Lianyi did not bring her grandson this time. Instead, she asked Lu Anli to take her car and went to the city alone.
As usual, Lu Anli picked up Lianyi at the station and headed for the city. He kept talking on the way because there were only the two of them here, so he spoke without hesitation.
"Sister, has your daughter's premature love problem been completely resolved?"
"Although it was a mistake, the result was better than I expected."
"That's good, but big sister, the actors who were invited to perform made a wasted trip. Although they didn't appear in the show, I have already paid them the deposit and I won't ask for it back."
Lu Anli still explained.
"I can't let them make a wasted trip, so I'll just consider it as a thank you. The money is mine."
Ripple said generously.
"Sister, you have put a lot of thought into your daughter. You even went a long way to find someone to act in the play. To make it more realistic, you even specifically found someone from the village where Feng Nianhua went to work.
This young widow had indeed spread gossips with Feng Nianhua, but it was designed by the young widow herself, hoping to hook up with the young man. However, after only a few days of gossip, the family of three returned to the city. "
Lu Anli helped with this matter, and he had a car, so it was convenient for him to travel back and forth. In order to make it convenient for Lianyi, he found this foreign aid.
"Hey! My daughter is quite well-behaved, but she is still young and has no experience. If I forcefully talk to her, it's hard to say whether she will listen or not. I'm afraid she will become rebellious and go against me, which would just push her further away.
So after thinking about it, I decided that it would be best for me to pretend that I didn't know. After all, the two of them were just at the stage of having feelings for each other and wouldn't do anything out of line. Plus, if I asked someone to act out a play, it should be enough to make them break up."
Ripple has nothing to hide.
“Hehe, some things are destined by heaven, I didn’t expect that a robber would expose the young man’s true colors.
I had the young widow in my car with me, waiting to block them on the main road. But I saw Feng Nianhua running out of the alley first, and he ran away without looking back, running faster than a rabbit.
I felt something was wrong, so I got out of the car and was about to go to the alley to check, when I saw your daughter running out of the alley and almost bumping into me.
After a while, a man wearing a hat came out with his legs clamped together. It was obvious that he had been kicked in the vitals. I saw that something was not right and wanted to chase the man, but the young widow stopped me. She said that Feng Nianhua had run away and asked whether I should chase him.
I wasn't sure what happened, so I sent the young widow to the station first. When I came back, I happened to see you, my daughter and the police entering the alley, so I acted as a caring person."
Lu Anli explained what had happened before in just a few words.
“So, sometimes things just happen.”
Ripple said with a smile.
The two of them arrived in the city while talking. This time the car drove directly to the door of a foreign-related store. Lianyi entered the store carrying a cloth backpack that she had sewn herself.
The young man who had received her last time immediately brightened up when he saw Lianyi. He walked out from behind the counter and said with a smile on his face:
"Master Luo, you are here!"
"Well, there is another embroidery piece that has appeared recently. I'll bring it to you to see."
Lianyi accepted the title of master with a smile. After all, her embroidery skills were there.
"Master Luo, please come in!"
The young man took Lianyi directly to the office.
After entering the office, Lianyi did not waste any time and went straight to the point, taking out her second embroidery. This time it was an embroidery of flowers in full bloom, mainly with peonies as the theme. The postures of the peonies on both sides were different, but they were also delicate and bright.
"Master Luo is truly a master. This work is no worse than the previous ones."
The young man praised.
Because this work was smaller, the price couldn't be compared to the first one, and it was finally sold for 3,000 yuan.
Lianyi was not greedy. She let the other party deposit the money into her passbook as usual. She was very happy when she saw the increasing numbers on the passbook.
He went to the department store to buy some snacks, bought a writing brush and a tracing book for Dabao, and then took Lu Anli to a state-owned restaurant for a meal, as a way of thanking Lu Anli for his help before.
After Lianyi returned home, she went next door to pick up Dabao, gave the milk powder she bought for Beibei to her mother-in-law, and the two chatted about family matters for a while.
Although Li Juan's mother was an old lady with bound feet, she was quite knowledgeable and could chat with Lianyi. Seeing how kind Lianyi was to her granddaughter, she also talked about her three sons in the family with a smile.
"These debt collectors brought me some rotten apples from somewhere during the Chinese New Year, and they even wanted me to go back and cook a New Year's Eve dinner for their family. I don't know where they got the nerve to do that. I kicked them out!"
"You're right! My dear, you don't lack food or drink now, and you get money from your daughter every month. You just need to help take care of the children. Your life is so comfortable, why do you want to go back and be a nanny?"
Lianyi was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she immediately expressed her support for the old lady's decision.
"That's right. My son-in-law is so good to me, and Beibei is easy to take care of. It doesn't take much effort. I feel more comfortable and live in a more spacious place than in the homes of those unfilial sons. I would be a fool to go back and be their nanny."
The old lady said with a smile.
“That’s right, stay here and help Juanzi.
I have to take care of Dabao more in the next two years. After all, the child is too young and has lost his father. His mother is gone too. Qingmei is in her third year of high school this year, which is a critical year. Whether she can get into college depends on this year. Qinghai also has to take the high school entrance exam, so my in-laws have to work harder. "
Lianyi also explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, dear in-laws. I know what's going on. It's not easy for you either. My four children have all started their own families and careers. I can't just leave them alone. You still have to work hard for another two years. Besides, Juanzi is my daughter and Beibei is my granddaughter. How can I not help them?"
Mother Li said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and after Dabao finished reading a short story book, the grandparents and grandchildren returned to their own yard.
That evening, when Qingmei came home from school, she took Lianyi's arm and said:
"Mom, our school will have a performance next month for its anniversary celebration. We invite everyone to watch the show. You should go too!"
"Okay, I'll take Dabao to watch it. What show will you perform?"
"The song and dance that my classmates and I rehearsed is 'On the Fields of Hope'."
"Then I will definitely go to see my daughter's performance."
After Lianyi agreed, she began to think about taking this opportunity to get close to Feng Nianhua and get rid of the evil spirit.
On the other side, Feng Nianhua had no idea that he was about to get into trouble. At this moment, he was rehearsing a poetry recitation, preparing to stand out at the school anniversary celebration, and then approach the next target chosen for him by the elf in the bead.
The evil spirit repeatedly ran into obstacles with the Song family, so it chose to bypass this iron plate temporarily. After lying dormant for a while and seeing that the Song family did not react further, it started to make trouble again.
On March 1st, Lianyi dressed up a little, put on new clothes, and took the well-behaved and cute Dabao to the town’s No. 1 Middle School to watch the show.
"Mom, Dabao, this way!"
Song Qingmei, wearing her performance costume, waved to Lianyi at the door of the auditorium.
