Chapter 207
"Father, you must be careful, we are waiting for you and mother to go home." Li Meier said with red eyes. Although she also wanted to follow her father to pick up her mother, she knew that going with her would only make her feel bad. Xin, just told her father to be careful.

"Don't worry, when you go back to sleep, your parents will come back when you wake up." Li Yan smiled, tried to comfort his daughter, and then said to Jiang Shanqing who was beside him: "Take care of my sister."

Jiang Shanqing nodded heavily, with a solemn expression.Li Meier waved her hands tearfully and watched his father and all the clansmen leave.

"Go back." Jiang Shanqing pulled Li Meier and walked home.

When the two returned home, Mrs. Li was a little surprised to see that only the two of them had returned.

"Why are there only you two, where is your mother?" Mrs. Li frowned and asked, thinking that Mrs. Jiang was too careless, how could she let the two children come back by themselves.

"Mother said that she needed to discuss something with Uncle Xin, so she sent the two of us home first and then went to his house." Li Meier said with a forced smile, trying not to let Mrs. Li see the flaws.

"Don't be so anxious to talk about things. You don't even go home. Now it's time for dinner. You can go there after dinner. If you go to someone's house right now, people think you are going to eat on purpose. What about..." Mrs. Li muttered and reproached, obviously feeling that the daughter-in-law did things without rules.

"Grandmother, I'm hungry. When are we going to have dinner?" Li Meier quickly changed the subject because she was afraid that Mrs. Li would continue to ask.

"Alin went to the market this morning and bought an old hen. The old hen stewed the soup slowly over a low fire. It will take a while. If you are hungry, the chef made Double Ninth Cake in the morning. You can eat it for two hours first." A piece." Mrs. Li hugged Kang Geer and asked Mrs. Lin to go to the kitchen to bring Double Ninth Cake.

Li Meier usually likes snacks the most, but today she took the Double Ninth Cake but didn't eat for a long time, just stared at the cake in a daze.

"What's the matter, there are flowers on that cake, look at it for a long time?" Mrs. Li asked strangely when she noticed Li Meier's strangeness.

Li Meier came to her senses and quickly took a bite of the pastry, but felt that the sweet and sweet snacks on weekdays suddenly lost their taste today.

Looking at Li Meier's appearance, Mrs. Li thought that the Double Ninth Cake was not made well, so she picked up a piece and took a bite. It was fragrant and glutinous, and the bean paste inside was also sweet. It was obviously the girl's favorite taste, so she couldn't help it. I kept nagging, "Damn girl, didn't you say that you are hungry? You are not hungry when you look like this. I think your mouth is getting more and more tricky. You can't get used to the snacks made at home. You think about things outside every day. Desserts, where does my mother have so much money to buy dim sums for you, a girl?"

Li Mei'er could only continue to force her smile, and said awkwardly: "Grandmother can see this, you are really sharp-eyed. I heard that Guanweiju has a new red bean cake, which is delicious."

"I know I want something to eat all day long, and if I want it, let your mother buy it." Mrs. Li scolded bluntly, and then asked, "Do you still eat cakes? If you don't eat them, I will put them away to save waste .”

Li Meier hurriedly finished the half of the Double Ninth Cake in her hand, then pulled Jiang Shanqing to run outside, "Grandma, brother Shanqing and I went out to play." She was afraid that if it was later, she would not be able to hold back her tears.

"Slow down, we'll have dinner in a while, don't run too far." Mrs. Li shouted at the backs of the two of them.

Brother Kang writhed in Mrs. Li's arms, and wanted to go out to play with his brothers and sisters, after all, it was rare for them to rest at home.

"Brother Kang, be good, let's eat cakes with grandma, shall we not go out and play around with your sister." Mrs. Li took another half of Double Ninth Cake and coaxed her little grandson.

Brother Kang still couldn't resist the temptation of the pastry, so he took it and nodded. On weekdays, when his mother was at home, he was not allowed to eat more pastries, for fear that he would damage his teeth.

"Grandmother, I want to eat the red bean cake that my sister said." Kang Geer finished eating the dim sum, licked the broken dim sum on his mouth, and said to Mrs. Li with unfinished thoughts.

"Buy it. Grandmother will ask Granny Lin to buy it tomorrow. Brother Kang wants to eat it, so of course we want to buy it." Mrs. Li agreed with a smile.Her old man is so down-to-earth, even partiality is down-to-earth.

Over there, Li Meier pulled Jiang Shanqing out of the house, sat down beside the stone pier at the door, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbed and said to herself: "I don't know if Dad is in the workshop now..."

"Uncle brought so many people there, it must be fine, don't cry." Jiang Shanqing patted Li Mei'er's shoulder lightly, comforting her rare and tenderly.

"I also... don't want to cry, just... I can't help it..." Li Meier couldn't help but shed tears again as she spoke.

Jiang Shanqing sighed helplessly, took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Meier's tears, and comforted Li Meier a little clumsily: "How old are you, you still cry, you really think you are seven or eight years old, you are already in your twenties .”

Li Meier's emotions became incoherent when he was angered by his words. Is this comforting?

Li Meier angrily snatched the handkerchief, wiped it on her face casually, and blew her nose by the way, before returning the handkerchief to Jiang Shanqing, "Then, your handkerchief."

Jiang Shanqing looked at the handkerchief with disgust, but naturally he didn't pick it up.Li Meier didn't mind either, she naturally put the handkerchief into her bosom, planning to return it to Jiang Shanqing after washing it.

"Is it not uncomfortable now? Go back if you don't feel uncomfortable, or grandma will curse again later." Jiang Shanqing pulled Li Meier to stand up and asked.

Li Mei'er nodded. After crying, she didn't feel so uncomfortable. Although she was still worried, it was better than keeping it in her heart like before.

On Li Meier's side, she was worried about her parents, but on Jiang's side, the situation was indeed not optimistic.

Liu Laosan saw that Jiang's group had been hiding in the workshop and couldn't come out, so he wanted to smash the door. They didn't smash the door of the workshop either. The door was not easy to smash, and it was too conspicuous. , and go in from there.

Inside the workshop, Jiang Xu and several masters had already firmly blocked the two doors with furniture and heavy objects, but this was only able to block them for a while. Everyone's hearts sank bit by bit.

"Sister, if they really break down the door in a while, we will protect you, and you can run out while you are in trouble." Jiang Xu's face was ugly, and Jiang Shi warned.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, and said: "There are so many of them, and they are coming for me, they will definitely not let me escape easily, if they really break in later, don't panic, I will follow them Tan, these people are just trying to extort money."
