Chapter 93: Successfully fooling my brother

After eating and drinking, everyone packed up and went back. Wu Ruirui was sent away by Li Meng. She knew that her elder brother must want to talk to her at this time. He probably had a lot of questions to ask her today.

When Li Wen took a stool and sat in the kitchen watching her boil water, Li Meng knew that what was coming could not be avoided.

"Brother, do you have anything to ask? Just ask."

Li Wen looked at his sister in front of him carefully and knew that she was different. However, this was all too unreal. He calmed himself down and spoke.

"Do you want to tell me yourself? Or do you want me to ask you one by one?"

"You'd better ask. I don't know what you want to ask or where to start." Li Meng threw the topic back.

"You don't have to tell me what's going on with the things in your house in that town, but I want to hear the truth from you." Li Wen looked at his sister steadily.

Li Meng sighed. Here it comes, here it comes. She knew this would be the question.

"Brother, I can only tell you that the house is mine. I bought it, and the people inside were all hired by me to work for me. The source of the goods was provided to me by my partner's relatives. It's very safe. The person is not with us, but from Hong Kong. You know the development there is different from ours, so it's normal to get good things there." Of course Li Meng couldn't tell the truth, so he had to blame Pei Yu.

"What? You have a partner? I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen him? Who is it?" Li Wen's thoughts were completely distracted. She no longer thought about the source of the goods. She only wanted to know who the bastard was who had cheated her sister away?

"His name is Pei Yu, he is from Beijing, and he is in the army now. He was an educated youth who went to the countryside with me at that time, but later he went back to serve in the army because of some problems."

"So my supply issues are all due to cooperation between his relatives and me. Don't worry, there won't be any problem. I am responsible for everything here, and his relatives travel all over the country and are not fixed to one place," Li Meng continued to make up stories.

"You mean this kid is in the army now, then what about your problem? Have you thought about it? What to do in the future? If you are not together, can you guarantee that this kid will not change his mind and will not cause any trouble?" Li Wen continued to ask.

"I have met his parents and they are very satisfied with me. We are now in contact through letters, and I can guarantee that he will not abandon me. Of course, we are both working hard on our own and will meet at the top in the future." Li Meng said this very confidently. Besides, she is also very calm about the matter of love. First, make money, and when you have money, you will have plenty of men.

Of course she didn't dare tell her brother about this idea, as it was too shocking. She was afraid that if her brother knew about it, he would send her to the police station and accuse her of being a female hooligan.

When Li Wen heard his sister speak so confidently, he didn't say anything more. After all, she was the one living her own life, and he could only give her advice but not make decisions for her.

"When you have a chance, introduce this guy to me." Li Wen's words showed that he approved of Li Meng's dating plan.

"There is one more thing I want to say. Don't tell anyone else about your business. After all, people's hearts are hidden. Don't tell your family either. My grandma and my parents can't bear it very well. It's inevitable that they will be worried if they know about it."

"You must not do anything that harms the national interest. I believe you know this. Now the national economy is recovering little by little. All walks of life are working hard. Policies will be opened up little by little. Since you have done it, do it well."

Li Meng was very touched when she heard her brother's words. After all, he was her brother, who understood and supported her.

"Brother, don't worry. I will not do anything that harms national interests or commits crimes. I know what you said. Thank you for your understanding," Li Meng said with a long sigh.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, when it was still dawn, Li Meng got dressed and got up. She wore a dark red cotton jacket, a black woolen hat, and her hair was tied into two pigtails. She looked very festive.

"Rui Rui, you sleep a little longer. I'll go to the kitchen and clean up everything that needs to be prepared."

Wu Ruirui rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Li Meng, who was neatly dressed.

"You go first, I'll be there soon. I can't let you be busy alone. This is also my job."

When Li Meng heard Wu Ruirui's words, she smiled and agreed, then closed the door and went to the kitchen.

Li Wen got up early and went outside to exercise. Soldiers are self-disciplined.

There are about 4 tables today. In order to prepare for emergencies, Li Meng prepared 5 tables of dishes. After closing the kitchen door, Li Meng called Dandan, who was still sleeping in the space, to come out to help and move out all the dishes needed for today.

Didn’t Li Meng come back with a big bag yesterday? This would explain where she brought all the food from.

Braised pork, meatballs, Chinese cabbage fried with bacon, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bone soup stewed with kelp, stir-fried green vegetables with mushrooms, pickled cabbage stewed with vermicelli, fried peanuts, just these eight dishes,

After writing the menu and posting it on the wall, Li Meng took out the instant noodles, tore off the packaging and threw it back into the space. He had said last night that Li Laidi and Wang Fang should come over for breakfast in the morning. They are all here to help, so they should be fed well, right?

"Sister Meng, we are here," Li Meng was frying eggs when she heard Zhou Hui's loud voice.

Zhou Hui came into the yard carrying a large bundle of firewood, and Li Laidi and Wang Fang followed behind him, also carrying firewood.

"Glad you're here. After breakfast, I'll trouble you to help me today."

"Mengmeng, what are you talking about? We feel embarrassed to eat your food every day. It is our duty to help you. Don't worry, we will do whatever you point today. Just leave it to us," Li Laidi patted his chest and said proudly.

"Haha, okay, then I won't say these empty words anymore," Li Meng nodded at them.

For breakfast, each person had a bowl of instant noodles, with two fried eggs cooked in lard. None of the others had ever eaten this before, and they all exclaimed that it was delicious.

"What kind of noodles is this? Why is it different from the noodles we ate before?" Wang Fang took a bite and exclaimed that it was delicious.

"I bought this specially on the black market. I didn't ask where it was from. As long as it tastes good, that's fine," Li Meng said with a laugh.

Li Wen glanced at his sister who lied without thinking and thought that the taste was really good. When he went back, he asked his sister for some to bring back for his greedy old boss to taste.

After dinner, everyone started to get busy under Li Meng's arrangement.

The four aunties that had been invited by the village chief's wife also came. Li Meng took out two boiled eggs and stuffed them into the four aunties without saying a word.

"Auntie, you guys eat first. When the lunch is over, don't be disgusted by the remaining food. I will divide it up for you to take away."

When several aunties entered the yard, they were stunned to see two slaughtered pigs placed in the yard. Then they were shocked again when they saw the dishes prepared in the kitchen. How rich is Li Zhiqing! That’s too much of a sacrifice!
