789 Worried About Being an Embarrassment

“Isn’t this already decided long ago? It’s good to go to the capital. Otherwise, the weather will turn too cold, and that will make the trip more difficult,” Li Gui said calmly.

“I don’t intend to just leave on my own. I want to bring all of you to the capital,” Qiao Mei said firmly.

Li Gui quickly refused. This was not something to joke about.

“Mei Mei, I know what you’re thinking, but how can you bring your mother-in-law to stay with you when you’ve just gotten married? Wouldn’t that be a joke? I heard that Xia Zhe has many siblings. It’s better not to let others gossip,” Li Gui said.

!!

“Isn’t this my first time giving birth? I’ll be scared if you’re not by my side. I’ve never given birth before and my grandfather can’t take care of everything for me. There has to be someone by my side.” Qiao Mei wheedled at Li Gui.

This actually made sense to Li Gui. When Li Gui gave birth to Qiao Mei back then, she begged Old Madam Li to come and help her. Old Madam Li did not even want to look at her. Qiao Yue’s mother had died early and there was no one around her who knew anything about giving birth. At that time, she was terrified.

She could still remember the fear she felt at that time. It was etched in her heart forever. She did not want Qiao Mei to experience what she had suffered.

“But… don’t you have Xia Zhe’s mother with you? She can take care of you too, right?” Li Gui still tried to refuse.

“She’s a leader in the art troupe, so she’s very busy and not usually at home. Also, she’s not my biological mother. You’re my biological mother, so I only trust you~ Mom~ Come along~ I’m scared if you’re not by my side~” Qiao Mei tugged at the corner of Li Gui’s clothes and said in a sweet voice.

Li Gui had no reason not to go. After all, she owed Qiao Mei too much. If she was not around for such a big event in Qiao Mei’s life, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

At that time, Old Madam Li had made her feel so dejected. She could not let Qiao Mei feel the same way, but what about the four children at home?

Li Gui turned to look at Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao. The two children immediately understood the meaning of this look. They had seen this look countless times when they were living with the Zhang family.

Every time the Zhang family members wanted to abandon them, they would look at them in this way. Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao instantly teared up. They did not dare to cry out loud and could only wipe their tears secretly.

“Why are you crying? I want to bring you too. Didn’t I say it before? You’re my darlings. Mom also won’t abandon you, do you understand?” Qiao Mei reached out and patted her two younger sisters on their heads.

The two children’s hearts were so fragile and sensitive that it might take a lifetime to allay their fears. They had suffered too much when they were living with the Zhang family.

“Mei Mei, I think this whole matter is still inappropriate. We’re all villagers. Villagers are not allowed to enter the city even if we have passes. Don’t cause trouble for the Xia family,” Li Gui said.

In those days, in order to stabilize production in the countryside, the authorities indeed did not allow people from the countryside to enter the city casually. However, that was something from many years ago. If Qiao Yu could sneak into the capital, there was no reason why they could not.

“Don’t worry, you will definitely be able to go! It’s not as difficult as you think, and there’s even no need for the Xia family to step in.” Qiao Mei patted Li Gui’s shoulder.

However, the entire family could not just stay at Qiao Mei’s house. The money Li Gui had made from selling seeds was probably only enough for the five of them to stay in the capital for half a month. Furthermore, she had never been so far away before.

What she was most afraid of was that she might cause trouble for Qiao Mei and let others gossip about her. If Qiao Mei was originally doing well but their presence ended up creating trouble for Qiao Mei, then they might as well just stay in the village.

“But… we can’t live with you either. That would be outrageous. Even if the in-laws don’t mind, the neighbors will gossip,” Li Gui said.

She had experienced such things when she was in the county city previously. She did not really care about such things and could simply live her life behind closed doors and let others say whatever they wanted. However, Xia Zhe’s family seemed to be quite reputable. If their reputation was affected because of her, would that not be embarrassing for Qiao Mei?

By then, Qiao Mei would not be able to hold her head up high at her in-laws’ house and she would not feel good either. It would be difficult for her to do anything.

“You still remember that my grandfather knows how to dig for ginseng, right? Not long ago, he sold one ginseng and earned 200,000 dollars! I’ve asked Xia Zhe’s older brother to buy a house near my house for all of you. So don’t worry,” Qiao Mei said.
