Chapter 1321 Why Are You Worrying About This?
"All that's left is cooking. You just sit and wait to eat."
Jiang Li smiled and didn't let Ming Wei help.
"Then I'll talk to mom here."
Ming Wei stood aside, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
"good."
Jiang Li responded with a smile.
"Mom, Ms. Feng stopped us again after school this afternoon. This time she was quite generous. She took out three brown paper envelopes and gave them to me and my eldest brother and my second brother respectively. However, there should be no real estate certificate in the envelope given to my eldest brother."
After hearing Mingwei's words, Jiang Li was startled for a moment, and then said: "It seems that Ms. Feng's calculations are very clear."
After a pause, she curved her lips and smiled: "You don't want it, right?"
"Um."
Ming Wei nodded and said, "We don't care about Ms. Feng's things. Besides, if we take her things now, we might be annoyed by her later!"
Jiang Li said dotingly: "Yes, we don't care."
As time passed by, laughter could be heard from time to time in the kitchen. At the same time, dishes with full color, fragrance and flavor were cooked by Jiang Li's hands.
What I want to say is that just after the National Day, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are going back to their hometown, saying that they are not used to staying in Beicheng. However, Jiang Li, along with the two old birthday stars, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen, are all visiting the famous attractions in Beicheng. Shopping around.
Of course, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen had been in Beicheng for some years, so they naturally visited those scenic spots more than once.
But as son and daughter-in-law, they must stay with Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.
If you want to visit the scenic spots, you also need to eat delicious food.
Considering that Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were getting older, the delicacies Jiang Li took the two elderly birthday guests to eat were naturally easy to chew and digest, making the two elderly birthday guests very happy.
While shopping and eating, Jiang Li did not forget to take photos of the two old birthday stars and his biological father and mother. Therefore, when he returned to his hometown, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang held many photos in their hands, thinking about going back to take pictures of the people in the village who were not as good as them. Look at the old man who is much younger.
Originally, Jiang Li wanted to drive the four elders back to his hometown in person, but Grandpa Jiang and Captain Jiang waved away, as did Grandma Jiang and Cai Xiufen. They did not want to delay their precious granddaughter (daughter)'s work. Besides, there were several children at home. To take care of.
Seeing that Grandpa Jiang and others were resolute, Jiang Li could only agree that she could not drive her there, but she couldn't listen to what Grandpa Jiang and others said about which train to take back.
Knowing that Jiang Li was right, they finally agreed and listened to Jiang Li's arrangements.
After buying a plane ticket and borrowing two bodyguards from Jiang Boya to escort them, Jiang Li made a phone call to his hometown in the provincial capital after the group got on the plane and watched the plane take off.
Please ask the other party to send two cars to the provincial capital airport to pick up Grandpa Jiang and his party, and please take the party back to Aoli Village.
The bodyguards helped carry the luggage and followed them until Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, Captain Jiang, and Cai Xiufen arrived home safely. The two bodyguards took a car to the provincial capital and then returned by plane.
Knowing that Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen had returned to their hometown with Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, Jiang Boya vented his anger with Jiang Hong without even having to ask Jiang Li, and arranged for Fu Ma and A Xiang to come to Jiang Li to help take care of the children. .
A chef and a bodyguard were arranged.
The chef is undoubtedly responsible for cooking. As for the bodyguard, according to Jiang Boya's intention, he is to help Jiang Li transport the three dumplings to and from kindergarten, so as to give Jiang Li more time to relax.
Jiang Li didn't know what to say about this.
She had a lot of things to do, but she wasn't so busy that she didn't even have time to rest and relax.
But there is a kind of busyness that your father thinks you are busy and thinks you have no time to rest. In Jiang Li's view, this is a burden that brings happiness and warmth to your heart.
Based on Jiang Boya's arrangement, Jiang Li is really free now. Fu's mother takes care of the chores at home, Axiang takes care of the housework, the chef is in charge of the kitchen, and it is the bodyguard's job to pick up and drop off Tuanzi's three little ones.
