Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting slowly carried Li Yiyi towards the door. Upon seeing this, Yang Guowei released Li Fuyi's hand and ran after them.
Why won't you adopt me?
Blocking Li Yiyi and the others' way, Yang Guowei raised his little face and said with dissatisfaction,
[Oh my, what a nerve! You think you can get my dad to adopt you, you ingrate? Who do you think you are?]
"Dad, hurry up and don't pay any attention to this guy; he's bad luck."
Although it was just a storybook, Li Yiyi truly became Li Yiyi, finding Yang Guowei utterly displeasing.
"Why should I adopt you? Tell me, what are the benefits of adopting you?"
He held down his daughter's struggling little body, a strange anger flickering across his usually expressionless face. Old Li was worried he'd upset his daughter.
"Daughter, don't be angry. Your father and mother will not adopt him. We are busy enough with you, our little darling. Where would we find the energy to adopt someone else?"
His daughter is practically his ancestor.
She loved gold while she was in the womb, and now she loves money. She's also incredibly spoiled, only eating refined grains and white flour; they worry that even a little bit of coarse grain will choke her.
He looked so thin and weak, like a kitten. No wonder people spread rumors that his daughter was hard to raise.
That's more like it.
Hearing the sound, and recalling Li Yiyi's proud little face,
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting couldn't help but like their daughter; how could there be such an adorable child in the world?
If you adopt him, you'll have money!
Yang Guowei didn't understand why Li Lao Er and Li Lao San were vying to adopt him just for money, so why didn't Li Lao Da want him?
"Little brother, your parents want us to come inside."
Li Fuyi came over and pulled Yang Guowei away, clearly displeased that Yang Guowei had come out to find Boss Li and Jiang Yuting.
After being slapped a few times, she dared not approach Boss Li and his gang.
Once she's stronger, she can slowly make a wish for them to leave Li Yiyi behind.
How did she become so powerful? Li Fuyi looked at the light behind Yang Guowei, a predatory glint appearing in her innocent eyes.
Yang Guowei thus settled into the Li family's home, causing quite a few laughable incidents.
On the first night, Yang Guowei asked for his own room, not wanting to sleep with Fuqiang and the other three. Neither Li Laoda nor Li Laotai would agree to that.
Give Yang Guowei a separate room? No, they only have one room left in their house.
The eldest brother wanted to reserve a room for Li Yiyi. His daughter kept talking about cultivating, so she definitely needed her own space to do what she wanted. The room was conveniently located next to his and Jiang Yuting's room, far from the main room and Old Lady Li's room, so he wasn't worried about anything happening.
Old Mrs. Li was thinking of leaving the house to Li Fuyi, or for Li Laosi to use when he got married. What good would it do to give money to Yang Guowei, the adopted child? Who knows how many years he would have to raise him?
As expected, he was rejected. Li Laosan and Wang Yiting basically ignored Yang Guowei because Li Laotou didn't offer enough money; Yang Guowei's father had given Li Laotou five hundred yuan.
Old Man Li was only willing to give them two hundred yuan, and he kept fifty yuan for himself, because the money Li Fuyi had to pay for stabbing Li Yiyi with scissors was compensation he wanted them to pay themselves.
Without sufficient funds, there was naturally little concern. Of the entire family, only Li Fuyi was willing to engage with Yang Guowei; the other four—Fuqiang, Minzhu, and others—were completely unwilling.
Because of Li Fuyi, Yang Guowei was tricked by Li Jiamin and the Li family head several times. Over time, Yang Guowei became increasingly indifferent and spoke less and less. When Li Fuyi tried to speak to him, he would keep his distance.
Every time Jiang Yuting took Li Yiyi to the yard to sunbathe, she would laugh when she saw Yang Guowei keeping his distance from Li Fuyi.
Hey little heroine, your male supporting character is ignoring you.
Before they knew it, the year was drawing to a close, and the weather was gradually turning cold. Li Yiyi was finally able to stand up, albeit shakily, and cross her legs to cultivate.
Living with Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting, Li Yiyi dared not make any big moves, fearing that the two of them would wake up at night and find her meditating cross-legged in the middle of the night.
Li Yi was extremely worried.
Sigh~
Li Yi sighed again, thinking about cultivation. The little girl sat on the bed, her hands supporting her chin, her bright eyes drooping, and her little mouth pouting, looking extremely worried.
Jiang Yuting found it amusing, lowered her head, and continued her needlework. She and Li Laoda both knew what Li Yiyi was up to; they were secretly planning a surprise for their daughter.
Let the worry linger!
Ever since Li Yiyi was born and gained a reputation for being sickly, Li Laoda only worked half a day, spending the other half of the day supposedly to buy medicine and find someone to see a doctor for Li Yiyi.
Without delaying his work, Li Laoda could earn nine or ten work points in a morning, and the people in the production team turned a blind eye to his behavior.
They had seen Li Yiyi's little girl; she was almost a year old and still couldn't cry. She was always listless, nestled in Jiang Yuting's arms like a little kitten. She was so tiny, it was heartbreaking to see.
Old Master Li said he was going to find someone to take a look, and no one doubted him. Old Mrs. Li and the others believed him without a doubt, and every time someone asked, they acted as if Li Yiyi wouldn't live much longer.
With her daughter as an excuse, Jiang Yuting didn't need to go to work. Boss Li ran around the black market in the back mountains every day and made a lot of money, which greatly increased his savings.
The house was unusually quiet; everyone was waiting to see when Li Yiyi would die.
As for Li Yiyi, her face remained expressionless, but she was incredibly lively inside, just like right now.
[Daddy, Mommy, I'm your most adorable baby!]
I want to cultivate, I want to cultivate, how do I cultivate?
As she pondered her troubles, Li Yiyi began to sing in her heart. Jiang Yuting, who was already used to hearing it, couldn't help but put down her needlework.
She got up, hugged her daughter, and interrupted her attempt to continue singing.
Looking at her daughter's adorable little face, Jiang Yuting gave it a squeeze. "No wonder she's my daughter, so pretty and with such smooth skin!"
[Mom, can't you have some boundaries? I'm a big kid now.]
[You're touching my face every day; what if it doesn't look good anymore? It'll get deformed.]
Jiang Yuting pretended not to hear. A big kid now? Yes, a big kid who still needs her to wipe his bottom after he poops.
He deftly took two cents from his pocket and handed it to Li Yiyi. Li Yiyi's eyes lit up instantly, and then the money vanished, disappearing into her spatial storage.
Since realizing the value of money, Li Yiyi successfully bent down for two cents.
[Mom, you are my own mother, I am your own daughter. You can pet me as much as you want. Without a mother as beautiful as you, how could I have grown into such a beautiful woman?]
"Mom, let's make a deal, could you have more next time?"
Holding a tiny baby in her arms, Jiang Yuting couldn't really see where the beauty lay, but if her daughter said so, then so be it!
She and Li Laoda were used to their daughter accepting money; once, they caught her accepting something with their own eyes, and there was no way they could deny it.
So she and Boss Li put on a show to completely put Li Yiyi, that little fool, at ease, and from then on, she stopped secretly accepting things from them.
