The five children immediately greeted Meng Fuyan and exchanged pleasantries before sitting down. With Li Hongjun absent, the head of the family had to put on a bit of airs, after all, Meng Fuyan was the younger generation.
Meng Fuyan placed the gift on the table and said with a smile, "It's the New Year, this is a small gift for your uncle and aunt, I hope they won't mind."
"No, no, I don't mind at all. You silly child, you should just come and play during the New Year. Why are you still here..."
When Chen Xiulian saw the pile of gifts on the table, she was speechless.
I had already seen Meng Fuyan carrying large bags and small packages outside, but she was an adult and the mistress of the Li family. She had seen plenty of valuable items, so she couldn't just keep staring at a junior's gifts, could she?
So I didn't see clearly what exactly they were.
Now I see...this...
Why would a young girl give so many gifts?
Looking across the way, sure enough, the two eldest sons were still managing to keep their composure, while the three younger ones had already succumbed.
Their eyes were fixed on the pastries, beef jerky, dried fruit, and oranges.
Although the beef jerky was wrapped in kraft paper, the smell was so strong that she could smell it, let alone the three smaller ones who were closer.
Meng Fuyan also saw it, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. The Li family's upbringing was still very good. Although the three children were attracted, none of them touched the pages. Even when they were attracted, they tried their best to control their eyes and not stare at it. They would force themselves to change their gaze from time to time. They were so cute!
Chen Xiulian, having seen the world, only paused for a moment before calming down. "Why did you bring a gift? You're a young lady who has to take care of your younger brother. It should be your aunt visiting you."
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "Auntie has so many children at home and has to work every day. She can only rest during the New Year. How could I trouble Auntie to come and see me? I'm all grown up now and everything is fine. It's just that I'm at home for the New Year, so of course I have to come and visit all the elders."
The Li family was already keen to befriend them, and since both sides were interested, it was easy for them to talk. They chatted happily for a while, and Meng Yunji soon joined the other children in playing with a bunch of treats from his pocket.
After talking for a while, Li Hongjun came out. Finally, Chen Xiulian went to cook, while Meng Fuyan talked to Li Hongjun.
"Uncle Li, besides wishing you a Happy New Year, I also want to ask you for a small favor."
Finally, it arrived, and Li Hongjun was extremely curious.
"Oh? You're too kind, child. What's wrong with asking your uncle for a favor? Just say so. If it's something I can do, I will definitely help you."
"Thank you, Uncle. It's nothing really. I just heard that my eldest brother's uncle, the youngest son of the Qin family, has been getting into a lot of trouble lately, but he's been trying to evade responsibility. I was wondering if Uncle Li could have someone investigate and get Uncle Qin locked up for a while."
The entire living room fell silent; Li Hongjun was stunned!
Uncle Qin?
Isn't that Lu Jianjun's brother-in-law?
