Chapter 499: Weird

Zhulan, "Your mother-in-law has a hard time too. You are not allowed to be disrespectful or angry with Mrs. Dong."

Chang Lian was speechless, "Mom, I'm your son. I would never do such a vulgar thing."

He didn't dare mention it to Mrs. Dong until yesterday. Mrs. Dong already knew about it a long time ago. Fortunately, Mrs. Dong was clear about it.

He really didn't have a good impression of Dong Liao. He tested his father on the first day. Ha, it was such a childish test and he embarrassed himself. Dong Liao didn't think much of it. He looked at his father's half-smile and his face became hot.

Zhulan took her son from Changlian's arms and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."

Chang Lian was reluctant to let go of his little brother. He had held him for practice at first. He was also going to be a father. After holding him for a long time, he found that the little guy was really precious. Blood was inseparable. He was his real brother, so he had stopped being jealous. Seeing his little brother mumbling something, Chang Lian smiled even more. "By the way, mother, isn't it time for my second brother to come back?"

Zhulan counted the days, "He will be back soon, do you have anything to do with him?"

Chang Lian, "It is true that I have something to do. I have discussed with my eldest brother and am considering partnering with my second brother to buy a fish farm."

Zhulan thought that Boss Zhou had learned a lot in the past few years. This time when he went out, Boss saw the silver and said, "If you don't have silver, mother will lend it to you."

Chang Lian felt embarrassed that his mother had seen through his thoughts again. "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan, "If you are not busy these few days, spend more time with Dong. She is feeling the worst."

Chang Lian's heart tightened when he thought of his wife. He shed tears many times last night. Alas, pregnant women tend to think too much. She even asked him if he would abandon her. He really wouldn't. He was determined to learn from his father!

Li came back in the afternoon. She was very happy when she left in the morning, but came back with a frown on her face.

Zhulan looked at Li's clothes and saw that she hadn't changed them. "Did someone make you angry? Or did someone gossip about you behind your back and you heard it?"

Li shook his head, "None."

Zhulan thought that it was impossible. Li had changed a lot. Her aura was very intimidating. In addition, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, the Xu family, a family of merchants, would not dare to be offended. "Then what's wrong with you?"

I kept frowning, really not wanting Li.

Li felt very strange. Her feeling was very accurate. "Mother, I just feel strange. I can't explain why. The Xu family should flatter you. Why do the whole family flatter me? I know my own worth very well, but the Xu family wants to praise me to the sky."

Zhulan asked, "Mrs. Xu also praised you?"

Li nodded. "Well, they praised me but I didn't say anything. They also kept saying that I should save more money. Qi even calculated a bill for me. Although everything they said was for my own good, I always felt like they were provoking me."

Especially when she is treated like a fool, she feels very uncomfortable. She is no longer the impulsive person who acts without thinking. Even if she is not smart, she has learned to think with her heart after experiencing a lot. If thinking once doesn't work, then think several times.

On the way back, she kept thinking, the only thing she couldn't figure out was, what's the point of currying favor with her if she doesn't curry favor with her mother-in-law?

Zhulan asked, "Did they tell you how to save money?"

Li shook her head, "No, but Qi has asked me to go to the jewelry store tomorrow."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Minghui will take care of her for me tomorrow, you go ahead."

Li thought for a while and realized that her mother wanted her to ask questions. "Mom, do you suspect something?"

Zhulan raised her eyebrows. The environment is really the best teacher. No matter how she taught before, Li was not serious. Since she started to calculate everything, Li has become smarter. "I have some suspicions, but there is too little information, my eldest daughter-in-law."

Li swallowed her breath, and her mother paused. She was a little scared. She hadn't felt this way for a long time. "Mom, please don't stop."

Her heart can't stand the dirtiness. She has been living too stable recently and can't bear it!

Zhulan, "......"

Li, you have changed. This is what Li said!

Li's fat body moved. She felt uneasy sitting down and wanted to stand!

Zhulan, "What I mean is, if you have any doubts, just ask. Don't try to test others by pretending to be good."

Lee, "......"

What the mother-in-law meant was that she didn't have the brains to test it, and even though it was a real blow to her, she was still excited to try it!

Li was a little depressed, "Mom, I'm going back first."

"good."

In the evening, Zhulan talked to Zhou Shuren about the Xu family, and then said, "The Xu family is too abnormal. I always feel that it is not simple."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "It's really not simple. Once the Xu family gives Li some advice, things will become clearer."

Zhu Lan sighed, "Originally, I thought the Xu family was great and we could have some contact in the future, but now it seems that's not the case."

Zhou Shuren also felt it was a pity. He had also been observing the Xu family for a long time. "Tomorrow, I will have someone check on the Xu family."

Zhulan, "It's better to be safe than sorry. We should investigate this thoroughly. The Xu family is very abnormal."

Zhou Shuren thought about the people who might be plotting against him and thought that they should be behaving well recently. Lord Min would rather stay at home, and everyone else should just mind their own business!

Zhulan can only hope that Li will be more supportive.

On the second day, Li was indeed very helpful. "Mom, the Xu family actually knew that the head of the family wanted to buy a fishery. Qi said that the fishery makes money too slowly and the risks are particularly high. Many times, you will lose all your money. She suggested that we invest some money to build a fishing boat."

Zhulan put down her needle and thread, "Did she tell you directly?"

Li nodded. "She didn't say anything at first. I got angry and said that if she wasn't sincere, we wouldn't have any more contact. Then she told me that fishing boats can make a lot of money, and the Xu family wanted to buy a big boat specifically for fishing."

Zhulan thought that it would be better to just talk about this kind of investment directly. If Li hadn't asked directly today, the Xu family would have continued to guide Li and hinted that Li should make more money on his own.

Seeing her mother silent, Li felt anxious. She expressed her doubts directly, but Qi said she was overthinking it. Then she asked if there was any way to make money. She got angry, and Qi became anxious. Li was very sad. This was her first friend, and she had seen clearly that Qi was trying to plot against her.

Zhulan raised her head. Li's emotions were all shown on her face. She was sad. "Don't be sad. If the bad ones don't go away, the new ones won't come. You will have new friends."

Li raised her head and said, "Mom, please stop comforting me. I can't find any friends."

Zhulan, "...Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud."

Lee, "......."

So what my mother said just now was just to coax her!!
