Sui Meng'er was complaining to her parents.
"Dad, didn't you say Li Ke had a bright future? Now he's married someone else, what am I going to do?"
Master Sui was also helpless. He had felt that the matter was about to be completed, but unfortunately, someone else had intercepted it.
However, Wang Sheng is also very promising, so choosing him should be a good decision.
“Daughter, stop thinking about Li Ke and send more soup to Wang Sheng.”
Sui Meng'er smiled shyly, "Father, I was just bringing you soup. As for the others, they were just incidental."
Master Sui smiled and nodded.
Sui Tang looked at the father and daughter with concern. Was this really a good thing?
Sui Meng'er actually thought Wang Sheng was better because Li Ke's family was too poor, and he didn't even have extra money to give her gifts.
The next day at noon, Sui Meng'er had her maid carry the soup and follow behind her as she slowly entered Master Sui's study.
"Dad, I've brought you some soup."
She glanced at Wang Sheng sitting in the chair and gave him a flirtatious wink.
Wang Sheng straightened his back and sat up even more upright.
"Meng'er, you've worked hard. Come on, Wang Sheng, have a taste too. Meng'er's cooking has been getting better and better lately."
Wang Sheng respectfully accepted the soup and drank it all in one gulp.
"This is so delicious! You've worked so hard, young lady. Thank you for your generous gift, my esteemed teacher!"
Master Sui stroked his beard; this Wang Sheng was quite eloquent.
During his lunch break, Wang Sheng saw Li Ke, who had recently gotten married and was at home. He remembered the soup from lunch and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Congratulations, Brother Li! Newlyweds, why don't you spend more time at home with your wife?"
Li Ke's face paled. He had been a little afraid of Madam Fan lately. Every time he saw her, her innocent big eyes seemed to accuse him of having someone else in his heart.
So as soon as the holiday ended, he immediately returned to the academy.
"Brother Wang is joking."
Looking at Li Ke, Wang Sheng felt a surge of pride. Meng'er used to treat him coldly, but she was much kinder to Li Ke than he was to himself.
Take that soup for example, it's the first time he's ever had it today. Before, it always belonged to Li Ke.
"Brother Li, Miss Meng'er's cooking skills are truly excellent. That soup was absolutely delicious, didn't you think?"
Li Ke was stunned. The person he had been longing for day and night was now actually sending soup to Wang Sheng?
"Also, Master has already agreed to my marriage proposal, Brother Li, I will be getting married soon."
Li Ke felt a pang of sadness. Yes, he was already married, and Meng'er should be getting married soon too.
Thinking back to how I was treated at the academy, and then thinking about how I went to visit the Master today, only to be told that the Master was not available today and that I should come another day.
The person hasn't even left yet, and the tea's already cold?
He suddenly felt a little disappointed and sad.
He went to sit alone in a secluded corner of the garden, a place he used to enjoy coming to alone to quietly contemplate problems.
"Miss, look over there is a purple flower, it's so pretty, I'll go pick it."
Sui Meng'er wanted to pick some fresh flowers in the garden to put in a vase, but before she knew it, she had wandered here.
She glanced at the place where she used to date Li Ke and unexpectedly spotted him.
"Brother Li, what are you doing here?"
Sui Meng'er felt a little awkward; she already felt that Li Ke was somewhat of a stranger.
Li Ke also felt that Sui Meng'er was a stranger. No matter how he looked at her, she was not as pretty as Fan Shi, nor did she have as good a figure as Fan Shi, and even her voice was not as pleasant as Fan Shi's.
Li Ke suddenly realized that he had terrible judgment; he had actually thought that Fan Shi was inferior to Sui Meng'er.
"Miss Sui, I'll be leaving now."
Li Ke suddenly realized that now that he was married, he should settle down and live a peaceful life.
Not to mention that Fan was such an interesting person.
He smiled slightly, a slight upturn to his lips. Once he understood, things became simple.
"Miss Sui, I suppose your wedding with Brother Wang is just around the corner. I wish you and Brother Wang a happy and fulfilling life together!"
Sui Meng'er was stunned. She didn't expect Li Ke to say that. Shouldn't he be heartbroken and secretly grieving?
A sense of loss welled up in Sui Meng'er's heart, as if something that belonged to her had been taken away by someone else.
Her expression changed, and she said in a trembling voice.
"Brother Li, I had no choice. I cannot disobey my parents' wishes. Why do you have to hurt me like this?"
Li Ke was taken aback. Why would Meng'er say that? She's getting married; shouldn't he congratulate her?
Fan Shi was different; she generously bid farewell to her former lover, saying that she wanted to live a good life with him.
Thinking about this, he felt even more the magnanimity of the Fan family.
“Miss Sui, there’s no future for us. You should stay with Brother Wang. I need to live my own life too. Let’s leave it at that and never see each other again.”
Sui Meng'er was even more indignant, and the flames in her heart grew stronger. Why? That Fan woman won Li Gege's heart as soon as she married him.
No, Brother Li's heart belongs to me.
As Sui Meng'er watched Li Ke walk away, she felt resentful and jealous, and her distorted face became even more unsightly.
The little maid was at a loss, holding the flowers and not daring to approach. Sui Meng'er ran over, snatched the flowers, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them a few times.
?
Li Ke felt completely refreshed and extremely comfortable. He longed for a day off so he could go back and reconcile with the Fan family.
The Li family worked hard selling pickled vegetable pancakes and steamed meat, but soon others imitated their business, and they lost their business.
Having tasted success, the Li family members were no longer willing to return to farming; instead, they started dabbling in business.
But I couldn't find a clue and didn't know what to do.
"Third son's wife, tell me, what can we do to make money?"
Xiao Li refused, "I don't get any of this money. I only get a few copper coins a day. I'm not doing this."
unless……"
Grandma Li quickly pressed on, "Unless what?"
"Unless I'm the one in charge at home, then I'll think of another way."
Old Mrs. Li glared at him. She had just begun to enjoy the pleasure of counting her coins every day, and she was not about to hand over the power of managing the household.
But Xiao Li was unmoved by any gentle persuasion or coercion.
In the end, Old Mrs. Li had no choice but to agree to let Xiaoli manage the household.
At this point, Xiao Li had taken control of the Li family's finances.
No matter what the reason, the whole family had to dote on Xiaoli. Even two-year-old Sandan listened to Xiaoli's every word.
I have to say, being the darling of the group is quite enjoyable.
On a dark and windy night, Xiao Li went to Fan Family Village and put all the silver that Fan's father and mother had hidden into her spatial storage.
These two are quite good at saving; their little treasury actually holds fifty-two taels of silver.
Xiao Li took fifty taels and didn't touch the rest. It was agreed that the money for selling herself was fifty taels, and she wouldn't take a penny more.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the surrounding area became lively. Xiao Li was strolling through the temple fair. Recently, she had often run into Tan Yong'an, but she always watched him from afar and did not approach him.
It seems he truly loved the original owner of this body; this couple is truly a pity.
After thinking about it, Xiao Li decided to go to the Sui residence tonight to see what was going on with the other party involved.
