80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 393 Let's get down to business
Xu Qingyue changed the subject: "Xiao Gui, we're out of salt at home, can you buy some?"

"Oh." Lee Jin-kyu took out his blood pressure medication from his pocket: "Grandpa, here you go."

"Sigh." After taking the medicine, Grandpa Li mixed it with water and drank it. Just thinking about Li Yingtang's parents made his blood pressure rise with anger. "Tangtang, your parents won't be with you for the New Year."

Li Yingtang's eyes swept past the window as Li Zhengui's figure disappeared into the courtyard. "Keep me company, always."

"You often accompany Xiao Nian, so I agree to let you come to our house?" Old Master Li thought Li Yingtang was lying.

Forehead.
Li Yingtang was at a loss for words, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Is that not allowed?"

Grandpa Li: "Were you adopted by your parents?"

Li Yingtang laughed and said, "I'm his biological son. Everyone says that I look a lot like my dad."

Grandpa Li said, "Looking alike doesn't mean it is. You and our Xiao Gui look alike very much."

Even some behavioral habits are the same.

how to explain?

Li Yingtang smiled enigmatically: "Really? I don't think so."

Grandma Li: "It's just like it, it's very similar."

"What does it look like?" Li Tang stepped in: "Tangtang's here."

Li Yingtang: "Mm."

Grandma Li said, "Tangtang said that other people say she looks like her father, and your father says she looks like Xiao Gui."

Li Tang's gaze swept over Li Yingtang's face. Indeed.

If they didn't look so alike, he would never have imagined that she was his granddaughter.

"Who knows, maybe Xiao Gui will have a daughter who looks just like Tang Tang," Li Tang said meaningfully.

Li Yingtang thought it was just a casual joke and didn't take it seriously.

Grandma Li laughed and said, "If Xiao Gui can give birth to such a good child in the future, I can die in peace."

Xu Qingyue: "Mom, don't say that during the New Year."

Grandma Li chuckled and said, "Oh."

At this moment, Li Zhengui returned with salt, holding three candied hawthorns in his hand. He ate one, handed it to Xu Qingyue, and gave the other one to Li Yingtang.

Li Tang: "We don't have any?"

“Don’t you not like sweets? Grandma thinks they’re sticky, and Grandpa has bad teeth, so it’s just the three of us eating them.” Li Zhenkui spat out a seed: “If I were selling them, I would definitely clean the inside thoroughly.”

Li Yingtang: "I've sold them before, but removing the seeds is too much trouble."

Li Tang asked in surprise, "You've sold candied hawthorns before?"

Li Yingtang lowered her eyes. Oh no, she had said too much. "Ahem, Ah Xian's situation isn't good. My family doesn't approve of me being with him. His salary isn't much; it's only enough to feed two people. It's not easy for them to eat anything good. He sells candied hawthorns to supplement the family income."

Old Master Li objected again: "Comrade Qin is a college student, handsome, and of good character. When a woman gets married, character is the most important thing. What do your parents have to disagree with?"

Li Zhengui: "It's normal to disagree. Qin Xian's salary isn't even as much as my brother's New Year's money."

Old Master Li gently scolded, "Children, go away when adults are talking."

Lee Jin-gyu snorted.

Li Yingtang laughed and said, "Ah Shan's salary is not low now, several hundred a month. Who gets so much New Year's money?"

“My brother receives over ten thousand yuan in New Year’s money. He has two uncles, three aunts, and two cousins. Each of them gives him over a thousand yuan, and all sorts of relatives and friends in the family give him at least fifty yuan.” Li Zhengui was extremely envious: “When I have children in the future, I’ll give them over ten thousand yuan every time I give them.”

Li Tang: "Stop bragging."

Li Yingtang nodded silently. She had never seen his tens of thousands of yuan. The red envelopes he gave were very stingy, with five yuan, ten yuan, and the largest being one hundred yuan.

He said: You don't lack anything, what do you need money for?
However, tens of thousands of yuan is not a small amount these days.

His friends received over a thousand yuan in New Year's money from close relatives.

