A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 145
The two played games again and again.

Sun Guoqing was finally defeated.

At Li Xiang's insistence, the amount remained unchanged.

The two finalized the follow-up matters, and Li Xiang decided to go home at night to get money from Li's mother.

Before leaving, Sun Guoqing went to his boss to pay the bill in his usual arrogance.

"Come on, save the money you have in your pocket." Li wanted to push him away and settle the bill.

"Oh~ look at my brain, it hasn't turned around yet." It's better not to say this explanation.

After leaving the door, the two of them went in the same direction. No one was delayed, and they both accelerated towards home.

The lights in the Li family were still on, and Mother Li was sitting under the lamp sewing patches on Little Brother Li's clothes.

Children at this age are the worst at wearing clothes, and they will have a tear every few days.

Hearing her eldest son's knock on the door, Mother Li quickly got up and opened the door.

Mother Li's expression was not too surprised, ever since someone poked her head in front of Li's house at night.

Li Xiang no longer goes home every Saturday night like before.

Now, he would go home randomly two or three times a week, just to prevent people with ulterior motives.

"Why are you so late today? Have you had dinner? How about I order some noodles for you?" Mother Li opened the door and asked three times.

"I ate outside, don't bother."

Li Xiang took out a bucket of malted milk from his bulging backpack. He signed it out yesterday and just took it out when he got home today.

Mother Li took it skillfully, took a look at what it was, and then said happily: "This is good. The eldest sister said she was tired from studying when she came back last time. When the time came, she asked her to take half of the malted milk to school and drink it every day. A cup to replenish the body.”

Li Xiangjue found it a little funny. It was obviously an instant granule drink. At most, he drank a sweet drink. It had nothing to do with nutritional supplements.

I don’t know which marketing master gave this malted milk the name of a nutritional supplement, and it has since become a hot commodity.

Not to mention they are extremely expensive, most people want to buy them, but they can’t even do so for no reason other than being sick.

If you have a headache or fever, just use it as medicine.

Li wanted to take advantage of Li's mother's happiness and proposed to get 200 yuan.

Mother Li performed something called a face change for him on the spot.

"Why do you need 200 yuan? Don't you have a monthly subsidy of 50 yuan? This is not enough. Spending money is so lavish. No, it's time to live or die..."

Li Xiang only mentioned the beginning, and Li's mother had already found the reason for her refusal.

"Don't worry, it's not for me. I'm the kind of person who spends money randomly. Look, this month's allowance is still here." As he said that, Li Xiang patted his pocket to show that he had money.

But Mother Li still looked at him with suspicion.

Li Xiang was helpless. His mother's trust in him was like a scale, rising to the top and falling to the bottom again.

This phenomenon does not seem to be based on one's own achievements and usual performance.

For what purpose, only Mother Li herself knows.

Forget it, if you want to get the money, you have to sell your brother's privacy.

Tell Mother Li everything about Sun Guoqing's family.

At some point, she put a handful of melon seeds on the table and started cracking them. "You have to be careful when looking for an apartment. If the environment is bad or the neighbors are bad, you must not live there." After hearing this, she worriedly told her son that there were some things that young people like them could not imagine.

"I asked him to look for it near home. The higher the rent, the more expensive it is. Safety is the most important thing." Li Xiang diligently handed the poured hot water to his mother.

"You guys are just thinking about it. How can it be okay for a big girl to take care of a child by herself?" Mother Li scolded her eldest son, searching in her mind for any vacant houses near her home.

They are surrounded by steel rolling mills, and safety can be guaranteed. Now that she is not busy at work, she can help if she lives nearby.

From beginning to end, Mother Li never objected. The eldest son should not have suggested that the young couple move out.

Instead, I wanted to check for their shortcomings and fill them up.

"Aren't you forcing yourself to the point where you can't help it? Mom, you've been through this before. You should understand."

"Your mother has never treated me like this. My first child was a boy. It's too late for her to be happy." Mother Li disagreed.

Where is this going? It has nothing to do with whether they have a boy or not, Li Xiang explained to his mother.

"It doesn't matter, if it were a boy, it would definitely be better than now." Mother Li insisted on her opinion and commented based on her many years of experience.

Li Xiang didn't argue with her. Anyway, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could only be traced back to a few reasons, either this or that.

Li's mother then worriedly said: "The 200 yuan is enough. The young couple will have to buy a lot of things when they move out. Didn't you say that this child will spend money on National Day?"

"Let's just leave it like this for now. It's not enough. Now that we've moved out, don't think about the old days. This is a training for big girls, and it's also a training for the National Day. Now that you're a father, it's your turn to take on the responsibility. You have to take it up, Mom, you don't even know what this guy has done." Li Xiang looked like he couldn't explain what he was saying.

Mother Li asked curiously: "What, what did he do?"

Li Xiang couldn't help complaining to his mother: "Didn't he also receive a bonus of 500 yuan? He charged Brother Zhuzi [-] yuan for the bicycle ticket. It's good for him. Isn't the month up? He doesn't have much left to spend." separated."

In addition to complaining about his friends, Li Xiang also concealed his own thoughts.

Mother Li has always said that he is a great spender. Today I will let her know what it means to be a master who really knows how to spend money.

Comparing the two, does it look good for him as a son?

"Damn it, how many cents are left of the more than 600 yuan?" Mother Li's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, do you think he is ignorant and needs to practice hard?" Li Xiang added fuel to the fire, like a deceitful minister slandering.

Mother Li didn't respond for a moment, and her eyes that were originally widened turned to look at her eldest son with slightly narrowed eyes.

Then he turned back, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, I looked him up and down with suspicion again.

"you..."

"Mom, you can say whatever you want. Don't criticize him lightly just because he is a good friend of mine and has sent things to our house a few times. I am definitely on your side." Li Xiang looked at Li Xiang Mother's eyes were encouraging and she spoke righteously.

In response, Mother Li said unceremoniously:

"Are you two working together? Why are you so similar in your spending skills? Our family's more than 1000 yuan, if I hadn't forced it over, would have been gone in your hands."

I have to say that Mother Li has found out the truth.

If the remaining bonus is in Li Xiang's hands, there is a high probability that there will not be much left.

Li Xiang was a little confused by this reversal.
