Guo Xunmin is too domineering.
There are always people in the village who don't have the surname Guo.
Once the Guo family rose from the ashes and fell into the mud, those who had been bullied felt that it would be an injustice not to retaliate.
Duan Mingyue was truly frightened.
Li Xiangdong immediately told Duan Mingyue to pack her luggage, saying, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Once he went to the hospital, he didn't believe those people would dare to cause trouble there.
Duan Mingyue was in a bit of a dilemma.
She glanced at Wu Yuanxiu hesitantly.
Wu Yuanxiu coughed twice, "I'm not going, we're out of money."
Originally, Guo Xunmin was sentenced to prison and a large portion of his family's property was confiscated, but even if a little was left, it would be enough for the mother and son to live on.
However, in order to reduce her husband's sentence, Wu Yuanxiu voluntarily returned all the remaining money.
Now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are struggling to make ends meet, and their lives are incredibly miserable.
Li Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't need to worry about the money..."
"No! We can't repay this favor."
“It’s not a favor, and the money isn’t mine. This money was given to me by Uncle Guo back then.”
Wu Yuanxiu knew that the 200,000 yuan was compensation for you, and she said, "I can't accept it!"
Wu Yuanxiu's attitude was too firm.
Having no other option, Li Xiangdong had to find another way. "Aunt Wu, don't you want to live a good life and wait for Uncle Guo to come out?"
Wu Yuanxiu's body trembled slightly, and Li Xiangdong pressed on.
"Twenty years is a long time, but it's also short; it'll pass in the blink of an eye. Do you really want Uncle Guo to never see you again after he gets out?"
Wu Yuanxiu cried.
And so, Li Xiangdong personally arranged for the two women, mother and daughter-in-law, to be admitted to Tiankang Hospital in Bincheng City.
After everything was arranged, Li Xiangdong walked out of the hospital.
The wide road was bustling with people and vehicles, a truly lively scene!
People either rush to work or stroll leisurely through the streets.
Vehicles weave through the roads, sometimes speeding by, sometimes moving slowly.
The shops and vendors along the roadside were not to be outdone, loudly hawking their goods to attract the attention of passersby.
The entire street is filled with a strong sense of daily life and a bustling commercial atmosphere, allowing people to feel the city's vigorous development and charm.
Li Xiangdong plunged headlong into the bustling city.
Everyone has their own path to walk, and no matter which path you choose, you must keep walking it.
After listening to Li Xiangdong's arrangements, Li Jin remained silent for a while before saying, "Well done."
Then Li Jin tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Zhao Sufang was so exhausted by his antics that she was no longer sleepy.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping at this hour!"
Li Jin simply turned on the light, lay down in front of Zhao Sufang's head, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Honey, do you think if our family continues like this, will we end up like Guo Xunmin's family?"
Zhao Sufang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "How can you compare them! Our family isn't that domineering."
Li Jin let out a long sigh.
Zhao Sufang said to him, "Tell me, how many times have you sighed today?"
"Hey, you don't understand."
Zhao Sufang retorted, "What don't I understand! You're the village chief, I'm the factory manager, how could I possibly be less knowledgeable than you?"
Li Jin grabbed Zhao Sufang's hand and said, "Wife, I think we should nip this in the bud."
"What exactly are you trying to say? You're even using idioms now!"
"I feel like our family can't go on like this. I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of?"
“I’m afraid that over time, we’ll start to think that all of Lijiapo’s achievements are due to us! Once that mindset changes, it’s easy to go astray in our actions.”
Li Jin and Zhao Sufang are not particularly ambitious people. They are already very content with the life they have now and the success of their children.
As for turning the Lijiapo property into their own private domain, they never even considered it.
But the shock Guo Xunmin brought them this time was too great. Li Jin was afraid that one day he would lose his mind and follow in Guo Xunmin's footsteps.
Then, the couple finally agreed that Li Jin would no longer serve as the legal representative of any company in Lijiapo, nor would he hold any substantive position in any company.
The next morning, Li Xiangdong was having breakfast when the elderly couple rushed over.
When they told Li Xiangdong about their decision, he was very surprised and even forgot to drink the porridge he was holding.
“Xiangdong, our family has enough money to live on now, and your brothers and sisters are all more successful than your mother and me, so we’ve discussed it and decided that I’ll step down from my post!”
The calico cat jumped onto Li Jin's lap, its chubby body snuggling into his arms.
Li Jin stroked the calico cat's glossy fur casually, continuing the previous topic, "Sitting in this position, there are so many things that are beyond my control, and I'm caught up in so many people and things. I'm really afraid that I'll ruin my reputation in my later years."
Li Xiangdong pondered for a moment, then agreed, "I think that's a good idea. Dad, you've worked so hard for so many years, it's time to enjoy your retirement."
Li Jin remained silent.
Actually, given his age and energy, he could easily work for another ten years or so. His desire to retire now is simply because he's afraid of making a mistake.
From making this decision last night to telling Li Xiangdong, it's only been a dozen hours.
He dared not wait.
He was afraid that he might change his mind.
After all, as Kissinger of the United States once said, power is the best aphrodisiac for men.
Its appeal is self-evident.
"Dad, I think you've really made a good start."
"How so?"
