Chapter 1047: Changing Women 13

A time was set, and as Lian Fu wished, some relatives and friends were invited to have dinner at home.

Although they didn't have any good wine or food to entertain them, there was a scholar in their family who might become an official in the future, so many people came to show their respect.

In fact, you still make money by inviting people to dinner. Everyone comes with something, not empty-handed.

Lian Fu was very honest and did not act like a monster. When the guests dispersed, Meng Li, Zhu Zhuoran and Lian Fu sat at the same table.

Zhu Zhuoran said that he had also decided when to set off.

The date set for the plot is also the same, Meng Li said:

"Husband, I will go with you."

"What?"

Zhu Zhuoran looked at Meng Li in shock.

Lian Fu also looked at Meng Li. Meng Li raised his eyebrows and said:

"Mom, what do you think?"

Lian Fu gritted his teeth, feeling reluctant for Meng Li to follow him. It would cost two people to follow him.

She is the only one who takes care of the housework at home.

Besides, what does it look like when a man goes out to obtain fame and a woman follows him?

But when she saw Meng Li narrowing his eyes and looking at her, she had another thought. If she didn't follow Zhuo Ran, this woman would probably torture her at home.

Even at home, can you still expect this woman to help with work?

Furthermore, if this woman is offended, the matter of winning the top prize may be...

"It's good to have Yingmei with you, I can take care of you."

Lian Fu thought for a few times, then tried his best to put on a kind smile and said.

"mother……"

Zhu Zhuoran didn't expect Lianfu to say this and was confused.

"The journey is long and arduous, why should I let Yingmei suffer along with me?"

Zhu Zhuoran thought about it,

He immediately said it in another way.

"Just taking care of you, right?"

Lian Fu looked at Meng Li, who nodded and said:

"Yeah, I'll take care of you on the way."

Zhu Zhuoran: "..."

One more person will only disturb him. He needs someone to take care of him wherever he goes out.

Besides, expenses are a problem. The money he originally prepared was not much. It is not enough for one person, and he has to bear the burden of one more. Then how miserable will he be?

Zhu Zhuoran glanced at Meng Li and took a closer look. It seemed that overall he looked better than before.

Probably because I haven't been working during this period.

"Don't go out. It's hot outside and I've been traveling all day. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

Zhu Zhuoran sounded like he was thinking about Meng Li.

Meng Li: "I can bear it. When I worked in the fields, the sun was even more scorching."

Zhu Zhuoran: "..."

Can't refute.

"Mom, just give Zhuoran a good talk."

Meng Li saw Zhu Zhuoran's face full of reluctance and asked Lian Fu to come forward directly.

Lian Fu felt very uncomfortable seeing Zhu Zhuoran's unwillingness. She was unwilling to force Zhu Zhuoran to do something he didn't want to do, but now the situation forced her.

She did this all to wish Zhuoran well.

He simply became cruel and said with a downcast face:

"You and your wife are one and the same. We share hardships and share blessings. Now that your family is in a tight situation and we can't afford to hire a bookboy to accompany you, we simply let Yingmei accompany you and take care of each other."

"As for the expense, I'll figure it out."

Zhu Zhuoran opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lian Fu:

"If you still call me mother, this matter will be subject to my arrangement."

Zhu Zhuoran called out "Mother" weakly and remained silent.

Meng Li looked at Lian Fu who had a bad expression with a smile, and seemed to be silently praising Lian Fu for doing well.

When resting at night, Zhu Zhuoran looked at Meng Li and hesitated to speak.

Finally, he put his hand on Meng Li's shoulder and was about to slide down. Meng Li grabbed Zhu Zhuoran's hand and asked:

"what?"

Zhu Zhuoran: "...?"

Don’t you understand what he wants to do?

Meng Li shook off Zhu Zhuoran's hand and said:

"Do you want to convince me not to come to Beijing with you by putting in a little labor?"

Zhu Zhuoran: "..."

What the hell.

Meng Li sighed, looked at Zhu Zhuoran faintly and said:

"Husband, just let me follow you."

"We must listen to our mother. From ancient times to the present, from the emperor to the common people, we must abide by filial piety. If word spreads that a husband is unfilial, hey...!"

"Even though I am a peasant woman, I also know that if the impact is huge and serious, I will go to the government to investigate."

Zhu Zhuoran: "..."

With a clang, a big hat fell from the sky.

I admitted it reluctantly.

Especially scholars like Zhu Zhuoran care about reputation very much.

Finally, the day came when Zhu Zhuoran was about to leave. Meng Li took a shower, cleaned his long hair, and changed into brightly colored clothes.

He looked at his hands and touched his face. During this period of practice and taking the spiritual liquid, his body has improved.

At least my skin looks shiny and whiter. I don't miss three meals a day, eat well, sleep well, and add to my mentality, my whole mental state is different.

Meng Li glanced at the chicken coop in the yard, which was now empty.

She finally ate the last chicken in the family the day before she left.

Although Lian Fu was heartbroken, he came out in the middle of the night and shed tears looking at the chicken coop.

Lian Fu was displeased when he saw Meng Li wearing bright colors when going out.

But he still held back and gave Zhu Zhuoran instructions in detail, with a very complicated expression on his face, one of reluctance and expectation.

Zhu Zhuoran sighed before the sun even came out.

"Mom, the sun has risen and it's time for my son to hit the road."

Lian Fu nodded and said okay. Zhu Zhuoran planned to turn around and leave. Lian Fu pulled Zhu Zhuoran and gave various instructions.

Some words were said over and over again.

His eyes glanced at Meng Li from time to time, as if waiting for some kind of opportunity.

"Mom, I also have something to tell you." Meng Li looked at Lian Fu.

Lian Fu's eyebrows and her heart skipped a beat, and she nodded reluctantly. Zhu Zhuoran had no intention of avoiding it, and Meng Li said:

"I'm going to have a private talk with my mother."

Zhu Zhuoran turned around awkwardly.

"Take good care of your family and know what to say and what not to say."

Lian Fu said angrily:

"Know."

"Although we are not so harmonious, fortunately we both have Zhu Zhuoran and wish him well." Meng Li finished speaking with a smile, then spread his hands towards Lianfu and said:

"By the way, give me the things you prepared for Zhuoran."

Seeing Lian Fu looking for opportunities is quite tiring.

Lian Fu looked extremely ugly. He was a little lucky, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

She stretched out her hand and put something in Meng Li's hand. Meng Li opened the cloth and found some broken silver wrapped in it. She didn't know where Lian Fu got it.

This little bit of silver is not a small sum in such a family.

It seemed that he planned to give it to Zhu Zhuoran in private.

Meng Li was satisfied and said to Lian Fu:

"gone."

She left first. Lianfu found Zhu Zhuoran and said what needed to be said. Now that he had no money to give him, there was nothing to worry about, so he let Zhu Zhuoran go.

Zhu Zhuoran was left speechless. He could feel that his mother had something to give him, but why didn't she give it to him in the end?

It’s really a show that people have been looking forward to for nothing.
