Chapter 866 This girl is a poor soul!

espect towards the third house."Even Wenjuan's confinement meals were made by her mother-in-law and aunts with their own hands because they didn't trust the maidservants..."And their families don't ha...Everyone stared at the old woman's face with bated breath, holding their chopsticks poised nervously, afraid she might be upset.

As a result, the old lady actually spoke without thinking, and she didn't react herself.

Jia Yi quickly snatched the conversation, saying, “Grandma, perhaps next year our family will have even more members. I… there’s something I want to say!”

Have something to say

Not only the old woman, but everyone else also looked up curiously.

Tao Hongying pressed further, "Liu Yang said last time that he was going to get married. Could it be that you have someone in mind as well"

Li Laotai was so excited that she quickly sat down beside her grandson and urged, "Quickly tell Grandma, whose daughter is it Is she pretty Has she reached the age of maturity"

Jiayi was being stared at by everyone, his face red as he coughed twice awkwardly. “Grandma, we haven’t even gotten together yet, I just…just want to tell you all first, if the family disagrees, then I…”

"Agree! How could I disagree!"

Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying almost shouted in unison.

Everybody laughed.

Mrs. Wen quickly urged, "Sister-in-law, let's just listen to Jiayi slowly. This is a lifelong matter, and it's good for Jiayi to be cautious."

Li Laosì also patted his nephew on the shoulder and smiled: “That’s right, hurry up and tell me, Fourth Uncle will help you strategize.”

After some thought, Jiayi said, "Actually, this matter is rather complicated. This young lady's name is Coral. Her father is a county magistrate near Quanzhou. He is quite capable and courageous. "

"Before, because of protecting fishermen, the county magistrate had a feud with a group of Japanese pirates. Half a year ago, the Japanese pirates broke into his home at night and killed his whole family. Only Coral girl was spared because she was not at home."

After the funeral, the Coral Girl disappeared from her home. Many people speculated that she had committed suicide. However, when I led my troops to sea, I encountered the Coral Girl.

She didn't know how she had tricked the pirates, boarded their ship, and drugged their drinking water. Most of the pirates died, but seven or eight escaped, driving Coral Girl to desperation...

At a critical moment, I happened to be patrolling with my men and ran into them. I killed the Japanese pirates and saved her.

"But I wasn't paying attention and didn't see the Japanese pirate swing his sword. It was Coral who saved me, taking the blow on her back."

"We... fell into the sea together, and Coral Girl got her clothes wet..."

Jia Yi spoke eagerly at first, but then his voice faltered when he said this sentence.

But everyone is not a fool, how could they not understand the meaning behind this.

For a long while, there was no sound in the room. Even the dumplings were forgotten.

In the end, it was Old Lady Li who spoke first, “Jia Yi, in simple terms, this girl is orphaned and homeless, seeking revenge on her own, you saved her, and she saved you too, right”

Jia Yi was just about to nod when Tao Hongying added, “And with everyone watching, this girl would lose her reputation by falling into the water with you, right”

Jia Yi's face turned even redder, nodding and shaking his head at the same time, leaving everyone confused.

Jia Yin heard this and impatiently tugged at her brother's sleeve, asking, "Brother, just tell me, where is that girl now Do you like her"

She was recuperating in our military field hospital, but because we were short-handed, she ended up helping out.

Jia Yi scratched his head and continued, "I haven't even spoken to her a few times, how would I know if she likes it or not."

"However, this girl isn't like those coy and delicate official daughters. If I were to marry her, she probably wouldn't pester me all day..."

The old girls in the house all listened with resignation, and Jia Yin even wanted to roll her eyes at her brother.

Clueless steel straight man!

Last but not least, Old Madam Li instructed Jia Yi, “Marriage is no child's play. Don't just casually bring someone back as your wife.”

If you like her, your family won't mind anything. But if you don't like her, it's like ruining another girl's life.

"You'll have to stay home for a while longer, let me think it over carefully. I want to find a solution that benefits both of us."

"This girl is a poor soul, one shouldn't mistreat her."

Tao Hongying and the others all nodded in agreement. As women, they understood the hardships faced by women better than anyone else.

“Mother, don’t worry too. At worst, we can bring that girl to Xindu. We can adopt her as our daughter and find a good husband for her.” Tao Hongying suggested.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and even Old Lady Li smiled and praised her daughter-in-law, "Hongying has made great progress by going out more. This is a good idea."

Tao Hongying blushed with praise and quickly said, "It's still my mother who taught well."

Soon, everyone picked up their chopsticks again, chatting and eating.

Li Lao'er got two jars of wine and distributed them among the people.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er both joined in the fun, smiling and getting half a cup each.

Thus, after finishing the dumplings, everyone was slightly tipsy, but not drunk and with no hangover.

After dinner, the women would put the children to bed and tidy up, then shoo the men away to chat in the next room.

Thus, the men all moved to the marquis's study.

Jia Ren's brothers pulled Jia Yi back to their room, not sure if they were going to get into mischief together or interrogate Jia Yi about his "flower" – whether she was pretty or not.

Jia Yin prepared some snacks and fruits for Zheng Qi, asking him to take them in to give the brothers a snack. Then she took the honey over to the neighbor's house.

Honey is the fruit of hard work by a bee colony after a space-based orchard blooms. It tastes much better than regular honey.

A pot of warm water, add three spoons, stir it up, and the whole house will be filled with sweetness.

The lord and his entourage each took a sip, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Our little Fu Niu'er is like a fairy, getting smarter and more skillful every day." Li La Er sighed with a smile. "If your brothers were half as sensible as you, your second uncle wouldn't have his hair turning white with worry."

"Yeah, the fourth one is still lucky. The rest of us are destined to run ourselves ragged for our sons!" Li Zhensheng thought about his two sons and felt resentful as well.

After dinner, my son ran off to play. Only my niece remembered to make them some honey water…

Li Lao San remembered that even Jia, his wife at home, sighed along with him...

Li Laosi laughed triumphantly, extending his empty cup for his daughter to refill it. He said, "Third brother is fine, but if the eldest and second brothers each marry again, they could still have a daughter!"

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er quickly waved their hands, both with faces of resistance.

Li Zhensheng said, "This is fine. We have Yu Ru and Hong Ying to look after our mother, we don't lack daughters-in-law.

"

"What if we have bad eyesight and bring home a troublemaker Then our mother will get angry, and our home won't be peaceful."

Li Lao'er also nodded in agreement, "Furthermore, with the current situation, our family is at the center of the storm. If they latch onto this incident and plot something else, it would be a disaster."

The Lord pondered for a moment and then said, "Jia Yi's marriage is a serious matter. In the future, our family will rely on him to establish a foundation in Quanzhou."

His wife, at the very least, should not be a hindrance.

"Should we still let Auntie and the others go to Quanzhou for a trip, clear their heads and also help Yi with his business!"

Everyone was stunned into silence for a long moment.

The Lord is definitely right, and besides, the family doesn't necessarily need the matriarch to be in charge now.

It's better to take advantage of the old lady's good health and energy now, to go out and see different cultures and people, and also to have a look at her potential future daughter-in-law. What's wrong with that...

But during this period, the Marquis suddenly brought up, is there any other consideration
