What made her happiest were those property certificates, all for future commercial streets and university towns. She was truly struck it rich! Luckily, she acted early; houses are hard to buy now, and even renting them out isn't easy. Seeing so many people flocking to the city, everyone realized the value of real estate. Although the value of houses has always been high, it's even more evident now.

It's almost Liu's mother's birthday, and Liu Yun and Liu Jing already knew that today's birthday banquet would definitely not be so simple.

As expected, the two sisters came together today. Liu Aiguo and Xu Hongxing had dark faces, and Liu's mother and father didn't look too good either. It was unclear whether they were looking at the two sisters or at Liu Aiguo and his wife. Liu Aidang was behind them, constantly giving them meaningful glances and raising his eyebrows from time to time, looking like he was watching a show.

Upon seeing Liu Jing, Liu Yun, Yu Qian, and Xiao Zhihua, Liu's mother immediately wore a beaming expression.

Liu Aiguo immediately greeted them warmly, calling them "sister" and "brother-in-law." Li Hui was much more adept at social interaction than Liu Aiguo and his wife.

Seeing Xu Hongxing and Liu Aiguo's appearances, Liu Yun had only one thought: why is there such a big difference between the male and female leads?

Look at Cheng Ke, look at Xiao Hongmei, and look at Xu Hongxing. There's no comparison at all. If you're going to say it's because Xiao Hongmei has a job, then Cheng Ke doesn't have a job either, and she's from ancient times. Isn't she much better off than her?

Then look at Fu Yao. She hadn't looked into Xiao Hongmei's husband, but even Xiao Zhihua and Xu Aiguo couldn't compare to him. At least Xu Hongxing had a temporary job back then! Liu Jing, on the other hand, had nothing.

Xiao Zhihua's own mother wasn't satisfied with her daughter-in-law, so he took the initiative to find her a wife himself. In that respect, Xiao Zhihua is miles ahead of Liu Aiguo. That's what a real man should do!

To Liu Yun's surprise, Liu Aiguo and his wife didn't react until after they finished eating.

Xu Hongxing: "Big sister, little sister, don't you care about Mom and Dad? You didn't even discuss such a big thing as selling your job with the family."

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were indeed a little annoyed. They originally thought that the matter from that time had passed, but they didn't expect that their two daughters would still hold a grudge. How could a family hold a grudge overnight? Such a big matter was not discussed with the family at all. They only found out about it from other people. Both of their daughters sold their jobs to speculate. It was impossible for them not to be sad and angry.

Liu Jing never held back when dealing with Xu Hongxing. "There's no room for negotiation. My husband and my mother-in-law are very supportive!"

Xu Hongxing: "I'm talking about our parents."

Liu Jing: "Ah! Sister-in-law, after you got married, you didn't discuss things with Mom and Dad, but instead went back to your parents' house to discuss them? Oh! I'm sorry! I forgot. Look at my memory! They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and ten years have passed since I had these three children, and I still haven't recovered. I forgot that you actually did that. After all, we didn't even know you gave your temporary job to your brother! But I'm sorry! Sister-in-law, I wouldn't dare to follow your example. If Lao Xiao kicks me out, where will I go to complain?"

Xu Hongxing: "You..."

Liu Aiguo: "Your sister-in-law meant well, don't be ungrateful, third brother, don't you think so?"

"Ah!" Liu Yun hadn't expected to be caught up in this gossip herself. Where did Liu Aiguo's sense of superiority come from? Was he suddenly acting like the eldest son, the big brother?
