Li Yutong had never told anyone that she was rich, but her aunts all knew about it. Just by looking at the cash flow from her stores, they knew she had money. She was also one of the few people who knew that she and her milk had shares in the largest food factory in the city.
My aunt also knew that she had bought a shop and a small building near the university town in the provincial capital. One time, she went to the university town in the provincial capital to visit an old friend, and when she was having dinner, she happened to be in Li Yutong's breakfast shop, and the two met on that spot.
Only her aunt knew about this and felt that she was becoming more and more promising, and that her younger sister Liu Lanxiang could finally have someone to rely on in her life.
Li Yutong was reborn. She knew which parts of the provincial university town needed to be demolished for the expansion of the university town and which parts needed to be demolished for the city planning to be turned into parks. She was not a stubborn person and would cooperate as long as the government issued a document and signed it.
"It's okay as long as you know it in your mind." Liu Meixiang had long seen through Li Hongwei. He was a man who dared to take responsibility for a hundred dollars for his brothers even if he had only a dime in his pocket. To put it bluntly, he was just pretending to be rich.
She didn't want Xiaoyu to help her father fill those bottomless pits.
"I know." Li Yutong agreed.
Liu Meixiang is an open-minded person. She immediately asked the sisters Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan about their educational level. She learned that they went to No. 4 Middle School for junior high school, and were among the top 20 students in their grade. They were excellent students and had awards at home. She knew that they had a good foundation. "I suggest that they study with the students in the first year of high school. If they want to go directly to the third year of high school with their peers, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up."
“It’s not possible to get into the ideal university.”
Li Yutong said, "Aunt, my grandma paid a high price to hire a good teacher, who will provide them with one-on-one teaching and strive to help them catch up with the learning progress of high school."
Liu Meixiang was shocked. After making money from her business, Old Lady Chen was willing to spend money on her grandchildren.
In the past, Grandma Chen spent money to give one-on-one teaching to several of her granddaughters who were only in junior high school, and it indeed played a very significant role.
This is also a good thing. Investing in the brains and future of your grandchildren is much better than giving them money directly.
"That's fine. How about this? I'll first find the examination papers of the first and second year high school students to see their academic level and then discuss what grade they should be in." Liu Meixiang said.
Li Yutong agreed immediately and still listened to her aunt in this regard.
After she came back, she told her aunt's idea to her aunt Chen Hongping and two cousins Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan.
"That's fine. It's best to proceed step by step and not be too eager for success. Life is long. The key is these few years before the college entrance examination. Even if I start learning in the first year of high school, that's fine." This is what Chen Xiaoying thought.
Chen Hongping also thought it made sense.
Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan nodded immediately.
Things are going smoothly here for Chen Xiaoying.
Lijia Village.
When Li Pingwang was sitting on the tree stump at the gate of the yard crying again, someone finally stopped.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The person who came spoke in a very impatient manner.
Li Hongli heard from her elder sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang that their father cried at the gate of the yard every day. She thought, he cries, so what.
But when she heard the crying and saw his miserable appearance, she felt uncomfortable.
His condition is like someone has died in the family and has not been buried yet.
How can it not make the villagers feel unlucky?
"Hongli, you're back? Oh, it's time to come back and see your father. Look how pitiful your father is now. How can you, as his children, just ignore him?" The person next door heard Li Hongli's voice and hurried out to say a few words.
Li Pingwang is now old and confused. Although his temperament is still as weak as before, due to his confusion, he doesn't even know what fear is. He just keeps crying.
When Li Hongli heard this, she knew that the neighbor was accusing her of being unfilial. She felt unhappy: "When did we stop caring? Didn't my sister-in-law bring food to my dad a few days ago? We are grown up and have our own things to do. We can't put down our own things and come back to take care of my dad, right? Then we will all be left with nothing?"
Li Hongli has been very good at speaking since she was young, which is called "flipping the mouth" in local dialect.
That means that no matter what you say, she will talk back to you, no matter whether what she says makes sense or not, and it is still very hurtful.
The neighbor knew her problem and smiled: "I don't know what's wrong with you since your elder sister doesn't come."
She said that on purpose, just to make fun of her.
No matter how slow Li Hongli was, she could tell that this was a satire on her father who had favored Li Hongyan all his life and now couldn't see Li Hongyan when he needed someone to serve him.
Li Hongli meant the same thing.
He just snorted: "Who knows, you ungrateful thing."
She pushed the child into the yard and helped Li Pingwang walk home, saying to him impatiently, "Dad, did you hear what my aunt said just now? Look, everyone in the village is laughing at you."
"You spent all your money on my eldest sister in the early years. Now that you are sick, not only does she not pay a dime for your medical expenses, she doesn't even come to take care of you. Tell me, is she an ungrateful person?"
"No, no, no." Li Pingwang didn't want to hear her say bad things about Li Hongyan, and hurried to explain.
Li Hongli had no patience to listen to him defending Li Hongyan. The house was in a mess, with fallen leaves all over the floor and no one sweeping them. She could only go and sweep them, thinking that she had to cook later.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never done so much work.
Although she was paid to do this job, it did not stop her from constantly complaining that Li Hongyan was ungrateful and that Li Pingwang was biased.
Li Pingwang was so angry that his face turned pale. When he saw that it was his second daughter Li Hongli who came back, his heart sank.
From childhood to adulthood, if the second daughter is asked to do a little thing, she will cry and make a fuss as if she had suffered a great loss, full of complaints and nonsense. It is best not to let her do anything, so that she can calm down a little.
She is not even as good as her elder sister Li Hongyan's toes.
"Get out, get out. I don't want you to serve me. Get out!" Li Pingwang always had a bad temper towards his children. At this time, he raised his eyebrows and glared at Li Hongli, telling her to get out.
As soon as she entered the room and swept the floor a few times, she started talking nonstop. She was not here to serve her, but to piss him off to death.
"Dad! What do you mean?" Li Hongli was furious and cursed angrily: "Don't you want to be well? If you can live on your own, then do it yourself."
"You come to sweep the floor, you come to cook, you use me while scolding me, what do you mean?"
"Come on, come on?"
She stuffed the broom into Li Pingwang's arms and said, "You sweep the floor, you sweep!"
Li Pingwang was nearly pushed to the ground by her, and was so angry that he almost trembled.
Li Hongli used to be afraid of her father. Last year, he slapped her twice in her mother's restaurant. She cried at that time, and her mother Chen Xiaoying almost used a kitchen knife to fight with her father.
But now she is not afraid of him.
He can't even walk in the aisle and even eating depends on her mood. Why should she be afraid of him?
