Chapter 311 I'm Not That Delicate
Not long after, when it was completely dark, Li Guoqiang brought Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others back to the courtyard from Xiangmi Zhai.

As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they ran into Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, who came out of the gatehouse with a smug look on their faces.

Looking at the affectionate look between Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others could all tell that the two of them were already a couple.

Li Guoqiang was not surprised at all by this result.

Because he knew that a cat that had tasted the smell of fish would not be able to resist a small fish that came to its door.

What's more, after two days of getting along, Yao Meilan's attitude gradually changed from resistance to acceptance.

With her as a mother, acting as a wingman by her side, how could this thing fail to succeed?
However, Li Guoqiang did not intend to ask so many questions to avoid being hated by others.

In addition, to put it bluntly, even if Zhao Qiuyan could successfully marry Luo Guofu, he believed that Zhao Qiuyan would not dare to do anything out of line, let alone spread the affairs of their Li family.

Unless she is really not afraid of death.

Just as these thoughts were running through his mind, Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan also discovered Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others, and the expressions on their faces froze for a moment.

Then, Luo Guofu shook off Zhao Qiuyan's hand reflexively, and greeted her awkwardly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then, as if he didn't notice the trick between Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, he said softly, "You probably haven't eaten yet! Let's go back and eat together!"

After saying that, he didn't care what Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan thought, and turned around and walked into his own yard.

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan could only keep her questions to herself. She glared at Luo Guofu and then followed Li Guoqiang with Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others.

When Luo Guofu saw that Luo Huijuan didn't say anything, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly pulled Zhao Qiuyan to follow.

After seeing this series of situations, Zhao Qiuyan instantly had a clearer understanding of Luo Guofu's cowardice. At the same time, she also had a deeper understanding of Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan's status in this family.

Fortunately, she just wanted to marry Luo Guofu, get a job at Xiangmi Zhai, and move her household registration to the city. Then she could find a way to control Luo Guofu and live a good life. She had no intention of going against Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others.

In addition, she now has Yao Meilan as her backer, so her fear of Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan is reduced a little.

The only thing that worried her was that Luo Guofu was really not very useful, and she didn't know whether she could successfully complete the task of passing on the incense to the Luo family.

If she fails to get pregnant, she won't be able to get over Luo Jiwu, let alone Li Guoqiang.

According to Luo Jiwu's determination to kneel down to her rather than hold his great-grandson, she had no doubt that if she was not pregnant, Luo Jiwu would take her away with him before leaving.

Therefore, she had to solve this problem no matter what.

Just as she was wondering whether she should follow Luo Guofu back to Old Luo's house after dinner to continue her efforts, Yao Meilan, with the help of Luo Huijuan and others, came in from outside, carrying plates of delicious and fresh dishes.

Among them, there were not only dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, braised carp, and braised pork, but also a stewed old hen, plus some slightly less delicious dishes, which filled the entire table.

Looking at this huge table of food, people who don’t know would think that their family is holding some big wedding!
In fact, it was just that Yao Meilan felt sorry for her son's hard work and wanted to give Luo Guofu some good nourishment so that she could hold her grandson as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then he saw Luo Huijuan gently grab his hand, and he didn't say anything.

Although he had a lot of supplies and a small pile of gold coins, he could afford to eat such a sumptuous meal every day, let alone eat it.

But, no matter what, Luo Guofu has now separated from him, so he should be more respectful!

Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan haven't married yet! He has already done so much. If Luo Guofu marries Zhao Qiuyan and has a child, then won't he have to give all the things in his house to Luo Guofu?
At this time, Yao Meilan did not seem to notice Li Guoqiang's dissatisfaction. In her eyes, there was only her beloved son Luo Guofu and her well-behaved daughter-in-law Zhao Qiuyan.

As soon as she sat down, she hurriedly called on Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan to eat while it was hot. Her face was full of amiable smiles, and her eyes were shining with a gleam, as if she saw the happy scene of Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan getting married and giving birth to a lot of children for her.

When Luo Huijuan saw this, she frowned slightly, then hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and picked up some better dishes for Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang. By the way, she also invited Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia to eat together, for fear that Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang would be angry because of Yao Meilan's overly partial behavior.

Among them, Li Dawei was not upset. He felt that Luo Guofu was Yao Meilan's biological son, and now Luo Guofu finally found a well-behaved wife. It was normal for him to be a little excited.

Moreover, he felt a little guilty about refusing Yao Meilan's request to bear a child for him, so he could understand Yao Meilan's thoughts even more.

Besides, he also knew that with Li Guoqiang's ability, this little meal was nothing at all. For the sake of family harmony, he just had to endure it.

As for Li Guoqiang, he is not stingy and does not want Luo Guofu to benefit from his status as an older brother.

He just felt that it was better not to do some things too extreme.

Otherwise, once it becomes a habit and becomes a matter of course, it will only harm others and yourself.

What's more, if anyone needs care, wouldn't it be the pregnant woman Luo Huijuan who needs more care?

This is the main reason why Li Guoqiang is dissatisfied with Yao Meilan.

It was only because Luo Huijuan was worried that he didn't lose his temper.

Otherwise, he would have wanted to have a good talk with Yao Meilan a long time ago.

After finishing the meal in a rather dull mood, Li Guoqiang put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up and walked out to his room, pretending to ignore it.

Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others looked at each other when they saw this, then hurriedly said hello to Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, and went to the kitchen to boil water for Li Guoqiang to take a bath.

