Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 677 Could it still be 50?

"I'll go!"

The next moment, before Li Guolan could say anything, Li Guoqiang's voice suddenly rang out.

"You're going?" Li Guolan and Chen Haitao were stunned when they heard this.

Although their daughter and son have a good relationship with Li Guoqiang, it hasn't reached that level yet.

Moreover, their daughter and son are 14 years old and just started junior high school, and 10 years old and just started fifth grade. The age gap between them and Li Guoqiang is too big.

This isn't just one generation gap, it's almost two!

"What? What's wrong with me, the brother-in-law, going to pick up my nephew and niece?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow as he met the gazes of Li Guolan and Chen Haitao, and then spoke with a somewhat righteous tone.

"Do you know where their school is?" Li Guolan rolled her eyes and asked somewhat irritably.

“Just tell me, that’s all.” Li Guoqiang’s expression turned serious, and he spoke with a certain self-righteousness.

After all, he only has one nephew and one niece.

He didn't have the chance before, but now that he's made it big and bought a luxury car worth millions, he definitely has to show it off to his nephew and niece!

Otherwise, what's the point of living?
"Alright! I'll send you the location in a bit, and then you can go pick it up!" Seeing Li Guoqiang's insistence, Li Guolan could only nod helplessly and agree.

After saying that, she took out her phone from her pocket and sent her location to Li Guoqiang. Then, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly instructed, "By the way, you go pick up Siya first, and then pick up Siqi. Call me if there are any problems."

"Okay, I'll go first then." Li Guoqiang nodded in agreement, then turned and walked towards the cool white Panamera.

Seeing this, Li Guolan couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Because she had raised Li Guoqiang since he was a child, she knew his personality very well.

To put it bluntly, she knew what Li Guoqiang wanted to do the moment he turned his backside up.

He's already in his early thirties, why does he still act like a child, showing off whenever he gets the chance?
And he was showing off to two kids who were around ten years old?

That's really impressive!

No!

Now her younger brother is no longer an ordinary person, but a wealthy and eligible bachelor with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

As Li Guoqiang's only sister, she had to be responsible for him and couldn't let him continue to be so naive.

In her opinion, the best way to help Li Guoqiang mature is to help him marry a good wife.

However, she is almost forty years old, and most of her friends are also around that age, so she can't think of any suitable girl for the time being.

If all else fails, then she will have to ask all her relatives and friends to help her look for it.

Moreover, she knew that Li Guoqiang had always had high standards; he had to find someone who was virtuous, beautiful, and had a great figure.

Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way for Li Guoqiang to take a liking to him.

"Hey honey, how much money did Qiang actually make just from casually buying that million-dollar luxury car?"

At this moment, Chen Haitao held back for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"I asked, and they said they made several million," Li Guolan replied immediately upon hearing this.

"No, what exactly did he do to earn so much money all at once?" Chen Haitao's eyes widened, his face full of longing.

There was a time when he dreamed of making money so that Li Guolan and the children could live a better life and have a home of their own as soon as possible.

What he wanted most was to become rich overnight like Li Guoqiang.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could only come up with some very cruel ideas, and he couldn't think of anything feasible.

"Alright, stop asking so many questions. Who would talk about making money like this?" Li Guolan pouted and said somewhat irritably.

In fact, she didn't really ask Li Guoqiang how he earned those 300 million yuan.

Even if Li Guoqiang were willing to tell her, she knew she definitely couldn't learn it.

Therefore, rather than asking and annoying others, it's better not to ask at all in the first place!

"That's true!" Chen Haitao nodded in agreement as soon as he heard this.

Perhaps because he entered the workforce at a relatively young age, he was able to understand many life principles even though he didn't have much formal education.

He has a particularly deep understanding of making money.

It's fair to say that no one would be willing to share something that can make money for free.

If someone suddenly tells you that you can make money doing something, it's usually because they want to make money off you.

"Alright, stop worrying about my brother making money. He's already lent me enough to live comfortably." Seeing the disappointment on Chen Haitao's face, Li Guolan held back for a moment, but ultimately couldn't help but bring up the matter of borrowing money.

"Borrow money? You mean A-Qiang lent you money? How much?" Chen Haitao was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly asked.

"50!" Li Guolan suppressed her excitement and said calmly.

"50 yuan?" Chen Haitao's eyes widened, then he looked at Li Guolan with some surprise.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I would borrow 50 yuan from someone?" Li Guolan was furious when she heard this.

"So you said 50? Not 50 yuan? Or is it 50?" Chen Haitao curled his lip and said somewhat indignantly.

After he finished speaking, he noticed Li Guolan staring at him without saying a word. Suddenly realizing something, he froze for a moment, then stammered out a question:
"Could it really be 5050 million?"

“Yes! Look, Qiang had his mom transfer it to me.” Li Guolan nodded, then shoved the bank transfer notification on her phone right in front of Chen Haitao, a hint of pride on her face.

Although Chen Haitao has always treated her very well since they got married.

But occasionally, Chen Haitao would criticize her, complaining that she didn't earn enough money and that her family wasn't well-off. Especially when she was giving birth and taking care of the baby, she wasn't working and spoke to Chen Haitao with less confidence.

Now, she can finally stand up straight and speak loudly to Chen Haitao.

