Not to mention the medicinal powder and pills. Even the clothes she made were extremely exquisite. The pastries made by Chen Meng’er were so delicious that even Elder Liu, whose appet.i.te was not as good as before, ate several pieces, not to mention Fatty and the others.
Every time Fatty heard that his family’s little miss was cooking, he would definitely be waiting at the kitchen door.
He would wait for Chen Meng’er to bring out the delicious pastries. He knew very well that if he did not wait at the kitchen door, he would only be able to get one or two pieces of pastries to taste.
Now that he knew that Chen Meng’er was cooking personally today, not only Fatty, but Zhuge Yu and the rest were also reluctant to go out until they ate the pastries made by Chen Meng’er. One by one, they were satisfied and went out to do some work.
Looking at the greedy looks of Zhuge Yu and the others, Elder Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Chen Meng’er, who was making tea for him and smiled and said, “Girl, it’s a good thing that you don’t cook often. If you cook often, in the future, I’m afraid that we won’t have an appet.i.te for other people’s dishes.”
!!
“It’s okay. If Grandpa likes to eat, I’ll cook every meal in the future.” Chen Meng’er handed the brewed tea to Elder Liu.
“That won’t do. I can’t bear to let my precious little girl cook every day.” Elder Liu took the tea that Chen Meng’er handed over and drank a mouthful. Then, he picked up one of the pastries on the table and took a bite. His face was full of satisfaction. Elder Liu never thought that in his lifetime, he could live so comfortably and happily. “Oh right, why haven’t I seen your other grandpa in the past two days?”
Elder Liu and Elder Qu were two old men who were completely at loggerheads. When they saw each other, they quarreled endlessly. However, they couldn’t bear to not see each other. They also missed each other terribly.
“I really don’t know about this. Why don’t I give him a call later?” After Elder Liu said that, Chen Meng’er then remembered that Elder Qu, who came to report to the Green Gang every day, had not come yesterday.
“Go ahead. Ask if he’s feeling unwell. If he’s feeling unwell, you can go and take a look. He’s getting old and his body is getting worse.” Elder Liu was fortunate to have Chen Meng’er’s care, otherwise, he would probably have to call for a doctor every three days.
“Okay.” Chen Meng’er had just finished speaking when she heard Elder Qu’s energetic voice.
“Who’s feeling unwell? My body is very healthy. I didn’t expect you to miss me so much, Elder Liu.” Elder Qu’s loud voice rang out.
Chen Meng’er knew that the Green Gang would be lively again.
“Bah! As if I’d miss you. If you didn’t come, I would be happy to be alone. No one would s.n.a.t.c.h Meng’er’s pastries from me.” Elder Liu said this, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
Chen Meng’er was already used to the bickering between the two old men. With a smile on her face, she swiftly poured a cup of tea for Elder Qu.
“Ah, my granddaughter is so considerate.” Elder Qu unceremoniously took the cup from Chen Meng’er and drank it in one gulp.
“What a boorish man. Such good tea has been ruined by you.”
“A boorish man is a boorish man. I have always been a boorish man, unlike some people who disregard the interests of the Liu family for their own interests.” Elder Qu said this with a pained expression.
“What’s going on? It looks like you’ve suffered quite a blow.” Elder Liu had rarely interfered in other matters. In the past few years, he had given power to Chen Meng’er, and the things he had to do had dwindled. He now lived a leisurely life.
He really did not know much about what had happened to his superiors.
On the other hand, when Chen Meng’er heard Elder Qu take the lead, she understood in her heart why Elder Qu was so angry.
From the looks of it, the person at the top was not slow in his actions. It should be said that this matter had made the person at the top anxious.
“The blow is not small, Elder Liu. I never would have thought that the brother who had gone to the battlefield with me and fought against the enemy together, who would even sacrifice his own life in order to protect his family and country, would actually turn out like this. For the benefit of his family, he would lose his country.” When Elder Qu said this, his heart was filled with anxiety.
“You’re not talking about the Lu family, are you?” Although Elder Liu was no longer in charge of things, there were some things that Elder Qu could point out to him.
“Yes. You know?” Elder Qu looked at Elder Liu and asked.
“Know what? That the Lu family is full of ambition?” Elder Liu asked back.
“Yes.” Elder Qu nodded and stared unblinkingly at Elder Liu, waiting for Elder Liu’s answer.
“I know. I’m not the only one who knows. I think many people in the capital know, but only those who have been close to the Lu family for the past few years don’t know. Do you think that old fellow from the Lu family is a pushover? Let me tell you directly, the few of you treat him as your own brother, but he doesn’t treat you as brothers at all. He only treats you as stepping stones for the Lu family to climb up the ranks.” Elder Liu also saw that he was familiar with Elder Qu, that was why he didn’t hesitate to say these things.
Otherwise, with Elder Liu’s temper, he wouldn’t be willing to pay attention to those trivial matters in the courtyard. In any case, it was just that the other party didn’t plot against him, so he didn’t care. “Is it just this matter?”
“It’s just this matter. Grandpa isn’t angry that easily. What he’s angry about is that the matter of my father and the others being captured by Liu Yi and Zhang Da is directly related to that person from the Lu family. It should be said that all of this was instigated by him from behind the scenes.” The one who spoke wasn’t Elder Qu, it was Chen Meng’er.
“Girl, you know about it too?” Elder Qu looked at Chen Meng’er with a shocked look.
“I know. But after dad and the others were captured by Zhang Da and Liu Yi, I sent people to investigate. Oh, I have all the evidence of the Lu family’s crimes over the years. Grandpa, do you want it? If you want it, I’ll go get it for you now. If you don’t want it, I’ll deal with it myself later.” Chen Meng’er already had all the evidence of the Lu family’s crimes in her hands.
Elder Qu thought for a moment. After he finished his mental struggle, he said to Chen Meng’er, “Girl, give it to me.”
