Chapter 308 What if the bet is right?
Qin Xiaomin turned over and looked at her brother: "Xiao Jie, you know what? I really love him. I am willing to do anything for him! I have thought about what you said. Even if I don't live well in the future, I will not regret the decision I made today. What's more, I have to try it to know whether I regret it or not. What if I bet right?"
Qin Xiaojie opened his eyes and stood up after a long time: "You are like a fool now, your mind is full of him! Forget it, I'm going to sleep in my room!"
He stood up and walked out, saying, "Don't even think about running away. Be good and obedient these few days. I'll tell my parents."
"Thank you, Xiaojie!" Qin Xiaomin whispered.
Qin Xiaojie paused for a moment, then strode away.
The door of the room was closed, and Qin Xiaojie let out a long sigh.
His sister's love brain is really terrible.
What is the charm of that man that can make her so devoted to him?
…
After leaving Qin's house, Li Xu took them to the bank.
All the money in the other three passbooks was deposited into Li Yong's passbook.
Li Zhiming asked the bank staff for a pen and paper, "Write it. Write IOUs for your brother and sister, but forget about your mother and me."
Li Yong nodded and started writing.
Li Lei stopped him and said, "Dad, you don't have to write. We are all brothers. It doesn't matter if you pay it back or not."
Li Zhiming said, "No, you have to write it! Take it back and give it to Xiaoning for safekeeping!"
Li Yong lowered his head and started writing.
"Also, tell Xiaoning that right now your mother and I will use the money for Li Yong first. But your mother and I know that we will give you the same amount of money we gave to Li Yong in the future. We won't let you suffer any loss."
Li Lei said awkwardly: "Why are you saying this now? You can give the money to whoever you want, we have no objection!"
Li Zhiming didn't say anything, but lowered his head and stared at Li Yong writing.
Li Yong made two copies of each IOU.
He gave one copy to Li Xu and Li Lei, and kept one for himself.
He said solemnly: "Sister, brother, I know you are good to me, I promise to pay you back as soon as possible."
Li Xu and Li Lei looked at each other and said nothing.
After coming out of the bank, Li Yong and his friends were about to go home.
Li Xu was a little worried and asked Li Yong: "Are you really not going to the hospital?"
The two punches Qin Xiaomin's brother threw just now seemed quite heavy.
Li Yong shook his head: "No, it's nothing."
Li Xu didn't say anything. Li Lei drove the car and dropped Li Xu off at the gate of the community before leaving.
Li Xu didn't go home, but went directly to the store.
After all this trouble, it was already past 8:30. Several old ladies were sitting under the parasol outside the store, chatting.
Seeing Li Xu coming, several people stood up.
"Xiao Li, why are you so late today? We have been waiting for more than an hour."
"Yes, many people came over, saw that the door was not open and left. You suffered a great loss today."
…
These old ladies come to buy vegetables almost every day. When they have nothing to do, they stay in the store for a while and help Li Xu pick vegetables.
Li Xu is very familiar with them.
While opening the door, he exchanged a few words with the old ladies.
On the other side, Li Lei returned home and handed the IOU to Meng Xiaoning.
Now Meng Xiaoning lives in the village and concentrates on taking care of the children at home.
Seeing the IOU, Meng Xiaoning said nothing, but just stuffed the IOU into the cabinet next to him.
"How did things go?" Meng Xiaoning asked while patting her daughter.
Li Lei was afraid that Meng Xiaoning would think too much, so he did not mention a word about what Li Zhiming said at the Qin family.
He only said: "I was beaten up, I said everything I should say, I apologized as much as I should, I don't know what the Qin family thinks!"
Meng Xiaoning didn't suspect anything, but he didn't feel too upset.
From her point of view, she naturally doesn't want Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong to be together.
After all, Qin Xiaomin has such a good family background.
If they really became sisters-in-law, they would inevitably be compared.
The parents-in-law will probably subconsciously favor Qin Xiaomin.
Even if the parents-in-law can treat them equally, those gossiping neighbors and distant relatives will still compare the two of them.
Of course, she has no decision-making power in this matter.
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin already have a child, so they will probably be together.
Of course, becoming sisters-in-law does not only have disadvantages, there are also advantages.
Qin Xiaomin's family is wealthy, so she must not be the kind of person who would haggle over small details.
I will never have conflicts with her over money again.
In how many families with two brothers do conflicts arise between the sisters-in-law over money?
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoning let out a long sigh.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend and Li Yong came over early in the morning.
When he knocked on the door, Li Xu and Zhang Kun had not yet gotten up!
Zhang Kun opened the door with hazy eyes. When he saw Li Yong standing at the door holding a meat bone, he was quite surprised: "Why are you here so early?"
Li Yong smiled flatteringly: "Brother-in-law, you can sleep well. I will make breakfast."
Zhang Kun looked at the clock on the wall. It was only a little after six o'clock.
Looking into the corridor again, it was not yet completely light!
"What time did you get up?" Zhang Kun whispered.
"I got up at five o'clock. I went to bed early last night and couldn't fall asleep this morning." Li Yong said as he went to the kitchen carrying the bones.
Seeing Zhang Kun still standing in the living room, Li Yong hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, go back to sleep so I can make breakfast and call you guys!"
Zhang Kun played with Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang until after eleven o'clock last night, and now he is really sleepy.
He and Li Yong were master and apprentice, and they had known each other for many years. So he didn't bother to be polite with Li Yong, and went straight back to the bedroom to continue sleeping.
Back on the bed, Li Xu automatically leaned over and snuggled into his arms.
Zhang Kun, holding his wife, thought happily: If he wants to make breakfast, let him make it. It would be nice to sleep a little longer while holding my wife!
People who don’t have a wife to hug them are so pitiful!
In the kitchen, Li Yong put the pork ribs, which were as fresh as they could be, that he had just bought that morning, into the vegetable sink and washed them clean.
After briefly blanching in water, put it into the casserole.
He originally wanted to use water directly from the tap, but remembering what his eldest sister had told him, he resigned himself to taking the ladle, scooping water from the bucket next to him, and putting it into the casserole.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my elder sister. She has a good faucet but doesn’t use it. Instead, she insists on using a bucket like at home.
The elder sister also said that vitamin C tablets were added to the water, and the water in the bucket was filtered, so drinking it all the time is good for the body.
Just trust me for once!
After the pork ribs were stewed, Li Yong came to the living room and turned on the TV.
There’s no rush to make breakfast. You can still have time to start at seven o’clock.
He turned on the TV and turned the volume down to minimum.
He lay down on the sofa and yawned.
