My 1991

"How about making cabbage? Your sister Qingchi loves cabbage."

Li Meng's question was already quite direct, and he just barely broke the last layer of window paper.

After talking to Lu An on the phone at noon, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated and annoyed she became. She knew that procrastinating like this was not an option, and she had to find an opportunity to vaguely clarify the matter with Lu An.

Why is it called vaguely explicit?

The vague idea is: both sides should show some affection to each other, and after the incident, the two families will still be as good as before.

The point is: Seeing the situation developing on the verge of getting out of control, Li Meng, who was restless, couldn't bear it anymore.

It is true that she has liked Lu An since she was a child, and this is why she is willing to give Lu An a chance to choose. Whether it is the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter, you can choose whoever you like. As long as both of you are in love, she has no objection.

There was nothing she could do about it.

From the past, he was completely biased towards Qing Shui, but now he reluctantly agreed to Qing Chi being with him, if Qing Chi didn't object.

The eldest daughter has never been on a blind date or talked about a boyfriend. No matter how stupid and slow Li Meng is, he has slowly come to his senses, so he has to compromise.

But she has a very clear requirement: if you choose one, you must stay away from the other!

Of course, deep down in her heart, she still prefers Xiao An and Qing Shui to be together. Not only are they the right age.

The most important thing is that Qing Shui obviously cares more about Xiao An and can't live without him.

If Lu An really chose Qingchi, Li Meng didn't know how Gao would comfort his little daughter.

But she believed that Qingchi would definitely make concessions here for the sake of her sister and the family.

She was also betting that Xiao An wouldn't dare to abandon Qing Shui and be with Qing Chi, otherwise if Qing Chi took care of the overall situation, he wouldn't be able to get either of the two sisters.

So Li Meng seemed to have given Lu An a chance to choose, but there was no fair choice at all, and it was more about manipulating him.

Increase the pressure to force him to choose clear water and stay away from clear pools.

Aunt Meng has a lot of thoughts on her mind, but Lu An is no novice. As a veteran of Hua Cong, he has dealt with the Meng family all his life in his previous life. He basically knows the other party's character and temper, so how can he still not understand what the other party means?

It's just that the conditions are not mature now, and his relationship with Sister Qingchi has not reached the point where they are inseparable from each other, so he does not dare to have a public showdown with Aunt Meng.

I also dare not say such treasonous nonsense as "stewing cabbage and radish together".

Otherwise, Li Mengjue would dare to give him a big mouth now.

Although people have always been kind to him, at this point, Aunt Meng still takes care of his self-esteem and feelings, using this tactful way to give him a chance to step down, but she can't push people into a hurry.

She was really desperate. After all, Li Meng was a sentimental woman and the mother of Qingchi Qingshui. In order to protect her calf and save her face, she was very likely to fall out in anger.

And once they fall out, it's no longer a matter of choosing cabbage or carrot. If you tell him to get out, the relationship between the two parties will directly break down.

If the relationship breaks down, he will feel uncomfortable, and Qingshui and Sister Qingchi who are caught in the middle will also feel uncomfortable. I don’t know how long it will take and how much effort it will take to repair it in the future, and it may not be possible to restore it to its current level.

As the old saying goes: It’s hard to recover from overflowing water, and it’s hard to put a broken mirror back together again. This is probably what it looks like.

The current situation is that Li Meng dares to fall out at any time for the sake of the Meng family's face and her daughter's happiness, and is ready to fall out at any time.

Lu An couldn't do it. In his previous life, the two women were the closest people to him, and both had given birth to children for him. He couldn't let go of either of them, and he was even more unwilling to leave them.

Just when he was frowning and unable to do anything, just when he was about to do Tai Chi, there was a bang, the glass door of the kitchen opened, and Meng Qingchi walked in.

Facing his mother's gaze, Meng Qingchi said to Lu An calmly:

"Xiao An, go and call home to make sure everything is safe."

Lu An glanced at Li Meng and saw the latter staring at his eldest daughter expressionlessly. He couldn't bear to leave. But under Meng Qingchi's constant glances, he finally left the kitchen door.

He knew very well that in this case, not speaking or making a choice was the best option.

But he didn't go far, and instead stood close to the wall to prevent a war from breaking out inside and to prevent Sister Qingchi from being wronged.

Meng Qingchi ignored the change in his mother's face. He rolled up his cuffs first, then walked to the sink, grabbed the cabbage with his left hand and the radish with his right hand, threw them in together, and turned on the faucet.

With the sound of water flowing, she lowered her head and started cleaning carefully.

Li Meng didn't speak at first, but watched his eldest daughter wash the cabbage and radish, but the expression on his face became more solemn.

She is not stupid. Her daughter seems to have said nothing, but the actions on her hands show everything about her attitude.

At the same time, she also understood that Qingchi probably heard the whole conversation between herself and Xiao An outside just now, so she pushed Xiao An away at the critical moment.

After enduring it for a long time, Li Meng couldn't hold it back in the end. He suppressed his temper and said, "You dote on him so much, aren't you afraid of spoiling him?"

Meng Qingchi smiled calmly: "How spoiled is it? Xiao An is now a person who does big things, and he has 10 million in his bank account."

"You!" Li Mengyu choked. If measured by career and money, she had nothing to say.

Because Xiao An was so dazzling, she had never seen such a monster in her forty or fifty years of life.

Li Meng took a deep breath, lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me clearly, is Xiao An pestering you?"

Faced with such a straightforward question and his own mother's stunt, Meng Qingchi did not admit or deny it, but said quietly:

"Mom, you have watched Qingshui and I grow up. If we don't want to do something, who can force us?"

This sentence is very confusing and seems to acknowledge her attitude towards Xiao An.

But when I think about it carefully, I still feel that something is wrong.

Meng Qingchi cleverly took his sister with him. Based on Li Meng's understanding of Qingshui, if Lu An really jumped between the two sisters, they would never be so calm and peaceful!

Thinking of this, Li Meng once thought that he had made a mistake and misunderstood Xiao An?

But thinking of all the clues this year, she denied the idea. It was unlikely that she was mistaken. Lu An was definitely pestering her eldest daughter.

Hey, wait! etc!

Is it the wrong direction? Does Xiaoan only like Qingchi? Don’t feel for clear water? So Qingshui, who knew it well, never made a fuss?

This, but this doesn’t make sense. Lu An would visit Qing Shui every time he went to Shanghai, and even brought Qing Shui with him when he attended the auction house.

Moreover, according to private reports from her parents-in-law, who retired to their hometown in the countryside, Xiao An spent the night at the Meng family's old house during the summer vacation, and stayed in the Qingshui bedroom until most of the night.

The information is cryptic.

It was so secret that my father-in-law and mother-in-law did not dare to tell outsiders, and it was not easy to tell the two parties involved, so they only secretly told their son and daughter-in-law.

After thinking about it, Li Meng felt that her judgment should be correct. The relationship between Xiaoan and Qingshui was not that clean, but now she encountered the most difficult problem.

A question that caught her off guard.

The premise of her forcing Lu An today was that she believed that the eldest daughter, who had her eyes set above her head and didn't care much about anything, didn't like Xiao An and had no feelings for Xiao An.

only!

Just listening to Qingchi's answer just now, Li Meng was stunned for a moment. He was not sure whether the daughter in front of him had feelings for Xiaoan? Or is it just doting on Xiao An?

Can't bear to attack Xiao An?

ps: Li Meng’s part was difficult to write. It was rather sluggish and I had to go through several revisions. No matter how I wrote it, it always seemed wrong. I always felt that it conflicted with the direction of the subsequent plot and wasted time.
