Chapter 146

When all the gifts were almost finished, Mrs. Li remembered that she didn't seem to see anything from the fourth aunt's family, and immediately asked, "What did the family next door give you?"

Mrs. Lin said, "Bring a basket of eggs and I'll send them to the kitchen."

Mrs. Li was a little surprised, "You are even willing to send eggs, go and get them for me to see, why is the sun coming out from the west?"

Mrs. Li wondered how many eggs there were in that basket. When Mrs. Lin took the basket back and lifted the flowered cloth covering the basket, Mrs. Li almost fainted. There were not even ten eggs in the basket.

Mrs. Li immediately scolded, "This one who kills a thousand knives is dead, this is also called a basket, he just wants to fish in troubled waters and come to our house to eat and drink for nothing!"

Looking at it from the side, Mrs. Jiang felt that the fourth aunt was too stingy, but she still persuaded her mother-in-law, "At least there are a few more, and our family has saved eggs these two days."

Mrs. Li was furious, "Damn me, Ba'er, a family of ten or so came to our house to eat and eat, and I will give you a few eggs! I will spare her next time!"

Prepare to give the fourth aunt and second wife a good look at the right time!

Mrs. Li scolded the fourth aunt and the second wife for a long time, finally calmed down, and picked two yuan from the common materials sent by the clan, and gave them to Jiang, "It's going to be winter soon, how many do you give?" The child cuts some winter clothes, and you make one yourself, I think you haven't made new clothes since you gave birth to Brother Kang."

Jiang accepted it with a smile, not forgetting to flatter her, "It's still my mother who loves me, and you are the only one at home who thinks about us all the time."

Mrs. Li was so happy being coaxed by Mrs. Jiang, she also had a smile on her face, she looked at Li Meier again, and said angrily: "Don't keep saying that I don't love you, if I really don't love you, I can give you some snacks, okay The material is worn, a dead girl, she just has no conscience."

"Grandmother, I know you are good to us. I will respect you well in the future. When I make a lot of money, I will buy you Guanweiju snacks and silk materials every day." Unashamedly promised.

"Hmph, I don't know if I'll live to that time." Mrs. Li snorted twice, apparently disapproving of Li Meier's words.

"Grandmother lived to be a hundred years old, she will definitely live." Li Meier continued to say good things with a smile.

Mrs. Li listened to her granddaughter's flattering words for a long time, and finally felt relieved.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the Li family are happy and harmonious, but the fourth aunt next door is a little sad. She didn't say a few words to Mrs. Zhengu today. She thinks her daughter is good in everything, but why doesn't Mrs. Zhen Seeing it, but seeing that wild girl next door with his own eyes, he was really blind.

The fourth aunt sighed, and felt that her luck had been really bad for the past two years. First, her son was unwilling to continue studying and wanted to learn crafts in a shop, and he would not listen to beatings and scolding. Then, the business of the bookstore where her husband was the shopkeeper was getting better and better. The worse it gets, the less and less oil and water he brings with him, almost only the monthly salary for the whole family to eat, drink and chew. It is really not enough, and she has already started to make up for it with dowry.

That's why when she heard that the clan had returned a nanny who had retired from the palace, she rushed to take her daughter there to make friends.That is a person who came out of the palace, not to mention the money, there must be a lot of treasures in her hands, if it can get into her eyes, even if some flow out from the cracks of her fingers, it will make their mouths full of oil.

But why can't she look down on her own daughter? The fourth aunt thought bitterly that it must be the vicious girl next door who used some shady tricks. That family is not a good person. Li Qingqing wanted to hook up with her husband back then. Or her mother-in-law has good vision and hired her for her husband, then Li Qingqing is also a shameless coquette!
"Mother...the laundry is done." Li Yuan saw her mother sitting there, gnashing her teeth, and shouted timidly at the door.

The fourth aunt was in a fit of anger at the moment, seeing her daughter didn't have a good face, and said in a bad tone: "Your father and elder brother will be back in a while, if you don't hurry up and cook, you don't have any vision at all."

Li Yuan felt aggrieved, her eyes were slightly red, but she immediately lowered her head, nodded and turned to leave.

On the way to the kitchen, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She was extremely envious of Li Meier, she was obviously a girl, and Li Meier had parents who loved her so she didn't have to work all day, but what about her?Mother and grandmother always made her do a lot of things, and would take it out on her when she was in a bad mood. Father was busy outside all day long and didn't care about her at all. She felt so pitiful and wished she hadn't been born in this family. How nice would be the daughter of Uncle Wu's family...

Li Meier didn't know that she had also become the envy of others. She was playing with the gadgets Kang Geer caught Zhou today, and Kang Geer was sleeping beside her, still holding the little seal in her hand.

Mrs. Jiang went to the kitchen to clean up, and saw this scene when she came back. She felt a little unspeakably sad. She always felt a little guilty for her daughter. When her father-in-law passed away, even if a child was born at home, she couldn't celebrate it, and her mother-in-law didn't like it. I had a daughter, and she was very indifferent to her and her daughter. She didn't even eat a few meals of meat during the confinement period, and the milk was not enough. The daughter was still thin and small at the full moon, and it was not until half a year old that she gradually became mellow.

"Mother." Seeing Jiang Shi standing at the door in a daze, Li Meier called her out.

When Jiang woke up, she looked at her daughter more and more lovingly. She went over and touched her daughter's head lightly, and asked softly: "Is there anything Mei Meier wants, mother will buy it for you."

Li Meier could hear the guilt in Jiang's words, and knew that she wanted to make up for herself, but she didn't lack anything now, so she shook her head and said, "Mother, I have everything, and I have nothing to lack."

"You have always been a sensible person." Jiang's eyes were a little moist, and she held Li Mei'er in her arms for a long time before getting up and going to the cabinet to take out a sling of money.

"I'll give you a hundred yuan to keep it for yourself, don't tell others, if you want to eat, ask Baozi to buy it for you." Mrs. Jiang gave the money to Li Mei'er, and instructed carefully.

Li Meier was overjoyed immediately, the little sadness brought up by her mother just now disappeared, and she sighed in her heart: Sure enough, money is the most healing thing no matter what time it is.

After sighing for a while, Li Meier was happy that she had her first private money again. She had already used up the New Year's money, and what Jiang Shanqing gave her was not counted. This was really her private money.She decided to save it well, it will definitely be of great use in the future.
