Chapter 13

The next day, Li Caiying ran to Li Guocheng for advice without having breakfast. Li Guocheng originally knew that the old lady came here just to ask for money, and he had been mentally prepared. It would definitely not work if he didn't pay a penny.

Supporting the elderly is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. If he objects, won't the old lady in the countryside make this matter known to everyone? He can't afford to lose face. The money must be given.

50 yuan a year, 350 yuan in 7 years, not a penny less. This price seems a lot, at least the sons in the countryside can't afford it, but those sons are around to take care of the elderly, Wang Shouzhi is equivalent to sharing it out, so it's naturally different.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhi is a technical worker in the steel plant. Although his salary was only 22 yuan when he first started working, he was promoted three levels over the past six years. He now earns 42 yuan a month, or 252 yuan a year.

Qian Shulan did not favor one over the other. 50 yuan a year was neither high nor low, and there was no room for complaint.

However, Li Caiying is a person who values money as her life. When she was a child, her mother eloped with a rich man and abandoned her when she was only five years old. Since then, she has been very tight-lipped about money. Only money can give her a sense of security.

So, spending so much money at once made Li Caiying very angry.

In one night, three blisters appeared in my mouth, which were burning and painful.

Obviously, Qian Shulan cooked vegetarian dishes, but she insisted that Qian Shulan deliberately made the dishes salty and was deliberately trying to harm her.

Qian Shulan glanced at her coldly, as if she had guessed something, and glanced at her expressionlessly, "If you don't like it, just go to the cafeteria. Do you think salt is free?" She was a person who had experienced the future, so she naturally knew the health of a low-salt diet, so she didn't put too much salt. Li Caiying was just looking for trouble.

Li Caiying's eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she asked Li Guocheng to weigh her waist.

Li Guocheng was afraid that his daughter would get angry, so he could only comfort her and would definitely help to plead for her.

When Li Guocheng came to visit, Qian Shulan was busy in the kitchen. She had just received 350 yuan and was in a good mood.

She really doesn't care about Lee Chae-young. Although Lee Chae-young is her transformation target, she never thinks that she has to please others to improve her three views, because that would be too unfair to herself. She must find out Lee Chae-young's weaknesses in order to transform her accordingly.

From her observation, although Li Caiying was arrogant and cold-blooded, she was still scheming, otherwise she would not have been able to hold Wang Shouzhi so tightly in her hands without any resistance.

Based on her observations over the past few days, Li Caiying seemed to be a brainless and impulsive silly girl, but she pretended too much, so it backfired and made her even more afraid.

However, in her previous life, when she was working part-time, she had encountered all kinds of difficult customers. At that time, she was just a low-level employee with no advantages at all. But she still lived a good life.

Now, her identity is her biggest advantage. So, even if Li Caiying is scheming, she can handle it.

Qian Shulan hummed a little tune and sang a song, and quickly cooked two dishes.

Alas, it is useless to have good cooking skills without the ingredients. Qian Shulan felt a little sorry.

"In-laws, are you busy?" Li Guocheng saw that Qian Shulan was in such a good mood. Compared with his daughter's anger, he sighed in his heart, thinking that his daughter was still not steady enough.

When Qian Shulan saw Li Guocheng coming in, she hurriedly asked him to sit down and spoke in the same manner as her original self, "Oh, my dear, I am so rude. I just came here yesterday and wanted to visit you after dinner. What a coincidence!"

As he said that, he poured him a cup of tea.

Seeing her acting like a hostess here, Li Guocheng frowned tightly, but then relaxed his brows. "My dear, Caiying has a bad temper. We are all old people, so we should be more open-minded. If Caiying does anything wrong, please tell me and I will teach her a lesson."

Is this true or not? Qian Shulan complained in her heart. However, it is really enviable that Li Caiying has such a good father.

Qian Shulan shook off the thoughts in her head and smiled warmly, "What are you talking about, my in-laws! As an elder, how can I argue with her, a younger one? That would be so embarrassing! For example, last night, she ordered Xiaowu to wash her feet. Did I say anything to her?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Guocheng was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out!

This! This! This is ridiculous! He wanted to cover up for his daughter, but when he met the half-smile eyes of his in-laws, he couldn't say anything.

Your daughter bullies someone else's son, but the other person didn't even say a word. What else do you want

In the end, Li Guocheng, who had a lot of great truths to say, could only say one sentence because he was embarrassed by her. After talking about this and that for a while, he said goodbye and left.

Li Guocheng walked on the road, pinched his eyebrows, and looked a little depressed.

Thinking of what Qian Shulan had just said, I felt very bad.

"My dear relatives, to be honest, our Xiaowu married your Caiying, which is indeed marrying above his station. I admit this. But when a couple lives together, you have to know the limits. Caiying orders Xiaowu around like this, and as a mother, I can pretend not to see it, but what does Xiaowu think? Is he marrying a wife? Or an ancestor? My dear relatives, you are a man, you should understand men's minds better than I do. Do you think you would be happy if this happened to you? I know you love your daughter and don't want her to suffer any grievances. But she is not someone who has a lame leg or a broken arm and can't move, why doesn't she do it herself?"

