Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Human greed
Li Guifen felt uneasy when she saw Liu Laoshi's greedy look. With such in-laws who couldn't distinguish between inside and outside and had no sense of boundaries, could she still live a peaceful life in the future?
Li Guifen felt cold in her heart, but she didn't show it. However, she still had to say what she had to say, "Look at what you said. Brothers have to settle accounts openly, let alone a daughter who is married off. This is the house that Nian Nian's parents-in-law gave to Nian Nian and her husband. How can it be used as a wedding house for Wenhui? Do you think our Shu family is too poor to survive? You want to marry a daughter-in-law and still take advantage of her and plot against her real estate? If you tell others about it, people will criticize you! Wenhui's marriage must follow the village rules. I have already selected a homestead for Wenhui. If nothing else, there will always be three blue brick and tile houses!"
Three brick and tile houses? !
Liu Laoshi lowered her head and curled her lips. She, Liu Laoshi, didn't marry her daughter off just for three blue brick and tile houses! Besides, how can the three blue brick and tile houses in Shujia Village be as fragrant as the courtyard house in Haicheng? The tiled house in Shujia Village is in Shujia Village, and she can't live there. But it's different if it's a courtyard house in Haicheng. She can live in the house in the big city whenever she wants. Isn't it the same as her own home?
But she couldn't say this now. She should let her daughter ask for the house. Shu Wenhui liked her daughter Wang Yiping so much. As long as Wang Yiping asked for it, she believed Shu Wenhui would definitely give it to her!
By then, it will no longer be Li Guifen’s turn to decide!
After making up his mind, Liu Laoshi smiled again, "You are right, dear relative! It's just that mother and daughter are one after all. The maiden's family is the root of the daughter who marries far away. Which daughter who is doing well doesn't want to take care of her maiden's family? Don't you think so, dear relative? I heard that Shu Niannian opened a company in the city. I'm not saying anything bad about you, dear relative, since she has such great ability, why don't you let Wenhui work in her company? Instead of letting others earn money, it's better to give it to your own people. Shu Niannian is the same. She doesn't even think about her brothers from her maiden family."
Liu Laoshi thought that after Shu Wenhui joined Shu Niannian's company, she would ask Shu Wenhui to bring her two sons who were farming at home to Shu Niannian's company, preferably to management positions. It was heard that management positions only require training people and not doing any work, and the salary is high.
Liu Laoshi looked at Li Guifen. She hoped to resonate with Li Guifen, but Li Guifen's face became more and more ugly. Liu Laoshi felt that Li Guifen was really ungrateful. She was giving Li Guifen advice, but Li Guifen seemed very impatient. She really didn't know what she was doing.
Li Guifen ignored Liu Laoshi and went into the kitchen to prepare cooking. She had already made up her mind that after lunch, she would send Liu Laoshi and his daughter away.
When Liu Laoshi saw Li Guifen go into the kitchen, she did not follow her. She and Wang Yiping looked around the yard three times. "Girl, do you like this yard?"
Wang Yiping couldn't take her eyes off the washing machine. "I like it! I like everything here!"
Liu Laoshi nodded in satisfaction, "If you like it, go talk to Shu Wenhui and ask him to give you this yard as your wedding house. I've made inquiries. This is an idle house in Shu Niannian's hands. It just so happens that you and Shu Wenhui don't have a house when you get married, so it's just right to give you this yard as your wedding house!"
Wang Yiping rubbed her hands and said, "But I'm afraid Shu Wenhui won't agree! He likes Shu Niannian very much!"
Liu Laoshi grabbed Wang Yiping's arm and shook it, then said to her with a look of disappointment, "Are you stupid? If he doesn't agree, then you should find a way to make him agree! Cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself, or use the honey trap. Didn't you say that Shu Wenhui really likes you? Which man can bear to see the woman he likes being wronged? The conditions here are so different from those in the countryside. You just say you want to live here, and you won't get married if you don't live here. I don't believe that Shu Wenhui can bear not to marry you."
Wang Yiping thought about the loving look in Shu Wenhui's eyes every time he looked at her, and finally nodded in agreement.
Li Guifen quickly prepared lunch. Although Liu Laoshi was a relative and Wang Yeping was her future daughter-in-law, she should have treated them well. But she was annoyed with Liu Laoshi and just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so she made a very simple lunch. She served a bowl of noodles to each person with some pickles brought from home. Liu Laoshi sat on a stool, looking at the noodles on the table with disbelief in his eyes. Li Guifen actually gave her this to eat?
Are you sending away beggars?
Li Guifen smiled and pushed the bowl of noodles in front of Liu Laoshi. "We came to the city to work and earn money, so we naturally can't spend money lavishly. This is all to save money to build a house for Wenhui. Come, eat. I specially prepared some pickles to treat you today. Usually, Wenhui and I only eat noodles and rarely eat pickles."
Li Guifen deliberately spoke in a very shabby way. She wanted to express that her current financial situation was very bad and she was working hard to save money. However, Liu Laoshi felt that Li Guifen was not smart and was not willing to endure hardships.
