Seeing that Lin Chen'an was speaking up for him, Li Mo fell silent.
To be fair, Lin Chen'an was quite good except for his unclear handling of the relationship between her and his mother.
Upon hearing Li Mo's words, Li Yan asked in surprise.
"How have they been good to you? How much money do they give you each month? How many houses and cars have they given you?"
Hearing his sister's words, Li Mo fell silent.
It seems like all they gave her was a marriage certificate...
Li Yan rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Sis, I wanted to ask you to help me find a job, but you ended up telling me about my in-laws' awful situation. Sigh..."
Hearing his sister sigh, Li Mo realized that after yet another unresolved argument, his sister had called him.
After answering the phone, she began to talk about her situation on her own.
Li Mo was shocked when he realized this about himself.
She had never done this before.
I don't know when it started, but every time I call home, I talk about what's going on at my in-laws' house...
Li Mo realized that her thoughts were being subtly influenced, a realization that terrified her.
Li Yan didn't hear her sister's reply and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Sis! Are you even listening to me? Why are you just like Chen Jiayi? Whenever I ask you to help me arrange a job, you either stay silent or refuse?"
Upon hearing his sister mention Chen Jiayi's name, Li Mo was initially shocked, but then realized that it might be the same person.
She slowly asked, "Which Chen Jiayi are you referring to?"
Li Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Who else could it be? The daughter of the neighbor in Chenjia Village that my eldest sister married into."
Upon hearing Li Yan's words, Li Mo frowned.
No wonder she felt the other person looked familiar today; it turned out to be Chen Jiayi from Chenjia Village.
The two people had changed so much that Li Mo didn't recognize them at first.
Li Yan couldn't help but say again, "Sister, why don't you try to be nice to your mother-in-law, or ask your brother-in-law to help me out!"
Li Mo didn't answer Li Yan for a long time. Li Yan knew her sister's personality well; no answer meant rejection.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly, feeling annoyed.
"Since none of you will help me, I'll figure it out myself!"
When Li Mo heard the dial tone, he knew that Li Yan had hung up the phone.
She sighed helplessly.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help her sister, but given her current situation and awkward position in the Lin family, she couldn't even handle the conflicts between her and her mother-in-law, let alone help her sister find a job.

Chen Jiayi came to pick up Xu Cuihua from get off work today. Seeing Xu Cuihua's rosy face, Chen Jiayi gave her a gentle smile.
"sister."
Since Xu Cuihua decided not to stay by her older brother's side anymore, Chen Jiayi changed how she addressed Xu Cuihua.
Xu Cuihua dusted herself off and stood about a meter away from Chen Jiayi.
"Jiayi, what brings you here?"
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it, so I came to check on you."
Xu Cuihua's hands were covered in dust, and she didn't know where to put them for a moment.
"Jiayi, this job is pretty good."
It's so much better than doing farm work in Lianhua Town!
Farm work often requires bending over and squatting, and Xu Cuihua has a bad back; her back aches for a long time every night after finishing work.
This job is a bit tiring, but it's also quite easy.
I work eight hours a day, only starting when I need to restock, and resting the rest of the time.
Chen Jiayi and Xu Cuihua chatted all the way about how her work went that day.
After learning about Xu Cuihua's job, Chen Jiayi nodded, agreeing that it was indeed quite good.
When they arrived at Xu Cuihua's dormitory, Xu Cuihua stood there shyly.
"Jiayi, my dorm is pretty basic, so maybe you shouldn't come up with me?"
Chen Jiayi raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Cuihua with surprise.
"Sister, I used to be an ordinary person too. My identity has changed, but I'm still an ordinary person. It's too formal for you to say things like that to me!"
Xu Cuihua smiled shyly, "Then come forward with me."
Xu Cuihua stayed in the dormitory for two days. On the first day, she did not work but signed a contract and moved into the dormitory.
On her first day moving in, she met a coworker, and the two got along quite well.
Xu Cuihua spoke to Chen Jiayi intermittently, and Chen Jiayi's mind went blank for a moment.
She recalled Xu Cuihua's fate in her previous life, and compared it with the present. She was certain that Xu Cuihua would live a happy life in this life.
After learning that Xu Cuihua was doing well, Chen Jiayi left.
Xu Cuihua originally wanted to take Chen Jiayi to the cafeteria for a meal, but the food there was rather ordinary, and Xu Cuihua was worried that Chen Jiayi wouldn't be used to it.
She thought about it for a moment, and finally said it.
"I'll treat you to dinner when I get my salary."
Chen Jiayi nodded. "Okay."
She waved, "Bye-bye~"
Xu Cuihua's face was beaming with a smile until Chen Jiayi left her sight, at which point the smile faded and was replaced by worry.
She always had a feeling that something was not real...
It's as if all of this is a dream.
When Chen Jiayi returned to the Chen family home, she was pleasantly surprised to see her father, who was away on a business trip, at home.
"Dad? When did you get back? You didn't even tell us beforehand?"
Chen Qiming has been busy with projects lately and hasn't had time to go home.
Chen Qiming took out a bouquet of flowers. "Ta-da! Look what this is!"
Chen Jiayi looked at her father in surprise, "Dad, why are you suddenly sending me flowers?"
Chen Qiming immediately lowered his voice and whispered, "This isn't for you! It's for your mother. Wasn't yesterday Mother's Day? You spent it with your mother, but I didn't."
Before Chen Jiayi was found, Lan Meixuan never celebrated Mother's Day.
Now that the child has been found, the first hurdle was that he wasn't there for Mother's Day.
Chen Jiayi immediately understood. She glanced at her father speechlessly, then pointed upstairs.
"Mom should be upstairs, probably on the top floor right now."
The Chen family's rooftop is planted with many varieties of flowers. When Lan Meixuan has free time, she tends to the flowers, reads books, and cultivates her mind.
Chen Qiming smiled and said, "Jiayi, Dad has prepared a gift for you in the car. Go and get it in a bit."
Chen Jiayi nodded. "Dad, why did you bring me a gift when you came home? Are you going out again in just a couple of days?"
When Chen Jiayi saw Chen Qiming's ashamed expression, she understood.
Chen Qiming only came back to see her and her mother briefly before heading off on another business trip.
So the richest man in China is this busy?
Chen Jiayi sighed, "Alright, Mom's been in a bad mood these past few days, so watch your words later."
Chen Qiming sighed, "I'm the head of the family, how dare your mother give me attitude?"
Chen Jiayi shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
Just wait, Chen Qiming will be limping downstairs in a bit.
Chen Qiming carried the flowers upstairs. He carefully pushed open the door, and Lan Meixuan was focused on watering her flowers, completely unaware that someone had appeared behind her.
Chen Qiming smiled and called out to Lan Meixuan in what he thought was a very gentle voice.
"Wife~"
