Chen Xiaoying watched Zhao Pengfei write the IOU honestly, but she did not feel relieved.

After all, he is still a young man and does not have the "experience" of his mother Li Hongyan.

Look at his mother, Li Hongyan. She has been borrowing money and things from her parents' home since thirty years ago, but she has never written a single IOU or paid back a penny.

Zhao Pengfei happily took the three hundred yuan given by his second and fourth uncles and ran to refuel.

According to him, he will start making money from today.

The second son, Li Hongjian, is happy to see his eldest nephew making progress. If he becomes successful, he will feel a sense of accomplishment as the second uncle who has supported him through more than ten years of schooling.

The fourth brother, Li Honggang, also meant the same thing. If he became successful and did well in his life, he should be able to benefit from it in the future. After all, he, as the fourth uncle, had helped his family so much.

Looking at the appearance of her two sons, Chen Xiaoying sighed. From her own perspective, they still thought too highly of Zhao Pengfei.

In her previous life, the eldest daughter Li Hongyan and the eldest son Li Hongwei had a falling out because of her death. The third son Li Hongqiang fought for Li Hongyan and even picked up a fruit knife to fight with his eldest brother Li Hongwei.

What the second oldest brother, Li Hongjian, said at that time: "My eldest sister is my real eldest sister, and my eldest brother is my real eldest brother. It would be wrong for me to help either of them. I might as well just not help anyone."

Just this sentence offended Li Hongyan.

Her eldest daughter, Zhao Pengfei, is narrow-minded, or perhaps it was her mother Li Hongyan's instruction.

After her funeral, the third brother Li Hongqiang had to go back to work at the sawmill. At that time, the second brother Li Hongjian was also working at the sawmill. The two brothers were always together.

Zhao Pengfei drove Li Hongqiang there. When he passed by Li Hongjian, he didn't even call him. He just glanced at him and left with his third uncle Li Hongqiang.

At that time, the second brother Li Hongjian's face turned blue and white.

Her eldest daughter Li Hongyan's family is the kind of people who can do such things that make people speechless and unable to say anything.

If she were to say, the second brother Li Hongjian's unwillingness to speak up for justice was already biased towards Li Hongyan.

Li Hongyan was so powerful at that time. She had the final say in everything regarding her mother's funeral. Her eldest brother Li Hongwei and his wife Liu Lanxiang were like subordinates and did not listen to her. When they were not around, she started talking to those present.

"If my mother were still alive, seeing the state of my eldest brother and his wife, I wonder how sad she would feel."

"Oh my god, I am useless as the eldest sister. I don't even want to take care of you. We are here, but we are not even given a good meal. I think we are despised by others."

She cried with snot and tears: "After I have done your thing, I will never go to the old family again. I can't afford it. They are rich now and look down on us poor relatives."

She cried like this in front of the mourning hall every day and kept instigating.

People coming and going in the village, as well as those relatives who did not know the truth, all said that the eldest brother Li Hongwei was wrong. However, Li Hongwei was tongue-tied and could not explain himself at all.

Later, the eldest granddaughter Li Yutong came back and sat there every morning and evening. The eldest daughter Li Hongyan could not say anything wrong about her parents in front of her, so she shut up.

Even so, she did not let it go. She could not hold it back any longer, so she called the third brother Li Hongqiang and the fourth brother Li Honggang to a small room on the side, and secretly talked to Li Yutong about the same thing.

At three o'clock in the morning, the third brother, Li Hongqiang, said angrily with a sullen face: "There is no food or drink. Do you want to starve me to death?"

He didn't dare to cause trouble for his elder brother Li Hongwei openly, so he just sat here and made indirect accusations.

It was the eldest granddaughter Li Yutong who said, "Uncle San, you are here to keep vigil for your own mother. This is what you should do. My father didn't pay you to come here and serve you food and drinks at three o'clock in the morning."

"Besides, there are all kinds of milk drinks on the ground. What do you want to drink?"

Regarding the drink, Li Hongyan had something to say: "Xiao Yu, these drinks are not from your house. They are from your grandmother. They were brought by her when she visited her."

Li Yutong also had something to say: "Some of them are indeed, but at least half of them were sent by my father's friends who came to comfort him. Otherwise, they don't even know my grandma or you guys, so why would they come to my house?"

Li Yutong was already doing business in the county town at that time. Although he was not very rich, he was much better off than the villagers.

Her eldest aunt Li Hongyan and third uncle Li Hongqiang kept saying that the eldest brother was looking down on others now that he was rich. They also pointedly accused Li Yutong of being filial to her father, saying that her father had become rich but did not help them.

In their eyes, giving money and not having to pay it back is considered helping.

If you give money and then ask someone to pay it back later, it means you are not helping them.

Moreover, in their eyes, helping without paying is equivalent to no help.

For example, the eldest brother Li Hongwei helped the third brother Li Hongqiang to fight for housing land in the village, and they fought with others until they were bloody. When dividing the land, he tried hard to get paddy fields for him instead of dry fields. The third brother never forgot these things.

There is also her daughter Li Hongyan. The family contracted so much land that when the eldest son was in his teens, he would lead his brothers who were capable of farm work to work for her, sweating profusely. Over the past ten years, a unique landscape has been formed in Zhaojia Village. However, in the eyes of Li Hongyan and her son Zhao Pengfei, these laborers are still nothing.

"Mom, let's go back to work." After a false alarm, the second son Li Hongjian said.

The fourth brother Li Honggang also meant the same thing.

Chen Xiaoying nodded and said, "Go ahead. But I have something to tell you. Since he has a car and gas money now, and has started to make money, you are not allowed to lend him money in the future."

"Once this car is running, it consumes a lot of oil. If he doesn't earn money honestly, this car will be like a bottomless pit. He comes to borrow money every day. Can you bear it?"

Zhao Pengfei's business is a loss-making one. The money for the car was cheated from her, and the gas money was cheated from his two uncles. He can make money for himself by driving the car. What is this?

It's a business with no capital. Aren't people like this the smartest in the world?

Even if he loses, he won't lose a penny.

"Okay, Mom, I get it." The second son, Li Hongjian, is now working in the county town. Although it is not far to the village, sometimes it is late and the street lights are not bright enough. He also hopes that he can have an apartment.

The fourth brother, Li Honggang, also nodded. His idea was the same as his second brother's, to quickly earn money and buy a house, which was the most important thing.

After the two sons left, Chen Xiaoying noticed the embarrassed Zhao Xueyan beside her.

She was speechless: "What do you think? You think Pengfei is dead, so you called the second and fourth brothers?"

Zhao Xueyan couldn't help but laugh dryly: "I, I just guessed because I saw you were distracted. Didn't his brother say that he was in trouble?"

Chen Xiaoying could only sigh: "Then you should be more stable in the future, and don't think the sky is falling at the slightest disturbance."

"Yes, yes, Mom, I won't do that again." Zhao Xueyan agreed readily.

But she still felt uncomfortable. Her elder sister-in-law Li Hongyan could no longer get money from her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying, but her eldest son Zhao Pengfei inherited her ability to "borrow money" and continued to borrow money from her mother-in-law, even by cheating.

What's going on? Is this the old saying that goes, "The disciple surpasses the master"?
