Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 698 - 697: Lost Weight

"Alright." Shen Qinglan nodded slightly. Compared to officials, she felt that a man who valued family was better.

Li Wei wasn’t one of those people who only read books without understanding life; he likely had his own ideas.

"County Magistrate Pei came yesterday," Qiu Li said, "specifically to persuade him, trying to convince my brother-in-law to continue, but he was still refused. Before leaving, he specially came to our house for a brief visit."

"County Magistrate Pei came too?" Shen Qinglan smiled, "It seems quite a few people are paying attention to my brother-in-law."

"Isn’t that so?" Qiu Li said, "He ranked fifth, and not only County Magistrate Pei, but also many people from the Li family have been arriving these days; they seem to be of notable status."

Indeed, but having studied this much, does it really matter whether the title is achieved or not?

Shen Qinglan whispered, "A scholar might get a small official position; it should be possible."

"It is possible." Qiu Li said, "County Magistrate Pei came yesterday, and Grandpa already asked, saying he could get a position like a secretary."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Since this is my brother-in-law’s decision, let him follow through."

"Father and Mother said the same thing. It’s just..." Qiu Li sighed, "The Li family seems to want him to continue the exams."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "Grandpa Li? Or someone else?"

"Grandpa Li didn’t say much. It’s Uncle Li and Aunt Li; they are persuading him to continue participating in the Metropolitan Examination."

"The Metropolitan Examination?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "Isn’t the exam held next March?"

Qiu Li nodded, "That’s what the elder cousin said."

Shen Qinglan pursed her lips, "Let’s see what my brother-in-law thinks."

Qiu Li nodded, "Father said that it’s fine either way, getting an official position isn’t wasted with this ranking."

"I’ll go later to ask my sister and brother-in-law’s opinions," Shen Qinglan said, "If my brother-in-law doesn’t want to continue the exams, I’ll have someone find him a small official position."

Actually, with Li Wei’s rank, even without my help, someone should naturally be willing to step forward and help.

Qiu Li nodded slightly and looked at her, "You’ve lost quite a bit of weight."

"Have I?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyes, "It’s fine, isn’t it?"

Qiu Li said, "You’ve lost more weight than before."

"Really?" Shen Qinglan sighed gently, "Maybe it’s because of traveling recently and not sleeping well."

Every time she traveled, her sleep quality drastically decreased; at night, her eyes would be closed, but her mind remained unusually alert.

In the inn it was like this, but upon arriving at the Luo Mansion, she was able to sleep a bit better.

After returning, last night was the only time she could sleep soundly.

"I’ll have someone catch a chicken and stew it for you to replenish your strength." Qiu Li said, "A young woman looks more lively with some flesh."

"Whether I replenish or not, I’ll be like this," Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll be fine after a few days of rest." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You definitely need to rest, but you should also replenish," Qiu Li said, "You’re always busy running around, so it’s no wonder you’re slim."

"You’re over-concerned, sister-in-law; I feel fine." She actually wasn’t much slimmer, just right.

She glanced at Qiu Li and noticed that Qiu Li had indeed gained some weight compared to before, looking much better.

In the past, Qiu Li was quite thin, not quite skin and bones, but close enough.

But since having a child, she not only gained weight but her skin was smoother too, looking like a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

"Have Uncle and Aunt visited?" Shen Qinglan changed the subject.

Qiu Li said, "On the second day of my brother-in-law’s success, Uncle and Aunt came by to offer congratulations; however, they left in a hurry."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, lowered her gaze to the sleeping Shen Le, and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
