"Dad, there is a total of 1,573.2 yuan."
Li Yi counted all the money, more than he could hold in both hands.
"Honey, what do you think about buying a house?"
After buying a house, my wife can live with them in the city and won't have to be lonely in the production team every day.
"Dad, you have to work hard to earn money!"
Li Yiyi agreed with buying a house. Having another place to live gives you more options. As the saying goes, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows; if a rabbit has three ways out, how can they not?
"OK."
As long as my daughter agrees, that's fine. Half of the family's money comes from the money she earns through her online space. Although it's something to be proud of that I'm so young and already relying on my daughter, things like buying a house still require her consent.
He thought that, given his daughter's greedy nature, it would take some time to persuade her, but to his surprise, she was indeed his daughter, quick-witted and agreed as soon as he asked.
Intuitively, Mr. Li felt that houses would definitely be the most valuable thing in the future.
After delivering the goods, Boss Li carried Li Yiyi home. For them, going to work was that simple and unpretentious.
I record some data in the morning, and then slack off to deliver the goods in the afternoon. I can go home without waiting for the end of the workday. Thanks to my daughter, my weekends have changed from a single day off to a two-day weekend.
When I got home that evening, before I even went back to my room, Old Mrs. Li called me to the main room.
Upon closer inspection, two more people were visible: Li Aihong and Sun Jiang, whom they had just met that morning. Looking around, they saw that Li Lao Er and Li Lao San, both with broken legs, had been brought out.
Their expressions were all serious, much like a legendary joint trial.
[Father, trembling with fear, felt the power of the Holy Mother.]
[Dad, could I have really been right? Li Aihong and Sun Jiang never come to visit without a reason.]
And this is definitely aimed at you.
He rolled his eyes at Li Yi, saying, "Even without my daughter saying it, I know it myself. Didn't you see how Li Aihong looked at him? Like a dog looking at a meat bun?"
"Boss is back. Sit down quickly. You must be tired after a long day at work."
They exchanged a knowing glance, and then, Li Laoda and Li Yiyi were horrified.
Yesterday he was glaring at them, but today he's all smiles and friendly, even showing concern for Old Man Li. Is this really Old Man Li? Has he been possessed? The quick-tongued Li Yi asked, voicing his doubts.
"Grandpa, have you been possessed by a ghost?"
The deliberately cultivated friendly demeanor crumbled under Li Yiyi's words, and the old man's pleasant expression vanished.
“Brother Li, look at your daughter. She’s so young and disrespectful to her elders. What kind of things is she saying? If word gets out, people will laugh at our Li family for being ill-mannered.”
In the past, if Old Man Li said anything negative about the eldest son's family, the second and third sons would definitely jump out and agree. Now, however, they are completely silent, which Old Man Li finds rather unusual.
“Dad, my daughter is still young and full of curiosity. She only asked a question, so why is she disrespectful to you? On the contrary, you are petty and won’t even answer your granddaughter’s question. You even threw mud at my daughter. If you don’t want to see us, you should have said so and we would have left immediately.”
Li Laoda was fearless; he said whatever came to mind. Old Man Li was worried they'd leave.
"Boss."
Old Man Li glared again, and Li Yiyi was already visually fatigued.
It's always the same. When they can't win an argument, they resort to calling me "boss," as if my dad said something offensive.
Can't we come up with something more original? For this short time, just sit down and relax!
[Shamelessness knows no bounds. We've already torn off all pretense of civility so many times; how can Old Man Li still put on airs as a father?]
Lowering her head, Li Yiyi felt she should be kinder to her eyes; she couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Call back my soul! I'm not dead yet. Wait until I'm dead before you call back my soul!"
“However, I am so much younger than you, so if anyone is to die, it will be you first. You have no chance to call back my soul.”
With a regretful expression, Old Man Li unleashed his verbal skills, making not only Old Man Li but also Old Woman Li so angry that their eyes rolled back in their heads.
"Brother, what are you saying? What are you doing...?"
“Li Laosi, what did I say that I need you to teach me? What did I say wrong? Isn’t Dad older than me? In the future, I will be the one mourning for him and calling back his soul. What’s wrong with that?”
Li Laosi, who had been rebuked, opened his mouth, but couldn't find a single word to refute it.
Indeed, what Boss Li said is all correct.
"Li Laosi, am I the eldest brother or are you the eldest brother? When did it become your turn to lecture me? As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. If you can't learn etiquette and respect, I don't mind teaching you in place of your father."
I'm so frustrated. I've already lost all sense of shame, but I still can't see reality clearly.
Li Lao Er and Li Lao San were secretly delighted, and when they saw Li Lao Tou and Li Lao Si being ridiculed, they could hardly hide their smiles.
Serves you right.
One was biased, and the other liked to put on airs like a scholar.
"Alright."
With a roar, Old Man Li glared at Old Man Li with displeasure.
The discriminatory treatment is quite obvious.
[If it weren't for his actions, why would I have questions? If I didn't question my father's words, why would he speak? The trouble caused by Old Man Li is now being blamed on my father.]
[Hehehe, my dad is so pitiful.]
Boss Li rolled his eyes silently again, but Li Yiyi didn't notice.
"Boss, I called you over because I have something to discuss with you, not to argue with you."
"oh!"
With a mere lift of his eyelids, Old Man Li casually uttered an "oh," leaving Old Man Li so angry he wanted to explode but couldn't find a reason to.
"Sun Jiang, you talk to the boss!"
He sat down stiffly with a loud thud; even Li Yiyi felt pain just watching him.
[A butt as hard as steel, a role model for us all!]