The family must earn more; a thousand yuan is nothing to them.

That much money wouldn't come from legitimate channels; it's highly likely they're involved in shady activities.

Lee Jin-kyu retorted, "My brother said it himself."

"Which brother? Don't associate with this kind of braggart in the future," Li Tang ordered.

Lee Jin-gyu's eyes reddened with grievance, and he was given further instructions on how to make friends.

Does being a parent mean you can do whatever you want?
Lee Ying-tang changed the subject: "Lee Jin-kyu, didn't you want to go skiing? Shall we go on New Year's Day?" Lee Jin-kyu's mood instantly brightened: "Okay."

Xu Qingyue: "How can you skate with such a big belly? You'll fall and cause serious injury."

Li Yingtang: "I watched him play."

"The track is slippery."

"I will pay attention."

Xu Qingyue stopped him: "Don't go, Lao Li. You take Xiao Gui with you. I'll come too. We haven't gone out to play in a long time, so let's spend some time with the kids."

"Row."

Li Yingtang was thus excluded.

Li Yingtang left at 2:30 pm.

I arrived home close to evening and sat down in the living room to rest, sitting next to the sofa for less than five minutes.

Aunt Wang said that a woman outside came to talk about renting a room. "We need to rent out this house."

Li Yingtang: "Take her to the reception room of the house I used to live in and wait for me."

"Eh."

Li Yingtang walked to the coat rack, put on her coat, casually wrapped a scarf around her neck, and put on her shoes before going to the reception room in the front row to meet the other party.

I was startled when I saw the person.

It was Zhong Nana!

After a period of time apart, the other party appeared particularly down on their luck.

He was dressed sloppily and had a sallow complexion.

The family went bankrupt?
"Miss Zhong, are you renting an apartment?"

After Zhong Nana and Li Yingtang locked eyes, Zhong Nana blushed and turned to leave, saying, "I'm not renting it anymore."

Li Yingtang stopped her and said loyally, "Everyone has difficult times. We're friends, so just tell me and I'll do my best to help."

Zhong Nana stopped and said, "I...I'm pregnant." Her eyes reddened. "My family is different from Zhu Youqing's. They were angry and kicked me out. My friends don't take me in either. I can only stay in guesthouses. I'm running out of money and I have nowhere to go."

Li Yingtang had anticipated this.

Zhong Nana has an outgoing personality, so her parents must be materialistic.

How could Zhu Youqing's qualifications possibly meet your standards?

What about Zhu Youqing?

In freezing cold, why would you send a pregnant woman out to look for a place to live?

hateful!

Zhong Nana was even more foolish, defying her parents for a man who lived off her, and even getting pregnant out of wedlock.

They have inadvertently narrowed their own path.

She said, "I haven't paid the heating bill for my apartment. It's so cold, you probably can't stand it. Why don't you stay here?"

Zhong Nana was stunned: "You, you're willing to take me in?" Could it be to see Zhu Youqing?
“There are conditions. My husband is abroad, and there’s no man at home. You can’t bring Comrade Zhu in, not even to meet at the door. If my housekeeper sees us, we’re done being friends,” Li Yingtang said upfront.

Zhong Nana's expression was complicated; she had thought Li Yingtang was going to take advantage of her vulnerability. "Okay, I promise you."

Having received the promise, Li Yingtang asked the aunt to arrange for Zhong Nana to stay. "Have you eaten? Come sit in the living room first. The chairs here are too hard and not suitable for pregnant women."

"Thank you, but I... I don't have anything to eat," Zhong Nana said embarrassedly.

Li Yingtang then instructed the aunt to cook dumplings.

Zhong Nana walked beside Li Yingtang, looking around at the hanging flower gate, the connecting corridor, and the courtyard.

It has a unique artistic conception.

She said, "My old family house is bigger than this."

Li Yingtang thought to herself, "If that's the case, why aren't you enjoying life? Why are you running around renting a place? You must have been cursed."

Even if it's not bitter, just endure it!

Enter the living room.

She said, "Do as you please, I need to go out for a bit."
