Chapter 177: Frustrated



"Are all the people here?" Old Lady Xu took a quick look and then said, "Okay, since you all want to go home, I can't stop you, so go home. But we have no money left, and we can't give you anything, there is only one thing you must give."

"Mom, what is it?" Liang Lanlan asked hurriedly.

She still had fantasies, hoping to get something valuable from the old lady.

"I." Old Lady Xu said, "Who will take care of me, an old lady, after you take over the family? You need to make this responsibility clear."

"Ah?" Liang Lanlan was stunned. "What's going on? Mom, can't you and Xiaotao live on your own?"

Old Mrs. Xu glanced over coldly. If she had a needle, she would really want to give Liang Lanlan two needles in the mouth: "What? You're dead, don't want your mother anymore?"

Liang Lanlan waved her hands hastily: "No, that's not what I meant. Mommy wants it, she wants it."

"Mom, how about this? From now on you will just eat at your son's house for a month." Li Heng suggested an idea.

"Okay. That's fine." Old Mrs. Xu agreed. "Besides that, each of you has to give me two dollars a month."

This one sentence completely silenced the whole family.

"What a jerk!" Liang Lanlan couldn't help but speak, "Mom, other people's parents give money to their children. But you are different. Not only do your parents not take money, they also take advantage of their children!"

"If you like, then you can marry me. If you don't like, forget it. Anyway, I don't want to marry you." Old Mrs. Xu said.

"I agree." Lin Xiaoxi was the first to speak up, "Then let's start with big brother."

Two dollars is nothing to her.

The key is to resolve the old lady's problem first and not let her delay her career of making money.

When Wang Beibei heard that they had to start with him first, he immediately became unhappy.

I have five mouths to feed at home, and now I have to support an old lady who only eats for free.

She poked Li Gang gently and gave him a wink.

Li Gang understood and said immediately: "My family is in a difficult situation. You all know that I divorced Jinfeng and he took away all the money in my family. Why don't we start with Xiaoqi!"

"Okay, I have no problem with that." Li Chuan agreed. "However, since we have all started a family, we can't just take care of Mom, right? Do we have to take care of our fifth and sixth brothers as well?"

His words were quickly responded to.

"Yes! Old Seven is right. I almost forgot about it."

"Yes, yes, yes! Then let Lao Wu and Lao Liu come to the meeting as well."

Old Mrs. Xu said nothing and let her sons do whatever they wanted.

"Xiao Tao, go call your fifth and sixth brothers over, let's sit down together and discuss this matter." Li Gang said.

"Brother, why don't you go?" Li Tao was unwilling to go.

These brothers are too naughty.

Fortunately, I can’t remember my fifth and sixth brothers. This kind of situation is the first one that comes to mind.

Instead of calling her, they asked her to go.

She doesn't want to.

"Just go when I tell you to go! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Li Gang got angry and scolded Li Tao harshly.

Li Tao is no longer the Li Tao of the past. She is not afraid of Li Gang at all: "Why don't you go? Why do you want me to go? I won't go! Whoever wants to go can go for this thankless job!"

Li Tao's tough attitude shocked everyone.

"He has learned bad things, really bad things. Whoever gets close to Ning Jia will be led astray by her." Li Gang said angrily.

"You can do it, go ahead! You let me go, don't tell me you are a coward and you don't dare to face my Sixth Sister-in-law, right?"

Li Gang was irritated by Li Taocheng, and he stood up: "Okay, I'll go!"

They were planning to make dumplings in the morning, and Ning Jia and An Ye were busy in the kitchen.

One kneads the dough, the other minces the stuffing.

Li Xu made An Ye unhappy because of the old lady's malice, and An Ye ignored him again. He was now shamelessly acting in the kitchen.

He sat by the stove chopping dry wood, waiting to help light the fire and cook.

Li Yao was rarely at home, so he would always stay by his wife's side while she worked.

Li Gang came over and went into the house to see if there was anyone. Then he came in when he heard someone talking in the kitchen.

“Oh, they’re all here.”

Several people looked at him but no one spoke.

Li Gang rubbed his hands and said, "Um... Lao Wu, Lao Liu, go to the front yard. Our mother is at her house and asked you to come with her."

Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.

"Wait." Ning Jia stopped him, "We have already finished the business. What does it have to do with me if it's your business this time? The old lady wanted to give everyone some money, and she felt guilty about us, so she left some for us?"

“No… no.”

"What is that?"

Li Gang looked at Ning Jia's eyes that were ready to find fault at any time, and felt a little nervous: "Is this the case... After the family is established, there will be no one to take care of the old lady? Now we are discussing the old lady's problem..."

"No! Whoever wants to care can care, we don't care!" Ning Jia shouted.

"Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this? We made it clear with the old lady and her family at the beginning. If she doesn't give us anything, we won't take care of her in her old age. She agreed! What? Is she going to go back on her word?" An Ye slapped the panel, causing the things on it to clink.

"Is there such a thing?"

"How could there not be any? There are even notes!" Ning Jia said angrily, "I think the old lady is a wolf. I saved her, but she wants to eat me in return! If we don't go, we won't go no matter who comes! Even if the king of heaven comes, we won't go! You can solve the love problem between you however you want."

Li Gang: “…”

Finally I know why Li Tao didn't come...

He left in disgrace and returned to the old lady's room to bring up the matter again. No one dared to speak.

Lin Xiaoxi was so angry that her teeth were itching!

hateful!

With Ning Jia around, life is just so uncomfortable!

She really couldn't stand it anymore!

The house was finally built, just as Old Lady Xu had said it would be.

Everyone was very happy and started preparing their own private plots, eager to get a piece of the pie from the greenhouse vegetables.

Everyone placed their hopes on Lin Xiaoxi, hoping that she could successfully bring wealth to her family.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi's mind was full of how to kick Ning Jia out of this house.

She thought about it and thought of someone. She opened the cabinet, took out ten dollars, put it in her pocket and went to find the person.

While every household was cooking in the evening, Lin Xiaoxi came to Wang Erlaizi's door.

She knocked on the door and waited for a while. Wang Erlaizi came out in slippers and bare-chested to open the door.

"Hey, what brought Teacher Lin here? Come on, come in and sit down for a while."

Lin Xiaoxi slipped into the crack of the door and said, "I won't sit down anymore. Let's talk here. Wang Erlaizi, I want to ask you for a favor!"