Luo Huijuan watched Yao Meilan asking Zhao Qiuyan about her well-being and sighed silently in her heart. Then, she did not help to clean up the dishes as usual, but got up and went back to her room to prepare to have a good talk with Li Guoqiang.

However, just as she started talking, Li Guoqiang stopped her by waving his hand.

"Okay, I know everything you want to tell me. I just think that mom went a little too far tonight. She hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's already spoiled me like this. If she gets married, she'll be spoiled to the sky even more!

Besides, you are the one who should be taken care of the most right now, she is too partial to you!"

"Okay!"

After listening to this, Luo Huijuan felt a little sweet in her heart, and then she coaxed softly, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but you also know that my mother's greatest wish in this life is to see Xiaofu grow up, get married and have children, so that she can give an explanation to my biological father.

Just be more understanding and tolerant, and don't argue with her. If she continues to be like this in the future, I will find a chance to talk to her."

"Ok!"

When Li Guoqiang heard what Luo Huijuan said, his anger suddenly subsided, and he nodded and said, "It's not that I don't want to give up the food. You know how rich our family is. Even if we eat as much as we want, we can't finish it in a lifetime.

I am a little worried that if the situation continues like this, Xiaofu and his future wife will develop a habit of extravagance and enjoyment, having everything handed to them.

By then, their lives will be ruined.”

"How about this!"

After listening to this, Luo Huijuan pondered for a moment, then softly suggested: "In the future, you should not put too many good things in your home. Just take what you want to eat every day, cook it at Xiangmi Zhai, and then bring some back for our parents.

This way, we can prevent Xiaofu and his wife from thinking about coming here to eat good food all day, and it can also let our mother know our attitude. "

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then nodded and agreed: "Just do as you say."

In fact, he had thought of this idea when he was eating just now.

On the one hand, this can prevent Yao Meilan from thinking about making delicious food for Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan every day. On the other hand, it can also prevent the neighbors in the courtyard from being tortured by delicious meals for a long time and unable to bear it and reporting to the higher authorities, thus causing some unnecessary trouble.

Cutting off the good meals at home at this time could also explain why the good things he brought back from the countryside had been used up.

When Luo Huijuan saw that Li Guoqiang agreed to her proposal, she instantly felt relieved. She then hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to tell Shang Xiuzhen and Shen Fengxia about this to prevent them from having any bad ideas.

She has taken great care of the harmony and stability of this family.

Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Luo Huijuan and Li Guoqiang's decision.

To be honest, when they saw what Yao Meilan did before, they felt a little dissatisfied.

After all, Yao Meilan already knew that they were Li Guoqiang's concubines, but she had not expressed it to them until now, which showed that she obviously did not take them seriously.

If there was no comparison with Zhao Qiuyan, they would not have thought it was a big deal. But now that they compared their treatment with Zhao Qiuyan, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Even if their relationship with Li Guoqiang cannot be made public and he cannot be nice to them openly, he should at least care about them in private!

How could this be possible? You know the truth but you pretend to be ignorant.

All in all, the bottom line is that I just didn't take them to heart.

After finishing her talk, Luo Huijuan was just about to go back to her room to lie down and rest for a while when she suddenly saw Yao Meilan standing at the door calling her.

So she hurried over and asked softly, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"What do you mean?"

Yao Meilan glared at him, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "You all just put down your bowls and chopsticks after dinner and left without leaving anyone to help clean up the dishes? How can you be someone's sister-in-law?"

As she spoke, she glanced into the kitchen.

The implication is that Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others are not sensible.

"mom!"

Luo Huijuan frowned, and then said unhappily: "Look at what you said, you have already prepared such a large table of food to entertain her, shouldn't we give her a chance to perform?
Besides, we have been busy in the store all day, and we still have to boil water for bathing! How can we have the time to wait for her there?"

"Forehead"

Yao Meilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she quickly explained: "Do you think Mom doesn't know this? Isn't it because Xiaofu just beat someone up, and he's not feeling well now?"

"Fine!"

When Luo Huijuan heard what Yao Meilan said, she didn't want to argue with her, so she just nodded and said, "Then I'll go and collect the dishes."

After saying that, she started walking towards the door, but before she took a few steps, she was stopped by Yao Meilan.

"Why would you go in there when you're pregnant? Why don't you just let any one of them go in and clean up the mess?"

As she spoke, Yao Meilan pointed towards the kitchen, obviously intending for Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others to perform well.

"fine!"

Luo Huijuan smiled slightly, then said softly: "Mom, don't worry, I'm not that delicate."

After saying that, she didn't care about Yao Meilan's reaction, she just broke away from Yao Meilan's hand and walked into the house.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Zhao Qiuyan sitting next to Luo Guofu with a delicate look on her face, like a rich lady.

Luo Guofu was also holding the teacup with a very comfortable look on his face, as if he was a landlord, and he and Zhao Qiuyan were a perfect match.

As for Li Dawei, he sat there in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When he saw Luo Huijuan come in, he immediately bent down and started to clean up the dishes, and his brows frowned instantly.

"Xiaojuan, why are you here? Where's Qiangzi?"

"Dad, Qiangzi has been busy all day, I asked him to lie down in the room and rest for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Huijuan quickly responded, and then quickly gathered all the dishes and chopsticks together.

After a while, she picked up a pile of dishes and was about to turn around and walk out, but she happened to run into Yao Meilan who hurriedly walked in from outside the house.
