Lu Mu, a tall man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, became more and more panicked as he retreated. Finally, he retreated to the corner with no way to retreat.
Meng Li rested her hands on the edge of the wall. She was much shorter than Lu Mu, but she raised her head with an aggressive gaze.
"Tell me, what do you mean by hiding my cuddly bear?"
Lu Mu lowered her eyelashes: "I'll just find it and return it to you."
"reason!"
Lu Mu's heartbeat was speeding up. His heart had never beat so fast.
He suppressed this feeling and tried to keep his tone as cool as possible.
"No reason, just to tease you."
The trace of expectation in Meng Li's eyes disappeared without a trace.
"boring."
She turned around and walked away, saying, "If you touch my little crocodile again, I won't let you go."
Lu Mu still maintained his position of being forced into the corner. He closed his eyes as he watched Meng Li's figure getting further and further away.
Meng Li sat in the yard, holding a handful of stones in her hand, and threw them one by one into the ditch at the foot of the wall.
After throwing it away, he took out another handful from the space.
Meng Ning came out to go to the toilet. When he saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is making my eldest sister unhappy? Tell the second brother and let the second brother cut him."
It was the first time to see Meng Li looking so depressed, and Meng Ning felt heartbroken.
"Second brother, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about business."
Meng Li said: "Our family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are always a lot of things to worry about."
"Oh, I'm busy studying and can't share the burden with you. I'm really sorry."
"What are you talking about, second brother? If you work hard and become a scholar, passing the exam is the best reward for your family."
Meng Li urged: "Go to the study quickly, lest Mr. Jiang think you are neglectful."
"Okay, you have to be good."
Meng Li stood up, her face already filled with determination and strength.
So what if she had a slightly different idea? She was not bad, and Lu Mu was also excellent. Some emotions were unavoidable.
But some people cannot be kept after all.
Lu Mu knew it, and so did she.
It's definitely not her style to worry about gains and losses like this.
Meng Li scooped up a large spoonful of spiritual spring water and drank it for herself, almost not choking.
After a few coughs subsided, I gained strength.
The sun was very sunny today, so she lay on the deck chair in the yard, closed her eyes, and watered the herbs in the space that were far away from the spiritual spring.
After absorbing more water from the spiritual spring, the medicinal herbs glowed with vitality, and the branches and leaves relaxed a lot to the naked eye.
There are more herbs planted now than before, and it took me half the morning just to water them.
When Meng Li opened her eyes, she discovered that there was an umbrella cover above her head.
Otherwise, the sun would be a bit fierce by this time, and it would be difficult for her to concentrate on watering the space.
In a corner of the yard, Lu Mu was chopping firewood and had chopped a large pile.
The ax was a bit blunt, but he still split the firewood neatly.
Meng Li looked at him for a while and thought, let's just go on like this. Lu Mu must also have his own difficulties.
She went to the kitchen.
During the period when the little sister was learning, she stayed at home and cooked as much as possible, so that the little sister could devote more time to studying.
After a while, Lu Mu came into the kitchen with an armful of firewood to help her.
Meng Li stewed one in this pot, another in that pot, and stir-fried vegetables with the spatula.
Meng Yao came out of the study and saw her eldest sister busy like this, and was moved in her heart.
The eldest sister just doesn't want to take up her time.
Meng Li waved her hand to Meng Yao and asked her to go back.
The little girl's eyes became hot.
At noon, a table of sumptuous dishes was served, including dry-pot shrimp, stewed goose, sea bass, abalone steamed egg, and cumin squid——
There are several patterns that have never been seen before.
Everyone sat down eagerly.
Of course Xie Xian was also there. He was in so much pain just now, but when he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, he actually felt that the pain was relieved.
Looking at the dishes on this table, none of the chefs in the house can compare.
However, Xie Xian still glanced at Meng Li and Lu Mu with resentment.
He will never forget in his life how this couple tortured him this morning.
When he thought about this, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Brother Xie, your wound has been re-sutured. You can't eat too spicy food. Just eat something lighter." Meng Wu said with concern.
Xie Xian looked at the dishes on the table. Almost all of them were spicy, and his forehead twitched again.
On purpose, this woman must have done it on purpose.
"It doesn't matter."
Xie Xian would not give in. He would never be willing to watch others eat such a delicious table of food.
It seems that they are competing, he will put whatever spicy food he puts on it.
Neither Meng Wu nor Meng Ning could persuade him, so they just let him go.
"The food cooked by my eldest sister is so delicious. When it's finished, my eldest sister will ask Brother Xie to take some anti-inflammatory medicine." Meng Ning said.
Xie Xian knew very well that after eating, Meng Li might not give him anti-inflammatory medicine. She might have to wait for him to become inflamed and watch him suffer.
"I feel a little bit inflamed right now." Xie Xian looked at Meng Li and stretched out his hand: "Miss Meng, please give me some anti-inflammatory medicine."
Meng Li didn't bother to look at him, so she took out two pills from her sleeve and gave them to him.
After taking anti-inflammatory drugs earlier, he continued to feast.
When the meal was finished, Meng Li asked Lu Mu.
"When will Xie Xian's business start?"
"He will send someone here to pick up the goods, and I have to be prepared to avoid chaos in his life. It may take some time." Lu Mu said: "After all, we have to avoid the eyes of the superiors."
"After completing the first cooperation, he was assured of the quality of the goods. When he leaves here, it will not affect future cooperation."
Xie Xian was handsome and of noble birth, so Lu Mu was wary of him at first.
However, Meng Li didn't even bother to look at Xie Xian, but instead felt disgusted with it, so he was relieved to let Xie Xian stay here for the time being.
He is not just selling salt, as long as a cooperation is reached and the interests of the two are linked, the Xie family will have more leverage in his hands, and the Xie family will not dare to act rashly in the future.
Even if it is a strategy of injuring the enemy by one thousand and injuring yourself by eight hundred, the Fu family is like this. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Meng Li was silent for a long time.
"Just make up your mind, I believe you."
"I won't live up to your trust."
The two looked at each other, something seemed to collide in their eyes, and they quickly averted their eyes.
Meng Li spent the afternoon making clothes and making layouts.
One hundred customizations and five hundred tasks in the store are enough to keep you busy during this period of time.
A few days later, she went to Datian Village to see the condition of the new house.
Twenty days have passed, and the wall has basically been built. The cyan matte bricks are very beautiful in the sun.
The craftsmen were making eaves and pillars and erecting beams and rafters, and they were all in good spirits.
"Girl Li, it's great that you're back. We plan to go to the town with your third uncle to find you." Mrs. Shen came to Meng Li with her body shaking, with an attentive smile on her face.
Also coming with him was Boss Meng, who also smiled gently, like a kind elder.
"What's the matter?" Meng Li remained silent and had the electric shock baton ready in her sleeve.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It is definitely not easy for these two people who want to kill her to show such a doggy smile.
