Chapter 272 Which one do you love more?
"H City? Don't you know what the situation is over there now? Who would dare to go there now? This is not a matter of money!" Meng Qingxin looked a little unhappy.
Li Lei is the new son-in-law, and there are some things he is embarrassed to say. If he says too much, he is afraid that Li Lei will be unhappy and his daughter will feel wronged.
But who doesn’t know about the overwhelming news in H City right now?
Doing business in a disaster area, isn't that just adding to the trouble?
What a pity that this son-in-law is a veteran!
Seeing that her father was unhappy, Meng Xiaoning quickly pinched Li Lei secretly under the table.
Although she hoped that Li Lei could make more money, she felt that it was a bit too much for him to do business in the disaster area.
Li Lei quickly realized that his father-in-law and Xiaoning might have misunderstood what he meant.
He quickly explained: "There are still tens of thousands of kilograms of vegetables left in the greenhouse at home. Now we can't sell them or keep them. I discussed with my sister and wanted to donate all the remaining vegetables. My sister also bought some instant noodles and water and sent them over. Many farmlands and warehouses over there have been flooded, and transportation is inconvenient. I guess there is a shortage of vegetables!"
Li Lei's words stunned the entire Meng family.
Meng Qingxin never thought that Li Lei could reach such a level.
After a moment of stunned silence, he gave Li Lei a thumbs up and said, "Okay, I was right about your son-in-law. He is indeed a former soldier."
Being praised by his father-in-law, Li Lei said a little embarrassedly: "It was also my sister's suggestion. I have to discuss it with my parents when I go back!"
Meng Xiaoning pinched Li Lei hard under the table again.
Li Lei resisted the urge to scream, but just looked at Meng Xiaoning with a puzzled look.
Meng Xiaoning rolled his eyes in his heart and thought: Is this guy a fool?
Her father finally praised him, and he just listened. Why did he need to explain?
As Meng Qingxin listened to his words, he felt that this son-in-law was not only generous but also open-minded.
So, he immediately said: "No problem, leave it to me. I will contact you and I guarantee to negotiate the lowest price for you!"
Li Lei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Dad, thank you for your help."
Meng Qingxin waved his hand: "Why bother? We are all family. And seeing our compatriots suffering, we are happy to have a chance to help."
Li Lei turned around and talked about Meng Xiaoning again: "I sent Xiaoning to work today. Her belly is getting bigger now. It will take two or three months for her to give birth. I thought of asking her to talk to her boss and quit her current job."
Liang Huimei was very happy when she heard this: "I told her a long time ago to quit her job and stay at home to take care of the baby. She's running around with a big belly, making everyone worry."
Meng Xiaoning whispered, "I know. I'll bring it up today. The factory isn't doing well right now, so I think the formalities will be completed in two or three days!"
After dinner, Liang Huimei went to clean up the tricycle in the yard and told Li Lei: "The road is slippery, go slowly."
Meng Xiaoning stood under the eaves and said helplessly: "The tricycle has three legs, it won't fall!"
The tricycle was used by Liang Huimei when she was selling vegetables. Now that she is no longer selling vegetables, she uses it exclusively to pick up Meng Xiaoning.
Although riding a tricycle is slower and more laborious than riding a bicycle, as Meng Xiaoning said, it has three legs and will never fall.
Liang Huimei put on a loose raincoat for Meng Xiaoning and put a stool in the truck bed.
Li Lei was the first to push the tricycle out of the door.
After helping Meng Xiaoning get into the car and watching Li Lei pull her away, Liang Huimei let out a long sigh and went home holding an umbrella.
Meng Qingxin was standing nearby, and asked curiously, "Why are you sighing?"
Liang Huimei whispered, "Our son-in-law is good in every way except that he is not good at talking. You have seen the second son in his family, he is so sweet-mouthed, I like him. Now I just hope that Xiaoning's parents-in-law will not be partial to them, otherwise, Xiaoning will suffer."
Meng Qingxin was a little disapproving: "I don't think my parents-in-law are biased. Besides, the second child in his family is quite good and won't make the eldest brother angry!"
Liang Huimei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look, you like the second son, so how can his parents not like him? It's unfair to treat them equally. Besides, our son-in-law has been a soldier for so many years, so his relationship with his parents must not be as good as the second son's."
Liang Huimei said so much, but Meng Qingxin felt that she was worrying too much.
"Okay, you are a father and mother too. Xiaohui and Xiaoning, which one do you love more? Aren't they the same?" Meng Qingxin said.
"You are such a blockhead, how can it be the same? Xiaohui is a son and Xiaoning is a daughter. There is no conflict of interest."
Meng Qingxin didn't like what she said, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about other people's family affairs. As long as our daughter lives comfortably and doesn't suffer any grievances, I'll be satisfied. What's the point of money? As parents, we must be able to maintain a good appearance."
As long as the parents are not crazy, the distribution of property will be fine in general.
Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship between brothers is, there will still be a gap.
Seeing this, Liang Huimei could only sigh and not mention the matter again.
Li Lei sent Meng Xiaoning to the factory and asked her to wait for him to pick her up in the evening.
After leaving the factory, Li Lei returned to his father-in-law's house, changed his bicycle, and went back home.
When we got home, the family had already had breakfast. They were still huddled under the eaves, staring at the rain outside, all with worried looks on their faces.
Seeing Li Lei coming back, Li Yong quickly stood up and came out to greet him with an umbrella: "How is it, what did the elder sister say?"
Li Lei walked in slowly, parked his bicycle, and then went into the house.
Li Yong followed him closely.
After entering the house, Li Lei finally spoke: "My eldest sister said that she bought all the vegetables in the field for 10,000 yuan. It comes to about 2.5 yuan per pound."
Li Yong was a little surprised: "Is there a market there, elder sister?"
Li Miao felt a little strange: "What kind of sales can there be from Big Sister? The people she knows should all be individual customers, right?"
Li Lei looked at Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming: "Dad, Mom, you should know that the situation in H City is quite serious. Many rescuers have gone there. Several people have died and many are still missing."
When everyone heard Li Lei say this, the expressions on their faces became serious.
"So, the elder sister bought these vegetables, not to sell them. She wanted to donate them to the disaster area. She also bought some instant noodles, mineral water and other things to donate to the compatriots affected by the disaster and the compatriots who were rescuing them."
Li Yong listened to Li Lei's words and sat down on the stool dejectedly.
The atmosphere in the house fell silent and no one spoke.
