Li Xiuyuan was half-joking, but there was a hint of discomfort in his words. His parents hadn't even consulted him before asking Wang Yi to bring him clothes, which had caught him completely off guard.
Fortunately, Wang Yi had called her in advance. If Wang Yi had taken the clothes and gone straight to the town government, saying that her uncle and aunt had asked her to bring them to her, she would have been in a very difficult situation.
Isn't this damaging to my reputation? I still need to find a partner.
Gossip spreads very quickly within the system. Even if there's nothing between you and Wang Yi, people will think you're materialistic and abandoned Wang Yi. Where will you go to reason with them then?
Li Jianguo also heard the complaint in his son's words. He exchanged a glance with his wife and gestured for her to speak.
Communication between fathers and sons can sometimes lead to awkward silences, but it doesn't matter between mothers and sons; they can talk about anything.
Zhang Qiuhe laughed and said, "What are you saying, child? 'Passing by your home three times without entering,' 'Yu the Great taming the floods,' what are those stories about? I don't understand."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned by his mother's words. He hadn't expected her to be so unpredictable. He smiled wryly and cut to the chase, asking directly, "Mom, why did you suddenly decide to have Wang Yi bring me clothes? And how did you get in touch with Wang Yi?"
Zhang Qiuhe and Li Xiuyuan also sat down on the sofa and recounted what had happened. Li Xiuyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to this, as it was once again his aunt Li Simin who had acted on her own initiative.
“Xiuyuan, we actually think your aunt is right. Wang Yi’s family is quite well-off. If you marry Wang Yi, you won’t have to worry about your future.” Zhang Qiuhe said, and Li Jianguo nodded in agreement.
They were both stunned by He Meili's dowry of five or six hundred thousand yuan. It was only because Li Xiuyuan was now the deputy mayor that they dared not even dream of such a good thing.
Li Xiuyuan felt a headache coming on. If he wanted to make money, why would he need to use his marriage? Based on the business events he knew from his previous life, Li Xiuyuan believed that he would be able to achieve financial freedom in a short time.
But what he's pursuing isn't wealth. What good is money? The traditional social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants has existed for thousands of years. What good is having a little money? Even now, with the social hierarchy of scholars, merchants, artisans, and farmers, it's still the same.
Money is nothing compared to power.
Wang Yonghua is rich, isn't he? He can get anyone to obey him with just a word.
Having money only allows you to exchange it for resources, while having power means you can directly control the allocation of resources. These two are not even in the same league.
Moreover, Wang Yi's family only had a little money, which was nothing at all.
With the limited money and resources her family has, I could acquire them with a single word. The help Wang Yi's family could provide is far less than the support Wu Yiyi's or Wan Xinxin's families could offer.
However, Li Xiuyuan could understand his parents' thoughts on this matter. For ordinary people, it is impossible to have rights, so they can only use money to exchange for social resources. Their thinking was limited to that.
