321 Self-inflicted Misdeeds
Li Wei had a few days off for the New Year, and then she had to take exams when she came back. This didn't bother her much, as she didn't have many subjects to study anyway.
After the exams, the school gave out holiday arrangements, but these had little to do with Li Wei. Thinking about it, staying at the school was out of the question; she had neither the connections nor the inclination.
Taking the postgraduate entrance exam is something I can consider, but I'll have to wait until Da Luo's job is more stable before making a decision.
As for his job, it seems to depend on where Da Luo will go in the future. It's estimated that he'll settle things within the next six months, and he most likely won't stay in the provincial capital. Li Wei heard from Da Luo that he seems to be going to work in a city in the lower part of the province.
Li Wei felt that it would be best to go home, where she would know the people and life would be more convenient. Her job would also be easier to arrange, and returning to the university in the city shouldn't be a problem.
There is still a shortage of foreign language talents who have graduated from regular universities. If she were to go to the foreign trade department, there would obviously be no problem, but Li Wei is unwilling to travel for work.
My child is young and doesn't want to leave home. If I go to school, I'll have more holidays and won't have to work regular hours. It should be relatively easy to take care of my child, family, and business.
For Li Wei now, she wouldn't trade her children and family for the rest of the world; they are her top priority.
In the northern winter, the land was already covered in ice and snow. Li Wei sat in her warm and cozy home, watching her three children run and jump in the living room. Outside, the north wind howled. Sipping hot tea, she wondered how Da Luo was doing and whether he would come back before the New Year.
Unfortunately, the peaceful time didn't last long. The phone rang, and it was Wei Yan calling, crying and begging for help from Li Wei again. Li Wei was thoroughly fed up with her voice.
The story of Luo Er and Wei Yan is quite dramatic. In October, Wei Yan herself revealed that she was pregnant.
Although Luo Er was somewhat annoyed with Wei Yan, it hadn't reached the point of a complete break. After all, they had shared many years of feelings; even if there wasn't much romantic love, there was still a sense of kinship.
Especially according to Luo Er's later, gritting-teeth explanation, Wei Yan was still considering whether or not to have a child. Therefore, she hadn't mentioned it to Luo Er.
What Luo Er didn't say was that Wei Yan had always been critical of Li Wei for having a child out of wedlock. She had often spoken ill of her in front of Zhao Chunyan. Therefore, she was determined not to contradict herself.
It wasn't until Luo Er wanted to sever all ties with her that she revealed the truth. Clearly, she suddenly started using the child as a shield.
She knew very well that Luo Er actually longed to be like his brother, with a child, a wife, and a family life. The Luo family would never complain about having too many grandchildren.
Therefore, a mother's status rises with her son's. Believe you've overcome this hurdle. Work on your relationship with Luo Erxiu, and the storm will naturally pass.
She had a good plan, and Luo Er wasn't stupid either. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what was going on. He was extremely angry, but he was afraid to act against her, and he really couldn't do anything to Wei Yan.
Of the three Luo brothers, Li Wei later observed that the eldest, Luo, was the most ruthless and heartless, possessing a cunning and ruthless nature. The second brother, Luo, was the most soft-hearted and considerate, seemingly lacking ambition, but actually a good choice for a stable life.
As for Luo San, he's basically a little fox, but he has a good heart.
So Wei Yan had hit Luo Er's sore spot, and the matter could only be left unresolved.
Later, Zhao Chunyan and Lao Luo took charge and got the marriage certificate done. As for the wedding banquet, it is said that it will be decided when Da Luo returns.
Zhao Chunyan was acceptable, but Lao Luo was completely unwilling. He didn't like Wei Yan as his daughter-in-law at all. But since his son had agreed, he had nothing to say. After all, in the end, it was up to the child to agree.
As usual, Zhao Chunyan gave Wei Yan a lot of red envelopes, and Wei Yan received a small amount.
If she could live a quiet and law-abiding life, there wouldn't be any major problems. Luo Er was busy with work every day and didn't have time to argue with her too much.
But this restless young man wasn't content to stay at home either. First, he complained about the small size of their house, which wasn't a big deal—Zhao Chunyan and Lao Luo genuinely felt their second son shouldn't be too much less capable than their eldest. However, Lao Luo retorted, "Compare? What makes you think you can compare? Is it your son's ability? Xiao Ming lives in a villa, or even a high-rise building in the city center. Let Wei Yan buy one herself if she's so capable. It's not that we're biased; it's just that Xiao Ming has the ability. She's shameless! Asking me to buy her a villa? I can't bear the embarrassment!"
Old Luo was genuinely angry and ignored it. However, Zhao Chunyan still had some affection for Wei Yan, and secretly took her savings to buy Luo Er and his wife a larger house to live in.
Clearly, after staying for a few days, Wei Yan still felt that the gap between her and Li Wei was too big. She really didn't believe that her sister-in-law hadn't benefited from her father-in-law's influence and that she had earned everything herself. Humph, she didn't believe it!
So she would call Zhao Chunyan every now and then to complain, which eventually annoyed Zhao Chunyan, who then told her to talk to Li Wei: "Your sister-in-law has a lot of money. You can talk to her and she can just give you a little bit, which will be enough for you to do this and that."
Zhao Chunyan's words were somewhat sarcastic and defiant, but she never expected that Wei Yan was so annoyed by staying at home that she actually went to Li Wei and said that she wanted to buy a house in Li Wei's neighborhood and asked if Li Wei could talk to her about getting a discount and help her pay for the house.
Li Wei almost sneered, and said right then and there, "Fine, you call Xiao Er and tell him that if he thinks your three-bedroom, one-living-room, 100-square-meter house is too small for him, I'll tell him that there's a dormitory building in the company where he can choose a bigger room."
Since the incident with Da Luo last time, Wei Yan hasn't dared to throw a tantrum with Li Wei. She also vaguely knows that in the future, Li Wei and her husband might be in charge of the Luo family. At present, apart from her mother-in-law secretly giving her some money, she really doesn't have any income.
Therefore, she didn't dare to offend Li Wei. As for Luo Er, she had to be careful to serve him at home, as Luo Er had never given her a kind look.
Life went on uneventfully until one day, Wei Yan, having nothing better to do, started keeping an eye on Luo Er and suspected that he might be having an affair with a female colleague.
As a result, she accidentally slipped in the freezing cold, which not only exposed her to Luo Er, but also caused her to miscarry. She was rushed to the hospital, but the baby was lost.
From then on, their relationship reached a freezing point.
Now, Wei Yan is calling Li Wei again, crying and complaining that Luo Er is ignoring her, doesn't like to come home, and is always drinking, etc.
The blisters on your feet are from your own walking; this person never reflects on their own actions and always blames others.
Because Li Wei had completely given up on her, and even a fool would get tired of someone who only schemes against others, Li Wei listened to the conversation while continuing to keep an eye on the children's movements, making sure they didn't touch or play with anything dangerous. She was basically distracted.
Only when Wei Yan got tired of talking did she say a few perfunctory words and hang up, no one knows who she went to bother next.
It is said that her own parents were also somewhat annoyed and had argued with Lao Luo and his wife several times, but were subdued by the fierce Zhao Chunyan.
From then on, Wei Yan completely lost her only support and the support of the people.
