There was a hint of inquiry in Jiang Xun's eyes.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Zhao Xingmei explained to him: "Your mother-in-law was willing to marry Ye Li to you because she was afraid that she would be in trouble. That's why she didn't ask for any betrothal gifts and asked you to get married quickly. Now, if she knew that Ye Li was not sick, she would definitely not let it go! She might come back to settle old scores with you."

Jiang Xun didn't care: "Come if you want."

"Why aren't you in a hurry at all? You can tell at a glance that your mother-in-law is not an easy person to deal with!" Zhao Xingmei had seen Zhuang Shihong's unreasonable appearance. To be honest, although she was very powerful in normal times, she was scared when she met her mother-in-law.

It's not because of fear, but because of irritation.

When she met Zhuang Shihong, she felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.

"There's no use in being anxious. What's coming will eventually come." Jiang Xun said calmly.

Zhao Xingmei was really convinced that her son was very broad-minded. Even though trouble was about to come, he was not in a hurry at all.

"You'd better think about it. What will you do if your mother-in-law comes to your house?" Zhao Xingmei felt painful just thinking about it. Adding up those things and the money, it would cost about seven or eight hundred yuan.

...

...

This is really not a small amount.

Jiang Xun smiled and said, "With Li Li here, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Xingmei: "You are a man, how can you push your wife away when something happens?"

"Since Li Li did this in the first place, she had already thought about how to deal with the consequences! Don't worry!" Jiang Xun said.

It’s not that he wanted to push Ye Li away, but he understood Ye Li and knew what her plans were.

Seeing that her son is not anxious, what's the point of her being anxious?

Let’s wait until Ye Li comes back.

When the chicken soup was ready, a rich aroma wafted out from the kitchen.

Ye Li stood at the door, took a deep sniff of the fragrance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Mom! I'm back!" She didn't even have time to go back to her room to put down her bag, and went straight to the kitchen.

I am tired and hungry after a busy day. It would be a wonderful thing to comfort myself with some delicious chicken soup tonight.

Zhao Xingmei was rolling noodles in the kitchen, thinking of cooking some noodles in chicken soup and making chicken noodle soup.

Hearing that Ye Li had returned, he hurried out to greet him without even having time to put down the rolling pin in his hand.

"You're finally back!"

"Mom! What are you going to do?" Ye Li was frightened.

Zhao Xingmei saw that she had come out with a rolling pin, and she slapped her forehead and said, "Look how careless I was! I was so anxious that I forgot to put down the rolling pin."

"This rolling pin is not bad." Ye Li leaned over to take a look at the rolling pin. "This rolling pin is really long. It's much longer than the one I have at home."

"There are a lot of these on the market," Zhao Xingmei said. "It's very convenient to use this to roll noodles."

Ye Li compared it and said, "This has to be about one meter long, right?"

"Isn't it? This is made of jujube wood. It won't crack easily. It's hard and easy to use."

As Zhao Xingmei was talking, she suddenly realized something was wrong: "Hey, why am I telling you this? Why are you talking about rolling pins for no reason?"

"Then what do you want to tell me?" Ye Li asked with a smile.

"I want to tell you, you have to be careful! Others have found out about your pretending to be sick to deceive your mother." Zhao Xingmei reminded.

"Pretending to be sick? How do you know I'm pretending to be sick?"

Zhao Xingmei snorted and laughed: "How could I not know? Then your mother suddenly came over and said she wanted to marry Jiang Xun, it must be what you thought of."

Ye Li nodded, that was indeed the case.

"I'm afraid your mother will come to trouble you." Zhao Xingmei said worriedly, "You can't come to ask for the betrothal money again, right?"

"Yes." Ye Li said very affirmatively.

"ah?"

"But don't be afraid." Ye Li smiled, "Sooner or later this day will come, it's better to come early than late! Come early and you will have peace and quiet sooner!"

If she had her way, she would have directly stolen the household registration booklet and gone with Jiang Xun to get the marriage certificate.

When the matter is settled, just let her mother make a fuss. She is not afraid anyway!

Seeing that she was not in a hurry either, Zhao Xingmei realized that the person involved was not in a hurry, and she was the only one who was worrying for him in vain.

Never mind. She is not in a hurry anymore.

"Go back to the house and wash your hands first, then come over for dinner. Mom will make you some chicken noodle soup tonight, it's delicious!"

"Thank you, Mom!"

Ye Li returned to his room and saw Jiang Xun still reading.

"You're back so late." Jiang Xun put down the book and saw that she looked tired today. "Are you tired?"

"It's tiring. But I've gained a lot today." Ye Li came over, took off the green messenger bag, and pulled out a roll of money from it. "Look, today's income!"

Jiang Xun was very surprised when he saw such a large sum of money: "How much is this?"

"Eighty!" Ye Li said happily.

"so much!"

"Hmm!" Ye Li counted on his fingers, "After selling this batch of cloth, I can make more than a thousand! I am one step closer to the goal of 5,000 yuan!"

"You are still thinking about this." Jiang Xun really didn't expect that Ye Li would work so hard for this goal.

He was so lucky to meet such a good girl.

"Of course." Ye Li sat down and looked at him lovingly, "You are my man! I want you to stand up!"

"But you are too tired." Jiang Xun paused and said, "If it is because of me that you are so tired, I am not in such a hurry to stand up now."

In the past few years, he has gotten used to taking care of himself, so a few years later would not cause him too much trouble.

"I am a little tired, but not that tired." Ye Li pounded his legs. "I stood for a long time today. My legs and feet are just a little sore."

"Then let me massage it for you." Jiang Xun leaned over and was about to hold her ankle.

His palms were big, his fingers were long, his palms were hot and slightly rough. When he touched Ye Li's ankles, Ye Li's face turned slightly red.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Jiang Xun's lips curled up into a faint smile: "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

"Yeah." Ye Li nodded and smiled.

Jiang Xun was about to help Ye Li massage her legs and feet when he heard Zhao Xingmei's voice coming from outside the window: "Jiang Xun, Ye Li is ready to eat."

"Oh, I got it, Mom! I'll be right there!" Ye Li responded, but there was a look of regret on his face.

This hint of regret was captured by Jiang Xun.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'll help you massage your legs after dinner."

Ye Li raised her eyes and met his smiling gaze.

Under his gaze, her face turned redder and even felt a little hot.
