After a pause, fearing that his third daughter and second son might think he was favoring Xiaoyu, Li Junsheng asked them again, "Since we have the means, why don't we give you two a proper wedding too?"
Upon hearing this, even Li Guohua blushed and waved his hand repeatedly at Li Junsheng.
"Dad, Xiao Cui and I already have a son, why bother with a wedding ceremony? Just make sure Xiao Yu's is done properly."
Li Chunya couldn't help but nod in agreement. She's already on her second marriage, why is she still making such a fuss?
Seeing that his third daughter and second son were not envious of his youngest daughter, Li Junsheng felt at ease.
Now that the house has been purchased, Li Junsheng discussed with Tang Liang's parents, "Let's take the two children to look at furniture again tomorrow. I'll buy it directly as part of Xiaoyu's dowry."
Upon hearing this, Tang's parents were flattered but also somewhat disapproving.
"We should have prepared all of this; how could we let our in-laws pay for it? Let us buy the furniture!"
"Yes, you've already taken care of the wedding banquet. Let us pay for the furniture. We'll make sure to pick out some nice things for Xiaoyu tomorrow. Tang Liang is our only son."
There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Tang are good to Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang. They only have one son, so they devote all their financial and emotional resources to Tang Liang!
Perhaps this is the true meaning of having fewer children, having better children, and living a happy life.
Although his children are all sensible and obedient, Li Junsheng still thinks it's good to have only one child, as it saves him a lot of worry.
After much persuasion from Tang's parents, Li Junsheng agreed to let them pay for the furniture.
For the remaining half day, Li Junsheng sat in the restaurant with Tang Liang's parents and drank tea, but Tang Liang's parents were clearly a little restless.
Tang's father sighed and suddenly said, "We're still more used to living in the countryside. There's nothing to do in the city. We'll have to go back after Xiaoliang gets married."
"Yes, I don't know if the neighbors are feeding our chickens and ducks on time."
The countryside is more leisurely and comfortable, which Tang's parents are used to, while Li Junsheng is used to living in the city!
He was never the kind of person who could live in the countryside and peacefully tend a few plots of farmland.
After Mr. Xiao's son successfully got married and completed the formalities, Mr. Xiao came to see Li Junsheng!
He was holding a glass of wine in his hand. As soon as he saw Li Junsheng, he said respectfully, "Mr. Li, thanks to your help today, my son has finally found a wife. I came here to toast you to express my gratitude."
"You're welcome. Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, on gaining a wonderful daughter-in-law."
Li Junsheng offered tea instead of wine to Boss Xiao as a token of appreciation.
After toasting, Boss Xiao handed Li Junsheng a large red envelope.
"This is the final payment for the wedding banquet, it's all in the red envelope. There's also an extra token of my gratitude to Mr. Li, please remember to count it!"
"No need, I trust Mr. Xiao."
In fact, Li Junsheng could determine roughly how much was inside just by touching the thickness of the red envelope.
Why count the money in front of Boss Xiao, making it seem like he'd shortchange you!
Counting money in person can sometimes easily offend people.
With a smile on his lips, Boss Xiao glanced at Tang Liang's parents and congratulated Li Junsheng, saying, "I heard that your youngest daughter is getting married soon. I'd like to congratulate you in advance, Boss Li, on gaining another worthy son-in-law."
"Would you like to come over for a couple of drinks at the wedding?"
"Great! Mr. Li, please send me an invitation, and I'll definitely be there!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the two saw Boss Xiao off.
No sooner had she seen Boss Xiao off than Lu Ping returned from the food processing plant.
Upon seeing Li Junsheng, she handed him a long list.
"Brother Li, these are all the ingredients and equipment that the food processing plant needs to purchase. I've made a list, and now I just need you to allocate the funds!"
Li Junsheng nodded, glanced at the list, and prepared to inject funds into the food processing plant.
The current employees in the factory are on holiday. Once the goods are purchased, they will be able to return to work and receive their wages!
"Then I'll go to the bank tomorrow and transfer the money to the factory's account first. You can use this money to make purchases."
Lu Ping nodded, her eyes fixed intently on Li Junsheng as she spoke to him.
Seeing her looking at him like that, Li Junsheng felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and asked Lu Ping, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Ping nodded, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Junsheng comforted him, saying, "Tell me what's wrong, it's alright."
His gentle voice touched Lu Ping somewhat.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping pulled Li Junsheng aside and went to an empty private room.
After a moment's hesitation, Lu Ping whispered to Li Junsheng, "Could I borrow some money from you? I need to pay my mother's hospital bills and the caregiver's wages..."
Since she was asking for money, Lu Ping's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.
She couldn't even lift her head to look Li Junsheng in the eye, unable to ask him for money with such confidence!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping hurriedly added, "Just for this month, I'll pay you back next month, okay?"
Li Junsheng raised an eyebrow, saying dismissively, "What do you mean by 'borrow'? It's my responsibility to pay you your salary. Otherwise, have you been working for free all this time?"
"If you're not in a hurry, I'll go to the bank tomorrow and send you a larger amount."
Lu Ping felt a pang of sadness; no one had ever been so kind to her before.
"Tomorrow is certainly possible."
"Okay, that's settled then!"
Li Junsheng didn't mind Lu Ping asking him for money; at least she was doing it openly and honestly, instead of taking kickbacks from elsewhere.
After all, Lu Ping is now the deputy director of the food processing plant, and he needs to allocate funds to the plant tomorrow.
She could simply not ask me for money today, but instead secretly deduct it from the factory's money tomorrow!
However, the fact that Lu Ping asked him for money shows that she didn't have any bad intentions, so Li Junsheng was naturally willing to give her some money.
"Well... I'll go take care of my work now."
Lu Ping spoke softly, and Li Junsheng nodded with a smile, unaware that the woman in front of him was incredibly grateful to him.
Lu Ping took a deep breath, mustered up great courage, and quickly moved closer to Li Junsheng, offering him a kiss.
They then fled the scene as if their lives depended on it, while Li Junsheng, having been sexually assaulted, stood there stunned for a while.
He was astonished; he hadn't expected Lu Ping to be so bold.
Are all women in port cities more open-minded?
Thinking of the soft, warm touch on his lips just now, Li Junsheng's heart beat a little faster.
Li Junsheng stood in the private room for a while before pretending to be nonchalant and leaving.
The next day, Li Junsheng first went to the bank to allocate funds to the factory, and then went with Tang Liang's parents, as well as Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang, to choose furniture.
The furniture market is filled with a dazzling array of furniture styles, making it hard to choose.
Unfortunately, these are all samples and are for reference only.
