Tiger's homestead?

Li Weidong then remembered this matter.

Back then, Hu Zi borrowed money everywhere to grow mushrooms. He asked Zhu Zi to lend him money and obtain a mortgage contract for the homestead.

Now that Tiger has no money to repay, it's time to go back and reclaim the homestead.

He couldn't help but laugh as he thought about what was under the land.

"What's making you so happy?"

Shen Xiaoyan lay on Li Weidong's chest, her slender fingers circling his chest.

Li Weidong shuddered, and his cell phone almost fell out of his hand.

"Xiaoyan is next to you?"

Zhao Xiulian's loud voice rang out: "Xiaoyan, why don't you come to the village for the New Year?"

Then she changed her mind: "There are only ten days left until the New Year. It's lonely for you to be alone in the restaurant. Come to our house and it will be more lively!"

At first, she looked down on Shen Xiaoyan, thinking that a widow showing her face in public was unacceptable, and she was also afraid that her son might be bewitched by the widow.

Later, Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaoye got engaged. Shen Xiaoyan was also very emotionally intelligent, and during the time she lived in the Li family, she had completely won over his heart.

He then invited Shen Xiaoyan to celebrate the New Year with him.

Shen Xiaoyan laughed, glanced at Li Weidong, and said, "Auntie, this matter is not urgent. I'll see if I have time later."

Zhao Xiulian responded and then said, "Weidong, you shouldn't stay outside either. Hurry back and check on what to do with that house site."

"Also, the New Year is just around the corner, and we haven't bought any New Year's goods yet. Your sister and Xiaoye are on winter vacation and they keep saying they want to go to the market. You need to come back quickly!"

There's so much to do at the end of the year!

Li Weidong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiaoyan hugged him.

Li Weidong joked, "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with me?"

Shen Xiaoyan looked up at him, her eyes full of allure: "I said I couldn't bear to part with you, so you're not going back?"

Having just enjoyed a passionate encounter, the blush on her face hadn't faded, making her look incredibly alluring.

Li Weidong's mouth was dry, but he still pushed her away: "Stop messing around. If I don't go back, you'll really drain me dry."

During his stay at the hotel, Shen Xiaoyan pestered him every day, showing him what it meant to be like a wolf in his thirties.

He sat up and said while putting on his clothes, "If you really can't bear to leave, come back with me. Anyway, my mom said you can come over for the New Year."

Otherwise, it would be too desolate for Shen Xiaoyan, a widow, to be unable to return to either her husband's or her own family, and to be alone in a cold and lonely restaurant.

Shen Xiaoyan laughed: "If I really go, aren't you afraid your little fiancée will be jealous?"

"That girl has quite a temper!"

If someone who can set fire to someone else's house finds out that her husband has another woman, what would she do?

Li Weidong was speechless: "Stop messing around, this is between us..."

He carefully considered his words, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it properly.

His relationship with Shen Xiaoyan was purely accidental, but he couldn't bring himself to completely sever ties with her.

To be honest, he truly had feelings for Shen Xiaoyan.

But if he doesn't distance himself, he's even more reluctant to hurt Zhou Xiaoye.

"Look how nervous you are! I was just teasing you!"

Shen Xiaoyan chuckled and said while slowly putting on her clothes, "Our relationship is purely consensual. I'm a widow who lost her husband, and I'm not short of money. I've never thought about remarrying."

"You..."

She reached out and poked Li Weidong with her finger: "Don't worry, I won't force you to take responsibility."

Li Weidong felt relieved, but a sense of guilt welled up inside him.

Ultimately, women tend to suffer more losses in this matter.

Shen Xiaoyan saw through his thoughts and said seriously, "Alright, I've already said that, what are you still worried about!"

"When we talk about it, I'm the one who actually benefited!"

As she said this, she leaned closer to Li Weidong, touched his face, and sighed, "After all, you're young and handsome. If you really feel bad for me, then work hard to make money!"

"My sister will depend on you for the rest of her life!"

She was clearly talking about investment and shareholding, but the way she said it carried an inexplicable ambiguity.

Li Weidong grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms, exclaiming, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Even without this connection, if he changed Shen Xiaoyan's original path to becoming the richest woman, he would still take responsibility for her.

Shen Xiaoyan laughed so hard she nearly fell over, then kissed him on the cheek before saying, "Alright, alright, you should go back now."

Li Weidong hesitated and asked, "Are you really not coming to my house for the New Year?"

"I still have things to do at the store!"

Shen Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "If you're going to go, it's not now. You should go back first!"

Although the shop is now managed by Juanzi, Juanzi lacks experience, and the Chinese New Year is the busiest time for the restaurant, so how can she leave?

Li Weidong understood this principle, sighed, and then reluctantly went back.

...

In the village.

Tiger failed to harvest any mushrooms and was even beaten up and hospitalized.

He was seriously injured and should have been hospitalized for a period of time.

Unfortunately, since the person who committed the act wasn't caught, the medical expenses had to be paid out of pocket.

My family really didn't have any money, so we could only wait until the wound looked almost healed before taking him home to recover.

I had only been home for two days, and I was still bedridden when the debt collectors came to my door.

He borrowed a lot of money to grow mushrooms, from banks and loan sharks.

The bank didn't come, but the loan sharks rushed into the house just before the New Year.
