Are you suggesting I inherit three wives' households? I'll marry my eldest brother and bec

Chapter 253 Are you worthy?

The two women, carrying some gifts, warmly approached Grandma Shen upon seeing her: "Grandma, we were worried that you might not be used to life here, so we brought my sister to visit you."

The speaker was Luo Zhu, who had a filial and obedient look on her face.

Grandma Shen frowned slightly: These two children usually stay in the courtyard over there, and apart from coming once with their mother, they've never come alone. What's the matter with them suddenly showing up today?

Shen Li didn't speak, but simply stood quietly to the side and observed.

Luo Zhu's gaze fell on Lu Zhou, a blush rising to her cheeks, and she asked softly, "This must be the third brother of the Lu family, right?"

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow, his tone casual: "Hey, don't call me that. We're not even sure who's older or younger yet."

Luo Zhu's cheeks flushed even more, and she whispered, "I heard last time that you were also taking the college entrance exam this year. So am I. I'll only turn eighteen at the end of the year."

Shen Li thought to herself: Okay, then you are indeed a bit younger. Lu Zhou will turn eighteen in May.

Lu Zhou didn't dwell on the age difference and nodded, saying, "Alright, then I am indeed a little older than you."

Luo Zhu then asked, "I heard the college entrance exam results are out. How did you do, Brother Lu?"

Lu Zhou glanced at her indifferently: "Did you do well on the exam yourself? Why are you asking about other people's scores?"

He used to hate it when people asked about his grades, and he still does, especially dislikes strangers asking. He finds it annoying to hear from anyone except his sister, not even his mother.

Luo Zhu was taken aback and explained somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking casually."

Suddenly, Nuannuan spoke up, her voice clear and bright, "Third Uncle is the top scholar in the province!"

Luo Zhu and Luo Ju next to her were stunned—he was actually the provincial top scorer! Such an amazing achievement!

They already thought Lu Zhou was good-looking and the Lu family was rich, so Shen Li was really lucky.

Unexpectedly, Lu's third brother not only comes from a good family and is good-looking, but also has outstanding academic performance!

I heard the Lu family has an older brother, so what about her...?

If Shen Li could marry into the Lu family, why couldn't she?

The two sisters each had their own ideas.

Grandma Shen didn't quite understand at first.

But it only took a few words.

Then you'll understand what it means.

Grandma Shen looked at the two of them, then said to Shen Li, "These two sisters came to see us. You two go and do what you need to do!"

Shen Li understood: Grandma wanted to get everyone away.

"it is good."

She then looked at the two sisters: "Since you've come all this way to see Grandma, why don't you stay here and keep her company?"

Shen Li led Lu Zhou, Lu Nan, and Nuan Nuan back to the backyard, and Grandpa Yu also left.

Only Wang Ma and Grandma Shen remained in the main hall.

Seeing the two sisters still gazing out the door, Grandma Shen said, "Alright, sit down! Since you're here, chat with me for a bit."

Luo Zhu looked utterly disappointed; his expression couldn't be clearer.

Grandma Shen looked at her, not because she looked down on her granddaughter—when choosing a wife, one must consider the mother-in-law. With the third son's personality, what family with good conditions would choose such a mother-in-law?

As for these children, apart from the eldest granddaughter who has some ability, she is even more arrogant;

The next three are even less capable and have no chance of marrying into a wealthy family.

Even if you're lucky enough to marry into a good family, you might not be able to stay together. It's better to find someone down-to-earth and settle down for a peaceful and stable life.

"Don't even think about Lu Zhou, you have no hope."

Luo Zhu, realizing she had been exposed, quickly protested, "Grandmother, what are you saying! We just came to see you."

"Alright! Since you've come to see me, I'll be frank with you—have you registered for university yet?"

Luo Zhu replied, "I haven't chosen a school yet. Universities in Beijing are too difficult to get into, so I can only consider those in other provinces."

"So what if I'm from another province? When I was in college, besides studying, I also tried to find a guy from a well-off family so I could get married after graduation."

Luo Zhu retorted, "Where else in the university is there anyone more outstanding than Lu Zhou?"

Grandma Shen retorted, "Are you good enough for her? Don't outstanding people know how to be selective?"

Luo Zhu cried out in grievance, "Grandma..."

"I'm serious, don't be short-sighted like your mother. You need to broaden your horizons."

It was terribly hot outside, but the house had high ceilings and the room was fanned, so it didn't feel stuffy.

Seeing this, Shen Li suddenly sensed a business opportunity: mobile phones are such complex things that they can be studied slowly; but rice cookers and electric fans can be put into production first!

Second Brother still has too few capable people at his disposal. Why not simply establish headquarters in the capital? Talented people are much easier to find in the capital than elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Shen Li immediately entrusted the child to Lu Nan: "Xiao Nan, you take care of Nuannuan for a while."

"Sister Li, where are you going?" Lu Nan asked.

Shen Li shook her head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly have something to take care of and need to go out for a bit."

Lu Zhou suggested, "Let's go together, so you'll have someone to keep you company."

Shen Li glanced at Lu Zhou's tall figure and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She told Lu Zhou to wait by the car while she went to the front hall to get the keys.

In the front hall, Grandma Shen was still earnestly advising the two sisters, but judging from their expressions, they clearly hadn't listened to a word she said.

"Grandma, I have to go out for a bit."

Grandma Shen nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

"Okay, I won't be back for lunch, so don't wait for me."

"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen in a bit," Wang Ma replied.

Lu Zhou had no objection to Shen Li's impulsive nature; he simply followed her silently without even asking where they were going.

After following Shen Li around in circles for three hours, and with noon fast approaching, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Li, what are you looking for?"

"factory."

"factory?"

"right."

"What do you want the factory for?"

"We produce electric fans and rice cookers." Shen Li recalled that if she remembered correctly, electric fans were only small and the technology was limited; rice cookers were only started to be researched in the last few years.

It's not too late to start production now—with finished products in hand, what's there to be unable to research?

What is a rice cooker?

"You can cook rice simply by plugging it in; there's no need to burn charcoal at all."

"That's amazing?"

"you do not say."

The two wandered around the capital for a whole day but still couldn't find a suitable place.

Shen Li's idea was clear: buy an idle factory building and then purchase equipment.

She suddenly remembered that there might be relevant equipment in the space, but that didn't matter—even if there wasn't, she could ask Jerry; such equipment must exist overseas.

But... Oh no, where did she put Jerry's phone number?

If you really need it, you'll have to dig it out and look for it.

Actually, she originally wanted to hand over the electric fan matter to Lu Cheng, but then she thought that Lu Cheng already had enough work on his hands, so she decided to forget it. She couldn't put all the work on him, otherwise he would be exhausted and she would lose her husband.
