Chapter 315 Our Mom is a Smart Person
"Hey, why are you crying again?"
After a while, Li Dawei saw Yao Meilan suddenly burst into tears and suddenly felt a headache.
You know, Yao Meilan cried when she told him about the bicycle and the house, saying that she had worked hard for this family all these years, and now she was finally waiting for Luo Guofu to get married, and she wanted to make it more decent, so he nodded and agreed.
Now, he didn't expect Yao Meilan to do this to him again. Is she addicted to crying?
"Dawei!"
Yao Meilan wiped her tears, then choked up and said, "You should be honest with yourself. I have been married to you for so many years. When have I ever been partial to our children? Even if I have, it was always towards Qiangzi.
From childhood to adulthood, I can’t remember how many times I have beaten Xiaofu. Do you think I have ever beaten Qiangzi once?
Now that Qiangzi has become successful and you have become more confident, you actually think of me like this?
Didn’t I just forget to cook for them? What’s the big deal? Why do you have to say that to me? Life is really unbearable!”
Hearing this, Li Dawei frowned suddenly, and then asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by that? Are you planning to stop living with me?"
"I"
Yao Meilan was slightly stunned, then quickly defended herself, "That's not what I meant. I was saying that you wronged me. I'm not biased towards them at all."
"Row!"
Li Dawei nodded, and then said seriously: "Since you said you are not biased, let's divide the house between Qiangzi and Xiaofu tomorrow to avoid any trouble in the future."
"Separate?"
Yao Meilan glared, then refused categorically, "No, Xiaofu is getting married in two days. If you separate the two brothers, won't that make people laugh?"
"look!"
Li Dawei's expression turned cold, and then he said angrily: "You still say you are not biased, but you are so eager to object before I finish what I say. In the final analysis, you only have Xiaofu in your heart now."
"That"
Yao Meilan opened her mouth, then asked somewhat stubbornly, "Then how do you say we divide it?"
"I mean"
Li Dawei hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Let Qiangzi and Xiaojuan go out on their own tomorrow. Anyway, they are in the store all day now, so let them cook by themselves in the store to prevent you from forgetting next time.
In addition, the three houses next door were all bought by Qiangzi himself. We only have these two rooms in our house, which are just right for each of the two brothers.
Now you give that gatehouse to Xiaofu, and this room will be left to Qiangzi from now on.
Also, the money that Qiangzi took back home before will be returned to them when the time comes.
As for the two of us, it depends on what you think. If you want to live with Xiaofu, then let Qiangzi give us 5 yuan pension every month, and vice versa.
Do you have anything else to add? If not, it’s settled. I’ll tell Qiangzi and Xiaojuan tomorrow to let them live separately after Xiaofu gets married.”
Having said that, he reached out for the teacup, took a sip of tea, and slightly relieved the depression in his heart.
In fact, if it weren't for Yao Meilan's recent behavior, which was becoming more and more excessive, he would not have thought of officially letting Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan separate and live on their own.
After all, as a parent, who doesn’t want to have children and grandchildren around and a happy family?
However, in order to avoid making the relationship worse and the matter more serious in the future, he felt it would be more appropriate to divide the family as soon as possible.
Because in this way, Yao Meilan will no longer be able to get anything from Li Guoqiang under the pretext of taking care of Luo Guofu.
When Yao Meilan heard Li Dawei's proposal for splitting up the family, she instantly fell into silence.
In fact, ever since Li Guoqiang came back from the countryside and achieved outstanding results step by step, she has been secretly leaning towards her own son Luo Guofu, hoping that Luo Guofu can also live a good life that everyone envies like Li Guoqiang.
Otherwise, she would not be so opposed to Luo Guofu marrying Zhao Qiuyan, a country girl. Then, when Zhao Qiuyan clearly stated that she could be Luo Guofu's mistress, her attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
All this was because she hoped that Luo Guofu could find her a few more daughters-in-law and give her a few more fat grandchildren.
In addition, the reason why she wanted to get Luo Guofu a new bicycle and a room was because she didn't want Luo Guofu to be outdone by Li Guoqiang.
It's impossible that Li Guoqiang got married in such a grand manner while her own son got married in such a shabby manner!
Therefore, she naturally did not want to let Li Guoqiang separate and live alone.
If that's really the case, how can she ask Li Guoqiang to help Luo Guofu more and make Luo Guofu's life better?
"You are talking!"
Li Dawei frowned when he saw Yao Meilan remained silent, then he urged her in a somewhat unhappily tone.
In fact, as Yao Meilan's bedmate for so many years, how could he not understand Yao Meilan's thoughts? He just didn't want to point it out to her face.
Originally, he thought that as long as Yao Meilan didn't go too far, he would just turn a blind eye.
However, who would have thought that Yao Meilan didn't even cook for Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others.
You know, Luo Huijuan is pregnant!
Not to mention, there are so many daughters-in-law watching there.
For the sake of family harmony, he could only decide on the division of the family in advance. Now it all depends on what Yao Meilan says.
When Yao Meilan heard Li Dawei's urging, she slowly raised her head and looked at him, then pursed her lips and said softly, "Dawei, I don't have an idea for the time being. Why don't we put this aside for now! Let's discuss it again after Xiaofu gets married, okay?"
"Fine!"
Li Dawei heard this and looked at Yao Meilan's pleading expression. He immediately nodded and agreed, "Think about this carefully first, and it's best to make a decision as soon as possible.
No matter who you choose to live with in the future, I will be with you."
Hearing this, Yao Meilan felt warm in her heart, and then she nodded slightly and agreed: "Well, I will think about it carefully."
After saying that, she reached out for the teapot, poured a glass of water for Li Dawei, and then silently pondered in her mind what to do next.
