Chapter 53 The Du Family
Ms. Wang couldn't help laughing, and immediately scolded her daughter with a straight face.
"You are not allowed to show your teeth and claws when you go. Now your two little uncles are in charge of the school. You will not be allowed to fool you when you make mistakes. The Wang family is well-bred, not our family. You will cover it up and down."
Li Yu is afraid of his old mother. She is a strict mother and a loving father on one side, and a loving mother and strict father on the other side. The siblings are brought up differently.
Looking politely, Lin Yue laughed and envied her from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that she listened to the persuasion, Mrs. Wang showed a smile, looked at the two of them, and admonished them earnestly.
"It's not easy for a woman to work hard all her life, and it's even more difficult to survive in troubled times. When you two go to school, you must study hard and study hard. Don't waste time. Learning skills is the foundation of your life."
"yes."
The two answered at the same time.
"When you arrive at Du's house, you must abide by the rules, especially pay attention to the defense of men and women. Don't show weird expressions when you see anything. Be generous. If you are wronged, if it is not a big matter, don't make it public. We are guests, and guests follow the host. Then, understand."
"remember."
Lin Yue knew that she was reminding herself, don't make trouble and embarrass herself.
"Mother, why don't we go directly to Linqi, and stay at Du's house."
"Silly boy, wait for your brothers to pick you up."
Ms. Wang touched her daughter's face with a smile, and looked at her with pity. The journey had exhausted her daughter.
"It's all here, there is no danger, it doesn't matter if you pick it up or not."
Li Yu blinked in confusion.
"This is not to show off, but to show strength and tell everyone that the Li family is not on the shelf, especially the elite soldiers and generals, and your father is still as strong as ever."
Ms. Wang knows Boss Li best and knows everything about the Li family well. As a clan wife, she has achieved the ultimate and won the trust and dependence of the Li family.
Li Yu blinked and nodded, "It's so complicated."
"You are so lazy, you don't use your brain."
Wang poked her forehead angrily.
Li Yu giggled, sticking to his old lady with a playful smile, acting like a baby.
"My mother is the most powerful, she is the female Zhuge."
Turning her head and flirting with Lin Yuexian again, "My mother was called female Zhuge in her boudoir."
"Madam is amazing."
Lin Yue’s admiration is sincere. This place is different from the capital city. There is no element of praise. There are too many capable people in a place where powerful people gather. It is difficult for non-top-notch talents to stand out.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, it's just to save face for the Wang family."
There was no complacency in Wang's eyes as he waved his hands.
Several people were chatting in the carriage, talking about the local specialties and local customs. Everyone was in high spirits for a while, swept away the previous sad atmosphere, and began to look forward to the arrival of a new life.
When Rizhao City arrived, the carriage went straight into the Du family's mansion. Mrs. Du and the female family members of the Du family all came out to welcome the Gu and Li families.
"Mother, this is Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Li, this is General Li, the General Li that my father always talks about, this is his wife, the eldest daughter of the Langya Wang family, these two are their sons and daughters, This is the eldest grandson of the Gu family, and this is Mrs. Gu..."
Du Yu will introduce you one by one.
Mrs. Du has been a widow for a long time. She is wearing a maroon red brocade skirt with eight blessings, with only silver hairpins on her head. Next to her is Du Yu's mother in a light blue skirt.
The rest are Du Yu's uncles and aunts.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Boss Li and his sons and daughters greeted each other with fists first.
"Okay, the old man said peace to the two adults."
Mrs. Du saluted solemnly, with a very respectful attitude, and there was admiration for heroes in her eyes.
Old man Li smiled slightly and raised his hand.
"Okay, this is your second elder's grandson and grandchildren. It's so good. They are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they are as gentle as jade. They have a gentleman's demeanor. They are good. Your second elder is blessed."
Mrs. Du's eyes fell on Li Rui and other juniors, and she praised them with joy.
"The younger generation greets the old lady, and greets all the ladies."
Li Yu and other juniors stepped forward and saluted the Du family's wives.
"Okay, get up, you are all good boys."
"Grandmother, let's talk in the room. It was hard for me to invite the second elder to my house as a guest."
"It's done beautifully, and I'll reward you with a bowl of meat. I personally arranged it, so I don't want to embarrass you. The female family members live in the backyard, and the girls live in your sister's boudoir. The old man lives in the front yard, and your grandfather's study is still idle... "
This time it was Mrs. Du who arranged it in person, which shows that she attaches great importance to it.
"I'm bothering you."
Boss Li cupped his fists again to express his gratitude.
"General Li, you are welcome. You can come to live in our house. It is due to the good deeds of our Du family ancestors. The Du family is flourishing. You must not be polite."
Old Madam Du looked at his face with joy, this welcoming attitude made people happy.
After exchanging pleasantries all the way, they entered the main hall of the Du family. The Du family is rich, but the furnishings are not vulgar. On the contrary, they are low-key and elegant.
The maids served tea one by one.
The elders were greeting each other. Mrs. Du earnestly asked about the road, and when she learned that it was General Li who saved her eldest grandson, Mrs. Du got up immediately and was about to kowtow, but was stopped by Mr. Li.
Madam Du wiped her tears, "My son passed away suddenly, and the family was in chaos. My eldest grandson had to take risks to suppress the goods. The Du family was devastated. My old lady couldn't die and live soon, and my children and grandchildren were hurt..."
She wiped her tears in grief, more than one person died in this troubled world.
"Your condolences..."
In this case, it is not easy for the juniors to intervene. Li Yu and a few juniors just sit quietly and listen.
"General Li, we are really destined, Brother Yu, let the mine vein be given to General Li. Money is something outside of the body, and the safety of the family is the most important thing."
Du Yu stood up and replied, "Don't worry, grandma. I will truthfully explain the mine veins to General Li on the way. The contract has been given. I will take someone to transfer the ownership in a while."
Mrs. Du nodded, her eyes were firm and steady, her tone was gentle but firm, and she could see that she had a sassy temper when she was young.
"Don't delay, so as not to cause trouble again, don't hesitate to keep the money you can't keep."
"yes."
"The person who surveyed and mapped was also given."
Mrs. Du settled the matter in a blink of an eye, as evident by her snappy temper.
"The grandson will fix it in a while."
"Um."
"Grandmother, the grandson's letter said about moving to Linqi's main house..."
"Yes, you are also very thoughtful, and you will move out after packing up, according to your arrangement."
Madam Du is a strong and unruly master, otherwise she would not be able to raise excellent children and grandchildren after losing her husband in middle age. As a businessman's wife, it is not ordinary people who can do this.
"The grandson will go to Zhang Luo in a while."
"The few who came from a long distance must be exhausted, I have someone prepare hot water, you rest first, let's have a good drink and get together tomorrow."
"good."
Mrs. Du just served the tea.
The girl came in and led everyone to live in the guest house yard. The women's family members lived in the backyard, and only Li Yu and Lin Yue lived in the boudoir where the married daughter of the Du family lived.
The yard of the daughter's house is clean, and boys will not be allowed to live in it, which also shows respect for guests.
