“H City? Don’t you know what’s going on over there? Who dares to run over there now? This isn’t about money!” Meng Qingxin looked a little unhappy.
Li Lei was his new son-in-law, so he was embarrassed to say some things. If he said too much, he was afraid that Li Lei would be unhappy and his daughter would suffer.
But now, the news about H City was overwhelming. Which one of them didn’t know?
Doing business in the disaster area, wasn’t that just adding to the chaos?
To think that this son-in-law was even a veteran!
Seeing that her father was unhappy, Meng Xiaoning hurriedly pinched Li Lei under the table.
Although she did hope that Li Lei would make more money, but doing business in the disaster area, she also felt that Li Lei was a bit too much.
…..
Li Lei quickly realized that his father-in-law and Xiaoning might have misunderstood his meaning.
He quickly explained, “There are still tens of thousands of pounds of vegetables left in the shed at home. We can’t sell them or keep them. My Sister and I have discussed and want to donate all the remaining vegetables. My Sister also donated instant noodles and water and sent them all over. Many of the farms and warehouses over there are flooded. It’s not convenient to get around, so there’s probably a lack of vegetables too!”
Li Lei’s words stunned the Meng family.
Meng Qingxin never thought that Li Lei would actually have such a thought.
After a moment of shock, he gave Li Lei a thumbs up. “Good. I wasn’t wrong about choosing you as a son-in-law. You’re indeed worthy of being a soldier.”
After being praised by his father-in-law, Li Lei said with some embarrassment, “It was also my Sister’s suggestion. I still have to discuss it with my parents when I return!”
Meng Xiaoning pinched Li Lei under the table again.
Li Lei endured it and didn’t scream. He just looked at Meng Xiaoning with a puzzled look.
Meng Xiaoning rolled her eyes in her heart and thought, is this guy a fool?
Her father finally praised him, and he just listened and explained.
When Meng Qingxin heard his words, he felt that this son-in-law was not only generous but also open-minded.
Therefore, he immediately said, “No problem. Leave this matter to me. I’ll contact you. I’ll also guarantee to negotiate the lowest price for you!”
When Li Lei heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. “Father, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Meng Qingxin waved his hand. “What trouble? We’re all family. Moreover, we’re watching our compatriots suffer. We’re happy that we have the opportunity to help.”
Li Lei turned to talk about Meng Xiaoning. “Today, I’ll send Xiaoning to work. She’s pregnant now. She’s about to give birth in two to three months. I want her to talk to the leader and resign from her current job.”
Liang Huimei was very happy when she heard that. “I told her to quit her job and focus on raising the baby at home. She’s running around with a big belly, making everyone worry.”
Meng Xiaoning said in a low voice, “I know. I’ll discuss it today. The factory is not doing well now. I think the procedures will be completed in two to three days!”
After dinner, Liang Huimei went to clean up the tricycle in the yard and told Li Lei, “The road is slippery, be careful.”
Meng Xiaoning stood under the eaves and said helplessly, “The tricycle has three legs. It can’t fall!”
The tricycle was used by Liang Huimei when she was selling vegetables. Now, she was not selling vegetables anymore. So it was used to pick up and send Meng Xiaoning.
Although the tricycle was slower than a bicycle, and it was laborious. But just as Meng Xiaoning said, it had three legs. It could not fall no matter what.
Liang Huimei put on a loose raincoat for Meng Xiaoning, then took a horse-drawn carriage and put it in the trunk of the tricycle.
Li Lei was the first to push the small tricycle out of the door.
She helped Meng Xiaoning onto the bike and watched Li Lei pull her away. Only then did Liang Huimei let out a long sigh and return home with an umbrella.
Meng Qingxin, who was beside her, asked curiously, “Why are you sighing?”
Liang Huimei said in a low voice, “Our son-in-law is good at everything except words. You’ve seen his second brother before. He’s so sweet-mouthed. I like him even when I see him. Right now, I just hope that Xiaoning’s parents-in-law aren’t biased. Otherwise, our Xiaoning will suffer.”
Meng Qingxin was a little disapproving. “I don’t think our in-laws are biased like that. Besides, their Second Son is pretty good. He won’t be bullied by his Eldest Brother!”
Liang Huimei rolled her eyes at him. “Look, you like that Second Son of theirs. How can his parents not like him? It’s unfair. Plus, our son-in-law has been a soldier for so many years. His relationship with his parents is definitely not as good as the Second Son.”
After Liang Huimei said so much, Meng Qingxin felt she was worrying over nothing.
“Enough. You’re also a parent. Xiaohui and Xiaoning, which one do you love more? Aren’t they the same?” Meng Qingxin said.
“You blockhead, how can they be the same? Xiaohui is a son, and Xiaoning is a daughter. There’s no conflict of interest.”
Meng Qingxin didn’t like to hear her say these things, and he waved his hand. “Don’t worry about other people’s matters. As long as our daughter lives comfortably and doesn’t suffer any grievances, I’m satisfied. What money? As parents, they won’t mistreat them on the surface.”
As long as they weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t be wrong regarding the distribution of wealth.
Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship between brothers was, there would still be a gap.
Seeing this, Liang Huimei could only sigh and not mention this matter anymore.
Li Lei sent Meng Xiaoning to the factory and told her to wait for him to pick her up at night.
After leaving the factory, Li Lei returned to his father-in-law’s house, changed his bicycle, and returned home.
When he returned home, the family had already had breakfast. They still gathered under the eaves and looked anxiously at the rain outside. Each of them had a worried look on their face.
Seeing that Li Lei had returned, Li Yong quickly stood up and came out with an umbrella to welcome him. “How was it? What did Big Sis say?”
Li Lei entered the door unhurriedly. After parking his bicycle, he walked into the house.
Li Yong eagerly followed behind him the whole time.
After entering the house, Li Lei said, “Big Sis said that for 10,000 Yuan, she would buy all the vegetables in the field. It’s about 25 cents a kilogram.”
Li Yong was a little surprised. “Big Sis has a market there?”
Li Miao, however, felt a little strange. “What market can Big Sis have? The people she knows should all be random customers, right?”
Li Lei looked at Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming. “Father, Mother, you should also know that the situation in H City is quite serious right now. A lot of people have gone to rescue, and quite a few people have already died. There are also a lot of people who are missing.”
Hearing Li Lei mention this, everyone’s expressions became severe.
“So, Big Sister bought these vegetables, not to sell them. She wants to donate them to the disaster area. She also bought some instant noodles, mineral water, and other things to donate to the disaster area’s fellow countrymen and fellow countrymen.”
Li Yong listened to Li Lei’s words and sat down on the stool somewhat dejectedly.
The atmosphere in the house became silent. No one said anything..
