Chapter 251 (Third Update) At this time, the system is w...
However, Li Dazhu firmly disagreed with his father's suggestion.
"If Deng Qingyuan finds out, wouldn't that be giving Li Baohua a chance to make fun of me? You're not allowed to go."
"What should we do then?" Mr. Li was at a loss.
Li Dazhu had no idea what to do, but he would rather go to jail than be ridiculed by Li Baohua.
Haven't he been ridiculed enough by Li Baohua in recent years?
"Go to jail, go to jail! What will happen to me and your mother? What will happen to your wife and children?"
Faced with his father's questioning, Li Dazhu shouted, "How should I know? Do whatever you want!"
"You, you..." Li's father was so angry with his son that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Everyone says that raising a child is for old age security, but what a scoundrel he raised.
Looking at his son's second wife, who either went crazy or cried whenever something happened, Mr. Li felt his vision go black.
Whether he wants to admit it or not, he already deeply regrets it.
If I had known Tang Mingmei was so capable, I shouldn't have treated her like that in the first place.
If they hadn't divorced, wouldn't the money she's earning now belong to their family?
Once we have money, we can just have our son secretly have another son outside the marriage.
But it's too late to say anything now.
I can't live like this anymore.
-
The Li family's life was unbearable.
Both the Tang and Fu families were thriving.
After returning to Shenzhen, Tang Mingmei landed a big deal on the first day of business after the New Year, earning back the legal fees she had spent in one go.
When she got home, she shared the good news with her parents.
Tang Jianguo and his wife were overjoyed to hear this.
Li Hong remarked, "Indeed, you have to be willing to spend money to make money."
When she heard about the exorbitant lawyer fees, she cursed them under her breath.
Being a lawyer is so lucrative! They received a thousand dollars without doing anything.
But it turns out that the daughter's clothing store was going to be a good source of income.
The world is still fair.
Seeing his wife's expression change so quickly, Tang Jianguo burst into laughter.
As life got better, my wife became more and more adorable.
Li Hong blushed, a rare occurrence, when her husband actually praised her for being cute.
"You, what nonsense are you spouting in front of the children?"
"To be honest, what else can I say?"
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you."
Shy Li Hong quickly hid in the kitchen, pretending to start making dinner.
Tang Xin, who was watching TV nearby, was very surprised to see her grandmother looking so shy for the first time.
Grandma can be shy sometimes.
When I talk to my cousin on the phone later, I must tell her to ask when they will be back.
School hasn't started yet, and my cousin's family hasn't come back. It's so boring.
She couldn't help but ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, when will Xiaoyu and the others be back?"
Tang Jianguo didn't know either, only that Madam Fu had another competition to judge, which would definitely be a few days later than Fu Yu's.
Tang Xin said admiringly, "Xiao Yu's great-grandmother is really amazing. Her grandmother is amazing too."
Hearing her daughter praise both elderly women, Tang Mingmei jokingly asked, "What about your aunt? Is your aunt amazing?"
Tang Xin thought for a moment and nodded: "I think my aunt is the most amazing."
"Why do you say that?" Tang Mingmei didn't expect this answer; she thought she would most likely hear something like "My aunt is also very capable."
Tang Xin told her mother, "Because the people around my aunt are all very outstanding."
Tang Mingmei seemed to understand, but not quite.
It wasn't until I heard my daughter say more bluntly, "The most amazing person is the one who can make everyone around them become excellent."
She felt that this interpretation was correct.
Being outstanding doesn't necessarily make everyone around you outstanding. But if someone is terrible, it will definitely drag everyone around them down with them.
My aunt is not only outstanding herself, but she also encourages the people around her to become more and more outstanding, so she says my aunt is the most amazing.
Tang Mingmei had no idea that her daughter was thinking this way.
She pressed on with curiosity, "But your aunt has never worked and hasn't achieved much in other areas, so why are you so sure she's outstanding?"
"My aunt is living the life she wants, how can that not be excellent? I think people work hard and study diligently just to live the life they want, right?"
My aunt is already living the life she wants, so why should we measure her by her career achievements?
And for some reason, Tang Xin believed that if her aunt wanted to pursue a career, she would definitely be very successful.
Tang Mingmei does not deny this, and tells her daughter that her cousin once briefly ran a clothing wholesale business.
This conversation with her daughter led Tang Mingmei to an unexpected discovery.
She never expected that her daughter, who was still young, would have such a clear understanding of things.
To be honest, she was somewhat shocked, but mostly delighted.
It turns out that some things really are innate.
Or perhaps it was because he frequently visited the Fu family and had more contact with his cousin that he was influenced by her?
Whatever the reason, she was happy to see it.
She was in her thirties and paid a heavy price to understand these lessons, but her daughter understood them at such a young age. She thought that her daughter would definitely live a life a thousand times better than hers.
As a mother, what could be more gratifying than seeing your child thrive?
-
Before we knew it, it was April.