"No, he really lent you that much money on his own initiative?" Chen Haitao stared at the bank transfer information for a while, then asked incredulously.

It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it; it was simply because he had seen too many siblings turn against each other over money.

Li Guoqiang, the brother-in-law, was somewhat considerate of his sister Li Guolan, and would occasionally transfer some money to her to help her out.

However, he still found it hard to believe that someone would lend Li Guolan 50 yuan right away.

You know, this is 50 million!

Based on his average monthly salary of 7000 yuan, it would take him six years of working without eating or drinking to save that much.

If you factor in all the expenses of living, it would take forever to save up that much.

"What? The money has already been deposited into your account, and you still don't believe it?" Li Guolan raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of amusement.

"No, I just feel like it's not quite real," Chen Haitao shook his head and muttered to himself.

After all, in order to build the house, he had to beg and plead, find people to buy materials and do the construction on credit, and he had to calculate and calculate the money in his hand again and again, almost splitting every penny in half to spend.

Nowadays, Li Guoqiang only needs to say a few words to get his mother-in-law to lend them 50 yuan.

This would not only allow them to pay off all their outstanding material and construction costs, but also give them money to renovate the house beautifully, and even leave them with a considerable amount of money to improve their lives.

Thinking about these things, he couldn't help but feel a sense of ease emanating from within.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, did A-Qiang say when he was going to pay me back?"

"He didn't say that, but as you know, my brother isn't married yet. If he gets married, we can't just refuse to pay back the money, can we?" Li Guolan shook her head and answered softly.

Although she knew that with Li Guoqiang's current wealth, he would definitely not ask her for the money back in the future, and even if she wanted to repay the money, Li Guoqiang would find an excuse to tell her not to repay it first.

In other words, this money was given to her, her older sister, under the guise of a loan.

However, even though she knew it, she couldn't tell Chen Haitao that.

One reason was that she didn't want Chen Haitao to think that Li Guoqiang's money was easy to take, and then think about taking it again.

On the other hand, it was because she didn't want Chen Haitao to lose his motivation to strive.

"Yes, you're right." Chen Haitao nodded in agreement as soon as he heard Li Guolan's words.

Of course, he didn't intend to renege on the money. The reason he asked the question was because he needed to know the specifics in order to make the next arrangements.

Just as he was thinking about whether to discuss with Li Guolan to settle the cost of materials and the project payment first, Li Guoqiang had already driven his very cool Panamera to the No. 1 Middle School in Binhai Town.

Furthermore, he was lucky enough to snag a parking spot not far from the school gate.

He then got out of the car and looked around at the parents who had come to pick up their children by car or bicycle. He couldn't find any car that was more eye-catching than his Panamera, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Actually, he wasn't surprised that this situation occurred.

After all, this is just a township middle school in a small county town.

It would be really strange if there were many people with the same million-dollar luxury cars as him!

"Hey, Siya, can I hitch a ride home with your mom later? My mom told the teacher she had something come up and couldn't come pick me up, so she asked me to wait for her at school, but I don't want to wait!"

At the school gate, a sweet-looking and slightly mischievous girl reached out and grabbed her companion's arm, then asked in a pitiful tone.

Upon hearing this, the boy with a youthful and well-behaved appearance, wearing a bun hairstyle and black-rimmed glasses, immediately nodded and agreed:

“Sure! Anyway, your house is on the way to mine, so I’ll just have my brother squat in front.”

As she spoke, she looked around outside the school gate, as if searching for something.

She looked around but couldn't find the person she was looking for, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Based on past experience, her mother, Li Guolan, would usually wait outside the school gate in advance so as to pick up her younger brother and go home together.

But it's already past school dismissal time, why hasn't Li Guolan come yet?

Could it be that, like her classmate, roommate, and best friend Zhao Manni's mother, something came up and she was delayed?
Just as she was wondering whether to tell Zhao Manni, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, which instantly stunned her.

"Hi!" Li Guoqiang waved to his eldest niece while biting into a sausage, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

It is said that his sister Li Guolan and his brother-in-law Chen Haitao are not the handsome couple, but just ordinary people. So how come their daughter is so beautiful?
With her youthful and well-behaved appearance, and a figure that even the oversized school uniform couldn't hide, she would be absolutely stunning if she wore a JK uniform!
Could it be that this is due to genetic inheritance that skipped generations and was passed down to Chen Haitao's mother, who is also Chen Siya's grandmother?
Thinking about this, he took a closer look and found that after growing up for more than half a year, Chen Siya really did have some of her grandmother's features.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, Chen Siya also came to her senses and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I've come to pick you up from school!" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and then chuckled as he answered.

"Then what about my mom?" Chen Siya's face showed even deeper confusion upon hearing this.

As far as I can remember, her uncle, who was quite old, had never come to pick her up from school.

This sudden action makes it hard for her not to suspect that something might have happened to her mother or her family, which is why she had to ask her uncle, Li Guoqiang, who works in Shenzhen, for help.

"Your mom! Your mom cooks delicious food for me at home!" Li Guoqiang said with a smug grin.

"Oh!" Upon hearing this answer, Chen Siya couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This gesture, combined with her appearance and figure, already exudes a hint of coquettish charm.

However, Li Guoqiang didn't feel anything special about it, because at this moment, he had already been attracted by the sweet-looking, somewhat playful, and fair-skinned girl next to Chen Siya.
