Chapter 1625 If we trace back three generations, doesn't that mean we also have to trace our mother and her two children?
When Li Ye and Li Juan returned home, before they could even tell everyone about Li Juan's boyfriend, a group of people surrounded Li Juan.
A group of people cut a cake and ate longevity noodles. Xiaodun'er, Xiaobao'er, and Xiaodou'er even sang a happy birthday song for everyone.
Although Li Juan has lived a good life over the years, she has never experienced such a "grand" birthday since she was a child. At that moment, she was so moved that her cheeks turned red and her eyes filled with tears.
However, after these family-oriented programs, everyone's true colors were revealed, and the most hated part for older women—the pressure to get married—began.
"Xiao Juan, after this birthday you'll be twenty-six, a year older than the national recommended marriage age. Aren't you afraid of the gossip from your aunts and uncles? Your mother is!"
Your brother gave you a deadline of 25, and now that you've already turned 25, you should at least give us an explanation.”
“.”
Li Juan blinked, forcing back the tears welling in her eyes, and finally looked at Li Ye for help.
She and Cao Jianqing haven't even made things clear yet! Li Ye just spoke with the other party's leader today. How can she, a young woman, possibly explain herself?
Li Ye coughed lightly and smiled, saying, "People from the Li family always keep their word. Xiao Juan is dating someone recently, but both of them are rather shy and haven't fully committed yet."
I happened to know the young man's boss, so I called to ask if he was dating anyone. The young man clearly stated that he considered Xiaojuan as a potential partner.
"Oh~"
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and then one by one they began to question Li Ye.
"Did you ask the young man where he's from, what his parents do, and how many siblings he has?"
"Yes, yes, Xiaojuan is shy and hesitant to ask questions. How can you trust her? As her older brother, you need to take better care of her. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event."
“.”
"Hold on, hold on, how can I ask so many questions over the phone? I'll ask them when we meet another day! But don't worry about one thing, that young man's workplace is special; before he starts working, the government will investigate his family for three generations, so his family background is definitely clean."
“.”
After hearing Li Ye's explanation, everyone felt much more at ease, except for Han Chunmei, who still had some hesitation.
"Special organization? It's not one of those organizations where you're stuck with the state your whole life and never see the light of day, is it?"
"No, no, it's just a research institute that does projects for the country. I can come and go as I please. Otherwise, how would I have run into Xiaojuan!"
Han Chunmei awkwardly agreed, "That's good. Although it's quite honorable, it's a bit tough on the family members."
Little Li Ying, seeing the pimple on her mother's forehead, quickly stomped on her foot: "Special work units are great! The government takes care of you your whole life; if you're bullied, the government will stand up for you!"
"Hey, Xiaojuan makes a good point. Although our family isn't afraid of being bullied, having a strong employer to rely on will still be beneficial for our future."
Why do many "small-time millionaires" in various places want their children to work in government agencies?
Because they are neither high-achieving nor low-achieving, lacking high-level connections, their tens of millions or even small fortunes become the targets of some people.
When you get old, this money will become a hot potato in your children's hands. You have to be wary of all sorts of dirty tricks. They might even arrange for you to go fishing at sea.
However, if the children work within the system, then forceful acquisition is less likely to work, at least giving the children a chance to "reason and explain the law".
"Oh, right, right, hehehe, I was just ignorant."
Han Chunmei chuckled, which was considered an acceptance of Li Juan as her boyfriend. However, the somewhat forced smile on her face puzzled Li Ye.
What's wrong? Is she dissatisfied with this son-in-law? But Xiaojuan hasn't taken a liking to any of the other wealthy young men either!
In fact, the Li family's opinion on their younger sisters' marriages has always been to "seek stability." They don't ask for their partners to be from wealthy or powerful families; they only ask for a peaceful and safe life.
Cao Jianqing's situation was very "stable." He worked in a special department doing research, and his life was destined to follow two lines: "research and life." He was relatively less involved in alcohol, women, wealth, and power.
However, Li Ye felt somewhat uneasy if Li Juan were to find a brother-in-law like Hao Jian or Jin Peng.
Hao Jian is one thing, but Jin Peng... well, it's only natural for a big shot in the underworld to have a few female confidantes. Even Li Ye couldn't say anything about it.
But Li Ye didn't know that he had really wronged Han Chunmei. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Han Chunmei called her two daughters together.
Then Han Chunmei said worriedly, "If they're going to investigate three generations back, they'll definitely investigate the relationship between your father and the three of us. You can't hide the fact that you have two fathers."
"Why would I hide it from him? So what if I have two fathers? Does he expect me to kill one of them?"
Li Juan was taken aback, then said with a hint of temper, "Mom, if he shares your feelings, then I must have been blind. When two people are together, neither should look down on the other, and neither should think they are superior."
Little sister Li Ying also said unhappily, "Mother, you really can't change your soft temper of being inferior to everyone. Who dislikes whom?"
Putting aside the fact that my sister is now a promising young cadre, and ignoring how many people are currying favor with us because of my brother, just look at me—I'm a multi-millionaire now.”
Li Ying patted her small chest and said proudly, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll take care of everything for my nephew and niece, from studying abroad to buying a house and getting married."
With our family's circumstances, where can we find someone like Cao Jianqing? If he wants to be my brother-in-law, I'll have to teach him a lesson first.”
"You little brat, don't cause any trouble. Your sister finding a boyfriend is her business; we shouldn't interfere. Hey, what did you just say? You have a hundred million?"
Upon hearing her youngest daughter's words, Han Chunmei instinctively advised her not to make things difficult for Cao Jianqing, but after a moment's realization, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
Li Ying blinked her big eyes and remained silent.
Some childhood memories are ingrained in Li Ying's bones, and now her feet have unconsciously begun to move outwards.
"You're a billionaire? You stop right there."
Han Chunmei's eyes sharpened instantly. She scanned Li Ying from head to toe for a while before suddenly saying sharply, "It's not safe for someone your age to be managing so much money. Give me an account tomorrow."
“.”
Li Ying's eyes widened immediately.
Over the years, she has racked her brains to make money and tried her best to curry favor with her second sister, Fu Yiruo, to get her involved in finance, all to support her sister and mother.
After finally accumulating some savings, they have to go back to the old days of hiding New Year's money.
"You're dreaming. I'm an adult, and it's none of your business how I manage my money."
"Go ahead and try, and see if I can help you or not."
“.”
