Li Ping asked as he got up and dressed, "Xiao Xu, was there anyone knocking on our door?"
"Yes, I originally thought it was the waiter knocking on the door, so I opened the door and scolded him. But after I finished scolding him, I found out that the people knocking on the door were the two people from the city government."
Li Chen urged, "What's next, second brother?"
"After that, I pretended not to see them, closed the door, and went back to bed to continue sleeping."
If Li Xu had revealed the identities of the two leaders, Wang and Li, both of them would have been embarrassed. Moreover, he was sleepy at the time and had no intention of talking to them, so he had no choice but to do this.
Li Ping was extremely amused. "If you pretend you didn't see anything, they'll definitely pretend they weren't there. If you complain to them about this, they might even find a scapegoat to vent your anger on you."
Li Xu laughed immediately. "I think the same as you, and I'm sure they won't come today."
At this time, Li Chen asked, "Second brother, are you really not going to donate here?"
"I don't plan to."
Li Chen hesitated. "My younger sister doesn't plan to pursue a master's degree at Wuhan University. Wenbo will graduate next year, so it's fine for the two of them, but the other children will have to go to school here for several years. And if you donate to Wuhan University, they will most likely give them a few more places. Then there will be even more children coming. If you don't donate, what will happen to the children if the local government bothers them?"
As long as the government here wants to investigate, they will definitely be able to find the Li family members among the Wuhan University students.
Li Chen was not worried that they would cause trouble to the younger generations, but he was worried that they would try to please the younger generations and leak the situation of the Li family.
This goes against the Li family's policy of concealing information from the younger generations.
Don't think this is an exaggeration. Let me put it this way. Even in ten or twenty years, some local government leaders will be willing to treat others as their grandsons in order to attract investment, not to mention that donations are now more popular than investment.
"It's okay. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't be able to hide it for two years. As long as they don't bother the children during these two years, it will be fine."
Hearing this, Li Ping and Li Chen were both stunned. "What do you mean it can't be concealed for two years?"
"It's just that our identities can't be concealed anymore," Li Xu explained. "I estimate that the situation will become clear in two years at most. By then, countless people will flee to the coastal areas to work and do business, and some people from my hometown will definitely go there too. Given our reputation in Shenzhen, it's only a matter of time before they hear about our identities."
In fact, Li Xu did not finish explaining the reason.
Another reason was that when China and Britain began negotiations on the ownership of Hong Kong Island in 1982, Li Xu would take this opportunity to make Xu Xiangqian a top tycoon known to everyone in Hong Kong Island. At that time, the top leaders would definitely play the emotional card to win over Xu Xiangqian, such as pushing him to return to Tang County, his nominal hometown.
In this way, the Li family’s affairs will also be exposed.
A look of joy appeared on the faces of Li Ping and the other man.
Returning home in glory has been the dream of countless Chinese people for more than two thousand years, including them.
This dream is about to come true. How can they not be happy?
Li Chen quickly asked, "Second brother, doesn't this mean that we can drive home openly at that time?"
"Yeah." After responding, Li Xu said with a smile, "Don't be too happy too soon, or you'll have a headache later."
If the Li family shows off their wealth, they will definitely be in trouble.
Not to mention anything else, just finding a job is enough to give you a headache.
Li Chen grinned and said, "I don't have any headaches. It's our parents who should be worried."
Li Xu glanced over and said bluntly, "If those people from your father-in-law's family come to your house, won't you have a headache?"
Zhou Miao's brother and sister-in-law, and his younger brother and sister-in-law are all well-known members of the Li family.
In the past, when they met on the street, as long as the other party did not speak first, the Li family would pretend not to see anything.
"It's not a headache. My wife said during the Chinese New Year last year that she would stop associating with other people after my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away."
Li Ping couldn't help but shook his head. "Third brother, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are still alive. If they really lose face and ask you to help their sons, what will you do?"
Now Li Chen couldn't laugh anymore.
Although the other people in his father-in-law's family are not good, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are really good to him and his wife.
If the two old men asked, it would be difficult for him to refuse.
Seeing him like this, Li Xu had to give him some pointers, "Third brother, go back and have a good talk with Xiao Miao about this matter and see what she thinks. If she insists that no one can help her, then just ignore it. If she is also embarrassed, then you can discuss with her about helping her.
There are two options. One is to do what my elder brother and I did, and give my father-in-law some money and then show us a way. The other is to just take the money, not show us the way, and let them do whatever they want."
Li Ping continued, "Third brother, if you choose to help, don't wait for the old man to ask. When the time comes, you and Xiao Miao should take the initiative."
Li Chen thought about it, then nodded.
In fact, Li Ping and Li Xu knew in their hearts that Li Chen would have to give the money in the end.
When their family situation is exposed, both of them will help their father-in-law's family. If Li Chen doesn't, even if his father-in-law and mother-in-law don't say anything, outsiders will complain when they find out.
Especially Zhou’s relatives and friends.
They have seen how the old couple of the Zhou family treated their daughter Zhou Miao over the years.
Now that Zhou Miao is rich, she doesn't care about her parents anymore. Those people will curse her to death behind her back.
Li Chen, the son-in-law, can't escape either.
If this gets out, the Li family's reputation in Tang County will inevitably be affected.
