But thinking that my son was talking in his sleep, it made sense.
Feng Yuying didn't say anything else in the end, because her working time was almost up, so she could only turn around and leave immediately.
Her workplace is quite far from her rented house, so she can't get home until around seven in the evening. She brings lunch from home and heats it up in the microwave.
That's why she doesn't go home at noon.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Feng Yuying came back with the vegetables she bought on her way home from get off work.
Her husband gets off work even later than she does, usually coming home around 7:30.
Although her son came back during this period, he went out to find a job and came back very late every day, almost at the same time as Feng Yuying's husband.
Therefore, among the whole family, Feng Yuying was the first one to come back.
She took out her key and opened the door as usual, but she didn't expect that the lights in the house were not on.
Is someone back?
After Feng Yuying opened the door, she immediately looked towards the living room and saw her son Li Yi sitting on the sofa, watching TV with his feet up.
Feng Yuying thought he had come back early the day before and asked subconsciously.
"You're back so early?"
Li Yi didn't even turn his eyes and said lightly: "I didn't go out all day."
Didn’t go out?
Didn’t your son go out to find a job today?
Feng Yuying was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask something, but her eyes caught her son's indifferent expression, so she swallowed the words in the end.
She thought her son might be frustrated by not having any work opportunities during this period, so he wanted to rest for two days.
She herself didn't know what to say at this juncture, so she could only walk to the kitchen in silence, intending to cook a delicious meal to make her son happier.
Just as she walked towards the kitchen, she saw her son sitting on the sofa put down the remote control with a thud and looked at her with dissatisfaction.
"Mom, what are you doing?!"
Feng Yuying was stunned by the question. After a moment's pause, she subconsciously said, "Cook, it's almost 7:30. If you don't cook, your dad will be back soon..."
Li Yi said angrily, "Cooking? That's all you know now! Are you really willing to be a housewife, cooking and doing housework for the rest of your life?"
Feng Yuying was stunned by her son's words.
She thought to herself, what does it mean that she is willing to be a housewife for the rest of her life?
But their family conditions are like this, there is nothing she can do if she doesn't want to do it. Is it possible for her to hire someone else to do it?
Where do they get the money to hire a nanny?
Or did her son read some inspirational quotes on the Internet that encouraged her to rise up and become a successful woman?
Feng Yuying frowned, she really couldn't understand what her son meant by that.
Just when she was confused, she heard her son Li Yi continue.
"When did you become so depraved?!"
Depravity?
Feng Yuying's eyes widened in disbelief.
My son actually said that he had fallen!
"With our family's financial situation, you don't need to do all this, but because you and my father don't know how to manage the business, the family fortune left by our ancestors has been wasted like this!"
family property?
What property?
How come she doesn't know?
Feng Yuying was not angry at this moment, she was completely confused.
She has been married to the Li family for more than 20 years, but she has never heard of any property of the Li family!
Isn't her man just an ordinary rural man with an old house and a few fields and lands?
When she and her husband got married, they farmed at home for a year or two, and all their expenses were earned from farming.
If there really was any family property, she wouldn't have failed to discover it, and her husband wouldn't have hidden it away and not given it to her, right?
Moreover, her husband and his father-in-law were also farmers. They died one after another due to overwork in the second year after she got married.
So Feng Yuying knew everything about the entire Li family inside and out.
How could a son talk about "family property"?
Feng Yuying felt something was wrong and finally asked her son.
"Xiao Yi, what family property? What the hell are you talking about?"
Li Yi looked at her expressionlessly.
"Do you think it's interesting to ask these questions now?"
Feng Yuying: “???”
What the hell is going on?
Li Yi continued: "You and Dad should think of a way to make a comeback."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up and went back to the bedroom. When he entered, he disliked the door because it was too small and too broken, so he kicked it hard.
With a bang, the bedroom door closed.
Feng Yuying was still standing there, with a confused look on her face.
What comeback?
Were they ever glorious in the past?
In the end, no matter how hard Feng Yuying thought, she couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was getting late, she could only go and cook.
When the meal was almost ready, her husband came back. She quickly called him to the kitchen and told him what her son had just said.
"Old Li, tell me what your son means by this. Have you been hiding some money from me, or has your Li family been hiding some kind of wealth from me?"
When Feng Yuying said this, she was really suspicious.
If the Li family didn't really have something to hide, his son wouldn't have said this for no reason.
