Chapter 44 Best Mother-in-law

Li Dazhuang heard the words and was not happy when he thought of the scene that happened today. "My sister-in-law is indeed a little too much today, but it is inevitable that the family is busy and there are not enough manpower. You should be more optimistic about your loyal sons when you go there in the future."

"You think I have a split skill. I'm already busy just cooking and cooking for your house. How can I have time to take care of Zhong'er?" After listening to her husband's words, Aunt Li was inevitably angry and unconsciously raised her voice. "Today, Zhong'er is fine, and I won't care about her. If she does this again, I won't stop with her!" I've been busy until now, and my loyal son hasn't even been able to eat hot food. Do you think that's really your mother!"

"Silt down, don't let the child hear it," Li Dazhuang couldn't help complaining about his daughter-in-law. This made Aunt Li even more angry and immediately threw the vegetables in her hand and sat at the door sulking.

Lu Mengjian stood at the door and did not retreat. She simply pretended not to know and knocked on the door a few times. Li Dazhuang got up and answered the door. At this time, Aunt Li had wiped away her tears as if nothing had happened and greeted her with a smile.

Seeing another bowl of novel food and two packs of snacks wrapped in oil paper, Aunt Li was very sorry. Instead, as soon as Zhonger saw Lu Mengjian, she immediately rushed over with joy. Her small nose had already smelled the aroma of meat and stared at the little fat pig in the bowl.

"Look at the child's promising appearance, and his saliva is about to flow out," Aunt Li pinched her son's little face. "Why don't you wash your hands and taste your sister's good skills."

"Mom, the meat made by my sister is so delicious. Today, Xiaojing said that grandma brought him such a large piece of braised pork," Zhonger stuffed a wonton into her mouth and opened her arm to compare it vigorously. "But he must have never eaten such delicious meat. It smells better than grandma's, but grandma said that children can't eat braised pork, no However, there will be a rash all over the body, and Zhong'er will not eat until he grows up. Mother, when Zhonger is as old as Brother Xiaojing, will she be able to eat braised pork?

When Aunt Li heard this, she felt uncomfortable at all. She gritted her teeth with hatred, but because Lu Mengjian was present, she couldn't show it. Her face couldn't help but darken, "Grandma's braised pork loyal can't eat it. In a couple of days, my mother will make braised pork for you. Besides, grandma's braised pork is not as delicious as the dumplings made by your sister. Zhong'er should eat it obediently. Fan can only grow as big as Brother Xiaojing!"

"Mom, are you telling the truth?" As soon as Zhong'er heard that there was braised pork, she was happy but a little hesitant. "But Zhong'er hasn't grown up yet. Can she eat the braised pork made by her mother?"

When Lu Mengjian heard this, she couldn't help feeling sad. She thought that such a mother-in-law was really the best. Looking at Aunt Li's nose, her nose had turned red.

"Of course what my mother said is true, but Zhong'er must be obedient." Aunt Li touched Zhong'er's head pitifully and saw Lu Mengjian sitting aside, as if she had something to say, so she took Zhong'er to the table with a bowl.

"I heard from Mr. Lin that you went to the city again today. You haven't been able to have a good rest for several days in a row. You don't take a break and run to the city again, and the city doesn't seem to be very peaceful these two days." Aunt Li looked at Lu Mengjian's tired face and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"There was nothing wrong at home, but I only took a few steps. However, there are really many officers and soldiers guarding at the gate today, and I don't know which senior official is coming to our Pulan City," Lu Mengjian said, which also seemed relaxed, and briefly said a few words about selling essential oils, but the coincidence of meeting Mrs. You was still hidden. She only said that the big woman in the city liked the fragrance of locust flowers, so she appreciated it. A few taels of silver.

Lu Mengjian took out half a pair of silver and handed them to Aunt Li, which was counted as a thank-you gift for helping to refine essential oils in those days. Aunt Li held silver in her hand, but she hurriedly stuffed it back into Lu Mengjian's hand. "That's okay? I just have some free time to help a little favor. These silver can't Come on, Mengjian, how can I be ashamed to see people like this in the future!"

Most of the villagers are really and used to being simple, and the places where the villagers can help will naturally not be stingy. Aunt Li is originally warm-hearted. Last time, Lu Mengjian gave such a thank-you gift for burning flower pots, which made the couple think about it for a long time. It was not easy to help several times before they feel at ease. This time With so much, Aunt Li can't avoid shirking.

"Auncle Li, in fact, Mengjian has something to ask for this time. If you insist on refusing to accept it, Mengjian is really not easy to bother your uncle and aunt to help. Besides, if you have helped so much a few days ago, you can accept the money, and there are still many places that need your aunt's help in the future. When those flowers and trees grow up, you will inevitably have to invite your aunt. Let's take care of it. If my aunt refuses like this, I really don't know who to ask for help in the future.

