Chen Xiaoying has lived two lives and understands these principles best: "I know. Also, when you are in a relationship in the future, never tell the other person how much money you have. I'm afraid that the other person is nice to you just because of your money."
Her granddaughter Li Yutong looked sober, but she was really afraid that Li Yutong would be influenced by her second aunt Li Hongli. She was so love-brained that she would abandon her face, parents, studies, and future for a man.
Li Yutong found it funny: "Grandma, I can't do that."
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Chen Xiaoying suddenly thought of someone. She looked carefully at Li Yutong's face and said, "Then tell me the truth, what do you think about that classmate named Shen Jiaze?"
Li Yutong was stunned for a moment. If her grandmother hadn't asked, she would have almost forgotten about Shen Jiaze.
What do you think? She shook her head: "People from different worlds don't take themselves seriously."
Only those who are blindly confident will believe in the story of Prince and Cinderella.
"That's good. When you go to college in the future, you can find a partner who is of equal status. We won't settle for someone who is too low, nor will we marry someone who is too high. We just need to live a down-to-earth life." Chen Xiaoying is an honest villager who never dares to dream.
Li Yutong nodded.
There were some things she still didn't tell her grandmother, for fear that she would think too much.
The director from the food factory was introduced by Shen Jiaze, which means that although Shen Jiaze has gone abroad, he has never lost contact with this place.
After Chen Xiaoying's wholesale bun business was booming for a while, the daily wholesale volume of buns has stabilized, and she has time to think about the dough mixer.
Secretary He had a set shipped back from another place. The price was not expensive and she could afford it.
Every day, she visited several stores and then studied how to use the dough mixer to make dough that satisfied her.
That day, after Chen Xiaoying finished her work, she ran to Xiaomanpu to call the sawmill.
"Old Third, when are you coming back? I'm really too busy here. If you come back to help, I'll pay you."
These days, she keeps urging the third brother, Li Hongqiang, every other day, and he simply doesn't answer the phone anymore.
"Mom, the third brother didn't come. Mom, why don't I go back?" The second brother Li Hongjian was angry on the phone. He had heard from his second sister Li Hongli that their mother Chen Xiaoying was doing well in the wholesale business of steamed buns. The money she made in a day was more than they made in a month. So why was he still working outside?
Working for others, having to obey their orders and being controlled.
It’s better to go home and work for yourself and earn money.
"It's okay if you want to come back, but what's going on with your third brother?" Chen Xiaoying asked.
The second brother, Li Hongjian, felt uncomfortable: "Mom, why do you always ask about the third brother? We brothers all work in the same factory, but you only care about the third brother. You first called the fourth brother back, and now you keep calling the third brother. Don't you care about me?"
It has to be said that no matter how old the second son, Li Hongjian, is, as long as his mother is around, he feels like a child who has not grown up and can't help but feel jealous.
Chen Xiaoying sighed: "Among the few of you, isn't it only the third brother who is most likely to cause trouble and makes me worry the most?"
This is the truth, but the second brother Li Hongjian feels that he is not a piece of stone and he will not be without feelings.
"Second brother, your third brother is not a good person. When you come back this time, try to bring him back. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble he will cause there." Chen Xiaoying said.
The second brother Li Hongjian also knew that the third brother Li Hongqiang was particularly upset during this period.
He lost a lot of money playing cards all night, but he wouldn't let me tell you. If I told him, he would get angry.
He can even like some women who look fat and greasy.
He didn't even know what he was trying to do: "Mom, the third child doesn't listen to me."
Chen Xiaoying's heart sank. She knew that the matter concerning the third brother could not be easily resolved.
How can we get the third child back?
Chen Xiaoying was at a loss, so she took advantage of her granddaughter Li Yutong's evening study time to have a private chat with her.
Li Yutong said, "My uncle bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you find someone he fears to deal with him, he will obey you."
"Who are you looking for?" Chen Xiaoying asked. She had an idea in her mind, but she didn't want to think about it.
"Grandma, it's my aunt. Apart from my aunt, who else can make him obedient?" Li Yutong said.
She didn't like to associate with her eldest aunt. Her eldest aunt was a very selfish person, but she had learned the skill of manipulating people's hearts by using family affection.
Because she can barely recognize a few words, she is definitely a talented candidate in this area.
"I'm not going." Chen Xiaoying's face suddenly turned ugly. She had finally driven away this heartless eldest daughter, and she didn't want her to come back.
Li Yutong said: "Grandma, you don't have to go, let my second aunt go, it will definitely work."
Chen Xiaoying was stunned: "Why?"
"Grandma, I know you don't like my eldest and second aunts for being selfish and extroverted, and only caring about themselves and not caring about the life and death of their mother's family. However, the entanglements between the closest relatives in the world are not only your own, but also in the gossips of many people. You can't completely sever ties with them, so why not use them when you should use them?" Li Yutong has thought it through.
"Anyway, if they are really in trouble, such as being in the hospital and lacking medical expenses, or their children can't afford tuition, you won't watch them die. Or if my cousins can't afford to go to school and ruin their lives, you will still lend a hand, right?"
As Chen Xiaoying listened, she sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true?"
"I can't bring myself to do this." She had asked her eldest daughter Li Hongyan and second daughter Li Hongli to leave several times. Now she was going to use them again. Not only would it be embarrassing, but they would come and take advantage of her again.
"Grandma, just leave this matter to my fourth uncle." Li Yutong already had an idea in her mind.
Chen Xiaoying knew her granddaughter had many ideas, so she simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Yutong knew that her third uncle Li Honggang's matter could not be delayed, so she left the school during lunch time to look for her fourth uncle Li Honggang.
The supervision of senior high school students in the county is not too strict now. Local students who stay at home will go back at night. The guards don't watch them strictly during lunch time. What's more, Li Yutong's situation is special, and the principal has explained that she can be released at any time if there is any problem.
She found her fourth uncle Li Honggang working in a hot pot restaurant.
Li Honggang started selling steamed buns in the morning and was busy until around nine o'clock. He had nothing to do all day, so Li Yutong suggested that he help wash vegetables and dishes in the hot pot restaurant and gave him a part of the salary every month. He felt that this job was easier than selling steamed buns.
Some people are born not to like dealing with people. They stay in the kitchen washing dishes and earn money quietly, but they are exhausted.
Li Yutong handed him over and told him about this matter: "Fourth Uncle, my grandma has long felt that my third uncle will definitely get into trouble outside. She is very worried. She is getting older and older. She is worried about getting sick. What should I do?"
"Fourth Uncle, just go ahead and tell my Second Aunt about my Third Uncle's situation at the factory. My Second Aunt is very smart and will definitely have a solution."
