Chapter 273 This vegetable cannot be sold to the eldest sister
Li Yong pulled his hair in annoyance, feeling depressed and having no way to vent.
Why did it happen this year? Why were they the ones implicated?
If this continues, when will he be able to save up three hundred thousand yuan and marry Qin Xiaomin?
This is the only chance to prove himself, if he fails this time. Qin Xiaomin's parents see no hope, they will definitely not let Qin Xiaomin continue to wait for him.
But……
The silent atmosphere lasted until noon.
It was almost time for lunch. Although no one could eat, people still wanted to eat.
Liu Guihua stood up and walked to the kitchen: "I'll go cook!"
Now, for three meals a day, I only eat a few things: tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers...
Eat whatever is available in the land.
The more they eat, the less they waste.
Just as Liu Guihua stood up, Li Yong suddenly spoke up: "No, you can't sell this vegetable to Big Sister!"
After he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yong.
Li Yong gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and reiterated: "This vegetable must not be sold to Big Sister!"
Liu Guihua thought her son thought the price was too cheap, so she advised him, "Xiaoyong, it will rot if we leave it alone, so we'll save as much as we can now. Fortunately, we didn't invest too much later, so the loss is not too big. Don't worry too much, your father and I will not ignore Xiaomin. Even your eldest brother will not watch you and Xiaomin break up like this!"
Li Lei also expressed his opinion: "Your sister-in-law and I don't have much to spend money on right now, so we will definitely focus on you first."
Li Yong took a deep breath and unclenched his fists: "In your hearts, am I this kind of person?"
In the eyes of everyone who was puzzled, Li Yong finally explained: "Just like what you said, our vegetables will rot if we leave them alone. Big sister did this for two reasons. One is to help us recover some of the losses, and the other is to prevent these vegetables from being wasted. Big sister is kind-hearted, but if we agree, wouldn't that be transferring the losses to big sister?"
This is true. Li Miao nodded in agreement. "I guess the eldest sister doesn't have much money. I heard from Sister Shuqin that the 50,000 yuan they gave her before was repaid twice by the eldest sister, 10,000 yuan each time! Adding the expenses of the three children, maybe this 10,000 yuan is her last savings."
"Didn't my brother tell me that my eldest sister had already bought some instant noodles and mineral water? Then this dish can be considered as our token of appreciation and donated to our compatriots who are suffering in the disaster area. It is more meaningful to do so than to let it rot in the fields."
After saying that, Li Yong's voice dropped again, "As for Xiao Min... I will continue to work hard, and I think Xiao Min will understand me."
Liu Guihua couldn't feel happy when she heard what Li Yong said. She felt sorry for her youngest son, sorry that he was despised by others, sorry that he had worked so hard for a long time but it was all in vain.
Li Lei looked at his brother with a very pleased look in his eyes, "I agree with Xiaoyong's idea!"
Li Miao also raised his hand: "I agree!"
Seeing this, Li Zhiming said, "Your mother and I have no objection either."
"My father-in-law has already contacted a truck. I have to go over there in the afternoon to see what's going on. I'll sleep at my father-in-law's house tonight."
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming had no objections. Liu Guihua even advised: "While you are free now, go to your father-in-law's house more often and spend more time with Xiaoning!"
Li Lei didn't tell Liu Guihua about Xiaoning's resignation because he was afraid that if he did, Liu Guihua would ask Xiaoning to move back home.
He naturally understood that although his parents-in-law and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were all nice, the husband and wife would feel uncomfortable no matter who went to the other's home.
He nodded to show that he understood.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Lei rode his bike to Meng Xiaoning's parents' home.
Meng Qingxin went out and hasn't come back yet.
Only Meng Xiaohui and Liang Huimei were at home.
Li Lei was afraid of embarrassment, so he rode his tricycle to Meng Xiaoning's factory.
There was a circle of eaves outside the factory, and he stood there waiting.
After waiting for an hour, Meng Xiaoning finally came out of the factory with several female workers.
Meng Xiaoning held her belly, and a female worker next to her supported her, fearing that the road would be slippery in the rain and she would fall.
Seeing this, Li Lei hurriedly walked over.
The female workers nearby were all envious when they saw Li Lei.
"Xiaoning, your partner is tall and good-looking, and is good to you too. You are so lucky."
"Yes, the baby in Xiaoning's belly is guaranteed to be a tall one. It's only been a few months. Look at her belly."
…
Meng Xiaoning listened to others' praise and kept smiling.
She was indeed quite satisfied with Li Lei.
Li Lei came over and several female workers said goodbye to Meng Xiaoning.
"What are you talking about? Why are you laughing like that?" Li Lei carefully supported Meng Xiaoning and asked in a low voice.
"My colleagues all praise you!" said Meng Xiaoning.
Li Lei laughed: "What are you praising me for? By the way, have you told your leaders about your resignation? What was the result?"
Meng Xiaoning stopped laughing and said, "Yes, I told our leader early in the morning. What else could she say? I am so pregnant now and I can't do much work. Besides, the factory is not doing well, so she agreed at the time. We are going through the formalities now. I will probably have to work one more day tomorrow and won't have to come the day after tomorrow."
Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Meng Xiaoning's words.
He whispered, "I've been here for the past few days."
Meng Xiaoning was delighted when she heard that. "That's great. You can accompany me to the hospital for a checkup in a couple of days. My colleague said that people in big cities have to go for a checkup every once in a while during pregnancy. That's called a prenatal checkup. We don't know anything. We've only been to the hospital once in this long pregnancy."
It was also the first time that Li Lei heard about prenatal check-ups.
After all, the older generation didn’t even go to the hospital to give birth, they just gave birth at home.
"Okay, I'll go with you in two days!"
When the two returned home, Meng Qingxin was already there with a smile on his face, looking very happy.
Meng Xiaoning saw that his face was red, frowned and asked, "Dad, did you go drinking?"
"I found a few cyclists who are all free and can make this trip. Moreover, I heard that the supplies are donated to the disaster area, so they don't charge any fees." Meng Qingxin was very happy to share the good news with Li Lei.
Then, he looked at Meng Xiaoning and smiled awkwardly: "I was so happy that I invited them to have a drink."
Liang Huimei came out and said unhappily, "Then stay away from my daughter and don't make my grandson feel uncomfortable."
Meng Qingxin smiled awkwardly and could only talk to his son-in-law: "They are free anytime these days. You can see when your eldest sister needs them and we can go over anytime!"
Li Lei nodded: "Tomorrow morning after I send Xiaoning off, I'll go to Big Sister's place and ask her when to leave!"
