Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Lin Wan nodded a little embarrassedly.
Aunt Wang didn't ask any further questions. She just smiled faintly and was happy to see that the couple were doing well.
After a while, Li Mu quickly prepared three dishes and a soup.
When Li Mu brought the dishes in, he saw Aunt Wang and Lin Wan chatting and doing handicrafts. Ruoruo was squatting beside them in her skirt, playing with a clockwork frog.
When Ruoruo saw Li Mu coming in, she immediately put down the frog in her hand and ran towards Li Mu.
"Don't come over here. Dad is holding the food. If you don't hold it steady, you won't be able to eat it."
Before Ruoruo could run in, Li Mu spoke urgently.
Ruoruo was a little unhappy. She stood there and snorted, then turned her head away and stopped looking at Li Mu.
Seeing her daughter so cute, she smiled and shouted to the two people who were still chatting on the side:
"It's time to eat, Xiaowan, aunt."
...
...
The two of them looked up at the same time, glanced at Li Mu and nodded.
When Aunt Wang saw the meal made by Li Mu on the table, her eyes were full of satisfaction, but her face did not show it and she kept an expressionless look.
After putting down the dishes, Li Mu hugged his daughter and prepared to go out to serve other dishes.
Before Li Mu could leave, Aunt Wang stood up and said, "I'll go get it. You guys gave me canned food and treated me to a meal. I can't take advantage of my age."
"No, no... just let him go." Lin Wan grabbed Aunt Wang's hand as she was about to get up and pointed at Li Mu.
Li Mu understood immediately and went to the kitchen quickly.
Now seeing that Li Mu listened to Lin Wan so much, Aunt Wang was still a little surprised. Li Mu, who always bullied Lin Wan when he drank, could actually be so obedient.
During the meal, Aunt Wang was constantly observing Li Mu. She saw whether Li Mu was picking up food for Lin Wan during breaks in the meal. Lin Wan's attitude towards Li Mu was neither cold nor indifferent, but if you look closely, you can still see that Lin Wan is slowly forgiving him in her heart. Ruoruo became even more attached to Li Mu and only wanted Li Mu to feed her.
When Aunt Wang saw Li Mu like this, her idea that Li Mu was just pretending for two days was completely shattered.
Not long after the meal, she told the couple to live a good life and to come to her directly if they needed any help. Then Aunt Wang got up and went back without disturbing them any further.
..........
After Aunt Wang left.
Lin Wan couldn't wait to ask Li Mu: "What did you say to Aunt Wang?"
Li Mu smiled and said nothing, but just kept cleaning up the dishes silently.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Lin Wan became even more curious. She walked closer to Li Mu and kept asking questions beside him.
"It's nothing, actually. Aunt Wang just blames me for not treating you well, she doesn't hate me. She has seen the changes in me now, so naturally she won't say anything. In the future, bring a portion of whatever you buy to Aunt Wang, it's not easy for Aunt Wang either."
Hearing that Li Mu was not embarrassed by Aunt Wang, Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at Li Mu, sat on the stool and played with Ruoruo.
..........
"Brother, I'm here!" Zhou Qiang raised his head and looked into the yard from time to time.
Li Mu, who was still packing, saw Zhou Qiang from the window. He immediately put down what he was holding and asked Zhou Qiang to come in and sit down.
After Li Mu's signal, Zhou Qiang went into the inner room with a variety of candies and canned foods in his hands.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Li Mu looked at Zhou Qiang in confusion.
Zhou Qiang ignored her and put the things on the table. Then he went to hug Ruoruo and teased her from time to time.
Lin Wan saw the things on the table and asked, "Qiangzi, you must have spent a lot of money on these things. Why waste money? We already have them at home."
"It's for Ruoruo. It didn't cost much. I just wanted to buy it for Ruoruo. By the way, brother, are we going to catch eels later?" Zhou Qiang changed the subject in time to prevent Li Mu and his wife from continuing to ask about the afternoon.
Li Mu looked at Zhou Qiang like this, and didn't continue talking until he just wanted to thank him. After thinking for a while, Li Mu said:
"No, I'll take you up the mountain later. The Ganoderma lucidum we saw last time was of good quality. Let's go get some first. They're not much more expensive than eels."
"Okay!" Zhou Qiang was excited when he thought about the huge amount of money Li Mu made today.
Speaking of Ganoderma lucidum, Li Mu remembered that he had not yet given Lin Wan the money from today's sales. He rummaged through the inner pocket of his clothes, took out a large bundle of Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was a little shocked when she saw the big unity that Li Mu handed over. She took it and counted it with an incredible look on her face. There were still about four thousand yuan left.
Lin Wan said to herself: "So many?"
"Well, the quality is pretty good, so the price is relatively high. Wanwan, now you can think about taking a leave of absence and staying at home to take care of Ruoruo."
Li Mu once again brought up the issue of unpaid leave. Lin Wan was a little slow to react and nodded subconsciously.
Seeing Lin Wan like this, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since you nodded, I'll take it as your agreement."
"Oh... No... Never mind. You're making a lot of money now. I'll do it tomorrow. You don't have to wash the dishes. Just follow Qiangzi and do your work. Don't worry about us."
Lin Wan wanted to object, but when she thought about how much she worked so hard but still earned less than Li Mu from selling Ganoderma lucidum, she decided to agree. She could also take good care of the children at home, so why not do it?
Hearing Lin Wan say this, Li Mu took out two small knives and a carrying basket from home and dragged Zhou Qiang away.
Thinking that Lin Wan had already agreed not to go to work and decided to apply for unpaid leave, Li Mu and Zhou Qiang looked back every few steps, constantly staring at Lin Wan who was standing at the window holding Ruoruo and greeting Li Mu.
Zhou Qiang, who was watching from the side, was full of envy.
Li Mu felt Zhou Qiang's envious eyes and said with a smile: "Follow me and make more money. I will introduce you to a girl in the future."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhou Qiang replied without hesitation: "You don't need to introduce me to someone, I will follow you, brother."
Li Mu smiled but said nothing. He knew in his heart that Zhou Qiang was a follower. Whatever he did, Zhou Qiang would just do it and basically would not object unless it was something illegal.
Thinking about how Zhou Qiang died in his previous life, it was such a pity. Li Mu later used many connections to find the person who set a trap for Zhou Qiang. After Zhou Qiang passed away, she got married to a rich old man while pregnant. It was really smart of her to sacrifice Zhou Qiang for her own happiness.
However, in his previous life, Li Mu's strength far exceeded that of the old man. In the end, he made the old man bankrupt and sent both of them to prison.
Thinking about the time, Zhou Qiang should meet her soon, but it’s a pity that Li Mu will definitely find a way to prevent them from meeting this time.
Li Mu passed by the Lifang Barber Shop on the street ahead and took a deep look, which made Zhou Qiang, who was following him, keep looking inside.
"Don't look at it. What's so interesting about a barber shop? Let's go." Li Mu pulled Zhou Qiang's arm and walked in the direction where they went up the mountain last time.