But she didn't expect that, after being married to the Li family for so long, she thought that she and her husband had a deep relationship and no longer had any secrets from each other, but he still hid the "Li family's property" and didn't tell her.
How could she not be angry?
But when her husband heard this, he was even more confused than her and quickly explained.
"Where did the family fortune come from?!"
"Don't you manage all the money in our family? I even have to ask you for money to buy a pack of cigarettes! What kind of property do I have?"
Old Li felt that he was wronged.
He only had enough money for transportation and food in his pocket every day, which was barely enough to make ends meet. Even though he was so frugal during his marriage, his wife still suspected that he was hiding a secret stash of money.
Feng Yuying looked at his expression and it didn't look like he was lying.
But after thinking about it, I still find it strange.
"Then why did my son say that? He couldn't have said it for no reason. There must be some reason, right?"
Old Li also frowned.
"I'll ask him later when we have dinner."
After a while, the meal was served, and Old Li went directly to the door of his son Li Yi's room, knocked on the door and called him.
"Li Yi, come out for dinner."
It took a long time before Li Yi's answer came from inside the house.
"I don't want to eat!"
Old Li frowned even more tightly.
"Why aren't you eating? Come out and eat!"
But no matter how he asked, Li Yi still said: "I don't want to eat, I'm so annoyed, don't bother me!"
When Old Li heard this, he immediately became furious.
I'm very tired after a day of work. My wife just asked me some questions, and now my son is throwing a tantrum for no reason!
"You're already in your twenties, and you still don't know anything. You can't find a job, and you don't do any housework. Do you really think we can support you forever?!"
Old Li couldn't help but scold at the door.
This time it worked, and the son opened the door quickly.
He looked at his father with anger on his face and retorted.
"How dare you criticize me? If you hadn't squandered all the family fortune left by our ancestors, if you hadn't been incompetent in running the business, would our family have ended up like this?!"
"Look at the house we live in now, and the life we lead, how different are we from before?"
"Even my mother, such a beautiful lady, is now forced to do the same things as ordinary women: cooking and doing housework. Have you seen her hands? They're so rough now!"
Li Yi spoke a lot in one breath, as if he had vented all the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li and Feng Yuying were dumbfounded.
My son said what are these?
Haven't they always lived in a house like this?
They have rented this house for twenty years, almost as long as Li Yi can remember.
Also, Feng Yuying was a girl who loved to look pretty before she got married, but after she got married, she never dressed up. She was just like an ordinary rural woman, taking care of the family. When did she become a lady?
Her hands had become rough from doing housework for decades, how could they suddenly become like this?
The most bizarre thing is that the son talked about some family property and said that he had squandered it all?
What inheritance did our ancestors leave behind?
The only valuable things are a few pieces of land and the homestead of the old house!
But aren't those things still in my hometown? No one wants them, so how could he have squandered them all?!
The couple looked at each other for a long time, and finally realized that their son might be sick.
Otherwise, how could he not have started talking nonsense!
The two of them suddenly became anxious, and Feng Yuying hurried to his son Li Yi and asked him carefully.
"Xiao Yi, do you know who I am and what my name is?"
Hearing this, Li Yi looked at her irritably.
"Mom, it's already this late, and you still have the mind to ask whether these things are true or not! I'm not stupid, I don't know who you are!"
He's really not stupid.
But after seeing her son say this with a clear mind, Feng Yuying became even more worried.
Only a madman doesn't think he is crazy.
Just based on what her son just said, she felt that something was wrong with him.
Feng Yuying suppressed her panic and continued to ask her son.
"Xiaoyi, you just mentioned the family property. What exactly is it? Tell me about it. I kind of don't remember it."
Li Yi looked at her coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with why his mother had forgotten such an important thing.
Finally he snorted heavily and began to answer her questions.
"Our Li family has been doing business since my great-grandfather's generation. During my grandfather's generation, the family assets exceeded 10 billion. Finally, when my grandfather passed away and handed the family business to my father, he failed in his investments and directly caused the entire Li family to go bankrupt!"
"Several generations' worth of hard-earned wealth was just emptied out by him. Shouldn't I blame him?!"
Feng Yuying and his wife opened their mouths wide.
The Li family has a fortune worth tens of billions, and their great-grandfather's generation started doing business...
How come they have lived for so long and still don't know about this?!
As Old Li listened, his face suddenly became extremely ugly and he was so angry that he cursed loudly.
