“Let me think about it again.” Elder Qu still could not make a very concrete decision.
Chen Meng’er did not rush him. “Alright, take your time to think about it. There’s no rush.” Moreover, Chen Meng’er knew that sometimes, no matter how much you pushed, it was useless, only the person involved could think clearly. “Then Grandpa, take your time to think about it. I’ll go downstairs and make some snacks for you. Oh right, I’ll warn you again. You’re not allowed to smoke. If I find out again, you won’t have a share of my newly brewed plum blossom wine.”
“You brat, you’re as mean as your grandmother. Alright, Grandpa knows. However, we’ve already agreed before that this plum blossom wine is half for me and half for Elder Liu. You can’t go back on your word.” Upon hearing the promise, Elder Qu’s face, which had been drooping, finally had a smile on it.
This plum blossom wine was brewed by Chen Meng’er, who had nothing better to do, using the plum blossoms in her space and using the method she had found in an ancient brewing book on the bookshelf in her space study. The brewing method of this plum blossom wine was complicated and time-consuming. Fortunately, Chen Meng’er had her space, so she could brew a batch of it in a short period of time.
From the last time, Chen Meng’er took out a jar and gave everyone a taste. In the end, after Elder Qu and Elder Liu had a taste of the plum blossom wine, the two of them hugged the jar and did not let go. In the end, this jar of plum blossom wine was split equally between the two of them. Zhuge Yu and the others did not even have a taste.
Because of this, Fatty complained in Chen Meng’er’s ear many times. In the end, Chen Meng’er secretly took another jar from the space and gave it to Zhuge Yu and the others to taste. Only then did Fatty let go of Chen Meng’er’s ear.
However, from then on, this Elder Liu, Elder Qu, Zhuge Yu and the others would come and ask Chen Meng’er where she got the plum blossom wine and if she still had it. Chen Meng’er was so annoyed that she wanted to hide when she saw them.
Chen Meng’er had plenty of plum blossom wine in her space, but she couldn’t take it out openly. The first two times, she had secretly bought it. She could say that she bought the plum blossom and brewed it for fun, but, if she took out too much, it would be hard to explain.
Chen Meng’er had just told them that she brewed the plum blossom wine for fun. Because of the limited space, she only brewed these two jars. Elder Qu and Elder Liu didn’t make a sound, when she turned around. They cleaned up a room for Chen Meng’er and specially made it for her to brew wine.
Needless to say, these two elders were really good when it came to making things. In any case, the tools needed to brew wine were quite well prepared.
Chen Meng’er also happened to use this brewing room as a cover to start brewing wine.
“I have never been untrustworthy. Only you, Grandpa, have broken your promise. You promised to see that I don’t smoke, but you actually smoke again. Moreover, I catch you every time.” Chen Meng’er very impolitely gave Elder Qu a shove.
Elder Qu was embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, “Ah, you lass. Really, I know. I promise not to smoke in the future.”
Chen Meng’er went downstairs to the kitchen. She had not been to the Qu family mansion for a long time.
It was not that she did not like the Qu family. It could be said that almost all of them doted on her very much. However, it was precisely because she was too doted on by the Qu family that her aunts felt very uncomfortable looking at her.
However, Chen Meng’er estimated that what made her aunts feel even more uncomfortable was that her grandfather, Elder Qu, had revealed in the past that he wanted her to inherit the Qu family and become the head of the Qu family.
This wasn’t something that Chen Meng’er had made a wild guess about. Her aunts and the others had often tried to get information out of her when they were chatting with her.
Chen Meng’er was speechless. Did she look so kind? Did it make people think that she was so easy to get information out of?
“Meng’er, have you talked to your grandfather? Why are you here? Hurry up and go sit in Grandma’s room. Oh right, what kind of snacks do you want to eat? Grandma will bring them to you.” Madam Qu saw Chen Meng’er appear in the kitchen. She quickly came over, held Chen Meng’er’s hand, and was about to pull her out of the kitchen door.
“Ah, Grandma, don’t pull me. I came down to make some food for you guys. Grandpa is still waiting to taste my cooking,” Chen Meng’er said coquettishly as she pulled on Madam Qu’s hand.
Chen Meng’er pulled on Madam Qu’s hand. While she was acting coquettishly, she was using her mutated brain to examine Madam Qu’s body.
Previously, Chen Meng’er had said that she would ask Madam Qu to undergo surgery after her body recovered. However, Madam Qu’s recovery had never been as good as Chen Meng’er’s wishes, so the time for the surgery had been pushed back. Elder Qu had mentioned to Chen Meng’er several times that he wanted her to perform surgery on Madam Qu, but Chen Meng’er had rejected him each time.
Chen Meng’er did not dare take the slightest risk with Madam Qu.
One had to know that Madam Qu was already at such an old age. If she did not do well, she would not be able to get off the operating table.
Fortunately, Chen Meng’er had been helping her recuperate during this period of time, so Madam Qu’s body had not changed at all. If Chen Meng’er had not continuously helped Madam Qu, regardless of whether Madam Qu was still around at this time, she would definitely not be like a normal person who could speak, laugh, eat, and sleep.
And during this period of time, Madam Qu’s body had recovered quite well. She was not far from being able to undergo surgery. Chen Meng’er had a concrete understanding of Madam Qu’s condition. She also knew that in a while, she would have to stew some medicinal cuisine to nourish Madam Qu’s body.
Chen Meng’er’s medicinal cuisine was different from what was sold in the market. It was genuine medicinal cuisine. It really had a recuperating effect on a person’s body.
“This old man is just greedy. Little girl, you don’t know. Ever since he ate the food you cooked, your grandfather has always talked bad about the chefs at home. Now, when the chefs at home see him, they have a headache.” Madam Qu scolded her husband. However, when she recalled the cooking skills of her precious granddaughter, there was really nothing she could say. “However, it’s not your grandfather’s fault for always thinking about the food you cooked.” As she spoke, Madam Qu smiled first.
“Grandma, you have to eat more in a while.”
