Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

In fact, Li Zhiguo and his wife could have installed bunk beds in their room, but their daughter was still too young and it would be dangerous for her to sleep on one, so they had Grandma Li sleep with her.

Since Mr. Li said so, Grandma Li naturally couldn't object. Fortunately, this arrangement meant she wouldn't have to share a bed with Ding Ping's niece, so she could accept it.

When Li Qiuyun's child is born next year, she will sleep with both children. By then, Ding Ping's niece should be gone, so she can let Li Zhiguo's daughter sleep on the top bunk. She will be a year older then, so it will be fine for her to sleep on the top bunk.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Ding Ping happily invited her niece from her maternal family to come over.

The reason she was so actively involved in this matter was obviously because there was something to gain. After all, she's the kind of person who doesn't get up early for nothing. Why would she be so eager to do something if there was no profit to be made? Even if it were her family's business, she wouldn't have bothered to get involved. After all, she's not the kind of person who's obsessed with supporting her brother or sister and only cares about her own interests.

This time, it was her brother and sister-in-law from her maternal family who came to her door, saying that there were many factories around the Li family's area that were hiring, and asked if their daughter could come and take a look.

Ding Ping initially refused, saying that she had only been married into the family for a short time and the Li family did not take her seriously, so she did not have the ability.

As a result, her brother and sister-in-law said that as long as she could get it done, they would give her twenty yuan, and then give her fifteen yuan a month for the child's meals there.

"You should have said so earlier! A job that pays fifteen yuan a month is something I can do. After all, she doesn't work and can earn fifteen yuan a month. Why wouldn't she do it?" Her family said it was for the child's food, but Ding Ping certainly wouldn't pay for it. Anyway, Li's father bought the vegetables. Was she supposed to give him money? No way. So, she couldn't give him the fifteen yuan. That's why Ding Ping brought it up with Li's father.

Now that she's succeeded, she's naturally happy. After all, in this way, she didn't officially take money from Li's father, but in reality, she did take money from him indirectly. Since she didn't pay for her niece's meal at Li's house, it's practically the same as her taking advantage of Li's father.

Li Qiuyun, Li Zhiguo, and others naturally discovered this as well.

Seeing that Ding Ping had only bought a set of clothes and shoes not long ago, she invited her niece from her maternal family to eat and drink for free at their Li family's house, they were naturally unhappy. However, since Li's father did not mention asking Ding Ping to pay, they could not criticize Ding Ping. They could only tell Li's father that Ding Ping's family was ignorant, letting their child come to their house to borrow a room, and as a result, she ate and drank for free without even paying them any money.

This time, unlike before when they spoke ill of Li's mother, Li's father was not swayed by their words and began to dislike Ding Ping. This was because what Ding Ping had said before made sense. She was the mistress of the Li family, and it was indeed a bit much for her niece from her maternal family to come and stay with her as her aunt, even to the point of charging her for a meal. So, Li's father did not bring up the matter again.

Of course, the main reason was just as Ding Ping thought. He had already been divorced twice. If things got ugly with Ding Ping again, and he got divorced a third time, even if he could find another partner, his reputation in the neighborhood would be ruined. People would definitely say that he was bad in this way and that way. After all, if he was good, why would he have been divorced three times? At the very least, they would say that he was fickle, liked this one and liked that one, and was a womanizer.

Mr. Li was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to be talked about like that.

Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo, the couple, noticed that Li's father didn't seem to dislike her like they had before. They thought that if they said a few unpleasant things about Li's mother to him, he would immediately start to dislike her. Instead, he didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards Ding Ping. They couldn't help but feel frustrated, thinking that they had really driven the wrong person away. Li's mother was much better. This Ding Ping was much more difficult to deal with than Li's mother.

Ding Ping overheard Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's conversation with Li's father—Linlang had deliberately let her hear it to incite this group to fight amongst themselves, allowing the original owner to take revenge on Li Qiuyun, Li Zhiguo, and the others—and harbored a deep resentment towards them, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Just as the Li family was embroiled in this bitter feud, one day at the end of the year, Grandpa Li suddenly collapsed and couldn't get up. Although he was rushed to the hospital, he couldn't be saved; he didn't die, but he was paralyzed and unable to get up.

This was truly an unlucky thing. Fortunately, Grandpa Li was paralyzed, and Grandma Li took care of him. Li's father also helped take care of Grandpa Li's bathing and other tasks, so Li Zhiguo and the others didn't need to do anything. Therefore, Li Zhiguo and the others were temporarily in a better position.

They have some complaints about the fact that the third branch of the family doesn't take care of Grandpa Li at all. They feel that since the third branch didn't serve Grandpa Li, they should give Grandpa Li's father some money in lieu of service. After all, Grandpa Li's father put in the effort, shouldn't they contribute money?
Since Li's father got the money, it meant they got the money. So, Li Zhiguo and his wife, as well as Li Qiuyun and her husband, naturally felt that Li's father should ask Li's third uncle for some money.

However, Li's father was a proud man and felt embarrassed to ask his brothers for money. He felt that they were all brothers, so why bother with such a big deal? Therefore, he did not agree to the proposal from Li Zhiguo and his wife, as well as Li Qiuyun and her husband.

Since Li's father didn't mention it, Li's third uncle's family naturally pretended to be dead and didn't care about anything.

Judging from the current behavior of Uncle Li's family, we can basically see how they behave after Grandma Li also suffered a stroke and became paralyzed. Selfish people like them are definitely less likely to care, since they have no interest in giving Li's father a little money every month.

Instead of mentioning that Grandpa Li had suffered a stroke, Ding Ping said that Grandpa Li had a stroke right after Li Qiuyun got married. Now Ding Ping had something to say, and she immediately spread the word that it was Li Qiuyun who prevented her from handling the wedding arrangements and insisted that Grandpa Li and Grandma Li handle them, which caused Grandpa Li to suffer a stroke.

Ding Ping had harbored resentment towards Li Qiuyun and others for speaking ill of her to Li's father, so now that she had this opportunity, there was no reason for her not to take it.

This was naturally agreed upon by Aunt Li from the third branch of the family. She immediately suggested that Li Qiuyun pay for Grandpa Li's treatment, since he had collapsed from exhaustion while helping her with her wedding preparations. She argued that since Grandpa Li had collapsed from exhaustion for her sake, the third branch of the family should pay for his treatment, and that they had no money.

—When he was sent to the hospital for treatment, although Grandpa Li was a retiree, the government reimbursed part of the cost, but not all of it; he still had to pay a portion himself.

At that time, Li's father discussed with the third branch of the family that each of them would contribute half.

In the future, if Grandpa Li is paralyzed and bedridden, he will still live with Li's father and need Li's father to take care of him. Therefore, when Li's third uncle heard Li's father say that the medical expenses should be split 50/50, he had no objection.

But when Aunt Li heard Ding Ping say that, she naturally felt that they were being taken advantage of, so she quickly seized the opportunity and said that their money should be paid by Li Qiuyun.

Li Qiuyun was furious when she heard this. She immediately retorted that she had been married for almost a year and Grandpa Li had a stroke. How could she be blamed for that?
Then, realizing it was because of Ding Ping's words, he immediately found Ding Ping and yelled, "You're so vicious! Talking about me like that outside! I'll have my dad kick you out and see if you can find someone better than him!" (End of Chapter)
