"Oh, right, your sister and brother-in-law sent over 20,000 yuan a couple of days ago. You were busy with work before, so I didn't tell you. I was thinking of telling you when you had your vacation," Li Jianguo said, getting down to business.
Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at his parents: "Did my sister and brother-in-law say what this money is for?"
“They didn’t say anything, just that it was a gift for us, and that we could spend it as we pleased. We didn’t want it, but your sister and brother-in-law were very adamant,” Li Jianguo said.
He also sensed that something was wrong. Twenty thousand yuan was a huge sum of money. The average monthly salary in Huangyuan County was only about one thousand yuan, and many people only earned a few hundred yuan a month.
As a result, their daughter and son-in-law immediately sent them 20,000 yuan. It was their own daughter who gave them the money; otherwise, they would have been unable to sleep after receiving it.
Even though her daughter brought it over, she still felt uneasy, thinking that she should talk to Xiuyuan when he returned.
Why send so much money over at once when it's neither a holiday nor a festival? Even during holidays, if a daughter and son-in-law want to show their filial piety, they don't need this much money. A few hundred or three hundred is already quite a lot.
Even buying something for thirty or fifty yuan is acceptable.
That much money is not needed at all.
Li Xiuyuan was also a little confused about what his sister and brother-in-law meant, but there was definitely something wrong with the money. If his parents were sick and needed money, it wouldn't be a problem for his sister and brother-in-law to contribute some money.
The problem is that they actually sent over 20,000 yuan, which is suspicious.
"How about this, invite my brother-in-law and sister over for dinner tomorrow night. We're all family, so it's good to ask them in person," Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Jianguo nodded. He didn't ask anything, but he believed that his son Li Xiuyuan would definitely have a way, and that the money might even be related to Li Xiuyuan.
Otherwise, this is 20,000 yuan, not 200 yuan. This money must have gone through the son-in-law Zhang Zhihao, or even the in-law Zhang Yucai. They certainly didn't give it away for free.
Given their family's situation, what could they possibly want? They only want their son, Li Xiuyuan.
Actually, many things are obvious. Li Jianguo was a little tired. It was a good thing that his son became a leader, but after he became a leader, even his own family felt that things had changed. His daughter and son-in-law came over and threw down 20,000 yuan without saying a word.
Even as a father, I still need to figure it out.
Seeing his father's thoughtful expression, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Dad, don't overthink it. Go to bed with Mom. When my sister comes over, we can ask her. We're all family, no need to overthink it."
Li Jianguo nodded and he and Zhang Qiuhe got up and went back to their room to rest. He also told Li Xiuyuan to get some rest as well.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and took his water glass back to his room. Although he told his parents not to worry about it, he himself had been thinking about it quite a bit.
