She was fuming inside, but could only swallow her anger because Li Xiangyang had no idea about her business venture with Ye Qing. If he found out that she had squandered all their family savings, they would definitely have another big fight.
Speaking of which, when Li Xiangyang married her, he was very unwilling. If it hadnât been for that incident... Under pressure from the Yang Family and the Mei Family, Li Xiangyang would have never married her in the first place.
Fortunately, after they got married, she willingly followed him to the military district and kept a low profile there. As a result, Li Xiangyangâs attitude towards her gradually improved.
Currently, their relationship is warming up, and now with this situation, if Li Xiangyang finds out, all her efforts to please him would be in vain.
As feared, she was just worried about Li Xiangyang asking her for money, and out of the blue, he actually came asking.
He said that in the Capital City, his mother accidentally fractured her leg, and they had to go back once. Since the elderly woman had broken her leg, she definitely needed to go to the hospital. According to Li Xiangyang, his motherâs leg was quite severe and probably required surgery.
Surgery would not be cheap. The Li Family had two children, Li Xiangyang and his sister. In recent years, nearly all the familyâs savings were spent on the childrenâs weddings.
Especially when Li Xiangyang got married, the Yang Family demanded an exceptionally high bride price, so in the end, they exhausted all their reserves to get their son married.
Not even half a year later, when their daughter got married, they spent a significant amount on her dowry as well. Now, the old couple hadnât yet recovered from those expenses. They didnât have to worry about daily necessities, but when faced with urgent situations requiring money, they were at a loss.
Only a few months had passed, and their savings hadnât accumulated to that much.
If something big came up, theyâd have to rely on their son.
Although Li Xiangyangâs family lived in the prestigious district of the Capital City, his parentsâ positions were not high compared to others there, resulting in limited salaries. Plus, he and his sister were used to living lavishly and never saved up money usually.
Recall that year when Li Xiangyang coaxed Mu Qing to go to the barâthat hundred-plus dollars was painful for him to spend. Just imagine, they were the kind of family that put on a brave front.
Yang Ting, alarmed when Li Xiangyang asked her for money, had no choice but to seek help from her mom.
"Mom, I just wanted to earn some money for our future as a couple. I never got too close to her; it was all about mutual gain for personal benefit. I just didnât want Xiangyang to find out, so I didnât get too involved in the business side, just focused on the profit-sharing. Who knew Ye Qing was this kind of person?"
"You, think carefully in the future, youâre married now; you canât behave as recklessly as before. Otherwise, youâll become a laughing stock," Xie Zhitao sighed, saying it was a parentâs debt. Her daughter might not be exceptional, but she was still her daughter. Even bad parents would plan for their children. Although it pained her to pay more than two thousand yuan, she was willing if it meant her daughter wouldnât be aggrieved at her in-lawsâ. "Alright, tell Xiangyang that I spent the money recently, and now since your mother-in-lawâs in trouble, Iâll just give the money directly to her."
"Mom... please donât give it all away, at least leave a bit for me," Yang Ting really didnât want to be left with nothing.
"Donât worry, your mom knows what sheâs doing. But letâs be clear, Iâm giving you two thousand yuan, and you need to come up with the rest yourself."
"Mom, I understand. From the past few monthsâ profits, weâve already made more than a thousand."
"Sigh... youâd better wise up in the future, stop making me and your father worry," Xie Zhitao frowned, shaking her head in resignation.
"Got it, got it, Mom. Iâve come to realize now,"
If it wasnât for her uncle introducing her to someone, she wouldnât have wasted so many years going around in circles.
Unexpectedly, the person her uncle introduced, Han Yi, turned out to be his illegitimate son.
At first, she did like Han Yi quite a bit, but now that she came to her senses, she patted her chest in relief. Thank goodness she didnât end up with Han Yi, it was good that he didnât fancy her.
If that had happened, how would she face her Grandmaâs family and her aunt in the future?
If that relationship had worked out, her mom might have torn her apart later on.
Her uncle was so unreliable. This was a slap in the face to her Grandpaâs family.
Having an illegitimate child was one thing, but trying to set up that child with his current wifeâs niece was another. According to Grandpa, it was simply absurd. It was as if he didnât respect the Xie Family at all.
