Li Ying and Hong Shui returned from work at six o'clock, and Li Ying stubbornly clung to her mother and brother, refusing to let them leave.

"Mom hasn't eaten at my house yet!"

Li Xiangdong chuckled and advised, "Mom, let's have dinner at Third Sister's house. If you two keep fighting, Da Xia will cry."

Sure enough, Daxia stood to the side, half-crying, staring wide-eyed at her grandmother and mother.

Zhao Sufang felt sorry for the child and was afraid that she would really frighten Daxia, so she stayed for dinner.

When Li Ying heard that her mother had come to arrange a marriage for her eldest brother, her mother-in-law agreed and immediately decided to go to her eighth sister-in-law's house to propose marriage the next morning.

After dinner, Zhao Sufang refused to stay overnight and the mother and son rode their bicycles home.

The moon is exceptionally large tonight, illuminating the ground in a bright white light, so I'm not worried about not being able to see the road.

The evening breeze still carried a bit of the daytime heat, and it felt soft and comfortable on my face.

Listening to the cicadas chirping in the trees by the roadside, Li Xiangdong felt incredibly fortunate.

Some people think that if they were reborn and traveled back in time, they would know about opportunities that people at that time did not know, and they would become the chosen ones, able to get rich easily.

But it's not that easy!

What China has in abundance is intelligent people.

Without money or capital, even if you know of an opportunity, you won't be able to seize it.

Fortunately, Jin Chanyi provided him with his first pot of gold. Thinking about the huge sum of money he had, he figured that as long as he waited patiently for a few years until the country allowed the buying and selling of houses, he could buy a few houses in Beijing and Shanghai, and his life would be set.

Thinking of the spacious apartment by the Huangpu River, Li Xiangdong pedaled his bike with even more energy.

More than half an hour later, the mother and daughter were almost at the entrance of Lijiapo Village when they suddenly spotted two dark figures!

Both mother and daughter saw it and were startled at the same time.

Zhao Sufeng patted her chest. "What are you doing so late at night?"

Are you dating?

Why does one of the figures look so much like his older brother?

The two dark figures also saw Zhao Sufang and her son, and hurriedly walked away.

As Zhao Sufang watched the dark figure walk further and further away, she asked suspiciously, "Why does that figure look like your older brother?"

Li Xiangdong did not reply.

When the mother and daughter returned home, Li Weijun was indeed not there. When asked, Li Zhen said that her older brother had taken a bowl of wild rabbit meat out and she didn't know where he had gone.

Zhao Sufang understood the situation, but didn't say much. She just secretly decided to speed up her son's matchmaking process.

Since Li Weijun wasn't sleeping at home, Zhao Sufang could only wait until the next day to talk to her eldest son about the blind date.

The next day, Li Weijun didn't go home; he said he took Li Wanshi to visit relatives.

On the morning of the third day, Li Weijun went home for breakfast. Li Jin said, "Go to your third sister's house for a blind date the day after tomorrow."

Li Jin's words were concise, but Li Weijun was taken aback: "What kind of blind date is this...?"

“You’re already twenty, aren’t you worried? I’ve already applied for a plot of land for you to build a house on. It’s an open space at the east end of the village, next to the village entrance. If this blind date goes through, I’ll have to build you a house.”

Although Li Jin had some reservations about Li Weijun, he was still the son he had doted on for so long, so he still had to build him a house and help him get married.

Hearing that his parents were going to build him a house, Li Weijun was quite happy, but it was just a blind date...

"Dad, Mom, I know a girl from the next village. She's a nice person, pretty, and quick."

Li Weijun is preparing to confront them.

Li Jin and Zhao Sufang were in a free-love relationship, and if their son had fallen for a girl from a normal family, they wouldn't have objected.

Li Jin remained calm and asked, "Who is she? What's her father's name?"

Li Weijun believed he knew about the Liu family's affairs; Liu Yuxiu had told him everything.

“My parents are useless, and we rely on my two older sisters to support the family. The men around us think that my two older sisters are easy to bully, so they want to take advantage of us. When my two older sisters disagree, they spread rumors about our family.”

Li Weijun deeply sympathized with Liu Yuxiu's plight.

Li Weijun decided to explain things properly to his parents, "Her father's name is Liu Dagai. Her father and mother don't like to work, but she is very hardworking."

Li Jin looked disappointed. "Didn't you ask around?"

Li Weijun dismissed it, saying, "Villagers gossip all the time, they can turn black into white. Why should I bother asking them?"

Li Jin didn't say anything, but took off his shoe, and before anyone could react, the shoe flew and hit Li Weijun's face.

Li Weijun's forehead was covered in dirt from being slapped on the forehead with the sole of a shoe. He questioned Li Jin with aggrieved expression, "This is fascist behavior! This is a new era, and you can't arrange marriages like this!"

After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.

Enraged, Li Jin shouted at his retreating back, "You brat, if you're so capable, build your own house and get married!"

Li Weijun felt wronged and wanted to cry. He had taken his demobilization pay and was now being asked to build a house and get married. If he had known this would happen, he should have lied to them and said that all his money had been stolen!

...

Li Qingshan's home.

Li Wanshi was looking at a letter repeatedly.

Last time, Li Wanshi gave Qin Lingdi one hundred yuan, but she didn't manage to extort three hundred yuan from her eldest son.

Li Wanshi made a scene, cried, and even tried to hang herself, but her eldest son, Li Jin, was now as hard-hearted as iron. He stuck to just three words: "No money!"

She could manipulate her son only because he was willing to let her. One day, the one who always suffered losses would stop suffering losses, and Li Wanshi would be left with nothing but anger.

Unable to get money from her son, she went to Qin Lingdi to ask for money.

Qin Lingdi had already divided the 3131 hundred yuan among his three sons, so where would he get the money to repay Li Wanshi?

Li Wanshi's attempt to steal a chicken backfired; unable to get her money back, she declared that she would stay at Qin Lingdi's house from now on.

Qin Lingdi racked her brains for a long time to get rid of this plague god, and finally she actually came up with a solution.

“Mother-in-law, right now your eldest son’s money is all in Xiao Ni’er’s hands. I have a way to make Xiao Ni’er hand over the money obediently.”

Li Wanshi didn't believe it at all. If there were such a good method, would Qin Lingdi tell her?

“Mother-in-law, a few days ago, that shameless mother of Xiao Ni sent a letter. Take this letter with you. If Xiao Ni wants to read it, make her pay three hundred yuan first!”

Li Wanshi knew a few words and saw that there were indeed words "Western Sichuan" on the envelope. She took the letter and threatened Qin Lingdi and his wife, "If this doesn't work, I'll come to your house again!"

Li Wanshi took the letter home but did not act rashly.

Her eldest son and his wife are completely different now than before. She needs to think carefully about how to make money from her trust!
