Chapter 255 No need for outsiders to worry
After the meal, Uncle Lu drove them to a driving school.
Nuannuan, go play by yourself.
Anyway, it's safe in the yard.
Shen Li went back to her bedroom to make a phone call.
Shen Li's bedroom phone number is a separate number.
The other courtyards all use the same number, but they are all connected to extensions.
After all, if you use an extension, as long as someone is on the phone, others can hear what's going on when they pick up the extension.
Therefore, Shen Li's bedroom telephone has a separate line.
Shen Li thought for a while in the bedroom: Should I buy a factory?
Who should I ask about that?
My eldest brother is in the military, and my second brother is in the hospital. We need to contact the government about this.
After all, in the days that followed, state-owned industries became increasingly difficult to operate, and there were many cases of state-owned enterprises being converted into private ones.
Thinking of this, Shen Li called the Shen family.
"Feed..."
"Lili!"
"Hmm, Mom, is Dad home?"
Hearing this, Shen's father, who was sitting nearby reading the newspaper, said, "Lili is looking for me."
Mrs. Shen nodded: "Yes."
Mr. Shen answered the phone: "Lili."
"Dad, I want to ask you something." Shen Li got straight to the point.
"What's wrong?"
"I'd like to know if there are any machinery factories like that in the capital..."
Shen Li expressed all her thoughts.
"Okay, I'll ask around for you." Shen's father didn't ask any more questions. When Shen Li said she wanted a machinery factory, he immediately agreed to help her look into it, supporting her without any reason.
Unlike other parents, who are always worried about this and that.
In Shen's father's eyes, children have to make their own way in the world. Hiding under their parents' wings is not a long-term solution. One must be strong on their own to succeed.
"By the way, I heard your grandma is staying with you?"
"Well, my uncle is away from home most of the time, and I thought my grandma would be bored by herself, so I invited her to come and stay for a few days."
Mr. Shen said with relief, "Yes, that's fine. But won't the Lu family find it inconvenient for your grandmother to stay with you?"
Shen Li smiled: "No, Dad, don't worry! Lu Cheng's parents are very easy to get along with, and they are really good to me. At home, whatever I say goes."
Shen Li knew in her heart that she and Lu Cheng were already married, and that relationships between people were reciprocal.
But Mr. Shen still felt that he should consider the Lu family's opinion. In fact, he had wanted his mother to come and live with him before, but his mother was unwilling and preferred to live by herself.
Now it's all good. My mother is actually willing to live with Lili. That's fine too, there's a lot of space there.
Mr. Shen chatted with Shen Li for a few more minutes before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, he noticed that his wife didn't look too good, and belatedly asked, "Should we... call back?"
Mother Shen snorted but didn't say anything.
Mr. Shen quickly sat down and took Mrs. Shen's hand: "It's my fault. If you miss your daughter so much, come over and visit her when you have time!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen's mother said, "Alright, then I'll leave you home alone?"
Mr. Shen smiled: "Don't stay too long, I'll miss you."
Mrs. Shen glanced at Mr. Shen: "You shameless old man."
Mr. Shen laughed heartily: "So, you've gotten what you want and don't cherish it anymore?"
Mrs. Shen gently tapped Mr. Shen's shoulder: "At your age, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Okay, my mistake..."
Mr. and Mrs. Shen are a loving couple who have weathered many storms to get to where they are today.
The two were a young couple, having been together since their teens, so their relationship was exceptionally deep.
The next day.
Grandma Shen thought she had made things clear with the Luo sisters, Luo Zhu and Luo Ju, but they didn't listen to a word she said. They even came every day after that, which made Grandma Shen very angry.
She directly instructed the servants at the door that if they came looking for her again, they should say that she had already gone back.
That day, Shen's mother happened to have some free time, so she brought her things to the villa. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw Luo Zhu and Luo Ju being stopped outside, and she couldn't help but frown: Why are the two of them here?
Luo Zhu and Luo Ju had just been told by the servants that "Old Madam Shen has already returned home," and were unsure whether it was true or not, when they saw Madam Shen and hurriedly went to her.
Luo Zhu asked, "Aunt, are you here to visit Grandma too?"
Still unaware of the situation, Shen's mother nodded, "Yes, what are you all doing here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Lao Er, standing at the door, awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
Luo Zhu turned to look at Fan Lao Er, her tone filled with displeasure: "You're just a gatekeeper, and you've actually learned to lie?"
Fan Lao Er didn't dare say it was Grandma Shen's order, and only vaguely said, "Madam Shen doesn't like to be disturbed, so that's why she said that."
Luo Zhu simply didn't believe it: "I don't believe it! It must be Shen Li who's stopping us from getting close to our maternal grandparents!"
Only then did Mrs. Shen vaguely understand, and her face darkened as she said, "Don't pin everything on Xiao Li! What exactly did you do to make your maternal grandmother unwilling to see you?"
Luo Zhu hurriedly explained, "What are you saying, Aunt? How could I possibly upset Grandmother? There must be some misunderstanding. Let's go in and ask Grandmother, and we'll find out who's lying."
As she spoke, she walked straight inside, with her younger sister Luo Ju following behind.
Seeing this, Fan Lao Er had no choice but to let them pass.
Since Shen Li wasn't home, Shen's mother went directly to find Shen's grandmother.
Grandma Shen was drinking tea in her courtyard when she saw Luo Zhu and Luo Ju come in, and her brows immediately furrowed.
"Grandmother, I just want to be as filial as possible to my mother," Luo Zhu said, feigning obedience.
Hearing this, Nuannuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Luo Zhu caught a glimpse of this and gently pinched Nuan Nuan's cheek: "Nuan Nuan, you can't learn bad habits here."
Nuannuan was so frightened that she hid back and snuggled into Grandma Shen's arms.
Grandma Shen immediately shielded Nuannuan and said to Luo Zhu without any politeness, "My Shen family's children are none of your concern."
Luo Zhu said urgently, "Grandmother, I'm her cousin, how can I be considered an outsider?"
Just then, Shen's mother walked in, smiling and calling out, "Mom, I came to see you."
Grandma Shen's face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw Mrs. Shen, and she quickly greeted her, "Fangying's here, please have a seat!"
Wang Ma, who was standing nearby, happily stepped forward and took the things from Shen's mother's hands.
"What's wrong?" Mother Shen looked at the Luo sisters, then at Grandma Shen's face, and asked curiously, "What did they do?"
Grandma Shen didn't stand on ceremony—after all, these two young girls were shameless, hadn't she made herself clear enough before?
She directly told the Luo sisters what they were thinking.
Upon hearing this, Shen's mother immediately understood what was going on.
She had met Lu Zhou, the third son of the Lu family, a few times.
Although I didn't see her face clearly before, mainly because her hair was too long.
But after seeing him a few times in the capital, given his height, appearance, and family background, how could he possibly be interested in Luo Zhu?
Luo Zhu's appearance isn't bad, but it's just average. Besides, Lu Zhou is currently the top scorer in the province, so unless he's blind, he wouldn't choose Luo Zhu.
Besides, Luo Zhu's mother is an unpleasant person. Not only would her mother disagree, but she herself would also disagree—she couldn't accept such a person being Li Li's sister-in-law, otherwise the family would probably be in turmoil.
