Jiang Xun was startled. He raised his hand to cover his chest and said, "Mom, can't you learn to knock on the door before you come in?"

"Knock your head!" Zhao Xingmei said angrily, "I asked you to persuade your brother, but how did you do it? How can you persuade others like that? I asked you to persuade him to be more open-minded, not to persuade him to divorce."

"According to his condition, it's better for him to get divorced."

"You... you really pissed me off. You said nothing good about your brother's marriage! How come you brought up the issue of not having children? Jiang Xi can't have children, not that he won't have any! Aren't you just poking at his heart by saying that?"

"Then you still don't want it. If you wanted it, you would have gone to the hospital for a physical check-up a long time ago. You have money to eat and drink, but you never go to the hospital for treatment. It shows that the problem is not in your body, but somewhere else!" Jiang Xun said lightly.

"You...why do you say that? Have you considered your brother's feelings?"

Jiang Xun said, "Mom, it's not that Ye Li and I don't want to have children, but we can't do it under the current conditions. When you said this to me, did you consider my feelings? Ye Li and I can't have children, but Jiang Xi and Hu Jingjing can't. As for the deeper reasons, I think you should ask Jiang Xi and he will know it best."

Zhao Xingmei finally understood: "So you are waiting for me here? Okay, okay, I won't rush you."

Jiang Xun said seriously: "Mom, everyone has their own life and destiny. You have seen the life of Jiang Xi and Hu Jingjing together. If the two of them can't be together, you don't need to force them to get together."

...

...

"Okay, okay, I heard you."

"Mom, think about it carefully and see if what I said makes sense."

"Alright, alright, I heard it with both ears!"

Jiang Xun: "Okay."

Zhao Xingmei walked out angrily, then turned around and stopped again: "Jiang Xun, if I hadn't insisted on you getting married and living a good life, would you have been able to marry a good girl like Ye Li? Tell me about fate now..."

Jiang Xun said calmly: "Ye Li and Hu Jingjing are different."

"Yes, yes, your Ye Li is the best! Your wife is the best in the world, okay?"

"Mom, you see this point very clearly. A woman who can marry me without asking for a penny and who can work diligently and live a good life after marriage is really hard to find even with a lantern."

Zhao Xingmei: “…”

I surrender to you!

For dinner, Jiang Xun did not go to Zhao Xingmei's room to eat, but ate in his own room.

Zhao Xingmei brought the food over, and he ate a steamed bun while flipping through a book.

When Zhao Xingmei came to collect the bowl, Jiang Xun's eyes were always on the book.

Zhao Xingmei felt somewhat relieved because of this. She had to say that this boss Jiang Xun was really different from others.

Jiang Xun has been immersed in books, and when he is tired he closes his eyes and takes a rest.

He studied until after ten o'clock in the evening. He had been sitting for too long and his waist began to feel stiff and painful. Then he heard the sound of the door opening.

He looked up towards the door and saw Ye Li coming back with obvious fatigue on his face.

“I’m back.”

"Yeah." Ye Li entered the room, took off her messenger bag, and went to wash her hands in front of the basin stand. "Sorry, I came back too late! You've been sitting for too long. Are you tired?"

"Not bad." Jiang Xun turned his wheelchair and handed the enamel pot that was drying on the desk to Ye Li. "It's very hot outside, right? Have a drink to cool off."

"What's this?"

"Mung bean soup. Mom made it. I asked her to leave a bowl for you."

Ye Li took it, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, letting out a satisfied sigh: "It's still sweet!"

"I added two pieces of rock sugar."

"Thank you Jiang Xun, you know me so well!" Ye Li said with a smile.

"We're family, why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Xun saw her turn around to pick up her bag from the wall, and he knew she was going to share good news with him, "How was the harvest today?"

"Not bad." Ye Li took Jiang Xun's hand and came to the bedside, put the money in the bed, and took out a notebook from the drawer, "Look, there will be money for today's shipment. This second aunt is also a talent. She actually started pre-sales. Pre-sales, do you understand what it is?"

"Book in advance?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. So, I can get the money if I ship the goods." Ye Li handed the stack of money to Jiang Xun, "Here, count it."

Jiang Xun took the money and counted it: "Two hundred and thirty-eight. That's a lot!"

"Yes!" Ye Li carefully tied up the stack of money with a rubber band, put it in a biscuit box, and wrote down the account in his notebook. "Jiang Xun, the money is increasing. We are one step closer to our goal."

"Well, all this is thanks to Li Li." Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"This is our joint income!" Ye Li took his hand, "I guess you can have the surgery in winter! Are you happy?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xun smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy!"

"Let us continue to work together."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"I'll go get some water and help you wash your feet." Ye Li put away the money and accounts, opened the door, picked up the basin and went out.

When I got to the yard, I ran into Wang Sha, who had just come out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of bone soup.

"Oh, what a good day." Ye Li joked with a smile.

Wang Sha chuckled twice: "Sister-in-law, Jiang Rui is very greedy! You know, these ribs are so expensive, how can I afford to buy them! I only bought a few pieces, just to fill the gaps between my teeth, so... I can't let you have a taste."

Ye Li didn't care: "Look, I just said that, don't take it to heart."

"Sister-in-law, are you going to Liu Guihua's house this weekend? It's only two days away!"

Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Go, go on the weekend!"

"Okay, I'll tell her tomorrow!"

"good."

Wang Sha carried the pot of ribs into the house and said to Jiang Rui, "Come on, eat! I just ran into my sister-in-law. Don't mention how embarrassing it is!"

"It's quite embarrassing. How about you send a small bowl over? There are a few pieces of these two pounds of ribs!"

"A pound of spareribs costs 78 cents, and you need a meat ticket! It's too expensive! I can't bear to spend it!"

"Send a bowl of pork rib soup over."

"I can't bear to give up the pork rib soup. Later, this soup can be used to make bone soup noodles, which is very delicious."

"Okay." Seeing that his wife finished so quickly, Jiang Rui didn't say anything.

To be honest, he was quite reluctant to give it to her.

The meat is so delicious, but I can only eat it twice a month. I have to cherish it...

Ye Li filled a basin with cold water, and then went to the kitchen to find hot water.

There is always a pot of water on the stove in the kitchen, which can be warmed by the residual heat from the stove after cooking.

Ye Li poured some hot water into the basin, turned off the kitchen lights, and returned to his room.

After a while, she poured out a basin of water for washing feet. A few voices were heard in the room, and then it returned to silence.

The lights in the house went out.

The lights in the compound went out one after another, and the surroundings fell into silence.

In the darkness, a shadow sneaked towards the Jiang family's kitchen. Soon, there was a click and the door opened.

The dark figure flashed into the kitchen and then closed the kitchen door.
