"Oh? Why?" Li Yu asked.

She was indeed curious, as she had never seen Lin Mei say that she hated someone.

Especially when Li Yu himself has a good impression of the Tian brothers and sisters.

"That Tian Suining kept staring at me. She even pouted when you gave her brother 100 coins. Humph!

"Her brother Tian Yuning is a bit of a goofball. Tian Suining is obviously better off than him, and he even went to war for Tian Suining. I guarantee that Tian Suining eats and clothes better at home than her brother. I think this guy was deceived by his sister and parents." Lin Mei analyzed with her little mouth.

This shocked Li Yu. She didn't expect Lin Mei's observation and analysis skills to be so strong.

Although Li Yu also thought that the brother and sister's clothes were strange, to be honest, she had not thought of this.

She hesitated and said, "No way?"

Lin Mei continued, "Mom, I suspect they expected you to give them the money. Maybe it was Tian Suining who came up with this idea. She's much smarter than her brother."

Li Yu really felt that his IQ was insufficient this time: "No way? These two kids are so scheming?"

"Mom, you're just too soft-hearted. Although you bought their fish, it was by accident, not on purpose. Later, when you said you bought all their fish, I guess their family thought you were a gullible person.

Have you ever met someone who tells you everything about his family after just one meeting? Lin Mei explained it to her again.

"And..." Lin Mei was about to say.

Li Yu quickly interrupted her: "Alright, alright, I already believe it. Don't analyze it anymore, it makes me feel even more stupid. Just consider the 100 wen as a lesson. I won't be so kind again. Anyway, I won't meet them again in the future."

Lin Mei disagreed: "Mom is not stupid, you are just too kind. But people in this world are always trying to cheat kind people. My mom is the smartest."

Li Yu laughed with enjoyment.

Because Li Yu bought a lot of wool and put it on the ox cart, the two of them did not go shopping anymore and just waited for them to come back by the ox cart.

Unexpectedly, Lin He was the first to arrive.

He was really born to be the leading man. Li Yu watched him walk towards them from the crowd in the distance. Among so many people, he, a 16-year-old boy, was the most conspicuous.

It had been almost two months since he entered the academy. Even just two months had been enough to change him. No one could match his aura.

Many young women were secretly looking at him.

Lin Mei sighed in Li Yu's ear: "Mom, you said that my third brother has such a good look and temperament. My future third sister-in-law must be so beautiful to be worthy of him."

Li Yu also wanted to know.

Before she could say anything, Lin He walked up to her and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why is my little sister laughing so creepy?"

"Let's just chat for a while. Third brother, has your teacher given you a holiday?" Li Yu was interrupted by Lin Mei just as she was about to speak. She didn't dare let her third brother know that she was making fun of his appearance.

Li Yu also reacted and said, "I'll tell your sister what delicious food to make for tomorrow's festival. Is there anything you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."

Although Lin He thought they were acting strangely, he didn't ask any further questions.

He just said it, he wanted to eat anything his mother made.

Li Yu couldn't think of what to eat for a while, as she only knew how to cook a few home-cooked dishes.

It would be great if we had hotpot, it’s simple and convenient and doesn’t require any skills.

Oh. I used to read novels where the heroine always found it so easy to open a hot pot restaurant. But her family is in this situation now, so she needs to buy a new pot and charcoal.

Forget it, this is not something I can afford.

Hot pot equipment is a high-end game. The iron control in this dynasty was very strict, so a pot cost several taels of silver.

The three of them waited for a while, and Lin Jiang and Lin Hai came back one after another with Xiaobao.

Lin Hai is indeed the eldest brother, just like Li Yu, he is always worried. When I first arrived, I saw two big bags of wool that Li Yu bought.

"Mom, what did you buy? These two big bags. Cotton? But our family doesn't need so much. Winter is still a long way off," he said.

Lin Mei said quickly: "Brother, what are you thinking? This is not cotton. The wool that Mom bought is useful. And it's cheap, not as expensive as cotton."

Li Yu also took over Lin Mei's words: "Yes, Yangmao, I plan to go back and teach Meimei how to make something new."

She then asked Lin Hai and Lin Jiang, "Is there anything you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you. Or why not buy some spare ribs and pork belly and I'll make you some braised pork. We'll all take a break tomorrow and not set up shop."

Xiaobao said happily: "Great, great. Grandma, the braised pork is delicious, and the spare ribs are delicious too."

Everyone: ...

"By the way, this is for you." Li Yu handed the orchid earrings he had just bought to Yang Liu and said.

"Mom, did you buy it for me? It's too expensive. You can wear it yourself." Yang Liu declined.

"When you have money in the future, just buy whatever you want. With Lin Hai's personality, he probably would never think of buying anything for you unless someone reminds him. Just take it if I give it to you. I, your mother, don't like to carry these things." Li Yu said to her.

Yang Liu accepted it with a look of emotion, carefully wrapped it up and put it in her arms.

In fact, Li Yu cried out in his heart: It’s not that I don’t want to wear it, it’s that my appearance is not worthy of it⊙﹏⊙
