As the sun climbed to the top of their heads, Li Guifang dragged Li Mingjuan to the state-owned restaurant. As soon as they entered, they shouted to the waiter, "Give me an order of braised pork and two bowls of rice!"
Li Mingjuan was stunned. What was wrong with her mother today? She was so picky about the meat she bought, but now she was willing to go out to eat braised pork?
Did something happen that she didn't know about? Like, she made a fortune...
Li Guifang poked the braised pork with her chopsticks, splattering oil onto the tabletop. "What's up? Do you think the dish your mother ordered isn't presentable?"
She squinted her eyes and looked at her daughter. "Or... is it because Liu Wei takes you out to eat every day that you've become a picky eater?"
Li Mingjuan subconsciously shook her head when she heard her mother's words. The chopsticks in her hand dropped onto the table with a "clack". She quickly picked them up and wiped them on her collar: "Mom! What are you talking about..."
Her ears turned red, and she lowered her head to eat her rice so hard that she almost choked on it.
Li Guifang snorted, picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and lean parts, and pressed it on the rice to let the gravy soak into the rice grains.
Li Guifang ignored what she said and just focused on eating. She ate with a smacking sound and licked the tips of her chopsticks from time to time!
Seeing this, Li Mingjuan also hurried to eat.
In an instant, the only sound left from the mother and daughter was the chewing of their food.
A state-owned restaurant is a state-owned restaurant. The braised pork is brightly colored, tender and tasty, and the soup is enough to soak up the rice for three bowls.
After the meal, Li Mingjuan was ready to go back with Li Guifang. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was slapped by Li Guifang.
"Hui Hui, what are you talking about? If the neighbors saw your bags of food, they would think we were broke and needed our daughter to help us."
Before Li Mingjuan could react, Li Guifang continued, "Or do you want people to see you carrying so much food back from your mother's house that they can accuse you of going home to collect money?"
Li Guifang didn't care what her second daughter thought. She only knew that she had predicted the public's prediction.
If Li Mingyuan heard from others that the family had a lot of food for the second daughter, what would happen!
The couple would have to come back and make a big fuss; or, what if their second daughter fell into their sight and they set their sights on the Liu family?
In the previous life, Li Mingjuan and Li Mingyuan were so united in their sympathy for Kai, which was inseparable from the fact that Li Mingjuan spent money on betting on Li Mingyuan.
This connection began when Li Mingjuan lent money to Li Mingyuan for his postgraduate studies. From then on, Li Mingjuan became Li Mingyuan's cash cow.
It was around this time in her previous life that Li Mingjuan returned to her parents' home, bringing with her a lot of things in large and small bags.
While several neighbors were chattering, Li Mingyuan and his wife, who were going home to get money, heard it all.
Later, he used both coaxing and deception to steal all the things Li Mingjuan sent him and sold them. He even went to Liu's house to find Li Mingjuan and Liu Wei.
Li Mingyuan spoke in a coherent manner, leaving the couple stunned.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Li Guifang decided to change from the source.
Although it was inevitable for Li Mingyuan to squeeze money out of Li Mingjuan,
However, if directly or indirectly, because of her, Li Guifang, Li Mingyuan had set his sights on Li Mingjuan and Li Mingjuan's husband's family, she would still feel guilty.
The first change was that Li Guifang directly rejected Li Mingjuan's idea of going home with her.
"Li Mingjuan, let me tell you, you are married now, you are also a mother, the most important thing for you now is
Live a good life in the Liu family, take good care of your children, and don't get involved in the messy affairs of your mother's family."
Seeing her daughter trying to defend herself, she glared at her and said, "Your brothers are all big and strong, are they missing any arms or legs? You're always thinking about asking your married sister for support, are you shameless?"
What will others say about me and your dad? Now that we have a stable life, it’s better than anything else.”
Li Guifang looked at her second daughter's silly look, and her words became more serious.
"If I hear you secretly giving money and food to your mother's family again..." Li Guifang picked up the broom and pretended to hit her, "I'll throw all your good things into the river! What are you still standing there for?
Is it that I don’t have to clean up the house or that I don’t have to go to work in the afternoon?”
Li Mingjuan wanted to say something to her mother, but her mother stopped her with a look and she hurried home.
Li Guifang looked at her daughter, who was still a little silly, and felt satisfied. She was a little silly, but now she was sensible and filial.
She is completely different from the second daughter in later generations, whose eyes are full of calculations and who is sharp and mean.
What's more, fools have luck. In the 1990s, Li Mingjuan picked up some money and bought a lottery ticket, which made her win 10,000 yuan.
That was 10,000 yuan in the 1990s. At that time, people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan would be reported in the newspapers. With this 10,000 yuan, she would become a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.
Although he did not become rich later, he had enough food and clothing.
But because of this 10,000 yuan, she was immediately noticed by the eldest son's wife, Lin Yaqin, who dressed her up every day and took her to keep up with the fashion trends.
Gradually, the two of them became so close that they were like a pair of pants and became good friends.
Lin Yaqin was half responsible for Li Mingjuan's final transformation into that horrible state.
Li Guifang watched the girl disappear around the corner before she leisurely walked home.
Li Guifang hummed a tune as she opened the door, and was met head-on by the two pairs of dark eyes in the main room.
She was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the eldest couple had left their two children to her when they ran away last night.
"Grandma~." The two children spoke crisply.
