Chapter 41 Persuasion
Li Wanqing usually spends her brain and heart on how to make money, but today she encountered Lin Shuirou's objection, she really had to think carefully about a perfect countermeasure, otherwise Lin Shuirou disagreed, and she insisted on going to play Not happy either.

After lunch, while Lin Shuirou was washing the longevity fruit, Li Wanqing squeezed to Li Rulin's side and tugged at Li Rulin's sleeves to get his attention.

"What's the matter with Qing'er?" Li Rulin looked at Li Wanqing who was next to her, saw Li Wanqing's cute appearance as a thief, wanted to laugh but couldn't help it.

"Shh--father, please keep your voice down so that mother won't hear you." Hearing Li Rulin's question so loudly, Li Wanqing quickly put her index finger in the middle of her mouth and said in a low voice, and looked at Lin Shuirou nervously, seeing that she only lowered her voice. Washing the longevity fruit with her hair on her head, she didn't seem to pay attention to the small movements between their father and daughter.

"Father, let's go to the backyard." Li Wanqing didn't wait for Li Rulin to finish speaking, and stooped into the processing shed in the backyard.

Seeing Li Wanqing's appearance as a thief, Li Rulin shook his head amusedly, exchanged a glance with Lin Shuirou, and then walked to the back of the house.

Looking at the father and daughter who left one after the other, Lin Shuirou shook his head, was that singing competition really so good?In order to convince myself that even the little tricks are used, you think you don’t know?
"Mom, why can't we go to the singing competition?" Li Muchen also noticed the small movements between his father and sister, and couldn't help asking, he also wanted to go, he had never been to a festival when he grew up play in town.

"Xiaochen, there are some things you can't do wrong when you are young. Once you do something wrong, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Lin Shuirou said earnestly.

Li Muchen, a ten-year-old kid, really doesn't understand such profound words. He only knows that he and his sister really want to go to the singing competition, but his mother refuses to agree, and his father is on her side.

In the processing shed behind the house, Li Wanqing looked around and found no one else before she came up to Li Rulin and acted like a baby: "Father, I really want to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival singing competition, please help me to tell my mother about it." OK?"

Seeing the expectation in her daughter's black grape-like eyes, Li Rulin sighed silently, and felt soft in her heart: "Your mother looks easy to talk about, but some things are hard to change once a decision is made."

"Father, don't you want to have sex with your mother?"

Suddenly asked by Li Wanqing, Li Rulin was a little embarrassed: "Your mother and I are old couples now."

"Oh, Dad, it is precisely because you are already an old couple that you need romance even more." Li Wanqing hurriedly said something she shouldn't have said, but when she realized it was already too late.

"Romantic? What is that?" Li Rulin looked at Li Wanqing blankly.

"Oh, dad, don't you want to make mother happier?" Li Wanqing looked at him from left to right.

"Think." Li Rulin was a little bit moved when he thought of his wife who had suffered so much with him for so many years, and had to endure Deng's pickiness.

"Father, I heard that there are lanterns to watch that night, have you seen them with your mother?" Li Wanqing is 100% sure that Li Rulin definitely did not take Lin Shuirou to see the lanterns.

"But, you are already fifteen, it's always bad to go out at night." In fact, Li Rulin still knows the reason for Lin Shuirou's objection. Li Wanqing is already fifteen this year, and their husband and wife have already planned to tell Li Wanqing after the new year. He is a good person, so he is very careful in everything, for fear that something unexpected will affect Li Wanqing's reputation and ruin her life.

"Father, I didn't go alone. Didn't I agree that our whole family would go? How could it be bad?" Li Wanqing also knew that ancient people valued fame, but she went out with her family. Besides, she was so old She is alone and doesn't know how to run around, so there are so many accidents. She has already encountered the biggest accident, and she doesn't believe that there is an accident even more unexpected than when she crossed over.

Li Wanqing also saw Li Rulin's heartbeat, and continued to work hard: "Father, just tell mother, if I win 100 taels, our family will have money to build a house, and you can also honor grandma, right?"