In short, she doesn't need to worry about her family or her children.
But occasionally Jiang Li would cook for the family himself, treating it as a holiday for the chef to rest.
…
After dinner, Jiang Li took the three dumplings for a walk in the yard to eat. In the kitchen, Mingrui and Minghan and Mingwei were washing the tableware. Originally, Fu Ma and Axiang wanted to help, but Mingrui and the others refused directly. At this moment, the two Sitting in the yard, looking at Jiang Li and the three dumplings, they whispered.
"Fu Ma, the eldest lady is really good at teaching children!"
"Um."
"The eldest lady never puts on airs when talking to us, and the same goes for young master Mingrui. If the husband allows me to work by the eldest lady's side for the rest of my life, I am willing to do so."
"There's nothing difficult about this. As long as you think about it, just tell him directly when you see him later."
"Mom Fu, since Mr. arranged for us to be with the eldest lady, he may be asking us to follow the eldest lady in the future! No, Fu Ma, you should return to the old house. As for me... I will probably stay with the eldest lady. around."
"Do you like Missy that much?"
Fu Ma asked Ah Xiang with a smile.
"Yes, I like her. The eldest lady is very nice. Although she looks a bit cold, when you talk to her, you will feel very friendly."
A Xiang whispered: "And the eldest lady is so beautiful, just like a fairy in a fairy tale. The two young masters and young ladies born to her are so delicate that they look like dolls. I like it so much!”
Fu's mother suddenly asked: "Are you twenty-three?"
"My twenty-third birthday will be in two months."
Axiang responded with a smile.
"Don't you want to marry yourself here?"
Hearing what Fu Ma said, Ah Xiang was stunned for a while, and she shook her head: "I won't get married."
"Men should get married when they are old, and women should get married when they are old. How can you not get married?!"
Fu Ma shook her head disapprovingly, and then said: "If you get married, you can have your own children, and when you are old, your children and grandchildren will be around you. How happy it is."
"But Fu Ma, you are so old and you haven't married yet. I think you are living a good life."
What's good about getting married?
Not only do you have to take care of a man, but you also have to take care of this man's family, and give birth to children for him. You work hard all your life. If the children you raise are not filial, you may suffer when you are old.
And if you work for the Jiang family all your life, the contract states that if you work for the Jiang family all your life, when you reach a certain age, the Jiang family will be responsible for your old age.
A Xiang thinks this is pretty good.
Because before she started working at the Jiang family, she lived in a slum and saw many women around a large family. Although they were of different ages, some were only two or three years older than she was at the time, but they worked hard to run the family, but they still didn't get any good results.
They were often beaten and scolded by their husbands, accused of being unfilial by their mothers-in-law, and despised by their children.
Anyway, everyone has their own sorrows.
For example, her mother had a slightly better life. She had never quarreled with her father, and her father had never beaten her mother. Her grandmother was also good to her mother, but the burden of life still made her mother have white hair and wrinkles early.
There was no way. There were many people in the family, and there were many places to spend money, but there were few ways to make money. Not to mention moving out of the slums one day, it was not easy to live a smoother life.
It was not until she started working at the Jiang family that the family's life was significantly improved, but it was far from comfortable.
Before returning to China, her family had advised her to terminate the contract, leave the Jiang family, and have her family help her find a good man to marry, but she refused.
Working in the Jiang family, she gained experience and knew how to distinguish between a good and a bad life.
So, before she left, she gave all her savings to her parents and told them that she would stay in China unless something unexpected happened.
Her family was reluctant to let her go, but she was determined, and in their tears, she ended her last meeting with them before returning to China.
It would be a lie to say that she was not sad, but since she had made her choice, she would not regret it.
