What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Ma Yulian was unaware that rumors about her were spreading rapidly. When she arrived at her parents' home, she was immediately warmly welcomed by her younger brother, Ma Weidong.
"Sis, what brings you here today? Did you tell your husband about that thing I asked you before?"
Ma Weidong kindly brought a stool for Ma Yulian to sit on. Ma Weidong had a friend who owned a waste recycling plant.
The other party is rich. Ma Weidong was bragging to them a while ago that his brother-in-law was a worker in a machinery factory.
The other party had their eyes on some of the scrap materials from the machinery factory and wanted to use Ma Weidong to open a channel specifically for collecting the scrap materials from the machinery factory!
Even scrap materials from machine shops are made of iron and copper, which are much more valuable than ordinary scrap.
Thinking there was profit to be made and that they could take advantage of the situation, the other party asked Ma Weidong to handle the matter and promised him benefits after it was done!
Ma Weidong had mentioned it to Ma Yulian a few days ago, but at the time Ma Yulian was planning to help Chen Dazhu scheme against Li Junsheng for a job, so she didn't have time to think about it.
Since her younger brother brought it up, Ma Yulian rolled her eyes and decided to go along with it.
“Li Junsheng is just an ordinary employee in the factory. He has to discuss this matter with the leaders above him. But if you want the leaders to approve something, you have to show some sincerity.”
"I came here to ask you for some money to take back with me, specifically to handle this matter!"
Ma Weidong nodded. He was over forty years old, and he still understood these basic social skills.
In addition, he felt that his sister would definitely not betray him!
"Sister, how much do you think this will cost?"
Ma Yulian thought for a moment and said to Ma Weidong, "Give me three hundred yuan first. Whether this matter can be resolved is another matter, but if it is resolved, the benefits you will receive will be more than this. Let's give it a try!"
Ma Weidong never expected that it would cost so much—three hundred yuan—to get something done, with no guarantee that it would even be successful.
Ma Weidong fell silent for a moment!
Ma Yulian felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that Ma Weidong wouldn't be willing to give her the three hundred yuan.
She only asked for three hundred, which is already very little.
Ma Yulian was mentally prepared to be rejected by her younger brother, but to her surprise, Ma Weidong was very kind and agreed to give her the three hundred yuan.
"Okay, three hundred yuan it is. But sis, you have to help me sound out your husband. If this is really difficult, then don't spend the money."
Ma Yulian outwardly nodded in agreement, but inwardly she secretly sneered at her brother's foolishness.
They actually asked Li Junsheng, that good-for-nothing, to do something. What kind of work could he possibly accomplish?
If you're really that capable, you've already found a good job for the boss!
Little did Ma Yulian know that her brother treated her so well only because Li Junsheng was an employee of a large factory.
Ma Yulian not only benefited from the situation but also failed to understand the implications. To scheme to give Li Junsheng's job to an outsider was utterly foolish!
"Then I'll bring you the money."
Ma Weidong gave Ma Yulian three hundred yuan.
Looking at the three hundred, Ma Yulian felt a pang of heartache and had no intention of sharing the money with her children.
However, since things have escalated to this point, she has no choice but to resolve the issue of dividing the family property tonight, otherwise she won't be able to go home!
She had to go back to see what Li Junsheng was up to.
At this moment, Li Junsheng was at home, personally cooking and preparing a sumptuous family feast.
Wang Xiuhua was helping out in the kitchen, and she was still unhappy that Li Junsheng had spent so much money today, buying so much meat!
Li Guojun paced back and forth in the living room, preoccupied with how much money Ma Yulian could bring back.
Bang bang bang!
Someone knocked on the door, and Li Guojun rushed over to open it. To his surprise, the person standing outside was not his mother, who was carrying a large sum of money.
Instead, it was Li Guohua and Ji Xiaocui who came carrying some things, with Ji Xiaocui holding Xiaowei in her arms!
"Big brother, where's Dad?"
The second brother spoke coldly to Li Guojun.
Li Guojun thought his father was in the kitchen, but in his heart he was complaining that his second son's family was always trying to take advantage of him. They even brought their son over to eat, as if they were afraid of missing out on a single bite!
The second son and his wife came in and went to the kitchen to greet Li Junsheng.
Ji Xiaocui rolled up her sleeves, wanting to help her father-in-law, but Li Junsheng had already almost finished preparing the meal.
It's almost ready to be served on the table!
At this moment, the third child, Li Chunya, carrying a large belly of eight or nine months, entered the house empty-handed.
Upon seeing Li Junsheng, Li Chunya greeted him with a distant and indifferent expression.
"dad."
"Hey, Chun Ya, come and sit down, Sun Gui is here!"
Li Junsheng stared at his eldest son-in-law, Sun Gui, with a tense expression, clearly not welcoming him.
Sun Gui and his mother are not good people. They favor sons over daughters. In her previous life, Chun Ya gave birth to three girls in a row. In the end, she was driven to despair by the mother and son!
The third daughter isn't very kind to me now, because I was injured due to improper operation at the factory.
She came back to visit, bringing some eggs and two pounds of meat. When she got back, Sun Gui beat her. Not only did her mother-in-law not stop her, she also helped Sun Gui beat Li Chunya!
Li Junsheng only remembered that when his daughter came home upset, she needed someone to support her. Ma Yulian scolded her third daughter for not being smart enough and for deserving to be beaten. She also complained that she hadn't brought any nice things.
Ma Yulian refused to let Li Junsheng stand up for her daughter, but Li Junsheng really didn't care at the time. So after this incident, the third daughter became much more distant from him.
At that moment, Sun Gui said to Li Junsheng, "Look at what you're saying, can't I come? Chun Ya's belly is so big, I have to take care of her."
Li Junsheng snorted coldly, not believing Sun Gui's nonsense.
He was clearly following his mother's orders to come and keep an eye on Chun Ya, to see if she would send things to her parents' home again!
Li Junsheng knew that if his daughter dared to send things back to her parents' home, she would definitely get a beating when she returned.
Sun Gui and his mother completely disregarded the fact that Chun Ya was pregnant with their Sun family's child!
Sun Gui was nonchalant; he claimed to be taking care of Chun Ya, but as soon as he came in, he plopped down on the sofa.
He picked up the empty water glass on the table and handed it to Li Chunya.
"Get me some water, remember to add some tea leaves, I don't like plain water."
"Um."
Li Chunya looked numb and resignedly went to make tea.
She came back with her big pregnant belly, brewing tea. Sun Gui only took one sip before spitting it all out.
In front of Li Junsheng, Sun Gui criticized and found fault with Li Chunya.
"How can you not even brew a proper cup of tea? You've put in so many tea leaves, it's too bitter. Go brew me a fresh cup!"
The eldest brother pretended not to see anything, while the second brother, Li Guohua, looked annoyed and wanted to stand up for his sister. However, before Li Guohua could speak up for his sister, Li Junsheng stepped forward first.
In this life, he would never let his daughter despair of life, and he resolutely faced death with his three granddaughters!
Li Junsheng snatched the teacup from Sun Gui's hand and poured the entire cup of tea onto the ground.
Sun Gui's breath hitched; he never expected his usually timid father-in-law to do something like this.
"Sun Gui, I think you're the useless one. You're perfectly capable, yet you make Chun Ya serve you while she's heavily pregnant? Do you really think no one will stand up for Chun Ya?"
