Chapter 711: Isn’t It for You that I Hide the Money?
"Okay brother, I'll call you immediately if something happens. It's been almost five minutes. Let's hang up first!"
Little sister Li Ying took the time to hang up the call with Li Ye and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After arriving on Hong Kong Island, Li Ying realized how high the prices in this place were. A meal would cost more than ten yuan, so how much more would it cost to make a phone call? After all, a bowl of noodles in the Mainland costs only a few cents, but a long-distance phone call costs several yuan!
Although they arrived at Hong Kong Island and stayed at Jin Peng's house, they couldn't let others pay for the phone bill, right?
To be honest, Li Ying is not a stingy child, but she came to Hong Kong Island with more than 8,000 yuan in her pocket. She originally thought she was rich! After counting the treatment expenses, medical expenses, etc., the eight thousand yuan seems to be really not enough.
"What were you talking about with my brother just now?"
"What?"
Li Ying was carefully calculating various expenses in her mind, but suddenly she heard her sister Li Juan across the way scolding her coldly.
Li Juan said sternly: "What you just said to my brother about the gap is what you should say? Are you ashamed?"
"Are you ashamed?"
Li Ying's eyes blinked brightly, and then she said funnyly: "What am I ashamed of? It's Xia Yue and Cui Aiguo who are ashamed, and Tong Mingyue is ashamed!"
"You still don't admit it! You still don't admit it, mother, look at Xiaoying."
Sister Li Juan directly pulled Han Chunmei over and started scolding Li Juan: "Xiaojuan is only fifteen this year, but she said something 'open' to her eldest brother. Are those nasty things said by the old woman what he should say?" What does my brother think? What does my sister-in-law think?"
Li Juan was very angry and tried to pick up her sister's collar with both hands several times, but in the end she gritted her teeth and reasoned with her.
Since entering college, Li Juan has not used "force to suppress" her sister very much. Instead, she has tried her best to be civilized, reasonable, and persuade others with virtue. If she had done this before, she would have done it long ago.
But her younger sister Li Ying sneered and said: "It's ridiculous, you can't understand the point at all. When my brother heard these words, he not only didn't feel embarrassed, but also felt relieved~"
"."
Li Juan was stunned for a moment, as if she had grasped the so-called "key point."
And her younger sister Li Ying has already started the "answering doubts" mode and said to her sister: "College student, you must have memorized these two poems, 'Wang Shibei sets the day of the Central Plains, and he never forgets to tell Nai Weng for family sacrifices', right?"
When a great revenge is avenged, the people lying in the coffin all want to listen and relieve their anger.
Now that Big Brother’s enemy is in trouble, shouldn’t we tell Big Brother immediately? When the eldest brother was rumored to be Huang Shiren in school, didn't you know? "
"Of course I know. At that time, we were still thinking about going to that Xia Yue to make trouble! If our brother hadn't moved to Erliangdian in the end, our grandfather also said that he was not allowed to cause trouble to that Xia Yue, which affected our brother For her college entrance examination, I will definitely put two bags on her head."
"Don't worry, the days are still long!" the little sister Li Ying said coldly: "In the past, we wanted to call her aunt, and we couldn't afford to offend her. Now she is just a child Mingyue. Two big bumps on her head are nothing. "
"Well, let's discuss this matter in the long run. She has spoken ill of our mother all these years, saying that our mother has brought bad luck to the family. I must let her know what bad luck means in the future."
"."
Han Chunmei was stunned as she listened.
She has been cautious for so many years, but she never knew that her two daughters were once so bold, and now it seems that they may be even bolder in the future.
"What are you two going to do? Don't you think the house is not chaotic enough? If you dare to cause trouble for me, see if I don't beat your butts to pieces."
Han Chunmei raised her palms, pretending to be vicious, and severely intimidated her two daughters.
This is not to blame Han Chunmei for being timid. In the 1980s, a divorced woman with two children became shorter than others. She had to swallow the injustice she suffered. How could she dare to be stubborn and seek revenge?
"Oh, oh, don't worry, mother, I promise not to cause any trouble for you. The two of us are just talking about our hatred, how dare we hit someone on the back of the head with a stick!"
Li Ying reacted very quickly and immediately coaxed her with a smile. Anyway, Han Chunmei was very easy to coax.
But this time Han Chunmei said sternly: "Your sister definitely doesn't know how to do it, but you can't say it. You are getting bolder and bolder. I knew you hid money before, but I didn't expect you to hide so much."
Her sister Li Juan also immediately turned against her and scolded her: "Even if you have eight thousand yuan, you really dare to hide it. Do you still have my mother in your eyes?"
The trip to Hong Kong Island by the three of them was almost aborted because when they came to Hong Kong Island, Li Kaijian gave Han Chunmei two thousand yuan, and Han Chunmei also saved some salary, so Li Kaijian thought it would be fun. One lap is enough.
But Li Kaijian didn't know that Han Chunmei was going to the hospital! The medical expenses on Hong Kong Island are simply ridiculously high. Giving birth to a child on the mainland only costs a few dozen yuan, but taking a film on Hong Kong Island can cost ten times that. How can poor people afford a hospital?
Han Chunmei was too embarrassed to speak directly, what if she got pregnant with a girl again? Then I still have to fight, it’s just a waste of joy.
That's why the youngest daughter Li Ying was forced to show her 8,000 yuan, otherwise Han Chunmei would not dare to come.
Han Chunmei was very shocked. In just one year, Li Ying had hidden more than 8,000 yuan just on Sundays, winter and summer vacations.
Although Han Chunmei no longer asked Li Ying to "turn over the money to the public," she no longer believed that Li Ying was "cowardly."
If she is timid, there will be no bold people in the world.
