Those old fogies and pedants have made comments on this book.
Oh, I hope Sister Li doesn’t hear it from other people and affect her mood for writing.
Li Yu didn't know what those self-proclaimed scholars thought of her books, and how did she, an old country woman, know that?
Of course, even if he knew, Li Yu would probably just laugh and say: I'm not doing academic research, I'm making money.
Do you understand how to make money?
Li Yu must be so happy now because she is rich.
He has entered the ranks of people with a fortune of one hundred taels of silver.
It's time for another family meeting, and today happens to be Lin He's day off.
She was happy today and was a little absorbed in shopping when she returned home. She bought herself a silver bracelet and a silver hairpin for Lin Mei and Yang Liu respectively.
Of course, they were not very expensive, each one would not cost more than one or two taels of silver. She still understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
When Li Yu first returned home, Aunt Lin San, Wang Yulan, came to visit. Li Yu was puzzled because they rarely had visitors. It was partly because the family was very busy and rarely went out all day, and partly because of the original owner's personality.
"Third sister-in-law, come in and sit down. Why did you think of coming here today? Is there something wrong?" Li Yu asked her.
Aunt Lin San was a little embarrassed to speak: "Second sister-in-law, this is it. Isn't Ruoruo getting married next month? I'd like to shamelessly ask Second sister-in-law to prepare the banquet for me."
So that's what it was. It was possible, but Li Yu was worried she wouldn't be able to cook it well. Making it at home wasn't the same as at a banquet. She had never done it before, so it must have been very tiring.
Li Yu thought so and said: "Sister-in-law, logically I shouldn't refuse, but you should also know that I have no experience in preparing banquets, and there will definitely be a lot of people that day. I'm worried that I won't be able to cook well, and won't that cause you trouble?"
"It makes sense for you to think so. Look at me, I was just thinking about how delicious your cooking is, and I didn't think about these things. Don't blame me, second sister-in-law." Wang said to her.
Li Yu thought about it and came up with an idea: "This way, you can still invite the person you should invite to cook, and he will do his job well.
I'll come over to help, and call Yang Liu to join me. I should be able to make three or five of my signature dishes. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Aunt Lin San was delighted when she heard this: "That's it, Second Sister-in-law. Thank you so much. Ruoruo's husband is the youngest son of the head of Taowan Village next door. His father and I want to give him some face, so we shamelessly come to trouble you, Second Sister-in-law."
All parents want their children to live a better life, and Li Yu can understand that.
She said to Wang Yulan, "Look at what you're saying. Isn't Ruoruo my niece? Is this little favor worth it?"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Yulan did not linger any longer. She stood up and said goodbye, leaving two pounds of meat.
Li Yu quickly grabbed her and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Take it back and feed it to the children. I don't need any food here. Let's go together. Bring some meat."
"I know you don't lack meat, but just consider it as a token of our appreciation. We shouldn't ask you to help us for nothing. Don't refuse it, or the children's father will scold me when we get back." Wang said.
After hearing what she said, Li Yu did not refuse anymore. After all, she was really not used to the idea of pushing and giving in. When she was a child, she always felt like they were fighting when she saw the villagers pushing and giving in for things.
Is it my turn now? Time is indeed a butcher's knife.
Li Yu carried the meat and walked Wang to the door. He said to her, "Let Ruoruo prepare for her wedding well. Her second aunt will give her a generous gift when the time comes. Girls are always nervous before their wedding. I'll ask Meimei to go over and keep her company in a couple of days."
"Hey! Sorry to bother you, second sister-in-law. Please come in quickly." After saying that, he left.
Li Yu brought the meat into the kitchen, and Yang Liu had already started preparing dinner.
Li Yu handed the meat over. "Your Third Aunt brought it over. You knead the dough. I'm going to make us a twice-cooked pork and bean stew with noodles today."
Yang quickly began to knead the dough, and as she worked, she asked Li Yu, "Mother, is Third Aunt here to discuss Sister Ruoruo's wedding? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Yes, but we will only help out on that day. We will stop setting up the stall for one day. We don't have anything to do during these few days." Li Yu said.
Yang Liu nodded.
Just make one dish, stir-fried pork with green beans, and it's ready quickly.
After dinner, the family sat together again.
Li Yu first took out two books and gave one to Lin Mei and one to Lin He. "Don't you want to read the storybook written by your mother? Here it is."
After that, he said a little embarrassedly: "I just thought of a story when I was bored, and thought of writing it down. I didn't expect that the bookstore owner thought the story was good and made it into a book. Don't make fun of me after reading it."
Lin Hai and his wife only now knew that their mother had written a storybook and even made it into a book.
Yang Liu was speechless. She felt that her mother-in-law was simply the God of Literature who had descended to earth. She could even write books. What else could she not do?
Lin Hai was more straightforward: "Mom, you wouldn't say that Xiaobao's mom and I are the only ones in our family who don't know that what you wrote has been published as a book, right?"
Li Yu nodded guiltily and said, "You guessed right, you two are the only ones who don't know."