"I... I had a man. I remember that we were married for less than half a year. He worked in a foreign mine. Due to a gas explosion, a large area of underground mine caved in... When I heard about him, he was gone, buried in the caved-in mine with more than 200 miners. I... I couldn't bear the blow, resulting in the loss of the baby in my belly who was almost three months old.
My husband's family had no one else, and my family had a grandmother, but the day after I got married, my grandmother died in her sleep. She left with a smile. When I opened the door and saw her, she was lying on a broken wooden bed with a smile on her lips. No matter how I called her, I couldn't get a response."
Fu Ma was a little depressed: "My grandmother and I, who depended on each other for life, are yin and yang. Less than half a year later, my husband, who was supposed to spend his whole life with me, was gone, and even the child in my belly left me. To be honest, I was discouraged and lost confidence in life, but I was unwilling to die, so I just lived on and looked for work everywhere. Later, I heard that the Jiang family manor was recruiting servants, so I went to try. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to be kept.
Looking at the two different employment contracts in front of me, I signed the long-term contract directly. Anyway, I had no relatives and no relatives, so it didn't matter where I was. Who knew that when I saw Mr. for the first time, I found that he had done me a favor. At that moment, I secretly swore to be loyal to the Jiang family for the rest of my life. "
"Is this the reason why you didn't marry again, Fu Ma?"
A Xiang asked.
"Yeah."
Fu Ma nodded: "I will never forget the scene when I almost died on the roadside. There were people coming and going on the street, but no one offered me a helping hand, as if I were a dirty thing. Only the young master signaled the driver to stop the car. After understanding my situation, he asked the driver to take me to the hospital for treatment and paid a lot of hospital fees for me. It can be said that it was the master who gave me a second life. Otherwise, I would have died on the roadside that day and been thrown into the garbage truck by the cleaner."
"I thought that my life from childhood to adulthood was Life is hard, and the feeling in my heart is particularly bad. I didn't expect that you, Fu Ma, were also a miserable person before. "
A Xiang said, she paused, and spoke again: "Fu Ma, the old man, the master, and the eldest lady are all very good people. We can work for such a master family, which is actually a blessing, don't you think?"
The old man refers to Jiang Hongfa. When the three dumplings were born, Jiang Hongfa asked the servants at home to change his name to that, and at the same time asked them to change their name to Jiang Boya, but Jiang Boya stopped him and told the servants to call him master.
Fu Ma: "Yes, the master family is good, never making things difficult, arbitrarily blaming and scolding us, speaking of it, we are indeed enjoying the master's family. In other words, this is also a blessing given to us by the master family."
A Xiang nodded like pounding garlic.
"Fu Ma, look, isn't it very cute for young master Mingchen to walk with his hands behind his back? !"
"Among the young masters in the family, young master Mingchen is the most lively."
Fu Ma said with a loving look in her eyes.
"Young Master Minghan is also very lively, and I think Young Master Mingchen and Young Master Minghan have similar temperaments!"
"Yes, they are a bit similar."
Mother Fu nodded.
...
The yard was large, and Jiang Li and the three Tuanzi were far away from Fu Ma and the others, so they couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. At this moment, Jiang Li looked towards the kitchen, and the three Tuanzi saw this and looked over at the same time. Then they heard Jiang Li say, "When you are eight years old, you must learn all the work on the stove. Do you hear me?"
The three Tuanzi nodded their heads at the same time, and Minghan said in a baby voice, "Mom wants us to be like our big brother, second brother and sister."
"That's right."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, and said, "When your brothers and sisters were your age, they could already help mom sweep the floor, set the dishes and wipe the table before meals. When they were six years old, they learned to wash their own socks..."
With a soft voice, Jiang Li told the growth stories of Mingrui, Minghan and Mingwei.
"Big brother, second brother and sister are all so great!"
Guoguo's dark eyes seemed to be covered with rhinestones. She admired her brothers and sisters so much.
"Big brother is great, and second brother and sister are also great!"
