The relationship between people is also a form of inheritance.

Although Yue Zhongqi found Chen Rou when she was already an adult, he never said anything extra. He simply told her that her parents were killed by drug dealers and recruited her into the army, without giving her any special treatment.

However, because of Yue Zhongqi's kindness to her, Chen Rou naturally wanted to be kind to Jianmei as well.

She also hopes that her younger sister can have the same rebellious spirit as Chen Juan, break free from her family of origin, and become a completely new person.

However, she had lived in an orphanage since childhood and had never experienced a complete family life, so she was not very good at getting along with Nie Zhao's family, especially Nie Jiayu, Nie Jiajun, and Nie Han.

She will treat whoever she likes with sincerity and offer help, but she won't think too much about it.

So she said, "Sister-in-law, Jianmei is very kind and has a strong sense of justice. She's a good girl."

Li Xia said, “I’m not bad either, but my childhood environment was just like Jianmei’s. You know Li Gang, right? That damned ingrate. I paid for everything from his schooling to his marriage. But even today, if I hadn’t come to Hong Kong to study, I still wouldn’t be able to get rid of him. It’s the same with Jianmei. I can’t get rid of her mother.”

Although Li Da the Cripple and his three sons are already dead.

But Li Jianmei's mother is still alive, and she also has a daughter-in-law and two little grandsons running around.

Li Xia continued, "Because Aunt Li's daughter-in-law is rich and has some kind of Taiwan Compatriot Certificate, she often comes to Hong Kong and always tries to find out about you in roundabout ways. If they knew that Jianmei was at your house, they would start clinging to you from now on."

Rich people won't bother to inquire about poor people, but poor people, especially those with ulterior motives, like to target rich people. After hearing that Li Xia had a relative who was a Hong Kong businessman, Li Da's wife often tried to find out more about her.

She even instigated Li Xia's uncle and aunt to cause trouble at the Sanmao Factory at the drop of a hat.

The leaders of the Sanmao factory didn't care, so they started petitioning, making up all sorts of excuses: their daughter was unfilial and didn't support them.

Since the higher-ups were unaware of the situation, they would naturally write a letter instructing them to return to the Sanmao factory.

If the leaders of the Sanmao factory don't care, they'll make a fuss every day. But if they do care, they'll have to pay them 30 or 50 yuan each time to shut them up. But they don't actually work, yet they act like regular employees, coming once a month. Who can stand that?

So not only after Li Xia and Chen Ke got married, Chen Ke's allowances were almost entirely taken away by his uncle's family in recent years, but ever since they had Chen Rou, a Hong Kong businessman relative, their family has become even more greedy.

Fortunately, not everyone in the village was a vicious criminal. Someone told Li Xia that Li Da Quezi's wife was behind it all, and Aunt Li was secretly giving them advice and telling them what to do.

Li Xia was already extremely annoyed by this matter, and when she heard that Jianmei was with Chen Rou, she was even more worried.

Chen Rou thought about it and agreed. If Jianmei was an orphan like she used to be, things would be easier to handle. But children will inevitably love their mothers, so why would Aunt Li instigate her to do bad things?

That's the advantage of having a mother. If it were someone else, they wouldn't put themselves in Chen Rou's shoes and only consider things from Chen Rou's perspective. She's also an obedient child: "Okay, I'll think of another way to deal with her."

When Li Xia entered the tunnel for the first time, she was quite startled. But when she came out, she patted her chest and exclaimed, "I've actually entered a movie, and a color movie at that!"

The apartment arranged for her was in Central, which is also the most bustling area on Hong Kong Island.

There was a bit of traffic, so Chen Rou rolled down the electric window so Li Xia could look out.

Li Xia is like Grandma Liu visiting the city. She's already surprised enough by the traffic jam she sees for the first time, but when she happens to pass by the racetrack, she exclaims, "My goodness, what a huge expanse of green grass! What are they going to do with that grass?"

Chen Rou didn't want to explain everything to her, so she smiled and said, "You'll understand once you get used to it."

Passing by another building, she exclaimed with childlike surprise, "That's called a sightseeing elevator. I've heard them mention it before."

Chen Rou asked with a smile, "What else did you hear people say?"

Li Xia was a little embarrassed to say, "I heard that the food here is very expensive, and my company only reimburses a portion of it. I also heard that there are scholarships at school, but you have to take an exam to get them. I'll try my best and try to graduate in three years."

Chen Rou originally wanted to say that one of the scholarships was set up for Li Xia and funded by Nie Zhao, but she could get it as long as her grades weren't terrible. However, she decided against it and didn't mention it.

Her experience is that everyone has a tendency to be lazy, and if they have someone to rely on, they will gradually lose the desire to work hard.

Li Xia's grades are poor again; she only scored 500,000 in English. If we put some pressure on her, she might actually do better.

The apartment was on the 16th floor, which wasn't considered high in Central. Chen Rou would make a few comments and seem quite surprised when she saw Li Xia in the car, but she fell silent once she entered the apartment lobby and met the apartment staff.

Because she needed to teach Li Xia how to go up and down stairs, take her to the market, school, supermarket, and handle various trivial matters such as turning on and off water and electricity, showering, and gas, Chen Rou also called the apartment manager.

Having the manager provide a step-by-step explanation and give Li Xia a user manual would be much more comprehensive than her rambling and saying whatever comes to mind.

Li Xia is a typical relative from the countryside, and her quilt is so big that it's almost impossible for her to fit through the door.

However, she didn't complain about the small room. On the contrary, she was very happy to see that the room was small and kept praising it.
