Chapter 175 Jumping into the Fire Pit

Ten years later.

Lin Rong complained to Lin Li: "Sister, your sister-in-law and Jin Duo are managing the hotel, so there is no place for me to use my talents... You say that it is not a good thing for a man like me to be idle every day. Before, I could go to the kitchen to help light the fire and wash the dishes, but now that I have become a big boss, your sister-in-law starts to complain that I don't wash the dishes cleanly..."

Lin Li blinked his eyes: "What should I do?"

"I still can't get used to living in a town. I still miss our countryside... I work in the countryside, climb the mountains every morning to watch the sunrise, and drive the sheep home to watch the sunset. I feel comfortable. Do you know that feeling?"

Su Xiangqiao and Liu Jinduo on the side burst into laughter. They both said that Lin Rong didn't even know how to enjoy his blessings.

In the town, there is running water, which can be turned on with a tap. In the village, you have to pour water into the well and shake it for a long time before the water can be drawn out. Shaking such a small bucket will make your arms ache. How can they be compared?

The two women of Lin Rongchong rolled their eyes, and then came to beg Lin Li to help him think of a solution.

Lin Li said, "Why don't you go back and open a pesticide and fertilizer factory? It can also solve the problem of surplus labor in our village. First, you can lead the whole village to prosperity, and then you can attract investment. I think our village is vast and rich in resources. In the future, with more people, it will attract developers and it can become a small city. Maybe in the future, we can even open a farm stay..."

Having made up her mind, she began to take action. After obtaining the consent of Lin Rong and his entire family, Lin Li began to use her personal connections to invest in building a factory.

In later generations, most people who wanted to open a factory had to rent a factory building, but in the 1990s, the land was very cheap and you could directly buy your own property rights and build it however you wanted.

Rural areas just need pesticides and fertilizers. This will allow villagers to work in factories and earn money, while also allowing them to get cheap and high-quality fertilizers first, thus achieving the best of both worlds.

But after the fertilizer plant was successfully established, Lin Li did not expect that when she went to contact the agricultural supply supermarket for business, she would actually meet Tan Weiwei.

Tan Weiwei's eyes have lost the liveliness they once had, and now she looks haggard and tired.

Hearing Lin Li chatting and laughing with the store manager while negotiating business, Tan Weiwei felt that the voice couldn't be more familiar, so she came over to take a look.

When their eyes met Lin Li's, they were both stunned.

Lin Li lamented in his heart the ruthlessness of time, which had turned a once beautiful and elegant woman like Tan Weiwei into an ordinary woman, and she already had white hair and wrinkles at such a young age.

Lin Li looked exactly the same as she did ten years ago. Time had not left any traces on her face. Instead, she looked even more radiant because of her more fashionable dress.

The sunshine and vitality make this thirty-year-old woman look like a twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old college student who just graduated.

Tan Wei smiled bitterly and asked Lin Li if he could come and have a chat with her.

Lin Li had no grudges, so he talked to the store manager and then asked for an afternoon off for Tan Weiwei.

After walking outside and finding a random restaurant, Lin Li said to Tan Weiwei: "Here, let's go in and try the food in this restaurant..."

Tan Weiwei was so scared that she shook her head: "No, this house is too expensive... I have two children to raise..."

Lin Li smiled and shook his head: "How can I let you pay for it?"

Tan Wei bit her lip slightly, tears about to flow out of her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head.

She used to be a proud princess, but now, she is just a mother of two children.

While eating, Lin Li asked about Tan Weiwei's recent situation.

Tan Weiwei has two children, a daughter who is eight years old and a son who is four years old.

Her uneducated husband, Sun Jianhui, a rich second-generation, is still lazy and likes to eat.

Fortunately, her father-in-law earned a lot of money, but Sun Jianhui was the eldest son and he had two brothers.

Six years ago, his second brother got married to a powerful wife who made the house full of smoky air every day.

Moreover, the second son's wife always suspected that the old man favored the eldest son, and they always quarreled over money.

The old man was so angry that he cut off a lot of the financial assistance given to the eldest and second sons, saying that he wanted them to learn to be self-reliant.

Sun Jianhui turned a blind eye to all the expenses at home, so the task of making money had to be done by Tan Weiwei.

Now Tan Weiwei works during the day and has to take care of the whole family when she returns home in the evening. She is very tired.

As a result, when she wanted to buy a washing machine, her mother-in-law actually accused her of being pretentious and wasting money, saying that the washing machine could not wash clothes cleanly. She instigated Sun Jianhui to glare at her and not let her buy it.

During the usual family gatherings, because there were too many people eating, she wanted Sun Jianhui to help with some housework. Her mother-in-law actually pretended to help Sun Jianhui with the housework, but she used a voice that Tan Weiwei could hear to provoke Sun Jianhui, saying something like: "Doing housework is a woman's job. Your mother-in-law is really ignorant. She actually let you, a grown man, do it! Don't let her do it. Do you think you can tire her to death?"

When Tan Weiwei talked about these with Lin Li, tears started to flow down her face.

Lin Li sighed: "With such a family, you actually gave birth to two children..."

Tan Wei sobbed slightly: "Grandpa wanted to hold a grandson, saying that it was a reward for having a grandson. How could I have imagined that the reward was not even enough to pay for the eldest son's tuition..."

Lin Li was also powerless to do anything about other people's family affairs.

I could only give Tan Weiwei two hundred yuan, telling her to take good care of herself and not to get sick from working herself.

"There's not even anyone around me who can talk..." Tan Wei was slightly moved and held Lin Li's hand, "When I hurt you like that, I thought you would laugh at me and hit me, but I didn't expect..."

She was crying so hard that she couldn't finish her words.

Lin Li sighed again.

She did hate Tan Weiwei, but her experience was what happened to women in disadvantaged groups in marriage in later generations, and it was really sympathetic.

If she divorces and finds a new partner, but is unwilling to give up custody of her children, it is difficult for a single woman to raise two children.

Although the child's grandparents are so heartless, they will still help from time to time for the sake of the child, and can also help Tan Weiwei solve some financial problems.

She is afraid that if she finds another one, she will be kicked out if she does not give birth to a child for him. But if she does give birth to a child, it will only increase the burden. If the man is still a scumbag like Sun Jianhui, then Tan Weiwei will be jumping into the fire pit.

So this question really has no answer.

Lin Li and Tan Weiwei were not good sisters, and neither of them had any intention of helping Tan Weiwei get rich.

Tan Weiwei asked Lin Li what kind of work he was doing now.

Lin Li shook his head and waved his hands: "I am still that jobless vagrant... Because my whole family has jobs and can earn money, so I have nothing to do and play every day. They don't even need me to take care of the children."
