586 My compensation isn’t just money
Seeing that Empress Jiang had stopped crying, Madam li continued, ” “Auntie, you see, marriage is unpredictable. Maybe God has arranged such a life for me! But the heavens have been kind to me! Although I was lost at home, my grandmother picked me up. No one in the Luo family treats me as an outsider. I’ve been married for almost twenty years, and my maternal family still has my back! This time, it was purely because the Li family’s cousin had lost his mind and caused trouble. However, he has lost his mind, and the Li family members will admit it. In the future, my son will have the final say in the entire Li family!”
“You see, if I find a good match, and that good match’s family is not good, and he’s the only one who’s good to me, I have no meaning in living! How could everything go as one wished in life? I’m already very grateful to the heavens for letting my biological parents, Auntie, and cousin Yingluo live. Oh, right, Auntie, are your sons and daughters older or younger than me?”
Empress Jiang replied,”Zhenzhen, I have a son and a daughter. They are both your cousins.” They’re already married and have a child.”
Mrs. Li laughed and said,”look, God even gave me cousins!” In the future, my mu Yan will have many more cousins! When mu Yan was only a few years old, I was sad for a while. But after I saw my fair and delicate son, I was not sad anymore. Li family’s cousin cheated on my feelings, but he’s good-looking. I’m in a good mood looking at mu Yan! Think about it, if the Li family’s older cousin is ugly and our children grow up in his direction, how upset would I be? I’d have to worry about my children getting married in the future!”
“That’s why I say, as long as a person thinks it through, their life will naturally be better. The unfaithful man gets his girlfriend, I get my money, we don’t interfere with each other. He’s gone mad after crossing the river!”
“Hehehe, so Auntie, don’t feel guilty. Really, I’m doing well! I believe that my parents don’t blame you! You’re their little sister. If they don’t protect you, do you think they’ll trust others to protect you? No one wanted to do this. Auntie, don’t cry!”
Empress Jiang looked at Madam li and wiped her tears. “Yuanyuan, what do the Luo family do? Tell me, I’ll definitely repay them.”
Mrs. Li waved her hand. no need, no need. The Luo family is rich. We don’t need any repayment. And my brother and younger brother also said that if it’s true, they’ll help me bring my parents over. Aunty, you know about mu Yan’s situation. I’m not at ease with him at all. Little Lian had said before that her father was sick. Was it serious? Maybe a long journey?”
Empress Jiang smiled. The compensation she was talking about was not just money! Forget it, she would wait for her brother and sister-in-law to come over.”Yuanyuan, your father’s illness is acting up again. It’s not convenient for you to go over, but he can. I’ll write him a letter! That’s right, I see that little Lian’s drawing skills are quite good. Are you willing to let little Lian draw a portrait of you, and I’ll send it over?”
“Of course!” Mrs. Li nodded. Little Lian’s painting was indeed very impressive. Why don’t I rest here for a day and you come back with me tomorrow, aunt? mu Yan wanted to come when he heard about it, but he’s still injured and it’s not good for him to go out.”
Empress Jiang was naturally willing to do so, so she said that they would go to the prefecture together the next day.
They had dinner at the Gu family’s old mansion. When they heard about the relationship between Madam li and Empress Jiang, the children and grandchildren of the Gu family only felt that it was very strange. Grandpa and Grandma Gu were even more surprised that they could find out about this. Was the Li family going to rise to the top?
