Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1530 Good Luck Continues (19)
When Li's mother heard Linlang's words, she just smiled but did not object. Obviously, she was going to go along with Linlang's words to provoke Li Qiuyun and the others, so that they would take action.

Of course, Linlang wouldn't say this directly in front of Li Qiuyun and the others, as that would be too obvious. So when her original cousin, Li Jing, the daughter of the third wife, came to visit her, she deliberately took her to a store and bought some peach shortbread, sharing some with her so that she could take it back and try it.

The original owner of this body had always been as frugal as Li's mother. Seeing her suddenly become generous, Li Jing was naturally curious about where she got the money. After all, wasn't it said that her private savings of more than 600 yuan had been stolen?

So Linlang said that Grandma Li gave Li Qiuyun 800 yuan, which her mother felt was unfair, so she argued with her father. As a result, her father gave her an extra 100 yuan. Although it was not as much as Grandma Li gave Li Qiuyun, she was still very happy to receive 100 yuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's eyes flickered.

Seeing her reaction, Linlang knew that she had made the right decision to bring this up with her original cousin.

Because once Li Jing finds out about this, she will definitely tell her mother, Aunt Li, and Aunt Li will definitely tell Li Qiuyun, Sister-in-law Li, and others.

Despite Aunt Li's displeasure with Grandma Li's favoritism towards Li Qiuyun, and the apparent lack of any conflict of interest with the second wife's daughter, Linlang, she knew that the two of them wouldn't benefit from the second wife's advantages anyway. Therefore, she had no need to cause any conflict with the original owner of Li's mother.

But she would be happy if she could instigate infighting among the second branch of the family. Ever since Grandpa Li gave his job to Li Zhiguo, who was practically a member of the second branch, and Grandma Li gave her eight hundred yuan of her private savings to Li Qiuyun, Aunt Li had hated the second branch of the family. So, she was more than happy to see the second branch of the family fighting amongst themselves. This was also why Linlang told Li Jing about it, because she knew that things would develop as she had planned.

Sure enough, the news quickly reached the ears of Li Qiuyun, her sister-in-law, and others. This infuriated Li Qiuyun. She thought that Li Linlang was truly wicked. Her six hundred yuan hadn't been lost at all, meaning she already had money. Now, her father had given her another hundred yuan, making her over seven hundred yuan. How rich was that? It was hateful that the money her grandmother had given her had been stolen by someone, leaving her with no money. In contrast, Li Linlang had over seven hundred yuan. The contrast was too stark, and Li Qiuyun naturally couldn't stand it.

Li Qiuyun immediately ran to question her father about why he gave Li Linlang one hundred yuan.

Upon hearing Li Qiuyun's questioning, Li's father cursed Li Linlang and her mother for their loose tongues. Faced with Li Qiuyun's questioning, he could only pretend to be stupid and said, "No, I didn't give it to them."

Anyway, she just wouldn't admit it. She figured Linlang wouldn't admit it even if Li Qiuyun questioned her. This way, she could just deny it without any evidence and deal with her daughter's questions.

Li Qiuyun said, "I know everything that Li Linlang told Li Jing."

Mr. Li said, "She's talking nonsense. There's no such thing. If you don't believe me, go find her and ask her."

Sure enough, Li Qiuyun called Linlang over to ask her. Linlang, of course, wouldn't admit it in front of Li's father, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, Dad didn't give me any money. Where did you hear that?"

Li Qiuyun was furious when she saw that neither her father nor Li Linlang would admit it. She said, "You were the one who told Li Jing, and you still won't admit it!"

Linlang shrugged and said, "Really not? How can I admit it?"

Li Qiuyun said, "I'm calling Li Jing here for a confrontation!"

Linlang said, "Are you saying that whatever Li Jing says goes? If she says your money isn't lost, then your money isn't lost, and you should return it to Grandpa so he can redistribute it?" Needless to say, if Li Jing really did say whatever she wanted, and if she claimed Li Qiuyun's money wasn't lost, and then Grandpa forced her to hand over the eight hundred yuan for him to redistribute, she would be at a huge disadvantage. Therefore, Li Qiuyun immediately suggested confronting Li Jing, and the matter was dropped.

Although the matter was dropped, Li Qiuyun was convinced that Linlang had taken one hundred yuan from her father, which made her very angry. After all, in her opinion, all of her father's money belonged to her, and she was unwilling to give it to Li Zhiguo, a male heir. Therefore, she had been fighting with Li Zhiguo openly and secretly. What right did a girl like Linlang have to compete with her for property?

Although she is a woman herself, she has already married into the family, so she is now a man, unlike Li Linlang.

This is also why she was angry when she heard that Li's father had given Linlang a hundred yuan. She felt that her father was getting senile. How could they give their Li family's money to outsiders? Did he not understand this principle?

She didn't know that because Li's mother said she was leaving, her father didn't dare to divorce her, so he gave in. Otherwise, as she thought, how could he give money to a girl who was about to get married? Her father had no choice.

Although there was nothing he could do, Li's father still disliked Li's mother and Linlang's behavior. So when Li Qiuyun spoke ill of Li's mother and Linlang in front of him, Li's father did not stop her. On the contrary, he agreed with what his eldest daughter said, thinking that Li's mother had been pretending to be virtuous all these years. Now that she could not get money, she finally exposed her true colors. In the end, she just wanted his money. It seems that she is just like some snobbish women, who are greedy for money.

Mr. Li was clearly unaware that Mrs. Li wasn't after his money at all; she just wanted to leave. Her asking him for money was merely a ploy to make him despise her and get him to divorce her sooner.

Li's father was unaware of this, but it was clear that Li's mother's actions had taken effect, and he was now growing increasingly disgusted with her.

What Mr. Li didn't know was that Mrs. Li was hoping he would hate her and bring up divorce soon, because that night, Mrs. Li had a dream similar to the one she had that night. Although there were some minor differences, both dreams depicted a very tragic end for her and her daughter.

When she woke up from the dream, Li's mother was in a bad mood again and wanted to leave. She had given Li's father a hundred yuan when she saw that he couldn't take it anymore, and she was thinking about whether to just let it go. But after seeing this dream, she felt that she couldn't let it go. After all, her annual salary was much more than a hundred yuan! Moreover, she had taken care of the elderly couple for more than ten years. How much money must that have cost? She couldn't just let it go. It would be best to leave.

The reason why Li's mother agreed to Linlang's plan to leave was because of these dreams.

Thinking about it carefully, although it was a dream, it was actually predictable that she might actually have to quit her job to take care of Grandpa and Grandma Li in the future, just like in her dream.

After all, Grandpa and Grandma Li are already very old. The last time they were sick and hospitalized, she was the one who took care of them. However, she only needed to take care of them for a short time, so she didn't quit her job. If they really suffer a stroke and become paralyzed, requiring someone to take care of them around the clock, the family will definitely make her quit her job, because no one else will be able to take care of them.

Moreover, since the issue of the eight hundred yuan hasn't been resolved, the third wife will definitely have a falling out with the elderly couple and won't take care of them; this is something that can be predicted.

I don't know why Li Qiuyun's money wasn't lost in the dream, which is why the third wife in the dream didn't realize that Grandma Li had given her private savings to Li Qiuyun.

Regardless of whether Li Qiuyun lost her money or not, this is a reasonable assumption.

In that case, it's best to leave.
