Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 49 A woman with a big face is blessed

When Granny Hua and Zhang Laizi entered the door, the biggest reaction was not from Li Ruru, nor from the three maids.

Xiao Yishan never interfered in Li Ruru's private affairs, while Chu Xiu squinted at Zhang Laizi.

Xiao Wu wouldn't say much; he was essentially living under someone else's roof here.

No one reacted strongly, because those who react strongly are not human.

Yes, it's Qiqi.

It bared its teeth and roared as it charged forward.

Granny Hua was so frightened she almost fell over, while Zhang Laizi jumped three feet high and hugged her tightly.

"Grandma, I'm scared!"

That's right, Zhang Laizi and Granny Hua are relatives.

Grandma Hua's original name was Zhang Hua, and she was the younger sister of Grandpa Zhang Laizi.

Yesterday, Zhang Laizi was severely reprimanded by Granny Hua after returning home.

Zhang Laizi felt that Li Ruru could not bear a son to carry on the family line, and that marrying Li Ruru would be to cut off the bloodline of his Zhang family.

Granny Hua retorted, "Are you stupid? If she can't have children, can't you use that as an excuse to find another woman to have children for you?"

Zhang Laizi immediately became interested upon hearing this, "But I don't have that much money, how am I going to find other women?"

Granny Hua said with exasperation, "Is your brain filled with mush? What did you marry her for?"
"Of course it's for her money! She made a lot of money selling konjac tofu; she even bought an oxcart."

Zhang Laizi's eyes lit up. "Does Aunt mean I can marry her and then spend her money to live a carefree life?"

Granny Hua slapped him across the face, "You stubborn fool, you've finally come to your senses."

Her three daughters are all getting married, and everything she has will be yours. You can live off the entire family fortune she has lost.

"Wow, this is great! It's good to eat the spoils of the poor!" Zhang Laizi clapped his hands immediately, already looking forward to the happy days to come.

Grandma Hua originally planned to wait for Li Ruru at the market early tomorrow morning, but Zhang Laizi couldn't wait that long and insisted on coming now.

Well, I got a fright from this dead dog as soon as I got here.

Zhang Laizi jumped off Granny Hua; he was no longer afraid.

Because Qiqi was chained, she was strangled halfway through her lunge.

It was tugging at the chain and howling, looking very angry.

Zhang Laizi said coldly, "Li Niangzi, this dog cannot be kept alive. If you don't kill it and eat it, I won't marry you."

Li Ruru was completely baffled. Where did this shameless guy come from?

She looked up and said, "Zhang Laizi, you're really shameless."

Zhang Laizi couldn't understand good or bad words, and laughed, "Hehe, my mother said that men with big faces are destined for great things."

"Oh? What else did your mother say?" Li Ruru asked calmly. She was in a good mood today and wasn't in a hurry to embarrass the two of them.

Zhang Laizi said, "My mother also said that tall men are good-for-nothings, while short men are the ones who can become high-ranking officials."

The tall Xiao Yishan and Chu Xiu felt offended, and Xiao Wu muttered under his breath, "Your mother really knows how to talk nonsense."

Li Ruru understood immediately; it was another mama's boy.

Sure enough, behind every overconfident man is a mother who exaggerates everything.

"Did your mother say what to do if you caused your Zhang family line to end?"

Li Ruru asked with a smile, and Zhang Laizi replied without hesitation, "I don't mind that you can't have children. I can find someone else to have them. You can help raise them after they're born."

He looked at Li Ruru smugly, as if waiting for her praise.

Li Ruru was very supportive, saying, "Wow, you're so smart."

Granny Hua was furious; that brainless idiot.

She chuckled and said, "He's talking nonsense. He wouldn't do that. You know, men love to brag."

Li Ruru ignored her words and said directly to Zhang Laizi, "I'm a jealous person and can't accept sharing a husband with another woman." Zhang Laizi got anxious and was about to argue when Li Ruru said, "Of course, if it has to be like this, I can accept it."

Zhang Laizi was overjoyed; he knew that this woman was deeply infatuated with him.

"That's right, that's how a woman should be generous."

Li Ruru forced a smile and said, "But I have conditions."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Granny Hua immediately said, "Madam Li, just name your conditions. As long as they're not too unreasonable, we'll agree to them."

Li Ruru crossed her arms and said coldly, "My condition is that the bride price must be 1000 taels."

"What?" Zhang Laizi and Granny Hua exclaimed at the same time.

"Are you crazy for money? You're so shameless!" Granny Hua's dark face grew even darker.

Li Ruru shrugged and said, "My mother said that women with big faces are lucky. It's a blessing that your Zhang family has accumulated over eight lifetimes to be able to marry me. You should be secretly happy."

Zhang Laizi was furious, but as soon as he jumped up, Qiqi rushed over.

"Ah... there's a dog..." Zhang Laizi rushed out as if he had seen a ghost.

Granny Hua glared at Qiqi, calling him a tigress who relied on his master's power.

She stormed out, and Li Ruru said to her, "Grandma Hua, remember to bring 1000 taels of silver next time you come in, or I'll unleash my dogs."

Granny Hua and Zhang Laizi fled in panic, but Da Ya was not happy at all.

"Mother, what if they come to cause trouble again?"

Er Ya laughed and said, "Big sister, they don't have money. If they did, they would have gotten married long ago. Why would they have been single for so long?"

Li Ruru nodded, "Erya is really smart, she did a good job letting the dog out. Next time they come, just let Qiqi out."

Chu Xiu saw through everything. "Madam Li, you were just teasing them, weren't you?"

Li Ruru chuckled, "You're quite clever too. Clever Young Master Chu, how many years of schooling have you had?"

Xiao Wu quickly answered, "My young master started his studies at the age of three and is very learned."

“Uh…” Chu Xiu blushed, a rare occurrence for him, and waved his hand, saying, “It’s just that I can read.”

His knowledge was nothing compared to his cousin's.

Li Ruru continued, "I bought paper and calligraphy brushes. Can you teach the three girls to read?"

Before Chu Xiu could speak, Li Ruru, fearing he might refuse, added, "If you teach them to read, I'll cook meat for you every meal, and I won't ask for the 1 tael of food money. I'll even give you an extra 5 taels of silver per month. How about that?"

She had inquired about the girls' school; a few years ago it was 3 taels a month, but now it had risen to 5 taels.

Not only is it expensive, but the main problem is that the location is remote, requires accommodation, and is under closed management, meaning you can only go home once a year.

She was a little worried about sending her child so far from home just to learn a few words.

Chu Xiu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, from now on I'll be the teacher of these girls, and they'll call me Teacher."

Upon hearing that she could study, Daya was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Hello, Master Chu!"

Er Ya and San Ya also shouted happily.

Suddenly, Xiao Yishan, who was in the corner, said, "Can I...can I learn? Master Chu...Master Chu."

Xiao Wu also raised his hand, "Young Master, I want to learn too, is that okay?"

Chu Xiu suddenly felt a respect he had never felt before, and straightened his chest and said, "It's fine, teaching one is teaching, teaching four, five, six or seven is also teaching."

Li Ruru brought out paper and pen and spread them out on a large table.

This was originally intended by Xiao Wu to be used as a dining table for Li Ruru's family, but now it's also quite good for writing.

Chu Xiu said, "Let me teach you how to write your names first. Da Ya, what's your name?"

Daya whispered, "Chen... Chen Zhaodi."

Chu Xiu frowned. What a terrible name. "You...you mind changing your name?"
