Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 148 AI I Please Input Command 26

An old merchant's house.

Li Xiangshu's method of saving the country through a roundabout way has begun to show results.

At first, when she visited Old Lady Shang with gifts, she was sent away without even seeing her. Later, she refused to believe in evil and made an effort to learn about Buddhism, and finally won the old lady's favor.

At this moment, she was accompanying Old Lady Shang in chanting sutras in the Buddhist temple.

While the other party was chanting with her eyes closed, Li Xiangshu secretly relaxed his sitting posture, rubbed his numb ankles, and stared at the old lady's back with resentment in his eyes.

The content of the Buddhist scriptures was obscure and difficult to understand. The more she read, the more upset she became. She even regretted using her interest in Buddhism as an excuse to get close to Old Lady Shang. It was simply a torture for such an active person like her.

Hearing footsteps not far away, she immediately sat up straight, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and pretended that she was reciting scriptures devoutly.

Mother Jiang came over at the right time and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, it's time for afternoon tea."

Old Mrs. Shang paused while fiddling with the Buddhist beads, stopped chanting and slowly opened her eyes. Mother Jiang was also busy, she immediately walked over and helped the person up.

Li Xiangshu stood up as well.

Old Madam Shang turned around, her face full of kindness, "It's hard for you, a little girl, to accompany me, an old woman, to recite scriptures. Let's go and have some tea."

There was no afternoon tea originally, it was added specially to test Li Xiangshu.

Li Xiangshu was unaware of this. She was just happy that the torturous chanting was finally over. If it continued, she would fall asleep.

She grinned subconsciously, revealing two rows of neat and white teeth, "Okay, Grandma Shang."

Who would have thought that just this relaxed smile would instantly change Mrs. Shang's expression, and even her eyes became sharp, "Who told you to smile like that? It's simply immoral."

Li Xiangshu didn't understand. She had been laughing like this for more than 20 years. How could it be considered immoral?

Seeing that she still refused to admit her mistake, Jiang Ma hurriedly reminded her kindly, "Miss Li, the ancients said that you should not show your teeth when you smile. You have been abroad for many years, so you must not forget your roots. Don't dare to smile like that again in the future!"

What the hell, smiling without showing teeth?

What a broken rule! The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years, but this old lady is still doing this!

They even dared to say that she was ungrateful. She had studied abroad for many years and I don't know how much she and those foreigners had promoted Chinese culture. Besides, this dregs of persecuting women should have been discarded eight hundred years ago.

This old lady is really taking advantage of her age. If it weren't for Shang Liyan, she wouldn't bother to flatter her!

Li Xiangshu clenched the Buddhist beads tightly, reminding herself that if she was impatient, she would lose her husband. Only then did she resist the urge to throw the beads at the old lady's face.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed the breath, then stiffly raised the corners of her lips and smiled at the old lady again, "Thank you, Grandma Shang, for your guidance. I'll take note of the Xiangshu."

Old Lady Shang had been observing her expression. Seeing that the girl from the Li family suppressed her unhappiness and gave in, she shook her head secretly in her heart. It was not enough and she needed to continue to hone her skills.

The granddaughter-in-law she wants is not just someone who can swallow her anger.

With the help of Mother Jiang, Mrs. Shang went to the living room.

Li Xiangshu followed the two men, cursing inwardly: These two feudal scoundrels, sooner or later one day...

When I walked into the living room, there was no snacks or tea as I had imagined. There was only an empty tea set on the table, with some tea leaves and a pot of boiling water next to it. Could it be that he wanted her to... show off her tea art?

Sure enough, Jiang Ma extended her hand toward her and said, "Ms. Li, please."

Li Xiangshu stared at the tea set and licked his lips nervously, "Mrs. Shang, I'm not very good at making tea, so I'm sorry to show off my skills in front of an expert."

Old Mrs. Shang didn't say anything, but glanced at Mother Jiang. Mother Jiang immediately understood and took the initiative to persuade her.

"Miss Li, don't be nervous. In fact, making tea is very simple. The young master is very good at making tea and is loved by the old lady. Why don't you follow me and do it."

Hearing that Shang Liyan was good at making tea, Li Xiangshu finally became interested.

"First, warm the pot and the cup, then lift the pot and pour it over your head."

Mother Jiang demonstrated as she spoke. She poured boiling water on the teacup, then grabbed the lid with her bare hands and shook it a few times on the cup holder, then lifted it up and shook it.

Li Xiangshu followed suit and learned, but the cup lid, which had been poured with boiling water, was too hot to touch.

Although she had been abroad for many years, her family had never lacked her expenses and she had never suffered any grievances in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. But now she was forced to learn how to make tea.

Li Xiangshu's hands were all red from being burned, but Jiang Ma kept finding faults in front of her ears, saying that her movements were too slow and not standard, like an annoying fly.

Li Xiangshu finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.

Whoever wants to be Shang Liyan’s unlucky wife can do it. I won’t serve you anymore.

She pushed the cup, and the porcelain made a crisp sound, which was particularly obvious in the living room. "Grandma Shang, your family's rules should be left to the real granddaughter-in-law. In a few months, you will be promoted to a great-grandmother anyway."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Shang's face visibly darkened.

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Jiang Ma immediately scolded her coldly, "Miss Li, you can eat whatever you want but you can't talk nonsense!"

Grandma Shang opened her eyes, her gaze full of oppression, "Speak clearly."

Li Xiangshu no longer wanted to please the old woman. She was very relaxed, even a little gloating, "Oh, Brother Li Yan didn't tell you! They are living together, and they even went to the obstetrics department for a prenatal check-up two days ago!"

Li Xiangshu left leisurely after dropping a bomb, and Old Lady Shang quickly asked someone to investigate.

After getting the investigation results and discovering that the little devil who seduced Shang Liyan was actually a village woman who had just graduated from high school, Mrs. Shang almost couldn't breathe.

"How can this be true? How can it be true?"

After all, the Shang family is a prominent family in the upper class, how could he marry an ignorant village woman?

Jiang Ma calmed down the old lady, "Old Madam, calm down, it must be that bitch who seduced the young master."

"No matter who it is, I will never allow anyone to tarnish the Shang family bloodline." Old Mrs. Shang said with a dark face, "Mother Jiang, I remember that you are from Jiangjia Village. I need you to do something for me."

Mother Jiang had guessed this would happen when she saw Jiang Pan'er's information, so she immediately nodded and said, "Well, old lady, please tell me what you want."

A few days later, Mother Jiang left the Jiang family's old house in a low-key manner.

It took three days of traveling, from high-speed rail to train, then to bus and then motorcycle, before Mother Jiang finally returned to Jiangjia Village.

She hasn't been back for nearly thirty years, but Jiangjia Village seems to have not changed much. It is still synonymous with poverty, and everyone in the village is a farmer who works hard in the fields.

"Who are you looking for?"

When the village chief heard that an elegantly dressed old lady was coming to the village entrance, he thought she was an important person and took the initiative to come out to meet her.

Jiang Ma had been in the business for a long time, and she was influenced by the noble air she saw and heard. She took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose with disgust, and said in a superior tone, "You must be the village chief. I am here to visit relatives. Please help me find a place to stay."
