Chapter 117 What were you doing when you were 16?



"Why are you thinking about all this? You silly child, your father and I will take care of the family affairs, and if all else fails, there's still your brother.

This is not your concern.”

"But I don't want my brother to be looked down upon by them. Although my new sister-in-law's family is better than ours, my brother is the best brother.

Also, I don’t want my parents to feel inferior to me.”

After Lin Qing finished speaking, Zhao didn't know what to say.

He kept repeating: "Silly child, silly child..."

I could only sit aside and wipe away my tears.

After hearing the conversation between the mother and the daughter, Li Yu felt that he was living a worse life than a sixteen-year-old girl.

What were you doing when you were sixteen? I think you were still a high school student at that time, and your parents didn't care about you.

But with the help of the government, she can go to school without any worries. She studies in a clean and bright classroom, has free tuition, and receives a living allowance.

Apart from studying every day, I spend my free time complaining about everything, wondering why my parents don't want me and why others have parents but I don't.

Why does the boy I have a crush on like a girl who is inferior to me in every way?

That was her idea of ​​a sixteen-year-old girl's life.

At this moment, she felt very clearly the helplessness of women in this era.

How you live your life depends entirely on how much support your family gives you.

This also leads to early puberty in girls.

It’s not that they are not smart, it’s that they have no place to learn and no one to teach them.

Lin Qing wanted to get a job, firstly to help her family, and secondly, she didn't want her future sister-in-law to look down on her.

After all, Lin Qiao's fiancée is a famous embroiderer, and her family is much better off than Lin Laosi's.

Li Yu waited until the mother and daughter had calmed down before speaking:

"I'm very welcome for Qingqing to come. Even Meimei would be happy if she knew. It all depends on whether you and Fourth Brother agree."

Lin Qing looked at her mother anxiously and called out "Mom!"

It sounds very pleading.

"You really don't like embroidery? Do you want to go to your second aunt?" Zhao Yue asked her.

"Yes, I want to go. Mom, please promise me."

"Then go ahead and learn well. Strive to become the best chef in your second aunt's shop. As for your father, I'll go talk to him."

Zhao Yue sighed and said to her.

"Thank you, mother. Don't worry."

Seeing that the mother and daughter's problem was solved, Li Yu asked Zhao Yue: "Now that Qingqing has joined, we are still short of four. Does your sister-in-law have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Yes, but this matter needs to be discussed with their parents. So, I will go to a few families to ask you tomorrow. But if I introduce the children from my mother's family, will my second sister-in-law agree?"

She asked Li Yu, this was also her selfish desire.

She wanted to make life better for her parents' family. Although her parents' family had a dim sum shop, the whole family depended on the dim sum shop for their livelihood.

Life is very tight.

Since Zhao Yue had already spoken, Li Yu would certainly not refuse. He was the one who asked others to find someone, so wouldn't it make any difference who they found?

But if that were the case, she was afraid that her other two sisters-in-law would feel uncomfortable.

So Li Yu said again: "When you mention it, I thought of two more people. What do you think of them?"

"Second sister-in-law, tell me."

"It's Xingxing from the eldest sister-in-law's family and Ruoruo from the third brother's family. Although both children are married, they belong to other families.

But if I go to work in town, my in-laws shouldn't object, right? I figured since I'm going to find someone, I might as well find someone from my own family."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he asked Zhao Yue, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

"Of course that's good. These two children are both hardworking and down-to-earth, and they are family members. But we still have to take a message back and ask what their in-laws think." Zhao Yue gave advice.

"Well, I'll ask A Jiang to go home tomorrow and ask his eldest aunt and third aunt."

Li Yu thought, let her convey the message, she welcomes you to come, but it doesn't matter if you can't come.

Seeing that the problem was resolved, Li Yu was about to go back.

"Then it's settled. Sister-in-law, please help me ask for hardworking and diligent candidates when you have time. We're still short of two. I'll treat you to a meal then. I'll be back first."

Zhao stood up to see her off, and said angrily:

"Look at what you said, sister-in-law, as if someone owes you a meal. But if you cook it yourself, maybe I will go."

"Look how greedy you are! I didn't know you were delicious?"

After Li Yu finished speaking, he saw Zhao's face turned red and he laughed again.

When they reached the door, Li Yu said to Lin Qing:

"Qingqing, when you have time, come find your sister Meimei and ask her to teach you. The sooner you learn, the sooner you can make money. Got it, Second Aunt, I'll be there tomorrow."

Li Yu nodded, told them to go in quickly, and left.
