Chapter 456: Regret it
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
First, Xiaojie invested more than 500,000 yuan for nothing. After that, her Mother had a heart surgety. In total, they had spent almost 500 to 600 thousand.
In addition to the expenses they had spent over the past few years.
This money was almost all of their family’s a.s.sets.
After the surgery, the family did not have much money left. In addition, her father had retired. It was simply not enough to rely on that little pension.
Li Yong paid for the subsequent treatment fees.
There was also Xiaojie. He was already so old, but he never let them have a peace of mind.
His family was already in such a situation. If he was told to quickly find a job, he would complain about everything. He still wanted to be his own boss.
However, he was not cut out to be a boss. They had only given him money for the past two years and had not received a single cent.
Qin Xiaomin felt aggrieved for Li Yong.
When his father-in-law’s family was in power, they did not take any advantage of it and suffered a lot of cold stares.
Now that his father-in-law’s family was in trouble, the entire family had to rely on him.
Li Yong naturally knew what Qin Xiaomin meant. He glanced at Qin Xiaomin through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, “We’re all family. Why are you saying this? No matter what, Mother helped us raise Li Nian.”
When his son was young, it was his mother-in-law who raised him up.
Even though she fell ill, his father-in-law retired after the surgery.
When the child was not in kindergarten, his father-in-law took care of his mother-in-law and the child at the same time. He was also very tired.
Every time Li Yong thought of this, he would not feel wronged or tired.
Wasn’t this how a family was? They quarreled and supported each other.
Besides, when he was still a poor boy, didn’t his wife not despise him and think of ways to marry him?
Now that his father-in-law’s family was in such a situation, he had to support the family for his wife’s sake.
Most importantly, after his mother-in-law experienced life and death, she was different from before and treated him much better.
After that, the two of them were silent and soon arrived at Qin Xiaomin’s house.
The villa was still brightly lit. They were probably waiting for Li Yong and the others.
Li Yong parked the car and went to the back seat to help Qin Xiaomin open the door.
Qin Xiaomin carefully carried the child out of the car.
Li Yong was in front and helped Qin Xiaomin open and close the door. Soon, he sent the child into his own small bedroom.
After settling the child down, Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong went to the living room.
Qin Zhiye, Niu Allan, and Qin Xiaojie were all there.
Qin Xiaojie sat there with a long face, his head drooping.
Qin Xiaomin’s heart skipped a beat and she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Xiaojie would only behave like this when he got into trouble. He had been like this since he was young.
Qin Zhiye was furious, “The gym he invested in has failed again.”
Qin Xiaomin was so angry she could not help but say, “I’ve told you before that it’s impossible to build a gym in that location. You didn’t listen. Now, it’s gone, isn’t it?”
Qin Xiaojie mumbled, “My friend said he had done research before. He would definitely make money, so 1 invested. Who knew…”
Qin Zhiye was so angry he wanted to slam the table when he heard that Qin Xiaojie was still unrepentant.
However, when he thought about how his grandson was sleeping, he gritted her teeth and said, “From tomorrow onwards, get out and find a job. Our family doesn’t keep idle people. Also, don’t even think about getting money from us. You won’t have a single cent in the future.”
“Not a single cent?” Qin Xiaojie was shocked. “Father, are you going to starve me to death?”
Qin Zhiye ignored Qin Xiaojie. He looked at Li Yong and sighed, “Xiao Yong, don’t give him a single cent in the future. It’s not easy for you to earn money. 1 remember the money you lent him. 1’11 return it to you.”
Qin Xiaojie borrowed money from Li Yong several times.
He had also borrowed money from Li Yong to invest in the gym.
After all, he was Qin Xiaomin’s younger brother. Moreover, if Qin Xiaojie hadn’t given him the idea, he and Xiaomin wouldn’t have been able to get married so quickly.
Thinking of this, Li Yong was too embarra.s.sed to refuse every time.
However, every time he lent it out, Li Yong’s heart ached.
He had earned this money bit by bit.
Lending it to Qin Xiaojie was no different from beating a dog with a meat bun.
Now, with his father-in-law’s words, Li Yong decided not to borrow it again.
Niu Allan couldn’t bear it, so she tugged at Qin Zhiye’s sleeve and was about to say something.
“How long are you going to keep spoiling him?” Qin Zhiye asked immediately. “Which child in his age still act like him? It’s because you always indulge him that he never grows up. When Xiaomin was his age, she had already joined our unit and worked honestly.”
Niu Allan’s temper was much more restrained now. She didn’t refute Qin Zhiye’s words and just looked at Qin Xiaojie silently.
Qin Xiaojie looked embarra.s.sed and didn’t dare to speak.
After a moment of silence, Qin Zhiye looked at Qin Xiaomin and deliberately asked, “1 heard that Li Miao is back? How is she?”
Qin Xiaomin knew what Qin Zhiye meant and immediately said, “It’s pretty good. Her final exam results are not bad. This time, she brought Gong Wenbai back with her. The two of them have decided to get married this year.” “It’s time to get married. Xiao Gong isn’t young anymore, right?” Qin Zhiye nodded.
When Qin Xiaojie heard Qin Xiaomin’s words, he froze.
Niu Ailan looked at her son’s current state and regretted it for a moment.
“Yeah, other than being a little older, there’s nothing wrong with it.” Qin Xiaomin nodded. “They bought a house in the center of B City and added Miaomiao’s name to it! My parents-in-law said that they didn’t want a betrothal gift, but he insisted on giving it. It’s tentatively set at 300,000 yuan now.”
“Three hundred thousand?” Niu Ailan was speechless. “Did he give all his a.s.sets to your parents-in-law?”
Hearing her words, Qin Xiaomin was a little unhappy, “What for my in-laws? My parents-in-law don’t want this money. It’s not like Miaomiao’s two brothers can’t make money. Why would my parents-in-law want this money? They’ll definitely add some money to buy a house for Miaomiao as a dowry or let Miaomiao bring it back directly”
After a pause, Qin Xiaomin glanced at Qin Xiaojie and said, “Besides, Gong Wenbai earns a lot in a year. This 300,000 yuan was probably not even one-tenth of their savings. The reason why he gave us so much is because he wants to make his stance clear to our family.”
When Qin Xiaojie heard this, he lowered his head even more.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomin didn’t want to say anything more.
“Alright, Father, Mother, it’s getting late. You guys should sleep early!”
After Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong returned to their rooms, Qin Xiaojie also went upstairs listlessly.
Looking at her son’s back, Niu Ailan sighed and got up, slowly returning to her room.
After returning to his room, Qin Zhiye hesitated and wanted to speak.
However, Niu Ailan was one step ahead of him and said in a low voice, “I really regret it now.. What have 1 done?”
