That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 711 Isn’t it for you that I hide the money?

"Okay brother, I'll call you right away if there's anything. It's almost five minutes. Let's hang up first!"

Little sister Li Ying hung up the call with Li Ye at the right time and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After arriving in Hong Kong Island, Li Ying realized how expensive this place was. A simple meal would cost more than ten dollars, and a phone call would cost dozens more. After all, a bowl of noodles in the mainland costs only a few cents, but a long-distance call costs several dollars!
Although they arrived in Hong Kong Island and lived in Jin Peng's home, they couldn't let him pay for the phone bill, right?

To be honest, Li Ying is not a stingy child, but she came to Hong Kong Island with more than 8,000 yuan in her pocket, and she thought she was rich! But after calculating the treatment fees, medical expenses and other expenses, this 8,000 yuan did not seem to be enough.

"What were you talking about to my brother just now?"

"What?"

Li Ying was calculating the expenses carefully in her mind, but suddenly she heard her sister Li Juan opposite her coldly scolding her.

Li Juan said sternly: "What did you just say to our brother? Is that what you should say? Are you ashamed?"

"Are you ashamed?"

Li Ying blinked her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Why should I be embarrassed? Xia Yue and Cui Aiguo are the ones who are embarrassed, and Tong Mingyue is the one who is embarrassed!"

"You still don't admit it! You still don't admit it, mother, look at Xiaoying"

Sister Li Juan pulled Han Chunmei over and started to scold her: "Xiao Juan is only fifteen this year, but she said something 'slippery' to big brother. It's his job to say those dirty words that old women say. What would my brother think of this? What would my sister-in-law think of this?"

Li Juan was very angry and tried to grab her sister's collar with both hands several times, but in the end she gritted her teeth and reasoned with her.

Since entering university, Li Juan rarely uses "violent suppression" on her sister. Instead, she tries her best to be civilized, reason with her, and convince others with virtue. If it were in the past, she would have resorted to violence long ago.

But her younger sister Li Ying sneered and said, "How ridiculous! You don't understand the point at all. When your brother heard these words, he not only didn't feel it was dirty, but he felt relieved~"

"."

Li Juan was stunned, as if she had grasped the so-called "key point."

Meanwhile, Li Ying, the younger sister, had already started the "solving doubts" mode and said to her elder sister: "College student, you must have memorized these two lines of poetry, 'When the king's army conquers the Central Plains, do not forget to inform your father during the family sacrifice', right?

When revenge is achieved, everyone in the coffin wants to listen to it and vent their anger.
Now that Big Brother's enemy is in trouble, shouldn't we tell Big Brother right away? When Big Brother was slandered and accused of being Huang Shiren at school, didn't you know about it? "

"Of course I know. We were thinking of going after that Xia Yue and beating her up! If my brother hadn't moved to the Second Grain Store and my grandfather hadn't said that we weren't allowed to cause trouble for Xia Yue, which would have affected my brother's college entrance exams, I would have definitely given her two lumps on the head."

"Don't worry, there's still a long way to go!" The younger sister Li Ying said coldly, "Before, we had to call her aunt and we couldn't afford to offend her. Now she's just Tong Mingyue, so what's the big bump on her head?"

"Well, we should think about this matter carefully. She has been saying bad things about our mother over the years, saying that our mother has brought bad luck to the family. I must let her know what bad luck is in the future."

"."

Han Chunmei was stunned as she listened.

For so many years, she has always lived cautiously, and she had no idea that her two daughters were once so bold. And now it seems that they may become even bolder in the future.

"What are you two doing? Don't you think the house is messy enough? If you dare to cause trouble, I will beat your butts to pieces."

Han Chunmei raised her hands, pretended to be vicious, and sternly intimidated her two daughters.

It’s not Han Chunmei’s fault that she is timid. In the 1980s, as a divorced woman with two children, she had to lower herself to others and could only swallow the grievances she suffered. How could she dare to argue with others or seek revenge?
"Oh, don't worry, mom. I promise not to cause any trouble for you. We are just venting our anger verbally. We dare not swing a stick to hit someone on the back of the head!"

Li Ying reacted very quickly and immediately started to coax me with a smile, saying that Han Chunmei was very easy to coax anyway.

But this time Han Chunmei said sternly: "Your sister definitely wouldn't do that, but you can't say for sure. You're getting bolder and bolder. I knew you hid money before, but I didn't expect you to hide so much."

Li Juan, the elder sister, immediately turned against her and scolded her younger sister, "That's right, you dare to hide 8,000 yuan. Do you still have our mother in your eyes?"

The mother and her two children's trip to Hong Kong Island was almost aborted because Li Kaijian gave Han Chunmei two thousand yuan when they came to Hong Kong Island, and Han Chunmei had saved some of her own salary, so Li Kaijian thought it was enough for a trip.

But Li Kaijian didn't know Han Chunmei was going to the hospital! The medical expenses in Hong Kong Island were ridiculously high. Giving birth to a child in the mainland only cost a few dozen dollars, but taking a film in Hong Kong Island could cost ten times more. How could the poor afford to stay in the hospital?
Han Chunmei was too embarrassed to say it directly. What if she was pregnant with a girl again? Then she would still have to get the abortion, and it would be a false alarm.

That's why the younger daughter Li Ying was forced to show her own 8,000 yuan, otherwise Han Chunmei would not dare to come.

Han Chunmei was very shocked. In just one year, Li Ying had secretly hoarded more than 8,000 yuan just by using Sundays and winter and summer vacations.

Although Han Chunmei no longer asked Li Ying to hand over the money, she no longer believed that Li Ying was "cowardly."

If she were timid, there would be no brave person in the world.

