Chapter 219 No, I don’t agree
"Brother means to let Shuanzi live in our house in the future. Zhiwen is also studying, so the two of them will have company." Gu Yan could only make it clearer.
"What? Live in our house? No, I don't agree." When Li Yingdi heard this, he immediately expressed his disagreement.
Gu Yan knew that Li Yingdi would not agree easily, but he had already thought of a reason to fool her.
It can't be said to be deception, but rather persuasion. After all, he is not someone who will suffer losses.
Although he agreed in a fit of rage, he was not stupid enough to cry poor and ask his father and elder brother to promise to send them more things in the future.
He can sell the things sent to him for money, which will be used as accommodation fee for Shuanzi.
"Why are you shouting? Shuanzi is my nephew. What's wrong with letting him live at home? Besides, Shuanzi brings his own food. He doesn't eat and drink for free." Gu Bei said.
"That won't work either. Do you think taking care of a child is easy? You make it sound easy, but the one you're taking care of isn't you.
Do you think you can just take some food and be done with it? Oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar are free, right? And soapberries for washing clothes are free, too?
Even if we don't say all these, what if the child has a headache or fever, or has an accident?
Don't tell me it's impossible, it's all possible.
Also, I am willing to take care of my own son no matter how tired I am, but why should I take care of someone else's son?
Don't you think he's your nephew? He's your nephew, not mine." Li Yingdi said firmly.
"Shuanzi is already so old, how could he easily get into an accident?
And my eldest brother said that they will send us pheasants and rabbits every month, and mountain products in the autumn.
Use your pig brain to think about it, pheasants and rabbits can make money when they are sold.
There are also walnuts, chestnuts, and pine nuts from the mountains. Although they are worthless in our mountains, they are rare items that can be sold for a lot of money in the town or county.
What do you really think of me? Can a man like you do something that has no benefits?
And you don’t even think about it, it was Dad who brought Big Brother here today, and it was Dad who first spoke to me.
It's obvious that this was something my father and eldest brother discussed at home.
You said Dad has already asked, how can I refuse?" Gu Bei broke it down and explained to her.
"What's wrong with Dad asking for it? Why can't I refuse? If Mom and Dad come to live here, I definitely can't object." Li Yingdi said.
Li Yingdi thought clearly that Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua were only in their forties and in good health.
If I lived with them, I would definitely be able to help with a lot of things.
The most important thing is that if they live with them, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua’s pension money and food will definitely be subsidized to them.
This was something Li Yingdi had been thinking about for a long time, but she had not had time to discuss it with Gu Bei.
"Of course I can't refuse. If I refuse directly, it would be like offending my father.
You know, we go back home every month and get a lot of things from Dad.
The reason why my parents always give me things every time I go is because I am sweet-talking and good at speaking.
And I basically never contradict my parents to their faces.
You said that if I refused this time, my father would definitely be angry.
If Dad gets angry, will he still give me anything when I go back next time?
You think I want to agree, but there is no other way?
And there will be benefits if I agree. If my father agrees, he will go around more often, set more traps, and catch pheasants and rabbits and send them to us.
My eldest brother also agreed. Not only did he send us pheasants and rabbits, he also asked my eldest sister-in-law and others to dig bamboo shoots, dry them, pick mushrooms, fungus, and all kinds of mountain products and send them to us.
Moreover, when Shuanzi lives at home in the future, even though his eldest brother and his family feel sorry for their son, they will often bring game over.
This way, you and your son can also catch up on your gains." Gu Bei explained the situation to Li Ying again.
"If that's what you said, then we have to let Shuanzi come?" Li Yingdi was unwilling in his heart, but what Gu Bei said made sense.
The reason why their family can live a decent life is because Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua are partial to them.
Every time Gu Bei went back, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua would bring him a lot of things.
Although Gu Chongshan is old and can no longer hunt large prey such as wild boars, he can still hunt pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer.
All the prey that Gu Chongshan brought back were dried by Zhang Dahua, and then Zhang Dahua brought them to Gu Bei when he went over.
There are also mushrooms, black fungus, pine nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. Zhang Dahua usually picks a lot of them when she has nothing to do.
I left some for the old couple to eat, and brought them the rest.
To be honest, the fact that they can live such a comfortable life is largely due to the efforts of the old couple Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua.
"Of course you can't refuse. You don't want to anger my father and make him ignore us in the future, right?
Besides, Shuanzi is not living here for free, don't worry, when has your man ever suffered any loss?" Gu Yan said.
"What if your elder brother and the others don't give us anything?" Li Yingdi asked worriedly.
"How is that possible? As long as Shuanzi is still living in our house, he wouldn't dare not send it to me.
"Shuanzi is the only son of my eldest brother and his wife. Even if it's just for Shuanzi, my eldest brother will send him away. Just put your mind at ease." Gu Bei said firmly.
"Okay, let him come, but let me be frank with you. If your eldest brother and the others don't bring anything, don't blame me for kicking him out." Li Yingdi said reluctantly.
"No..." Gu Bei was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhiwen who came back from school.
"Mom, do you want me to kick you out?" Zhiwen walked in just in time to hear Li Yingdi's last words.
"Huh? No one, I'm just chatting with your dad.
"Son, you're back. Come in and have a drink of water. I'll cook dinner." Li Yingdi didn't bother to talk when she saw her son coming back. She quickly quickened her hands.
"Come on, son, go wash your hands first. Dad bought you some white sugar cake today. Eat some first to fill your stomach.
But don't eat too much, your mother is cooking bacon, we'll have meat tonight." Gu Bei put his arm around his son's shoulders and went into the house.
"Really? Dad, are we really eating meat today?" Zhiwen was still a child after all, and he was extremely happy to hear that there was meat to eat.
"Of course it's true, when has Dad ever lied to you?
Not only will you have meat today, but every two or three days from now on, your mother will stew meat for you." Gu Bei was particularly fond of his only son.
“Well, I know that my parents love me the most.
"But Dad, isn't our family's money supposed to be saved for my education? Where will we get the money to buy meat?" Zhiwen asked doubtfully.
It’s no wonder Zhiwen was confused, because Li Yingdi often said that he wanted to save money for his studies.
He's heard so much that his ears are about to get calluses, so when he hears that he can eat meat often, his first reaction is to stop saving money for his studies?
