So, when the siblings were having dinner together, they talked about this matter again.
Li Mingde was the first to express his thoughts.
"Sister, if you ask me, you should continue studying. Look, Dad hasn't retired yet, Mom is taking care of us at home, and Grandma and Grandpa are in good health. There's nothing for you to worry about at home. If you don't study, what else are you going to do?"
Li Mingyi echoed, "That's right, sister. Although I don't know what you want to do, I think now that you have this opportunity, you should seize it firmly. Think about it, there are so many people who don't even have the chance to go to college, let alone graduate school!"
Li Mingxi sighed before speaking, "I know what you said, but I'm thinking about bringing grandma and the others over as well. But if I continue with my graduate studies, I don't know when I'll be able to bring them over!"
"Oh, so that's what it is. I thought it was nothing. If you want to pick up grandpa and grandma, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Mingde looked at Li Mingxi with resentment, unable to understand why she had to hide such a small matter from everyone. He was shocked and thought there was something else going on!
Li Mingyi spoke directly, "Isn't it just about bringing grandpa and grandma over? That's easy. If you want to bring them over, just do it. When the time comes, Xiao De and I will pay for a house for them to live in. That's all!"
When Li Mingde heard that he was asked to take the money, he was a little unhappy, but then he thought that he had to support his grandparents, so he didn't raise any objections.
He even patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, sister. After we bring grandpa and grandma here, my brother and I will take care of them in their old age and make sure they have good food and shelter!"
It was Li Mingxi's own idea to bring her grandparents over. Besides, she had just bought a courtyard house some time ago, so she naturally wouldn't let her grandparents rent a house to live in.
The origin of this house is a little difficult to explain. She can't say that she earned it by running the store in recent years. Her two younger brothers know the money she earned from running the store better than she does.
What can I say?
For a moment, Li Mingxi was worried.
When the two younger brothers saw her sad face, they looked at each other, both of them were confused.
Li Mingde couldn't bear to watch and spoke first, "What's the matter? Sister, now that everything is resolved, what are you still worried about?"
"No, I'm telling you, sister. You've changed since you went to college. You don't tell us anything. Tell me, do you still consider us brothers?"
Li Mingxi raised his eyes and glanced at his silly brother. "Do you want to listen to what you have to say?"
"What did I say? I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said, sister. Although sometimes you don't want me and my brother to know what you're doing, you think we don't know. All this time, you've been secretly hiding antiques from all of us. You're reselling this, right?"
Before he could finish, Li Mingyi spoke first, "Xiao De, what are you doing?"
Li Mingde looked at his brother as if it was a matter of course.
"Brother, don't call me, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Isn't this what you told me?"
Li Mingxi turned and looked at Li Mingyi.
Li Mingyi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by his sister with such scrutinizing eyes.
Li Mingde was a little unhappy when he saw that his brother was being manipulated by his sister again.
"Okay, brother, stop it. You're doing this for your sister's own good. There's no need to be afraid of her!"
As Li Mingde finished speaking, Li Mingyi lowered his head lower and lower. If possible, he really hoped that this silly boy would stop talking.
Li Mingde hadn't figured out the situation yet, but when he saw that the two men were silent, he started nagging again.
"Sister, I know you do that to make more money, but the policy is not very good now. You are doing this, it is dangerous, you know? Grandma said that my brother and I will take care of you here, but if something happens to you, how are we going to explain it to Grandma?"
Seeing that he was about to nag again, Li Mingxi spoke directly, "Okay, okay, I know everything you said, just stop talking, okay? I know what I'm doing, you don't have to worry about it, just take care of yourself, okay?"
Seeing his sister asking about him, Li Mingde was confused. "What's wrong with me? Sister, what do you mean? What do you mean by me taking care of myself? I'm fine."
Li Mingxi raised his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Really? Are you okay? Why? I heard that there's a girl in your college who's madly in love with you. Tell me, did you do something out of the ordinary again? That's why a girl who just entered college is so crazy?"
Hearing her say this, Li Mingde blushed, and then quickly explained, "I didn't, sister, who told you this?"
"Who cares who I listen to? You have to take care of yourself. If you don't like girls, don't mess with them. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I'll see how you end up!"
Li Mingde was a little unhappy after being scolded by his sister.
"Okay, I know everything you said. Don't worry, I will pay attention to it!"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "But you, sister, that big brother Huo has been pursuing you for several years, right? When did you agree?"
Li Mingxi was stunned by his question. "Didn't you say that? He's been pursuing me for several years? How come I didn't know?"
Seeing her reaction, Li Mingde also realized that Huo Jingchen probably hadn't told his sister yet. If he told it now, wouldn't it be a bad thing?
"Nothing, nothing, sister. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first. Our teacher asked me to go to the lab this afternoon, and it's getting late!"
As he spoke, he picked up the clothes hanging at the door and ran away quickly. All his movements were done in one go. Before Li Mingxi could react, he was gone.
Pointing at the door, Li Mingxi asked Li Mingyi, who was still sitting there, with a puzzled look on his face.
"What did he mean just now? What did he mean by Huo Jingchen has been pursuing me for several years? How come I didn't know that?"
Seeing Li Mingxi asking this again, Li Mingyi cursed Li Mingde several times in his heart for being more of a hindrance than an accomplisher.
But she looked calm, "I don't know either. I guess that guy is just imagining things again. Sister, you don't know, Xiao De's mind is full of random thoughts all day long!"
"As for that female classmate, if he hadn't been talking nonsense, how would he have gotten into trouble? In my opinion, he really deserves it. So, you better ignore him."
Li Mingxi looked at Li Mingyi suspiciously, "Really?"
"Really? I guarantee it with both hands. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Brother Huo and see what he says!"
After saying this, Li Mingyi sneaked over to see Li Mingxi's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingxi's face was full of disgust.
"Forget it. I won't ask him. He's so serious all day long. It's scary just thinking about it!"
As she said this, she shook her head.
It looked as if Huo Jingchen was some kind of monster!
When Li Mingyi saw this situation, he silently lit a candle for Huo Jingchen in his heart.
Judging from the way my sister looks, Brother Huo still has a long way to go in pursuing his wife!