Mingrui also praised his brothers and sisters.
"It seems that you are all bright in your heart, which is good. The reason why mom wants you to learn from your brothers and sisters is that you can learn to take care of yourself in life while learning cultural knowledge. Otherwise, when you leave mom one day and live independently, although you won't make your life a mess, it will be better if you can do it yourself."
If you don't know how to wash clothes and cook, and do simple housework, as long as you have money, you can hire a nanny or a part-time worker to do it. Naturally, you won't live a sloppy life, but occasionally doing it yourself is also a way to relax?
For example, it is rare to have time to rest after working for a long time. You don't want to be disturbed by outsiders or order takeout. Then doing something casually by yourself is just a small thing to do.
In addition, it is not impossible to let the auntie wash your underwear, but this involves privacy. For people with mysophobia, I am afraid they will never touch it again.
In short, a person who is excellent in all aspects does not need to do miscellaneous things in life, but knows how to do it and has the ability to do it. This is Jiang Li's own opinion.
When she was receiving elite education from her family, she learned a lot of things, covering all aspects.
And the little things in life were naturally among the things she learned.
To ensure that if she encountered an emergency outside and no one was around to help her, she would not starve to death or become a slob.
"Got it!"
Tangyuan and Guoguo responded in baby voices.
Tuanzi: "I'll remember what mom said."
...
After taking a bath, the three little ones had gone to bed, and the rest of the family had gone to bed one after another, while Mingwei quietly came to Jiang Li to sleep.
"Mom, I'll sleep with you tonight."
After knocking on the door, Mingwei smiled and said as soon as she saw Jiang Li.
"Come in."
Jiang Li softly opened the door a little wider, and after Mingwei entered the room, she closed the door again.
Going to bed, the mother and daughter lay side by side.
"Mom, I think Ms. Feng is targeting my second brother."
"So what? Your second brother is no longer a child. He will not be manipulated by Ms. Feng to do things he doesn't want to do. Besides, mom and dad are here, we won't let your second brother get into trouble."
"Mom, I guess she wants my second brother to help her fight for the family property."
"Are you thinking too much?"
"I don't think much. Mom, think about it. Ms. Feng's husband has a daughter. If her husband dies in the future, most of the family property will probably fall into the hands of her stepdaughter."
"Why are you worrying about this?"
"I don't want to worry about it. It's just that Ms. Feng gave us a gift too suddenly. Her behavior makes me feel that she is either a traitor or a thief."
"Nothing will happen without profit. Ms. Feng may be such a person, but we just need Just take care of ourselves, let others do whatever they want, don't waste your time on those messy things. "
"Don't worry, I don't want to be punished by you to stand by the wall, and I don't want to write a 10,000-word self-criticism. But if Ms. Feng appears in front of us from time to time like a fly, it's annoying. "
"Weiwei, no matter what, Ms. Feng is your biological mother. As long as she doesn't do anything to hurt you, we can be a little more generous. "
"Mom! She has impure intentions and wants to take my second brother away from you!"
Mingwei's voice sounded a little anxious. She was lying on her side facing Jiang Li at this moment: "With Han Qian in the Han family, if my second brother is really taken away, life will definitely be difficult!"
"Then do you think your second brother can be taken away?"
Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"No."
Mingwei answered.
"Since you know it's not possible, why are you worried about your second brother? Moreover, from a legal perspective, Ms. Feng's behavior of abandoning you in the early years is almost the same as abandonment. In addition, you have always been on our household registration book, and Ms. Feng can't just snatch you away. Even if she goes to court, she won't win."
Giving birth to a child and abandoning it, even if Luo Yanqing and Mingrui's three siblings have no blood relationship, but after raising them for more than ten years, it is not difficult to imagine how the law will judge.
Moreover, Ms. Feng faked her death and escaped, and her household registration was cancelled by the Feng family. Legally, she is equivalent to a dead person. Even if she is "alive" now, as a daughter of the Feng family, as the mother of Mingrui's three siblings, and as Luo Yanqing's first wife, she is still a "dead person."
