Ever since she was young, her family lived in a villa with luxury cars everywhere. There were even five to six bodyguards!
His mother, especially his father, was more pampered. He got whatever he wanted. However, after junior high school, his father suddenly said that he was tired and stayed at home. Since then, his father had never gone to work!
Moreover, her father said that he was afraid of noise and cut off all visitors!
From then on, in her mind, it became her mother relying on her university principal's salary to support the family!
The villa was still the same villa, but the luxury cars at the entrance were either given away or rusted. In the end, they had no choice but to be towed away like scrap metal.
All of this was because her father didn't live up to expectations!
Her relatives, from her oldest aunt to her two youngest aunts, to a little uncle, an uncle, and even her cousins, uncles, and uncles, were all rich and especially humble. They were nothing like her father, who rode a broken bicycle in the name of fitness. All day long, he was either bragging on the phone about tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, or fooling around outside.
Even when they went out to eat, it was always someone else who treated them. She had never seen her father willing to fork out a single cent!
Ever since she became sensible, she didn't want to follow her father to freeload!
There was nothing wrong with her father's nickname of a loafer!
Even if she wanted to study abroad, she hesitated for a long time because she didn't want to add to her mother's burden. She had seen her mother's salary. It was only ten thousand a month, and she had to support a large family. She finally gritted her teeth and told her family that she wanted to study abroad. Unsurprisingly, her father and mother still hesitated in the end.
Fortunately, her youngest aunt, who was the richest in the family, heard about this and personally came forward to take the money. Only then did her parents agree.
And her father actually said that the family didn't lack money!
However, when she arrived in America, she realized that although her father didn't have much money and bragged, he had a few rich friends. Once he got off the plane, he was picked up by a luxury car and stayed in a five-star hotel.
Then, her father gave her an unlimited amount of living expenses every month. She could ask for more when she ran out of money, and he gave her living expenses in units of ten thousand.
At one point, she wondered if her parents were hiding something.
Could it be that he was a hidden rich second generation, and his family had been training him for so many years?
She learned how to dress up, started to put on light makeup, and got to know all kinds of brands. Only then did she realize that her father was using a face cream that cost a few thousand yuan to clean his feet, just because her mother thought his feet smelled …
Alright, there would only be one day when she once again saw his father in slippers, bare-chested, fighting someone for a dollar. Only then would she realize that she had been thinking too much.
He could only sigh at the greatness of a father's love. Even if he lived frugally, he wouldn't feel wronged.
In short, she worked hard to learn from her brother and earn money as soon as possible to reduce the family's burden. Although her brother was still in university, he could earn five to six hundred thousand yuan from competitions every year!
Ever since she was young, most of her pocket money had been "tricked" from her brother!
Her mother was afraid that she would spend too much, so she had always been strict with her. Although her father doted on her, her mother was the head of the family. Plus, she wasn't rich and didn't give her any pocket money. Her father's catchphrase was, "You can talk about anything, but don't talk about money. Money hurts relationships."
Moreover, she pretended to be very obedient so that she could live up to her father's and mother's love. Especially her father, who had more and more white hair. Even though he had shaved his head, he still looked like a graying old man. She couldn't bear to talk back to him anymore.
Li Laoer, on the other hand, had no idea about all this.
Li Zhaokun and his wife's health was getting worse. Wang Yulan had to stay in the hospital for a month. Li He wanted to bring them over, but none of them were willing.
He had no choice but to go back to his hometown more often.
He Fang also expressed her support. Both of their children were growing up. Without them by their side, they felt lonely and were willing to go back to their hometown to join in the fun. Especially during the Spring Festival, Li Lan had gone on a trip abroad and Li Yi hadn't come back either. She really didn't want to spend the Spring Festival alone with the two of them.
Li Village had changed a lot in the past ten years. Basically, every family had built a two-story house. The Li family's two-story house could not be any more ordinary in the village. After all, there were always people who came later, such as rich people like Chen Yongqiang and Li Hui.
Li Long's family had settled in the provincial capital. Li Zhaokun and his wife were the only ones in the big house. They were only willing to stay in the provincial capital for a period of time when their health was not good.
"Eldest grandson, are you coming back for the Spring Festival?" Wang Yulan asked Duan Mei. She hadn't seen Li Pei for two years in a row. She missed him very much.
"I'll be back after the Spring Festival." Duan Mei was now a city person. If she hadn't come back with her eldest uncle's family, she would have brought them to the provincial capital for the Spring Festival. Now that business was getting busier, she didn't have that much time. "He said he doesn't have time now."
After Li Pei graduated from Singapore University, he stayed in Hong Kong and became a partner in an accounting firm. It was natural for him to settle in Hong Kong after that.
Wang Yulan muttered, "What's the point of going out and not enjoying the good life at home?"
"I don't like it." It wasn't that Duan Mei didn't have any complaints about her son. She really couldn't imagine how the family assets that she and her husband worked so hard for all their lives became a 'workshop' family business with no future in her son's eyes.
She had once asked her son what would make him willing to come back. Li Pei said he would give him the power and she agreed. However, when her son suggested firing her relatives, she couldn't help it. How could her son be so heartless?
Of course, she understood. After all, her son had been studying abroad and didn't have much affection for his relatives at home. She tried to let her son understand the contributions of his relatives, but her son said that if the relatives didn't leave and the accounts were not clear, he couldn't manage them scientifically.
The two of them had an argument for the first time. Then, her son left in a huff and rarely returned home.
"Where's Li Ke?" Wang Yulan asked her eldest granddaughter.
"He's not coming back," Duan Mei said angrily. "His wings won too."
Although Li Ke returned to the country after graduating from university, the number of times he returned home could be counted on one hand. Because one had to manage, the other did not, and there were frequent conflicts. It was better to meet less.
"He's old. Let's not bother too much," Li He said with a smile. "Without them, how can we not celebrate the Spring Festival?"
However, this Spring Festival, the Li family was pitifully quiet.
At the table, there were only six people, including Li Zhaokun and his wife, Li He and his wife, and Li Long and his wife.
