Ningxiang opened the door and invited her uncle and aunt into her home.

Cui quickly glanced at the yards of the two families, and saw that the yard was clean and the vegetable patches were green. He smiled and praised, "How long has Xiang'er been home? The yard is well-managed."

Ningxiang said politely: "I have only been back for a few days, and it was all my aunt who cleaned up."

The flattery was not right, Cui was a little embarrassed and looked at Li.

Li looked at her the most dislike and said mercilessly: "What kind of wind has blown you today? I haven't seen you for four or five years. I don't see you, so I can't accept it. If I don't help my sister-in-law and nephew, I will sell my niece as a maid, I will not sleep well every night, and I will not dare to go out on rainy days, so as not to let God hit me with a thunder!"

The more I spoke, the louder my voice became. The grandmother next door stood tightly in front of the wall, smiling.

My wife likes to listen to other people’s gossip, but Dazhuang’s father can’t control it, so she walked into the house with her hands behind her back.

Da Zhuang Niang continued to listen with relish.

But Cui did not give others a chance to watch the fun. She decided to come to the Xu family and was ready for the opportunity to be ridiculed by Li. Li really scolded her, and she only sighed softly, looking at Ningxiang as if she had a lot of hardship.

Zhang Man, a man, was even more unlikely to argue with Li, and his wife was mean and ruthless, and she deserved it, so she turned her head and looked aside, without any intention of being involved.

Amu was afraid of the adults' quarrel, so he nervously grabbed his sister's hand.

Ningxiang wanted to know the purpose of his aunt's visit, and understood that the eldest aunt would not speak here. She begged to look at Li, "I'll ask my uncle and aunt to go to the house to sit, and the eldest aunt will do it first."

Li was worried about her niece, so she pulled Ningxiang and walked a few steps aside. She seemed to be whispering, but her voice was not low. "Your mother was so sick back then, she refused to pay the money. She hadn't paid you for those copper coins in the past few years. There was no good thing for her to come here this time. No matter what she said, don't agree. If you can't make up your mind, come to me, and my aunt will make the decision for you!"

The elders were like hens protecting their cubs, Ningxiang felt more at ease and nodded with a smile.

Only then did Li lead Xu Qiuer away.

Ningxiang led his younger brother to walk in front, took out the key and opened the kitchen door lock, and asked Zhang Man and his wife to come in.

Often, she couldn't live in a human room. Before Ningxiang could change into a new item, she naturally revealed a bit of dilapidation. Zhang Man looked around for a week and thought about the year when his sister passed away. Because she bent down to weave baskets for many years, her back seemed to be even more bent.

Cui only had disgust in his eyes, but when he thought of his purpose of coming to the Xu family, he hid it in time. After entering the house, he sat on the kang familiarly, stared at Ningxiang and praised: "The girl has changed so much as she grows. Xiang'er is becoming more and more beautiful. My aunt almost recognized her just now." After that, she waved to Amu again and said with a smile: "What are Amu doing when she is hiding behind her sister? Come over and hug her aunt."

Amu raised his head and looked at his sister inquiringly.

Before Ningxiang could speak, Zhang Man encouraged his nephew and said, "Go, your aunt has prepared something good for you."

It was indeed a good thing. When he learned that his niece had redeemed his son and returned home, his wife offered to see her niece. The two families reconciled, but Zhang Man didn't believe it. It was not until his wife took out the gilded long-lived lock that his eldest son wore when he was a child and chose a favorite skirt that his eldest daughter wanted to give it to her niece as a gift. Zhang Man believed it.

My wife is the most stingy and is willing to give valuable things this time. It seems that she really regrets what she did. Unfortunately, her two sons live in their grandmother's house, and her daughter is so worried that her stomach will be ache, otherwise it would be great if the whole family would come together.

Amu looked at his uncle, but he still wanted to listen to his sister.

Ningxiang was about to speak, Cui sighed and walked to Ningxiang, saying regretfully: "Xiang'er, my aunt knows that she is sorry for you. My aunt couldn't get out of money back then, and she did such unethical things. It was not until your mother left. My aunt regretted it. She regretted it so much that she had no shame to come to see you for so many years. Yesterday, I heard that you had redeemed, and my aunt was happy from the bottom of her heart. She didn't care what others said, and she pulled your uncle to come. I just wanted Xiang'er to forgive her aunt for her sincere regret?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head, took out a veil to wipe his eyes, and when he raised his head, his eyes were really red and he was about to cry.