Unable to withstand Lu Mengjian's repeatedly appeal, Aunt Li barely held the silver in her hand.

"That time when I went out to dig for shepherd's purse, I saw many azalea trees in the field, and they must have bloomed now, so I wanted to ask my aunt to help me pick some so that I could try to make some essential oils. A few days ago, thanks to the locust tree in the yard, I barely extracted some essential oil. I didn't expect to sell it when I entered the city today, so I wondered if I could pick some other flowers and extract some essential oils to supplement the family. Lu Mengjian described the idea in detail and quietly looked at Aunt Li's reaction.

"There are indeed many flowering trees in our village, and it is not a problem to pick some flowers back, but..." Aunt Li paused and glanced at Lu Mengjian and hesitated.

"However, even if you really extract essential oil, what if no one buys it in the future, the essential oil can be sold smoothly today because you are lucky enough to meet a nobleman, but there is no guarantee that you will meet such a buyer every time," Aunt Li said worriedly, and this is not what Lu Mengjian is worried about.

Extracting essential oil from flowers was originally an idea that Lu Mengji came up with in order to make a living. After all, it will take at least a year and a half to wait for potted plants to take shape, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the seedlings will grow and shape smoothly during this period.

Starting empty-handed, what I fear most is that I spent all my energy, but in the end I got nothing. And the possible risks are exactly what Lu Mengji is most afraid of. She only knew a little about the way of doing business under the immersion of her parents, but when she really took action, she found that there were many difficulties.

And supporting the family is inseparable from money. For Lu Mengji, who has not lived a poor life, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge. Therefore, instead of waiting for a year, it is better to spend a little more energy. Although the market for flower products here is not very large, even if it is only sold a little, it can at least improve one Today's life.

The silver won by Huaihua essential oil undoubtedly gave Lu Mengjian great confidence, so she started to make other flower essential oils again.

But Aunt Li's words seemed to be enlightened, which made her brain, which burned unprecedentedly, suddenly wake up. Previously, in the environment of the ivory tower, she only came into contact with professors and classmates and had not really set foot in society, so she was inevitably simple. When she had an idea, she couldn't help but feel hot, while Aunt Li graduated from social college. Although she only lived in a small mountain village, she also saw many various people. Naturally knew the difficulties of life. Xin.

Seeing that Lu Mengjian has been speechless for a long time, Aunt Li said, "Mengjian, it's not that Aunt Li wants to hit you, but that doing business really shouldn't be done by our women. Zhong'er's father often goes to the city to sell some wild animals in the mountains. He must know more about business than me as a woman. Every time he comes home from the city, he always likes to talk about what he has seen and heard in the city, but every time he mentions about women doing business, he inevitably shakes his head.

For these, Lu Mengjian listened to Aunt Li mention it for the first time, and then concentrated on the sound.

"To tell you the truth, two years ago, there was really a strange woman in our Pulan City, specializing in some strange things. There were many colorful headdresses in the store, some cute dolls hanging on the wall, and even the earrings were strange in shape. At the beginning, many women thought it was strange, so they went into the store to watch it, but wait When you come out of it, your face is painted like a fox. I heard that your eyes will be surprisingly big and your eyelashes will grow much longer..."

Isn't this something sold in modern boutiques? Lu Mengji became more and more curious. Thinking that this woman may have traveled here at the same time as himself, he felt inexplicably excited and blurted out, "So where is she now?"

"Just a month after the woman opened the store, a half-immortal came to the city and said that the woman was a witch," Aunt Li sighed. "People there also felt that the woman was too demonic. All the women who had entered her store became charming without exception, so a few days later, she was put on the execution ground and burned alive. The store she opened was also burned clean by a fire. All the women who had been to her store came back to life after being done with the law.

Hearing this result, Lu Mengji was shocked. Unexpectedly, some people had traveled here and even had their own storefront. However, those modern people felt ordinary things were full of charm in the eyes of the ancients. Naturally, they could not be accepted by people in this world, but the end of being burned alive was completely Lu Mengjian. I have never thought about it.

Her soul occupies this body, which is indeed not in line with the rules of heaven, but God's arrangement must also have its cause and effect. Lu Mengji has always taken everything he has done for granted, but neglected to abide by the law of survival in this world. Now when he thinks about it, he is also a little afraid.

"Is it that the woman died like this, and no one pleaded for her?" Lu Mengji's heart stung, and he was palpitated when he thought of the scene of burning.

"She was recognized as a witch. Who dared to plead for her? Even her family couldn't wait to kick her out of the house. It is said that she began to make those things in the store since her temperament changed a few years ago. Her family felt evil and threw them out, but she secretly picked them up until she somehow made money. After a lot of money, he ran away from home and opened a store.
