"Okay, then I'll think of a way." Li Hongyan couldn't wait to ease the relationship with her biological mother Chen Xiaoying. If it was done, wouldn't she be given a house in the future?

She had already figured it out in her mind.

Even if she doesn't live in this house, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars, enough for her eldest son to get married. It's so difficult to get married nowadays. If she has a house, many girls will be willing to marry into her family.

Others envied her for giving birth to three sons and marrying three daughters-in-law to her in the future, so that she, as a mother-in-law, could enjoy a peaceful life.

But has anyone ever thought that this son is difficult to raise?

If I were like the people in the village, I would not be allowed to continue studying after primary school and would be taken to work in the fields. When I reached the age, I would marry a girl from the same rural area and live my life like that.

But she didn't want to.

She was fed up with poverty and believed that only knowledge could change her destiny, just like Ma Hongxiu.

She was poor, but after she was adopted by her cousin Su Wanping, she went to school well and attended cram school every day. Look, she married the son of the deputy director, and the couple went abroad together, made a lot of money, and completely changed their destiny.

She didn't dare to think so far ahead. She just wanted her sons to study hard, send them to college, and then buy them a house and a car so that they could become successful people. She didn't want anything else.

"Sister, I'll listen to you no matter what you say," said Li Hongli.

Li Hongyan rolled her eyes and suddenly felt that she couldn't talk to Li Hongli. She had contributed and her mother Chen Xiaoying had to know about it.

"I'll go talk to our mother first."

She stood up and left.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll go too." Li Hongli hurried to catch up.

Li Hongyan didn't want her to go: "Don't go, your belly is big, running back and forth will make you tired, you should go back."

Li Hongyan didn't even wait for Li Hongli, whose body was gradually becoming clumsy, and walked away with big strides.

Li Hongli stamped her feet in anxiety, but there was nothing she could do so she could only go home.

Speaking of Li Hongyan, she ran to the small workshop producing hot pot ingredients and was finally blocked by someone.

"Mom." She called out timidly, with a cautious look in her eyes, fearing that her mother Chen Xiaoying would drive her away again.

When Chen Xiaoying saw Li Hongyan, she subconsciously became wary. She was really scared of her eldest daughter being cheated.

"What do you want me to do?" Chen Xiaoying comes here every day to mix the ingredients, and she doesn't have to do any other work.

He Mingliang is always watching the workers working here. As long as they ensure cleanliness and hygiene, everything is fine.

This is just temporary. When the food factory officially starts operating, this small workshop probably won't be needed anymore.

Chen Xiaoying was unhappy.

Li Hongyan became excited. Her mother didn't chase her away. She seemed to be encouraged and went over to him: "Mom, I heard that you are worried about the third child. What's the matter? Tell me, I will definitely help you find a solution."

Chen Xiaoying frowned. She didn't believe that Li Hongyan knew nothing.

He obviously knew everything, but he pretended not to know and came here to test her.

What she disliked most was her eldest daughter's scheming and petty behavior. She seemed to be unable to speak unless she knew she was calculating against others.

"You don't know? Hongli didn't tell you?" she asked bluntly.

Li Hongyan was stunned for a moment: "Mom, you know everything?"

Chen Xiaoying snorted and glared at her: "I know about your little brother looking for Hongli. Hongli is a brainless person. She will definitely look for you again. Are you playing tricks on me?"

Li Hongyan felt embarrassed: "Mom, that's not what I meant."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you say you have an idea, then tell me. I want to listen." She wanted to see what good idea her eldest daughter could come up with.

When Li Hongyan came, she thought of several solutions on the way. At this time, she said to her mother Chen Xiaoying in a gentle voice: "Mom, I have thought of several solutions. I will tell you all of them. Whichever one you think is good, we will do it according to it."

Chen Xiaoying nodded without commenting.

Li Hongyan started talking: "This way, you come out and coax him, saying that we are going to open a third store, and ask him to come back to be the store manager. Mom, even though the third child has no future, he has high aspirations. How can he not be happy to come back and be the boss?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Hongyan with something strange in her eyes.

Li Hongyan's eyes flickered but she said nothing.

"This idea is not good. He is not fit to be a boss." Chen Xiaoying refused.

Don't think she can't see that the eldest daughter is playing the long game to hook the big fish. If the third daughter Li Hongqiang becomes the boss, the person who is behind the scenes will definitely be the eldest daughter.

In the end, she still managed to cheat him out of the money.

Li Hongyan felt that her mother seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and hurriedly said the second solution to cover it up: "Mom, then you can say that Xueyan doesn't want to live with him anymore and wants a divorce, and ask him to come back quickly, is that okay?"

Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help thinking about it.

"This is not good. It will hurt feelings. If the third brother misunderstands Xueyan, the couple will have a fight."

She said that the third brother had a bad personality and had affairs with women outside, but if his wife Xueyan didn't live with him, he would suspect that Xueyan was restless and looked down on him, so he had someone else outside.

"Mom, don't be afraid. With you here, how can he cause any trouble?" Li Hongyan didn't think this was a bad idea.

Chen Xiaoying shook her head: "Is there any other way? Think of something else."

Li Hongyan was a little disappointed and could only come up with a third solution: "Mom, this is the third solution I thought of. If it doesn't work, then I have no other choice."

"Just you say it." Chen Xiaoying became impatient.

Li Hongyan was a little afraid of her mother now, so she had to speak honestly: "Mom, just tell her that you made money and want to share it with your sons. The third son promised to come back."

Chen Xiaoying almost couldn't catch her breath.

The eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, has evil intentions. All three of her ideas are based on harming others.

"Hongyan, Hongyan, are you anxious for me to give them some money? I'm not dead yet, why are you so anxious?" From the first idea, Chen Xiaoying knew that her eldest daughter was still counting on her money.

"You are my daughter. Why has our relationship come to this? Have you never thought about it?"

She was a little disappointed.

Li Hongyan was a little anxious: "Mom, what's wrong?"

She didn't say anything else.

Chen Xiaoying felt a little exhausted and sat on a chair in the yard with a grim look on her face.

Li Hongyan didn't dare to sit down, even though there was a small stool next to her.

"Hongyan, you should reflect on this. As your mother, I have never been partial to any of you seven. I always want you to live a good life, understand?"

Chen Xiaoying's eyes turned red and she couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Li Hongyan was a little anxious: "Mom, why are you crying?"

Chen Xiaoying felt sad. Among her seven children, her eldest daughter Li Hongyan was the most irritating.
