When Li Ying woke up in the morning, she noticed that Sang Zhi was more diligent, helping Yang Mei cook in the kitchen.
It seems that Sang Zhi's relationship with her second brother has improved!
My older brother and his family of three returned home at breakfast time.
My sister-in-law has gained some weight since she started breastfeeding, but she is still very beautiful.
Seeing Ya Ru constantly nudging Li Pei, Yang Mei asked, "Eldest daughter-in-law, is there something you want to say?"
Ya Ru felt embarrassed and glanced at Li Ying, unsure of how to begin.
Li Pei glared at Ya Ru, warning her not to speak.
Ya Ru hesitated for a moment, then the baby cried. She took the opportunity to get up and breastfeed the baby.
"Brother, just say what you have to say," Li Ying said frankly.
Li Pei put down his chopsticks and said, "You remember Ya Ru's younger brother, Tang Long? He's a good-for-nothing. Yesterday, my mother-in-law wanted me to come back and talk to you about having him learn medicine from you."
"What do you say?" Yang Mei asked, looking at her eldest son.
Li Pei is a good person in every way except that he's not good at saying no.
"What can I say? Of course I refuse. Studying medicine is no joke."
Li Pei is a very good person at times, but he will selectively refuse things that are matters of principle.
“I think my sister-in-law’s parents don’t just want her brother to study medicine with me, right?” Li Ying looked at her older brother.
If it were just about studying medicine, my brother wouldn't have refused so readily.
Li Pei guiltily looked away and nodded: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law want to bring you two together."
Yang Mei slammed down her chopsticks: "What a toad trying to eat swan meat! Doesn't he even know his own worth? He wants to marry my Yingying?"
Li Ying understood her sister-in-law's parents' thoughts. They were simply looking at her as a widow with a child, and the fact that a man like Tang Long was willing to marry her was already a great blessing.
"Mom, I'm fine. With you all protecting me like this, I'm not afraid of anything."
She never cared about these things and was deeply moved by her older brother's protectiveness.
No matter what, her family is her greatest source of strength.
"Yingying, Mom will say it again: even if you live in Shanghai with Chenchen for the rest of your life, your parents can take good care of you. Even if your parents are gone one day, you still have your older brothers. Unless that person loves you very much and is a good match for you, your parents will not agree!" Yang Mei only has one daughter. Li Ying made a mistake because of her willfulness, and she cannot let her daughter go down the wrong path again.
Li Ying nodded emphatically, having such a family was the happiest thing in her life.
Sang Zhi first took Chenchen back to the clinic, while Li Ying went to visit her senior brother's home.
Tang Shimu was very excited: "Junior Sister, I have found a shop. The person in charge of that land is the young master of the Jing family. He gave me a very low rent, but I don't think I can set the rent according to the market price just because you owe him a favor."
Tang Shimu could tell that Jing Shao intended to pursue his junior sister, but he couldn't possibly owe her a favor and put her in a difficult position before she agreed.
"Senior Brother, you are still so cautious, and still so kind to me."
Tang Shimu smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Junior Sister, I'm afraid I would have lived my whole life in a daze. Okay, enough with the sentimental talk. I promise, if I ever become rich, I will never forget Junior Sister!"
Li Ying was very pleased; her senior brother had finally moved on.
After chatting with her senior brother for a while, Li Ying returned to the clinic.
A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the clinic. Li Ying pushed through the crowd and saw a man dressed in a flamboyant manner enter the clinic. It was none other than her sister-in-law's younger brother, Tang Long.
"I told you, I don't know where Yingying went. If you want to find her, go find her!" Sang Zhi replied irritably.
"Is she avoiding me? Or is my sincerity not enough? Let me tell you, she should be grateful that I, Tang Long, have come here to ask her for her hand in marriage!" Tang Long is the only son in his family and has been arrogant since childhood.
"Grateful?" Li Ying walked into the clinic.
Tang Long turned around and looked at Li Ying. He hadn't paid close attention before, but he didn't expect this woman who had given birth to be so pretty and feminine.
"Li Ying, you're back?" Tang Long immediately put on a smile and stepped forward eagerly.
Li Ying took a step back, stood still, and stared coldly at Tang Long: "What did you just say?"
Tang Long rubbed his nose and chuckled, "I'm not good with words, but my feelings are genuine. I heard from my sister-in-law that you are a strong and capable woman. Although you've been married and had children, our whole family thinks it's not a big problem and is acceptable."
Li Ying smiled calmly: "I'm not a display item in a cupboard; no one can set my value! Yes, I've been married and had children, but that doesn't prevent me from having the right to choose my partner. And you don't meet the criteria!"
What?
Tang Long, feeling embarrassed, became somewhat anxious: "Li Ying, I am unmarried."
"Yes, being unmarried is an advantage, but not a prerequisite. Since you're unmarried, you can go and choose more unmarried girls; you don't need to bother me here!" Li Ying said coldly.
This made Tang Long lose face; he was actually rejected by a woman who had been married and had children!
"Li Ying, I only came to see you because of my sister, don't be ungrateful!"
Li Ying walked to the medicine tools and gripped a pair of scissors tightly. If Tang Long dared to say another unpleasant word, she would make him remember today's lesson.
Before Li Ying could make a move, someone strode into the hall and grabbed Tang Long by the collar. "Come on, let's go outside and fight one-on-one!"
Tang Long, enraged, tried to break free from Gang's grip: "Who are you?"
"I am Jing Chi, the young master of the Jing family!"
Jing Chi's tone was cold, carrying an inherently powerful aura.
Knowing he couldn't afford to offend her, Tang Long broke free from Jing Chi and pointed at Li Ying, saying, "You wouldn't happen to be thinking of pursuing her too, would you?"
Jing Chi turned to look at Li Ying, meeting her icy gaze. He cleared his throat and said, "You're right, I do have feelings for Li Ying, but I would never do what you're doing, coming here to cause trouble before she's even agreed. This isn't pursuing her, this is ruining the occasion!"
Tang Long knew he was in the wrong. He had been arrogant and thought that since he was unmarried, he could marry a woman who had been married and had children, and she would be extremely grateful. He never expected that there would be a competitor, and that competitor was none other than the young master of the Jing family.
Although he was unwilling to accept it, Tang Long still backed down in the face of wealth, snorted, and slunk away.
Sang Zhi had already dispersed the crowd watching the commotion at the entrance of the clinic.
Only those who actually seek medical treatment remain in the clinic.
Jing Chi glanced at Li Ying cautiously and gave an awkward smile: "Don't feel guilty! I was just trying to help you out. Don't worry, I won't come over and force you to agree to anything like he did. I'm not that kind of person."
Sang Zhi couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, this young master of the Jing family is quite adorable, completely different from the cold and aloof Ye Jingchi.
