First, Xiaojie invested more than 500,000 yuan for nothing. After that, her Mother had a heart surgety. In total, they had spent almost 500 to 600 thousand.
In addition to the expenses they had spent over the past few years.
This money was almost all of their familyâs assets.
After the surgery, the family did not have much money left. In addition, her father had retired. It was simply not enough to rely on that little pension.
Li Yong paid for the subsequent treatment fees.
There was also Xiaojie. He was already so old, but he never let them have a peace of mind. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His family was already in such a situation. If he was told to quickly find a job, he would complain about everything. He still wanted to be his own boss.
However, he was not cut out to be a boss. They had only given him money for the past two years and had not received a single cent.
Qin Xiaomin felt aggrieved for Li Yong.
When his father-in-lawâs family was in power, they did not take any advantage of it and suffered a lot of cold stares.
Now that his father-in-lawâs family was in trouble, the entire family had to rely on him.
Li Yong naturally knew what Qin Xiaomin meant. He glanced at Qin Xiaomin through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, âWeâre all family. Why are you saying this? No matter what, Mother helped us raise Li Nian.â
When his son was young, it was his mother-in-law who raised him up.
Even though she fell ill, his father-in-law retired after the surgery.
When the child was not in kindergarten, his father-in-law took care of his mother-in-law and the child at the same time. He was also very tired.
Every time Li Yong thought of this, he would not feel wronged or tired.
Wasnât this how a family was? They quarreled and supported each other.
Besides, when he was still a poor boy, didnât his wife not despise him and think of ways to marry him?
Now that his father-in-lawâs family was in such a situation, he had to support the family for his wifeâs sake.
Most importantly, after his mother-in-law experienced life and death, she was different from before and treated him much better.
After that, the two of them were silent and soon arrived at Qin Xiaominâs house.
The villa was still brightly lit. They were probably waiting for Li Yong and the others.
Li Yong parked the car and went to the back seat to help Qin Xiaomin open the door.
Qin Xiaomin carefully carried the child out of the car.
Li Yong was in front and helped Qin Xiaomin open and close the door. Soon, he sent the child into his own small bedroom.
After settling the child down, Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong went to the living room.
Qin Zhiye, Niu Allan, and Qin Xiaojie were all there.
Qin Xiaojie sat there with a long face, his head drooping.
Qin Xiaominâs heart skipped a beat and she asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Qin Xiaojie would only behave like this when he got into trouble. He had been like this since he was young.
Qin Zhiye was furious, âThe gym he invested in has failed again.â
Qin Xiaomin was so angry she could not help but say, âIâve told you before that itâs impossible to build a gym in that location. You didnât listen. Now, itâs gone, isnât it?â
Qin Xiaojie mumbled, âMy friend said he had done research before. He would definitely make money, so 1 invested. Who knewâ¦â
Qin Zhiye was so angry he wanted to slam the table when he heard that Qin Xiaojie was still unrepentant.
However, when he thought about how his grandson was sleeping, he gritted her teeth and said, âFrom tomorrow onwards, get out and find a job. Our family doesnât keep idle people. Also, donât even think about getting money from us. You wonât have a single cent in the future.â
âNot a single cent?â Qin Xiaojie was shocked. âFather, are you going to starve me to death?â
Qin Zhiye ignored Qin Xiaojie. He looked at Li Yong and sighed, âXiao Yong, donât give him a single cent in the future. Itâs not easy for you to earn money. 1 remember the money you lent him. 1â11 return it to you.â
Qin Xiaojie borrowed money from Li Yong several times.
He had also borrowed money from Li Yong to invest in the gym.
After all, he was Qin Xiaominâs younger brother. Moreover, if Qin Xiaojie hadnât given him the idea, he and Xiaomin wouldnât have been able to get married so quickly.
Thinking of this, Li Yong was too embarrassed to refuse every time.
However, every time he lent it out, Li Yongâs heart ached.
He had earned this money bit by bit.
Lending it to Qin Xiaojie was no different from beating a dog with a meat bun.
Now, with his father-in-lawâs words, Li Yong decided not to borrow it again.
Niu Allan couldnât bear it, so she tugged at Qin Zhiyeâs sleeve and was about to say something.
âHow long are you going to keep spoiling him?â Qin Zhiye asked immediately. âWhich child in his age still act like him? Itâs because you always indulge him that he never grows up. When Xiaomin was his age, she had already joined our unit and worked honestly.â
Niu Allanâs temper was much more restrained now. She didnât refute Qin Zhiyeâs words and just looked at Qin Xiaojie silently.
Qin Xiaojie looked embarrassed and didnât dare to speak.
After a moment of silence, Qin Zhiye looked at Qin Xiaomin and deliberately asked, â1 heard that Li Miao is back? How is she?â
Qin Xiaomin knew what Qin Zhiye meant and immediately said, âItâs pretty good. Her final exam results are not bad. This time, she brought Gong Wenbai back with her. The two of them have decided to get married this year.â âItâs time to get married. Xiao Gong isnât young anymore, right?â Qin Zhiye nodded.
When Qin Xiaojie heard Qin Xiaominâs words, he froze.
Niu Ailan looked at her sonâs current state and regretted it for a moment.
âYeah, other than being a little older, thereâs nothing wrong with it.â Qin Xiaomin nodded. âThey bought a house in the center of B City and added Miaomiaoâs name to it! My parents-in-law said that they didnât want a betrothal gift, but he insisted on giving it. Itâs tentatively set at 300,000 yuan now.â
âThree hundred thousand?â Niu Ailan was speechless. âDid he give all his assets to your parents-in-law?â
Hearing her words, Qin Xiaomin was a little unhappy, âWhat for my in-laws? My parents-in-law donât want this money. Itâs not like Miaomiaoâs two brothers canât make money. Why would my parents-in-law want this money? Theyâll definitely add some money to buy a house for Miaomiao as a dowry or let Miaomiao bring it back directlyâ
After a pause, Qin Xiaomin glanced at Qin Xiaojie and said, âBesides, Gong Wenbai earns a lot in a year. This 300,000 yuan was probably not even one-tenth of their savings. The reason why he gave us so much is because he wants to make his stance clear to our family.â
When Qin Xiaojie heard this, he lowered his head even more.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomin didnât want to say anything more.
âAlright, Father, Mother, itâs getting late. You guys should sleep early!â
After Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong returned to their rooms, Qin Xiaojie also went upstairs listlessly.
Looking at her sonâs back, Niu Ailan sighed and got up, slowly returning to her room.
After returning to his room, Qin Zhiye hesitated and wanted to speak.
However, Niu Ailan was one step ahead of him and said in a low voice, âI really regret it now.. What have 1 done?â
