Zhulan, "Your mother-in-law has had a hard time too, you must not be disrespectful or take your anger out on Mrs. Dong."
Chang Lian was speechless, "Mom, I'm your son. I won't do such a shameless thing."
He didn't dare to mention it to Mrs. Dong until yesterday. Mrs. Dong already knew about it. Fortunately, Mrs. Dong was able to figure it out.
He really didn't have a good impression of Dong Liao. He tested his father on the first day. Ha, it was such a childish test that he embarrassed himself. Dong Liao didn't think much of it. Instead, his face felt hot when he looked at his father's half-smile.
Zhulan took her son from Changlian's arms and said, "At least you know what's going on."
Chang Lian was reluctant to let go of his little brother. At first, he held him for practice. He was also going to be a father. After holding him for a long time, the little guy was really precious. Blood was inseparable. This was his real brother, and he had long stopped being jealous. Seeing his little brother crying, Chang Lian smiled even more, "By the way, mother, isn't it time for my second brother to come back?"
Zhulan counted the days and said, "He will be back soon. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Chang Lian, "Yes, I have something to discuss with my eldest brother. I am thinking of buying a fishery with my second brother."
Zhulan thought that Boss Zhou had become quite smart after these years of training. This time when he went out, Boss saw the silver and said, "If you are short of silver, mother will lend it to you."
Chang Lian felt embarrassed, as his mother had seen through his thoughts again. "Thank you, mother."
Zhulan, "If you are not busy these few days, spend more time with Dong. She is feeling the worst."
Chang Lian's heart tightened when he thought of his wife. She shed tears a lot last night. Well, pregnant women tend to think too much. She even asked him if he would dislike her. He really wouldn't. He was determined to learn from his father!
Li came back in the afternoon. She was very happy when she left in the morning, but she came back with a frown.
Zhulan looked at Li, who hadn't changed her clothes, and asked, "Did someone make you angry? Or did someone gossip about you behind your back and you heard it?"
Li shook his head, "None."
Zhulan thought that it was impossible. Li had changed a lot. She was very imposing. In addition, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, the Xu family, a family of merchants, dared not be offended. "Then what's wrong with you?"
He kept frowning, really not wanting Li.
Li felt very strange. Her feelings were very accurate. "Mom, I just feel strange. I can't explain how strange it is. The Xu family should flatter you, but why do the whole family flatter me? I know my own abilities very well, but the Xu family can't wait to praise me to the sky."
Zhulan asked, "Mrs. Xu also praised you?"
Li nodded. "Well, they praised me but I didn't say anything. They kept saying that I should save more money. Qi even settled an account with me. Although everything she said was for my own good, I always felt like she was trying to sow discord."
Especially when she was treated like a fool, she felt very uncomfortable. She was no longer the impulsive and thoughtless person. Even though she was not smart, she had learned to think with her heart after much experience. If thinking once didn't work, she would think several times.
On the way back, she kept thinking about it. The only thing she couldn't figure out was, if she didn't curry favor with her mother-in-law, what was the point of currying favor with her
Zhulan asked, "Did they tell you how to save money?"
Li shook her head, "No, but Qi asked me to go to the jewelry store tomorrow."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Let Minghui take care of it for me, you go ahead."
Li thought for a while and realized that her mother wanted her to get some information. "Mom, do you suspect something?"
Zhulan raised her eyebrows. The environment is the best teacher. No matter how she taught before, Li didn't take it seriously. Since she started to scheme everywhere, Li has become smarter. "I have some suspicions, but there is too little information, my eldest daughter-in-law."
Li swallowed her breath, and her mother paused. She was a little scared. She hadn't felt this way for a long time. "Mom, please don't pause."
Her little heart couldn't take it. She had been living too comfortably lately and couldn't bear it!
Bamboo orchid, "... "
Li, you have changed. This is what Li said!
Li's fat body moved. She felt uneasy sitting down and wanted to stand!
Zhulan, "What I mean is, if you have any doubts, just ask. Don't try to test others by pretending to be good."
Li, "..."
What the mother-in-law meant was that she didn't have the brains to test it, and it was really a setback for her, but she was still excited and wanted to try it!
Li was a little depressed, "Mom, I'm going back first."
"good."
In the evening, Zhulan talked to Zhou Shuren about the Xu family, and then said, "The Xu family is too abnormal. I always feel that it is not simple."
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "It's indeed not simple. It will become clearer once the Xu family gives Li some advice."
Zhu Lan sighed, "Originally, I thought the Xu family was great and we could have some contact in the future, but now it seems that's not the case."
Zhou Shuren also felt it was a pity. He had also been observing the Xu family for a long time. "Tomorrow, I'll have someone check on the Xu family."
Zhulan, "It's better to be safe than sorry. We should investigate thoroughly. The Xu family is very abnormal."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that those who might be plotting against him should be behaving themselves lately. Lord Min would rather stay at home, while everyone else should just mind their own business!
Zhulan could only hope that Li would be more supportive.
On the second day, Li was indeed very helpful. "Mother, the Xu family actually knew that the head of the family wanted to buy a fishery. Qi said that the fishery makes money too slowly and the risks are particularly high. In many cases, you will lose all your money. She suggested to me that we invest some money to buy shares in the fishing boat."
Zhulan put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked, "Did she tell you directly?"
Li nodded. "She didn't say anything at first. I got angry and said that if she wasn't sincere, we wouldn't have any more contact. Then she said that fishing boats can make a lot of money, and the Xu family wants to buy a big boat to go fishing."
Zhulan pondered and thought that it would be better to just talk about this kind of investment directly. If Li hadn't asked directly today, the Xu family would have continued to guide Li and hinted that Li should earn more money on his own.
Seeing her mother silent, Li became worried. She expressed her doubts directly, but Qi said she was overthinking it. Then she asked if there was any way to make money. She got angry, and Qi became anxious. Li was very sad. This was her first friend, and she had seen clearly that Qi was trying to plot against her.
Zhulan raised her head, and Li's emotions were all shown on her face. She was sad. "Don't be sad. If the bad ones don't go, the new ones won't come. You will have new friends."
Li raised her head and said, "Mom, please stop comforting me. I can't find any friends."
Zhulan: "... Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud."
Li, “… . . . .”
So what mom said just now was just to coax her! !
