Seeing the children's disappointed expressions, she continued, "Don't be disappointed. Mom will exchange it with you for money."
Then she pulled five big black tens from her pocket and gave one to each of her children.
The youngest of her five children is almost thirteen, so she is so generous. However, she is not very confident about her youngest son, Li Fengyu, and has warned him several times not to spend money indiscriminately.
Hu Guilan provided such a good excuse, and others naturally followed suit and repeated it.
Du Hong did the same as her and gave ten yuan to each of her three children.
As for Li Mei and Zhou Miao, they only gave ten yuan to children aged ten and above, and only one yuan to those under ten.
The child who got the one dollar was not angry. Instead, he shouted with joy and said he would buy firecrackers tomorrow.
The children who got ten yuan were even happier. In their opinion, they were getting a great deal by exchanging useless things for so much money.
Then the children thanked their mothers one after another.
Of course, there are also those who are smart, such as Li Wenbai, who feels something is wrong no matter how he thinks about it.
He felt that his father and two uncles were not such boring people who would treat useless things as local specialties.
Based on his understanding of the three people, if they really had no other choice, they would not give anything and would never fool the children like this.
Seeing that the work was done, Du Hong and the other three returned to their stools and sat down.
Some of the children were playing, some were watching TV, while Li Wenbai came over to the adults and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what exactly is that local specialty?"
"Didn't your mother say that those were pieces of paper, things we used in lieu of gifts?"
Li Wenbai curled his lips and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child. I can't be fooled so easily."
Li Xu interrupted, "Nephew, go play with your brothers and sisters. We still have something to talk about."
Hearing this, Li Wenbai stopped asking questions and left.
After he left, Li Xu couldn't help laughing. "Wen Bo is really smart. Among so many children, he is the only one who can see that something is wrong."
Hu Guilan was so happy that her back teeth were exposed, but she said, "The other children may have noticed it too, but they just didn't want to ask."
"I think so too. None of our children are stupid, they're just lazier than each other." Sun Xiu nodded in agreement, then looked at Li Xu, "Xiao Xu, do you have anything else to say?"
"I was just fooling the kid and telling him to leave quickly."
Other adults: ...
Because it was cold, everyone dispersed after chatting for a short time.
The next night.
Li Ping and Li Chen accompanied their wife back to her parents' home.
Li Xu and his wife also went to the Du family.
Seeing them, Du Hong's mother Yang Li was very excited. "Xiao Xu, we were just talking about going to your house to see you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."
Du Sen works in the motorcade, so naturally she could get the news of her return from Liu Gang and Xiao Jianping, so Li Xu was not surprised when she said this.
Li Xu responded with a smile, "I was just worried that you'd get tired, so I brought Xiaohong over right after dinner. Mom, I haven't seen you for half a year. Are you and Dad doing well?"
"Okay, fine. How are you out there?"
"I was fine outside. I could say I never suffered any hardship. I ate every meal on time."
The Du family didn't believe what he said at all. How could one make money doing business outside without suffering?
Du Ming thought he was only reporting good news, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Xiao Xu, come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I'll ask your mother to make you something delicious."
"Okay." After responding, Li Xu asked the children in the room to go to another room first.
After the child left, Li Xu got down to business. He took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to her. "Mom, this is the money I borrowed from you. Please count it."
Yang Li glanced at the envelope and didn't take it. "We didn't ask you for it, why are you so anxious?"
"I don't need it anymore, and my business is starting to make a profit."
Yang Li was stunned, staring into his eyes and asking, "Profitable so soon?"
"Um."
Seeing that there was no sign of evasion in his eyes, Yang Li knew that what he said must be true, so she took the envelope.
Li Xu took out a thin envelope from the bag and handed it over, "Mom, the bag contains the New Year gift. The money in the envelope is from Xiaohong and I as a gift to you two."
The Du family was so shocked by the envelope that Du Ming couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xu, judging by the thickness, there must be quite a lot in there, right?"
"Not a little, not a lot."
"How much is that?"
Du Hong took the envelope and put it in Du Ming's hand. "You'll know after you take a look."
Du Ming opened the envelope and counted the money inside. He couldn't speak clearly. "Two, two thousand?"
"Yes, you keep it." Du Hong grinned.
This number was set by Li Xu. She originally did not agree to give so much.
But he couldn't resist Li Xu's advice and finally agreed.
The Du family looked at Li Xu with a dazed look on their faces. How much money do you earn to give two thousand yuan to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?
When he came to his senses, Du Sen couldn't wait to ask this question.
Li Xu smiled and said, "It's not convenient to tell you the exact number, but it's quite a lot anyway."
Then he looked at Du Sen's wife Qi Wen, "Qi Wen, I remember you seemed to know the recipe for your family's medicinal bath, right?"
Qi Wen was startled. "I know. What's wrong?"
"Take some time in the next two days to get a pair and send it to my house. My parents will give you whatever you want."
This batch of medicinal materials is prepared for Li Ping.
Now that the family has made so much money, Sun Xiu is a little worried about the safety of his three sons. Later, when he learned that they were going to hire bodyguards, he felt much more relieved.
