Chapter 1180: A Win-Win Situation

lters also discovered that their long-awaited food had finally appeared. They immediately fluttered their wings excitedly to spread the message and then surged back into the passage."Wancheng, activat...Xing Guoqing went to Lian Yi's house and brought Li Xiangjun's words. He waited for the family's decision. In his view, this number was acceptable; Li's family couldn't afford more, and it could also easily lead to a feud with them.

The ripples nodded in satisfaction.

"Father, mother, I think this number is good."

Mr. Xing and Mrs. Xing both nodded, as they were from the same village, it wouldn't be good to push the person too hard.

Xing Guoqing replied to Li Xiangjun, and the next day Li Xiangjun sent the money over and also had Lianyi write a note. Lianyi wrote in bold strokes, "People's demands are reasonable, and this is also an understanding of the matter."

Li Xiangjun took the paper back and handed it to Li Pozi, instructing her to keep both the paper and the receipt for the previous medical expenses paid for Lianyi. He emphasized that this was a precaution for future contingencies, so they would have clear evidence if anything happened.

Li Po-zi was also worried that the Xing family would use this as an excuse to make things difficult, so she carefully put all these things away.

In the end, when Li Xiangjun left Fuyuan Village, the matter was considered settled. The villagers who had been waiting to celebrate with wedding feasts were a little confused as to why neither family made any move.

Some well-meaning people went to inquire, but both families just offered polite responses and didn't elaborate much.

Then during the New Year, the villagers were drinking wedding wine, but it wasn't for the Xing or Li families. It was for Li Hehua, the second daughter of the Li family, who got married.

Li Po-tze married off her second daughter as quickly as she could, receiving a dowry that helped supplement the family's finances. This was enough to slightly improve her mood.

After Li Xiangjun left, the ripples continued to make a weekly trip to the county. Each time, she would bring back seven packets of medicine. Li Pozi had seen this several times and, after calculating the time, knew that the money they had been given was almost spent.

She was secretly delighted that her son had been decisive, otherwise it would have been endless and no amount of money would have been enough to cover it.

Actually, the ripples were intentionally shown to Li Pozi. It was done to soothe her heartache over the money spent, because after all, even though the money was given out, the Xing family didn't keep it. Only then would she feel better in her heart.

In the first week after Li Xiangjun left, ripples reduced his medication by half, of course, after the doctor confirmed that his cold palace had been cured by taking his pulse. Otherwise, his parents would not have agreed.

The three hundred yuan was enough for her to repeat a year's tuition, and the one thousand yuan had also been kept by her parents separately. All in all, apart from a few unpleasant remarks, she had suffered no losses.

As for the medicine bags she brought back each time, they were special prescriptions for her in-laws to regulate their bodies. As long as there was a constant smell of Chinese medicine at home, it could soothe Li Pozi's pain and also help her parents regulate their health, killing two birds with one stone.

After the Chinese New Year, Lianyi still went to the county town every week. Now everyone in the village knew that Lianyi was going for medical treatment because she had damaged her body by rescuing someone with ice water, so people were still relatively sympathetic to her, while the Li family was despised.

When Li Pozi heard two idle words, she immediately became unhappy and revealed the matter of paying for Lianyi's medical treatment out of her own pocket. She even had someone show the payment receipt.

Mrs. Xing went to chat with the scribe's wife, mentioning the price of a prescription for ripples and asking them to calculate how many doses Li Family's medical payment could buy. She emphasized that her daughter needed a year's worth of Chinese medicine.

For a time, all the villagers in Fugyuan Village were abuzz with excitement, wanting to be the first to get their hands on the juicy gossip.

When the three Xing brothers came to visit, they also inquired about this matter. The Li family paid for what they had to pay, and they didn't mind it being used on their younger sister. However, if their parents had to contribute money for their younger sister, they felt a little uncomfortable, fearing that their parents would empty their savings.

How could the elderly couple of the Xing family not hear the subtext in their three sons' words Xing Lao Tou took out the prescription and showed it to the three, then opened his mouth to speak:

“The money Li Jia paid was enough for Yao Mei to see a doctor, and there was still some left over. Now it's me and your mother who are taking medicine. Both of us are half-buried in the ground. Our bodies are not as good as before. Your mother gave birth to you during a bad time, and after giving birth to you, she didn't have anything to replenish her body. Now that we're getting older, little ailments keep popping up.”

The doctor who treated Yaomei was quite capable, Yaomei insisted that both of us go to see him too. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and this period of time it's me and your mother who have been drinking it.

As soon as Lao Xing finished speaking, Lianyi entered with a bowl of medicine. The elderly couple each had a bowl, and after watching them finish, Lianyi took the bowls away without even looking at her three brothers.

In their previous lives, these three individuals had been fixated on the elderly couple's wealth and never offered any support or protection to the original person. When ripples was gossiped about, the three sisters-in-law treated it as a laughing matter, even openly and secretly belittling the original person.

The ripples, however, knew that these three sisters-in-law were jealous of her original self. They were envious of the ripples being pampered and loved by their parents, envious that she could study, and envious that she would have a good future and not have to toil in the dirt. These jealousies made the three sisters-in-law feel tormented and turned them into one person spreading rumors.

This time, they also spoke about it, but they weren't caught by Ripples. And this time, Ripples chose to ask for money instead of marrying into the Li family, so they set their sights on the money again. They blew pillows in their husbands' ears, and that's how this year's New Year's Eve performance came about.

This time, the old couple from Xingjia has money in hand, and Lianyi also has a way out. They are confident and naturally speak with more backbone. They clearly state that they spend their own money and take care of their own body. As a son, if he doesn't contribute financially but still cares about his father and sister's money, then let him consider whether he feels embarrassed or not.

The three of them were naturally embarrassed, especially their younger sister who didn't even give them a spare glance.

After the three families had a hasty reunion dinner, they led their wives and children away, never mentioning seeing a doctor or taking medicine again. Now it's the old father and mother who are seeing a doctor and taking medicine. If you ask them for money, they still won't give it.

After the Lunar New Year, Lian Yi still went to the county as usual. Besides getting medicine for her elderly parents, she was looking for business opportunities and took care of her re-enrollment procedures in advance, paying the tuition fee early.

Then she discovered that the high school students had already started classes after the New Year, but the school cafeteria was not open yet. With hundreds of students needing to eat, it became a problem. There were many street food vendors near the school, making a living and doing quite well.

After observing for two weeks, Liàn Yī connected the dots and invited both of Xíng Jiā's parents to the county.

Xingjia's parents only saw that the school gate was very lively and didn't pay attention to the situation of those small stalls. In the end, they were still pointed out by Lianyi. Only then did the two stand aside and watch for a while before figuring things out.

After the family of three returned home, Old Xing finally asked:

"Yo, did you ask me and your mom to go watch at the school gate today because you want us to join in this business too"

"Well, father is still the smartest. He understood it at a glance."

Ripples immediately put on a tall hat.

"Can this work"

Xing's mother was a timid woman and didn't want to do this.

"Why not If others can do it, we can too. Besides, we have rice and noodles at home, so our costs are lower than theirs. As long as the taste is good, people will definitely buy it."

Ripples immediately said.

But I see a lot of breakfast options for sale at the stall outside the door. We sell the same things, don't we

Mother Xing asked uncertainly.

That definitely can't be done, we can't sell the same things as other people, otherwise we'll be squeezed out. We need to sell something different so that others have nothing to say.

The ripples chuckled and said.

"Yo-mei, have you thought about what to sell"rticipation.Emil fell silent, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table. After a moment, he spoke.What you're saying is that these things are all happening around her, but you can't find a dire...
