Li Guifang returned to the house and saw the whole family looking at her. She waved her hand and said, "What are you still standing there for?
Go back to the room and rest quickly. You two can take Xiaoduo and Xiaohang to sleep," Li Guifang pointed at Li Mingyu and Li Mingli.
The third brother, Li Minghua, saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he pulled his wife back to the house.
After all, I have to get off work early tomorrow to accompany my wife back to her parents' home and bring the children back.
…
At night, Li Guifang couldn't help but patted Li Jianghai on the back and asked, "What are you doing? Are you making pancakes?"
After waking up his old wife, Li Jianghai couldn't hold it in any longer, "Old lady, you really don't care about the boss's affairs."
Li Guifang's heart sank when she heard this. She knew that the old man was worried about this matter.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Old man, don't you know what's going on in our family?
If I give all the money to him for graduate studies, what will happen to the other people in the family?
The money he used to make to support his university education was only paid back in the past two years. He had said it well before, but what happened in the end?
Did you eat a candy from him, or wear the clothes he bought you?"
Li Jianghai was frustrated after hearing what Li Guifang said. His brows were furrowed so much that they could crush a cockroach to death.
After a while, Li Jianghai's voice was a little low: "I know, I know what you said.
But the eldest child has been a good student since he was young. If he just gave up like this,
I'm afraid he'll feel bad. Besides, his wife is watching him."
Li Guifang sighed, her voice filled with fatigue: "Jiang Hai, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm short of money right now.
The little money we earn is not enough for our retirement.
The things my mother left behind are meant to be heirlooms, so don't even think about touching them unless you have no other choice.
The third child is still young, so I must pay more attention to him.
What's more, we have two young children who are not married yet. If we use all the money to support the eldest child's postgraduate study, will our family be unable to make ends meet?"
This happened in their previous life, but at that time, as soon as Li Mingyuan said it, the old couple agreed immediately. They scraped together 5,000 yuan for Li Mingyuan to study for a master's degree.
But Li Mingyuan was like a bottomless pit, sending letters every two months asking for money. Every time I would collect 600 or 800 yuan and send it to him.
The children below are almost blaming the old couple to death.
Even Xie Dazui said, "Your family is going to use all their strength to support the Jinshi again."
What did he say at that time? She said that if she gave up the boss, then my whole family could stay in Beijing.
For this, the whole family drained their blood to support him.
But how could Li Mingyuan repay them? The following year, Li Minghua and Li Mingyu were sending their younger sister to school in Beijing. They thought it was on their way, so they stopped by to see Li Mingyuan.
Guess what you see?
Li Mingyuan took his father-in-law and his family to Beijing to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.
My two younger brothers came over and I didn’t even ask them to eat!!!
What’s even more infuriating is that Li Mingyuan, a graduate student, was rejected two months before graduation after studying for several years.
Fortunately, I got the talent certificate from my original unit and can go back to work there. Otherwise, I would be more pitiful than a dog.
He wants to bring his younger siblings and family along with him to rise to prominence, but what the hell is he dreaming of!
Li Guifang thought about this and slapped Li Jianghai twice more. "If you make a fuss again, go back to sleep with Da Huang."
Li Jianghai was frightened by Li Guifang and was stunned. He felt wronged and was almost autistic because of the threat.
After a long silence, he was still a little conflicted: "Old lady, how about we think about it again?"
Li Guifang looked at him and felt powerless. In her previous life, she and this old man couldn't decide who was dragging whom. Each of them was more considerate of the children than the other.
"So what do you want to do? What can you do? Work as a laborer or sell blood?
Don't blame me for not reminding you, the little money we have is what I saved for my retirement. If you touch it, I will kick you out!"
Li Jianghai thought about it and then cautiously suggested, "We can go to the town and ask if there are any temporary jobs available.
I heard the town is currently building a road and they're hiring. Let's go and work for a few days, maybe we can earn some money."
Li Guifang rolled her eyes when she heard this, but it was dark and Old Man Li couldn't see. "Li Jianghai, let me tell you, can you use your broken body to your full potential?
You think you are still young? At your age, you still do such heavy work. I am too lazy to take you to see a doctor for injuries.
You still want to take me with you? I think you are too full of turnips." After saying that, he was still worried and did not forget to warn, "Don't go, do you hear me?"
Li Jianghai saw his wife's resolute attitude and knew that this matter had no hope, but he still held on and waved his hand.
"Old woman, for the sake of our children, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, I'm still in good health, so I should be able to work for a few days."
Li Guifang looked at him with disdain for a while, but finally nodded: "Okay, if you can do it, go ahead and try it if you want, don't drag other people in the family into it.
Also, you have to make it clear to the boss that you, an old man, are the only one who supports him in taking the postgraduate entrance exam, so don't think about taking advantage of him.
If he only cares about his family supporting his graduate studies, I will never forgive you."
After warning Old Man Li, Li Guifang immediately felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
After thinking about the meaning of Li Guifang's words, Li Jianghai nodded, with a hint of relief in his voice:
"Old woman, you are right. We must talk to him and ask him to understand us."
Li Guifang sighed. It was hard to persuade him with kind words. The damned devil, the pig teammates couldn't pull him out. There was a hint of helplessness in her voice: "Think it through and go to sleep."
Li Jianghai patted her hand and comforted her: "
Don't worry, old lady. I will do this beautifully. If the eldest brother is really sensible, he will understand.
Li Guifang nodded, then turned over, and soon she started snoring.
But Li Jianghai couldn't sleep, so he started his pancake business again.
But it’s late at night, and I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that this matter can come to a happy conclusion as soon as possible, that everyone can understand, and that the family can live in harmony.
…
The next day, after Li Guifang got out of bed, the house was quiet. Those who had to go to work went to work, and those who had to go to school also went to school.
After showing off his skills to the fourth brother last night, Li Mingyu had disappeared long ago. I guess he went to work.
Even my two good grandchildren, Xiaoduo and Xiaohang, are not at home. I thought they must have gone out to play.