"If you think what I said is a bit redundant, then just let it go in one ear and out the other, like a gust of wind blowing by and forget about it. We are all old people, and we are all for the good of our two children. These days, I see that Xiaowu is not in a good condition. If they want to continue to live together, I think Caiying has to learn to grow up. It's not working for me to talk to Caiying, and she seems to have a lot of opinions about me. So, I'm telling you this. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not. In the future, how this couple lives, I, an old country lady, will not care."

. . .

Li Guocheng was in a very low mood, thinking that his daughter was still waiting for his reply at home, he hurriedly quickened his pace to go home.

Li Caiying was sitting at home eating, with green date pits thrown all over the floor. When she saw him come in, she didn't even say hello, and just spoke with food in her mouth, "Dad, when is that old man leaving?"

Li Guocheng's eyelids were twitching, and he looked at his daughter as if she were a stranger.

If someone hadn't told him, he wouldn't have believed that the person in front of him was actually his daughter.

When did she become like this

He has no manners, no manners, a foul mouth, and has no respect for his elders.

Li Guocheng thought about what his in-laws had said. Could it be that there really was a problem between this young couple

He sat down expressionlessly, but suddenly jumped up.

Turning his head to look, he saw a box of exquisitely packaged biscuits on the sofa. Li Guocheng frowned, thinking that biscuits packaged in an iron box must cost 50 cents a box, right

He was about to ask when Li Caiying started yelling. Seeing that his father had taken her biscuits, she reprimanded him with some dissatisfaction, "Dad, you should be careful too. I saved up a month's worth of tickets to buy such expensive biscuits, and you wasted them all."

Li Guocheng was almost amused by her, and said unhappily, "Why don't you put the biscuits on the coffee table? Is it appropriate to put them on the sofa?"

Li Caiying pouted at the coffee table, which was piled with the dishes she had just swept. There was soup splashed all over the table. If it was summer, flies would probably be attracted. She wrinkled her nose, as if she was disgusted.

Li Guocheng also looked at the coffee table, frowning, and was so angry that he imitated his in-laws and scolded, "Can't you clean up after dinner? Is your arm broken, or your leg lame?"

He was really angry! If she didn't want to do it at her parents' home, how could she do it at her own home? He really believed what his in-laws said. This daughter was really spoiled. Thinking of what his in-laws said, Li Guocheng was a little worried. If Shouzhi really lost his patience, would he divorce Caiying

He is also a man. If his wife acted like an emperor at home and did nothing, he would have slapped her in the face long ago.

Wang Shouzhi could still tolerate Caiying because he was grateful to Caiying for giving him a job and making him respectable. But everything has a time limit, and once it exceeds that limit, things will definitely go beyond expectations.

Li Caiying was also a little angry when she heard her father scolding him. Over the years, she had not only become lazier and greedier, but also had a worse temper. She frowned and retorted to her father, "Dad, I am a guest. How can I ask a guest to clean the table? Besides, I don't do housework at home."

Li Guocheng was so angry that his finger trembled as he pointed at Li Caiying, "You bastard! You are someone's daughter-in-law, how could you do this?" After all, she was his own daughter, so he couldn't bear to scold her too much. He advised her earnestly, "Caiying, listen to your father and live a good life with Shouzhi. You are a girl, but you don't do any housework and push it all to Shouzhi. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Li Caiying looked at Li Guocheng as if he was a psychopath. "Dad, have you been brainwashed by that old woman? What era is it now? Chairman M said that we women hold up half the sky. Why do I have to do housework at home? Who are you from?"

Li Guocheng rubbed his brows, softened his tone, and continued to persuade, "I didn't say that you should do it all by yourself. You and Shouzhi should take turns. Don't push it all to him. He is your man, not your servant."

Li Caiying pouted, not wanting to argue with her father. She snorted twice perfunctorily and asked about the matter she asked her father to do. "Dad, how did you talk to that old woman? Did she say when she was leaving?"

When this was mentioned, Li Guocheng had a headache. He didn't know how to persuade his daughter, "Do you really dislike her?"

Li Caiying nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, when I was little, my mother told me that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Either she wins or I die. Don't look at her smiling all day long, she may be feeling very upset inside."

Li Guocheng didn't expect that his daughter's prejudice against her in-laws was because of her promiscuous mother. He immediately got angry and slammed the table in anger, "Don't mention that bitch. Do you want to follow her example and have an affair?"

He slapped the plates and chopsticks on the coffee table, making a thud, and the soup splashed out and dripped onto the ground.

Li Caiying felt so disgusted that she stood up and walked out, "Dad, I'm leaving first. You should clean up quickly." She backed away quickly while speaking, as if someone was chasing her.

Behind her, Li Guocheng, who was so angry with her, was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
