"There's no 'but'," the seventh brother interrupted him.
Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm going to check your homework. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because I'm your uncle; you'll still have to stand in the corner as punishment!
Li Zhonghao suddenly felt like the sky was about to fall.
I originally thought it was a good thing that my uncle became a homeroom teacher, but I never expected it to be such a huge disaster!
My uncle found out about my mistake at school before the teacher even complained.
Before my parents could even say anything, my homeroom teacher came knocking on my door while I was slacking off at home.
I can't live like this anymore!
Seeing Li Zhonghao's worried expression, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Seventh Brother, don't make things too difficult for him."
"Seventh Brother, are you moving out?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, somewhat surprised as she watched Li Chenkai pack his luggage. This boy had been living at home ever since he was assigned to teach at Dongyun Middle School.
"Sister-in-law, I'm just..." The seventh brother rarely showed a hint of shyness, "The school assigned us dorm rooms, and..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Is something going on? Tell me, which female teacher is it?"
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you...?" The seventh brother's face immediately turned red.
"You've been at school for almost a year, don't I know you well enough?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You never usually ask to move out. You must have met someone you like."
"She's a Chinese language teacher named Zhou Li," Lao Qi finally admitted. "She...she also lives in the school dormitory."
"Oh? Zhou Li?" Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Isn't she that quiet, bespectacled girl?"
"Yeah." The seventh student nodded. "She teaches eighth grade, and she's a really nice person. We proctored an exam together a while ago, and we got along really well..."
Just then, Li Zhonghao ran in from outside: "Mom, I heard that Uncle is moving to the school dormitory, is that true? That's great!"
"You brat, what kind of attitude is that?"
The seventh student put on a stern face, "Don't think that just because I've moved to the school dormitory, I can ignore you. Remember to come to my office for extra lessons after school tomorrow!"
"Huh?" Li Zhonghao immediately deflated. "Uncle, you're too cruel..."
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the bickering couple.
She knew that although the seventh brother always put on a stern face, he was genuinely concerned about his nephew's studies.
So, they moved to live at the school and even arranged extra classes for them.
Life went on peacefully like this. Before they knew it, the end of the year was approaching, and Lao Liu, Li Chenjun, called to say he was coming home for the New Year and that he had a surprise for the family.
On New Year's Eve, Li Chenjun really came back, and he brought back a beautiful girl with him.
"Brother and sister-in-law, this is my wife, Xiaoyun," Li Chenguang said with a wide grin. "We've already registered our marriage."
"What?" Ye Xiaoxiao was both surprised and delighted. "You, child, got married without even saying goodbye?"
Xiaoyun greeted him shyly, "Hello, elder brother and sister-in-law." Her voice had a strong southern accent, but it was very pleasant to hear.
"Come in, come in quickly." Li Chenyang hurriedly greeted them, "Sixth Brother, you're really something! Not only did you make money in the South, but you also found such a beautiful wife."
Li Chenjun, with his arm around Xiaoyun, said proudly, "I opened an electronics factory in Shenzhen, and business is pretty good. Xiaoyun is my accountant; she's beautiful and capable. I just..."
"Alright, stop being so vain." The seventh brother came downstairs and greeted his sister-in-law, "Hello, Sister-in-law Xiaoyun!"
Xiaoyun quickly replied, "This is your younger brother."
Li Zhonghao and Li Xinyue followed behind; Li Xinyue was already in elementary school.
However, the child didn't seem to remember this "Sixth Uncle." It was Li Zhonghao who pulled his sister over and made her call him "Sixth Uncle."
“Yueyue is so big now. Here, Uncle Liu has given you red envelopes.”
Li Chenjun gave each of the two children a large red envelope. They were quite thick; it seems he really made a lot of money.
"Hey, you're so young and beautiful, just call me by my name."
The seventh brother laughed and then turned to Li Chenjun, "Sixth brother, you're something else, not even telling me about something this big beforehand."
You didn't even tell your family when you set up your factory over there. You're really something.
"They've all become big bosses, and I'm still just a junior teacher." Old Seven chuckled.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Li Chenjun smiled and took out a bunch of red envelopes from his bag, "Here, these are New Year's gifts that Xiaoyun and I prepared for everyone."
Ye Xiaoxiao opened the envelopes and saw that each one contained a thousand yuan. "Sixth Brother, you've made a fortune..."
"Sister-in-law, this is all I should do," Li Chenjun said seriously.
"Thanks to you and my elder brother for taking care of the family all these years. Now that I've achieved some success outside, I should show my appreciation."
Xiaoyun added, "Yes, sister-in-law, this is all Chenjun's thoughtfulness. He often tells me that if you hadn't forced him to study back then, he wouldn't be where he is today."
Xiaoyun looked at her sister-in-law with great amazement. She had always heard Li Chenjun say that his sister-in-law was the best person to him.
He wouldn't be where he is today without his sister-in-law. Thinking that this sister-in-law should be close to forty years old, she looks so young.
She looks like a young woman in her early twenties.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty; back then, she had also been after those three million.
But it's alright, at least Lao Liu didn't swindle them like he did in the original story. Now that he's made money, he even knows to give them some.
It's good that he's successful. By the way, what did Xiaoyun's parents say?
"We've already been there," Li Chenguang said. "We just had the wedding banquet in Shenzhen before the Lunar New Year. Xiaoyun's parents were very supportive of us."
