Chapter 150 She wasn't afraid of them before, and now she's even less...
Sure enough, Li Dazhu was provoked and became so agitated that he almost jumped up and down.
"She has nothing to do with our family anymore, yet you're still so concerned about her. What are you up to?"
Li Baohua wasn't afraid to speak the truth: "Yes, yes, I just didn't have any good intentions."
These words were so honest that Li Dazhu didn't know how to continue.
Seeing that his elder brother was speechless, Li Baohua felt extremely relieved.
Ever since he cheated on her with two women, indirectly affecting her marriage, she has had no good feelings towards this older brother.
Now that you have the chance to stab him in the heart, why not hurry up and stab him twice?
Li Baohua talked a lot in one breath, about where the store was located, how big it was, and even exaggerated how many people went to buy from it.
Finally, he added, "With so many clothes, the cost of opening this store would be at least several hundred, if not a thousand."
Li's mother was initially listening with a belly full of anger, but when she heard that opening a clothing store required so much money, she couldn't help but gasp.
"so much?"
After saying so much, Li Baohua finally received a response, which naturally made him even more enthusiastic.
"This is just my guess; the real amount is probably much higher. Think about it, no matter how cheap a piece of clothing is, it still costs at least a few dollars. Such a large clothing store must have at least a hundred pieces. A single garment would cost several hundred dollars, plus other items, rent, and so on. It would cost at least a thousand or several hundred dollars to manage, and that doesn't even include the renovations..."
As he spoke, Li Baohua himself gasped.
She knew that renovations were expensive.
When she got married, Mr. Deng, because he valued her, specially renovated their house. Although it was just a simple renovation, it still cost several hundred yuan.
I saw Tang Mingmei's clothing store today, and it's quite exquisitely decorated. It probably cost more money than Teacher Deng renovated his house.
Good heavens, if it weren't for Tang Mingli's help, she would never believe that Tang Mingmei could come up with so much money.
She's so lucky to have such a rich cousin.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his older brother as if he were an idiot.
If the eldest brother had pretended to be kind to Tang Mingmei for a couple more years after marrying her, and had taken the initiative to ease the tension between the cousins, he might have been able to get help from the Fu family.
The Fu family is so rich; if they were willing to help out, they wouldn't be working at the meat processing plant slaughtering pigs now.
One wrong step leads to another, and now he's left with a broken family.
Li Dazhu didn't miss the look in his sister's eyes, and his already simmering anger flared up even more.
"Li Baohua, what kind of look is that?"
Even if Li Baohua was bold, she wouldn't dare call her an idiot in front of her older brother.
If you really say that, given my brother's temper, he might get so angry that he'll resort to violence.
She's pregnant; we can't take that risk.
However, while he didn't directly call him an idiot, his words weren't exactly kind either.
"I'm seeing if you regret the divorce."
"I regret it?" Li Dazhu sneered. Even if he truly regretted it, he would never admit it now, being ridiculed by his sister like this. "Li Baohua, do you think I would regret divorcing a woman who can't have any more children?"
"Who knows? Having a wife who can't have more children is better than having no wife at all."
"Li Baohua".
Li Dazhu was furious. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, looking like he was about to hit someone.
Fortunately, Li's mother still had some sense and stopped him in time: "No, your sister is pregnant."
"Speaking so harshly and meanly, does she still consider me her brother?"
Li's mother thought so too, but she also knew that her son was reckless when he got angry, and if he really hurt her daughter, she didn't know how he would retaliate.
Heavens above, what terrible things did she do to deserve having two such children?
Li's mother became increasingly saddened as she thought about it.
Li Baohua didn't dare risk her pregnancy. Anyway, she had already said what she needed to say and had seen how her family members were on the verge of a breakdown, so she left satisfied.
Unable to vent his anger on Li Baohua, Li Dazhu could only take it out on his parents.
He recounted how they had shown favoritism, sending him to the countryside in the first place. He blamed them for sabotaging his marriage, causing his relationship with Tang Mingmei to break down. Finally, he resented them even more for leading to his divorce, leaving him penniless.
Tears welled in Li's eyes as she was scolded, and she explained one thing at a time: "The reason I sent you to the countryside was because your sister was really too young. If something happened to her, a girl like her, her life would be ruined. As for your divorce from Tang Mingmei, wasn't it because she selfishly had her fallopian tubes removed and couldn't have children? Didn't you want a son?"
Li Dazhu certainly wanted to, but given his current state, it was a hopeless situation.
Li's mother continued crying, "And how come you have nothing left? Didn't your father give you his job at the meat processing plant?"
Li Dazhu gets even angrier when the topic of working at the meat processing plant comes up.
He'll probably only ever be a butcher for the rest of his life; there's absolutely no hope of him getting a promotion or a job transfer.
Moreover, whether he was overthinking it or not, the factory director had been targeting him ever since that talk, and he didn't know if it was the Tang family's doing.
Frustrated, Li Dazhu scratched his head, only to find a clump of hair had fallen out, giving him a fright.
Is he sick or something?
-
Meanwhile, not long after Li Baohua left, Tang Jianguo arrived late with Li Xin.
Tang Mingmei greeted the last guest, locked the door, and led everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Today is a great day for her clothing store opening, so it should be celebrated.
On the way to the restaurant, she told Tang Mingli beforehand, "Today I'm the host, so don't try to pay just because you have money."
Tang Mingli laughed and said, "How could that be? I would never rush to pay for something like that."
Tang Mingmei snorted softly, unable to discern whether Tang Mingli's words were true or false.
It's sad to say, but they've lived under the same roof since they were teenagers, yet they've never eaten out together.
Well, on this auspicious day, they're having their first meal out together, and she's treating, which is fitting for her role as the older sister.
Tang Mingli smiled as she watched Tang Mingmei walk with such confidence, and once again marveled at her transformation.
Money really does make people rich. Look at Tang Mingmei now, she can confidently treat people to dinner.
After lunch, Tang Mingli and Madam Fu planned to go back, and Tang Mingmei and the others also planned to return to the shop.
With rent to pay, every day you wake up means spending money, so you definitely have to work harder to earn more.
Before parting, Tang Mingli thought of something and had to remind Tang Mingmei.
“If Li Baohua knows where you have a shop, she will definitely tell her family.”
Although he had warned Li Dazhu through the meat processing plant director last time, he did not come to bother Tang Mingmei again.
But human nature is unpredictable. If they knew that Tang Mingmei was doing so well, it's not impossible that they might become so jealous that their minds become twisted and they would cause trouble again.
Tang Mingmei had also thought of this, and said to Tang Mingli, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of them."
She wasn't afraid of them before, and she's even less afraid now.
However, when she talks about the Li family and thinks about the suffering she endured there during the two years she was blind and mentally impaired, she still can't help but grit her teeth in anger.
