Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 85 What if...

The lower face looks like a bereaved father.

The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand. Being embarrassed is as serious as losing your father.

This is enough to show how serious the matter of losing face is in the hearts of Chaocheng people.

Instead of causing any trouble, you were pushed over by a half-grown idiot with a burned-out brain. Isn't that embarrassing enough?
The man who was causing the trouble immediately grabbed the briefcase under his armpit and tried to hit Chen Manyu.

Chen Manyu dared to fight back at that time only because the man was about to attack Li Xunli. In a fit of rage, all he could think about was protecting Li Xunli.

But when he became the one to be beaten, all he could think about was his grandmother's warning not to cause trouble. He quickly put his hands on his head and squatted down.

Li Xunli quickly bent down and pulled the man up, holding him tightly in her arms, staring at the troublemaker with a tense expression.

The villagers who were watching the excitement saw that the man really wanted to fight. Those who were closest to him immediately rushed over and hugged the man's arms, shouting: "Li Bo! Let's talk it out! Why are you fighting with fellow villagers?"

Those who were far away would immediately go to the ancestral hall to invite the elders to come over when they heard the news.

Those who can live in the same village are basically relatives from the same ancestral hall. Even if the blood relationship is very distant, they still have roots in the ancestral hall.

Li Xunjin also took a step forward and stood in front of Li Xunli and the others with Wu Jingyuan.

Shen Qingqing arrived at this time and mixed in the crowd to hear everything that happened.

After looking at her mother and finding no signs of injury on her body, she felt a little relieved.

The man causing the trouble was called Li Bo. After being stopped by his fellow villagers, he put down his hands and hands. However, he continued to shout, "You're not going to pay me back, and you're still hitting me! You're making money from my mother, and you don't feel guilty about it, do you?"

"You're so protective of this wild, parentless kid, you're so eager to be his mother!"

"How can you have the nerve to harm someone else's mother when you know she's protecting you?"

Li Xunli didn't want to tell what the old lady said that day, thinking about how the old lady choked up at the end and asked her to keep it a secret, saying that she didn't want the family's dirty laundry to be made public. She has always been soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see the elderly and children suffer.

But now that Li Bo is making such a shameless scene, why should she, an unrelated person, give face to such a scoundrel?
Seeing that the elders had arrived, Li Xunli opened her voice and started speaking.

"Guilty? Why don't you tell me that you felt guilty when your mother was so angry at your new mistress that she ran away from home and cried in the old house hugging your father's portrait?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me why I'm protecting Manyu? Because I'm a human being! I'm from the Li clan! Manyu's mother is also from the Li clan! We're all from the same clan. The child lost his parents when he was young. Is it wrong for me to take care of him? He calls me aunt, so shouldn't he call you uncle?"

"And I'm the one who harmed your mother? Don't you know who harmed your mother? Do you really think no one knows about the little things going on in your family? Your previous wife served you like this, but when you made a little money, you married a mistress and drove her away. Now that mistress has angered your mother and she's in the hospital, you're acting like a filial son again?"

"How dare you pretend to be a filial son? You irresponsible loser! Your mother raised you to this age, and now at her old age, you're still pissed off by your mistress. You've got no one to turn to and can only cry while hugging your father's portrait. I don't believe your father won't look for you when you go back to bed tonight!"

Li Bo made his fortune in his early years by reselling PHS phones. Later, he moved out of Lijia Village and bought a house in a community in the next town. Now his business has expanded to Southeast Asia, and many people in the village know about it.

However, not everyone can afford to buy an apartment in a residential complex in the next town, so naturally, they don’t know much about their future development.

It wasn't until the beginning of last year when Li Bo's wife suddenly came back and announced a divorce that everyone began to learn about their family's affairs, though not much was known. After all, divorce is still a very shameful thing for women these days, especially those in Chaocheng.

Li Bo’s wife, now should be called ex-wife, Li Bo’s ex-wife didn’t want to say much, and she didn’t stay at home for long before going out to work.

Now that the topic of discussion is gone, the gossip will naturally fade away.

No one expected that they would encounter such a big melon from Li Xunli.

But no one said that it was wrong for Li Bo to marry a mistress.

"Li Bo, this is exactly what you're doing wrong. Your mother has been through a lot over the years and everyone has seen it. How can you treat your mother like this after you marry her?"

"Yeah, Huili was so nice to your mother before. If you want to marry a mistress, you have to marry someone who is similar to Huili!"

"Your parents are from the same clan as us. The people who are here are all elders from the same clan temple. What did you think of letting your mother come to the old house crying while holding your father's portrait? Are you doing your father justice?"

"And Xunli is right! They're all from the same clan, so what's wrong with her taking care of Xiaofen's child? When Liqun and Xiaofen were around, weren't they all brothers? But you left Manyu as a child, and you're actually fighting with a child?"

"..."

The accusations and disapproval from people around him made Li Bo feel even more ashamed, and his face turned red.

"That's my family's business! It's none of her business! She keeps talking about the Li Clan Ancestral Hall, but now she's married and she's still talking about the Li Clan Ancestral Hall! If it weren't for the dust from your porcelain firing that gave my mother lung disease, she would have lived in the old house forever and she would have been fine!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of several elders darkened.

But it’s not that Li Bo was wrong to accuse Li Xunli of not being considered a member of the Li clan ancestral hall after she got married, but because Li Bo said that his mother would live in the old house for the rest of her life.

It is one thing that the elderly are unwilling to leave, but as a younger generation, it is your duty to support the elderly. Now you marry a mistress who is of questionable character and make your mother angry and return to the old house. This is destroying your own good karma!
"Is this human language? What do you mean it's okay for your mother to live in the old house for the rest of her life?" The elder in charge walked out from behind Li Bo and scolded him loudly.

"Without your mother, would you exist? Would you be able to earn a lot of money and live in a residential complex now?"

"You don't even think before you speak! You were born with a brain and used it as a ball to be kicked around!"

The people of Chaocheng attach great importance to the inheritance of ancestral halls. When a family returns to its roots, they return to their roots. The elders who have the final say in the ancestral hall are the elders who must be respected by the entire ancestral hall.

Even those uneducated and unskilled people have to greet the elders coming out of the ancestral hall politely.

Li Bo had dared to shout at first, but when the elder of the clan arrived, he was scolded like a quail.

Seeing him like this, Li Xunli sneered: "I think you have money to marry a mistress, but no money to support your mother. You don't want to be a good person, but you have to be a ghost!"

"You can ask me to pay you back, but bring me the diagnosis report. We'll go to the doctor and get proof that it was the porcelain dust that caused your mother's illness, and I'll pay you everything!"

“If not, then you can bring your mistress to your mother and apologize to us!
