166 Chapter 165, Why Are They Back?

Shen Mei brought Shen Lingxue to the side of the road and wiped her hands on her clothes. Then she reached out and took out one of the buns from the bag and handed it to Shen Lingxue.

“Come, be careful, don’t burn your hands!”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lingxue couldn’t wait to take the bun over.

She was really hungry. The steamed bun was finished in two or three bites. Before she could swallow it completely, she looked at Shen Mei with eager eyes.

Shen Mei hesitated for a moment before passing another one over.

Although she was also very hungry, she could still endure it. Lingxue was a child, she couldn’t endure being hungry.

Ever since yesterday morning, the two of them had no money to eat. Being able to endure until now, Ling Xue was already considered obedient.

There was only one bun left in the bag. Shen Mei pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

The fragrance of the bun filled the surroundings, causing her stomach to start rumbling. She took it out and was about to eat it.

However, before she could take a bite of the bun, Shen Lingxue suddenly stretched out her hand and took the remaining bun.

Shen Lingxue’s mouth was stuffed with buns as she said indistinctly, “This is mine too.”

At this moment, she was holding a bun in each hand. She took a bite with her left hand and another with her right hand.

Shen Mei was in disbelief at first, but then she sighed helplessly.

It didn’t matter, there would be food soon.

When she returned home, she would apologize to Ji Jianguo and admit her mistake.

Ji Jianguo would definitely forgive her. Even if Ji Jianguo didn’t forgive her, there was still her family!

No matter what, she could still earn a living.

Although she had been consoling herself like this, she couldn’t help but look at the steamed bun in Shen Lingxue’s hand when she smelled the fragrance of the steamed bun.

She swallowed her saliva. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. Shen Lingxue was about to finish all the steamed buns.

She coaxed in a low voice, “Lingxue, can you give Mommy a bite? Just one bite!”

Shen Lingxue did not even raise her head when she heard Shen Mei’s words. She quickly stuffed the remaining buns into her mouth.

As she chewed with great effort, she blinked at Shen Mei.

Shen Mei’s eyes turned red when she saw her daughter like this.

She had done so much for her daughter, but…

At nine o’clock in the morning, Li Xu closed the shop door.

She went to the trademark office and asked about the precautions for registering a trademark.

She walked around the county again to see if there was a shop that helped design the trademark.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t one!

On the way back, Li Xu happened to meet a seller of ice-sugar gourd, so she bought three and brought them back.

After running all morning, she didn’t want to cook anymore, so she went straight to the shop and packed two large bag of dumplings.

She happened to pass by the school gate on the way, so she held her things and waited at the school gate.

Hu Chunli was also there. When she saw Li Xu, she greeted her warmly.

“Yuanyuan’s Mother, are you going out?” Hu Chunli asked.

Li Xu nodded, “Yes, I went out to do something.”

“Oh right, I see that the children are eating out every morning now. I was just about to tell you that I quit my job to take care of Jingyi. There’s plenty of time now. If you are okay, tell the children to have breakfast at my place in the morning. I made it myself. It may not taste as good as the ones outside, but it’s clean,” Hu Chunli said in a low voice.

According to the teacher and Jingyi, Yuanyuan was taking care of her daughter at school, so Hu Chunli had always felt a little embarrassed. If she could really do something for Ji Yuanyuan, she would not feel too embarrassed.

Although Hu Chunli’s suggestion moved Li Xu, it was not good for her three children to disturb her every day.

She politely declined, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. My three children have a strong body and it’s convenient for them to eat outside.”

After saying that, Li Xu felt that she had said something wrong.

Yang Jingyi’s health was not good, but she said that her children have a strong body, Jingyi’s Mother would not think of something bad, right?

As she thought of this, she looked a little embarrassed, “Jingyi’s Mother, I…”

Hu Chunli waved her hand generously, “It’s fine, how can I be so petty?”

As they spoke, the four children had already come out.

Ji Yuanyuan broke free from Yang Jingyi’s hand and quickly ran toward Li Xu.

Li Xu picked her up with one hand and kissed her on the face.

Ji Zi’ang also ran over, but he was not looking at Li Xu. Instead, he was looking at the candied haws in Li Xu’s hand.

Li Xu gave one of the skewers to Ji Zi’ang and realized that her brain was not working properly.

Why did she buy three skewers for four children?

Seeing that Yang Jingyi was also looking at them eagerly, Li Xu discussed with Ji Zi’ang, “Can you share with Brother?”

Ji Zi’ang nodded.

Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief and passed one of the skewers to Yang Jingyi.

Li Xu brought the children back to the store. She poured the dumplings into the plate and took out the chopsticks, “Eat quickly, after you’re done, go home and take a nap.”

The three children took the chopsticks and nodded obediently.

Li Xu changed her clothes and was about to speak when the store door suddenly opened.

“Welcome…” She turned around and saw Zhang Kun, “Why are you here?”

Zhang Kun reached out and placed a bag of daily necessities on the cashier counter, “I’ve prepared food for them, so they can eat it themselves. I thought about coming over to take a look. How about the news about the trademark? This is from the company, I can’t use it.”

Seeing Zhang Kun’s nose turn red, Li Xu walked forward helplessly, “It’s pretty cold, right? Why are you wearing so little?”

She stretched out her hand and patted Zhang Kun’s shoulder. She didn’t know where he got the dirt from.

“It’s alright, it’s not that cold!” Zhang Kun smiled foolishly.

Inside the shop, it was warm.

Outside the shop, across the road, there were two pairs of eyes staring at them hatefully.

Shen Mei looked at Li Xu’s face. Her teeth were almost crushed by her.

She was younger than Li Xu and had more tricks than her. She had worked hard to snatch Ji Jianguo away from her, but in the end, how did she end up in this situation?

She touched her face. She had betrayed Ji Jianguo and followed that bastard. She had thought that he was more powerful than Ji Jianguo and she and her daughter could live a good life.

But who knew that he had a wife and children, and she was not the only lover.

Her face was not even scratched by his wife, but by another woman, be it his third or fourth mistress.

It was laughable that that bastard actually chased the mother and daughter out for the sake of that woman.

The money she worked so hard to earn for him was not given to her at all.

At the thought of this, Shen Mei gnashed her teeth in hatred.

How was Li Xu better than her? Why was she smiling so happily?

At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and saw the two people across the road.

She was completely stunned. Shen Mei and Shen Lingxue? Why are they back?

Her gaze met Shen Lingxue’s gaze. She rolled her eyes and looked at Li Xum “Mommy, look…”

She reached out and pointed at Shen Lingxue and her daughter.

Li Xu followed her finger and looked over. When she saw Shen Lingxue and her daughter, she was also shocked.
