But seeing the whole family covered in dirt and exhausted, she couldn't bring herself to do it in front of her two grandchildren. Besides, would beating them do any good?

Li Hongyan is thick-skinned. Even if you put evidence in front of her, she will never admit it.

Li Yutong looked at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't think too much. Just live your life well and have a clear conscience."

She could tell that Zhao Pengbo seemed to have something against her grandmother, and he wasn't very enthusiastic when he saw her grandmother.

When he met Zhao Pengbo at her grandmother's house before, he called her "Grandma" all the time in a very affectionate way.

Needless to say, although their mother Li Hongyan didn't let them worry about money, they were not children anymore and they still knew about the dilemma of their family's lack of money, which they had never experienced before.

Children without money, knowing that their tuition and living expenses are all borrowed from the outside by their parents with great effort, will definitely be frugal when spending money. They will feel guilty if they spend a little more.

Zhao Pengbo must have known that his uncles no longer lent money to their family.

In his previous life, although Zhao Pengbo didn't say anything, he had the same idea as his conscienceless elder brother Zhao Pengfei: "My mother borrowed the money. I don't know how much money she borrowed from you, or whether she paid it back. You two are siblings, so you should talk about it yourself. I know nothing."

When her father Li Hongwei asked Zhao Pengbo about this, Zhao Pengbo lowered his head and hummed, "My mother told me not to intervene in this matter. I don't know what's going on."

Only Zhao Pengle was honest: "Uncle, tell me how much you still owe, I will pay it back slowly for my mother."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his mother Li Hongyan scolded him: "You are capable, you are amazing, you have been working for several years and you don't even have a girlfriend, and you want to pay back your debts? Paying back your debts is something you should worry about, just take care of yourself and stop saying stupid things."

Zhao Pengle looked embarrassed when his mother scolded him. He was the youngest and had no say in the Zhao family.

Afterwards, Zhao Pengfei called him stupid: "Are you stupid? How much money did you make? If you have too much money to spend, I will help you spend it."

Zhao Pengle was speechless due to the ridicule, and he didn't dare to reason with his mother and his elder brother.

Chen Xiaoying was very conflicted: "Grandma has seen through your aunt a long time ago. No matter what she does, I can be cruel to her, but I can't be cruel to Pengbo and Pengle. They are still in school, and I can help them as much as I can. If they are like your eldest cousin Pengfei, who is ignorant and has no idea of ​​making progress, I won't care about them."

Zhao Pengfei graduated from junior high school and after getting into the worst high school, he simply stopped going to school. He didn't like going to school and did nothing all day long. He didn't help with the work in the fields and didn't find a proper job in the city. Some time ago, he wanted to buy a cheap car and was cheated out of 5,000 yuan.

The five thousand yuan was swindled from her grandmother Chen Xiaoying by pretending to be injured in a fall.

Her grandmother was so cruel to Zhao Pengfei that if he didn't learn his lesson, don't expect her to spend a penny on him.

But her grandmother really couldn't bear to be cruel to Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle, who knew how to study hard and wanted to change their destiny.

In her grandmother's eyes, a child who is willing to learn is a good child. As an elder, you should support such a good child, even if you are exhausted.

"Grandma, I know." Li Yutong understood what Chen Xiaoying meant. In fact, if she were her grandma Chen Xiaoying, seeing her grandchildren having such a hard time, she would also think of helping them.

She had helped them when they were young. When they grow up, if they want to repay her, they can come to see her often. If they don't have that intention, she, as their grandmother, will have a clear conscience.

At least they won’t say when they grow up: “My grandma was very rich at that time. She opened several restaurants in the county, but we couldn’t even pay the tuition. My mom went to borrow money, but she refused to lend us…”

The grandparents and grandchildren ran to Zhaojia Village in the hottest weather, and then returned to the county town, staring at the scorching sun.

Now I took a shower at home and then went to the store again.

"Xiao Yu, all the people working here are older. If Pengbo and Pengle come, let them go to your store. How about that? I'll pay them the salary." Chen Xiaoying came back and thought about it. Her store only sold buns and steamed dumplings, and the employees working for the hamburgers and fried chicken next door were already enough. Even if two people came, they would not feel comfortable doing anything.

But my granddaughter Li Yutong's store opened a branch and was recruiting people.

Li Yutong nodded: "Okay, grandma, but they work for me, they work for me, I will pay them, don't worry."

She also wanted to help Zhao Pengle. When she bought a house in her previous life, Zhao Pengle just called her and immediately transferred tens of thousands of yuan to her.

Zhao Pengbo, just treat it as a by-product.

Now food factories have gradually introduced new frozen foods, such as frozen buns, dumplings, steamed dumplings, etc., which are selling quite well and are gradually gaining a reputation.

The hot pot restaurant belongs to Li Yutong, and everything else is split equally between her and her grandmother. When she was in school, her grandmother did most of the cooking and had to ensure the quality and manage the business, so she was just sitting there waiting to get her share of the profits. Therefore, all the contracts for things at the food factory were written on a 50-50 split basis.

Her grandmother didn't want to write a contract at first. What kind of contract were they going to write? Her grandmother said, "My money was earned by you while I was with her. I would be happy if you took it all. I have used the money I earned over the past few years to build and buy houses for you uncles. The remaining money is enough for me to live on in my old age. I am content."

Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying was indeed a person who was easily contented, but Li Yutong knew the importance of legal contracts. If she couldn't explain it clearly, not to mention her uncles, she was afraid that when Li Yujie and Li Yumeng grew up, they would bring up these accounts and she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

At present, both of them have hired a professional accountant to sort out their accounts, and they have not missed a penny of the taxes paid to the government.

A few days after she said she would come to work, Li Yutong saw her aunt Li Hongyan bringing Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle getting off a tricycle on the street.

"Mom." Li Hongyan looked particularly happy, and Zhao Faliang, who was following her, also smiled.

Li Yutong knew at a glance what the couple was so happy about. Ever since her aunt and her grandmother opened a fried skewers shop, she had been trying every possible way to get into the shop and had never given up.

But her grandmother Chen Xiaoying was like an iron bucket and didn't let her get involved at all.

Unexpectedly, now her two sons can come to work, isn’t she happy?

In the eyes of her aunt Li Hongyan, her two sons were not here to work, but were here to take over the store on her behalf.

"You're here." Chen Xiaoying was still indifferent to Li Hongyan, but her attitude towards Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle was much better: "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll tell you what to do later."

Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle both changed into clean and tidy clothes today, which looked like the kind of clothes they would wear when going to school in other places.
