Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

The next day, Chang Hai brought a chicken to Shen's house as a thank you to her.

Madam Shen felt that Chang Hai's gift was too expensive, and she also wanted to help Chang Hai wash his clothes. How could Chang Hai agree to let her wash his clothes in such a cold weather?

But he knew that things should not be rushed. If he said to Madam Shen, "Don't wash clothes anymore, I will support you," it might scare her.

The two of them pushed each other back and forth until New Year's Eve.

"Madam Shen, why don't you and Li Tao come to our house to celebrate New Year's Eve."

"Don't reject me in a hurry."

Chang Hai seemed to have predicted what Madam Shen was going to say and blocked her mouth first.

"My niece and daughter are going to their husband's house to celebrate the New Year, so it's just me and my mother, it's quite lonely, and it won't be lively enough for you two to celebrate the New Year, why don't the four of us celebrate together."

"My mother can't cook now, and we don't have a cook. I don't know how to cook either. It would be nice if you could cook a good New Year's Eve dinner for us."

Mrs. Shen was usually a bold and forthright person, but that was only when she was talking to someone from the same class as her. She respected Chang Hai in her heart, so she inevitably seemed a little awkward.

"My cooking skills are just average. I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes. I can't compare to those chefs in restaurants."

Chang Hai smiled, "Home cooking is enough. My mother loves home cooking the most. You just need to make it softer."

"I think the steamed buns you made earlier tasted very good."

These days, Chang Hai praised her whenever he had nothing to do, and a smile appeared on Mrs. Shen's round face like a full moon.

"Okay, I'll go over there then."

Madam Shen was thinking about going to the market later.

Although she and Li Tao were not well off, they still managed to save a few cents as the Chinese New Year approached.

She would go buy some cloth later and sew something small overnight. Then tomorrow she would bring a piece of meat and some eggs. Although they were not valuable things, they were already very impressive gifts for her and Li Tao.

Chang Hai reminded him, "Just arrive tomorrow and don't bring anything."

Mrs. Shen's smile was flawless, but she had made up her mind to bring something to the door tomorrow.

Li Tao looked at Chang Hai's back, thoughtfully.

Mr. Wang is totally different from before. How can a gentleman come to a student's home to work?

These days, Mr. Wang has been responsible for chopping wood, fetching water and making fire.

His mother didn't know Mr. Wang's background, but he knew a little bit.

I heard that Mr. Wang’s daughter married General Fucha.

He had also heard of General Fucha's name.

Although I don’t know where my niece will marry, it seems like it won’t be a bad choice.

Why would such a person work for them and their child?

Li Tao thought of his father.

He was still very young when his father died, but he also remembered that this was how his father worked at home.

Could it be that Mr. Wang likes his mother?

The more Li Tao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He thought about it carefully and felt that it was not impossible for him to accept it.

But would others think that he was trying to curry favor with the powerful? He was clearly studying with Mr. Wang, but he insisted on using his own mother to find a future for himself.

Li Tao hesitated for a while, then calmed down.

He thought it was useless.

If his mother liked Mr. Wang, he would be happy for her to remarry.

His mother had a very hard life in the first half of her life.

Mr. Wang is a man of noble character and will definitely not let his mother down.

If his mother doesn't like Mr. Wang, he will support his mother even if his husband is the emperor today.

Li Tao thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, what do you think of Mr. Wang?"

Madam Shen thought about it carefully, and fine lines appeared in the corners of her eyes as she smiled. "Mr. Wang is considerate, upright, kind, and knowledgeable, so he is naturally very good."

She thought of Chang Hai catching chickens and said, "Sometimes he's a little silly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she seemed to have said something wrong. She shouldn't have said that her son's husband was stupid in front of her son.

But Li Tao already understood it in his heart.

It is obvious from the look on his mother's face that she is also attracted to the gentleman.

Otherwise, why would I think of the gentleman as "silly".

Now Li Tao began to hesitate about another question: should he let things take their course, or give them a push?

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to give it a push.

It’s not that I’m attracted by Mr. Wang’s family’s power.

He knew his mother. No matter how obviously he or Mr. Wang was moved, as long as she felt that this matter would affect him, Li Tao, she would definitely reject Mr. Wang.

His mother has worked hard for most of her life, and she is not doing anything wrong to his father, so why shouldn't he support her?

He also hopes that his mother will be happy.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Mrs. Shen took Li Tao to the market and bought a lot of things.

Li Tao was thinking to himself that yesterday Mr. Wang specifically told his mother not to bring anything to the house. Now that they came later, the two of them could have a fight again.

Li Tao grinned.

Seeing Madam Shen looking at him, he quickly put away his smile.

The two arrived at Chang Hai's home in the afternoon.

Chang Hai went out to buy things and was not at home.

When Wang Jia saw Madam Shen coming, she smiled.

"Good boy, I have been thinking about you since early morning, and finally you are here."

Madam Shen said, "Madam, what you said made me blush."

Wang Jia waved her hand and said, "It's too strange to call me old lady. Just call me aunt."

Madam Shen said, "Then I will shamelessly call you aunt."

Wang Jia smiled happily.

Chang Hai has been a gentleman for many years, and many women around him have shown their affection to him. After all, he is a widower now.

But not many people came for other people. Most of them came for his business or the relationship between Jinghua and Yixiu.

Wang Jia had lived a hard life for many years, and had long since developed a pair of sharp eyes to see through people.

This Madam Shen is a good person and she is blessed.

She was happy to have Madam Shen as her daughter-in-law.

Li Tao followed behind Madam Shen and called her grandma sweetly.

He looked at Wang Jia carefully.

It seems that Wang Jia is also interested in her mother.

Madam Shen was about to go into the kitchen to help, but Wang Jia stopped her and said, "Let Chang Hai do the rough work like washing vegetables and lighting the fire later. It's not reasonable to let a guest do it."

"I call you aunt, so I am no longer a guest. Let me come."

"Listen to me, sit down."

Wang Jia pushed Madam Shen to sit down, then went to the cupboard and took out a food box.

When I opened it, there were all kinds of exquisite snacks and candies inside. They were delivered by Yixiu this morning and were still fresh.

She put it on the table and said to Li Tao, "Kid, just pick whatever you want to eat."

Li Tao, who is in his early twenties, felt a little embarrassed, as if he was being treated like a child.

But the dessert made him look sideways.

The level of exquisiteness shows that it can only be made by a wealthy family.

I guess it was sent from General Fucha’s Mansion.

Li Tao sat for a while and said, "I'll go to the door to greet Mr. Wang."

Wang Jia stopped him immediately and said, "You, I am here to test your knowledge. Let your mother handle the reception for Chang Hai."

The old man and the young man looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. They hit it off and pushed Madam Shen out.
