Li Qiumei looked around and saw that it was already dark.
When she returned home, she found that Li Qiuxiang and her son had already arrived. They had even prepared dinner for her and were waiting for her to come back.
Cheng Zhiqian asked her: "Qiumei, where have you been?"
Li Qiumei breathed a sigh of relief: "I met my second aunt and sent her home, which delayed me for a while."
Li Qiumei didn't tell them the rest.
Her mind was a mess right now, but she didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
When she went to bed at night, Cheng Zhiqian asked her, "Qiumei, what happened?
I see you look uneasy."
Li Qiumei thought about it and decided to tell Cheng Zhiqian what had happened.
"Cheng Zhiqian, do you think this was an accident?"
Cheng Zhiqian pondered for a moment: "Did you notice what Qian Jinguo's expression was like at that time?"
Li Qiumei shook her head. "No, I was so frightened that I couldn't pay attention to these details. Do you suspect Qian Jinguo?"
"Qian Jinguo is definitely the primary suspect.
Don't think about it, you should go to bed early.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I still have to buy groceries."
Mentioning this, Li Qiumei became angry: “Cheng Zhiqian, what does your sister mean?
Does this mean you don’t want to celebrate the New Year with us, or with me?
Then you'd better not call her over, to avoid a quarrel during the New Year, it's unlucky!"
Cheng Zhiqian just said: "Qiumei, you are..."
Li Qiumei interrupted him: "I am the eldest sister-in-law, but if she keeps giving me a hard time like this, I won't keep up the fight."
Cheng Zhiqian had no choice but to shut up.
Here, Cheng Zhiwen is talking to Cheng Zhishan.
"Zhishan, since you promised your elder brother, you should fulfill your promise and help him clean up early.
If you do this, it will only make it difficult for your elder brother to be caught between you and your sister-in-law.
Don’t you think about it? Our parents are gone, and we were all raised by our eldest brother. His and his wife’s home is our home.
When you get married in the future, they will have to take care of your family, so why can't you let it go?"
Cheng Zhishan snorted coldly: "When I get married in the future, I won't arrange a wedding ceremony. We can just go on a trip and get married.
As for my mother's family, without my mother, where would it be?
My brother and sister-in-law can never be my mother’s family.
I am self-aware of this.”
Cheng Zhiwen sighed: "Zhishan, why don't you be so stubborn?
We are all going to my sister-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year tomorrow, what are you going to do?"
Cheng Zhishan shook her head. "I've already applied for overtime. Working overtime during the Spring Festival pays me more than usual."
Cheng Zhiwen had no idea what to do with this stubborn sister: "Zhishan, you will regret this."
Cheng Zhishan didn't say anything. Her outstanding elder brother was actually taken away by the pig Li Qiumei.
It makes me angry just thinking about it. It’s a pity that my eldest brother didn’t listen to her, otherwise, how could Li Qiumei marry him.
If my parents were alive, they would definitely not agree.
Early the next morning, Li Qiumei got up and went shopping for groceries with Li Qiuxiang.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, they met Yang Huaihua standing there holding her son.
Yang Huaihua asked her in surprise: "Qiumei, are you here to buy vegetables too?"
Li Qiumei hummed and walked over to tease her son.
"Sister Hua, there's another baby?"
Yang Huaihua pointed to a place not far away: "Yang Yingsong is over there with them."
"Are you two taking the kids out to buy groceries?"
Yang Huaihua sighed: "My mother-in-law is coming over to buy groceries, but the two children don't want to go with us and insist on going with their grandmother.
Yang Yingsong and I came along to look after the children, while my mother-in-law and two aunts were inside buying groceries.
Seeing Li Qiumei coming, Yang Yingsong picked up his son and walked over.
"Qiumei, I really admire you. How did you take care of the twins by yourself?
Now, Huahua and I are too busy to take care of one each."
Li Qiumei smiled and said, "Qian Dan and Qian Lei are inseparable wherever they go. Every time I go out, I carry one on my back and hold the other in my arms."
Yang Yingsong opened his eyes wide: "What? Your family is inseparable?
Why is it that when our family goes out, one goes left and the other goes right, and we have to look after them alone, so you don’t know who to catch first? "
Yang Huaihua nodded: "That's right, the two of them fight all day long at home, and they both want to grab the same things.
I even suspect they had a grudge against each other in their past lives."
Li Qiumei chuckled: "Okay, let's get together again in two days. Let's go in and buy some groceries."
When I came out after buying the vegetables, Yang Huaihua and the others had already left.
Li Qiuxiang said enviously, "Qiu Mei, this Sister Hua is also a blessed person. She married so well in her second marriage."
Li Qiumei smiled and asked her, "Sister, do you want to find another one?"
Li Qiuxiang was a little embarrassed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Her sister didn't refuse outright like before, which meant she was willing.
"Then I'll ask my aunt to help you keep an eye on it. If it's suitable, then marry. If not, then just live on your own with Xiaopeng."
Li Qiuxiang agreed reluctantly.
Li Qiumei was happy for her sister. She finally figured it out and was willing to move forward.
Sister Li Qiumei cooked a table full of delicious dishes, which made Cheng Zhiming and Zhou Xiaopeng so greedy that they kept circling around the table.
With the two of them teasing Yuanbao, Yuanbao's giggling never stopped.
Halfway through the meal, Cheng Zhiming took out a red paper bag and stuffed it into Yuanbao's hand.
"Yuanbao, this is the New Year's money my uncle gave you."
Cheng Zhiheng burst out laughing: "Cheng Zhiming, I didn't expect you to be so capable.
He actually played the trick of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha on me.
You asked me for money last night, it turned out you were sending a red envelope to Yuanbao.
That's not right. I remember you used the money to buy firecrackers this morning."
Cheng Zhiming swallowed the meat in his mouth and said: "You gave me fifty cents, I bought twenty-cent firecrackers, and the remaining thirty cents is for Yuanbao."
Li Qiumei was also happy when she heard it: "Zhiming, you finally passed the math test.
Your intentions are known to us, so you can keep the money to buy things for yourself."
Cheng Zhiming shook his head: "Sister-in-law, this is for Yuanbao. Please hold it for him. I don't want it."
After saying that, he hurried to pick up the meat and eat it.
I have to admit that although Cheng Zhiming is not good at studying, he has a high emotional intelligence.
Li Qiuxiang looked at Zhou Xiaopeng and said, "Zhiming is a very smart kid. He is worthy of going to school in the city. He has seen a lot and knows a lot.
Xiaopeng, you are two years older than Zhiming, so you should learn from him in the future."
Zhou Xiaopeng took out fifty cents from his trouser pocket: "Yuanbao, this is for you, brother."
Cheng Zhiming laughed at him: "Brother Xiaopeng, you are learning and applying it right away."
Cheng Zhiming took the lead, and everyone gave New Year's money to Yuanbao, Cheng Zhiming and Zhou Xiaopeng.
Cheng Zhiwen took out two red envelopes: "Sister-in-law, this is from Zhishan to Yuanbao."
Li Qiumei smiled and said, "Then thank her on my behalf.
I'll pack some food for her and send it over later."