Not to mention, Mingrui's three siblings are almost adults, not just children. If the matter really goes to court, the judge will definitely ask the three siblings for their opinions when making a judgment.
See if they want to return to their biological parents or maintain their current lives.
In short, Jiang Li feels that no matter what, her children will not be taken away by others casually.
And she will not let others pick peaches!
Mingwei really likes Jiang Li as a mother. Even though she knows that Jiang Li is a stepmother, she has liked her very much since she was a child. Now, Mingwei has grown into a beautiful girl in her teens, and Jiang Li's appearance is not particularly different from when she was eighteen or nineteen years old. It's just that Jiang Li has shown a more mature side in temperament. Therefore, when the mother and daughter go out now, many people think they are sisters, not mother and daughter.
And Jiang Li is not only a mother in Mingwei's heart, but also a teacher and a friend. Look, Mingwei and Jiang Li talked about the emotional gossip of her biological mother Feng Lu.
"Mom, why did Ms. Feng stage that 'faked death to get away' drama? Since she didn't like my dad, why did she marry him? Also, who is the man she likes, does mom know him?"
Ming Wei doesn't think Feng Lu and Han Bin are in true love. If so, why did they become a couple when they were unmarried?
"Adult matters are more complicated. You are still young now, and you won't understand even if I tell you."
Jiang Li evaded the question. She didn't like to gossip about people behind their backs. Besides, Feng Lu's marriage to Luo Yanqing involved her eldest son. As a mother, she didn't want her young man to lose face, especially in front of her sister.
"I'm already fifteen, not young anymore."
Mingwei's eyes were full of curiosity: "Mom, just tell me!"
Jiang Li: "Don't gossip about other people."
"This is not about gossiping about other people's rights and wrongs. I just want to know why she married my father. Mom, think about it yourself. If Ms. Feng liked my father, why did she give birth to my eldest brother, as well as me and my second brother with different men? On the contrary, if she didn't like my father, why did she marry him?"
After listening to Mingwei's words, Jiang Li didn't say anything.
"Could it be that the man Ms. Feng liked was married to another woman, and she chose to marry my father on impulse? But my father has a good job and looks good. Facing such a good man, she really wouldn't be moved?"
Mingwei rolled her eyes and pondered.
Jiang Li wanted to say: Your biological mother was not impulsive.
However, what she said was: "Didn't Ms. Feng say anything to you? For example, some of her past?"
"I don't have the patience to listen to what she said."
She only knew that Ms. Feng wanted to give her and her second brother a house and money. As for whether she said anything else, she was not interested at all, but she didn't want to listen to her endless chatter.
I don't know what she was thinking, but Xiao Shen, Luo En's biological father, suddenly jumped into Ming Wei's mind, and then she said: "Mom, do you think Uncle Xiao Shen is similar to my dad?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li was stunned immediately.
Mingwei's long and curly eyelashes, like crow feathers, trembled. She looked at Jiang Li steadily and asked: "Mom, do you think he looks like me or not?"
"We don't look alike, but we have a similar temperament."
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Mingwei smiled and said: "Mom is right, but I think Uncle Xiao Shen's eyebrows and eyes are also very similar to Dad's!"
"I haven't noticed it."
Jiang Li said, touching Mingwei's head: "Go to sleep, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed tomorrow morning."
Mingwei stuck out her tongue and said in a soft voice: "I talked a lot tonight, don't think I'm annoying, mom!"
"No."
Jiang Li smiled.
Mingwei closed her eyes: "Good night, mom!"
"Good night."
Turning over, Jiang Li lay flat and turned off the desk lamp.
Feng Lu, who was thought to be just a love-brained person, underestimated him at the beginning - not only a love-brained person, but also a promiscuous person!
Then catch the bug. . .
