"You call this stupid?" Wang Yulan said angrily, "How can you be so careless in finding a partner? It's either a basket or a vegetable. "
Old Li's family was no longer what it used to be. If she, Wang Yulan, wanted to pick a son-in-law, of course she had to be careful. Even if she was anxious about Four's marriage, there was one thing she was not muddle-headed about, and that was that even if her son-in-law was one in a million, he could not be a crooked melon!
"When did Four bring him home and see him in person?" Li He was puzzled. Finding a boyfriend was such a big thing. It was fine if Four did not tell him, but there was no reason for him to bring him home without saying a word.
This was not Four's habit.
"No, I looked at the photo!" Wang Yulan's voice was still very loud.
"Looked at the photo?" Li He continued to ask, "Who gave it to you?"
"I got Xiao Ding to take it!"
"Oh." Li He did not expect Ding Shiping to be involved in this. This fellow had long been sent to do demolition work.
"Then how do you know that Four has a girlfriend?" Li He was getting more and more curious.
"Little Ke, that girl."
"How did Li Ke know?"
"I heard it from his dad."
"Is it reliable?" Li He realized that he was the only one who was still kept in the dark.
"The two of them are holding hands!" Wang Yulan was even more excited.
"Did you ask Four?"
"I asked a few questions, but she got impatient and hung up on me. Don't you think it's infuriating?"
"Then I'll ask. Don't be angry, leave this matter to me." Li He took charge.
"Then you can't just agree to it." Wang Yulan repeatedly warned over the phone.
After hanging up, Li He scratched his head and said to He Fang, "Four is not blind, such a smart girl."
He Fang sneered, "I've always been smart, but I'm still blind."
"Fine, I, your boss, am not good enough for you. Thank you for thinking so highly of me and lowering my status to marry you." Li He cupped his hands and smiled apologetically.
"At least you have some self-awareness." He Fang chuckled.
"Comrade He Fang, you're too arrogant."
"Then what do I want from you? Your money?" He Fang asked back.
Li He held his head high and said, "Beautiful bodies are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. Where else can you find such a profound, thoughtful, cultured, and thoughtful person?"
He Fang said with a smile, "Trust me, there are definitely many interesting souls, but in this day and age, don't people only look at your face? Who cares about your soul?"
He Fang said confidently, "Do you believe that if I go out and wave my hand, those who are willing to follow me can line up from the West Mountain to Mentougou!"
He Fang looked Li He up and down and said disdainfully, "Second Brother Li, don't say that I'm mocking you. Just wear this and don't change your clothes. Just go out like this and don't tell anyone who you are. If someone pays attention to you, consider it my loss. You can't afford to play with a beautiful body, and interesting souls won't like you."
"Hey, can't your mouth be more virtuous!" Li He shook off his green military coat and said angrily, "You're slandering my character. Even if I can afford to play with you, I won't play with you!"
He Fang said, "Try it if you have the guts."
Li He turned his head and ignored her. He lowered his head and drank his porridge.
He Fang began to serve the two children breakfast and then sent them to school.
Just as their mother left, He Long sent the old lady back.
"Did you bump into your sister?" Li He asked He Long.
He Long smiled and said, "There's only one rut in the snow. Why can't we bump into each other? Li Yi seems to have been beaten up again. Look, she's crying on the cart."
"This girl is getting more and more disobedient." Li He couldn't do anything to his daughter, so he could only rely on He Fang. He then said, "There's rice in the pot. Have some."
The old lady said, "Eat. They're still going to school. Even if you don't eat or drink, you still have to cook for these two living ancestors."
"Is He Juan okay?" Li He asked.
He Long said, "What could be wrong? She's just asking for a beating. If I had my temper in the past, I wouldn't have been able to beat her up!"
Li He gave him a look of disdain. He had just been teared up by his daughter yesterday.
The old lady said, "I scared her last night and it seemed to work. She insisted on sleeping with me at night and told me to put in a good word for her aunt. She didn't want to go back to her hometown no matter what.
I promised her that as long as she did well in the exams, she could continue to study here. This morning was different. In the past, she didn't bring all her books to school, but this morning she brought them all.
She's so young and already so scheming. What will happen when she grows up? "
Li He smiled and said, "You're hoping that she'll become stupid. This girl is smart. As long as she works hard, her grades won't be bad."
He thought for a moment and said, "When you're free, you should go back to your hometown and settle the paperwork. If not, the policies will change in the future and you won't be able to take the college entrance exam here."
He Long patted his head. "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. I don't have time to go back."
The old lady said, "What can you do all day? How could you forget such an important thing? Since you're busy, I'll take some time to go back. I'll settle it."
At the same time, she hadn't returned to her hometown for three or four years and missed it dearly.
He Long said, "I'll go back at the beginning of spring. It's useless for you to go back. Only my parents can do it."
"Then let's go back together. We have to round your father's grave this year. The wormwood on it needs to be removed." The old lady frowned and said, "If I don't go back, you won't know what to do."
He Long agreed and said, "Then I'll go. I have to go to the restaurant. I haven't been there for two days."
Li He nodded. "Go do what you need to do."
Seeing the old lady enter the backyard, He Long suddenly said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."
"When did you become so polite?" Li He was curious.
"I want to partner with Chen Youli." With that said, he looked at Li He's eyes.
"He looked for you?" Li He didn't show his anger on his face.
"No, no." He Long hurriedly waved his hand. "I was the one who looked for him. His KTV is too profitable. One day of it is equivalent to one month of my restaurant."
"He agreed to partner with you?" Li He continued to ask.
He Long said bitterly, "If you don't agree, he won't dare to."
He couldn't understand why the fearless Chen Youli would act like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw his brother-in-law.
"KTV …" Li He's fingers drummed on the table rhythmically. He said seriously, "I said don't be angry. You're not cut out for this. Focus on your restaurant. If one doesn't make money, then open two. If you don't have enough money, ask your sister to give it to you."
A place where crooks and honest people mixed together was not a place where He Long's personality could handle.
He Long said, "I'll just invest some money. He'll be in charge of the management. I have all the money."
"Then do you think Chen Youli will be short of money?" Li He asked.
"He's a big boss. Of course he won't be short of money." He Long thought about it and said, "So, there won't be any risk in investing."
Li He said, "As far as I know, he hasn't started any chain stores or joined any franchises. Are you going to invest in his company or his individual store?
Even if he's short of money, what's the use of a million? "
He knew He Long's family background. He still had two houses, but the most he had was less than two million.
He Long smiled awkwardly. "I want to invest five hundred thousand."
Li He waved his hand and said, "Then it's even more useless for him. If he's short of money, he can get a loan himself. One loan is tens of millions. If he really cooperates with you, what does he want from you? "
"Sigh, I understand." He Long reacted quickly. Even if Chen Youli was really willing to let him invest, it was probably because of his brother-in-law.
"Li Kuo is opening a supermarket. I heard that business is good. You should go and take a look when you have time." Li He helped He Long think of a new path.
"You want me to open a supermarket?" He Long was stunned. "It's like opening a restaurant. We can't be idle at all. We can't be separated."
Both of these were businesses that required manpower.
Li He took a sip of tea and finally said, "There's another one. You can see if you're willing. It's similar to a restaurant. Pinsong's building in Xuanwumen is about to be completed. There's space planned for a hotel. Do you want to open a hotel?"
He Long and his wife were not very educated. There were very few things they could meddle in.
