The three remained silent in the car, but the man grew curious and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you related to? I've never seen you before."
Ma Linghua's eyes darted around, and she asked him in return, "Are there many people living on this mountain?"
"There are many! The mountain is full of houses, but they are quite far apart," he replied.
"Then take us to the hill where the Li family lives!" Ma Linghua didn't want her eldest granddaughter to walk anymore; it was too much of a hardship for her!
"Which Li family?" the man asked.
"Which Li family? Is there more than one Li family on this mountain?" Ma Linghua asked him.
"Hey! There are three Li families: one that runs a textbook company, one that runs an energy company, and one that runs a real estate company. Which Li family do you want to go to?"
Ma Linghua; "……………………"
Ma Lihua; "……………………"
"Grandma, which Li family does my father belong to?"
“This…” Ma Linghua looked embarrassed. She didn’t know anything about it, but she could at least tell him the name!
Seeing the two looking confused, I was speechless. How did they get in if they couldn't find the address? You know, only residents are allowed to come in.
"Young man, go to Li Fagui's house!"
"Oh! So this is Li Fagui's house... What? Li Fagui?"
"Click..."
The car screeched to a halt, but the two people inside remained completely still.
The man steadied himself and cautiously asked, "What is your relationship to Li Fagui's family?"
"I am his mother."
“I am his daughter.”
As soon as the two finished speaking, the man immediately looked them over. This... this Boss Li has a mother and a daughter? This is big news!
“Young man! As long as you take us back, you’ll get your share of the benefits,” Ma Linghua promised him.
The man didn't say anything. He drove up the mountain and soon arrived at the gate of the Li family's house.
"Hello sir! Please pay the toll, it's 2 yuan." Butler Fu smiled and held out his hand.
man;"……………………"
This is the Li family's infamous reputation for being shameless, stingy, and snobbish; they even charge money for passing by their door.
"Snap!"
The car door opened, and Ma Linghua got out, followed by her beloved granddaughter.
"Oh! Uncle Fu! This young man has a good heart, bringing me back. But I promised him a reward. Go and call Fa Gui out." Ma Linghua said cheerfully.
"Yes, madam."
After Uncle Fu left, the young man was stunned. Was this really someone from the Li family?
Just as Li Fagui was about to put his wife to bed, Uncle Fu called him out.
He appeared in the doorway in his pajamas, stared at the young man, and asked, "Are you that boy from the Zhong family? Zhong Beishan?"
The young man immediately replied, "Yes, Uncle, that's me. I don't want any reward; it was just a small favor. Now that I've brought the person back to you, I'll be leaving."
“Wait a minute, the Ma family doesn’t want to owe anyone a favor. How about this: have your dad come to sign the contract tomorrow, then we can start construction on that piece of land on Bingjiang North Road,” Li Fagui said nonchalantly.
"Mother, you're back! Come inside quickly, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside, it won't be good if they bite you and our daughter." As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down, and Ma Lihua skillfully climbed onto his back, with Ma Linghua following behind. Uncle Fu's smiling face turned cold when he saw the young man.
Zhong Beishan was utterly blinded by his fawning manner.
"Let's go! Staying any longer will cost extra." Uncle Fu looked at him with a deep gaze.
Zhong Beishan; "……………………"
Okay! He'll leave right away, immediately!
However, he was truly amazed today. The Li family, who are usually so stingy, are always trying to take advantage of others.
He felt a little panicked, so he quickly drove home and told his father about the contract.
"Where's Hehua?" Ma Linghua knew that she had also gone out. She couldn't let her get lost and not be able to find her way home, after all, she still loved her daughter very much.
“I gave her a ride back to Bingjiang Park. I was worried she would get lost, so I had to keep an eye on her.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhongguo returned, and everyone's eyes were on him.
"Wha...what's wrong?"
Looking into his wife's eyes, Li Zhongguo felt a little scared.
"Li Zhongguo, you old geezer, you're still not as good at caring for people as you think! Ha! Fish! Fish! Fish! I'll fish you to death!"
Ma Linghua's temper made everyone in the family afraid to move. Ma Hehua had excellent hearing, so she pressed her ear to the screen and listened intently before revealing a gloating smile.
"Grandma, I'm going to bed now, I have school tomorrow!" Ma Lihua yawned and went back to her room.
Li Fagui also left on his own.
No? Wait a minute? What am I going to do if you leave? Help me! Li Zhongguo was terrified.
"Linghua, I………………"
Ma Linghua ignored him, went upstairs and slammed the door shut, leaving Li Zhongguo bewildered.
"Why am I angry? What did I do wrong?" He scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
He sighed and decided not to go fishing for the next few days; he needed to appease his wife first.
Li Zhongguo slept soundly all night, but he was curled up on the sofa feeding mosquitoes.
As soon as it was light, Li Xin was arranged by his father to pick up his aunt. However, his grandfather said, "Li Xin will be staying here from now on. Pear Blossom can't be left alone to be taken care of."
Then, the whole family nodded in agreement.
Li Xin was quite satisfied with living in this villa, as his good friend also lived in the villa area on Bingjiang Mountain.
Clearly, he doesn't yet realize the seriousness of the problem.
The two got into the car, and the driver drove them down the mountain. There were quite a few children going to school; many cars were dropping off their kids at the villa.
Ma Lihua lay in the car, comfortably closing her eyes. Then she took a sip of ginseng water and exclaimed, "So comfortable!"
When they arrived at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, there was a huge crowd and the weather was hot. Ma Lihua couldn't stand it after taking a few steps.
"Xiaoxin, I'm tired."
Li Xin looked at his frail and helpless aunt, sighed, squatted at the door, and shamefully carried his aunt on his back amidst the astonished gazes of most people.
Ma Lihua had no sense of shame. She lay directly on the back of her nephew, who was several heads taller than her, until she finally stopped panting.
"Let's go!" Ma Lihua said softly.
The two attracted a large crowd. Li Xin's expression changed from initial shame and embarrassment to composure and finally calmness.
Both were in Class 1 of Grade 11, and their seats were one in front of the other and one behind the other, each sitting alone.
Several of Li Xin's close friends looked at him with sympathy, but when they learned in the restroom that the girl was his aunt and that she was in poor health, they felt even more sorry for him.
"Dude, we're not going to laugh at you."
"Yes, Li Xin, you are truly great."
"We will also treat Auntie well."
Ma Lihua; "…………………………"
She may appear physically frail, but she doesn't have a terminal illness, so there's no need for that.
