MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 14 Who doesn’t have a few troublesome relatives?

 She quickly pointed to the two puppies on the pier, teasing her granddaughter with a smile.

“Fu Niu’er, when we settle down and have a home, grandma will also raise a puppy for you, okay?”

Jiayin stopped thinking and quickly changed her face to a smiling face, babbling and babbling to make her grandma happy. She was so affectionate that Mrs. Li drooled all over her face.

Mrs. Li was so amused by her that when her grandfather and grandson were playing around, Wu Cuihua pulled Wu Er and ran onto the boat crying.

"Mom! Do you see who I found?" Wu Cuihua pushed Wu Er to Mrs. Li.

Old Mrs. Li had good eyesight and recognized Wu Er at a glance, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

“Mom, it’s me, Wu Er, woo hoo, I’ve found my relative.”

Wu Er pretended to wipe his tears, but secretly looked at Mrs. Li.

Seeing that she was also cleanly dressed and holding a fat, white baby in her arms, he became more and more convinced that the Li family had made a fortune, and he would rely on the Li family no matter what.

 “What a coincidence, I met you here.”

Mrs. Li's tone was cold. She had been an in-law for more than ten years and she didn't have any good impressions of the Wu family.

Wu Cuihua was not stupid. Seeing her mother-in-law acting like this, she knew that her brother would not welcome her, so she just went out of her way, knelt down and hugged the old lady's legs.

"Mom, my father has been beaten to death by bandits who robbed food. My brother was begging for food at the dock and was kicked to death just now. Oh, mother, please keep my brother, this is the only relative I have left! "

Jiayin was nestled in the crook of Mrs. Li's neck. She turned to look at Wu Er and lay down in disgust.

  She knew intuitively that this was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it would be a disaster if it was left behind.

 But she couldn't speak, so she could only chirp to vent her displeasure.

"The relative died?" Old Mrs. Li frowned. After all, she was a member of the same generation. When she heard the news of the death, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Wu Cuihua nodded, crying until she had runny nose and tears.

“Mom, let’s take my brother with us. The Sun family’s ship is so big that he is not missing.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? If a ship is big, it must carry more people. There are so many ships on the pier. Do you think any of them are taking the victims on board?”

Old Mrs. Li didn't like Wu Cuihua's natural tone, so she scolded her severely.

“Mom, our old Wu family is such a weakling, you can’t just die without saving it! Go help me and plead with Mrs. Sun, didn’t our Fu Niuer just save Miss Sun’s family..."

“Shut up!” Mrs. Li became even more angry when she saw that Wu Cuihua was becoming more and more outspoken and even wanted to repay her kindness.

Wu Cuihua didn't care about this, and shouted louder and louder, attracting several boatmen to watch, and Mrs. Li's face became even more angry.

 Fortunately, Li Laoer chased her back and covered Wu Cuihua's mouth.

“Mom, making such a fuss is not an option. It’s better to help and beg for mercy. In the worst case, they will be kicked out when we get to Kyoto.”

 When her son spoke, Mrs. Li couldn't ignore it.

 Besides, without Wu Er, Wu Cuihua could really make a scene and everyone in the dock would come to see the joke.

“Let him go down first and wait at the shore while I go and ask.”

Old Mrs. Li had a dark face, hugged the good news and went to see Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun happened to have nothing to do, so she didn't refuse after hearing Mrs. Li explain the whole story.

“Everyone’s family has troubles, so I can take one more person with me if I want, just don’t cause any trouble on the ship.”

"Don't worry, Madam, I will ask my family to keep an eye on him at all times and not allow him to leave the cabin. If he behaves a little bit, I will throw him into the river without Madam saying anything."

Mrs. Li said firmly, which made Mrs. Sun laugh. "It doesn't have to be like this. It's like chasing people away at the dock."

“Madam, if you are kind-hearted, you will definitely be rewarded with good things.”

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Li put down the good news, coaxed Miss Sun to play, and then hurried to deal with Wu Er. Li Laosi carried a few buckets of water, Wu Cuihua helped Wu Er wash up and change into a set of clean clothes, and Tao Hongying helped cook a large bowl of porridge.

Wu Er had eaten and drank enough, and as expected he was going to wander around on the boat.

 As a result, he was locked directly in the cabin and was not allowed to take a step out.

Orange Mrs. Li teased Wu Cuihua so that the two siblings could hear clearly.

"We have a few days to go to Kyoto. If Wu Er dares to cause trouble and embarrass our family, I will directly ask the fourth child to throw you two siblings into the river! If you have the guts, try it!"

She glared at Wu Cuihua fiercely, "Rather than letting you be embarrassed and cause trouble, which will cause our Li family to be kicked off the boat, it is better to drown you two troublemakers first!"

Wu Cuihua shrank her neck in fear, and Wu Er'er finally calmed down.

In just an hour, the Sun family's ship set sail again.

Two or three days passed in a flash, and Wu Er was occasionally allowed to walk on the deck by virtue of his convenience.

 He was jealous, seeing the wealth of the Sun family, and wanted to think of some bad ideas.

 But Mrs. Li made arrangements for her family to be happy and in peace, and she followed him all the time.

 He has bad intentions and has no chance.

In this way, it was a smooth journey. As everyone was looking forward to it day and night, the big ship finally arrived in Kyoto.

 Kyoto Pier is larger than any other pier we have docked before. There is no war or disaster victims here.

 Although the people coming and going are not in fine clothes, their living standards are obviously much better than those at Minnanling Pier.

Jiayin was hugged by Mrs. Li, and when she came out of the cabin, she looked up and saw such a prosperous scene.

 But she was not as excited as the Li family, and instead sighed secretly.

Such prosperity probably only exists in Kyoto. In a land of famine and war, there are people dying of hunger and mourning everywhere, but under the feet of the rulers, there is peace and prosperity.

Isn't this, in another sense, a wealthy family that smells of wine and meat, and is frozen to death on the road?

 “Fu Niu’er, we’ve arrived in Kyoto!”

Mrs. Li was very excited and hugged her little granddaughter, "We don't have to be afraid of barbarians anymore!"

Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying also had red eyes and reached out to touch Jiayin's little face.

“We Fu Niu’er are lucky. We don’t have to worry about anything when we live here in Kyoto from now on.”

Jiayin spat out a spit bubble in response, which made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh again.

"Mom, everything is packed. Go and tell Mrs. Sun that we should get off the boat quickly?" Li Lao Er and his two brothers came to Mrs. Li carrying large and small packages.

Old Mrs. Li responded, hugged the good news and went to Mrs. Sun's room.

Mrs. Sun was feeding her daughter milk when she saw Mrs. Li coming in and asked her to sit down.

"Madam, I really appreciate your care during these days. Now that we have arrived in Kyoto, it is no longer convenient for our whole family to disturb us. The ship will dock soon and we will leave."

Mrs. Li was very grateful and thanked her sincerely.

Mrs. Sun was a little reluctant and asked subconsciously, "Are you leaving now?"

Turning around, she took Old Mrs. Li's hand, sincerely trying to keep her.

"Aunt Li, your family escaped from famine and came to Kyoto with no one to rely on. Why don't you stay with our Sun family? I can't say that I will protect you all your life, but at least you can have enough food and clothing."

Mrs. Sun said it straightforwardly and with good intentions.

But Mrs. Li immediately shook her head, because if they stayed in the Sun family, they could only be slaves and be inferior to others for the rest of their lives.

 In the future, children and grandchildren will be affected in their studies and scientific examinations.
