He was just waiting for the fourth son to leave the family so he could successfully provide for Old Man Li and Old Woman Li in their old age, and all the belongings would eventually end up in his hands. Who knew that the eldest son's change would catch him completely off guard?
That's so unfair! Old Man Li and Old Lady Li are being biased.
In this situation, Li Lao Er couldn't guarantee that he would be the final winner. It would be better to tear off the disguise and, as Li Lao Tou wished, let him see for himself who was the most valuable in the family.
Li Yiyi stared in surprise, her mouth agape. It seemed like Li Lao Er was the final, big boss.
"Dad, did you see that? Li Lao Er's honesty and simplicity were all an act. No wonder he ended up doing quite well."
[How brilliant! I bet even Old Man Li didn't expect this.]
Look, Li Laosi's eyes are practically green with envy! The legendary heartthrob isn't all that great after all!
With such poor mental fortitude, how did he reach such a high position in the book? Was it just his physical strength?
Following their daughter's words, Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting sized up Li Laosi.
His skin was indeed quite good; perhaps because he hadn't worked before, his skin was delicate and smooth, with a touch of scholarly air. His occasional smile was truly captivating.
Using the skin and flesh is feasible.
The strange look in his eyes made Li Laosi extremely uncomfortable, as if his clothes had been stripped off.
What's going on with the two adults and the child? Why aren't they looking at Li Lao Er and the others, and instead they're staring at him?
"Second brother, you..."
Old Man Li was indeed taken aback; he hadn't expected that Li Lao Er's honesty was just an act.
"Dad, I'll say it again: either we split up the family or don't even think about buying me a job. I don't want to use the money I've worked so hard to earn to please others. Third brother, you think so too, right?"
Surprised by Li Lao Er's dramatic transformation, Li Lao San wouldn't forget the crucial matter.
“Dad, Second Brother is right. Fourth Brother has never earned a penny since he was a child. He eats what we earn. How can he have the nerve to take our money to buy a job?”
“I ate all the work points I earned, but I have to say, it’s shameless to eat for free and still covet the family’s money.”
Boss Li joined in too; how could he miss out on such a lively event?
[Dad, you're so funny! Aren't you making things more exciting enough?]
[Not bad, not bad. Li Laosan has fallen out with Li Laotou and Li Laotai, and Li Laoer has followed suit. Next up should be Li Laosi!]
I don't know when I'll be able to see it.
Li Laoda really wanted to tell Li Yiyi that it would be soon, but the job-buying matter had been disrupted. Even if there was an accounting position, Li Laosi wouldn't be satisfied seeing him and Li Laosan with jobs.
He would do everything he could to climb the social ladder, but Old Man Li and Old Woman Li wouldn't accept it, and that's when they would have a falling out.
"Dad, give me a straight answer. Do you choose the fourth son or me and the third son? If you choose the fourth son, we'll split up the family. The sons who are supposed to be filial to you will be filial to you, and that's all. If you choose me and the third son, don't bring up the job-buying thing again. The third son and the eldest brother can find jobs without spending a penny, so why can't the fourth son? Is it because he's not capable?"
While forcing them, Li Lao Er slashed at Li Lao Tou and Li Lao Si's hearts with his knife.
Are you incapable?
Old Man Li couldn't accept that his son, whom he had personally raised, was not only inferior to Li the eldest, but also to Li the third and second sons.
Li Laoda was raised by his parents, so he's not as good as normal people, and he can't compare to his parents either. Li Laosi absolutely cannot be worse than Li Laoer and Li Laosan.
Provoked, or perhaps out of spite, Old Man Li quickly made his decision.
"I won't bring up the job issue again; the fourth brother wants to find one himself."
Li Lao Er was satisfied, Li Lao San was satisfied, and Li Yi Yi was also satisfied, but Li Lao Si, one of the parties involved, was not satisfied.
Still retaining some semblance of reason, Li Laosi knew he couldn't afford to cause a scene.
He did harbor resentment towards Old Man Li. If he couldn't afford it, why did he give birth to him? If he couldn't raise him, he shouldn't have. It was bad enough that he was ridiculed at school, but at home he had to be inferior to Li Lao Er and Li Lao San.
He lost the job he was promised, despite all the promises made to him. Even though Li Lao Er and Li Lao San pressured him, he still gave up on him.
"Dad, look! Li Laosi has come to hate Li Laotou and Li Laotai!"
If Old Man Li and Old Woman Li knew that their pampered youngest son hated them, they wouldn't know how heartbroken they would be!
[It's good that things have come to a head. Without the cover of brotherhood, it won't be so easy for Li Fuyi to rise again.]
[Once her cultivation reaches a certain level, she'll eliminate the dark shadow inside Li Fuyi's head.]
Li Yiyi never hid her vengeful nature. She believed in holding grudges accountable. If Li Fuyi didn't provoke her, she could let things develop as they were; but if Li Fuyi wanted her dead, she would never swallow that insult.
If the shadowy figure is going to kill, Li Fuyi won't have an easy time either.
"Boss, you have a job now, and your salary is the same as the third brother's."
The conversation then turned to Li the eldest. Old Man Li disliked Li the eldest and resented him for revealing the plan to buy a job. Otherwise, once the matter was settled, Li the second and third brothers wouldn't have had a chance to object.
"Father, I'm afraid that won't work."
Having come prepared, Boss Li lazily pulled out the hospital's diagnosis and affectionately stroked Li Yiyi's little face.
"Dad, I have to pay for my daughter's medicine with my salary. I'm willing but unable to hand it over."
"Father, it's all because my body is weak."
Following what she had seen before, Li Yi nestled in Li Laoda's arms and said something with self-reproach.
Jiang Yuting: What did she see? When did her daughter learn to speak in such a pretentious way?
"Boss Li, are you trying to fool me?"
The medicine cost twenty-three yuan and fifty cents. Old Li couldn't believe it. He'd just been working one second, and the prescription was already out the next. He reasonably suspected that Old Li's eldest brother had done it on purpose.
