Chapter 247: Coming of Age



Now Shen Jingyuan and Shen Yuanzhou are practicing martial arts at home. After the eldest brother gained internal strength, the third brother and eldest cousin also gained internal strength. As for the others, they are still some steps away from the right level, but they will be there soon.

Several people would team up to go hunting in the mountains, sell the prey they caught in the city and share it among themselves, or use it to supplement family income or save it.

In the past few months, the back mountain has been taken over by them.

When Chen Li walked into Lin Cuicui's yard, she heard the laughter of children. When she walked in, she saw her mother and sister-in-law playing with their nephew.

"Mother, sister-in-law."

Before the two could respond, the little one in Lin Cuicui's arms waved her fist and gave Chen Li a sweet smile, with her big eyes curved in a way that could melt anyone's heart.

"Achi, come here and let your aunt hold you." The little guy stretched out his hands impatiently, and his upper body leaned towards her impatiently.

"This little guy, Taohua and I take care of him the most, but he likes his aunt the most."

After patting the little guy on the face, both the aunt and the nephew laughed.

"Ali, your fifteenth birthday is in a few days. Do you have any plans?"

Chen Li didn't care, "Mom, it's just a family meal."

"How can it be the same? You can get married after you reach the age of 15."

Chen Li: “…”

She discovered that her mother had been particularly keen on this recently.

"Mom, let me tell you the truth, I plan to stay at home for a few more years."

Lin Cuicui had a headache. "I can stay for a few more years, but I have to settle my marriage first, otherwise all the good men will be picked up by others."

What she meant was, what if the result is a deformed or cracked one?

"If someone else picked her up, it means she's not meant to be with me. There's no need to force it."

Lin Cuicui's headache got worse. "Then let's go see if there's a suitable man, okay?"

Chen Li shook her head, "Mother, the man I want to marry must be someone I like, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

She really couldn't do anything with her little daughter. You asked her to find a date, but she said she would wait for two more years. You asked her to look for one first, but she said she wanted to find someone she liked.

It just reveals that I don’t want to get married for the time being.

Okay, okay, let her be. After all, we have more money at home now. At worst, we can find someone Ali likes to marry into our family.

Xu Taohua watched silently from the side. At this time, as the eldest sister-in-law, it would be best for her not to interrupt, otherwise she would offend both sides.

Moreover, the life they have now is something they could never have imagined before. Xu Taohua knows very well that all this is thanks to her sister-in-law.

Early the next morning, Chen Li and Bai Yao went into the city. It was getting light earlier now, so they went to the backyard for half a day of leisure. Although it was not yet business time, the people in the backyard were already busy. When they saw Chen Li and Bai Yao coming, they all greeted them.

Because the store is going to release summer drinks and has been promoting it for several days, there will probably be a lot of people coming to taste them today, so everyone came to prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry when it gets busy later.

Chen Li sees all of this, and of course there will be corresponding bonuses every month, and those who do more will get more.

The shop assistants are all very clear about this, so they work harder.

A month ago, Chen Li had recruited new guards, so the third brother and eldest cousin had already returned home.

Of course, I asked for their opinions first, otherwise I would have offended them to death.

My eldest aunt's family rented a shop in the store and opened a grocery store, while my second aunt's family opened a grocery store in a nearby town.

The money earned is enough to cover one month's living expenses, with some left over.

My cousin Lin Feng is already engaged and will be getting married in two months. His wife is the daughter of the hunter next door.

Most of the customers who had half a day off had already settled down, and there were people who wanted to open a store like this, but they couldn't get the recipe, so they all left.

Chen Li sat in the store and counted the bill for a while when she heard someone say that Miss Su was coming.

"Ali, why haven't you come to the store these two days?"

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Ever since she got to know Su Zhihui, this girl finally revealed her true colors. She didn't act like a lady at all in front of him.

"Well, I feel like slacking off these past couple of days. What do you want from me?"

Su Zhihui walked in familiarly and found a place to sit down before revealing the real reason:

"Nothing much, it's just that He Xinyan is holding a flower viewing party. I heard she got a rare peony from the capital, and she's so excited."

"snort!"

Dong Shuang, who was standing by, was helpless about her young lady's behavior, but fortunately, Miss Shen was not the kind of person who talked nonsense.

"so what?"

Chen Li looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Su Zhihui's face turned red, and her eyes secretly glanced at a pot of peonies in the room.

"Well, Ah Li, I've been to see it. Her pot of Yao Huang flowers isn't as big as yours, let alone as beautiful as yours. Hehe, dear Ah Li, can you lend me this pot of flowers?"

"That's it?"

"Um."

Su Zhihui was serious. Just for this matter, she had run around all the flower and tree farms in the city in the past few days. Her feet were covered with blisters, but she couldn't find a rare peony that could compete with He Xinyan's.

Who would have thought that I would see a surprise here today.

Originally I just thought that Ali had a lot of potted plants here, so I wanted to come over and try them out, but who would have thought that the surprise would come so suddenly!

"Okay, I'll lend it to you."

Su Zhihui instantly became happy, ran to the flower, and stared at it intently, "Ali, thank you, I will definitely protect her well."

"Well, I believe you."

"Knock~"

"Come in."

Bai Yao came in with two glasses of fruit drinks in her hands, "Boss, Miss Su."

He placed the tray on the table and said, "Miss Su, this is the new fruit drink we just added today. Please try it."

"good."

She almost forgot about it. She had been thinking about this for a long time. It was all He Xinyan's fault. She had forgotten about it.

I took a sip, it was icy cool, sweet, and had a tea flavor, and another taste that I couldn't describe. I don't know what it was, but it was quite delicious.

"Dong Shuang, when you take this pot of flowers away, you must cover it up. Don't let anyone see it. If you do, I'll give He Xinyan a good slap in the face."

"Yes, miss."

Su Zhihui stayed here for an hour, packed some pastries, and excitedly went back with the flowers.

The business in the store was just as Bai Yao and Shen Li had expected. It was indeed very good. Everyone who tried the fruit drink thought it was good, and some people even drank two cups in a row.

"Boss."

"Come in and talk."

Shuangfu walked in respectfully, "We found a dairy cow today, bought it, and it's been delivered now."

Chen Li put down the brush in her hand and said, "Okay, take me to see it."

"yes."
