But this time, Shen Jize did not indulge her.

"Weiwei, I thought you knew what you were doing."

"I was wrong, please don't be so mean. I promise you, it will never happen again, okay? And I really know my limits. You've seen it yourself, I don't work many hours a day at all."

No matter how Lin Wei explained, it was no use. Shen Jize forcibly took back her right to manage the company and forced her to stay at home to take care of her child for half a year.

“I’m not saying you can’t manage the company. I’ll handle the work, and you just need to make the final decisions. That’s how most big bosses in companies operate. You don’t need to make yourself so tired.”

“I know you don’t work more than a few hours a day, but those few hours are clearly due to you cutting back on your work, which is caused by high-intensity work. So, Weiwei, this is my decision, and I won’t allow you to refuse.”

Shen Jize looked serious, as if he was suppressing his anger.

Lin Wei had been with him for so many years, and Shen Jize had never given her the cold shoulder before. This was the first time, and it made her realize that Shen Jize also had a temper with her.

Lin Wei was really hesitant to refuse. "Okay, fine, I'll do as you say. Just like when I was pregnant, don't be so fierce. I won't go to the company, okay?"

Shen Jize sighed, "Weiwei, I'm only thinking about your health. It's not that I don't want you to work. In six months, once you've recovered, I definitely won't stop you from going back to work, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I agree, don't be angry."

At this time, Lin Wei was unaware of how serious her illness was. It wasn't until she stayed in the hospital for half a month that she understood why Shen Jize was so nervous.

“Who has a fever that long? Aren’t you feeling uncomfortable? Go back and rest well. To be honest, even in the old days, the factory’s maternity leave was three months. Yours is way too early.”

Lin Xiaomeng held the child, constantly complaining about Lin Wei.

It wasn't that she didn't want to speak up before, but that she was afraid to.

She thought Lin Wei knew what was going on and genuinely felt better, but little did she know that Lin Wei was clueless.

Lin Wei felt exhausted. "Aunt, I know. I've already promised Jize that I'll take a good rest. Judging by the days, I'll be resting until at least after the New Year. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of myself at home."

At this point, Lin Wei said, "Aunt, since I'm resting at home, why don't you send Yuanyuan over? I'll take care of him for the next six months."

Since starting university, Lin Wei has never had any free time. The responsibility of taking care of Lin Yuan has always fallen on Lin Xiaomeng. Now that she has some free time, she feels that she should be aware of this responsibility regardless of whether Lin Xiaomeng agrees or not.

really.

Lin Xiaomeng did not agree.

However, Lin Xiaomeng also has something to say about Lin Yuan's matter.

After the two returned to the Shen family home, they went to the master bedroom on the second floor. Lin Xiaomeng locked the door and said to Lin Wei, "Weiwei, what are your thoughts on Yuanyuan?"

"ah."

The question seemed rather strange, and Lin Wei didn't quite understand it.

"What, what are you thinking?"

"It's about Yuanyuan. Actually, I'm a little worried about Yuanyuan, but not about him, I'm worried about you."

"What do I have to worry about?" Lin Wei still didn't understand Lin Xiaomeng's meaning.

"Your mom, that's not nice to say. You're such a 'brother-supporting demon.' You're your mom's own child, and you have a younger brother. I'm worried about you..."

Before Lin Xiaomeng could finish speaking, Lin Wei unconsciously leaned back, clearly resistant to the term "brother-supporting demon".

"Auntie, are you worried that I'll become a 'brother-supporting demon'? No, I won't."

“You’ve arranged Yuanyuan’s life so well and taken such good care of her. You’re her older sister, but you’re shouldering the responsibilities of a mother. You can be good to Yuanyuan, he’s your own brother, but you’re already married. In time, Shen Jize will inevitably feel unhappy,” Lin Xiaomeng said worriedly.

"Aunt, you're really worrying too much. I'm good to Yuanyuan because we're the closest relatives in the world, and I raised him. I think it's only right that I'm good to him."

“Aunt Ke, it’s not that I have no desires for Yuanyuan. I bought him an apartment a long time ago. Firstly, because the housing prices were indeed cheap at that time, it was a good deal. Secondly, having an apartment would give Yuanyuan and me a sense of security.”

“I also spent money to raise him, but that was based on the fact that we were both orphans and depended on each other for survival. I will even support him until he graduates from university at the age of 22. But more importantly, he needs to work hard for himself. Aunt, I am just her sister, not her mother, and I will never become a brother-supporting demon like my mother.”

Seeing that Lin Wei was sensible, Lin Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief.

“You have no idea how worried I am that you’ll become like your mother. I would be happy if you were good to Yuanyuan, but I’m worried that this kind of goodness might go too far, and that would be bad. Besides, you’re married after all…”

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm clear-headed. Everything I have is earned through my own hard work. Why can't Yuanyuan do the same? Children without parents learn to be independent early. Yuanyuan is already 10 years old. He should understand this principle. Besides, my inspiring and hardworking image will surely leave a mark on his heart. Does he not want to work hard himself, start his own business, and become a big boss?"

At that time, Lin Yuan didn't really have this grand idea.

enterprise?

The big boss?

That's utterly absurd.

But how could one not have some ulterior motives after being exposed to such things all the time?

Although that business—

For Yu Linwei, it was somewhat insignificant.

But isn't doing homework for classmates also a form of development strategy?

"Sis, I'm just earning some pocket money. I'm just a middleman. I copy the homework of students with good grades and pay them 20 cents per subject. Then, when they copy mine, they get 50 cents for all subjects."

"It might sound like I'm not getting a good deal, but that's not true. Lots of people copy my work, and even students from the next class copy my assignments. I'm telling you, making a few dollars a day is no problem at all."

Lin Wei found it very interesting.

But Lin Xiaomeng, standing to the side, had a stern face and said, "I haven't finished explaining yet. There's more."

"Anything else?" Lin Wei asked hurriedly, "Anything else?"

“Many students from rural areas come to our school to study. They have nowhere to eat at noon. Although eating outside is cheaper, it is not very healthy. So I talked to Aunt Liu about a partnership. Her shop is just across the street from the school. I asked her to set up a small dining table. Every day, I would bring people to her shop to eat, and I would take 10 cents per person. I can make a small profit.”

Lin Wei was quite surprised, "Aunt Liu is doing such a small business with you?"

Lin Xiaomeng raised her voice, "Of course we'll do it! This kid is very popular, and with the Su brothers by his side, he can gather a large group of people every noon. They have a balanced meal of meat and vegetables, and if it's not enough, they can order more. The money is split 50/50 with the Su brothers. These three kids have saved quite a bit of money."
