Chapter 163 Returning to Mother’s Home
"Go prepare the meal quickly, Lanlan is hungry." Li Chunsheng ordered without even looking at Liu.
Liu couldn't stay there for a moment, so she responded hastily and went out. After she got out, she breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the door. What a shameless couple! She had to go find Li Dajiang. She couldn't let them stay here. It was such a disgrace.
The first thing Li Dajiang did when he came back was that Liu told him about this. Li Dajiang was skeptical because his father didn't seem like that kind of person.
After seeing the woman his father brought, Li Dajiang finally believed what Liu said. He was angry, but since he had already married her home, there was no point in him saying anything.
Seeing Old Man Li's clothes and his hair tied up, Li Dajiang felt really uncomfortable. He looked so different from the Old Man Li he had in mind. Also, the pipe that he always kept in his hand was gone. If he wasn't too familiar with him, he would have suspected that he had become a different person.
In fact, it was Zhao Lanlan's strong request that Old Man Li dress this way. Dressing this way makes him look younger and doesn't look much different from her.
Zhao Lanlan asked Liu to take her for a good tour in the backyard of the county government office. If Li Dajiang could go back before, she believed that she would be able to hook up with Li Dajiang and then she could live here openly. What a pity.
In the afternoon, Zhao Lanlan said she wanted to go home and asked someone to prepare a sedan chair for her. Old man Li wanted to go with her, but she stopped him because he was too old and it would be embarrassing to take him back.
The sedan chair swayed all the way, almost making Zhao Lanlan fall asleep.
As soon as the sedan chair entered Zhaoguantun Village, it attracted the attention of the villagers. They looked at the sedan chair curiously. Who is this person with such a grand style and sitting in a sedan chair? Whose house is he going to?
Hearing the discussions outside the sedan, Zhao Lanlan suddenly perked up. She sat up straight with a proud look on her face.
But she did not lift the curtain. The location of their house was quite conspicuous. Even if she did not draw the curtain now, many people would see her when she got out of the sedan chair. So this would be enough.
Finally they arrived home. The sedan bearer stopped the sedan, reached out to lift the curtain, and Zhao Lanlan slowly walked out from inside. She was wearing a pink long dress with exquisite workmanship, a pair of gold hollow hairpins on her head, a pair of gold hairpins, pearl earrings on her ears, and a large gold bracelet on her wrist.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a nouveau riche.
"Hey, isn't this Lanlan?"
"Lanlan has become rich now. Look at her clothes. They must have cost a lot of money."
"I saw this dress in the county town a few days ago. It was worn by a rich lady. It was the same as this one. It was really beautiful."
Listening to their compliments, Zhao Lanlan raised her head, ignored them, and walked towards her home like a proud peacock.
Hearing the noise outside, Zhao Jinbao did not go out, but continued to chop the firewood in his hand. He must store more firewood. It would snow in winter and the weather would be very cold. If he did not store more firewood, people would freeze to death.
As he was chopping the wood, suddenly a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in the open space in front of him. The shoes were embroidered with intricate patterns and bright colors. It was obvious at a glance that the shoes were not cheap.
Following the embroidered shoes and looking up, he saw a pink long skirt, and finally a pretty little face staring at him. Zhao Jinbao's initial confusion turned into disbelief, and the more he looked, the wider his eyes widened.
The person in front of him was none other than his eldest daughter who had been sold not long ago. But why did she appear here, and her clothes must be worth a lot of money.
Zhao Jinbao stood up from his seat suddenly: "Lanlan, why are you back?"
"Dad, it's a relief that you still remember me. It's really hard for you." Zhao Lanlan snorted coldly with a look of disdain on her face, with her nose turned up.
"Did you sneak back? Go back quickly." Zhao Jinbao looked towards the door in panic to see if anyone was chasing him.
"Do you think I look like I sneaked back?" Zhao Lanlan stretched out her hands and gestured left and right so that he could see clearly what she was wearing.
It doesn't look like it, but how can a daughter who has been sold come back?
At this time, Zhao Lanlan's mother, Wang, heard the noise and came out. When she saw Zhao Lanlan in the yard, her face was full of disbelief. Her eyes widened in shock. She was surprised at first, and then turned into anger.
Once something is sold, it becomes someone else's property. If she sneaks back and the owner comes looking for her, it will be troublesome. I was about to scold her.
Zhao Lanlan knew what she was thinking and spoke first: "Mom, I came back in a sedan chair. I came to Chengyang County to see you. I will leave soon."
Now Zhao Jinbao and his wife were even more confused, and they asked carefully what Zhao Lanlan had experienced in the past few days.
Zhao Lanlan did not answer. She looked around the shabby little courtyard. It looked almost the same as when she left. Her brother and sister-in-law did not seem to be at home. She didn't know where they had gone to play.
Finally, she walked into the house, and Zhao Jinbao and his wife followed her. When they sat on the stool and wanted to have a cup of tea, they found that there was not even a decent cup.
They couldn't help but curl their lips, then slowly opened their mouths and told the story of how she was sold. When they mentioned that she got married, and married the father of the county magistrate of Chengyang County, their eyes lit up, and the way they looked at Zhao Lanlan immediately changed.
Their Lanlan was really lucky. She actually caught the eye of the old man in the county magistrate's family, and she was even his co-wife. The status of a co-wife was not ordinary. This was really great. The two of them were only happy that their daughter had married well, but did not pay any attention to the fact that Zhao Lanlan was talking about the county magistrate's father, who was much younger than him.
"My dear daughter, you have finally come home, please stay at home for two days." A flattering look immediately appeared on Zhao Jinbao's face, and the way he looked at Zhao Lanlan was different. Now her daughter was married well, but she was the co-wife of a wealthy family and had a noble status.
"Yes, yes, I'll go kill the old hen right now. You haven't eaten your mother's cooking for a long time." Wang said as she was about to catch the chicken.
Zhao Lanlan listened to their words calmly, snorting in her heart. If they didn't see that she was living well outside, the two of them might have tied her up and sent her to the person who wanted to buy her.
She has always known her parents very well: "No, when I left, the master told me to go back early, I just came to see you."
"Lanlan, please stay a little longer. We don't know when you will come next time. Your mother misses you so much. She talks about you every day and is worried that you won't have enough to eat or sleep well outside. Seeing how you are now, we are relieved."
Zhao Jinbao looked at her eagerly and lied without hesitation, just like a kind father who cared about his child.
Zhao Lanlan curled her lips inwardly.
