Chapter 206 Convincing Li Mei

"You useless thing, do you think the An family takes you seriously? You know nothing!" Mother Li was really anxious.

There is a good opportunity right in front of me, but I can only stare blankly and miss it.

"Sister, I heard that this steel plant is one of the largest factories in the north. Are you so confident that my brother-in-law can work there alone?" Li Ju had her own ideas. She was eighteen years old and it was time for her to say what was right, but what good could she do to others?

People go to high places and water flows to low places. She also wants to find a worker in the city.

Now there is a rare opportunity. Her brother-in-law is a worker in the city. If she can stay in the city with her sister for a while, maybe she can meet the right person.

Then you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

"Once your brother-in-law's side is stable, he will take us mother and me to live with him." Although Li Mei also thought about reuniting with An Jianmin, she couldn't just live with him like this. Wouldn't that just cause trouble?

"You are such a fool. When a man leaves home, he is like a kite that has been released. You don't know where he is flying to. Once he flies too far, you can't pull him back." Mother Li thinks that this man cannot be allowed to leave his wife too far, especially now that An Jianmin is a worker, which is different from his previous status.

Li Mei became anxious when she heard this, "Mom, then...what should we do?"

"You're not going to find a fool, what's the point of having two legs?" Mother Li also knew what her little daughter was thinking.

This was exactly what she was thinking. She could no longer rely on her eldest daughter, but her youngest daughter was clever and might achieve great things in the future.

If the eldest daughter were to go to the city and be taken care of by the younger daughter, maybe the younger daughter would be able to find a good marriage, and then help the eldest and youngest sons, and their family would be able to get better.

"This...how can this be possible!" Li Mei had never been out of the house before, and her father didn't let her go out. She was afraid that if she went out too much, she would be scolded by her mother-in-law.

"Of course you shouldn't! It's been so long now. If you delay any longer, your husband will run away with another woman, and you won't even have a place to cry when you regret it!" Mother Li definitely didn't want her eldest daughter to be abandoned.

First, it has a bad reputation and will affect the younger daughter’s marriage.

Secondly, the eldest daughter gave birth to four girls. It would be difficult for her to get married again. She would be sent back to her parents' home soon. She couldn't afford to feed five mouths.

Moreover, the An family is about to get established. There are already three workers in the family, and the conditions are not comparable to those of ordinary families.

Her son-in-law is a worker, so she can definitely benefit from it. Apart from anything else, the gifts she receives during festivals are more generous than those given by other families.

"Then... I'll send a telegram to Jianmin and ask him?" Li Mei was no longer interested.

After hearing what her mother and younger sister said, she also became scared.

Which woman doesn't love her own man? An Jianmin is no longer a country man, but a city worker.

The young girls and wives in the city are all very pretty. If one of them is really seduced away by someone, where will they go to cry?

"Why send a telegram? Do you have an address? Just take the children and go find An Jianmin. Will he let you come back?" He acted first and asked for permission later. Otherwise, Li Guiying would definitely not let her eldest daughter come to the family.

And she wanted her little daughter to come with her.

"I'll let your eldest brother and youngest sister go with you. We'll have four children along, so they can help look after you. It's not safe to be on the road without a man. After we get you across, your eldest brother will come back."

"As for your younger sister, let her live with you temporarily. She can help you take care of the children. You can also help your sister to find a good husband for her, so that you two sisters can take care of each other." The younger daughter is a girl, so they don't have the nerve to chase her away after they settle down.

It just so happened that the younger daughter came to help the older daughter take care of her child, and took the opportunity to find a suitable family.

Li Mei listened to her mother and did not object. She was also happy that her sister had married well.

"Xiao, let's make this clear. You take care of Xiao Li tonight, and tomorrow I'll ask your elder brother and younger sister to come find you, and then you all can set off." Li's mother was afraid that her eldest daughter would go back on her word, so she quickly settled the matter.

"Mom, isn't this too hasty? I...how about I send a telegram to Jianmin first?" Li Mei didn't dare to do such a big thing.

"It takes time to send a telegram. Hurry up, Xiaoju, you can sleep at your sister's place tonight. Don't make a second trip. I'll go back and pack your things, and I'll ask your eldest brother to bring them to you tomorrow." Mother Li was afraid that her eldest daughter would go back on her word, so she had her younger daughter around to encourage her.

"Oh, okay!" Li Juba was very unhappy. She took off her shoes and sat on the kang. She was too lazy to walk.

Li Mei was forced into a fight and had to start cleaning up Li.

Erya was still young after all, and she didn't understand why her grandmother urged her mother to find her father, but she did miss her father, grandparents, and Third Aunt.

The next day, when the eldest brother of the Li family came with a bag of plums, the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth brother's wife were stunned.

Although we knew yesterday that the second son's wife's mother and sister had come, and her sister was staying here for one night, no one paid much attention to it.

After all, they are her biological mother and sister. The second brother is not at home, so how can she not be allowed to get close to her mother's family?

I just thought that Li's mother sent her younger daughter over to accompany her sister.

But today, when I saw the eldest brother of the Li family coming over with the plums, something seemed amiss.

"This... Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Um... I planned to take the child to find Jianmin. The child missed his father. My sister came with me to help me take care of the child. My eldest brother was afraid that it would be unsafe on the road, so he sent us across." Li Mei explained awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chen Tingting was stunned for a moment.

"The second son wrote to you saying that he wanted you to come over. You asked the same question. Why didn't you tell us? The eldest and fourth sons can send you off. Why bother your eldest brother-in-law?" Mrs. An thought that the second son had sent a letter asking his younger brother and his wife's family to come over.