"If I don't hide the money, what will you spend it on?"

Li Ying, who was scolded by her mother and sister, jumped three feet high and started to complain like an old farmer at the recollection meeting.

"Yes, I did hide the money, but wasn't it for you? If it weren't for me, would you be able to come to Hong Kong Island this time? You're still complaining about this and that, how about I buy you tickets and you go back now?, It's you, sister"

Li Ying, the younger sister, pointed at her older sister Li Juan and said, "Are you counting on our brother to pay for your dowry when you get married? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if our mother can't pay? Can I not hide the money?"

"Are you trying to say that I don't need to hide the money I make? You guys are just big mouths that leak information everywhere, letting everyone know that selling clothes is so profitable, then how can I make money?"

"."

Sister Li Juan and mother Han Chunmei were both shocked by Li Ying's full aura. Although Li Ying was young, every word she said was reasonable and firm. What a joke, if you have money in your hands, don't you speak with confidence?

If you keep complaining about this and that, I will buy you a ticket and send you back.

Li Juan felt very ashamed, lowered her head and said sincerely: "Xiaoying, don't worry about the dowry. I will pay for half of our mother's expenses for coming to Hong Kong Island this time. I will find a way to make money and give it to you."

This was the first time that Li Juan, the elder sister, bowed to her younger sister.

As the eldest sister, she let her younger sister become the mainstay of the family. How can this be justified? She must know shame and then be brave.

But Li Ying said impatiently: "Just study hard! If I rely on you to make money, what use am I? Don't think about this or that in the future.
Making money is important, but it is not the most important thing. I may not even be able to get into Beijing University! My mother still has to rely on you to keep up appearances. "

"."

Li Juan was really depressed. She really couldn't understand how the youngest child in the family could be so responsible?

However, Han Chunmei asked Li Ying in surprise: "Xiaoying, are you also going to take the entrance exam to Peking University?"

Han Chunmei knew that Li Ying's grades had improved rapidly this year, but Han Chunmei always thought that Li Ying was studying passively in order to "make money" and never thought that Li Ying also wanted to be admitted to Peking University.

Li Ying blinked her eyes again and said with a giggle, "Not necessarily. According to my analysis, it is getting harder and harder to get into Peking University. I will go for whichever school I can get into."

Han Chunmei couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and then she said excitedly: "Xiaoying, as long as you get into college, even if it's just a junior college, I will set off 10,000 firecrackers at the door of my house to let everyone see that my daughter is no worse than my son."

"That's right," Li Juan nodded and said, "It was only after I arrived at Peking University that I realized how lucky I was to be admitted.

Xiaoying, don't feel pressured. Since you are so good at making money, it doesn't matter which university you go to."

Li Juan is telling the truth.

Now, whenever she thought of Li Ying's eight thousand yuan, she felt powerless.

Even if I get a job after graduation, my annual salary is only 1,000 yuan! No wonder it is so popular to "go into the sea" recently! It is said that some teachers in the school go to the park at night to set up stalls as a "second job".

But Li Ying shook her head and said seriously: "You are wrong. If a good university is not important, why did my brother apply to Peking University?
Why did Liu's sister-in-law come to Hong Kong Island to give birth to her second child? Isn't it because she wants her child to go to a better university here? You study hard, and you become an official in the future, and I will make money. Neither of us can be without each other. "

"."

Han Chunmei and Li Juan fell silent.

After a long while, Li Juan solemnly apologized to her sister: "I'm sorry, Xiaoying, I wronged you before. You can see the future more clearly than I do."

"Of course," Li Ying said with a proud smile, "When it comes to studying, I'm definitely not as good as my brother, maybe even worse than you, but when it comes to vision and calculation, I'm only slightly worse than my brother, and you're all not as good as me."

"Duoduoduo~"

Li Ying was feeling proud when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

When the mother and her two daughters opened the door, they saw that it was Jin Peng's wife Liu Qiaorong.

Although Liu Qiaorong gave birth to a son as her first child, after hearing what An Xiaolian said about the situation in Hong Kong Island, she decisively decided to come here to have a second child. If she hadn't given Han Chunmei courage this time, no matter how Li Ying instigated her, it would have been useless.

After Liu Qiaorong came in, she took out a stack of golden Hong Kong dollars and handed it to Han Chunmei with a smile.

"Aunt, this is what Brother Li Ye asked me to bring to you. Count them, there are exactly one hundred."

"."

Han Chunmei quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, we brought money here, how can we spend Xiaoye's money again? No need."

"Aunt, you are being too polite."

Liu Qiaorong smiled and stuffed the Hong Kong dollars into Han Chunmei's hand: "Li Ye said that in Hong Kong Island, money can solve all problems.
You can hold the money and not spend it, but you must not be without it. We are unfamiliar with the place and cannot be short of money. "

"This, this, this is inappropriate. Xiao Ye is already married, and his money belongs to his family. If I spend his money again, people will criticize me."

Han Chunmei was still very conflicted. After all, she was a stepmother-in-law. If Wen Leyu knew that Li Ye gave him money and the young couple had a conflict, she would be guilty of a serious crime.

But Liu Qiaorong answered Li Ye's call and came over to give the money, so how could she take it back? In the end, she put the money down.

After Liu Qiaorong left, Li Juan and Han Chunmei counted the stack of Hong Kong dollars and found that it was exactly 100,000 yuan.

The mother and daughter, who had been struggling financially, immediately felt relieved.

But the little sister Li Ying next to her was worried.

She didn't talk to her sister and mother, but she was struggling in her heart: "Does my brother know the purpose of our coming to Hong Kong Island? What is his opinion?"

"Oh, I can't guess it! When it comes to scheming, I'm not even a little bit worse than him!"
