Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 672 This is more than just getting through the tough times.

"It's alright, Yuzhen can drive! We'll let her drive then!" Li Weiguo waved his hand and said with a chuckle.

“No, I’m not even very good at driving that car, let alone her,” Li Weihua said, shaking his head with a serious expression.

"Oh? You're not driving the same car as before? You bought a new one?"

At this point, Li Weiguo belatedly realized why his younger brother, Li Weihua, had specifically said that he couldn't drink and drive—it turned out he wanted to show off that he had bought a new car!
Moreover, according to Li Weihua, if a veteran driver who has been driving for over twenty years says he doesn't know how to drive, then it must be a luxury car that ordinary people can never afford in their entire lives.

Thinking of this, before Li Weiguo could guess what kind of luxury car Li Guoqiang would buy, Li Weihua waved his hand smugly and laughed, "Hey, isn't it just that Guoqiang is showing off after making some money? I didn't know he would buy a Porsche. The car cost over 160 yuan to get on the road. He really has money to burn."

After saying that, he glared at Li Guoqiang, pretending to be somewhat dissatisfied.

However, the barely suppressed smile on his lips had already betrayed him.

"That's really quite smug!" Li Weiguo watched Li Weihua's performance, his lips twitching slightly, and then he nodded with amusement.

In fact, for him, a Porsche worth more than 1.6 million yuan is not much.

When he was still in office, he saw quite a few luxury cars.

Not to mention cars worth millions, he has even had the privilege of riding in cars worth five or six million.

Moreover, he had already guessed that Li Guoqiang had earned more than two or three million this time.

Therefore, it's not unusual for people to spend money on a car worth over a million yuan these days.

The only thing that surprised him was Li Guoqiang's composure.

After all, it's common knowledge that luxury cars costing over a million typically take more than half a month to arrive.

In other words, Li Guoqiang had already earned several million yuan at least a month ago.

In this situation, if it were anyone else, they would probably have already been eager to show off to their relatives and friends.

Li Guoqiang, however, did not reveal any information at all. His composure is truly remarkable!
If things continue like this, it's likely that Li Guoqiang will become the head of this small family in the future.

"It's alright, big brother, I'll have a few drinks with you later!" Liu Yuzhen waved her hand and said hastily when she saw the atmosphere getting a bit awkward.

Anyway, she doesn't have to drive later, so she might as well take advantage of this happy moment and have a drink to celebrate.

“Okay, let’s drink!” Li Weiguo immediately accepted Liu Yuzhen’s offer.

Soon, he poured a glass of Moutai for both Liu Yuzhen and himself.

Upon seeing this, Sun Cailan hurriedly went to the refrigerator and grabbed a few bottles of drinks.

At the dinner table, no one talked about anything serious; they just chatted about everyday things and gossiped.

After finishing their meal, Li Weihua realized it was getting late, so he didn't linger and said goodbye to Li Weiguo and Sun Cailan before heading to Li Guoqiang's aunt's house.

However, just before she was about to leave, Sun Cailan received a message from her second sister saying that no one was home.

So they changed their route and headed straight for Li Guoqiang's aunt's house.

Furthermore, Sun Cailan also plans to settle accounts with her older sister for the previous misleading introductions she received.

You have to understand, Li Guoqiang is the other party's own nephew. Even if you want to cheat someone, you can't cheat your own nephew, right?

"Guoqiang, when you have time, keep in touch with your brother Guang and Atao. After all, you are cousins, and you can't let outsiders laugh at you!"

Li Weiguo escorted Li Guoqiang's family to the underground parking lot, and then solemnly gave Li Guoqiang some instructions.

"I will!" Li Guoqiang nodded immediately upon hearing this.

However, saying it is one thing, doing it is another.

His two cousins ​​didn't grow up together, so their relationship was only so-so.

Even if he takes the initiative to contact the other party, the other party may not be willing to talk to him.

Therefore, let's wait until we have the opportunity to watch it slowly later!
"Okay! Then be careful on the road!" Li Weiguo's expression softened, and he softly gave a word of advice before taking a few steps back to watch Li Guoqiang drive away.

"Hey, do you think Guoqiang really made 300 million?" Sun Cailan looked at the taillights of the car disappearing into the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ha! If you ask me, you shouldn't worry about whether he made that much or not. For us ordinary folks, there's not much difference between 30 million and 300 million." Li Weiguo couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

In addition, there was something else he didn't say: Li Guoqiang is only in his early thirties, yet he's already handling business worth over 300 million yuan.

So after a few years, let alone earning 300 million, even 1 billion is possible.

After all, youth is an asset!

Moreover, for ordinary people who want to turn their lives around, the most important thing is to earn their first pot of gold.

Once you have your first pot of gold, making more money becomes much easier.

Take Li Guoqiang as an example. Whether he has millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions in his hands, his economic level has already distanced him from that of ordinary wage earners. He no longer needs to work hard to support himself.

In comparison, he struggled for most of his life to earn a monthly pension of eight or nine thousand yuan.

Li Guoqiang doesn't need much money; he only needs to deposit ten million yuan in the bank, and the interest he can get every year is already higher than his retirement pension.

Thinking about it, it still makes me feel a little bittersweet!

“That’s true!” Sun Cailan was slightly taken aback when she heard Li Weiguo’s words, and then she agreed with a deep sense of conviction.

In fact, once a person's wealth reaches a certain level, it is already enough to meet most of their needs in life. Even if their wealth were increased several times or ten times, it wouldn't make much difference.

Thinking of this, Sun Cailan couldn't help but sigh, "Now, Ahua and Azhen have finally made it through." "It's more than just making it through! Maybe our family will even benefit from their success in the future!" Li Weiguo glanced at Sun Cailan and then said somewhat irritably.

