Li Yaqin's life was the best among the Li siblings. Li Yaqin herself was easygoing and sometimes spoke without thinking, but she was very generous and often helped her poorer siblings. She was kind to everyone.

They openly provide meat and grain, but secretly slip money into the pockets.

Her husband, Zuo Shengli, is also a cheerful and generous person. Knowing that his father-in-law's family is not well-off, he never restricts his wife from taking care of her family.

In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao faced numerous financial difficulties, and it was Li Yaqin and Zuo Shengli who lent him money or provided him with support at crucial moments, which allowed him to barely get through the crisis.

The mother-in-law followed her into the ward, holding Xiao Wangfang's hand.

When Wang Fang saw her second aunt like this, she quickly stepped forward and tugged at her clothes, "Second Aunt, this is my younger brother."

Li Yaqin laughed and picked up Wang Fang, tapping the little girl's nose and saying with a smile, "What, you can't even let your second aunt see your little brother?"

Wang Fang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said softly, "If it's just for looking, then that's fine."

"You heartless little thing, your second aunt has spoiled you for nothing," Li Yaqin said with a laugh, then turned to look at Wang Tianxiao and teased, "Brother-in-law, you're usually so stingy, how come you're willing to let my sister stay in the hospital this time? Aren't you worried about her and unable to sleep at night?"

Li Yaqin has a sharp tongue.

However, what she said was also true. In his previous life, because his family was poor, Wang Tianxiao was very frugal. He wished he could stretch every penny to spend. In the eyes of his relatives and friends, he became the epitome of stinginess.

Wang Tianxiao, of course, wouldn't hold it against her, and asked with a smile, "Where's Shengli? Didn't he come to the street with you?"

“He’s such a busy man, how could I possibly see him?” Li Yaqin turned to look at Li Yali, carefully examined her, and only felt relieved after confirming that her sister looked alright.

"You two, giving birth is such a big event, and you didn't even tell me. I got the dates wrong and thought it was still half a month away. If I hadn't run into my mother on the street, I would still be completely in the dark."

Li Yaqin pulled her sister's hand over and gently massaged the veins on the back of her hand while grumbling incessantly.

“I’m just worried you’ll be too busy,” Li Yali said softly. “Besides, having a baby isn’t a big deal. If you want to see your nephew, you can see him after he’s born.”

"Then I can take care of you. You can call Mom, but you don't even call me. Do you have a problem with your sister?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull your ear."

Li Yali pretended to pull Li Yaqin's ear, but Li Yaqin quickly turned her head away, laughing and no longer continuing the topic, and began to shift her focus to Wang Tianxiao.

"Brother-in-law, I heard from Mother that you've been transferred back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

“That’s great. I told my sister a long time ago that you can’t make a living in those mountains. You won’t earn much money, and you’ll be away from home all year round. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll leave my sister at home and run off with someone else?”

"Li Yaqin, stop talking nonsense!" Li Yali wanted nothing more than to tear her out of her mind.

"Haha, don't hit me! If you two gang up on me, I'm no match for you!" Li Yaqin jumped away dramatically and hid behind her mother. "Mom, look at those two, ganging up on your daughter. Aren't you going to do anything about it? I'm being bullied to death!"

"You little rascal!" Qin Xiaoling was in a good mood as she watched the children playing and fighting.

"I'm going to the restroom, you guys talk first."

Wang Tianxiao turned and walked out of the ward.

"Hey, I was just about to go too, where's the restroom, brother-in-law?"

"It's at the end of this corridor."

Wang Tianxiao slowed his pace slightly, allowing Li Yaqin to follow him out.

The two walked forward for a while, and Li Yaqin looked around and secretly stuffed something into Wang Tianxiao's pocket.

Wang Tianxiao was taken aback. He took it out and saw that it contained five ten-yuan bills.

"this……"

"You should put it away quickly," Li Yaqin said nervously. "Don't let my mother see it. She can't keep secrets. If my sister-in-law finds out, she'll start nagging again."

"But……"

"This is what I secretly saved up. My boss doesn't know. Take this and buy some good food for my sister. Don't let her health suffer. Look at you, my sister needs at least a chicken and some eggs when she gives birth. There's nothing here. It's so cold and desolate. It's making her feel so lonely."

Li Yaqin spoke very quickly, and Wang Tianxiao couldn't keep up at all, so he was overtaken and said so much.

After Li Yaqin finally stopped talking, he said, "Yaqin, thank you for your kindness, but we don't need the money right now..."

"Stop being stubborn. What money could you possibly have? With your meager monthly salary of just over thirty yuan, you couldn't even support a family of three before, and now you have another mouth to feed. How are you going to support them?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled bitterly, it seemed that his poverty was a deeply ingrained impression in Li Yaqin's mind.

That's understandable.

In their past life, their family had received a lot of help from Li Yaqin, whether willingly or unwillingly.

She always nags, but she still tries her best to help them, unlike many people who are all talk and no action, but when it comes to real trouble, they run away faster than anything else.

Of course, later on, when the family's life improved, the children in the family were always very good to Li Yaqin. They would give her money during holidays, visit her whenever she came home, and even introduced jobs to Li Yaqin's two children, etc.

"Yaqin, listen to me, I've been..."

"Hey, Wang Tianxiao, why are you so long-winded? This isn't for you, it's for my sister, understand? That's it, don't make any more trouble."

Li Yaqin glared at Wang Tianxiao, then turned and strode into the restroom.

Wang Tianxiao was left standing in the corridor, holding fifty yuan in his hand, lost in thought.

He never had a chance to explain his current situation clearly, and Li Yaqin probably thought he was just embarrassed and suffering for the sake of saving face.

She said she saved the money, but it wasn't that easy. In this day and age, men are the main figures in a family, and even if a family is wealthy, it's still under their control.

She had to save up this money little by little, and it took her a long time.

The corridor was cold in winter because there was no heating, but Wang Tianxiao felt a sense of warmth.

The human world is a training ground, and all kinds of people can be found there.

There were indifferent brothers in their family, as well as caring and close sisters like Li Yaqin and her wife.

Perhaps this is due to family traditions.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both extremely kind people, so their children, except for Li Guanlin, are all very good.

Even Li Guanlin, though a bit stingy and unwilling to spend money, is still willing to contribute his labor. For example, in his previous life, when Wang Tianxiao's family was building a house, his brother-in-law helped out for many days.

All I can say is that they are just ordinary people, and everyone has complexities.

Well, he remembered all those who were kind to him. No matter what, as long as he could help, even if it meant incurring huge losses, he would never let good people down.
