Since she likes getting married and having children, why does she go to college?

Just think about how poor the Li family was when she was admitted to university.

Her parents, Li Pingwang and Chen Xiaoying, were just ordinary country old men and women. They cultivated a few acres of land, which was enough for them to eat and drink all year round.

She doesn't even have tuition money.

Moreover, I heard that her younger sister Li Hongxia's test scores were slightly better than hers.

Li Hongxia said that she went out to work to reduce the burden on her family.

Li Hongli herself said: "Going to college can raise your status and help you find a good job. A good job means you get a high salary. You paying for my college education is like an investment. When I start earning a salary, I will bring the money back to honor you. My monthly salary as a college student must be much higher than what my brothers earn carrying wood in the lumber mill."

That's what she said.

Did she forget what she said?

When she gets married and has children, even if her mother-in-law takes care of her children, will her husband be willing if she gives her salary to her mother-in-law? Will her mother-in-law be willing to take care of her children?

Su Wanping felt that her cousin Chen Xiaoying was even more unlucky than her.

Ma Hongxiu is not her biological daughter, but she can comfort herself by saying that she is not her biological daughter and therefore she is not filial.

Li Hongli is her biological daughter. She gave birth to and raised her and sent her to school for so many years. It was like planting a fruit tree. It took a lot of effort to grow it from a small sapling into a big tree that bears fruit.

Without even tasting a single fruit, she settled down in her husband's family.

Could it be that her family members were cultivating the fruit trees for her husband’s family?

Did my parents’ family owe my husband’s family in the previous life?

Su Wanping was an outsider, so she couldn't say anything and could only watch from the side.

After hearing what her second daughter said, Chen Xiaoying nodded: "Okay, you said so."

"It's getting late today. Tomorrow, I will go and settle the score with Xu Xiaodong."

Li Hongli got anxious all of a sudden: "Mom, what are you doing? When I was dating Xu Xiaodong, I was the one who took the initiative to pursue him."

Her mother Chen Xiaoying sneered. Although she said so, she was sure that it must have been Xu Xiaodong who teased her first, which was why she took the initiative.

She said sarcastically, "Your pregnancy is not something you did alone. He has ruined my daughter's innocence. He has to give me an explanation as a mother. If you want to get married, you have to show your attitude."

Li Hongli then realized that her mother was backing her up, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, then, then you can't hit him. He has a strong sense of self-esteem. The more you force him, the more he will be unwilling. What should I do?"

"When he made you pregnant, he didn't seem to be unwilling. So, was it you who forced him to do it?" Chen Xiaoying's words were rude but the logic was not rude.

Li Hongli cried out in annoyance, "Mom, you are too rude. You can't say that to the Xu family."

Even at this time, he still didn't forget to protect Xu Xiaodong and his family.

Chen Xiaoying felt aggrieved. She really had raised this daughter in vain. She was just like her eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, but she made her feel even more uncomfortable than her eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, is after money. She will first coax you into submission and not let you feel uncomfortable. Then she lives a comfortable life with her husband at home. As a mother, she never has to worry about being bullied by her husband's family.

A daughter is a piece of flesh that falls off her mother's body.

She was raised with great difficulty, married off to her husband's family, and had to give birth to children for them. She had to wash clothes, cook, and serve her husband. But when her husband got unhappy, he would slap her in the face or kick her, leaving her with a black eye and a swollen face.

How can a mother bear this?

But the second daughter, Li Hongli, is willing to do so. In her previous life, she had suffered a lot from her disappointing second daughter.

If she knew that if she resisted, she, as a mother, would have to fight this heartless son-in-law with her life, she would be willing to do so.

"I don't need you to tell me. Since you are pregnant and willing to marry Xu Xiaodong, he has to take responsibility and marry you honestly." Chen Xiaoying made up her mind.

In this life, she will no longer worry about the affairs of her second daughter Li Hongli. The man is more important than all her relatives. She cannot live without Xu Xiaodong.

Then why is she, as a mother, being so sentimental?

After resting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Chen Xiaoying planned to go back: "Wanping, if you are not busy, you and the employees should leave work early and take a rest."

Su Wanping said, "I understand. If you have something to do, just go ahead and leave the store to me."

Only then did Chen Xiaoying take Li Hongli away.

Su Wanping sighed behind her back. The library job issue would probably be difficult to handle. She was already pregnant, and she couldn't go on maternity leave after just a few months of work.

Let's wait and see.

Chen Xiaoying took Li Hongli back.

The second daughter, Li Hongli, also said: "Mom, the hot pot restaurant is busiest at night, I'll go take a look."

This is still a thief with evil intentions.

Chen Xiaoying glared at her and said, "That's Xiaoyu's shop, don't even think about getting your hands on it. When you marry Xu Xiaodong, you'll be a member of the Xu family, and I won't let you get your hands on it."

She was not afraid of Li Hongli, she was afraid of the cunning and treacherous Xu Xiaodong.

The second daughter, Li Hongli, is like a gun in Xu Xiaodong's hand. She shoots wherever others point her.

She simply couldn't believe it.

Li Hongli acted disdainful and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's just a hot pot restaurant, nothing special! If Xiaodong wants to do it, he can do it easily."

She thought it was quite simple. It was just some vegetables and meatballs cooked in hot pot ingredients. It didn't require any technical skills.

She thought it was simple.

Chen Xiaoying glanced at her. Now, she absolutely didn't dare let her know that the county wanted to open a hot pot ingredients processing factory in partnership with Xiaoyu. If she knew, Xu Xiaodong would know too. Who knows what Xu Xiaodong would do.

Speaking of hot pot ingredients, Li Yutong has already given Secretary He a guarantee that she can provide the technology.

However, because it was a major event for the county, Secretary He’s opinion alone did not count, and he had to discuss it with other county leaders.

In the evening, Li Yutong chatted with her grandmother Chen Xiaoying.

"The canning factory closed down, and my grandma was very anxious. She wanted to find a stable job for my uncle."

Chen Xiaoying thought of her granddaughter Li Yutong's uncle Liu Jianshe. His second child was only two years old, and it was a time when the whole family needed to spend money. Old Mrs. Liu herself had a lot of health problems, and it was her married daughters who supported her by paying for medical examinations and taking her for checkups.

Speaking of Old Lady Liu, Chen Xiaoying almost shed tears of envy.

How come other people are so successful in raising children?

I tried my best to support my daughters so that they could go to school. All three daughters have formal jobs and earn salaries. Before they got married, each of them would hand over half of the salary to the family and keep the remaining half for themselves.

When it comes to dating, Old Lady Liu has found the best sons-in-law. They are both chefs and teachers, and they are all iron dinner parties.

When something happens, several sons-in-law are more useful than sons.

Even after they got married, whenever Mrs. Liu was sick or in pain, her son-in-law would drive himself to pick her up, and he never asked his brother-in-law for the medical expenses.

How should I put it? It's probably because Old Lady Liu knows how to behave. Apart from her own expenses, if her son Liu Jianshe wants to spend money, she forces him to earn it himself, and she always says that she is afraid of spoiling him into bad habits.

The daughters are filial to their mother and also feel sorry for their only younger brother. The job at Liu Jianshe Cannery was got by the eldest son-in-law through his relatives. Whenever the younger brother has problems, the five sisters contribute money and manpower.

Her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Yutong's mother Liu Lanxiang, is the fourth child in the family. The family is poor, so she is the one who contributes to the labor.
