Li Yan sat at the wooden table they used for eating, with a candle lit on the table.
Li Ke turned on the light and asked her sister, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? And why aren't you turning on the light?"
"Turning on the lights costs electricity. I can't sleep until my sister comes back."
Li Ke came over, touched his sister's hair as she stood up, and said softly, "I've asked Aunt Wan. We provide food and lodging here, and there's no need to deduct any fees. If you want to save electricity, you can turn on the energy-saving lamp."
Li Yan blew out the candle and said, "Then I'll just turn on the energy-saving lamp from now on."
Li Ke turned on the fan and said to his sister, "Look at you, you're sweating all over."
There is actually air conditioning in the room, but the three siblings felt that the Jun family was being particularly kind to them since Li Ke was the only one working and all three of them lived here, so they saved as much as they could.
Li Ke would only turn on the air conditioner for a while when it was too hot during lunch break.
"Is my brother asleep?"
Li Ke asked his sister.
"When he sleeps, he's like a little pig. No matter how hot it is, he can fall asleep quickly once he gets into bed. I really envy him."
Li Yan is a few years older than her younger brother, so she has more things to think about and cannot fall asleep as easily as her younger brother.
Li Ke walked over, pushed open his brother's door, went in to take a look, and seeing that his brother was sleeping soundly, he quietly retreated, but did not close the door again. The weather was hot, so he just closed the door. If he closed the door again without turning on the air conditioner, it would be too stuffy.
"Sister, what's going on?"
After Li Yan waited for her sister to come out, she asked with concern, "Is the Third Young Master back? How is that person? Is he dead?"
"He won't die. Brother Qiang and the others want money, not his life. They won't beat him to death. If they wanted to, he wouldn't know how many times he'd have died."
Li Ke pulled his sister to sit down again.
My sister doesn’t even want to call me dad now.
She enjoyed her father's love before her younger brother and sister were born, but her younger sister did not enjoy much of his love. At that time, her father hoped that her mother would give birth to a son. When her younger sister was born and found out that it was a daughter, her father was very disappointed.
I didn't care much about my younger sister, and later when I had a younger brother, my younger sister received even less attention.
After her stepmother came into the house, she lived in the school dormitory. At first, she didn't know that her younger siblings were being abused by her stepmother. When she found out, she found out that her younger siblings had been abused by her stepmother for a long time. The vicious woman even threatened her younger siblings, telling her not to let her know, otherwise she would be beaten even more severely.
The younger brother was too young to speak, and the younger sister had decent expressive ability at that time, but she didn't dare to speak after being threatened and intimidated by her stepmother.
When the younger sister-in-law was abused, the stepmother lied to her father and said that the younger sister was disobedient and was disciplined, but she did not say that she also abused Li Ming. When the father knew that the younger sister was beaten, he did not say anything.
If she hadn't discovered it later and made a big fuss, her father wouldn't have known that her brother had also been beaten.
It is true that if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.
Later, she rented a house near the school and stopped living on campus. She chose to go to school on the day and brought her younger siblings with her. Fortunately, the school she attended was a combination of elementary, middle and high school, and her younger sister later attended elementary school in the same school.
My younger brother went to a kindergarten near the school.
But even though she lived with her younger siblings, the beatings she suffered in her childhood left a shadow on her sister, causing her sister, who already had a weak relationship with her father, to dislike being close to their father even more. This time, her father wanted to sell the two sisters to pay off his debts, which aroused the sister's pent-up hatred.
So, my sister doesn’t like to call him dad and often uses that person instead.
"I thought he was going to die."
Li Yan said bitterly, "He's really unlucky."
He was beaten so many times but he didn't die.
"Xiaoyan, we can't hope for his death now."
Li Ke took out the letter of guarantee that Jun Li had given her and handed it to her sister. "After the Third Young Master visited him in the hospital, he went to find Brother Qiang. This is the letter of guarantee written by Brother Qiang. The Third Young Master said that if you keep it, it will guarantee our safety for a few years. As long as Li Yongtai does not lose his ability to make money, we will not be disturbed by them again."
It is only natural to pay back debts. However, since the debtors are Li Yongtai and his wife, it is natural for them to earn money to pay off the debt first.
The debt has nothing to do with her siblings for the time being.
After reading the letter of guarantee written by Brother Qiang, Li Yan was surprised and delighted. She asked her sister, "Sister, can this person really do what he said in the letter of guarantee? How did the Third Young Master do it?"
In Li Yan's eyes, Brother Qiang and his men looked ferocious and ferocious, as if they were fearless.
"They still have to give face to the Third Young Master of the Jun family. It's not just for the Third Young Master, but mainly for Fengchen Villa and Mr. Ye."
People didn’t dare to offend Fengchen Villa easily in the past, and they are even more afraid now.
The eldest young lady has the Lan family behind her, and the fourth young lady has a group of legendary bigwigs behind her. Who dares to offend Fengchen Villa?
Even if you are tired of living, you dare not cause trouble for Fengchen Villa.
"Sister, then my brother and I can go to school normally after school starts."
What Li Yan worries most is that her studies will be interrupted.
"Don't worry, you can go to school as usual and study peacefully. Leave the money-making to me. Don't worry, I will definitely support you both through college."
"sister."
Li Yan has always been very dependent on her sister.
In her heart, her sister is both a sister and a mother.
If it weren't for her sister, she and her brother would probably have been abused to death by their stepmother.
Li Yan often sees stories online about children being abused to death by their stepmothers, so she is glad that she has an older sister who saved her from danger.
As for her biological mother, Li Yan had no impression of her. Although her sister said that her biological mother also had her own helplessness, she still felt a little resentful towards her.
"This is a good thing, why are you crying?"
Li Ke wiped away her sister's tears distressedly, "Back then, when Mom left us, she refused to take me with her. She told me that since she was gone, I was the eldest sister, so much older than you, and I had to protect you until you grow up."
"I will work hard to become stronger so that they can no longer bully us."
Li Ke was very moved by what Jun Li said.
Working at Fengchen Villa was very stable, but the monthly income was only enough for the three siblings to live on, with no money left over. She was unwilling to live like this for the rest of her life.
I want to start a business and create a bright future for myself and my younger siblings.
"Sister, I'll be out soon. After I graduate, we can make money together."
"School starts in September and you're only in your third year of high school. You still have several years to go before you graduate from college. Don't think about making money. Study hard first. Your first goal is to get into a key university."
Li Ke said to her sister, "Don't think about not going to school after graduating from high school. I will never allow that. You don't have to worry about tuition. I have some private money hidden here, enough for you and your brother to go to school."
"Now that they are the ones paying off the debt, our pressure is much less."
Li Yan nodded heavily.
