Chapter 72
"You also know about this?" Mrs. Li didn't expect her daughter to know about it, so she asked back aloud.

"My mother-in-law's family is also in business, and I have heard some rumors. Moreover, Zhangshui Town is so big, and the Zhou family is not a small family, so I can't hide it even if I want to." Li Qingqing glanced at Jiang's at the side, and then opened his mouth. Said.

"Then do you think the Zhou family can survive this time?" Mrs. Li thought that her daughter might know more than them, so she asked very gossip.

"Xuan, the Zhou family should have followed someone else's path this time. Whether they can make it through depends on their luck." Li Qingqing sighed, somewhat sympathetic in his words.

Jiang kept her head down, and she didn't speak again when Li Qingqing mentioned the Zhou family.

Li Qingqing glanced at Jiang Shi again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sister and brother, I also want to ask you today, what is your family's plan? Is the marriage with the Zhou family countable?"

Mrs. Li also looked at Mrs. Jiang when she heard the words. She actually wanted to ask yesterday, but she didn't find a chance. Now that her daughter asked, she also pricked up her ears to listen.

Jiang raised her head, her expression remained unchanged, and she replied with a smile: "Thank you sister for your concern, this marriage... what my parents mean is that it will not change for the time being."

Hearing this, Li Qingqing nodded lightly, "I think it's the same. Your family has always kept promises. This marriage is settled, so it shouldn't be changed easily."

"The younger sister of the Zhou family is a good girl. She married a wife and a virtuous person. My parents mainly liked her." Jiang Shi added another sentence, as if to explain that his family's marriage with the Zhou family was not due to his family. wealth.

Li Qingqing agreed with Jiang's words very much, nodded and said in agreement: "Miss Zhou's family has helped our family a lot this time, I thought, if I can help a little, my husband has a good friend who runs a north-south goods store He can get some raw silk there, although I don’t know the quantity, but it should be able to help the Zhou family.”

Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised when she heard the words, she didn't expect Li Qingqing to send charcoal at this time, so she was very grateful in her words, "Then I will thank my sister on behalf of my sister Zhou."

"You're welcome, are we all a family? I'll give you the address of that man's shop in the county seat later, and you can let the Zhou family look for it." Li Qingqing waved his hand, as if he didn't need to take it to heart.

"If the Zhou family can tide over the difficulties this time, our family can be considered to have contributed. I wonder if there will be some discounts when I go to his house to buy clothing materials in the future." Mrs. Li's focus is always different from that of others. I'm thinking of Zhou's material.

Li Qingqing was speechless, her old mother really didn't waste any chance to take advantage, thinking that every time she went to her in-law's store to buy oil at a discount, she felt very ashamed.

"Sister, count the days, you should start next month, right?" Jiang Shi didn't want to continue the Zhou family's topic, so she changed the topic calmly and asked.

Li Qingqing looked down at her belly, smiled softly, nodded and replied: "The doctor calculated the time, it will be around the end of next month, I hope she will come out a few days earlier, and don't make me wait like her two brothers. .”

When Li Qingqing gave birth to Dong Qi and Dong Yong, it was several days after the due date.

"I heard that giving birth to a daughter will start early. When I gave birth to Mei Meier, it was three days early." Jiang said with a smile.

"Then I have to prepare earlier, so as not to start before I'm ready, and make a mess." Li Qingqing also covered her lips and smiled.

"Will you invite Mrs. Wen?" Mrs. Li also asked with concern.

"I have already invited, that is Liu Wen who delivered Brother Qi and Brother Yong. She is a good craftsman, so I still invited her."

"Liu Wen's workmanship is really good. When I gave birth to Mei Meier, I wanted to invite her, but there were many people who gave birth in that month, and she was invited away early, so I invited another one." Jiang Jiang Shi recalled when she gave birth to Li Meier, and said with some regret.

"Then I'll help you tell her this time, settle it earlier, and save yourself from being invited away by others." Li Qingqing said to Jiang Shi with a smile.

"Then I'll thank my sister first." Jiang replied with a smile. The relationship between their aunts and sisters-in-law has always been good, and this time they gave birth at about the same time, so the relationship is a step closer.

Li Qingqing's body is heavy now, and it's not good for her to stay at her mother's house. After lunch, she went home.

Jiang got the address that Li Qingqing had left for her, and without any delay, she wrote a letter and sent it to her parents, thinking that Zhou's family would come in a few days, and her parents could tell them about it.

The Zhou family came to visit three days later, and the Jiang family did not go there that day. It was only after Jiang's father and Jiang's mother wrote to her that she learned about the conversation between the two sides that day.

The second veteran of the Zhou family, Zhou's current situation, has told Jiang's father and Jiang's mother in detail about the current situation, and the words also revealed some intentions of retiring the engagement, but Jiang's father and Jiang's mother firmly disagreed with the resignation, and did not agree to the divorce. I promised that I would help the Zhou family to tide over the difficulties together, which was considered to have eased the hearts of the Zhou family, so the matter of retiring the engagement was let go for the time being.

"Mother, sister Zhou will still be my aunt?" Li Meier has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, seeing her mother read the letter from her grandmother's home, she couldn't help asking.

Jiang put down the letter paper in her hand, touched Li Meier's head, and asked with a smile: "Does Mei Meier like sister Zhou very much?"

"I like it. Sister Zhou is a good person. She gave me many good things and invited me to eat delicious food." Li Meier replied innocently.

"You, you've been thinking about eating all day long, and you're almost turning into a little chubby pig." Jiang laughed, and lightly pinched Li Meier's chubby cheeks.

Li Meier is quite depressed, her mother hasn't answered her yet, can Sister Zhou still be her eldest aunt? I'm afraid something will happen again.

"Don't worry, not only you like sister Zhou, but mother and grandpa and grandma like her very much, and she will definitely make her your first aunt." Jiang Shi finally gave Li Meier the answer and reassured her.

Li Meier cheered and ran out to play.

Holding the letter paper in her hand, Jiang's smile gradually faded. Although the marriage of the two families will not change for the time being, the crisis of the Zhou family is still not resolved. I don't know if the second brother in the county has found someone who can help the Zhou family. people.
