The sound of typing echoed throughout the master bedroom.
Li Xu sighed and sat on the bed, asking weakly, “Are you chatting with Mucheng?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Yes. Brother Mucheng said that he just returned from Second Aunt’s home. My second uncle is also there. The atmosphere at home seems a little off.”
Li Xu was not in the mood to care about Li Yong at all. She lay on the bed and muttered to herself, “Why is your Second Brother becoming more and more troublesome as he grows up? He was such an obedient child when she was young!”
Hearing Li Xu’s words, Ji Yuanyuan’s hand stopped moving.
She turned around and looked at Li Xu. After blinking her eyes, she asked, “Mom, are you serious?”
Are you sure it’s not because of the biological mother filter?
Li Xu sighed again, “Although he was mischievous in the past, it was just a small matter. It was nothing. But I really didn’t expect…”
He actually dared to start a group fight, and he was the one leading it.
Why was this child getting bolder and bolder?
She was only in junior high school, yet she dared to do this! If he grew up in the future, wouldn’t he be completely out of his control?
In the Qin residence, Qin Xiaojie sat on the sofa with his head lowered.
Qin Xiaomin sat on the other side with the child in her arms. The child slept soundly in her arms.
Seeing this, Li Yong bent down and whispered to Qin Xiaomin, “Shall I carry him to the bed?”
Qin Xiaomin nodded and handed the child to Li Yong.
Li Yong carefully took the child and carried him to a small room on the first floor.
After Li Yong left with the child, Qin Xiaomin looked at Qin Xiaojie, “Our parents gave you so much money, and you lost it all?”
In the first month of last year, Qin Xiaojie went to B City alone.
He had a good educational background and was very eloquent.
When he first went to B City, he found a good job.
Although he was an intern, the boss paid him a lot.
At that time, his family had advised him to work hard and not have any other thoughts.
However, Qin Xiaojie had high standards but low capabilities. He said that he didn’t want to work for others for the rest of his life.
Therefore, after working for a year and receiving his year-end bonus, he resigned after his annual leave.
At the beginning of the year, Niu Allan and Qin Zhiye gave him 500,000 yuan to start a business under Qin Xiaojie’s persuasion.
Who would have thought that in just half a year, he would return home dejectedly?
“It can’t be considered as losing everything…” Qin Xiaojie lowered his head and said embarrassedly, “I lost a small portion, but most of it was taken away by my partners.”
Hearing this, Niu Allan who was sitting in the middle of the sofa covered her chest in anger.
“What sin have I committed? Why are all the children so disobedient? Are you two sent by the heavens to punish me?”
Qin Zhiye frowned and looked back. Seeing that Li Yong had not come out yet, he scolded him in a low voice, “If you want to talk about Xiaojie, then talk about Xiaojie. Why did you drag other people into this?”
His daughter and son-in-law had been married for two and a half years, and his grandson was already more than two years old. During this period of time, he had seen how his son-in-law treated his daughter.
Although his academic qualifications and family background were indeed a little lacking, he could earn money and treat her daughter well.
Moreover, he was close to home and often brought his daughter and grandson home. He would fight to do anything at home.
Sometimes, this son-in-law was even more useful than Qin Xiaojie, his own son.
Unfortunately, Niu Allan still couldn’t change her mind. She would mock him from time to time.
Fortunately, her son-in-law had a good temper and did not argue with her.
If she met a petty son-in-law, wouldn’t her daughter be angry?
Qin Xiaomin was a little angry when she heard that, “Mother, if you continue to be like this, I won’t care about this matter anymore!”
Even Qin Xiaojie said weakly, “Mother, don’t talk about Brother-in-law anymore. Speaking of which, Brother-in-law even lent me 30,000 yuan!” “What is it? When did you borrow it? Why didn’t 1 know about this?” Qin Xiaomin exploded when she heard that.
Qin Xiaojie didn’t expect Li Yong to not tell Qin Xiaomin about this.
He stammered, “All, this is actually the case…”
Coincidentally, Li Yong came out of the bedroom.
Qin Xiaomin shot him a look, and he was a little stunned.
When he went in, wasn’t everyone still criticizing Xiaojie?
Why did it suddenly seem like they were targeting him?
Li Yong slowed down his pace and came to Qin Xiaomin’s side in surprise.
“You lent money to Xiaojie?” Niu Allan asked.
Hearing this, Li Yong rubbed his head and said in a silly manner, “Yes, 1 just happened to have some spare money on hand, so 1 gave it to him. He’s in a hurry to use it. We’re all family.”
“Aren’t you harming him?” Niu Allan scolded.
Li Yong was stunned.
He thought that his mother-in-law wanted to thank him for lending Xiaojie money.
Was she going to criticize him?
Did he make a mistake in borrowing money?
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaomin and stammered, “How did 1 harm him? 1 lent him money out of goodwill. He said that he had a project on hand and didn’t have enough money, so 1 lent it to him.”
“Where did you get the money? Have you learned how to hide your money now?” Qin Xiaomin frowned.
Li Yong heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that his wife was like his mother-in-law, complaining that he had lent money to his brother-in-law.
Now, it seemed that although his wife and mother-in-law were both angry, they were angry in different ways.
He explained, “No, this 30,000 yuan happened to be from selling a batch of vegetables. He said that he needed it, so I transferred it all to him. 1 didn’t give it to Big Brother and the others. I thought that the next time I sold it, 1 would give it all to Big Brother. I’ve given you all the money at other times. I didn’t keep a single cent for myself.”
“Really?” Qin Xiaomin didn’t believe it.
Li Yong nodded vigorously, “Of course, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, go home and search.”
Qin Xiaomin nodded in satisfaction.
After nodding, she looked at Qin Xiaojie and asked, “What did you borrow the 30,000 yuan for?”
“That business partner of mine told me that my money was frozen, so he asked me to take out some money to smooth things over. But who would have thought…” Qin Xiaojie said in a low voice.
“In the end, even the 30,000 yuan was cheated away, right?” Qin Xiaomin sneered.
Niu Allan interrupted. She looked at Li Yong unhappily and said, “Why didn’t you ask him what he wanted to do with the money and you borrowed it? Great, he had lost all his money. Your father and 1 have worked hard for half our lives. How many 500,000 yuan can we have?”
Hearing Niu Allan’s words, Qin Xiaomin was a little unhappy, “Mother, what does this have to do with Li Yong? It’s not right for Xiaojie to borrow money from him. Xiaojie won’t be happy if he doesn’t lend it, and you won’t be happy if he does! Besides, if Xiaojie doesn’t tell the truth, how would Li Yong know what he’s going to do with the money?”
Seeing that Niu Allan was about to open her mouth again, Qin Xiaomin quickly continued, not giving her a chance to speak, “Besides, why doesn’t Xiaojie dare to borrow money from me? He knows that all our money is with me, but why doesn’t he dare to borrow from me? You pick the soft ones, don’t you?”
