Chapter Thirty-One

 The silver coins that Li Xiaonan kept in her pocket were confiscated by her eldest sister. In the future, any money she earns from taking classes will have to be handed over. Li Xiaonan has no money and no interest in shopping.

Li Yinzhu really wanted to go shopping again, but she was lectured countless times by the eldest sister and the second sister in turn. If Li Xiaonan didn't mention shopping, she didn't dare to mention it.

For several days, the two of them stayed at home honestly. When Li Yinzhu was busy with housework, Li Xiaonan read a book. When Li Yinzhu sat down to wash clothes, or after finishing housework, Li Xiaonan taught her how to read and read books to her.

In the morning, Li Yinzhu first tidied up the kitchen, then went to the backyard to water the vegetable patch and move grass, then sat at the door of the kitchen and started washing clothes.

Li Xiaonan picked a copy of "Female Commandments" and read it while talking.

"...for more than forty years now, I have been fighting with fear and fear of humiliation..."

"Eh!" Li Yinzhu became surprised, "Didn't I just say that this is a book on how to be a good wife? This person has been a wife for forty years and is still trembling. How can she have the nerve to teach others how to be a good wife?"
Li Xiaonan raised her eyebrows high, stayed for a moment, and laughed.

"You damn girl, what are you laughing at? Where did I say something wrong?" Li Yinzhu raised his hand and shook Li Xiaonan's face.

"That's right, I was laughing because you said it right." Li Xiaonan wiped the water from her face.

"I'm talking nonsense! You're obviously laughing at me for saying something wrong." Li Yinzhu also laughed.

"You're right. I'm telling you about this book because it's quite famous. You have to know what's in this book. And if you follow what's written in this book, then you will

Just like the person who wrote the book, he has been trembling with fear all his life." Li Xiaonan shook the book of female commandments.

"Well, if you don't study this book, let's change it to another one. What I'm most afraid of is worrying. A few years ago..." Li Yinzhu waved her hand, "Second sister said not to advance a few years in advance, so let's not mention it. I don't want it."

Trembling."

"I think this book is what mothers-in-law want their daughters-in-law to learn from.

"I heard that your mother-in-law is quite knowledgeable. You must know this book. When you marry into the Hong family, if your mother-in-law tells you the words in this book and asks you to do this or that, you must know what she is talking about.

From this book, you will know that you cannot ignore her. If you do what she says, you will be in trouble."

Li Xiaonan dragged her chair, got closer to Li Yinzhu, and patted Li Yinzhu with her book.

"I'm not afraid of her. Brother Nong asked, and the Hong family doesn't beat their wives." Li Yinzhu waved her hand nonchalantly.

Li Xiaonan cupped her chin and looked at her third sister.

Regarding her third sister's future relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she doesn't know whether she should worry about her third sister or Hong Er's mother-in-law.

Her third sister only has two requirements for this marriage: to be fed and clothed, and not to be beaten.

"Is Miss Li here?"

Following the sound, the courtyard door was pushed open, Wan Qing stretched her head in, and turned around to look at it curiously.

"Come in, come in!" Li Xiaonan jumped up, grabbed Wan Qing, and dragged her into the courtyard gate.

"I recognize you, your name is Wan Qing." Li Yinzhu stood up quickly, shook the water on his hands, picked up his skirt and wiped it.

Wan Qing watched Li Yinzhu wipe her hands with her skirt skillfully, and tried her best to control her face, consciously holding back all the shock and disgust.

"Sister Third Sister, this is an apron. It was originally used as a hand towel." Li Xiaonan picked up Sister Third Sister's apron and explained.

"I didn't...I wasn't..." Wan Qing suddenly felt embarrassed.

"You've never seen a family like ours, right? Come, let me show you! Let's go to the backyard first. Our vegetables are growing so well!" Li Xiaonan took Wan Qing to the backyard.

"No, no, no, we have to leave quickly. Our prince is waiting in the teahouse." Wan Qing struggled back.

"It's okay, let him wait for a while, and you said you'll wait for me to change clothes." Li Xiaonan turned around and pushed Wan Qing from behind.

"Yes." Wan Qing was immediately relieved.

When a girl goes out, she always has to put on her make-up and change her clothes. It’s not like she can just go out!

Wan Qing followed Li Xiaonan, looked at the vegetable patch in the backyard, then looked at the spinning wheel and loom, then looked at Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu's bedroom, and finally looked around the kitchen. Wan Qing began to urge Li Xiaonan, "Hurry up and change your clothes!"



"I only have two pairs of clothes, this one, and another one. Third sister is washing it, let's go." Li Xiaonan pushed Wan Qing out of the courtyard.

"You only have two clothes? Clothes like this?" Wan Qing turned around and pulled Li Xiaonan's sleeves, in disbelief.

"Our family now has copper coins, and each person has two clothes. In the past, each person had one suit, which cannot be counted as one person. The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister only have one skirt in total." Li Xiaonan smiled.

"Ah?" Wan Qing didn't know what to say.

"Our family is considered a good household in our village, and other families are even poorer. Hush, I can't speak anymore."

Already arriving at the entrance of the alley, Li Xiaonan motioned to Wan Qing.

Wan Qing quickly pursed her lips, smoothed her skirt, and followed Li Xiaonan, lowering her head slightly and walking in a very orderly manner.

Gu Yan was already sitting at the table by the window, leaning on the back of the chair, swinging the folding fan, watching Li Xiaonan come in.

Seeing Li Xiaonan approaching, Gu Yan put away the folding fan and just clicked it. Before he could say the word "sit", Li Xiaonan had already pulled out the chair and sat down.

Gu Yan turned back to the folding fan, leaned back in his chair, and glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan stretched her head and took a look. There were four plates of snacks and a pot of tea on the table, but there was only one cup, which was placed in front of Gu Yan.

"Are there any cups?" Li Xiaonan looked at Shi Gun.

Shi Gun looked at his eldest son, not daring to move or respond.

"Can't I drink this tea?" Li Xiaonan immediately turned her head and pointed at the teapot and asked Gu Yan.

"You sat down without waiting for the host to let you sit down. The host didn't invite you to tea, so you just opened your mouth and asked for it yourself. Didn't your eldest sister teach you the rules?" Gu Yan patted the table with a folding fan.

"Are you the master? This is your home? This is the tea house..."

Before the name of the teahouse could be fully uttered, Li Xiaonan remembered that he had bought the teahouse and it belonged to his family.

"Even if you are the owner of this teahouse and the teahouse is open for business, you are still considered a guest when you come to drink tea. Why are you the owner?"

Gu Yan felt guilty for a moment when he heard Li Xiaonan mentioning the word "Fang" in the tea house, and immediately became tough again. He clapped his hands with a folding fan and said, "You little girl, you have such a bad mouth!"

Gu Yan clicked his tongue and lit Li Xiaonan with his folding fan, "When you mentioned the teahouse, that word "square", you felt guilty, right? Remember that this teahouse belongs to my family?

"You are so petty and change your mind very quickly. You have a good reason. You are right. Even if this teahouse belongs to my family and I come to the teahouse to drink tea, I must still be considered a guest. You win.

"Get her a cup!"
