Chapter 307: What If I Made the Right Bet

Qin Xiaomin turned over and looked at her younger brother. “Xiaojie, did you know? I really love him. I’m willing to do anything for him! I’ve thought about everything you’ve said. Even if I don’t have a good life in the future, I won’t regret the decision I made today. Besides, I’ll only know if I regret it after I’ve tried. What if I made the right bet?”
Qin Xiaojie opened his eyes and stood up after a long time. “You’re like an idiot now, and your mind is filled with him! Forget it. I’ll sleep in my own room!”
He stood up and walked out as he said, “Don’t think about running away. Be obedient for the next few days or I will tell Father and Mother.”
“Thank you, Xiaojie!” Qin Xiaomin said in a whisper.
Qin Xiaojie paused for a moment, then strode away.
Qin Xiaojie let out a long sigh after the door was closed.
His sister’s brain for love was really too scary.
What kind of charm did that man have to make her so devoted to him?
After leaving the Qin family, Li Xu brought them to the bank.
All the money in the other three passbooks had been deposited into Li Yong’s.
Li Zhiming asked for a pen and paper from the bank staff. “Write it down. Write an IOU for your Brother and Sister. Forget about your mother and me.”
Li Yong nodded and was about to write.
Li Lei stopped him. “Father, there’s no need to write. We’re all brothers. It doesn’t matter if he don’t return it.”
However, Li Zhiming said, “No, he must write it! Take it back and give it to Xiaoning for safekeeping!”
Li Yong lowered his head and had already started writing.
“Also, tell Xiaoning that your Mother and I urgently need money for Li Yong for now. However, your mother and I know what we’re doing. We’ll give you as much money as we’ve given Li Yong, and we won’t let you suffer a loss.”
“Why are you saying this now?” asked Li Lei with a bit of embarrassment. “You can give your money to whoever you want. We have no objections!”
Li Zhiming didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and stared at Li Yong writing.
Li Yong had two copies of each IOU.
He gave one to Li Xu and Li Lei and kept one for himself.
“Big Sis, Brother, I know you’re good to me,” he said seriously. “I promise I’ll pay you back as soon as possible.”
Li Xu and Li Lei looked at each other and did not say anything.
After leaving the bank, Li Yong and the others were about to go home.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” Li Xu was a little worried.
The two punches from Qin Xiaomin’s younger brother seemed to be quite heavy.
“It’s fine, it’s nothing,” Li Yong shook his head.
Li Xu didn’t say anything else. Li Lei drove the tricycle and left after dropping her off at the entrance of the district.
Li Xu didn’t go home. She went straight to the shop.
It was already half past eight. Under the parasols outside the shop, a few old ladies were sitting around and chatting.
When they saw Li Xu coming over, a few of them stood up.
“Little Li, why are you so late today? We’ve been waiting for more than an hour.”
“Yes, many people came, but they left when they saw that the door was closed. You’ve lost a lot of money today.”
These old ladies came to buy vegetables almost every day. When they had nothing to do, they would stay in the shop for a while and accompany Li Xu to prepare the vegetables.
Li Xu was very familiar with them.
As she opened the door, she exchanged a few words with the old ladies.
On the other side, Li Lei returned home and handed the IOU to Meng Xiaoning.
Now that Meng Xiaoning was living in the village, she focused on taking care of the child at home.
Seeing the IOU, Meng Xiaoning didn’t say anything and just stuffed it into the cabinet next to her.
“How’s the matter?” Meng Xiaoning asked as she patted her daughter.
Li Lei was afraid that Meng Xiaoning would overthink things, so he did not mention a single word of what Li Zhiming had said to the Qin family.
He only said, “He was beaten up. We’ve said what we should say. He has apologized. I don’t know what the Qin family is thinking!”
Meng Xiaoning did not doubt him, but her heart did not waver much.
From her perspective, she naturally didn’t want Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong to be together.
After all, Qin Xiaomin’s family background was so good.
If the two of them really became in-laws, they would definitely be compared.
Her in-laws would probably be biased toward Qin Xiaomin subconsciously.
Even if the in-laws were fair, the gossiping neighbors and distant relatives would still compare the two.
Of course, she did not have any decision-making power in this matter.
Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin already had a child, so they were most likely going to be together.
Of course, there were not only disadvantages to becoming an in-laws, but also benefits.
Qin Xiaomin’s family was rich, so she was probably not the kind of person who would be petty.
In the future, he would not have any conflicts with her over money.
How many brothers’ families had quarrels over money?
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoning let out a long sigh.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Li Yong came over early in the morning.
When he knocked on the door, Li Xu and Zhang Kun were still asleep!
Zhang Kun opened the door with his eyes half-closed and was surprised to see Li Yong standing at the door with a bone in his hand. “Why are you here so early?”
“You can sleep as much as you want, Brother-in-law. I’m going to make breakfast,” said Li Yong with a fawning smile.
Zhang Kun looked at the clock on the wall. It was only six o’clock.
Looking at the corridor, the sky was not completely bright yet!
“What time did you wake up?” Zhang Kun said in a low voice.
“I woke up at five o ‘clock. I went to bed early last night, so I couldn’t sleep this morning.” As Li Yong spoke, he had already taken the bone to the kitchen.
Seeing Zhang Kun still standing in the living room, Li Yong quickly said, “Brother-in-law, you should go back to sleep. I’ll wake you up when I’m done making breakfast!”
Zhang Kun played with Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang until past n pm last night, so he was indeed very sleepy.
He and Li Yong were Master and Disciple, and they had known each other for many years. So, he didn’t stand on ceremony with Li Yong and went straight back to the bedroom to continue sleeping.
When he returned to the bed, Li Xu automatically leaned over and snuggled into his arms.
Zhang Kun, who was holding his wife, thought happily. If he liked to make breakfast, then let him do it. It would be great if I could hug my wife and sleep a little longer!
People without wives are so pitiful!
Li Yong was in the kitchen, washing the fresh bones that he had just bought in the morning.
After a simple blanch of water, it was placed into the clay pot.
He had wanted to use the water from the tap, but he remembered his sister’s instructions. He took the ladle and scooped water from the bucket next to him, then put it into the clay pot.
He didn’t know what was wrong with his Eldest Sister. She didn’t use the faucet that was placed properly, but she had to use a bucket as she did at home.
Big Sister also said that there were some vitamin C slices in the water, and the water in the bucket was filtered, so it was good for the body to drink it.
I’ll believe Big Sister for once!
After the bone was ready, Yong Li went to the living room and turned on the TV.
There was no rush to make breakfast. There was still time to do it at seven o’clock.
He turned on the TV and lowered the volume to the lowest.
He lay on the sofa and yawned..
