Chapter 16 The Goddaughter
"Business? Do you still know how to do business?" Jiang Shanqing looked at Li Meier suspiciously, obviously not believing her.

Li Meier was a little unhappy, feeling that she was underestimated, "How would you know if you haven't tried it, I also helped my mother manage the shop in my previous life, so I learned everything I need to learn, and it's not too difficult."

"What kind of shop did your mother open before?" Jiang Shanqing seemed to be interested and asked.

"A makeup shop, my mother said that women earn the most money, so she opened this shop." Li Meier replied quite proudly.

Jiang Shanqing nodded, and said in agreement: "Women and children's money is indeed the best money." He quickly changed the subject again, "However, the profit of cosmetics is still too small."

"Then what do you think is the most profitable?" Li Meier asked a little unconvinced.

"Let's talk about it later, anyway, it's impossible to do anything now." Looking at his small body, Jiang Shanqing suddenly became a little depressed, and said without interest.

Li Meier didn't continue to ask any more questions, she always felt that Jiang Shanqing was talking big.

The two were talking, when there was a slight movement from the inner room, Li Meier knew that Jiang Shi had woken up, so she trotted into the inner room immediately.

"Mother, you're awake, I'll pour you water." Li Meier saw Jiang Shi reclining on the couch, and quickly went to the table to pour water for her. There was no maid in their room, so no matter what they did on weekdays, they had to come by themselves.

Seeing that Li Meier, who was not even as high as the table, was struggling to pour water for her, Jiang was very moved and got off the bed quickly.

"Okay, mother knows you are filial, sit down quickly, mother can come by herself."

Li Mei'er has poured the water now, handed it to her mother and said: "Mother gave me a baby brother, don't work too hard, let Mei'er help you if there is anything mother has to do."

Looking at her well-behaved and sensible daughter, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help her nose sore, hugged her in her arms and said, "My Mei Meier has grown up and knows how to love my mother. Don't worry, Mei Meier, what mother loves the most will always be My Meme."

Li Meier snuggled into Jiang Shi's arms, knowing that Jiang Shi didn't say this to coax her, because even though her mother gave birth to three younger brothers, she was still the daughter who loved her the most.

"Mother, my aunt has brought her cousins ​​over." Li Meier said with a guilty conscience when she thought about how she contradicted Mrs. Li just now.

"When did it happen?" Jiang let go of Li Meier, looked at her and asked.

"Not long after lunch..." Li Meier replied in a low voice, playing with the hem of her clothes.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Jiang knew something must have happened, so she asked helplessly, "Did you get into trouble again?"

"It's really not my fault this time..." Li Meier muttered dejectedly, and told Jiang Shi what happened just now.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang sighed helplessly.He stretched out his hand and tapped lightly between Li Mei'er's eyebrows, "You girl, why have you become more eccentric as you get older, and you have learned to contradict your elders, I don't remember teaching you like this."

Li Meier stretched out her hand to touch her eyebrows, and replied with some grievances: "Who told grandma to be so biased, it's obviously not the fault of brother Shanqing and me."

"Your grandmother is eccentric, and it's not the first day you know about it. Just ignore her, and you shouldn't contradict her face to face." Jiang continued to teach.

"I'm not too angry..." Li Meier pursed her lips, her expression becoming more and more aggrieved.

"Okay, mother knows that you are wronged, but your grandmother... I'm afraid I can't change it for a while, we can only take it slowly, maybe it will be fine after a long time." Jiang hugged Li Meier and said softly Consolation said.

Li Meier nodded and said nothing more.

"Then why don't you go with your mother to grandma's place and apologize to her, okay?" Seeing that Li Meier's mood had stabilized, Jiang asked tentatively.

Although Li Meier was still a little reluctant in her heart, she didn't want Jiang to make it difficult, so she nodded obediently.

Mrs. Jiang led Li Mei'er to Mrs. Li's room. Mrs. Li was still talking to Li Qingqing at this moment. When she saw their mother and daughter coming over, she immediately pulled her face, obviously not calmed down.

"Mother, I heard from Meier that her aunt is here, so I brought her here right away." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile to Mrs. Li.

"En." Mrs. Li replied with a solemn face, and glanced at Li Mei'er who was silent with her head down, thinking, this girl is looking for her mother to help her.

"Brother and sister, I heard that you are pregnant, so I came here immediately. You are at a critical time right now, and you should take a good rest."

When Li Qingqing saw Jiang Shi, she was very enthusiastic, got up and pulled her, and sat down on the chair.

Jiang smiled a little embarrassedly, "My pregnancy looks pretty good this time. It's not like when I was pregnant with Meier, I always vomited and couldn't eat, but I was always sleepy."

"I was always sleepy when I was pregnant with brother Qi. It seems that your baby is probably a boy." Li Qingqing echoed with a smile.

"That must be the boy, don't worry, the girl has a lot of things to do." Mrs. Li interjected and glanced at Li Mei'er after speaking.

Li Meier was angry in her heart, but she still gave her mother face and didn't have the same knowledge as Li's old lady.

"Mother, you can't say that. Girls are precious, so naturally they have to spend more time than boys." Seeing that her mother was starting to be unreliable again, Li Qingqing quickly helped her smooth things over.

"Mother, just now Mei'er contradicted you, I specially brought her here to apologize to you." Mrs. Jiang stood up again, and pulled Li Mei'er in front of Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li hummed lightly, curled her lips and said, "No need, my old man can't stand it!"

Jiang Shi was not embarrassed, she still smiled and said: "You are her grandmother, so you can afford it." After speaking, she gave Li Meier a gentle push.

Li Meier could only reluctantly say: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I shouldn't contradict you..."

"Mei Meier, your grandmother has forgiven you a long time ago, she is an elder, how could she be really angry with you." Li Qingqing was afraid that her mother would be confused again, so she got up and said to Li Meier.

Mrs. Li didn't speak, thinking that she would let the girl's film go this time, and if she did it again next time, she must teach her a lesson.

Li Qingqing pulled Li Meier to sit down on a chair, and brought her another fruit by the way.

Jiang was relieved at this moment, and asked again: "Sister, Brother Qi and Brother Yong came with you, why didn't you see them?
"The two Tao boys, they ran outside again, and they couldn't sit still for a moment." Li Qingqing said helplessly, shaking his head.

"It's rare for them to come back, and they will go to my place later. I went back to my mother's house a few days ago and brought some fashionable materials, which happened to make summer clothes for each of them." Jiang said with a gentle smile.
