Chapter 462 - 313 Picking Fruit
With such displeasing incidents occurring among the children at home, Mrs. Li had no time to attend to them, having been assigned by her father-in-law to the neighboring room.
As the only daughter-in-law in this family, Mrs. Li found herself in a tough spot, with her father-in-law taking a concubine and her mother-in-law constantly stirring up trouble.
There were things one could do to guard against the deceit and substitution by her in-laws, which meant not entrusting her husband with those tasks.
As the hour before noon approached, an auspicious time, an ox-cart adorned with large red flowers arrived at the Ye Family’s door, carrying the matchmaker and bringing the new bride.
Sitting atop the ox-cart as the driver, of course, was Mrs. Li’s eldest brother.
The bride awaiting her groom on the ox-cart secretly lifted her veil to see the Ye family’s large house; she had long heard that the Ye family built a grand house after becoming wealthy.
She had not expected that today she would enter through this door and henceforth become the lady of this large house.
The bride overlooked the big house and the small neighboring house, which she assumed belonged to neighbors; although this smaller house seemed newer than her family’s, it was somewhat smaller.
Little did she know that this new house was hastily constructed by the Ye Family in the past few days following her successful scheme.
In recent days, her family had been busily plotting, and she herself had been quite occupied too; her bridal clothes and cotton quilts had all been made with the help of her family during this period.
