Chapter 441 The Future Mother-in-Law's Approval
Li Simin was so surprised she almost fell off her stool. She saw Shang Shiying, Shen Luojia, and the two children still happily pressing the piano keys.
She quickly stopped Fang Hua: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Luo Jia is still a child."
Fang Hua laughed: "What do you mean 'little child'? She's the same age as Zhizhi, only three years younger than you."
Of course, she was just joking, then went over to hug her two little babies: "My two little darlings, are you playing so much you don't want to go home? Mommy will be back soon, aren't you going home?"
Shang Shang was happily pressing the button, shaking her little head like a rattle drum: "No, no, I won't go back."
Shang Shiying smiled and said, "These two are playing so much that they don't sleep at all because Luo Jia is here. Look at the time, let's not let them sleep. Just let them go to bed early tonight."
Fang Hua glanced at Shen Luojia: "She's quite a likable girl."
Shang Shiying's smile deepened: "That's right, this child has a good voice and is a natural singer. It's a pity he was born into an irresponsible family."
Since the two children refused to go home, Fang Hua had no choice but to stay and chat with Shang Shiying and Bian Suxi.
When Zhou Xiye returned home and found the children weren't there, he came to pick them up, but the two little ones still didn't want to go back.
They wouldn't go back, and they wouldn't let their father come home either, so Zhou Xiye had no choice but to stay and chat with Li Simin in the courtyard.
Listening to the chaotic piano playing inside the room, along with the happy voices of the two children and Shen Luojia.
When Jiang Zhizhi came home from get off work, she found no one at home and the children were not there. Just as she was about to ask, Zhou Chengyu smiled and said, "Your aunt picked up Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang at noon. Your mother and Xiye went to pick up the two children, but they haven't come back yet."
"I guess the two younger ones didn't have enough fun and didn't want to come back."
Jiang Zhizhi thought about the two children's tempers. As long as they said no, Fang Hua and Zhou Xiye would definitely give in. If they wanted the two children to play enough, they would probably have to wait until the children fell asleep.
After washing his hands and changing his clothes, he told Zhou Chengyu and went to pick up the two children to go home.
As Zhou Chengyu watched Jiang Zhizhi leave, he smiled and said to Sister Chen, "I think we shouldn't prepare dinner tonight. She'll definitely eat before she comes back."
...
Jiang Zhizhi was equally surprised to see Shen Luojia there, and was somewhat taken aback to see her playing harmoniously with the two children.
After listening to Li Simin recount how he met Shen Luojia, he exclaimed, "Luojia is quite clever. What do you think that person looked like?"
Li Simin had a good memory and was very descriptive. After describing Liao Guoqing's features, Jiang Zhizhi was already certain: "Liao Guoqing?"
She was surprised; Liao Guoqing hadn't given up after all.
Shen Qingping actually set his sights on her, asking her to treat Chu Jiahe's illness?
Li Simin wasn't quite clear about the feud between Jiang Zhizhi and Liao Guoqing: "Is he using Luo Jia to target you?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded and recounted her grievances with Liao Guoqing, as well as the story of Jin Huaiying.
Li Simin frowned: "Then you need to be careful. When pushed to the limit, this kind of person is capable of anything. Since he can think of using Luo Jia, he can think of other methods as well."
She suddenly smiled and said, "However, Luo Jia went quite hard today; Liao Guoqing's entire head is swollen."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed too, looking at Chen Luojia playing with Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang: "She has a fever that has damaged her nerves. I wonder if acupuncture can cure her."
Li Simin, however, thought Shen Luojia's current state was quite good: "Actually, it's fine for her not to receive treatment. You say she doesn't understand human relationships, yet she was willing to listen to the Shen family and marry Chu Jiahe for her grandmother's sake."
"You might call her foolish, but she's not easily manipulated. In fact, she's smarter than some people who think they're clever. Because she's carefree yet always vigilant, she's probably the happiest person."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the vegetable garden again, where Shen Luojia was smiling and smearing mud on Xiao Zhouji's face, while her own face was also covered in mud from the two little ones.
The three of them looked at each other's kitten-like faces and laughed happily.
Considering that Shen Luojia can fight Sun Xiaoyue and Liao Guoqing, refuses to suffer losses, and lives freely, she is indeed very good.
After thinking about it again, Shen Luojia helped the noodle-selling mother-in-law pack up her stall at night and even knew how to take care of her feelings. How could she be called stupid?
Just as Zhou Chengyu had guessed, Shang Shiying refused to let Fang Hua and Jiang Zhizhi go home that night, insisting that they stay for dinner and even asking the aunt to add two more dishes.
Shen Luojia remembered Jiang Zhizhi, and only when she saw Jiang Zhizhi did she realize the purpose of her visit to the Li family.
During the meal, he remained silent for a while, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Then he happily competed with Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang in eating.
Shang Shiying liked her more and more as she looked at her. While helping Shen Luojia pick out the fish bones, she smiled and said to Fang Hua and the others, "I really like Luojia. Have you noticed that she is actually very smart? If she doesn't know how to do something, she will observe how others do it first before doing it herself."
Fang Hua had heard Shang Shiying praise Shen Luojia many times that afternoon, but the bottom line was that he regretted that this daughter was not his own.
He couldn't help but laugh: "No, you should talk to the Shen family and ask them to recognize Luo Jia as their goddaughter. I guarantee they'll agree without hesitation."
Shang Shiying thought about the faces of Shen Qingping and Liu Li and shook her head: "Then forget it, I don't want to have such a godparent relationship."
Fang Hua thought about it and agreed: "He's a good child, it's just that he wasn't born into a good family. We should quickly check if his grandmother is still alive."
Shen Luojia understood what he meant and suddenly looked up at the people on the table: "If Grandma isn't here, I'll kill them all!"
His expression was serious, and his tone was harsh.
Shang Shiying quickly advised, "That won't do. Murder is illegal. It's not worth it for someone like that."
Shen Luojia didn't say anything and continued eating with her head down; she was very determined about this idea.
After dinner, Shang Shiying asked Jiang Zhizhi to go home and bring over a clean set of her pajamas for Shen Luojia to change into.
Jiang Zhizhi hesitated for a moment: "Are you really going to let Luo Jia stay?"
While Li Simin and Zhou Xiye were talking outside, and Shen Luojia was playing wildly with Xiao Zhou in the courtyard, Shang Shiying whispered, "I have another reason for letting Luojia stay."
"Isn't Song Man coming back to live with us? I want everyone in the compound to see that I have a girl living in my house. They'll definitely guess, 'Could she be Si Min's girlfriend?'"
"I won't explain; let them misunderstand."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed, finding the idea both funny and exasperating: "Aunt, have you thought about this? It's not good for Luo Jia's reputation, after all, she's a young lady living in your house."
Shang Shiying didn't care: "It's okay, I've thought it through. As long as Luo Jia is willing, marrying Si Min isn't out of the question."
Jiang Zhizhi was shocked: "Would Brother Simin agree to that?"
This stumped Shang Shiying, and just as she was feeling frustrated, she heard Li Simin's voice from the courtyard, trying to break up the fight: "Luojia, let go, you can't hit her..."