Thinking of singing a song to get 100 taels, although it is unknown whether he can win, but at least there is hope, Li Rulin agreed to Li Wanqing to persuade Lin Shuirou after careful consideration.

"I know that dad is the best." Li Wanqing shook Li Rulin's big hand and flattered her.

Li Rulin, who hadn't been so close to his daughter for a long time, smiled helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you."

"Hehe." Li Wanqing just kept giggling.

……

When having breakfast the next day, seeing Li Rulin smiling and nodding to herself, Li Wanqing was overjoyed. It seemed that Li Rulin had already convinced Lin Shuirou last night.

It's just that Lin Shuirou's happy mood didn't last long, and was completely wiped out by the arrival of Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma.

Seeing Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma, Li Rulin was also stunned: "Mother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" In fact, he only met his Yue's family on the day of his marriage, and it is amazing that he can still remember it after 15 years.

Mrs. Ma just nodded without speaking or smiling, while Mrs. Ma said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, my mother and I came to see you."

Li Wanqing called out: "Grandma, aunt." Then went to do her own thing.

Seeing grandma calling Ma Shi and Xiao Ma Shi grandma and aunt, Li Muchen followed suit.

"Yo, this is Xiaochen." Xiao Ma looked surprised, and patted Li Muchen's head.

"Yes, sister-in-law." Li Rulin nodded.

For the arrival of Ma's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lin Shuirou seemed a little unhappy.

Seeing Aunt Fu washing longevity fruits in the yard, Xiao Ma asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what are you washing these little fruits for?"

"There is a shopkeeper in the town who wants it, so we sold it to him, earning two dollars to supplement the family." Li Rulin said with a smile, because the whole family agreed, and no one can tell the method of pickling longevity fruit.

"Is there anyone willing to buy this little fruit?" Mrs. Ma was shocked.

Li Rulin didn't answer Xiao Ma's question, and led the two into the main house. Lin Shuirou poured tea for them, and sat down next to Li Rulin.

Li Wanqing and Li Muchen were cleaning longevity fruits in the yard, but they were sitting on the right hand side of the door of the main house, only two meters away from the door, and they could hear the conversation in the house.

As soon as he sat down, Mrs. Ma directly explained the purpose of coming: "Ru Lin, the big tree in your elder brother's house is seventeen years old this year, and you haven't mentioned a daughter-in-law yet. I'm discussing with your elder brother and sister-in-law to build the house first this year. After the new year, I will marry Dashu." After finishing speaking, Madam Ma looked at Li Rulin fixedly.

"Sure, seventeen should have said kiss." Li Rulin nodded heavily, but he didn't understand what the Yue family's nephew said kiss had anything to do with him.

"I heard that your family is also building a house this year?"

"Well, it's just that I don't have much money, so it's good to build one." Li Rulin repeated what he had said to Mrs. Deng before. Of course, he never said these words to Lin Shuirou. According to Ma Shi’s meaning, he should want to ask him to borrow money, but before he only gave Deng Shi two taels of silver. She is afraid that there will be trouble again, and it will be Lin Shuirou who will be wronged.

"Ru Lin, do you think it's possible for your family not to build the house first, but to give the money from your house to your elder brother to build the house first?" Mrs. Ma asked tentatively. After all, the son-in-law is not his own, and he has not seen each other for many years. This time, Lin Shuirou couldn't borrow a single copper coin. After discussing with Ma Shi and Xiao Ma, they adopted a soft policy towards Li Rulin.

"What?" Li Rulin asked in surprise, did he have hallucinations?
"I mean, I want you to give the silver to your elder brother first, and you to use it later." Mrs. Ma thought that Li Rulin didn't understand, so he repeated it.

Li Rulin heard clearly this time, but before he could utter a word, he heard a 'snap', turned his head to look at his always weak wife, and turned to look at his wife who was always weak, and then she jumped up and glared at Ma Shi with an angry face.
