Just then, Li Yanhong and her family entered.
Although she hasn't been in much contact with her brothers in recent years, she still visits her parents' home to pay New Year's respects.
"Dad, Mom." Li Yanhong led her two children in, and her expression became somewhat unnatural when she saw so many people in the room.
"Yan Hong is here," Liu Juan quickly greeted her. "Come in and sit down."
Li Yanhong glanced at Li Chenyang and Ye Xiaoxiao, then at Li Chenjun and Xiaoyun, and smiled as she invited them in to sit down.
Her husband, Chen Dashun, greeted everyone and even said to Li Chenjun with a smile:
"Sixth brother, you're back! Have you all gotten married yet?"
When Chen Dashun saw a woman standing next to Lao Liu, he immediately knew what was going on.
"Yes, this is my wife."
Li Chenjun was happy to be back today. When he saw his second sister, he treated them equally and directly handed each of his two nephews a red envelope.
"Wow... Sixth Brother, you've made a fortune!"
Li Yanhong disregarded the fact that the money was for the child, and that what was for the child was also for her; she simply took the red envelope, opened it, and looked at the contents.
Goodness, ten hundred-yuan bills. That's like receiving a thousand yuan in cash!
Two children would cost two thousand. She was so happy her eyes narrowed.
"Sixth Brother, you're really something! Giving out red envelopes of a thousand each, you're much more generous than some other people."
Li Yanhong's words were clearly referring to the eldest son's family.
They're both people who make a lot of money, yet he only gives his own child ten yuan each time. He's really stingy compared to his sixth brother.
The sixth brother was displeased upon hearing this. How could he not know what his second sister meant?
"Second sister, if you're too busy, I'll take it back. It's the New Year, can't we talk properly? Who are you talking about?"
The sixth brother was unhappy to hear his second sister talk about his sister-in-law.
She's my second sister, but I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for my sister-in-law always keeping an eye on our studies.
Thinking about this, he felt that now that he had money, he should give his elder brother and sister-in-law something decent. That's it, he'd give his sister-in-law an apartment.
Li Chenjun had no idea that Ye Xiaoxiao secretly owned nearly twenty houses and a huge pile of gold bars.
All I know is that my older brother and sister-in-law own two stores selling home appliances.
"Yan Hong!" Chen Dashun interrupted her.
"It's Chinese New Year, don't talk about these things."
Chen Dashun was truly exasperated with his wife. She was already thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and she still had this temper.
It made him feel embarrassed every time he went back to his wife's parents' home.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Lao Qi aside, saying, "Lao Qi, have you told Mom and Dad about your relationship with Teacher Zhou?"
This successfully changed the subject. Liu Juan perked up immediately: "Teacher Zhou? Is she a teacher at a school?" Liu Juan didn't want to hear her daughter say those things, and immediately started paying attention to Lao Qi's marriage.
"Mom, what are you saying?" the seventh child laughed. "Aren't I a teacher too?"
The family chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Only Li Yanhong sat in the corner, watching her brothers' triumph, feeling uneasy.
"Sixth Brother,"
She suddenly asked what Lao Liu was doing up south, that he'd made a fortune, and that she'd heard many people had gone south to work in recent years.
Could she really make a fortune over there? She was somewhat tempted; her brothers were doing better and better.
Their own family was always struggling financially. Although their two sons were doing well in school, life was still very difficult.
"They set up an electronics factory," Li Zhonghao immediately chimed in.
"Auntie, Sixth Uncle is a boss now, he owns a factory. He's really impressive."
"Really?"
Li Yanhong's expression was indescribable. She grabbed her sixth brother's arm.
"Do you think I can go work over there?"
Li Yanhong now feels that farming at home is simply not feasible. People need to go out and work to earn money quickly.
Thinking about her two sons, she realized she'd need to build two houses for them in the future, and that made her anxious.
"Second sister, let's do this..."
After thinking for a moment, Li Chenjun said...
"Let my brother-in-law come with me to Shenzhen first. The factory is short-staffed, and if he's willing, he can work as a supervisor first."
You stay home and take care of the children; we'll talk about it once things are settled over there.
Upon hearing this, Li Yanhong's eyes immediately lit up:
"Really? Sixth Brother, then I'll let your brother-in-law come with you." She turned to Chen Dashun. "What do you think?"
Chen Dashun hesitated for a moment: "But...at home..."
Actually, he wanted to say that collecting scrap metal wasn't so bad; it was easy and free. If he really went south with Lao Liu, working a regular job every day…
"Go ahead and don't worry," Li Yanhong said, a rare smile appearing on her face.
"I'll take care of the children. You do your best over there."
Li Yanhong was truly happy this time.
Finally, her brothers from her maternal family haven't forgotten her and will help her family get rich together.
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at his sixth brother was incredibly affectionate.
But deep down, he disliked his sister-in-law even more.
Look, these are real brothers. Ye Xiaoxiao is just an outsider.
After seeing off Li Yanhong's family, Li Chenjun and Xiaoyun stayed at home for a few more days.
Later, Li Chenjun specifically sought out Li Chenyang and Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Brother, sister-in-law," he said mysteriously, "I have a surprise for you."
As he spoke, he took a property ownership certificate out of his bag.
"This is a house I bought near your place, not far from yours."
Ye Xiaoxiao was quite surprised. She had always made sure her sixth brother studied hard, so he wouldn't betray her older brother like in the original story. She never expected he'd actually be willing to buy a house for their family. "Sixth brother, this..."
