Chapter 15, It Would be Great to Have Money

Li Yong saw that Ji Yuanyuan was wearing the vest, so he stood up and said, “Okay, you guys hurry up and finish eating and rest. I’m going back first.”

“Oh right, you said that Xiao Lei will be back soon. What do you mean?” Li Xu suddenly remembered what Li Yong had said to Ji Jianguo just now.

Xiao Lei was the eldest son of the Li family, Li Lei. He had been serving in the army all these years.

“I came back this time because I received a letter from Big Brother,” Li Yong said in a low voice. “I just read it at home with our parents. Big Brother decided to retire next September and come back.”

Li Lei had joined the army at the age of 20. This year was the seventh year.

“Has it been decided? He went there after risking his life back then. Now…” Li Xu asked curiously.

Li Lei had a dream of joining the army since he was young. He had always wanted to join the army since he was 18 years old. However, when he was recruited at the age of 18, he was rejected due to his unqualified weight. In the second year, he passed all his targets. However, when he was about to join the army, he broke his leg. In the third year, he finally joined the army safely.

For so many years, he had performed very well in the army. Li Xu had thought that he would continue to stay in the army, but who knew that he would actually have the thought of leaving the army.

When Li Yong heard this, he sighed softly, “His partner can’t wait any longer. Moreover, Big Brother said that the army will give him a large sum of recovery fees when he leaves the army. He will have the money to get married, he can still do some small business with the rest.”

When Li Lei went home to visit his family the year before last, his parents had arranged a blind date for him.

The woman was from the neighboring village. They had arranged a marriage back then. They had originally planned to get married after a year or two.

However, from this year onwards, they changed intentions. They said that as long as Li Lei did not come back, they would not get married.

When Li Xu thought of this, she sighed helplessly, “Let him be. It’s his own choice, just don’t regret it in the future.”

As she spoke, Li Xu stood up and took a box of peach bread that Qin Xiaomin had given her in the morning. She also took some meat and vegetables that she had bought in the city today, “Take these back and give them to our parents.”

Li Yong thought for a moment. This was also his sister’s filial piety, so he did not decline and took the things back.

Ji Yuanyuan was in the back room, listening to Li Xu and Li Yong’s words clearly.

It was all caused by the lack of money!

The eldest uncle and second uncle were not married yet, and in addition, the youngest aunt was still in school. Now that the family of four had moved back, grandpa and grandma must be under a lot of pressure.

The most important thing now was to get money, but how could they get it?

Ji Yuanyuan sighed.

How could she make use of the space? She had a golden finger in her hand, but she could not use it. It was really a waste of God’s gift.

Early the next morning, Li Yong came over. He brought some food over, “Father and mother asked me to bring it over. They have gone to the fields. The potatoes have been harvested. It’s time to plant wheat.”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. “Where’s the axe? I’ll chop the firewood for you. And the water, I’ll fill up the water vat for you later.”

When it came to using her younger brother, Li Xu was naturally won’t be polite. She immediately found an axe and handed it to Li Yong.

Li Yong buried his head in his work while Li Xu washed the clothes at the side.

There was no washing machine, so the clothes could only be washed by hand. Li Xu’s hands were rubbed red.

“There’s one more thing. The household registration is a bit difficult to handle.” Li Yong suddenly said, “It’s easy for you. It’s in our household registration book, but Zixuan and Zi’ang’s are a bit difficult to handle.”

The two children’s household registration was on Ji Jianguo’s side. It wouldn’t be so easy to move out.

Li Xu also knew that it was difficult to handle, but what about the two children’s school problems?

“Why don’t we let them go to their previous school? At most, I’ll pick them up and drop them off every day,” Li Xu said in a low voice.

Li Yong was chopping wood. He sighed and said, “It would be great if we had the money. We can buy a house in the city. As long as Ji Jianguo agrees, our household registration book can be transferred to the city.”

That’s right, it would be great if we had the money!

Li Xu’s expression was a little gloomy.

Ji Yuanyuan was sitting by the side. She held her chin with her hand and looked pensive.

Suddenly, the courtyard door was opened. A familiar figure stood at the door, “Sister Li.”

Qin Xiaomin stood at the door and called out with a smile.

Li Yong was chopping wood. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and looked over.

He saw a young girl standing at the door. Her skin was fair, her figure was graceful, and her eyes and brows were like a painting.

Li Yong was stunned by what he saw.

Qin Xiaomin entered the door, and a few people came in one after another.

A middle-aged couple, a child, and an old man holding a walking stick.

These people were dressed very fashionably, and it was obvious that they were not from the countryside.

The middle-aged couple carried a lot of things in their hands.

Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew this middle-aged couple.

This was her father-in-law, Qin Haowen, and her mother-in-law, Cheng Shuqin, from her previous life. The couple was extremely close, and

Qin Mucheng

‘s name was a testament to that.

Qin Mucheng. Qin Haowen adored Cheng Shuqin.

However, Qin Haowen passed away not long after Ji Yuanyuan entered the house. From then on, Cheng Shuqin lives a lonely life like an ancient Buddha and no longer cared about the affairs of the human world.

Although Ji Yuanyuan had never seen the old man walking at the end, she had seen his photo.

He was Qin Mucheng’s grandfather, Qin Junshan. The old man had been a soldier all his life. He had passed away a few years before Ji Yuanyuan entered the house.

Now that he saw these living people again, Ji Yuanyuan felt her chest heat up.

Li Xu was also a little stunned when she saw so many people. She stood up and wiped her hands on the apron on her body. She was at a loss, “This is…”

Qin Xiaomin quickly said, “This is Mucheng’s parents and grandfather. They specially came from B city overnight. Thank you for saving Mu Cheng.”

Li Xu smiled awkwardly, “It’s nothing. Come in, it’s cold outside…”

She quickly said and made a welcoming gesture.

Li Yong came back to his senses and quickly said, “I’ll buy some tea and make some.”

Just as he was about to walk out, Qin Haowen went up to stop him, “Brother, don’t be so polite. We don’t drink tea, come in and talk with us.”

Li Yong was pulled by him and could only follow him into the house.

The small house was instantly filled by so many people.

Although this house was new, Li Xu had just moved in and there wasn’t even a place to sit.

Qin Mucheng had no choice but to help the old man sit on the heated brick bed.

The old man touched the warm brick bed and smiled, “Speaking of which, I really miss it. Back when I was working here, I slept on the heated brick bed.”

Qin Haowen explained, “My father stayed here for more than ten years. It can be considered his second hometown.”

Li Xu was a woman and was not good with words. She could only smile and nod.

Ji Zi’ang, who was studying in the next room, heard the sound and ran out. When he saw so many gift boxes in the room, his eyes instantly lit up.

Qin Haowen’s eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Ji Zi’ang. “Little friend, come to Uncle!”
