When her mother-in-law wanted to dress up, He Fang was naturally willing to help and even gave her a watch.
Wang Yulan dressed up properly and walked around the doorstep of the house guiltily for a few days. She did not dare to go too far. When she saw that no one looked at her strangely, she picked up the basket and went to the market.
She was still the same person, but the vegetable seller's attitude towards her was different. She did not need to bargain and the vegetable seller even took the initiative to lower the price. He picked the freshest and cleanest vegetables. She completely understood the meaning of Li Zhaokun's saying that clothes make the man.
Therefore, when her son wanted to give her a jade bracelet, she accepted it without hesitation and wore it on her hand happily. The only thing that she was not satisfied with was that her son actually gave one to Old Madam He. She would not sell it herself. Wouldn't she have to return it to her son if she let go?
However, her mother-in-law was not of the same surname. She might have to give it to an outsider.
The outsider she was talking about was naturally He Long's family.
Li Zhaokun felt unbalanced. His wife and in-laws were all wearing gold and silver. Then he looked at his bare hands. What was the meaning of this?
He repeatedly hinted to Li He that his biological father also loved beauty and needed to dress up. For example, if he saw a beautiful watch and chain on the street, he would come back and brag about it to test his son's reaction.
However, Li He did not even care about him. As long as it helped his biological father increase his wealth, he would not give in to it. It had always been his principle.
Since his son ignored him, Li Zhaokun could only change his strategy. He said a few words to his daughter-in-law, "That old man who runs the sales agency is in his seventies or eighties and still wears a gold watch. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"
He Fang naturally had to explain, "Dad, that doesn't care about age."
Li Zhaokun took the opportunity and said, "Can I wear it too?"
"Of course." He Fang's answer was not so natural. She felt that she had fallen into her father-in-law's trap.
Li Zhaokun asked seriously, "Then it's not expensive, right?"
He Fang smiled embarrassedly. "It's not expensive. If you like it, I'll give you one tomorrow."
Li He had just loosened a green bracelet for his mother, fulfilling his duty as a son-in-law. She was now her daughter-in-law. Since her father-in-law had spoken, she had no reason to refuse. Moreover, although this father-in-law had always put on airs, he had never gone overboard. At least, he was not as difficult as her mother-in-law.
She rummaged around the house and found more than ten watches in the cabinet. She picked one by one and finally, she found a gold watch.
These were all given to Li He by others, but Li He had always been unwilling to wear them because they were tacky. She didn't know the specific price of these gold watches, but she recognized the brands. They were definitely not cheap. Presumably, they would be given to her father-in-law.
The watch was already on Li Zhaokun's wrist. Although Li He complained about He Fang, he didn't say much. He knew his wife was doing it out of kindness.
The watch was already on Li Zhaokun's wrist. Although Li He complained about He Fang, he did not say much. He knew that his wife had good intentions. Li Zhaokun wore a shirt with his sleeves rolled up high. He made sure that people could see his gold watch.
Occasionally, the words Rolex and Swiss came out of his mouth and he only mentioned the price. Aiya, this watch was more than fifty thousand yuan. Everything else was good except that it was dirty. After saying that, he even blew two breaths on the mirror. This thing looks like it's fifty or sixty thousand yuan, but it's not accurate. Let me match it with you.
One day, he saw a jade thumb ring on Old Qin's hand. That aura of wealth made him even more envious.
He remembered that Wang Yulan had once failed to find a thimble. His son had given her a jade thumb ring!
He tried hard to remember where he had put it!
In a drawer in a wing room, he finally found the jade thumb ring. Of course, there were other jade objects in it, but he was obsessed with the jade thumb ring, so he only took this one.
In order to maintain his dignity, he played smart and opened the drawer. He held Li Lan in his arms and asked him to take it out to play in the yard.
When his son came back and passed by, he shouted at Li Lan, "Oh, my little ancestor, what should I do if you fall and hurt yourself?"
"Then keep it." How could Li He not know his father's tricks? How tall was Li Lan? How much strength could he have? The cabinet was so tall that it could not be easily opened. He added, "Don't sell it. It's very expensive."
Li Zhaokun asked curiously, "How much is it?"
"It's very expensive." Li He did not dare to say the price directly. Otherwise, Li Zhaokun would really sell it for money. If he didn't haggle over it, he could only blame himself for being careless. The basement could not hold anything, so he put it in the wing room. There were many small things in it, such as jade, snuff bottles, and teapots.
Under Li Zhaokun's disdain, he locked all the wing rooms.
Li Zhaokun used the gold watch and the thumb ring as the standard accessories on the streets. He did not want to fall behind others in terms of attire.
In order to match his attire, he would occasionally buy fried dough twists and candies for his grandchildren. He would also generously say that they did not need to keep the change.
This was only limited to situations with many people. Li Zhaokun's money did not fall from the sky!
He even said it very loudly, "Aiya, it's not easy for you. A few years ago, I was just like you, carrying a suitcase and traveling all over the country. But I sold needles and thread. It's so hard. Just thinking about it makes me cry. "
He said it as if his style today came from his hard work.
He was happy to give advice to young people. "Young man, I'm telling you, don't be anxious. Take it slow. Young people suffering a little may not necessarily be bad in the future. Only by suffering can you become a person above others! "
With the advice of such a successful person, the young man felt like he had met a confidant. He was even more courteous and polite, expressing that he was very willing to listen to the elder's advice.
Encountering someone who knew him well, Li Zhaokun did not show any weakness. He even dared to compare his parenting experience with someone like Old Man Qin.
"You're a cultured person. You've read some old books. As for me, I'm not stingy. " He said this purely out of modesty. "But I understand the old saying, a filial son is born under a stick, and a loving mother will have a loser son! You don't believe me, all five of my children are good at studying! Two university students. You can go everywhere and ask about them. Don't brag! "
Old Man Qin actually listened seriously and nodded his head affirmatively. "People like your son are asking for a beating!"
Aiya, when he thought of his precious granddaughter, his liver would ache.
With regards to Li Zhaokun's smug look, Li He felt that it was fine as long as he was happy. He did not care much and was too lazy to ask.
But now that the thumb ring was gone, he had to ask.
He did not care about money, but that did not mean that others could cheat him of his money!
He did not know which b * stard had stolen his own father's thumb ring!
He called Da Kui and asked him to investigate.
After Little Wei's career had been promoted, this area now belonged to Da Kui. He was also in charge of the underground security of this area, just because Li He lived here.
It didn't take long for Da Kui to reply. All the living people in this area couldn't hide from his eyes.
"I often collect old goods in this area. Everyone knows each other."
Li He asked, "Can you find him?"
Da Kui nodded. "I've already sent someone to Liulichang. They'll be able to pull him out soon. Brother, don't worry. In the morning, someone saw Uncle Li talking to the old goods collector as usual. They often chat, but I didn't expect them to be selling a jade thumb ring this time. Otherwise, I would have stopped them. "
