"It's over!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaoye's words, Li Xiaoli let out a wail and covered her face.
She was so focused on complaining that she forgot about this.
This is terrible, disaster is imminent!
As expected, when Zhou Xiaoye revealed the reason for the fight, Zhao Xiulian and Li Weidong's expressions immediately turned sour.
"Um... Mom, brother, please let me explain..."
Li Xiaoli chuckled awkwardly.
Before she could finish speaking, she was hit on the head with a sharp rap on each side.
"You brat, your sister-in-law stood up for you, and you still come to complain?"
"You have your sister-in-law protecting you, and you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you're also always scheming to change your sister-in-law. You're so ungrateful!"
Li Weidong and Zhao Xiulian took turns lecturing him.
Hearing the two people's protection, Zhou Xiaoye felt a warm glow in her heart and was deeply moved.
He then made a face at Li Xiaoli.
Li Xiaoli grew increasingly angry: "But she has more flaws than just this, there are others..."
"No other flaw is as serious as yours!"
Zhao Xiulian interrupted her directly: "You brat, if you dare to speak ill of your sister-in-law again, see how I deal with you!"
Li Weidong wholeheartedly agreed: "Li Xiaoli, count your own shortcomings. You're lazy, you're bad at studying, you're lazy when doing things, and now you've added the habit of tattling on others."
"Your sister-in-law always protects you, even fighting for you at school, and you turn around and complain about her. What do you call that?"
"ungrateful!"
He tapped Li Xiaoli's forehead with one finger: "As punishment, you are not allowed to read any extracurricular books during this National Day holiday. I'm confiscating them all!"
Li Xiaoli wailed, "No! I haven't read any extracurricular books for a month, brother, you can't do this!"
"This is blatant favoritism!"
Li Weidong nodded: "So what if it's favoritism? If you did a good job, would Mom and I be so biased?"
"Take today's incident for example, weren't you in the wrong?"
Li Xiaoli was speechless.
A moment later, he muttered again, "Hmph, what sister-in-law? I think she's more like an ancestor!"
Zhou Xiaoye blushed upon hearing this and immediately lunged forward to cover her mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"
I'm going to say it!
"Then you can do this homework yourself; I won't teach you."
"No, you promised you'd tutor me!"
The two started playfully fighting.
Li Weidong shook his head, then laughed.
With these two back, the house became quite lively.
That's great!
...
the next day.
When Li Weidong got up, Zhou Xiaoye had already prepared breakfast.
The noodles were freshly made, cooked in the leftover chicken broth from last night, with some bok choy added, an egg fried, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top. They smelled delicious.
"Honey, get up!"
Zhou Xiaoye came over, her eyes almost overflowing with affection: "I've squeezed the toothpaste for you, go brush your teeth first!"
Zhao Xiulian sat at the table eating noodles, already used to this scene.
After all, during that month of summer vacation, Zhou Xiaoye had become much bolder, and calling him "husband" was now second nature to her.
Li Xiaoli scoffed, "You two are all sticky and affectionate first thing in the morning. If you ask me, you should just get married and sleep in the same bed tonight!"
"Lili!"
Zhou Xiaoye blushed.
Li Weidong was also a little embarrassed.
But thinking about that scene makes me feel a little distracted.
Just then, a phone call brought him back to reality.
"I'll go pick it up."
As Li Weidong spoke, he went inside to answer the phone.
"Brother Weidong, the loan has been approved."
The call was from Ji Dahai.
He said excitedly, "The bank has approved a credit line of 100,000, but you need to come over as a guarantor and sign something."
Although Shen Xiaoyan is the legal representative of the company, Li Weidong is the most crucial figure.
"One hundred thousand..."
Li Weidong was somewhat disappointed, but then he cheered up again.
In an era when even households with 10,000 yuan are rare, 100,000 yuan is a considerable sum.
He replied, "Okay, I'll go over after I've had breakfast."
"Okay!"
Ji Dahai chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the county's Industrial and Commercial Bank."
Once the loan is approved and the money is secured, the liquor distribution business can begin.
As a shareholder, he only needed to wait to collect his money, so naturally he was happy.
Li Weidong hung up the phone and was about to brush his teeth when the phone rang again.
"Why are so many people making phone calls so early in the morning?!"
Zhou Xiaoye complained, "The noodles will all be soggy by then."
Li Xiaoli teased, "If it's too soggy, just cook another bowl. You're happy to cook for your man anyway!"
"You brat, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The two started arguing again.
Li Weidong was both amused and exasperated, and answered the phone again.
This time, it was Xing Guodong who called.
"Brother Weidong, are you free right now?"
Xing Guodong's voice was urgent and flustered: "I have something important to discuss with you. If it's convenient for you, could you come to the police station now?"
There was even a hint of pleading in his words.
Li Weidong frowned and began to search his mind.
The matter must be serious enough to make Xing Guodong, the captain of the criminal investigation team, panic like this.
Maybe some big case has happened.
He searched his mind for major events at this point in his past life, but couldn't recall any for the time being.
If you can't remember, then don't think about it.
Li Weidong said directly, "Okay, I'm going into the city later, I'll come find you then."
