The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 280 281 Lai Di who is long and crooked

  Zhao Di saw Li Mei's appearance and wondered if something had happened? Looking at Li Mei anxiously, waiting for Li Mei to speak.

  Li Mei waited for Brother Pig to close the courtyard door, then turned to look at Zhao Di and asked, "Zhao Di, tell your mother honestly, is there someone in Laidi's heart?"

Zhao Di thought for a moment, looked at Li Mei and said, "Mother, I only know that Laidi does not want to marry the men in the village. She thinks that they are ignorant, so she spends her time with two dollars, and she is not very capable. She also said that it would be better to marry them and become a sister-in-law."

   Li Mei said angrily, "Then what kind of man is she looking for?" Zhao Di shook her head, "She doesn't talk to me much anymore, she doesn't like going to Chen's house."

   Li Mei had no choice, the mother and daughter sat there frowning, "Mother, I know where the second sister went." Brother Pig stood at the door of the main room at some point.

   "You know? Then tell me where is your second sister?" Li Mei got up and pulled Brother Pig to his side.

   "Second sister has gone to that person's house. That person lives in a few thatched cottages at the foot of the mountain that is not far from the town. He is a scholar."

   Li Mei asked in a series of questions: "How did you know? How did she know the scholar who lives at the foot of the mountain?"

  Zhao Di said anxiously: "Mother, don't panic and ask Brother Pig how he knew it. You go to Uncle Zhou to borrow a carriage and let Brother Pig lead the way. Let's go to the town and see."

   "Alright, I'll borrow a car." Li Mei strode to Zhou's house, and soon drove the carriage to the door. When Brother Zhu and Zhao Di got into the car, the mother and son walked towards the town.

Sitting next to Li Mei, Brother Pig said to Li Mei, "After the New Year's Eve when it snowed, I saw the second sister sneaking out with two pairs of boots and two sweaters. I thought she was going to play and ran away. I went out and hid in the upper seat of the carriage, followed her to the foot of the mountain, and the second sister said that you would be angry when you found out, so I was not allowed to say it, and I was afraid that you would be angry and didn’t say it.”

   Li Mei glanced at Brother Pig's worried eyes, warmed her heart, and said softly: "Silly boy, mother is not angry with you, you should tell mother earlier."

   "Well! I'll tell my mother later."

Outside the three newly built thatched cottages at the foot of the mountain outside Fengming Town, Laidi was busy washing by the ditch beside the house. In the fence yard behind, there was a gentle and handsome man with a book watching intently. .

  Li Mei came down to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain under the guidance of Brother Pig, and saw the man in the courtyard who was studying hard. She thought: As expected, she looks like a dog, no wonder she lost her daughter's modesty. This dead girl! Why don't you think about it, if he is sincere to her, why doesn't he invite a matchmaker to come to the house to propose marriage? Let her be so nameless, let people see how she will behave in the future?

  Brother Pig saw Laidi busy by the ditch at a glance, pointed to Laidi and said, "Mother, look at the second sister there!"

The man who was studying seriously in the yard heard Brother Pig's voice and raised his head to see Li Mei who was angry. Laidi also looked back and saw Li Mei who was full of anger. He put his clothes into the wooden basin and slowly came to Li Mei. In front of Mei, she asked softly, "Mother, why are you here?"

Li Mei didn't get angry when she saw Lai Di's appearance, got out of the car and walked in front of her, slapped Lai Di's face with a slap in the face, and asked bitterly, "I taught you how shameless you are. Is it?"

  Laidi covered her face and lowered her head in shame. The man came over and bowed to Li Mei and said, "Lady Li Fengqi has seen Auntie, please Auntie calm down."

   "Don't be like this, I never knew anything about Feng Qi Feng Luo, I taught my daughter, which is your turn to interrupt here?" Li Mei looked at him and said coldly.

  Li Fengqi blushed at Li Mei's words, and stood there for a while. Li Mei turned her head to look at Lai Di and shouted, "You still haven't gotten in the car? Would you like me to invite you?" Lai Di lowered her head and followed Li Mei into the car.

   At this moment, a blind old lady came out of the house with a cane and shouted, "Fengqi, did her mother come to find her?"

"Yes, grandmother." Li Fengqi frowned and walked in to support the old lady. The old lady said to Li Fengqi, "Fengqi! What do you think? Have you asked about it? What does Laidi's house do? If your family is good, please invite a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

Li Fengqi frowned, helped the old lady to sit down under the porch, took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, I haven't inquired yet, her family has a carriage and can still bring those things, I think her family is not bad. "

   "That's right! You never asked her?" the old lady asked.

"I only know that her family lives in Fengming Village. She sometimes delivers groceries to the town's grocery store. I don't know the rest. Besides, I don't know the villagers. Where can I ask? Grandma, sit down for a while. , I'll go get the clothes back to dry."

  Li Fengqi didn't tell the old lady, what he thought in his heart was that one day he would be able to help his career by marrying an official lady as his wife. Although Laidi is kind-hearted and cute-looking, she is, after all, a village girl and not her ideal wife.

Li Fengqi walked to the ditch and looked at the clothes that had been washed in the wooden tub. He suddenly remembered that there was a Jie Yuanlang from Fengming Village a few years ago. Let everyone look to Xie Yuanlang. I heard that Xie Yuanlang is also married to a girl from Fengming Village. Why don't you ask if her family has anything to do with Xie Yuanlang's family? If there is, it can be regarded as a good marriage.

   After thinking about it, Li Fengqi hung up his clothes in two or three times, said hello to the old lady, took the books copied for the bookstore, and walked to the town.

Lai Di sat in the carriage with her head down, not daring to look at Li Mei, who was driving the train in front of her. Zhao Di and Brother Pig sat on the rafter leaning against Li Mei. At Fengming Village, Brother Pig led the horse towards Zhou's house.

   Li Mei opened the courtyard door and said to Zhao Di: "Zhao Di, you go back first, so that your in-laws and family will not think too much!"

  Zhao Di glanced at Lai Di and said to Li Mei, "Mother, the doctor said that you can't get angry." Li Mei nodded and walked straight in.

  Laidi followed Li Mei into the main room, knelt at Li Mei's feet, bowed her head and said nothing.

   Why does this child become more and more disrespectful as he gets older? Li Mei took a deep breath and asked, "Do you just like that man?" Laidi glanced at Li Mei and nodded heavily.

   Li Mei suppressed the anger in her heart, "How do you know him, where is his family originally, how could he live there alone?"

Laidi lowered her head and dared not look at Li Mei, "After the New Year, I went to the town to deliver goods. The axle broke and the carriage overturned. He helped me pick up the things that had fallen on the ground, and later on the road. When I met him going to the town to buy things, I picked him up a few times, and I became familiar with him once I went there, knowing that he has good knowledge and a reputation as a scholar."

   Li Mei nodded and asked, "Are his parents still there?"
