As soon as Li Mingyu entered the room, he rushed into the kitchen like a dog being chased. The dented aluminum lunch box in his hand clanged and clattered.
"Oh my god! This is terrible!" He grabbed Li Guifang who was kneading dough.
The sweat on my hands rubbed against my mother's sleeves. "Mom, guess what new things I heard in the kitchen today?"
Li Guifang was so angry that she slammed the dough into the basin, raising a cloud of dust: "You're courting death! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Li Mingyu ignored Li Guifang's anger, glanced around like a thief, and lowered his voice: "Mom, do you know,
I heard today that Fatty Wang, the guy with the sullen face in the cafeteria, spent this much money on a pot of Clivia!" He held up four greasy fingers.
"How much? Four hundred?" Li Guifang was also surprised by the number. She knew that the price of Clivia would skyrocket recently, but she didn't expect it to increase so fast!
The salary increased by 100 yuan in just four days. Now the average worker’s salary is only 50 yuan, which is two months’ salary increased in one go!
Even though I knew in my previous life that Clivia made huge profits, I was even more shocked when I experienced it myself!
"That's nothing!" Li Mingyu wiped his sweat, spit flying, "Erxi's father is even more outrageous, five hundred! And he even gave away two big front doors!
I bought a pot of a variety called "Big Victory" and went to find someone to do the job. As soon as I sold this flower, the job was done!
Isn’t that amazing? Otherwise, how could Erxi be a regular employee? All of us kitchen helpers are temporary workers.
Just from her father's move, we can tell whether or not..." Li Mingyu was still muttering sourly.
Li Guifang couldn't listen anymore and directly took up her hand and pushed Li Mingyu out, "If you are so envious, why don't you go and be Erxi's father's son!"
Li Mingyu shamelessly sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. Li Mingyu was still restless and approached Li Guifang: "Mom, when are we going to sell our flower?"
Li Guifang didn't even raise her eyelids as she continued to shape the dough into balls and throw them into the pan. "Why rush? I'll sell them when I have time."
"Mom, don't put it off any longer. If you don't have time, I can help you sell it!
The flowers are in full bloom now. If they wilt in two days, they'll be worthless!" Li Mingyu mused.
Li Guifang paused and glared at him sideways: "You're really attentive today!"
"This is all our family's money!" Li Mingyu said with a forced smile, "As a son, how can I not worry about it?"
"Bullshit!" Li Guifang threw the spoon into the pot with a "smack". "This is my money. It has nothing to do with the family's money! Stop thinking of bad things!"
Li Mingyu shrank his neck, then leaned forward with a smug look on his face: "Mom, look at how torn my shoes are..."
He lifted his foot, revealing his tattered cloth shoes. "I heard the department store just got a new batch of leather shoes, only thirty yuan a pair..."
Li Guifang was waiting for this, so she swung her arm and slapped him hard: "You ungrateful bastard! How dare you covet my money!"
"Pa pa pa!" The sound of several big slaps made Li Mingyu spin around on the spot.
In her previous life, this flower was sold by Li Mingyu, and in the end she didn't even see a word!
Now this beast is going around in circles, and he still has his eyes on this flower! If I don’t beat him up, he won’t know who is the mother!
"Mom! I just..."
"Pa!" Another slap. "I told you to worry about me! You even arranged for my money, you black-hearted bastard!"
As he said that, he swung up the "big palm-leaf fan" and prepared to go down!
Li Mingyu took off running, covering his face as he scurried into the house. Li Guifang picked up a broom and chased him: "You little bastard, I'm going to break your legs!"
"Mom! I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!" Li Mingyu ran away with his head in his hands, rushed into the house, and bolted the door with a bang.
Li Guifang was outside banging the door with a broom, making it deafening: "If you have the guts, don't come out again for the rest of your life!
I'll starve you to death, you heartless thing!"
In the room, Li Mingyu covered his burning face with his hands, wanting to cry but unable to.
Outside the courtyard wall, several neighbors who were watching the fun covered their mouths and laughed. The Li family was beating their children more and more frequently!
That night, Li Guifang took advantage of the moonlight and worked swiftly.
She deftly dug up two Clivia orchids that were in full bloom, and stuffed the entire clump of soil with the flowers directly into the newly bought plastic flowerpot.
The plastic basin was bright red, with four golden characters "花开花财富" printed on it, which dazzled the eyes in the moonlight.
She spat into her palm, picked up a few small wild flowers nearby, threw them on the ground and stepped on them twice.
A while ago, she used these small wild flowers to cover up the Clivia. Now everyone knows that Clivia is valuable, so what's wrong with her only raising Clivia!
In the blink of an eye, only two Clivia buds were left in the small garden, standing there alone.
Under the moonlight, the thick leaves look shiny and the flower buds are as big as steamed buns, which is very eye-catching.
Li Guifang squinted her eyes as she looked at her masterpiece, feeling quite proud: "Look, look, I can see it all clearly!"
She deliberately placed the flowers in the most conspicuous place, so that the little brats at home could see them every day. They couldn't ignore them even if they wanted to, and they were so greedy!
She wanted to see if there was anyone else who was so foolish as to dare to take advantage of this flower. She would give him a good beating and then throw him out!
She remembered clearly that in her previous life, it was because the fourth brother acted quickly that the money was safely in his pocket!
The other few people might have had the same idea as well, but at that time, it’s hard to say whether others noticed that there was a Clivia in their home!
