Chapter 580: Chapter 580: President Li!

“What could possibly happen on the first day of the New Year? That’s your elder sister’s family, and Li Guangyuan is her husband. No matter how he treats her, it’s their business. Why do you have to meddle? As the saying goes, couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end. Your elder sister has already come back to stay a few days. By now, both of them should have cooled down. You don’t have to worry about them. Just stay home and keep your mom company.”

Lin Jiadong was finally convinced, “Alright then, your elder sister and brother-in-law should be back tomorrow on the second day of the New Year, right? If I see my brother-in-law treating my elder sister badly, there’s no way I’ll let it slide.”

Mother Lin’s heart, which had just settled, was lifted again, “You kid, you’re not listening to your mom anymore, are you?”

She deliberately put on a stern face, “I’m telling you, from now on, you should focus on your studies. Don’t get involved in your sister’s family affairs. A married daughter is like water spilled away. The kind of family she married into is her fate. Your main focus should be to study hard and aim for university. Being a college student would bring glory to our Lin Family. Having a brother like you is your elder sister’s good fortune. That’s what you should be doing.”

“I know, Mom. I’ll listen to you. I won’t bother with my elder sister’s family matters anymore.”

Upon hearing Lin Jiadong’s assurance, Mother Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She also resolved internally not to involve her son in the Li family’s affairs anymore.

As important as daughters are, how can they compare to sons?

Thinking about this made her uneasy, deciding to send someone to pass a message to her eldest daughter not to return to her maternal home tomorrow.

Her eldest daughter used to be a bit sharp at home, but at least she was worry-free. Ever since she got married, she’s become more and more of a concern.

At that moment, Lin Jiadong seemed to remember something and pulled a wad of cash from his pocket, handing it directly to Mother Lin.

“I just ran into Second Sister and her husband in the county. Second Sister asked me to give this to you.”

Upon hearing that it was from Lin Chuxia, Mother Lin immediately took and counted it.

“Why is it only 50 yuan? Didn’t you ask her for more? I’ve heard that the Qin Family is now doing business and growing greenhouse crops, making a lot of money. Isn’t your brother-in-law an official now? He doesn’t come back all year, and this little money is all they give to show filial respect to their parents? It’s like treating us like beggars.”

“Even beggars would hesitate to give away this much money,” Lin Jiadong murmured, “Second Sister said she originally wanted to come back and see you and Dad, but she was afraid of bumping into Elder Sister. If Elder Sister throws a tantrum, it would be difficult for you. She also told me to give you the money quietly so Elder Sister wouldn’t know. Mom, don’t think the money is too little. Elder Sister is also your daughter. She goes back to the family house all the time, but how much money has she ever given you? Besides, it’s Second Sister who pays for my studies, just on tuition and book fees alone. You do the math. Last time when I went to take exams in the city and the capital, it was Second Sister who paid for it. All my clothes, food, and expenses at school have been covered by her. Li Youmin from my dorm went to the city with me. Among those city kids, nobody looks down on me.”

Before, he focused entirely on studying and never cared about what he wore or used.

It was only this time when he went out with Li Youmin, listening to his constant chatter, that he realized how humble a kid from the countryside could feel facing city people.

He didn’t think himself of strong will. He just knew that Second Sister gave him enough confidence.

She let him focus on studying without worrying about the disturbances of the environment.

Hearing this, Mother Lin’s expression slightly changed.

Though she didn’t know much about school matters, ever since he went to the county to study, her son never asked her for a penny. His clothes were better than those of other kids.

“She’s your sister. Isn’t that her responsibility?”

“Elder Sister is also my sister, and you’re still my mother. I’m not a kid anymore. Look at who in the village has their sister supporting their brother?”

“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you.”

Mother Lin knew that her son had been to the capital and seen the world. He wasn’t the child who accepted everything she said anymore.

So, fifty yuan is fifty yuan. It’s better than nothing.

The eldest daughter indeed frequently returns home. It’s already good enough if she doesn’t ask for money, let alone give any.

But no, how could that be the same?

Jiayi is her flesh and blood.

That little brat freeloaded on her for so many years; she should be filial.

…………..

The Li Family had no close relatives in the village, and few neighbors were friendly with them.

On New Year’s Eve, Lin Jiayi had a fight with Li Guangyuan and went back to her maternal family.

This New Year wasn’t celebrated well, and Li Guangyuan was a bit resentful towards his mother.

Yet, due to years of suppression, deep down he feared his mother, not daring to rebel.

Li Guangyuan could only stew in his anger, spending the entire first day of New Year sleeping in his room without going out.

He slept for a long time, skipping lunch, just drifting in and out of dreams.

Whether it was from too much sleep or lingering anger, Li Guangyuan had a long dream.

In the dream, he was dressed finely and no longer selling vegetables.

He owned a store, bustling with customers every day, with cash boxes overflowing with colorful bills.

Each night, he would sit on his bed, counting money for quite a while.

He no longer lived in the village. His house was spacious and bright, furnished like those on TV, stylish and upscale.

There was a big color TV on the furniture, a large refrigerator beside it, and even a small car to drive when going out.

Each day, he’d sit in his warm room, listening to reports from his subordinates.

Or they’d hand him wads of cash.

His favorite activity was counting money, endlessly counting money.

He even covered his bed with bills to sleep on.

“President Li!”

A tender voice called him President Li.

Looking towards the sound, he saw a young, beautiful woman standing at the office door.

Although her features were unclear, he felt her tenderness and admiration.

“President Li!”

Another voice called him President Li, belonging to a mature, seductive woman who sat on the armrest of his sofa, intimately wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

Her ample chest pressed tightly against him, rubbing against his shoulder.

“President Li!”

Just as he was about to enjoy the moment with his eyes closed, another voice woke him.

A scantily clad woman with permed hair, penciled eyebrows, and bright red lips was squatting before him, washing and massaging his feet.

He recognized this scene. Old Li, who sold vegetables next to him, had mentioned this.

In the Southern, big bosses knew how to enjoy life, particularly at places called nightclubs.

Women in nightclubs provided all sorts of services to the bosses.

From dining to drinking, dancing to shoulder massages, foot baths, and more, as long as you had money, they’d do anything to ensure your comfort.

Such a beautiful woman, how could he let her merely wash his feet?

Li Guangyuan thought with great tenderness.

He pulled the woman up. The sofa was too small; since another woman sat beside him, Li Guangyuan had this woman sit on his lap.