Liu Laoshi really couldn't eat the bland noodles. She took a few bites and stopped eating. "My dear, you are too frugal. Does Shu Niannian know that you have such a hard life in Haicheng? I heard that her business can make a lot of money every day. How can she let you eat such a simple lunch without any oil or water? Mother-in-law, listen to me, Shu Niannian is ignorant. You can't let her do this. She is a college student and an entrepreneur. It is a bad reputation to treat her family harshly. Even if you care about her reputation, you can't let her treat you like this. Besides, she makes so much money. If she gives you a little from her fingers, it is enough for you to enjoy life and eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Why do you have to make it so difficult for you to go to work?"
Li Guifen frowned: "I didn't want Nian Nian's money myself, how could it ruin Nian Nian's reputation? Who is the bastard who deliberately spread rumors? Don't let me know, or I will smash her face!"
Because they were in-laws, Li Guifen had always been very polite to Liu Laoshi. At this moment, Liu Laoshi was frightened by Li Guifen's outburst of anger and her aggressive demeanor.
She looked at Li Guifen again and saw that Li Guifen was strong, with a straight back and a fierce face, just like a dark devil. She looked at Li Guifen again and again as if she didn't know her.
Liu Laoshi's heart was beating fast, so he stopped trying to sow discord between Li Guifen and Shu Niannian.
Liu Laoshi secretly regretted that she had made a mistake. Why did she think that Li Guifen was easy to control?
After Li Guifen shocked Liu Laoshi, she restrained her aura. After all, they were about to get married, so it was not good to tear each other apart. After dinner, Li Guifen and Liu Laoshi resumed their friendship. After a while of greeting, Li Guifen got straight to the point and asked, "When are you leaving?"
It's not that she wanted to drive Liu Laoshi away, it's just that she got up too early in the morning and was very sleepy after lunch. It was really inconvenient for Liu Laoshi to stay with her.
Liu Laoshi froze when he heard this, and the fake smile on his face almost disappeared. "My dear, I'm not leaving today. I want to stay in Haicheng for a few days, walk around, have some fun, and broaden my horizons."
Li Guifen: "Oh, where do you live? Tell me the address, and Wenhui and I will take time to visit you tomorrow."
Liu Laoshi smiled and said, "My dear, we don't have any relatives or friends in Haicheng. We only know you and Wenhui."
Li Guifen was surprised and asked, "Is that so? Then which hotel are you staying in?"
Liu Laoshi rubbed his hands and said directly, "My dear, I see you have a lot of houses. Yiping and I can just live in this yard. We are not picky. We can just find a room. It's so expensive to live outside! Why waste this money?"
Li Guifen frowned, not understanding Liu Laoshi's train of thought. "I'm not the only one living in this yard. Wenhui also lives here. You knew that, right?"
Liu Laoshi nodded, not feeling anything wrong at all. "I know, it's because Wenhui lives here that I want to live here. It's a good opportunity for Wenhui and Yiping to get to know each other."
Li Guifen was embarrassed. She reminded Liu Laoshi, "My son Wenhui and your daughter Yiping are only engaged. It is not appropriate for them to live together. If this gets out, your daughter will suffer. It will damage her reputation."
Liu Laoshi smiled honestly, but there was a calculation in her eyes, "What's there to be afraid of? They will get married sooner or later. I don't care at all." It would be better if the relationship was confirmed. As long as they had sex in this yard, this yard would belong to her, Liu Laoshi.
Li Guifen was not stupid. She knew Liu Laoshi's plan after thinking about it. After a long silence, she said firmly, "No, this is not right. Our family is old-fashioned. We don't want to take advantage. If Wenhui and Yiping are together in the future, they must be married in a dignified way. It is not appropriate to live in the same yard now. I don't want people to gossip about my son behind his back. You don't want your daughter to be gossiped about either, right?"
Liu Laoshi wanted to say that she didn't mind, but Li Guifen changed the subject and said seriously, "Besides, this is Nian Nian's house. She lent it to me because she wanted to take care of me and her elder brother. I have to keep this sense of propriety and not ruin the feng shui of this courtyard. How about this, I'll find you a private hotel outside. You can stay as many days as you want. I'll pay for the room. But Wenhui and I are busy working and don't have time to entertain you. You and Yiping can go around Haicheng by yourselves. Is this okay?"
Seeing that Li Guifen was determined, Liu Laoshi was even willing to pay for Li Guifen to stay in a hotel in order to prevent her and Wang Yeping from living here. Liu Laoshi had no choice but to nod and agree.
Wang Yeping was unwilling to stay in the hotel, but Li Guifen insisted, so she had to walk out of the courtyard reluctantly. Li Guifen closed and locked the door. Wang Yeping looked back at the courtyard reluctantly and repeatedly. The vermilion gate was so beautiful!
Why can't she live there?
Li Guifen quickly found a hotel on the street and checked Liu Laoshi and Wang Yiping in. She paid a deposit of 20 yuan, said goodbye to Liu Laoshi politely, and then returned to the courtyard on Chengde Avenue.
