Chapter 194
"By the way, isn't that big girl engaged yet?" Mrs. Li is also a gossiper, because the family usually buys meat at Zhang's house, so she has eaten a lot of melons from this family, and she knows that this big girl Ya's marriage is a big problem for his family, so he asked Li Meier curiously.

"No!" Li Meier replied with a smile. She had almost eaten at the moment, so she put down her chopsticks and gossiped with Mrs. Li, "I heard from Aunt Yiyi that her mother-in-law found her another house a while ago. Although the family background is not as good, but the son of that family has good carpentry skills, as long as he lives a good life, he will be able to prosper in the future, but the big girl disagrees with life and death, crying, making troubles and hanged herself at home, even going on hunger strike , made my cousin's mother-in-law so angry that she became ill."

"What a crime!" Mrs. Li couldn't help sighing, "It's hard for this Qian family to have such a stepdaughter. According to me, she should be an old lady for the rest of her life. No matter which family she marries into, such a person , that’s all evil.”

Li Mei'er listened to Mrs. Li's words, and suddenly showed some strange expressions on her face, because she knew that this big girl Zhang would not be an old girl forever, and in a few years, she should marry someone, who was still very close to their family Relatives.

But at this moment, Li Mei'er would definitely not tell Mrs. Li about this, let alone that she couldn't explain the unpredictable things, even the fragile heart of her grandmother couldn't stand it.

Li Meier and Mrs. Li gossiped for a while, and before they knew it, it was Xu time.

Jiang Shi and Li Yan were almost sober, so they went to Mrs. Li's room together.

Brother Kang was so happy to see his parents, he immediately got down from Mrs. Li's arms, threw herself into Mrs. Jiang's arms, and said aggrievedly on her body; "Mother, mother, why did you come back~~"

When Jiang and his wife came back in the afternoon, Brother Kang was taking a nap. When he woke up, Mrs. Li was afraid that he would disturb her son and daughter-in-law's rest, so she lied to him that his parents hadn't come back yet, so he thought they had been out all day.

Jiang hugged her son, kissed his soft and chubby face, and asked with a smile: "Brother Kang, is he good today? Did you listen to grandma?"

"I'm so good today, I even ate vegetables." Brother Kang proudly replied with his small chest.

Like many children, Brother Kang didn't like to eat green vegetables since he was a child. Mrs. Jiang tried her best to make him eat more vegetables, but this little guy is also a thief, and he ate it in front of Mrs. Jiang Well, I vomited it when I turned my head, and I even knew that I vomited it in the mud of the flowerpot, saying that I buried it in the soil so that adults would not find it.

"Really, my brother Kang has really grown up, and I have to eat more vegetables in the future, so that I can look better and better. Look at your sister and brother Shanqing, they love to eat vegetables since childhood, so they look like this Alright." Jiang looked at her son and said with relief.

Brother Kang showed a puzzled look on his face. He glanced at his sister and said, "But my sister said that when she was a child, she was a grandmother and she was not allowed to eat meat!"

When Mrs. Li heard Kang Geer's words, she immediately exploded, glaring at Li Meier and said angrily: "Stinky girl, what are you doing behind my back?"

Li Meier immediately pretended to be innocent, denying San Lian, "I didn't, how could it be possible, Kang Geer was talking nonsense." Then he desperately winked at Kang Geer.

Brother Kang was still in a daze, betraying his sister's self-consciousness at all, but also knew that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he lowered his head and played with his little hands.

Fearing that her mother-in-law would start a fight with her daughter again, Mrs. Jiang quickly changed the subject and said, "Our talk with cousin Xin went well today. Cousin Xin has already agreed to our conditions, and he should send a book contract tomorrow. come over."

"Really! That's great!" Li Meier cried out happily when she heard that the cooperation was concluded, and looked at Jiang Shanqing happily, but found that he was still as calm as ever.

Li Mei'er could only sigh secretly for his good concentration, then she shifted her focus to another matter, she took Jiang's arm and asked, "Mother, since we have already decided to cooperate with Uncle Xin's family, Then should we go to the state capital to inspect his family's bookstore?"

Mrs. Jiang knew Li Mei'er so well, she immediately saw through her little thoughts, pinched her nose and said, "It's you who want to go to the state capital to play."

However, Li Mei'er did not show any embarrassment at all, she still shook Jiang's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, you have sharp eyes, you can see it all."

Li Yan looked at his daughter with a smile on the side, and said dotingly: "It's normal for Mei Meier to want to go to the state capital to play. She grows up so big, the farthest she's ever been to is Meilong Village."

Mrs. Li didn't want Li Mei'er to go to the state capital at all, so she said with a straight face: "What are you going to do, there are so many things to do, do you know how much it costs to go to the state capital? When you get there, you don’t need to spend money on food and lodging.”

"Grandmother, according to what you said, if you are afraid of spending money when you go out, then everyone should stay in one place for the rest of your life. Aunt Zhen said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I haven't planned to travel thousands of miles yet." Well, even going to Yin County, which is more than a hundred miles away, is your boss's opinion, if our father becomes an official in the future, if he really wants to go thousands of miles away, will you stop him from going?" Li Meier talked about the truth It's all a set of things here, and now I have read some books, Mrs. Li can't say enough about her.

"Girls will talk nonsense, can this be the same? You go to the state capital just to have fun, and your father's official position is two different things." Mrs. Li's thinking was still quite clear, and she immediately refuted Li Mei'er.

"Grandmother, it's almost the same. I'm also preparing for the future. I'll see the market more. If I really go out in the future, I won't be treated like a bumpkin." Li Meier changed her smiling face again, and softly coaxed Mrs. Li .

Mrs. Li stopped talking. Although she felt that what Li Meier said was reasonable, she still couldn't bear to part with the money. Although the family is now a lot richer, as long as she thinks of the hard days she lived before, she can't help but want Saving and saving, saving money to buy land is the foundation of building a family.

"Okay, Mei Meier, don't bother your grandmother. We will talk about going to the state capital later. Before that, we need to buy a printing workshop to print this "Journey to the West" as soon as possible. First, we will have books. Only then can we talk about the rest of the matter." Mrs. Jiang pulled Li Meier to sit beside her, interrupting her argument with Mrs. Li.

Although Li Mei'er was still a little disappointed, she also knew that the business was important, so she nodded obediently and didn't talk about going to the state capital anymore.