After saying that, he thought of his two good-for-nothing sons and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then he turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Seeing this, Sun Cailan seemed to have guessed Li Weiguo's thoughts, and a look of melancholy appeared on her face.

As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.

Their family is considered to be quite well-off, but precisely because their conditions are good, they lack the motivation to work hard, which has resulted in their two sons being only average in various aspects.

If they knew that Li Guoqiang's cousin had likely become a billionaire, I wonder how they would feel.
At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea what Li Weiguo and Sun Cailan were thinking. He drove Li Weihua and Liu Yuzhen, and soon they arrived at the home of his aunt Liu Yumei.

"No, this...this car belongs to your family?" Liu Yumei stood at the gate of her yard, her eyes widening as she watched Li Guoqiang and his family get out of a Porsche.

She had originally thought that Liu Yuzhen's visit was to tell her about introducing a potential partner to Li Guoqiang.

Only now does she realize that Liu Yuzhen came here to show off to her.

“Yes! Guoqiang just bought this car. What do you think? Isn’t it beautiful?” Liu Yuzhen was delighted to see her older sister’s shocked expression, and then nodded proudly.

Compared to her older brother, she and her older sister Liu Yumei were in similar circumstances, both belonging to the lower class.

Therefore, she was able to be more relaxed in front of Liu Yumei and showed off without any pressure.

"No, what exactly happened?" Liu Yumei came to her senses, grabbed Liu Yuzhen's hand, and asked with a face full of curiosity.

As far as she knew, wasn't Li Guoqiang's nephew working at a bar in Shenzhen?
Although I heard there are dividends from shares, he's still just an employee. How come he suddenly has so much money to buy such a nice car?

"Here's what happened." Upon hearing this, Liu Yuzhen immediately recounted in detail how Li Guoqiang had partnered with someone to make two or three million yuan on a project.

Furthermore, in order to convince Liu Yumei, she mentioned that she had previously visited Liu Mingwei as proof.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yumei was instantly stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

After all, this kind of thing sounds far too fantastical.

You have to understand, that's two or three million, not twenty or thirty thousand, and certainly not two or three thousand.

If she hadn't been certain it was daytime, she probably would have thought she was dreaming.

"Big sister, big sister, are you alright?" Liu Yuzhen frowned when she saw Liu Yumei standing there in a daze, and then called out to her a few times with some concern.

"Oh! I'm fine!" Liu Yumei came to her senses, hurriedly shook her head, and then turned her gaze to Li Weihua and Li Guoqiang, the father and son standing behind her, and finally to the valuable gifts that Li Guoqiang was carrying.

"Miss!"

"Auntie!"

When Li Weihua and Li Guoqiang saw Liu Yumei looking over, they immediately greeted her.

"Hey, come in and sit down, come in and sit down!" Liu Yumei nodded in agreement and then hurriedly invited them in.

As she spoke, she took Liu Yuzhen's hand and led Li Guoqiang and his family into her house, where they sat on the sofa in the living room.

Immediately afterwards, she busied herself boiling water and making tea.

"Big sister, where is my brother-in-law?" Liu Yuzhen sat on the sofa, looked around the room, and then asked with some doubt.

"Oh! Him! He went fishing early this morning and didn't even come back for lunch. I don't know what he's trying to do. He hasn't caught a single big fish. He always catches tiny fish the size of a finger, which the cats refuse to eat." Liu Yumei said with a hint of annoyance.

"Ha! If he doesn't go fishing, you can't expect him to play mahjong or race horses, can you?" Liu Yuzhen thought to herself with amusement, then chuckled and asked.

“Oh, that’s true!” Liu Yumei was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

If you go fishing, you'll only waste some time and money on bait. But if you go to play mahjong or horse racing, you could lose your entire savings in no time.

Moreover, at their age, they already have grandchildren, and if they don't have any hobbies to pass the time, they can get quite bored!
As they were talking, the tea was already brewed.

Liu Yumei poured a cup of tea for Li Weihua, Liu Yuzhen, and Li Guoqiang, then turned her gaze to Li Guoqiang's face, revealing a generous expression of admiration.

"Guoqiang, I've always said you'd be successful when you grew up, and now it's come true, hasn't it?"

"Auntie, you flatter me!" Li Guoqiang was secretly pleased, then waved his hand and said modestly.

"By the way! You've made so much money this time, why don't you think about buying a house first? That way, it'll be easier for you to go on blind dates in the future, right?" Liu Yumei thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

“I bought it, I already bought it!” Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and then chuckled as he spoke.

"Bought it? Where did you buy it? Do you have a photo? Show it to me quickly!" Liu Yumei's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she asked impatiently.

At the same time, Li Weihua and Liu Yuzhen, who heard Li Guoqiang say that he had bought a house, were suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Guoqiang with some doubt, as if they did not know whether he was telling the truth or not.

"Here! This is the house I bought!" Li Guoqiang took out his phone, operated it for a moment, and then placed some photos of the house that Gu Lingfei had taken in front of Liu Yumei.

"This house is so beautiful!" Liu Yumei was instantly stunned when she saw it.

Normally, she only looked at those small apartments of about a hundred square meters in the county town, and never imagined that Li Guoqiang would buy such a luxurious duplex apartment.

"No, son, you really bought a house?" Liu Yuzhen snatched the phone, looked at the photos of the house, and asked in surprise.

Although Li Weihua didn't say anything, a look of surprise also appeared on his face.

"Well, I was planning to start an investment company with a friend! So I bought one for him to make things easier in the future," Li Guoqiang said with a slight smile.

He originally didn't plan to reveal the house purchase so soon, but his uncle seemed to have figured out that he was earning more than just two or three million, so he thought he might as well take this opportunity to reveal more.