Shenzhen has experienced continuous rainfall this month, especially this year.
For the past two weeks, it has rained almost every day.
That evening, Tang Mingli had just put the rice into the pot when she glanced at the weather outside and saw that the west was covered with dark clouds. She was very worried about whether her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and daughter could return before the rain started.
Fortunately, the rain seemed to be working in their favor, only starting to fall heavily when the three of them returned.
The sound of pattering rain made Old Madam Fu unable to resist coming to the balcony.
Looking at that thick, ink-like black cloud, I guessed the rain might last for an hour or two.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu hurriedly asked, "Then does Dad have to wait until the rain stops before he can come back?"
Madam Fu smiled and said, "It's already starting to rain, so it's best to wait until this rain stops before going back."
Driving in the rain makes me a little uneasy.
Fu Yu nodded and said seriously, "If Dad comes home very late, we can leave him some food."
The old men laughed at these words.
This child expresses his concern in such a genuine way.
However, they were wrong. While the rain was still pouring down, Fu Ci returned, carrying a large box.
Fu Cheng'an quickly stepped forward to help his son take the item and put it away, asking, "What is this?"
"computer."
"computer?!"
As soon as Fu Ci uttered those two words, Tang Mingli excitedly raised her head.
It's 1995 AD, and their family is going to have a computer?
She immediately got up and went to the entrance hall to check the cardboard box that Fu Ci had brought back. She could tell at a glance that it was just a computer case.
"What about the monitor?" Tang Mingli asked her husband.
Fu Ci smiled and said, "It's still in the car. It's raining, so it's inconvenient to take two items with me."
"That's true, monitors aren't light either."
At that time, monitors were still bulky and heavy.
However, even without seeing the complete version, Tang Mingli's enthusiasm for the console remained undiminished.
She opened the box and examined it carefully. Fortunately, although the cardboard box was a little wet from the rain, the inside was dry.
Is the computer system running Windows 94 this year?
Since the internet isn't widespread yet, can they get a wired internet connection?
Even if it's possible to transport them, the cost must be very high, right?
However, even if it's higher, it's definitely within Fu Ci's acceptable range, so there's no need to worry.
Tang Mingli asked her husband with a smile, "Why did you decide to buy a computer?"
Fu Ci honestly replied, "I think computers are bound to be the future trend, so I might as well buy one sooner and explore it slowly."
Tang Mingli nodded vigorously and gave her husband a thumbs up.
"Foresighted."
That was incredibly visionary; computers were indeed the inevitable trend.
She asked expectantly, "Will you install internet cable?"
"Yes," Fu Ci answered firmly, "but it might not be so soon. Currently, there are almost no people in our area who need internet access, so the telecom company might have to lay a separate line."
Tang Mingli understood.
But how long can it last?
I always thought it would be another ten or eight years before I could have internet access again, but I never expected it to happen so soon.
Life is becoming more and more colorful.
It was clear that his wife was very happy because of the computer. This made Fu Ci even more convinced that he had made the right purchase.
...
The rain stopped around 8 p.m.
Tang Mingli was somewhat tempted to go with her husband to retrieve the computer monitor that was still in the car.
Although she didn't have internet access yet, she really wanted to see a complete computer.
Fu Ci noticed during dinner that his wife kept glancing towards the balcony.
At first, he thought she was worried that the balcony would flood as the rain got heavier.
It wasn't until he heard her suggest bringing the computer monitor up that he suddenly realized what was going on.
It turned out she was keeping track of when the rain would stop so she could move the monitor back.
It's rare to see her so anxious.
Fu Ci liked it very much.
He loved every aspect of his wife.
"Then let's go and bring it up." Fu Ci smiled and stood up.
Tang Mingli also stood up quickly and reached the door even faster than Fu Ci.
Fu Ci stopped her, "I'll go. It just rained, and it's very humid outside."
"It's okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing that she really couldn't sit still, Fu Ci stopped trying to stop her.
The two went downstairs to where the car was parked.
After opening the trunk, under the dim light, Tang Mingli finally saw the computer monitor she had been thinking about all night.
She tried to move around and found that it was indeed quite heavy.
However, Fu Ci lifted it up with ease, without any effort whatsoever.
The difference in strength between men and women is still quite significant.
Moving the monitor upstairs, where to put it is another problem.
Tang Mingli considered that her mother-in-law was a storyteller and might be able to learn to type on a computer and switch to computer-based creation in the future, so she suggested that they put it in the living room.
Fu Ci didn't object; she immediately cleared a table to put the computer on.
The monitor and the computer have been taken out; the next step is to connect them with cables.
Fu Ci has never done this before and needs to read the instructions carefully before he can operate it.
This really worried Tang Mingli, and she was almost ready to take matters into her own hands.
"This connects to this, this connects to this."
These words were essentially meaningless, yet Fu Ci couldn't suppress the upturn of his lips as he pursed them.
