Chapter 1446 Are You the Most Worrying One?
Pan Xiaoying stared at her husband, her eyes changing from confusion to anger, and then from anger to resentment.
She knew that Li Ye received royalties from overseas, but she didn't know that Teacher Ke also received royalties. And now it seems that she is the only one in the family who doesn't know about it.
This made Pan Xiaoying feel that the Wen family did not treat her as a daughter-in-law, but as an outsider.
Wen Guohua simply explained lightly, "Things are not what you think," and said nothing more. This attitude made Pan Xiaoying even more unhappy.
Pan Xiaoying said helplessly to Teacher Ke, "Mom, so you are the richest man in the family! I almost went to the bank to borrow money. I really didn't recognize you."
Teacher Ke looked at Pan Xiaoying and said calmly, "Li Ye wrote a novel and asked me to help translate it. Although Xiaoyu said she would pay me royalties, I didn't take it seriously, so you shouldn't take it seriously either."
Pan Xiaoying blinked and looked at Li Ye again.
But before Li Ye could speak, Wen Leyu said calmly: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to look at Li Ye. I'm in charge of the money. If you have anything to say, just tell me later. Let's eat first."
At the beginning, Li Ye agreed to distribute the royalties of "Ice and Fire" in a "31:31" ratio. One of the shares went to Teacher Ke, but Teacher Ke entrusted Wen Leyu to manage it, so the money is now under the management of Wen Leyu.
"So the money is yours! Doesn't that make things easier? Come on, let me toast my parents and wish them good health in the new year and every year."
As soon as Pan Xiaoying heard that the money was in Wen Leyu's hands, she immediately became the atmosphere of the family dinner. She was in high spirits as if she was sure to get the money, but she was extremely upset in her heart, because the person who gave her the most headache in the family was her sister-in-law Wen Leyu.
After finishing their meal, Li Ye and Wen Leyu took the initiative to clean up the dishes and go to the kitchen, so they could take the opportunity to chat.
Wen Leyu said somewhat displeasedly, "Why did you reveal our mother's money? That money belongs to our mother, not to Big Brother or Big Sister-in-law. Aren't you causing trouble for our mother?"
While washing dishes, Li Ye said, "When your sister-in-law discussed the cooperation with you, did she say that it was to earn a small fortune and provide security for your niece?"
Wen Leyu tilted his head slightly: "You guessed it again?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "Do we need to guess? She can't say it's for her own ambition, right?"
"Actually, I think my sister-in-law has become a little arrogant recently. I'm not talking about money, but she actually left my brother-in-law here alone on New Year's Eve and went back home with the children."
"We have to help Big Brother improve his status in the family, and we have to make Sister-in-law understand that making money is not as important as imagined. Harmony is the foundation of a prosperous family, and every decision she makes will affect everyone."
Li Ye packed up his things and said to Wen Leyu seriously, "Whether it's making money or any other decision, it must be made with the consent of both husband and wife. One person can't accommodate the wishes of the other, otherwise when the storm comes... Do you understand what I mean?"
“.”
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye deeply, then said reluctantly: "I understand what you mean, but that money belongs to our mother and it's not tens of millions. I don't want to let my sister-in-law squander it in vain."
"Isn't it tens of millions?" Li Ye asked puzzledly: "Did you follow Xiao Ruo to invest in stocks? Did you lose or make money?"
Wen Leyu raised his chin and said proudly, "Of course I made money. How could I lose money? I made a lot!"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Then go and discuss it with our mother in detail and bring her in as well. Don't let your sister-in-law make the decision alone in the future."
Wen Leyu tilted his head and looked at Li Ye, then suddenly smiled and said, "You want our mother to put pressure on your sister-in-law, right?"
Li Ye smiled gently and said, "Whatever you think is fine. My sister-in-law is too impatient. She is far from you and our mother."
Wen Leyu nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll go discuss it with Mom."
The young wife was very smart and immediately understood Li Ye's intention.
Pan Xiaoying is from the Pan family, which has deep roots in the telecommunications industry. Pan Xiaoying's recent radical ideas are most likely influenced by the Pan family.
Now Li Ye asked Teacher Ke to use his own private money to support his son and daughter-in-law, in order to bring Pan Xiaoying to the old Wen family and avoid some unpredictable and uncontrollable risks.
After a while, Wen Leyu called Pan Xiaoying to Teacher Ke's room, and the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law started talking in private.
Li Ye, Wen Guohua and his father-in-law Wen Qingsheng acted as babysitters, watching the three children, Xiao Baoer, Xiao Douer and Xiao Linlin, playing together.
Wen Guohua glanced at Li Ye and said with a hint of complaint: "You shouldn't bother our mother. She already has a lot to worry about."
Li Ye looked at Xiao Linlin who was playing with building blocks with her cousins, and wondered if her brother-in-law wanted to use Xiao Linlin's mouth to let her "mimic" her mother.
"I was thinking of asking my mother to talk to my sister-in-law. Making money isn't that important. At least having a family is more important."
"Tsk, it's strange she would listen to me!"
Wen Guohua was somewhat disdainful and had obviously given up trying to dissuade Pan Xiaoying.
But at this time, Wen Qingsheng said, "Guohua, your idea is wrong. Xiaoying has many children in her family, and her childhood experiences were different from yours and Xiaoyu's, so she is trying her best to show off to others."
“.”
After hearing what Wen Qingsheng said, Li Ye finally understood.
This is just like some women I have seen in my previous life. Most of them came from ordinary families, so they all tried their best to be "motivated". Not only did they improve themselves, but they also forced their husbands to be motivated.
But sometimes they fall into a misunderstanding. They dislike their husbands for being old-fashioned and not having any ambition, but when they turn around, they find that their husbands are the second generation of the rich and have tens of millions of yuan in savings.
With this financial situation, do you still need to earn those five or six thousand yuan to make a living?
Now Li Ye revealed Teacher Ke’s private money to let her know that the family is not short of money. She can make some money when there is a suitable opportunity, but she should not force it if there is no opportunity, and she should not take unnecessary risks.
But after Wen Qingsheng explained the whole thing to his son, Wen Guohua still seemed unconvinced and lay on the sofa in a daze.
Li Ye became interested and began to observe Wen Guohua quietly. After more than ten minutes, he suddenly caught something from the look in Wen Guohua's eyes when he looked at his daughter.
[Could it be that my brother-in-law is an old-fashioned person who despises Pan Xiaoying for giving birth to a daughter?]
In the 1980s and 1990s, the mainland was in the era of "it's better to have only one child, regardless of gender". No matter whether you were an ordinary person or a senior official, most people could only have one child. Cases like Li Kaijian's were definitely rare.
Some people in later generations analyzed that this situation, to a certain extent, limited the solidification of the power class. People born in the 1950s and 1960s, who had several children, could not prevent their class decline. By the time of Wen Guohua's generation, the desire for an outstanding heir was even stronger.
You only have one child, she is your biological daughter after all. If she is useless, all your savings will probably disappear after you retire.
Regardless of whether you admit it or not, the higher you go in the power pyramid, the lower the proportion of women. Therefore, cases like Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying are very detrimental to family inheritance.
Thinking about the entrepreneur who liked to wear cloth shoes and ended up having a bunch of sons decades later, Li Ye couldn't help but become alert.
I thought Pan Xiaoying was the one most vulnerable, but it turns out my brother-in-law is the one who's most worried? No way!
