Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Chapter 85 Is this all you’re giving me?

When Li Mingxia smiled, her big eyes curved into beautiful crescents. After hearing what He Changan said, she smiled.

"Okay, thank you very much, Master He."

Perhaps it was because the fried stinky tofu tasted so good, Li Mingxia originally thought that he would not be able to finish such a large plate of stinky tofu, but in the end, there was not even any chopped coriander left in the fried stinky tofu.

"It's getting late. I have to go back. Don't bring more of this tomorrow—"

"Fried stinky tofu. Don't worry, I will definitely bring more." Li Mingxia pointed at the plate in front of him to indicate that he had taken note of it.

He Changan rarely feels awkward on weekdays, but at this moment, he blushed slightly because of Li Mingxia's teasing.

After He Changan left, Zhang took Li Mingxia back to her room.

Li Mingxia glanced at Li Sanlang who was sitting on the kang and said, "Dad."

Li Sanlang nodded, and Zhang pulled Li Mingxia to sit down, "Where did you go with that Lord He today?"

Li Mingxia didn't want to talk about Yi Shuishui's affairs in detail, so he just said a few words and passed it over.

"What's wrong, mother?" Li Mingxia was a little surprised. Zhang never asked her about these things. What happened today?

Zhang looked at Li Mingxia's confused look, feeling relieved but also a little worried.

I was worried that my daughter and Lord He had some feelings for each other, but seeing my daughter's expression, I knew I was overthinking. But my eldest daughter is already at the age where she should be married, and what should I do if she doesn't understand anything?

"It's nothing, mother just asked casually. Are you tired? You still have to go to the stall tomorrow. Go to bed quickly." Zhang touched Li Mingxia's hair and said lovingly.

Li Mingxia was thinking about Mr. Li's affairs, and did not take Zhang's words seriously. He thought that she was just expressing her concern for him, so he quickly discussed the matter with Zhang.

"My grandfather's birthday is in ten days, mother, what do you think we should give him as a gift?"

The happiest person who heard this was Li Sanlang. He had been thinking about this matter in his mind for the past few days, but he didn't know how to say it. Now when he heard Li Mingxia talk about it, he immediately became excited and kept looking at Zhang to see what opinions she could come up with.

Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Two catties of pork, buy the ones with more fat, and then add five catties of polished rice, how about that?"

In fact, in Qianniu Village, two kilograms of pork, especially with a lot of fat, is already considered a very good gift, not to mention five kilograms of glutinous rice, which is already considered top-notch. Zhang also considered Li Sanlang, otherwise, just one of the two would be enough.

Li Mingxia was already impatient to think about the people and things in the Li family's old house. As long as it wasn't too excessive, whatever Zhang said was fine.

"Okay, then let's do as you say, mother." Li Mingxia agreed.

I thought the matter was settled, but I didn't expect Li Sanlang to look a little uncomfortable.

At that time, Li Mingxia hadn't noticed it yet. After saying a few words, he was about to go back to his room to sleep, but as soon as he got up, he was stopped by Li Sanlang.

"Xia Jie'er, don't leave in a hurry. Dad has something to say to you." Li Sanlang frowned, and his voice was no longer as easy-going as usual. He seemed to be angry.

Li Mingxia and Zhang were both confused and didn't know what happened to Li Sanlang.

"Dad, what's the matter? Just tell me." Li Mingxia sat back down.

"Is this all you're going to give your grandfather for his birthday?"

As soon as Li Sanlang started talking, Zhang and Li Mingxia were stunned. Are these things not enough? Does Li Sanlang mean that he feels it is not decent enough?

Zhang felt that Li Sanlang's words showed his dissatisfaction with her. After all, it was she who proposed how much gifts to give. But she also felt a little aggrieved. Not to mention that their family and the old house had already separated, even if they hadn't separated, so many gifts were generous enough. What else did she want?

"Dad, I don't understand what you mean by saying this." Li Mingxia didn't feel aggrieved, she just found it a little funny. She really couldn't figure out what her cheap dad was thinking.

At first, he felt guilty about having to spend money on his leg injury, but once it involved Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, he completely lost the logic of normal people and became unreasonable.

"If our family lived in poverty, we couldn't afford to talk about it. But look at us now. We live in a good house, eat good food, and have meat for every meal, right? And rice and flour for every meal, right? What your mother is wearing on her head, that's pure gold, right? Dad, you know, we care about all these things, and we have the means to give her more. Why should we be so stingy? It might be okay for ordinary times, but it's your grandfather's birthday. Is it a day that can be passed by casually?" The more Li Sanlang spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his daughter and wife had not handled this matter properly.

"Then what if it's up to you, Dad? What should I give as a gift? How much is appropriate?"

Li Sanlang pondered for a moment, completely ignoring Zhang's anxious look.

"One jar of wine, ten catties of polished rice, ten catties of white flour, ten catties of pork, and a red envelope of ten taels of silver. That's it."

Li Sanlang's matter-of-fact look made people feel that he was still holding back, otherwise he would probably want to give away his house.

"Ten taels of silver?! Father, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang widened her eyes, very puzzled by why Li Sanlang mentioned ten taels of silver.

Even the things he was talking about couldn't be bought without two or three taels of silver, not to mention that he was asking for an exorbitant amount.

When Li Sanlang saw Zhang's reaction, although his face was not very happy, he still did not say anything unpleasant to his wife who had taken care of him wholeheartedly.

Li Mingxia was too lazy to listen any more. She was exhausted after a whole day and she didn't have much patience left. If she continued to listen to these nonsense, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and start swearing.

When only Li Sanlang and Zhang were left in the room, the couple spoke without so many reservations.

"Sister Xia is not without money." Li Sanlang moved his legs and felt them regain consciousness. During this period, he took medicine and had acupuncture, and Li Mingxia bought a variety of nutritious food almost every day. His legs, which were completely unable to move at the beginning, gradually became able to move on their own. Such progress surprised Li Sanlang and made his mind active again.

Zhang was furious when she heard this. "I won't say anything if others say so. You are Xia Jie'er's biological father. Don't you know how much hardship Xia Jie has endured to earn this money? Besides, let alone you, what have I done to help Xia Jie'er?"
