"Is this what you learned abroad?" Ma Dianjun said gloomily. "I'm warning you, Li Hanting is now on the same level as me. If you really do something stupid, I can't protect you!"
Ma Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She replied in a muffled voice, "I know."
Seeing her obedient, Ma Dianjun's expression brightened. "Don't set your sights so high. Apart from his family background, Li Jinsheng is a good match for you. You should be more positive and get along with him well."
"Yeah." Ma Jiaojiao didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she got up and went back to the house.
Li Jinsheng's home is in a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. He has been working overtime at the company in recent days and came back suddenly.
The yard was very quiet, which was quite unusual.
Li Jinsheng frowned and just as he stepped into the house, he heard some movement in the inner room. He lifted the door curtain and took a look.
There were five or six tall men standing in the room, which was not spacious to begin with. My younger brothers and sisters were squatting in the corner, shivering, and my parents were kneeling on the ground.
When they saw Li Jinsheng, the whole family felt like they had seen a savior.
"Hey, your boss is back." The man teased, "Li Jinsheng, your dad owes me 300 yuan. Give me the money and we'll leave right away!"
Li Jinsheng didn't say anything and just took out the money. His generous behavior made everyone very satisfied and their trip was not in vain.
"No! I can't give them so much!" Li Datong said anxiously, his face flushed. "I just owe them 200 yuan."
"Huh?" The man kicked Li Datong over. "200 yuan is the principal, and I still have interest!"
Li Jinsheng took one back and gave them only 200 yuan, "Get out!"
"Is there something wrong with your ears? I said it very clearly just now. 200 yuan is the principal, and 100 yuan is the interest. Give me the interest!" The duck in the mouth cannot fly away.
"The interest rate is not so high even at the bank. Who are you trying to fool here? Otherwise, don't take the 200 yuan. Let's go directly to the police station to solve it." Li Jinsheng's voice was light. He was not afraid of them at all!
"Hey! I think you deserve a beating!" The younger brother next to him stretched his muscles and was about to go up and beat him up, but was stopped by the man.
“That’s enough!”
The man sneered, "Forget it this time, but next time I will definitely not let you go!"
Take the money and leave, the man does what he says.
As soon as he left, Li Datong crawled to his feet. The first thing he did was to take out a hundred yuan from Li Jinsheng's pocket and put it into his own pocket.
"elder brother……"
"elder brother"
His younger brothers and sisters surrounded Li Jinsheng and hugged his thighs in fear.
Li Jinsheng raised his hand and rubbed their heads, then took out some change from his pocket and gave it to them, "Go buy some buns!"
"Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, brother."
“…”
"Hey? Why are you giving them money? What can they buy at such a young age?" Li Datong complained.
He was about to leave when Li Jinsheng stopped him. "Are you going to use the money to buy more drinks? Or are you going to lose it all in one night?"
"I don't lose every time. Last time I won 300 yuan in one go. I was thinking I could win more, but I ended up losing all 300 yuan and ended up owing someone another 200 yuan." Li Datong curled his lips. "Wait, I'm going to be lucky today, I'm sure I'll win big!"
Li Jinsheng took a deep breath. "This 100 yuan is enough for our family's living expenses for two months. Why don't you keep the money to buy some food for the second child and the others? They are all pale and skinny. How can you look like a father at all?"
"I'm not worthy of being a father, but don't I still have you as my big brother? I heard you've found a very powerful wife now. You're promising!" Li Datong raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Try to marry my daughter-in-law to me as soon as possible!"
After perfunctorily handling the matter, Li Datong wanted to leave again, but Li Jinsheng stood still and said, "If you lose money again, I won't help you pay it back."
Li Jinsheng's voice was cold.
"If you don't care about me, they will beat me to death!"
Li Datong said anxiously.
"If you kill me, my family will have one less trouble."
Li Jinsheng spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Unfilial! How could I give birth to such an unfilial son like you! Get out of here! You're so bold! You even dare to meddle in your father's affairs."
Li Jinsheng stepped aside and Li Datong went out cursing.
"Is there any money left?" Li's mother grabbed Li Jinsheng's arm, her eyes full of anticipation.
“No more.”
Li Jinsheng pushed her away.
If there was a reliable person in the family, life wouldn't be like this today.
Li Jinsheng received two slaps from her. "Why did you give him 100 yuan, but when it comes to me, I get nothing? At least we should split it equally!"
“That’s enough!”
Li Jinsheng growled.
The woman was stunned and stared at him blankly, as if she was frightened by him.
"I'm here to inform you today that from now on, I'll take care of matters concerning your brothers and sisters, and I won't be involved in matters concerning you two anymore!"
Li Jinsheng said coldly: "Whether you two live or die has nothing to do with me."
"You, if I had known you were an ungrateful person, I should have..."
"Strangle me or throw me away?" Li Jinsheng asked first, "Do you think I want to be born by you? Li Hanting and I both have the last name Li. Why does he have such a status now? And I have to be reduced to working for others?! If you don't have the ability to raise children, then don't have them. Sometimes not having children is a kind act! You have five children, but how many of them have you cared for?"
It was common for Li Jinsheng to go hungry when he was a child.
Very common.
"I'm lucky enough to have given birth to you!"
The woman didn't want to tell him this.
Waving his hands, "Go away! If you don't want to come back, don't come back in the future!"
Li Jinsheng turned around and was about to leave when the woman said, "Don't even think about paying less. I'll go to the company to find you tomorrow!"
"How dare you compare yourself to Li Hanting? Why aren't you a teacher?"
"I've been working for so long, but I haven't seen you make any money!"
“…”
When Li Jinsheng went out, he ran into his younger brothers and sisters who were coming back from buying buns.
His little face was dirty, and his mouth was full of oil as he ate the delicious buns.
"Brother, this is for you."
"Brother doesn't want to eat, you guys eat it!"
Li Jinsheng raised his hand and pinched his little sister's face, which was so thin that there was no flesh on it.
"If you don't have food to eat in the future, go to the company to find your brother. Remember! You must use the money I give you to eat. Don't worry about your parents' affairs. If they beat you, run away. Remember?"
“Remember!”
"Be good, eat your buns before going back!"
Li Jinsheng returned to the company. The spacious, clean and bright environment here was in stark contrast to his home.
Only when you stay in the office can you feel his identity.
"Mr. Li, this document requires your signature."
The assistant knocked on the door and entered the room, "Please check if there is anything wrong."
It is an order for purchasing steel bars for the construction site.
Li Jinsheng frowned, "Is the price so low this time?"
