Li Yuhe must understand the principle of teaching a man to fish.
She initially chose working over farming. Initially, she was very happy. She earned twice as much as before, and her work provided her with complete freedom. If she could continue like this, it would be great.
It was not until she returned home and saw that her third sister Li Yujie's family had built a small Western-style house, and that her third brother-in-law Qin Zichengdu, whom she looked down upon, was dressed well, that she felt unbalanced.
Why can my third sister's family become successful thanks to my younger brother, while I can only get a fixed salary in the factory?
Is there anything about me that makes me inferior to my third sister?
This unwillingness intensified after she met her true love.
Ever since her third sister spent the New Year with her third brother-in-law, Li Yuhe vowed to find someone ten times better than her third brother-in-law.
She kept picking and choosing, but she was still not satisfied. That is until she met a nouveau riche named Zhou Jie, who changed her mind.
Zhou Jie took her to eat and drink delicious food, and won Li Yuhe over with a series of sweet words.
After they fell in love, Zhou Jie consciously or unconsciously inquired about Li Yuhe's family situation, and Li Yuhe also told him about her family situation without reservation.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Zhou Jie always spoke to Li Yuhe's heart. She became more and more dissatisfied with the Li family. When she learned that other people were living better than her, she felt more and more unbalanced.
After a few drinks, Li Yuhe poured out all the bitterness in his heart.
"Eldest sister and the others are all paid for their work on my farm. Seventh sister, please show your pay slip to Fourth sister and see if I have ever shown favoritism to any of you."
Li Yuhe's face flushed as she faced Xu Jing's accusations, and she felt completely helpless. She completely collapsed when her seventh sister read out that string of numbers.
"That's enough, little brother, it's fine if you don't treat me as your sister, but why did you unite the whole family to exclude me?"
Li Yurong laughed in anger. "Fourth sister, what are you talking about? If you didn't rely on me, who would you rely on? Only when I'm well, will we all be well. Don't you understand this?"
"No. Why does my third sister's family get so much money?"
Xu Jing explained, "My third brother-in-law helps me deliver goods, and I pay him every time he delivers them. Fourth sister, don't you know how difficult mountain roads are? Driving is risky. If the goods are damaged, my third brother-in-law has to pay for half of the loss. Why didn't you say that my third sister's family took more when you were paying me?"
"What about my second sister?" Li Yuhe glared. "My second sister manages twenty people every day and doesn't have to do anything. Why does she only get a salary of 800? And why does she get an extra month's pay at the end of the year?"
Even Seventh Sister couldn't stand it any longer. "Fourth Sister, are you so focused on us getting paid that you don't see how hard we work? Do you think managing twenty people is easy? Those who cheat, act sloppily, or work carelessly have to rely on Second Sister to supervise them. Every month, Second Sister handles attendance statistics and personnel leave requests. Even negotiating partnerships with the boss relies on Second Sister. Do you still think Second Sister makes over 800 yuan a month?"
These words left Li Yuhe speechless.
She shook her head, and after sobering up, she said, "Even if you worked, my fifth and sixth sisters and I worked too. Why didn't the family share the money we earned?"
Xu Jing didn't explain anything to Li Yuhe. No matter what he explained, he wouldn't listen. She was already stuck in a vicious circle. He turned his head and looked at the other two sisters. "Fifth sister, how is your snack stand doing?"
"That's great." The fifth sister smiled contentedly. "Thanks to you, I was able to learn the skills from the pancake vendor. Now I can make a living. It's much easier now than before. I plan to rent a shop to sell pancakes once I make enough money."
"Sixth sister, I heard you're going to open a barber shop with someone. What's his character like? Can you trust him?"
Sixth Sister smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's my elementary school classmate and best friend, I can definitely trust her. It's just that her business isn't big, not as big as yours."
"The size of the business doesn't matter, as long as you have the will." Xu Jing thought of something and said, "By the way, if you lack experience, you can come with me to the provincial capital to study for a while. It won't be too late to start a business once your skills are mature. Running a hair salon is very hard work, so Sixth Sister should take care of her health when she gets there."
"Don't worry, I can handle it. But you, what university are you planning to apply to?"
Xu Jing had already made preparations. "Agricultural University. I plan to expand the farm and provide more jobs. Xiaoguang County is still too poor. I need to explore the world before returning to develop my hometown."
Although other people had been a little disdainful of his wild ideas before, after a year of settling in, the whole family believed that he could do it.
They are poor in vision. If there is a better development platform, they will send him away even if they are reluctant.
"Work hard, I believe you will succeed."
"Li Heng, have you forgotten me?" Li Yuhe asked, "Why did you ask my whole family but not me? Do you look down on me?"
Qin Chuan had seen enough of the family's farce and couldn't help but say, "Even a farmer like me understands this principle. Why don't you understand it? You have to do what you are good at to make money. Why do you blame others for not creating favorable conditions for you? You chose your own path, and no one forced you to walk it."
"Shut up, you have no right to say that. You're just a fool, and you get half the money without doing anything. Why?"
If only 10% of the money could be given to her, she could marry Jay Chou with honor and not be criticized for being vain by others.
Li Yujie looked at the others and said, "You talk like you're so great, but don't you care about the money from the farm? We watched him grow up, and now that he's successful, can't he give us a share of the profits?"
Li Yurong looked at him coldly. "You mean you want to get something for nothing?"
"Second sister, please don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by getting something for nothing? Didn't we watch my younger brother grow up because he is where he is today? My eldest sister got divorced because of him, and you are still being criticized by your husband's family. And my third sister had no choice but to marry Qin Zicheng, a poor guy. It's all because of him that we have such a hard time."
Li Yujie pointed at his nose and cursed, "You've sucked the blood of your entire family to get to where you are today, and now that you're rich, you want to take all the credit. Aren't you too heartless?"
"So according to Fourth Sister, I should give all the farm shares to you, right?"
"Isn't it?" Li Yuhe said confidently: "You are a jinx to my mother. If she hadn't watched over us and raised us, you... bang!"
Li Yurong slapped Li Yuhe in the face, knocking him unconscious.
Li Yuhe covered half of her face, unable to believe that her second sister, who was always kind to others, would hit her. She was speechless for a moment.
"Li Yuhe, I think you are crazy about money. Is that something you can touch?"
