Chapter 2349: A New Building that Stands Out From the Crowd

These people did not deliberately lower their voices, and the sound was heard by Li Xiuxiu. Ye Qingqing also heard it, but she did not understand the local dialect very well and only understood it halfway.

But from the tone of these people's speech and Li Xiuxiu's suppressed anger, it can be guessed that they would not say good things and must be criticizing Li Xiuxiu.

"Just think they are talking nonsense, don't be angry!" Ye Qingqing comforted.

Li Xiuxiu nodded, pointed to the new building on the first floor in front and said, "That's my home, a brick and tile house built last year."

The Li family's two-story building is very ordinary in later generations. The exterior walls are covered with white tiles, but now it looks particularly fashionable among the low-rise adobe houses. It can be seen at a glance when entering the village, like a crane standing out from the crowd.

No wonder the villagers would step on the Li family to death when they catch a little trouble. In the final analysis, it is all because of jealousy. They are jealous of the Li family's increasingly prosperous life. The villagers who laughed at the Li family for not having a son have long lost their former pride, leaving only jealousy.

They had a son, and their life was a mess. Li Xiuxiu's family only had three daughters, but their life was getting better and better, especially the youngest daughter, who started her own company in a big city, built a new house for her family, and bought a color TV, refrigerator, and washing machine, all of which were rare things they had never seen. How could they not be jealous? Their hearts were black with jealousy.

"That house is Li Shanxing's house."

Li Xiuxiu pointed to a mud house in the lower part and said that her house was located at a higher position, and there were many other houses below. From a high position, she could see clearly that Li Shanxing's house was no different from other houses in the village. Someone was washing clothes in the yard. Ye Qingqing recognized that it was Aunt Xu, who had worked in the Sang family before.

Aunt Xu had changed a lot. When she was in the Sang family, she was full of energy, had a good complexion, and was neatly dressed. She looked very refreshed. Now her hair was messy, her face was haggard, and her clothes were not as neat and refreshing as before. At this moment, she was washing clothes in her own yard.

"Go back to your house first, and then find Li Shanxing to argue with you later." Ye Qingqing said.

Li Xiuxiu looked deeply at Li Shanxing's house and walked towards her own home. Her parents were working in the yard. Li's father was planing wood, and Li's mother was helping on the side. When she saw Li Xiuxiu, she was stunned at first, then overjoyed and stopped working.

"You came back without telling me, kid. Why did you come back without a word? Oh... there are guests..."

Li's mother's smile gradually froze after seeing Bruno. She looked at Li Xiuxiu in surprise and complained in a low voice, "Why did you bring a foreigner home?

The village was already talking about you and the foreigner. Alas... you are really ignorant."

"I am not afraid of the shadows. Let them say whatever they want. Mom and Dad, his name is Bruno. He is my boyfriend. We will get married in the future." Li Xiuxiu introduced solemnly. Bruno understood what she said and bowed deeply to Li's parents, "Dad, Mom, I am Bruno. I am very happy to see you."

Li Xiuxiu's parents looked shocked, as if they were petrified. They didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"What's going on? Xiuxiu is like a dead girl, tell me quickly." Li's mother was anxious. She didn't plan to find a foreign son-in-law. She couldn't understand what he said. What's the use of finding him?

"It's clear just now. He is your future son-in-law. This is Ye Qingqing, the granddaughter of the old lady I often told you about."

Li Xiuxiu's parents immediately squeezed out a warm smile and were very polite to Ye Qingqing.

"Bruno, is it really you? Are you here to see me?" A surprised cry came from a distance. It was Li Shanxing, who looked haggard. Seeing Bruno was like seeing her husband who had been away for a long time.
