On the afternoon of Labor Day, around 4 p.m., Li Xiuyuan's brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao and sister Li Qingqing came over with their two children. After hearing the noise in the study, Li Xiuyuan did not rush out, but instead locked his notebook in the drawer.
The things in this notebook are not suitable for anyone but myself to see; only I should know them.
After locking up his laptop, Li Xiuyuan went to the living room, greeted his sister and brother-in-law, and then started playing with his two nephews. After playing with the two children for a while, Li Xiuyuan took the opportunity to call his sister, Li Qingqing, to his room.
"Sister, please sit down. I have something I want to ask you," Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"What is it?" Li Qingqing had already guessed what Li Xiuyuan wanted to ask, and her expression was a little unnatural as she spoke. Her younger brother was still the same younger brother, but as he grew older...
This is no longer the little kid who used to follow her around and call her name; she's grown up.
Especially after her younger brother Li Xiuyuan started working, she initially didn't care. No matter what her brother did, whether he passed the exam to work in the county government office or became a secretary for a leader, he was still her brother.
In front of himself, he's still that little kid.
But as time went on, problems that even our whole family couldn't solve together were easily resolved by my younger brother, and that made all the difference.
Psychologically, it becomes very difficult to see the younger brother as that clueless little boy.
"Sister, I heard from Mom and Dad that you and your husband sent over 20,000 yuan a few days ago. What's going on?" Li Xiuyuan didn't hide anything from his sister and asked directly.
Li Qingqing had already guessed that Li Xiuyuan would definitely ask about this.
Having already prepared an answer in mind, I smiled and said, "What else could it be but showing filial piety to my parents?"
Li Xiuyuan remained silent, only looking at his sister. Li Qingqing felt a little awkward under her brother's gaze, but still forced herself to speak, "What's wrong? Don't you trust your sister? Or do you think I have something on my mind?"
The reason she didn't admit it was all pre-arranged at home. She felt it was for Li Xiuyuan's own good. As long as Li Xiuyuan didn't know, it was money given to his parents as a sign of filial piety, and no one could say anything about it. As for whether his parents took it to subsidize their son or for something else, she didn't care.
But if Li Xiuyuan finds out, things will change.
Li Xiuyuan listened to his sister Li Qingqing's words and gave a bitter smile: "Sister, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter just doesn't make sense. You can't fool anyone with what I'm saying. If you don't tell me, then I'll give the 20,000 yuan to my brother-in-law in a bit, and you can take it back."
My parents are in good health now, and I'm earning money. When we need to support them in the future, I definitely won't be shy about asking my sister for help, but there's no need for that now. Besides, you just bought a house and aren't wealthy yet.
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, Li Qingqing wanted to speak, but Li Xiuyuan immediately continued, "Sister, don't give me any excuses. If you don't tell the truth, I can only consider it a thank-you fee for helping your family's agricultural supply store last time, and I definitely can't accept this money."
Before Li Qingqing came, she had considered that Li Xiuyuan would ask this question and had thought of an answer, but now she found that she was shut down by Li Xiuyuan in just a few words.
