Chapter 634 Father and Mother will follow their son.
What did Li San Niang see?
In a large area next to the wool products section, there was a sign that said "duck down comforter". Not only was there a sign for "goose down comforter" on the other side!
Li San Niang lifted her leg and headed over there. When she got closer, she walked around the area carefully twice before realizing that there really were no down jackets available, and then she gave up.
"What good stuff is it that made you keep coming up to look?"
At this moment, a waiter came up to introduce the quilt to the two of them, summarizing it as "lightweight, warm, and space-saving".
However, due to technological limitations, this quilt naturally has its drawbacks: it sheds feathers and has a slight odor.
Moreover, the price of this quilt is really too expensive. The price of one quilt is probably equivalent to half a year's expenses for a family.
Li San Niang wanted to buy a down comforter for Lu Zhu'er, but Lu Zhu'er didn't like it. She said, "Mother, it smells like a duck."
Therefore, Li San Niang naturally did not buy it.
Next, Li's mother led Li San Niang and the others to browse the supermarket for more than an hour, buying everything from food to daily necessities, from a few copper coins to dozens of taels of silver, and they had a great time.
What made Li's mother feel that the trip was worthwhile was that when paying the bill, because the Li family bought a lot, they not only received a discount, but also a free membership card. At the same time, the shop assistant said to Li's mother, "Auntie, you can accumulate points here. Once you collect 500 points, you can get 100 coins."
Before the New Year, our boss held a promotion where if you bought a lot, you could participate in three lucky draws.
The lucky draw is on the right side of the entrance; the top prize is five taels of silver.
Li's mother, who had initially thought that she had spent too much money today, suddenly felt that the money was well spent after hearing these words.
Because they bought so many things, Li Erxiong and Li Sanlang made two trips back and forth before finally putting everything back on the carriage.
However, the carriage was already filled with things, so it was no longer suitable for anyone to sit in it.
Finally, after calling two more horse-drawn carriages, Li Erxiong managed to bring the whole family and all the things they had bought home.
By the time everyone returned home, the sun had already set.
Even the most energetic Kogoro was carried home in the arms of the tenth brother.
Having played all day, Kogoro, still holding candy in his hand, fell asleep in the carriage on his way home.
Li Erxiong was busy paying the driver, and Li's mother and the others were also busy with their own work. In the end, only Lao Shi had time, so he was allowed to take Xiao Wulang home.
Wu Qiaolan and Li Ersao were quite surprised as they watched the people carrying their belongings home.
"Mother, why did you buy so many old ones?"
While Li's mother was busy sorting through the fabrics she had bought, she said to Li's second sister-in-law without turning her head, "The price is right. At the end of the year, everyone in the family needs to have a new outfit made."
"Don't just stand there, come and help!"
It took a while to sort and categorize everything. Now, Li's mother has specially found out the things she wanted to send to Li Dalang.
"Once I've packed everything up, Erlang, go find a caravan on the street and send it to them before the New Year, so that Tiger Head can have a better life while he's away."
Li Erxiong readily agreed, "Mother, after dinner that night, let's write a letter and send it along with the package, so that the officials won't have to come to collect it."
Li Sanniang asked from the side, "Is this caravan faster, or the official caravan?"
"Of course, the official caravan is faster. Without the burden of packages, there are post stations along the way for fast horses, so it will definitely be much faster than a merchant caravan."
"It's better to hand the letter over to the officials. In case something happens on the way, at least the letter will be delivered to Tiger Head safely."
After thinking about it, Li's mother felt that what Li San Niang said made sense. "Then let's listen to San Niang. Separate the letter and the bundle. It's safer that way."
Li San Niang called out to Li Er Xiong, "Second Brother, when you send the bundle, please send mine to Shijiu and Doctor Sun as well."
Nineteen has been protecting me for a long time, and I asked someone to help take care of Nineteen at the Sun Medical Supervisor's office. I feel both concern and gratitude, and I want to make sure both are taken care of.
"Sure, I'll call you then."
The Li family had a makeshift dinner tonight because Li's mother was busy distributing the items they bought that day to each room and keeping track of the money.
Yes, the items we bought today were distributed to each room, but the cost will be calculated, and it won't be counted as a public item.
Currently, the Li family only accounts for meals and social obligations together; for everything else, each family pays according to the amount spent and a certain percentage.
Actually, to be honest, although Li San Niang and Lu Zhu'er only had the mother and daughter on their side, Qiu Xiang and Lao Shi should also be counted on Li San Niang's side.
Therefore, from each party's perspective, it's difficult to determine who actually benefited from whom.
However, you can't see into someone's heart; who can know what someone is really thinking?
Earlier, because of the things that Li Ersao had done out of jealousy, Li's mother had privately said to Li Sanniang, "You three siblings are all my children. You are the youngest. Apart from the fact that your father and I doted on you more when you were young, in reality, the expenses on the three of you are not much different."
Especially after your eldest and second eldest brothers got married, I tried my best to maintain the balance in the family.
I don't think I've been biased towards any of you, but who would have thought that your second sister-in-law would still think this way?
Sigh, running this household is tough.
When Li San Niang heard Li's mother's complaints, she really didn't know what to say.
After all, when Brother Li proposed to Sister-in-law Li, she, as the sister-in-law, had no say in the matter.
The idea of marrying someone of equal social standing has been a very reasonable principle since ancient times. But once a wife has been married and several children have been born, can she still be divorced?
“Hey, your father and I were saying that if it weren’t for the circumstances, we would have just moved in with you and Luzhu’er. We don’t want to get involved in the affairs of our sons.”
This large family, more than a dozen people, living together—how could they not clash? How could they not have conflicts?
Li San Niang could only comfort her mother in this way: "Mother, this is already considered good."
Our family's wealth is already quite impressive, with a house and a courtyard. It's truly remarkable.
If you go to other families, you'll see a large family of more than ten people living in a cramped courtyard, seeing each other all the time. How could there not be conflicts?
They might even start fighting.
Li San Niang approached Li's mother, took her arm, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, when the nephews grow up, this house really won't be big enough for them."
When the time comes, Mother and Father will divide the family property among my eldest and second eldest brothers, and Mother and Father will stay with me. I will live with Mother and Father for the rest of my life.
Mother Li raised her hand and tapped Li San Niang's forehead, "You, even if you separate from the family again, where will you stay with your mother?"
"If you're going to come along, it will be with your eldest or second eldest brother."
"I don't care, I don't care, anyway, my mother and father will be with me then."
