Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Hearing Li Zhiguo and his wife say this, Li Qiuyun was naturally furious. She immediately said that Li Zhiguo had taken a lot of Li's father's property and just left like that, which was unacceptable. She demanded that Li Zhiguo return the money from Li's father and that he would no longer care about Li's father's affairs. Otherwise, why should he get the money and not fulfill his obligations when it's his turn to take care of his parents?

It would be a miracle if Li Zhiguo returned the money to Li Qiuyun, so the two of them argued fiercely. This made Li Qiuyun think of Linlang even more, thinking that with another person, she would have less to take care of.

In addition, having Linlang join her in criticizing Li Zhiguo would give her an ally, preventing her from being outmatched by Li Zhiguo and his wife on her own.

When Li's father saw Li Zhiguo's behavior, he was immediately filled with anger and resentment. After all, Li Zhiguo's father had died early and his mother had remarried early, so he had raised Li Zhiguo from a young age.

Even after he grew up, he continued to support Li Zhiguo. In order to give him money, he never even gave money to his own daughter, Li Linlang. As a result, Li Zhiguo, whom he had raised at great expense, was now such an ungrateful wretch and unwilling to support him anymore. Naturally, Li's father was angry.

However, out of consideration for Li Zhiguo being a male member of the Li family, he did not try to get his money back like Li Qiuyun did.

Since Li Qiuyun has already brought it up, there's no need for him to bring it up again.

Li Zhiguo and his wife said they wouldn't take care of them anymore, and that was it. If they had somewhere else to live, they probably would have left the Li family's house to avoid living together and seeing each other all the time, which would be quite annoying.

But Li Qiuyun was not one to let things go easily. She immediately warned Li Zhiguo that if he and his wife did not take care of Li's father, she would go to his workplace and expose his situation, making him lose face at the food station and be talked about behind his back wherever he went.

People like them who work for a company are afraid of others coming to their workplace and causing trouble.

It must be said that Li Qiuyun's method was quite effective; it really intimidated Li Zhiguo, forcing him to reluctantly take care of his father, even though he secretly hated him.

Not only Li's father, but also Li's grandfather is annoying.

Grandpa Li's pension has increased a bit over the years, but the rate of increase hasn't kept up with the rate of increase in wages for working as a nanny.

Ding Ping left before because she worked as a nanny and earned fifty or sixty yuan a month, but Grandpa Li's pension has not increased to fifty or sixty yuan in all these years.

So, Cao Li and Li Dasao's family were originally vying to take care of Grandpa Li. However, after the reform and opening up, there were nannies available everywhere, and the wages for nannies were getting higher and higher. Even if men didn't work as nannies, they could work as bricklayers on construction sites where there was a lot of demolition and construction going on, and the monthly salary was also very high. No, it should be said that it was even higher. Given this, who in Cao Li and Li Dasao's family was still willing to take care of Grandpa Li?
Long before Ding Ping left, the people who had taken care of Grandpa Li had also left.

This was actually the reason Ding Ping wanted to leave. Her son's in-laws no longer intended to take care of Grandpa Li, and she could no longer get anything out of him. The Li family had become a place where she couldn't get much benefit and had to work hard, so naturally she didn't want to stay. After all, she and Li's father were a second marriage, and Grandpa Li and his father had never taken care of her or her children, so why should she take care of them now? Thus, a new problem arose: who would take care of Grandpa Li?

Grandpa Li's pension is not enough to hire a caregiver, so Li's father needs to contribute his salary. However, after deducting daily expenses and medical expenses, Li's father doesn't have much money left. It would be too much of a loss to use that money to hire a caregiver for Grandpa Li. Not to mention anything else, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo are unwilling to accept this.

The money they received from Li's father was already decreasing every now and then. If Li's father used the money to hire a caregiver to look after Grandpa Li, they would receive even less money. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this, because it would make them feel that they were the ones paying for the caregiver to look after Grandpa Li, while they were the grandchildren. Why should they have to pay to take care of Grandpa Li?

So now, the situation has recurred, just like it did years ago when no one could be found to take care of them.

When this situation arose, Li Zhiguo and the others couldn't help but recall the scene in their dreams where Li's mother took care of Li's grandfather and father with tireless dedication. They increasingly realized the importance of Li's mother to the Li family; without her, the family would fall apart.

Thinking back to how they had stirred up trouble in front of Li's father, leading to his divorce from Li's mother, they felt increasingly regretful, realizing it was the worst decision they had ever made.

So when these troubles arose, they couldn't hold back. Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo would scold Grandpa Li, saying it was all his fault. If he hadn't stirred things up in front of Li's father and made Li's father drive Li's mother away, he would have someone to take care of him now. They would also scold Li's father, saying he was foolish for driving away such an honest and kind person as Li's mother and marrying Ding Ping, a woman who only cared about money. Now, the family was about to fall apart, and they couldn't live like this anymore.

Grandpa Li and his father dared not utter a sound after being scolded. There was nothing they could do; they were now the lowest-ranking members of the family, especially Grandpa Li, who had absolutely no say in the household. Even if he didn't speak, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo would point their fingers at him and berate him, saying he had been lying there like a corpse for over ten years and still hadn't died. If he dared to speak, no matter what he said, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo would find fault with him and continue to berate him, driving Grandpa Li to the brink of despair. After all, he had lived a very prestigious life in the first half of his life, and his word was law in the family. But now, in his old age, he was being treated like this, which naturally made him furious.

Actually, given the miserable life Grandpa Li had led, he should have died long ago. But Linlang protected him, determined to let him live to the full age of the original owner's world, so that the rest of the Li family could experience the same suffering that the original owner and her daughter had endured. That's why Grandpa Li never died, and people found ways to insult him every day, which made Linlang extremely happy.

You know, this old bastard, back in his original world, was taken such good care of by Li's mother, yet he was still not satisfied and kept finding reasons to curse her every day. He really doesn't know how lucky he is. Since that's the case, let him see what kind of life he lives without Li's mother taking care of him.

Every now and then, Linlang would use dream props to put him in a dream in his original world where he was well taken care of by his mother, so that he would regret it.

Grandpa Li thought it was all a dream and didn't realize it was Linlang's doing. Looking at those dreams, Grandpa Li, lying in bed, was filled with regret. He thought about what kind of life he was living now. If his mother hadn't left, if he could live such a good life, he would never have cursed her again. Well, even now, he still thinks that not cursing his mother is a huge favor to her. It's ridiculous.

So he hoped that Li's mother would return so that Li's father and mother could remarry, and then he could finally live a good life. (End of Chapter)