If Li Dawei did as he said and let Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan separate and live on their own, then Luo Guofu would only be left with a pitiful salary. How would he support his wife and children then?
Even if she took Li Dawei and lived with Luo Guofu, the most she could do was add her salary, which meant that two salaries had to support her, Li Dawei, Luo Guofu, Zhao Qiuyan, Luo Jiwu, and the children to be born in the future.
It is conceivable that life will not be easy at that time.
On the other hand, Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others are all able to get salaries, so even if they have a lot of children in the future, they can still live a good life.
What's more, Li Guoqiang has the ability to get a lot of good things and make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, she felt very upset, and always felt a little guilty towards her dead husband. So, she must not let Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan separate and live alone.
But what reason should she use to say it?
Since ancient times, it has been natural for brothers to marry and divide the family property. No matter who she tells, no one will support her.
Just when she was feeling a little worried, Luo Huijuan glanced at Li Guoqiang, who was leaning on the bedside, pricking a wooden figurine with a silver needle with a serious look on his face. She endured it for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, Qiangzi, do you think our dad will quarrel with our mom?"
"will not!"
When Li Guoqiang heard this, he shook his head without even thinking and said, "In my opinion, they will just have a quarrel at most, and there is no chance of them quarreling."
"why?"
Luo Huijuan was slightly stunned, then asked with some curiosity.
She couldn't understand why Li Guoqiang was so sure.
You know, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan had quarreled before. When the quarrel got serious, Yao Meilan would take her and Luo Guofu back to the house at Luo's side.
From this we can see that Yao Meilan is not the kind of person who will just accept things passively.
This matter was neither big nor small. In her opinion, if Li Dawei and Yao Meilan could not reach an agreement, there was a high possibility that they would quarrel.
Just when she was thinking about whether she should go and see what the situation was, Li Guoqiang's somewhat meaningful voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Because I have made a difference now, and my mother is a smart person. She won't do anything stupid."
"This"
Luo Huijuan's eyes narrowed, and then she looked at Li Guoqiang thoughtfully, as if she had understood what Li Guoqiang wanted to express.
However, what she still couldn't understand was that, since Yao Meilan would not do anything stupid, why did she do those biased things again and again in recent times?
Wouldn’t Yao Meilan be worried that this would cause her and Li Guoqiang to have a disagreement?
Or is it that Yao Meilan is certain that they will not commit crimes against their superiors and dare not do anything that goes against filial piety?
"okay!"
Seeing Luo Huijuan lost in thought, Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it. No matter what, you have to believe in our father's wisdom. He will definitely solve this matter. Let's not worry about it.
At worst, we can just cook at Xiangmizhai as we said before and don’t bring anything back.”
"Ok!"
When Luo Huijuan heard this, she thought about it and agreed that this was the truth.
After all, as children, it would be inappropriate for them to argue so much with Yao Meilan, so it would be better to let Li Dawei solve it.
What's more, the little paradise in Li Guoqiang's hands gave them the greatest confidence, allowing them to have the safest and most secure way out no matter what situation they faced.
Soon, she got up and went to the kitchen, asking Shang Xiuzhen and others to take a shower quickly so that they could work hard to expand the Li family.
When Li Guoqiang saw Luo Huijuan go out, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
Originally, he thought that he would not encounter any bad things in his new life.
However, it was not until now that he realized that no matter which family it was, there would be some problems to a greater or lesser extent.
What's more, their family is a reconstituted family, so it is even more difficult to avoid all kinds of conflicts.
In the past, he was in poor health and was not expected to live many years. Luo Guofu was the only son in the family, so there was basically no possibility of any conflicts.
But, it's different now.
Not only did his health improve, he also achieved such a brilliant career and found so many concubines.
In comparison, Luo Guofu has no other advantages except inheriting the old Luo family's house and Li Dawei's job.
Then Yao Meilan, as Luo Guofu's biological mother, would naturally feel a little unbalanced.
He had already vaguely noticed these things when Yao Meilan was thinking about finding a wife for Luo Guofu as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to find a matchmaker to find a good wife for Luo Guofu.
But he didn't expect that Luo Jiwu would interfere and make things more and more chaotic, causing Yao Meilan to go further and further, as if she wanted to give everything he had to Luo Guofu.
Due to his status as a junior, he had no choice but to hand the matter over to Li Dawei, hoping that Yao Meilan could face reality and return to her previous state of keeping things fair.
Having said that, for many things, as long as Yao Meilan is willing to discuss them with him, considering that they are family, how could he be stingy with such a small thing?
What he didn't like was Yao Meilan's attitude of taking the initiative, as if she had him in her hands.
In this kind of situation, let alone she is not his biological mother, even if she is, he would have objections.
Now, it depends on how Li Dawei can handle it.
If we can live in peace, that would be the best.
If not, then he would have to have a good talk with Li Dawei.
Soon, Shen Fengxia, Shang Xiuzhen and others took a bath and returned to the house. Then they worked with Li Guoqiang to dig a well and had a lot of fun.
As usual, Luo Huijuan went into her little world to appreciate the flower beds and feed the small animals, which was a way to cultivate her body and mind and avoid being left alone outside and feeling uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Luo Guofu rode his old bicycle over early in the morning, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he was surprised by a row of charming sisters-in-law squatting under the eaves to wash.
Fortunately, Yao Meilan came out of the house in time and called him, so he was not embarrassed.
When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel envious of Li Guoqiang, and then secretly vowed to find a few more younger ones in the future, at least those who would not be much worse than Li Guoqiang.
Then, before he could fantasize for long, Yao Meilan called him into the kitchen and whispered something to him.