Ningxiang looked at the veil, and Yu Guangli saw his uncle looking at her expectantly. Knowing that his uncle had believed Cui's words, she smiled and said softly: "What is my aunt saying? When my aunt wanted to save a slap in her cousin, I understand that I didn't blame my aunt. I don't have to worry about it anymore. You are willing to come today, and I'm not happy yet. Why would you blame you? Auntie, sit down and rest for a while."

Su Yue often said she was honest, but at least she could tell whether others were sincere or false, and her uncle was honest and believed whatever others said. Ningxiang still remembers that when she was a child, her mother told her that once my uncle went to the market to sell mats. An old lady said that her house was nearby and wanted to try the mats first. She bought them when the size was right. Uncle nodded and agreed, asking the other party to take the mats away.

As a result, the other party was gone forever. When my aunt learned about it, she scolded my uncle for several days.

Sometimes Ningxiang is also angry with her uncle's silly spirit, but her uncle is born with this kind of temperament. What can she do?

Ningxiang was unwilling to be the one who made his uncle worried and embarrassed. Cui smiled happily, so she accompanied her to make trouble. Cui had something to ask for, and she could help him. If she couldn't help, she would directly tell her grievances and let her uncle understand that if Cui made trouble, it would be a tough problem for Cui. What will happen to the couple turn around, Ningxiang wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

The little girl was also very good at fooling people. Cui was half-believing and half-doubted. She suppressed her doubts for the time being. She squatted down and took out the long-prepared long-term lock. She said to her nephew's little face kindly: "Come on, my aunt asked someone to give Amu a long-term lock, so that we Amu will never have any illness or disaster in our life and will live a hundred years of long life."

He put it on for Amu without saying anything.

Amu touched the golden longevity lock on his chest, and liked it very much, looking at his sister with a smile.

Ningxiang touched her brother's head.

Cui opened the bag he brought again, took out a long, water-green long dress, pressed it to Ningxiang's waist and said, "Coincidentally, Xiang'er is wearing clothes similar to your cousin. This dress is made by your cousin. I'll give it to you before I've worn it."

Clothes made of muslins are considered good in the countryside.

Ningxiang was sure that Cui really wanted to please her, but she refused: "No, I have enough clothes, so my aunt should keep it for my cousin." Even my younger brother's long-lived lock would probably have to be returned later.

The two refused, and finally Zhang Man advised Ningxiang, "That's your aunt's wish, Xiang'er will accept it."

Ningxiang was barely taken away and placed it on the kang.

After being polite, Cui looked at Ningxiang with a smile, and after a while, he said to her husband: "Take Amu to the backyard to see if there is any work to help with. I will say a few words to Xiang'er. In a flash, it's a big girl. I have to tell her something carefully."

Zhang Man took his nephew out without any doubt.

Watching the two go out, Ningxiang leaned against the edge of the kang and chatted with Cui politely, "Did you say you've kissed me?"

Speaking of her beautiful daughter, Cui seemed worried but actually said proudly: "No, she has a high vision. The scholars in the town come to propose marriage and refuse to marry her. I don't know what she wants to marry."

I didn't mention that the scholar was nearly thirty years old and had no savings at home.

Ningxiang comforted perfunctorily: "Don't worry, aunt, my cousin is just fifteen, she looks good and has a good temperament, so there must be better ones."

Cui thought so too. Seeing that his niece was talking, it didn't seem to be pretending. Cui felt a little confident, with thin eyebrows and deep sighed: "Your cousin's marriage is not urgent, but my aunt is worried about your cousin. Your cousin failed the college entrance examination last year and will take the exam again soon this August. I'm really afraid that he won't do this time."

The Zhang family had spare money, so they sent their eldest son to a private school in the town early.

Ningxiang knew this, and she remembered that the cousin seemed to have a good academic talent. The reason why Cui refused to borrow money was to save money for her eldest son to study, and the future, the autumn examination and spring examination would be costing money...
