Chapter 1424 - 1426: Li Duocai’s Daughter
Li Chuntao chose to stay in the courtyard because, firstly, she couldn’t cook at all, following into the kitchen wouldn’t be of any help, and it would let the sister-in-law see the side of her that can’t cook, which would be embarrassing.
Another reason is that she wanted to stay in the courtyard and get to know Xiaoxiao’s in-laws. Although it didn’t work out with Yang Dong, she still wanted to see if Xiaoxiao was doing well and if her in-laws were nice.
Seeing Li Chuntao’s actions, Yang Ming’s mother hurriedly spoke, "Oh my, girl, what work are you helping with? You don’t need to, just sit beside and watch, that’s enough."
There’s no reason for a guest to do work, and besides, this girl looks delicate and tender. Although she said she’s from the same village as the third son’s wife, she definitely doesn’t look like she’s done any work, probably pampered at a wealthy family!
If the family knew, they would probably complain, especially since this is the wealthy family.
Yang Dong’s mother’s thoughts weren’t known by Li Chuntao, she smiled and said, "It’s alright, Aunt, I’m idle anyway, just don’t mind if I’m slow."
This farm work was something she hadn’t done before, but she had seen it done many times, so she managed to imitate but was not very fast.
Seeing Li Chuntao like this, Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Mom, just let her do it, it’s alright, we’re not outsiders."
Xiaoxiao originally intended to take Li Chuntao to the kitchen, worried about leaving her alone in the courtyard awkwardly, worried she couldn’t handle it.
Now it seems she worried too much, Li Chuntao handled things well, so she smoothly let her stay in the courtyard, while she went with the sister-in-law to prepare lunch.
Seeing the situation, Yang Ming’s mother didn’t stop her anymore, hurriedly took a pair of gloves and handed them to Li Chuntao, speaking with concern, "Wear these, so you don’t hurt your hands."
"Thank you, Aunt." Li Chuntao took the gloves and put them on.
She had just rubbed a few corns manually, and her hands already started to feel hot and painful.
If she really worked bare-handed, her hands might be useless by the evening.
This farm work was truly not easy to do, looking at all the corn in the courtyard, and seeing the pile of corn kernels everyone had already rubbed down, she thought everyone’s hands must be hurting.
In this farmhouse courtyard, she indeed felt inferior everywhere!
Looking at the elderly person in front of her, Xiaoxiao was right, her mother-in-law was very nice, obviously a good person to get along with, unlike the lady next door, whom she had never even seen.
The first impression Li Chuntao gave to Yang Ming’s mother was quite good too.
She felt this girl obviously never did any work, yet she could lower herself to do it, always with a smile, a good girl indeed.
Li Chuntao didn’t know, this gesture of hers won the favor of the Yang Family even more.
The second daughter-in-law was originally someone who loves to talk, with a guest coming to the house, especially a female guest, the men surely wouldn’t have much to say, couldn’t really chat with a female guest.
The mother-in-law was a person of few words, so the burden of chatting fell on her, couldn’t really let the girl work without anyone talking, that would be too awkward.
Moreover, faced with such a pretty girl, the daughter of a wealthy family, her gossiping heart was stirred.
So she opened her mouth to ask, "You say you are from the same village as the third son’s wife? Which family from Stone Village are you, I haven’t heard of you?"
With the second sister-in-law actively chatting with her, Li Chuntao was very happy, replying with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, I am the daughter of Li Duocai from Stone Village."