"If I don't hide money, what do you spend it on?"
Li Ying, who was scolded by her mother and sister, jumped up three feet high and started to complain like an old farmer at a party recalling the bitterness and sweetness of the past.
"Yes, I hid money, but wasn't I hiding money for you? If it weren't for me this time, could you come to Hong Kong Island? Still complaining about this and that, how about I buy you tickets and you go back now? It's you, sister"
Sister Li Ying pointed at her sister Li Juan: "Are you counting on our brother to pay for your dowry when you get married in the future? When the time comes, our mother can't come up with the money, isn't it embarrassing? Can I not hide money?"
"Are you trying to say that I don't need to hide the money I make, right? Just your big mouths leaking everywhere, letting others know that selling clothes is so profitable, then what can I make?"
"."
Sister Li Juan and mother Han Chunmei were shocked by Li Ying's full aura. Li Ying was young, but every word she said was reasonable and tough.
What a joke, if you have money, you can speak with confidence, right?
If you keep complaining, I will buy you a ticket and send you back.
Li Juan was very ashamed, and said sincerely with her head down: "Xiaoying, don't worry about the dowry. Half of our mother's expenses for coming to Hong Kong Island will be on me. I will definitely give it to you after I find a way to make money."
This is the first time that Li Juan, the elder sister, has bowed her head to her younger sister.
As the eldest sister, she let her younger sister become the pillar of the family. What kind of talk is this? You must know shame and then be brave.
But Li Ying said impatiently: "Go to school! If you rely on you to make money, what use am I? Don't think about this and that in the future.
Making money is important, but it is not the most important thing. I may not be able to get into Beijing University! Our mother still has to rely on you to keep up appearances."
"."
Li Juan was really depressed. She really couldn't understand why the youngest child in the family was so responsible?
However, Han Chunmei asked Li Ying in surprise: "Xiaoying, are you going to take the entrance exam to Peking University too?"
Han Chunmei knew that Li Ying's grades had improved rapidly this year, but Han Chunmei always thought that Li Ying was passively studying for the sake of "making money", and she never thought that Li Ying also wanted to take the entrance exam to Peking University.
Li Ying's eyes blinked again, and she laughed: "Not necessarily. According to my analysis, it is getting harder and harder to get into Peking University. I will go to any school I can get into."
Han Chunmei couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and then said excitedly: "Xiaoying, as long as you get into a university, even if it is a junior college, I will set off 10,000 firecrackers at the door of my house to let everyone see that my daughter is no worse than my son."
"That's right," Li Juan nodded and said: "After I arrived at Peking University, I realized how lucky I was to be able to get in.
Xiaoying, don't feel pressured. In fact, you are so good at making money, it doesn't matter which university you go to."
Li Juan was telling the truth.
Now when she thinks of Li Ying's 8,000 yuan, she feels powerless.
Even if I get a job after graduation, my annual salary is only 1,000 yuan! No wonder it's popular to "go into the sea" recently! It is said that some teachers in the school go to the park to set up stalls at night to do "second jobs".
But Li Ying shook her head and said seriously: "You are wrong. If a good university is not important, why did my brother take the Peking University entrance exam?
Why did Liu's sister-in-law come to Hong Kong Island to have a second child? Isn't it because she wants her child to go to a better university here? You study hard, you will become an official in the future, and I will make money. Neither of us can do without each other."
"."
Han Chunmei and Li Juan were silent.
After a long time, Li Juan solemnly apologized to her sister: "I'm sorry, Xiaoying, I blamed you wrongly before. You can see the long-term better than me."
"Of course," Li Ying smiled proudly: "In terms of learning, I am definitely not as good as my brother, maybe even worse than you, but in terms of vision and calculation, I am only a little worse than my brother. You are not as good as me."
"Duoduoduo~"
Li Ying is proud! Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
The mother and her two children opened the door and saw that it was Jin Peng's wife Liu Qiaorong.
Although Liu Qiaorong gave birth to a son as her first child, she decided to come here to give birth to her second child after hearing An Xiaolian's talk about the situation in Hong Kong Island. If she hadn't given Han Chunmei courage this time, Li Ying's instigation would have been useless.
After Liu Qiaorong came in, she took out a stack of golden Hong Kong dollars and handed it to Han Chunmei with a smile.
"Aunt, this is what brother Li Ye asked me to bring to you. Count it. There are exactly 100."
"."
Han Chunmei quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, we brought money here. How can we spend Xiaoye's money again? No need."
"Aunt, you are being polite."
Liu Qiaorong smiled and stuffed the Hong Kong dollars into Han Chunmei's hand: "Li Ye said that in Hong Kong Island, money can solve all problems.
You can keep it in your hand and not spend it, but you must not be without it. We are unfamiliar with the place and can't be short of money."
"This, this, this, it's not appropriate. Xiaoye is already married. His money is all for his small family. If I spend his money again, people will poke my back."
Han Chunmei was still very entangled. After all, she was a stepmother-in-law. If Wen Leyu knew that Li Ye gave him money and the young couple had a conflict, she would be guilty.
But Liu Qiaorong answered Li Ye's call and came to give the money. How could she take it back? In the end, she put the money down.
After Liu Qiaorong left, Li Juan and Han Chunmei counted the stack of Hong Kong dollars, and it turned out to be a full 100,000 yuan.
The mother and daughter, who were originally struggling to make ends meet, immediately felt relieved.
But the younger sister Li Ying was worried.
She didn’t talk to her sister and mother, but she was struggling in her heart: “Does my brother know the purpose of our coming to Hong Kong Island? What does he think?”
“Oh, I can’t guess! In terms of calculation, I am not a little bit worse than him!”
