Chapter 51 The Li Family Comes to the Door
Liu Jianmei was stunned; she hadn't thought that way at all!
Zhao Fengxiu praised, "Jianli is right. In the future, you shouldn't look for simple-minded, physically strong idiots like this. They're prone to domestic violence."
It's highly likely, but Zhao Fengxiu doesn't know for sure whether her daughters-in-law actually have any.
After thinking it over, Zhao Fengxiu said, "If I really can't find a suitable person to entrust my life to, I'm fine with never getting married. I don't have any requirements for you. Just don't give me money."
Liu Jianli nodded solemnly.
Liu Jianmei lowered her eyes, as if she had something on her mind.
The meeting will be approved.
Liu Shiping and Liu Jianguo called for dinner, and every now and then they heard a whimpering call for their mother outside the door. Liu Shiping simply finished what was in his bowl and went to wash up.
If you can't hear it, you won't be bothered.
Lin Jingyi was not affected. Since she couldn't get the compensation in the end, she would change her strategy.
"Mom, Jianmei's job is settled. If the store gets too busy in the future, you can still come to me."
Zhenghong has started school, Chengyu is fine, and I…
Zhao Fengxiu glared at her coldly, "What do you mean, 'you'? Just because the sun's out and the rain's stopped, you think you're all that again?"
Lin Jingyi suffered in silence.
Zhao Fengxiu already knew what she was thinking!
All that kindness in introducing Liu Jianmei to a job was just for the main purpose of managing the shop.
With her around, Lin Jingyi can forget about getting involved in anything else.
Seeing that Zhao Fengxiu was so ruthless, Lin Jingyi also walked away.
Later.
When Liu Jianxin returned from cleaning up the clothing store, he heard that the Xu family had been bothering his family.
She was worried that her parents would be too busy to eat, so she went to a restaurant to buy steamed buns. But when she came back, she saw two figures in front of the door!
"Big sister, you're finally back! We..."
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong poured out their grievances and begged Liu Jianxin for help in persuading him.
Liu Jianxin felt both sorry for him and soft-hearted. After listening for a while, he opened the door.
Zhao Fengxiu glared at the two of them and gestured for Liu Jianxin to come in, telling him to ignore them!
Liu Jianxin had no choice but to give them steamed buns to eat. After entering the house, he noticed that his mother looked unwell.
"Mom..." Liu Jianxin was about to speak when Zhao Fengxiu interrupted him.
"If you're going to plead for them, forget it! I don't want to see those two char siu guys."
Liu Jian thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "No, it's just that Sister Zhang went to the county town and heard that the Chen family and the Wang family were having a big fight. She was happy today and gave me half of my wages for this month in advance."
I wanted to save this for you, Mom. You worked so hard dealing with the Xu family today. Jiancheng and Jianguo really deserved to be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, given their tendency to cause trouble, they might get into real trouble for Mom someday.
"It's good that you know. You're so sensible." Zhao Fengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, told them not to worry about them, and then went to rest.
But Liu Jianxin still quietly took out a mat and a blanket and handed them to his two younger brothers outside the door.
They were comforted and given words of advice.
"You'd better just stay outside and don't come in. Be quick with your work these next few days, get up early and come home late, so Mom can calm down."
Once Mom receives the compensation from the Xu family, you can then actively contribute to household expenses, and everything will be fine.
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong looked at each other, and realized that their eldest sister made a lot of sense. They nodded in agreement without hesitation!
This is the only way!
The next day.
The Li family learned that the Liu family had defeated the troublesome Xu family, and the police station had also issued a notice.
The Li family naturally couldn't sit still.
Mr. and Mrs. Li, along with their entire family, including Li Mengfei and her four sons, came to visit.
They first went to Liu Jiancheng's workplace, but didn't see him, so they had to go directly to his door!
Liu Shiping was still selling oil outside the door. When he saw them, he smiled calmly.
How many ounces do you want?
Li's mother roared, "We didn't come here to buy oil! You know that!"
Liu Shiping smiled and asked, "Then what are you here for?"
Mr. Li said, “Our two families have a long history of acquaintance, and we’ve maintained friendly relations over the years. Our children are childhood sweethearts, don’t you think?”
Why have you left our house empty for so long? What does this mean? Don't we all know?
At this time, there were several customers in front of the door, and some passersby stopped to watch.
They knew that the Liu family had been in too much turmoil lately.
Each one is something new and rare!
Liu Shiping understood; his wife had guessed correctly—the Li family had come knocking so quickly.
"Wife! We have a big guest!" Liu Shiping shouted into the house, and a moment later, Zhao Fengxiu came out.
Upon seeing Zhao Fengxiu, Li Mengfei, who was standing behind Li's mother, felt inexplicably nervous, especially since Lin Jingyi had also followed behind Zhao Fengxiu!
Both of them!
Li's mother spoke up, "The Liu family! What exactly do you mean by this?"
Zhao Fengxiu glanced around and calmly said, "Li family, you must be tired from your trip, why don't you come inside and rest, and we can talk sitting down?"
Li's mother waved her hand, "No need! We came here specifically to seek justice for Mengfei!"
"Tell me, your Liu family, if not wealthy, is at least one of the most prominent and successful families in town. How come you're so untrustworthy?"
Li's mother spoke up directly, and the people around her began to whisper among themselves.
Zhao Fengxiu originally wanted to give him a way out and let him come inside to explain things clearly.
After all, she was the object of his former affections, so he should at least give her face.
But since the Li family didn't care about saving face, Zhao Fengxiu didn't bother with being polite anymore.
"Where did I break my promise?" Zhao Fengxiu asked, feigning confusion.
Li's mother paused, then said angrily, "Still trying to argue! You promised to come to our Li family to propose marriage! Now you're still not coming!"
What, is your Liu family going to be heartless? Your fourth son, Liu Jiancheng, is a heartless man! He's been with my Mengfei for so many years, we're childhood sweethearts.
Everyone in town knows they're a couple! Everyone on the street knows! Now you want to renege on your debt?
How am I supposed to get married in the future? Has your Liu family no shame?
The onlookers sighed in dismay.
Zhao Fengxiu's face darkened slightly.
In my past life, I went to the Li family for a blind date too early and was completely controlled by them. Every time I visited, the 2,000 yuan dowry became just that – a dowry – with additional conditions attached.
Not only that, but they also came twice, and I had to buy a house and a full set of furniture!
They're also going to throw a huge banquet with 50 tables, a grand and extravagant affair!
After the marriage, for the third time, she wanted to repair the old house for the Li family. The Li family was just doing whatever they wanted!
Giving the four youngest sons of the Li family new clothes is a small matter!
In her past life, Zhao Fengxiu was foolish; in this life, will she let the Li family succeed?
She refused to let Li Jiacheng or Liu Jiancheng win!
Li's mother glanced at her defiantly, "See? Speechless now! The Liu family is in the wrong! Everyone, be the judge! My fine daughter..."
"So what happened?"
Li's mother was stunned. "Huh?"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "What's wrong with your daughter? Does having a daughter make you so special? It's like nobody else has a daughter!"
Li's mother pointed at her in surprise, "You!"
Zhao Fengxiu sneered, "Your daughter is really precious! Not only does she want a dowry of 2,000 yuan, but she also wants a two-bedroom apartment, a full set of furniture, a banquet for 50 tables, and to renovate the old house for your Li family! Oh, and she also wants to buy new clothes for your four sons!"
Not only that! We might even have to find them wives in the future! Hahaha! If our Liu family were rich, we'd just marry into your Li family!
