Chen Li took the two letters and looked at the names on the cover. "Sister-in-law, this one is for you. Mother, this one is for everyone. It's for you."
Xu Taohua took the letter and couldn't wait to open it. When she saw the crooked yet familiar handwriting, her worries for a while were finally put to rest.
"Auntie, I want to go down."
Chen Li put him down, and the little guy ran to Xu Taohua's side and lay down on her knees nimbly.
"Mom, I want to see it too."
"Okay, let's watch it together."
Lin Cuicui didn't open the letter, but handed it to Chen Li, "A Li, you read it."
"good."
Shen Li took it and read out the contents of the letter word by word. Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui listened carefully. Shen Mochi's round eyes turned here and there, trying to take care of both sides.
His appearance made everyone present burst into laughter.
After reading the letter, Shen Changshan and his wife finally felt relieved.
The family had a warm dinner, and the next morning, Chen Li took a carriage to Qingxi County. He hadn't been to the store for a long time, so he decided to go and take a look.
Before entering the store, I saw Su Zhihui walking towards me, "Hey, who is this?"
As he spoke, he walked over and looked at Chen Li with curiosity, "Look at this busy man. He hasn't been seen for two months. Did the sun rise from the west today?"
The corners of Chen Li's mouth twitched slightly, "Ahui, you are so fake."
Su Zhihui raised her eyebrows, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I am real. I can't be more real."
"I didn't say you were fake. Come on in and sit down. You can eat whatever you want today."
"real?"
Su Zhihui followed her inside. Although her family was rich and the snacks in this store were delicious, she and her mother would buy from it more than ten times every month, and they would buy a lot each time.
Forget about my mother, she doesn't need this little bit of money, but she is different, no matter how much wealth I have, I can't afford it!
Now hearing Chen Li say this, I couldn't help but feel happy, but when I thought of this, I felt sad. I pinched the soft flesh on my waist and it seemed that I had gained some weight.
"real."
"Okay, okay, let's go, I've been a little short of money lately. I haven't been here for a few days, so I want to eat my fill today."
"Okay, as long as you can eat it."
Su Zhihui covered her lips with her hands and smiled, "That's not much I can eat, but it's a rare treat, so I can't miss it."
Chen Li shook her head, "What Ah Hui said is true. You haven't eaten enough of my food."
As they were talking, they had already reached the third floor. Seeing that there were fewer people here, Su Zhihui gave her a happy smile.
"No, Ali is the most generous."
Su Zhihui asked for a private room closest to Chen Li's study, and the two of them sat inside and chatted.
"You have no idea. I've been so bored lately. All I do is see my partner or embroider. Oh my God! Why is it so hard to be a woman?"
"Is your family arranging a marriage for you?"
Su Zhihui nodded. "Yes, I'm the same age as you, almost seventeen, and I haven't even settled on a marriage yet. My parents are really worried."
Seeing her depressed look, Chen Li asked, "Ahui, don't you want to get engaged?"
Su Zhihui shook her head: "I don't know."
Chen Li asked again: "Do you have someone you like?"
When she heard her ask this, Shen Qi'an's appearance instantly appeared in her mind, and a blush slowly crept up her fair face.
Chen Li raised her brows slightly. Is there something going on?
Su Zhihui was already lost in her own thoughts. If that person was Shen Qi'an, she thought about it and felt that she would not be so resistant.
However, my parents and grandparents may not agree to this marriage. Perhaps my parents may agree because they love me, but it may be difficult to convince my grandfather. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The family of the person you like doesn't agree?"
Su Zhihui's face was still red. When he heard her say that, he wanted to go over and cover her mouth.
"Ali, don't talk nonsense about likes and dislikes."
Seeing her embarrassed look, Chen Li understood that this girl was probably still one-sided, and she didn't know who the person she was talking about was.
“If you like it, go for it, so you won’t have regrets later.”
Don't instill in her the idea of freedom in love, which was difficult to achieve in ancient times. It's better not to lead her astray, otherwise they will become a pair of resentful couple and may not even be able to be friends.
Su Zhihui nodded thoughtfully. What Ali said was right. It was just a test and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
"Well, you have a point. I'll try it some other day."
"Okay, then you can enjoy your snacks first. It's been a while since I came to the store. I'll go get busy first."
"Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll just sit for a while and then go home."
Chen Li sat in the study, looking at the recent account books and expenses. There were no major problems, but there were some minor issues. She called Yang Gui up and asked about the situation in the store before letting him go about his business.
The people in the store are all our own people, and the indentures are in our own hands. In addition, with the experience and generous bonuses given by the province, everyone does their job conscientiously.
I took another look around the store and the backyard, and after making sure that the hygiene was acceptable, it was already noon.
Seeing a waiter carrying a tray in the distance, he walked over and asked, "Xiao Tao, has Miss Su left?"
"Boss, Miss Su left before noon."
"good."
I had originally planned to have lunch together if she were still here, but since she's gone, forget it.
It's already noon, so I won't go to Suzhou. I'll talk to my parents tomorrow and then go.
In the afternoon, Shen Li went to buy some vegetables. Shen Changshan said that she had been out for so long and planned to invite everyone to have dinner together tonight.
According to his original words, everyone who came here had the surname Chen, and they were usually very close and took care of each other.
Chen Li thought about it and it made sense. She and her brothers were often not at home. If her parents and sister-in-law were bullied in the village, it would always be good to have someone to help.
While having dinner in the evening, she originally wanted to tell them that Pei Yu was coming to propose marriage, but then she thought that there was still so much time, and it would not be too late to tell them after he won the battle and returned to Beijing.
With his instructions, Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui directly rejected any matchmaker who came to propose marriage to Shen Li.
As time went by, all the matchmakers in the neighborhood knew that there was a girl in the Shen family of Daohua Village Committee. At least twenty, if not thirty, matchmakers came to the house, but none of them was successful.
Not to mention success, just being able to meet the girl once is good enough. These matchmakers can't even see the girl.
If Pei Yu wasn't there, Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui would definitely be very anxious, but now that they have better candidates, they won't consider those people.
It's not that I haven't considered it, but after meeting a few people, I realized that none of them would be the type my daughter would like, so I simply didn't bother.
