Chapter 1560 Good Luck Continues (50)
Unfortunately, Li's father would go to Linlang's address in Beijing every now and then, but no one was there each time. He couldn't find her even during the Spring Festival. It was said that she didn't come back for the Spring Festival. Isn't that obvious? Linlang and her family have a house in S City and have settled down. In addition, Linlang's parents-in-law have passed away, so they don't need to go back to Beijing for the Spring Festival. The whole family is in S City, so they naturally spend the Spring Festival there.

Linlang would only occasionally return to Beijing to buy old houses in preparation for demolition, but since Li's father was unaware of this, she naturally didn't run into him.

Since Li's father never met Li's mother, the Li family's plans naturally fell through.

Of course, even if they did run into them, Li's mother would not go back with them to be their slave.

Actually, the Li family is quite ridiculous. They applied the dream scenario to reality, thinking that since Li's mother was a slave in the dream, they could be a slave like in the dream and live a good life if they remarried Li's mother. But they didn't think that if someone is living a good life after a divorce, who would go back to living a hard life?
In the original world, Li's mother never had the courage to leave the Li family. She had never experienced a good life and didn't know how wonderful a good life was. In addition, the original owner was divorced and unemployed. Li's mother was afraid that if she and her daughter left, they wouldn't even be able to get a meal outside. That's why she kept working like a slave in the Li family.

Now, under Linlang's protection, Li's mother is living a much better life after the divorce than before. It's far better than the life she had as a slave in the original world. How could she possibly go back to the Li family and continue to be their slave? Li's mother isn't stupid.

Regarding who would take care of Grandpa Li, the Li family's final solution was for Li's father to take care of Grandpa Li, so that Grandpa Li's money could be saved and given to Li's father, and then divided between Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo.

As for Li's father, he has always been a chauvinist and has always been the one being taken care of. He has never taken care of anyone else. Now that he is at home all day, he has to take care of Grandpa Li's eating, drinking and toileting. If he is not used to it, then it is none of Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's business. After all, as long as the problem of Grandpa Li having no one to take care of him is solved, they will be satisfied.

However, Li's father taking care of Li's grandfather did not completely solve the problem, because it was troublesome when Li's father occasionally fell ill and could not take care of Li's grandfather. Every time Li's father fell ill, the Li family would quarrel, and the topic of the quarrel was nothing more than who took advantage of whom.

This situation only improved after Grandpa Li finally died, but by then it was already the 1990s, and many families had already made a fortune, while the Li family was still struggling.

The original owner's memories end here; what happened to the Li family afterward is unknown.

In this world, after Grandpa Li passed away, the Li family felt relieved.

But their joy didn't last long. Li's father's health deteriorated, and he became unable to take care of himself, requiring assistance. This time, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo didn't want to suffer, as neither of them wanted to care for him. So, they decided to sue Linlang, making her responsible for his support.

The two thought to themselves, "Hmph, you think you can hide? As long as we sue you, we'll definitely find you. Let's see how you hide then!" Li's mother had to come back to take care of Li's father!

In the 1960s and 70s, people were more naive, and the general rule was that whoever inherited the property should be responsible for supporting their parents in old age. However, after the 1990s, some people began to change their ways. Those who inherited property did not want to bear the responsibility of supporting their parents in old age and would still sue their other children who did not inherit property. This became especially evident in the new century—many people learned about the law on filial support and knew that regardless of whether parents had inherited property from a particular child, as long as that child was raised, the other child was obligated to support them. Therefore, many elderly people who inherited property from their sons then lived with their daughters and sons-in-law, relying on their daughters and sons-in-law to support them in old age.

Now, the situation is the same for the Li family. Although Linlang didn't receive much of Li's father's property—most of it went to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo—they lived the best lives of their generation in the 1960s and 70s. Li Qiuyun, in particular, frequently ate and drank well at state-run restaurants. But she didn't care that she had taken a lot of money from Li's father and lived a comfortable life when she was young. All she knew was that her life was worse than others now, so she wanted Linlang to support her in her old age.

Linlang naturally wouldn't do as they wished. After all, although that's what the law stipulates, there are different ways to provide for the elderly.

Providing them with good food and drink and plenty of money to support them in their old age is what Linlang does for Li's mother.

Giving someone twenty yuan a month and not even glancing at them is considered retirement, like how Linlang treats Li's father.

Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's lawsuit against Linlang was obviously effective, but... Linlang only gave Li's father twenty yuan a month in alimony.

As for visiting and taking care of Li's father, Linlang never showed up; and having Li's mother take care of Li's father was wishful thinking on their part.

It's not Linlang's fault. After all, the original owner of this body was raised by Li's mother from childhood to adulthood. Li's father neither gave the original owner any money nor took care of him. He only provided a sperm. So what's wrong with Linlang not taking care of him now? He was only able to do so because Li's mother didn't divorce him back then. Otherwise, Linlang would have sued him for not paying child support. Now that Linlang can still give him twenty yuan a month, she's already being very kind to him. Otherwise, given Li's father's situation of giving birth to the original owner but not raising him, Linlang wouldn't want to give a single penny.

Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo were completely helpless against Linlang. After all, Linlang would only show up when they were filing a lawsuit. Otherwise, if Linlang went to S City, where could they find her?

Although Linlang bought a house in S City and the police had Linlang and others' addresses in S City, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo were too old to travel that far to find Linlang's door and plead with her to come back and take care of their father.

Of course, they were also glad they didn't go, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to find Linlang, because Linlang's current residence in S City is a high-end residential area with very tight security, much tighter than the previous community in Sijiu City. No matter who it is, as long as the owner doesn't agree, no one can enter the community. In that case, how would they find Linlang?

However, they couldn't find Linlang's address either, because they weren't Linlang's parents. If they went to the police station to ask for Linlang's address, the police station wouldn't expose Linlang's privacy. As Linlang's father, Li could ask for Linlang's address, but Li was sick and lying in bed at the moment, so how could he go to the police station to find Linlang's address in S City?

Because Linlang simply ignored them and only sent them twenty yuan a month, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo were at their wits' end. Moreover, twenty yuan had depreciated considerably in the 1990s, with much less purchasing power than it had in the 1970s and 80s, which was far from enough to compensate for the hard work the two of them put into taking care of Li's father. So the two of them started to shirk their responsibilities again, and neither of them wanted to take care of Li's father anymore.
