"It's alright. The market index has recently risen to 4,000 points, and the money I invested has doubled. I have more money in hand now, so I'm thinking of letting the kids broaden their horizons." Li Xingguo's lips curled up, and for the first time in many years, he felt confident speaking at home.
"Now that Xingguo has made some money, he wants to take care of you two. You two aren't short of money, so Xingguo is thinking of buying you some nice clothes that you'll be comfortable wearing."
Dong Yun quickly expressed her filial piety on behalf of her husband. Although Li Xingguo had earned some money, it couldn't compare to his parents-in-law's. Not to mention anything else, just the two relocation compensations his family received must have amounted to over a thousand yuan.
Tackling the two elders won't work; the only option is to cultivate goodwill. Even if he can't give them more, he'll be grateful if they can share the profits equally.
She knew that the second son's family was hardworking and their parents-in-law were willing to live with them. The third son knew how to please his parents-in-law, making them proud. Both families had sons, but her family only had one girl. Her maternal grandmother didn't love her, and her maternal uncle didn't love her either.
"Thank you, my eldest son, for remembering your father. I'm also benefiting from your kindness." One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Li Mancang said these polite words.
Li Xingguo: "Mom and Dad, I didn't have the ability before, but now I earn a lot, and I will take better care of you in the future."
Li Mancang: "Just take good care of your own family, you don't need to worry about us."
"Dad, I know we're well-off. This is just what I wanted as your son, and it's not much."
The third brother felt a toothache when he heard Li Xingguo speak. He was trying so hard to show filial piety by sending such a trivial gift, like a mouse shaving a cat's whiskers, desperately trying to curry favor.
The atmosphere was unusually harmonious. The third brother muttered a few words to himself, thinking that he was getting old and no longer liked to compete. Let Li Xingguo show off if he wanted to.
Dong Yun: "Dad, we came from my grandpa's place. Grandpa and Grandma have already started moving?"
Li Mancang: "Yes, it's been moved. That location is good; the developer wants it, so they've moved it first."
"Then where did my grandparents go? Did they go to my second uncle's place? We don't know either. We have room at home, and I have time. It would be great if my grandparents stayed with us. My second uncle's place is quite cramped." Dong Yun said with a big smile.
Li Mancang: "I didn't go back to your second uncle's place. I went to live in my second brother's big courtyard in the suburbs. It's spacious there, and it's just sitting empty anyway."
Dong Yun... that scheming second son, he's fooled Mom and Dad, and then Grandpa and Grandma. What does he want? Does he want all of the Li family's wealth for him?
“The suburbs are too remote. It’s more convenient to live in the city. Xingguo, ask Grandpa and Grandma tomorrow. If they think it’s inconvenient, they can bring us here. It’s just so happens that our daughter is going abroad soon. I have nothing to do at home, so I can take good care of you.” Dong Yun is not missing any opportunity to show off.
Li Xingguo looked at Li Mancang, who remained silent. If he wanted to ask, he could. The old man was old, but he wasn't senile.
Seeing that Li Mancang didn't object, Li Xingguo said, "Alright, I'll call Grandpa tomorrow and ask what he thinks."
Dong Yun smiled so hard you could see her tongue. "I'll definitely take good care of Grandpa and Grandma. Mom and Dad, you can rest assured that Grandpa and Grandma are coming to stay with us."
Yuanyuan pinched the third child hard. His great-grandparents had gone to his uncle's place. Where were they going for summer vacation? They were only going abroad for a few days. He didn't want to go to the Su family when they came back.
The third son knocked Yuanyuan's hand away. Grandpa and Grandma can't eat or drink anymore, so what's the point of going to Li Xingguo's place? The old lady doesn't have the energy to deal with them anymore.
Yuanyuan looked at her father with a face full of disappointment and frustration. She said he was the most favored youngest son in the family, and this was how he turned out. Did the family have no one else to spoil him?
"Dad, has the deal been finalized for this house?" Dong Yun asked again, feeling that her father-in-law was easier to talk to.
"No, nothing's been done yet, we're not in a hurry," Li Mancang said, not wanting to say anything more to avoid Dong Yun's endless questions.
"Dad, don't rush. Those holdouts will get tens of thousands more than those who left first. You must hold on until the end; tens of thousands is enough for Xiaoyuer to go to summer camp."
