Chapter 120

In June, Mrs. Jiang became more and more busy, and sometimes she would hand Brother Kang over to Mrs. Li to watch over her. If Li Meier wanted to see her younger brother, she would always come to Mrs. Li's place.

One day Li Mei'er was drinking mung bean soup at Mrs. Li's place, when Chuan'er outside came in and said that a woman in charge had brought a cart full of things.

After hearing this, Li Mei'er felt very strange, and asked, "Why is someone sending something to our family right now? Could it be a birthday gift for grandma?"

Which family has such a big hand, and the gifts are all delivered by car. Does her family know such a rich person?

"Did anyone tell me which family it is from?" Mrs. Li also felt strange, so she asked.

"It is said that they are from the state capital, a family surnamed Zhuang." Chuan'er immediately replied.

When Mrs. Li heard that her surname was Zhuang, her face immediately changed, and she remained silent.

When Li Mei'er heard Chuan'er said that the surname was Zhuang, she guessed who it was, no wonder Li's old lady's face was ugly, she really had some trouble with the gift giver.

"Ma'am, this person has already arrived at the door, so we can't lose our courtesy, let's invite him in first." Mrs. Lin obviously knew the inside story, and although she saw Li Laoniang's face was ugly, she still persuaded her from the sidelines.

Mrs. Li snorted, and said sullenly: "She actually sent someone to give me a gift, hum! A weasel has no good intentions to give a chicken a New Year greeting!"

After hearing this, Li Mei'er couldn't help but said: "Grandma, it's fine if you scold others, why are you scolding yourself? If you are a chicken, then my father, me, and Brother Kang will all become chickens." cub."

Mrs. Li was already angry. When Li Meier said this, she fell down with anger and scolded unceremoniously: "Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just using an analogy, why did you call it a The whole family is full of chickens, and a dead girl deserves a beating."

Li Mei'er has long been used to being scolded by Mrs. Li, she is not afraid at all, she still said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't beat me up, tell me, who is the person who gave you the gift?"

Mrs. Li snorted again and didn't speak, but Mrs. Lin was already on the other side of the boat and ordered: "You first ask the person to sit and drink tea in the porter's room, and say that the wife is busy now, and I will see her after I finish my work in a while."

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't object, Chuan'er responded and went out to receive the guests.

"What does she do? According to my opinion, she should be driven away directly." Mrs. Li said displeasedly, still with a dark face.

"Ma'am, it's been so many years. After all, the aunt is the master's sister. Now that the master has gone, our family is only such a serious relative. It is impossible for you not to associate with her for the rest of your life. What happened back then Auntie is also involuntary." Granny Lin persuaded softly from the side.

Mrs. Li didn't say a word, apparently that incident was not so easy to let go of in her heart.

Li Meier has been listening with her ears pricked up. She knows that her great-aunt is the only younger sister of her late grandfather. It is said that her great-grandparents loved this youngest daughter very much and made great efforts to marry her to a wealthy man in the state capital. He even married half of the family's wealth as a dowry, which made Mrs. Li, who had not been married to the Li family for a long time, very dissatisfied.

But if it was just like this, Mrs. Li would not have such a big resentment towards this aunt. Li Meier is not too clear about the other secrets. She asked her father about it later, but his father didn't care about it. Not very clear, it seems that my aunt knew it, but my aunt was still very young at the time, so I didn't remember it very clearly.

Now that she has the opportunity to know some inside stories about that year, Li Meier is naturally very careful.

"Anyway, I'm not happy to see their family members, so let Mei'er's mother go." Mrs. Li said in a muffled voice, still with a straight face.

"I'll go tell my mother." Li Meier immediately volunteered.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Li to object, she ran out.

"Damn girl, why are you gossiping like this, and I don't know who you followed." Seeing that Li Meier's small figure disappeared all of a sudden, Mrs. Li couldn't help but curse again.

Mrs. Lin on the side wanted to laugh a little, thinking to herself, isn't this all following your old man.

Li Meier trotted to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang was discussing the menu of the birthday banquet with Mrs. Qiu at the moment. fell."

Although Li Mei'er was fat, she was very flexible in her movements. With three or two moves, she bypassed an obstacle and came to Jiang Shi's side.He was barely breathing, so he said, "Mother, some relatives in our family came to give grandma a birthday gift. According to Nanny Lin, it seems to be our aunt."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, but before realizing who her aunt was, Sister-in-Law Qiu asked first, "Grandma, but is the master's younger sister, our aunt?"

Only then did Jiang suddenly realize that she was the aunt of the husband, but didn't you hear that this aunt hadn't been with her family for many years? According to the husband, it seemed that she had some quarrel with her mother-in-law when she was young, and she also sent gifts over later. , wanted to ease the relationship with his family, but was returned by her mother-in-law.

"Did the aunt come in person?" Jiang asked.

Li Mei'er shook her head, "No, it seems that a nanny in charge was sent here, but grandma doesn't want to see her, so I ask mother to receive her."

Jiang Shi nodded, she also knew her mother-in-law's temperament, as long as she didn't like to see someone, she would definitely not look good.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Qiu explained a few words, and then planned to meet the person sent by the aunt.

Li Meier naturally followed, wanting to go with her mother to see the situation.

"What are you doing here, go back to your grandmother." Jiang Shi didn't want her daughter to get involved in this matter, so she turned her head and said to her.

"Grandmother is angry right now. I promise she won't look good when I go. I'll follow mother." Li Meier said shyly.

"Then be good, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Shi was afraid that Li Mei'er would be rude in front of the guests, so she immediately warned.

"Don't worry, mother, I promise I won't say a word." Li Meier quickly raised her chubby hand to promise.

When Mrs. Jiang arrived at the concierge, the nanny in charge had almost finished a pot of tea, and she was getting impatient. When she saw Mrs. Jiang bringing Li Meier in, she immediately got up and saluted, "This is the eldest grandma." Alright, this old slave greets you."

Mrs. Jiang quickly went up to help her together, and said politely: "You don't need to be too polite, I don't know what to call this mother?"

"The old slave's surname is Chen, and my wife sent her to give your old lady a birthday present." The mother surnamed Chen still replied respectfully.

Although Mrs. Jiang already knew that the person who came was an aunt, she still didn't know it on the face, and asked: "Your wife is..."
