Chapter 71: Pretending to be rich

Li Guangyuan smiled and said, "Not really?" But he felt something else in his heart.

Lin Jiayi didn't explain much. Even if Qin Yang didn't look for a woman outside, and brought back a son for her to raise, what difference would it make?

She is now looking forward to Lin Chuxia returning to her parents' home today. Just as she envied Lin Chuxia in her last life, she will make Lin Chuxia envy her as much in this life.

As the two were talking, they heard a pleasant bicycle bell from the front, and then they saw Li Ergou riding a brand new bicycle, turning from the side road.

Seeing the two of them greet each other enthusiastically, "Brother Guangyuan, sister-in-law, are you going out?"

Li Guangyuan responded with a smile, but Lin Jiayi's eyes fell on the brand new bicycle.

"Is this your new bicycle?"

"Yes," Li Ergou said with a smile, "My mother found a wife for me, and she insisted on a new bicycle as a betrothal gift. Fortunately, Brother Guangyuan was able to buy our bicycle, otherwise our family would not have that much money to buy a new one."

"Why are you saying all this? We are brothers," Li Guangyuan smiled innocently.

Lin Jiayi's eyes almost popped out. Did Li Guangyuan use her dowry money to become a good person?

After the others left, Lin Jiayi pinched Li Guangyuan again and said, "Is this the reason why you bought Li Ergou's bicycle?"

Li Guangyuan inhaled in pain, "Wife, what you said is true. I bought the bicycle for business. Li Ergou's family just wanted to sell bicycles, so I bought it. Don't worry, I will definitely put your business first. Li Ergou, I just did you a favor."

"You're smart," Lin Jiayi snorted coldly.

Li Guangyuan laughed twice, his eyes twinkling.

Xiaoqingshan Village is next to Daqingshan Village. The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy gifts and soon arrived at the Lin family.

When Mother Lin saw her eldest daughter coming back, she smiled and asked her son to make tea and water, and let the two of them into the house.

Lin Jiayi glanced around the room and asked, "Is the second sister not back yet?"

Mother Lin replied nonchalantly, "Who knows if she will come back? Your brother-in-law is not at home, what is she going to do alone?"

"Whether her brother-in-law is at home or not, she should come back to see her parents. Her parents raised her and found such a good family. Second sister is a sensible person and will definitely come back to see you."

Mother Lin stuffed the washed pears into her daughter's hands and said, "If she were half as sensible as you, I would be satisfied. You don't know that Lanlan has found a job in the city and is now a salaried person. If I had known, I would not have let the second child get married so early. If she could have found a job, she could have helped support the family."

Sun Lanlan is the same age as Lin Chuxia. It's really true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel nauseous.

Lin Jiayi lives in the neighboring village and also heard that Sun Lanlan and her third brother found jobs in the city.

Although I have the same idea as my mother, there is nothing I can do now.

However, compared to working and earning a salary to support the family, she would rather Lin Chuxia marry Qin Yang and live as a widow.

"The second child doesn't have that ability. Even if she stays at home, she can't find a job like Sun Lanlan. Mom, don't count on her. Guangyuan's business is now on the rise, and he makes money every day. When I have money, I will let you enjoy life."

Mother Lin was very proud when she heard this, "I knew my love for you was not in vain."

When it was almost noon, a figure came in from the gate of the courtyard. It was Lin Chuxia.

"When did my second sister learn to ride a bicycle?"

Her eyes fell on the bicycle and saw that it was older than the one in their house, and she suddenly felt relieved.

Seeing Lin Chuxia put the net bag on the handlebars, she raised a sneer at the corner of her lips, "We are all family, so don't pretend to be rich. It's not easy for your family to save up such a small amount, right? What's more, Qin Yang is not at home. Even if you don't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mom won't fight with you for anything."

In her previous life, all the family income was controlled by the old lady. Even after the family was divided, she still had to ask the old lady for money.

Lin Chuxia looked at her calmly: "So, elder sister is living a good life?"

Lin Jiayi was waiting for her to ask this question, and raised her chin proudly, "Not bad, when it comes to getting married, the most important thing is that the man cares about you. Like our Guangyuan, he listens to me in everything, and the money is in our hands. We can get whatever we want with just one word."

Then he smiled and said to Lin Chuxia, "If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me. Your brother-in-law and I will definitely help you."

She deliberately emphasized the word "brother-in-law". Li Guangyuan is now successful and she has tasted victory.

Lin Chuxia took off the net bag and gave it to Lin Jiadong. It seemed that she didn't understand the meaning of her words. She just said, "I don't need the help of elder sister and brother-in-law. I am old now. Elder sister must help the family more, so that the good marriage that mother found for you will not be in vain."

She didn't say find, but deliberately said change. Lin Jiayi's face immediately became unhappy, "What do you mean change? I was going to marry Guangyuan anyway."

Seeing that the two of them brought up this topic again, Lin's mother spoke with a cold face,

"Okay, let's all go inside. If the journey is long, you should go early. You don't want your family to wait for you."

Lin Chuxia came just in time for dinner. She couldn't sever ties with her parents' family, nor did she want to waste too much time in this home.

At the dinner table, Lin's mother talked about Sun Lanlan's work again, but Lin Chuxia ignored it and just lowered her head to eat her meal.

When Lin Jiayi mentioned that Li Guangyuan was doing a vegetable business, she was a little surprised.

"Although we are only a small vegetable business now, don't underestimate this business. We can earn several dollars every day, which is much better than farming alone," Lin Jiayi looked at Lin Chuxia proudly, "I know that my second sister has no say in the Qin family, and Qin Yang's salary will not reach you, but don't worry, wait until your brother-in-law and I expand our business, then we will find you a job to make a living, and help you a little. You won't have a hard time. Just don't complain about your life when the time comes."

Lin Chuxia looked at her eyes full of malice and could guess what she was thinking.

It's nothing more than wanting to humble her to the dirt.

She chuckled, "I appreciate your kindness, elder sister. I'm doing fine in the Qin family, so you don't have to worry about me."

Unexpectedly, Li Guangyuan would take this path in his life. It seems that money is more real than any other ability.

Of course she knew that the reason Li Guangyuan took this path in his life was closely related to the money given by Lin Jiayi.

Li Guangyuan is not someone who is easily persuaded.

The man looks honest and simple, but he is actually thoughtful, stubborn and calculating.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been competing with his mother and two sisters in a battle of wits and courage, and hardly ever speaks the truth.

After dinner, Lin's mother was busy packing things for Lin Jiayi.

"Although these pears are small, they are very sweet. I asked your uncle Sun for them. There are no fruit trees in Xiaoqingshan Village. You can take them back and taste them."

Lin Jiayi looked at Xiaoli with some disdain, "Aren't there any bigger ones?"

"Don't people sell the bigger ones for money? If I hadn't asked for these, they wouldn't have been willing to give them to me."

Lin Jiayi looked at Lin Chuxia again, with a smile on her lips, "Mom, don't you want to decorate my second sister?"

This big bag was obviously filled with things for her.
