Chapter 16: How many are there? Just broad shoulders



She is still so impatient. I told her to worry less about her parents' affairs, but she just wouldn't listen.

The way she is now, next time she goes out with me, people will think we are sisters!

"Big brother forced me to do this!" Li Mingli threw off her gloves with a "snap", splashing a lot of water.

"He insisted that the whole family pool 5,000 yuan to support his graduate studies. If they didn't split up, we'd have to sell the house!"

"We can't divide the family just for this little thing, right? My eldest brother is the eldest son, so he deserves more.

In the future, our parents will live with our eldest brother's family in their old age, but now our family has separated our eldest brother from us. Isn't this a joke to people?

If her sister-in-law Lin Yaqin hadn't come to the factory to talk to her about this at noon today, she still wouldn't have known that such a big joke had happened at home!

"Oh, our comrade Li Mingjuan is really conscious." Li Mingyu suddenly interrupted in a sarcastic tone, fiddling with the slingshot he got from Li Anyuan.

"You were originally going to pay for this? Even if your family doesn't eat or drink, your brother-in-law's salary and yours combined can still afford it."

"You!" Li Mingjuan's face flushed red. "How can you say that? He's our eldest brother. Besides, what's wrong with helping each other?"

"Okay, you and he help each other. When your family is in trouble, does he give money or help with labor?"

Two years ago, my brother-in-law Liu Wei was injured and hospitalized. Li Mingyuan and his wife only came to the hospital to visit him when he was about to be discharged.

Although my brother-in-law didn't say it explicitly, his mother didn't gossip about him behind his back!

When it comes to being busy with work, even the committee members have time to go off work, let alone these two deputy directors and teachers!

It’s not that I don’t have time, it’s just that I don’t have the heart. I don’t know why my second sister doesn’t understand!

"We can't split up the family!" Li Mingjuan's voice was already filled with tears. "If we split up, this family will fall apart."

Li Mingyu watched his second sister get stuck in a rut and only recited the southern music line, "The Leshan Giant Buddha should be you."

I was too lazy to say anything else. I gave my mother a helpless look and told everyone to go back to the house.

When only Li Guifang, Li Jianghai and Li Mingjuan were left in the main hall, Li Guifang finally spoke.

"Li Mingjuan, didn't I tell you to worry less about family matters?"

"mom!"

Li Mingjuan suddenly rushed to Li Guifang's side and said, "But our family is a harmonious one among the neighbors! Last year, the director of the street office even praised our family."

"Can you eat someone's compliments or wear them as clothing?" Li Guifang sneered, then asked, "Can't you tell the difference between polite words and polite words?"

Without waiting for her answer, he asked again: "Do you know why your dowry is so small? The watch your father prepared for you, Li Mingyuan gave it to the head of his department, and he became a clerk;

Do you know how your third brother ended up being a temporary worker? Your dad begged and pleaded for a permanent position, and he used it to pay a tribute to the director. That year, he became deputy director!

"Mom!" Li Mingjuan's voice was already choking. "This is not true. You are lying to me, aren't you?"

"Are you still dreaming?" Li Guifang patted the eight-immortal table with a "pa" sound.

"How long are you going to keep deceiving yourself? Not everyone has a conscience, and not everyone is trustworthy. Even if Li Mingyuan is promising, he won't help you in the slightest!"

"Li Mingjuan," the old lady stroked her daughter's hand, her voice suddenly softening, "You thought he could help Liu Wei in his career, but you forgot that Li Mingyuan has always looked down on the police!"

The class system in Li Mingyuan's mind is a gap that is difficult to cross.

Everyone is equal above me, and there is a strict hierarchy below me!

Li Mingjuan was moved to tears by what Li Guifang said.

She could never forget that when she was first told that she would give a watch as a dowry, her in-laws increased the betrothal gift by three times. However, on the second day after the wedding, her sister-in-law wanted to see the watch, but she was embarrassed because she couldn't produce it!

It's just that she is used to being confused and it's hard to change for the time being!

Compared with the past, she still felt that what her sister-in-law said today made sense.

"But, Mom..." Li Guifang interrupted Li Mingjuan before she finished her words, "Go back and tell Liu Wei what you heard today.

Tell me what I said to you today and ask his opinion. If he thinks you are right, come to me again this weekend and I will go and apologize to your eldest brother with you!" After saying that, she sent Li Mingjuan home.

Li Mingjuan's mind was a mess and she rode back in a daze.

Sure enough, Li Mingjuan didn't show up for a week.
