If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

In northern Anhui, the local custom is to visit the graves in the afternoon of New Year's Eve and the morning of New Year's Day.

However, only men can go, regardless of age, but women cannot go.

A group of people, all drunk, walked towards the fields. The house suddenly became empty, with only a few women left, washing leftovers, pots and pans, and chatting about family matters.

The old lady was already over fifty years old, with her hair already mixed with black and white. She was washing the dishes while jokingly saying:

"Xia Qin, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful and elegant. In two years, maybe you can have a grandchild."

Xia Qin grinned and chuckled: "She is just a freshman. If she wants to get married and have children, she must at least wait until she graduates from college!"

The aunt laughed and said, "Your family is so rich, why do you still need to go to school? Get married quickly and have more sons to inherit the family business."

My uncle's wife also joked, "Xiaobai has come to your house for the New Year and has lived together, which means her parents don't object. Why bother going to school? Just get engaged first and get married after graduating from college..."

"I heard that college students can have children now? Your Xiao Yuan has built such a great business, you have to have more children."

Second Aunt also laughed and joked: "Haha, that's the truth. For example, although our family is poor, we all have three or four children."

"In my opinion, with Xiao Yuan's ability, he can definitely find a few more girlfriends and have more children. Don't they still want to build a clan temple? What's the point of building a clan temple without children?"

"All those big bosses have several concubines and have given birth to a lot of children."

Listening to the jokes of several people, the figures of Xia Zhijin and Zhong Tingyue suddenly appeared in Xia Qin's mind, and she sighed quietly.

They didn't know that Li Yuan really had several girlfriends at the same time, and what they said was just a joke among the sisters-in-law.

But she knew that her son really had three girlfriends, each of them was a young, beautiful and outstanding college student...

"It's too early to talk about engagement now. This is Xiao Yuan's own business. He's grown up and can make his own decisions. As parents, we can't say too much."

Xia Qin replied perfunctorily.

Although I don't know how Li Yuan will arrange it and whether he will choose to bring Bai Weixi home for the New Year, faced with such a complicated situation, I can only choose to let Li Yuan make the decision.

She likes all three of her son's girlfriends.

Bai Weixi's family situation is well known. Both of his parents are teachers in the county, and they are considered a "scholarly family"...

Before the change, she never dared to imagine that her son could find a girlfriend with such conditions.

She has a good personality, good conversation and knowledge, and she is also very beautiful.

If she could have such a daughter-in-law, she would be 100% satisfied.

Not to mention Xia Zhijin, whose personality, temper, appearance, and temperament all perfectly fit her ultimate fantasy of a daughter-in-law.

When she and Xia Zhijin were alone together, they were very close, as if she had adopted another daughter.

It’s just that the family situation is not very good and the distance is a bit far, but for Li Yuan now, it is not a problem.

Her attitude towards Zhong Tingyue is somewhat complicated.

When facing this beautiful girl who was a disaster to the country, she always felt inferior from the bottom of her heart. Maybe it was because she was born in a big city, and her speech, temperament and clothes all had the atmosphere of a big city...

……

in the living room,
Bai Weixi was chatting with Li Zixia and a few other little girls, talking about some interesting things about Li Yuan's childhood.

"Sister Wei Xi, you don't know, my brother was very naughty when he was young. He often took us to catch fish and shrimps everywhere, bathed in the river, and often fought..."

"Yes, he never goes home to do his homework. Every day after school, he either plays marbles or plays firecrackers... But his grades are always good. As expected, a genius is a genius."

"Sister Wei Xi, tell us, how did you and my brother know each other, and who pursued who?"

Listening to the questions from several high school and middle school girls who were a few years younger than her, Bai Weixi blushed slightly, and felt a little confused, not knowing how to answer...

When I was in high school, it was Li Yuan who took the initiative to pursue me and confessed his love to me three times, but I rejected him every time.

But how should we calculate it in college?

Should it be considered that I took the initiative to pursue him?
Bai Weixi was a little confused!

……

After returning from the tomb visit, Li Yuan was pulled aside to talk about "family and national affairs" and future family arrangements.

Because their family has never produced any talented people, they have always been suppressed by the second branch, and the other party has also suppressed them openly and secretly.

Now, taking advantage of Li Yuan's prosperity, they all want to take advantage of Li Yuan's momentum to make their fortunes.

Several cousins ​​who are already married, including my uncles and uncles, are not well educated and cannot engage in professional technical work, but fortunately, they all have the mentality of being hard-working, down-to-earth and capable.

Li Yuan was also willing to give them a chance.

After all, brothers fight together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.

He has only one sister and one son, so even though he is in Shanghai, he can still live a good life by himself.

But if he could help out to the best of his ability, by asking a few of his cousins ​​who have a good relationship with him, then what would be the harm?

At most you'll just end up wasting some money.

According to their plan, even if they spent a lot of money, the sales volume would only be less than one day's sales volume of "Honor of Kings".

Moreover, this matter was raised by my father, and it was the injustice that my old father had always been thinking about.

In the past, Li Heng didn’t know how much money Li Yuan had. He only knew that he made millions by writing novels, so he didn’t have such an idea.

But after living in Shanghai for a few months, I have seen Li Yuan's mansion worth tens of millions and his Lamborghini supercar worth several million. I also know about the huge profits brought by his milk tea shop and games.

His son had more money than he could spend, so naturally he wanted to help a group of brothers with whom he had a good relationship.

After a messy discussion among the family,
In the end, everyone turned their eyes to Li Yuan, and let him make the decision.

Li Yuan actually hadn't thought it through.

What kind of business should they be asked to do? High-tech enterprises are definitely not something they can handle, and the rest are some relatively simple and easy to get started businesses.

"Uncle, uncle, I haven't figured out what to do yet."

Li Yuan looked at everyone's expectant eyes and spoke with a smile.

"How about this, uncles and aunts? You are a little older now, so you can stay at home and build the family ancestral hall and your own houses. Let your cousin and his wife go to the Magic City together to have a look, try your luck, and see the world..."

"By the way, I plan to take out 2000 million as the family development fund for our Li family. It will be used for the development of our family, including building an ancestral hall, compiling a family tree, starting a business, etc...."

"I will set up a special account for this money, and my father will manage it. If you really have any entrepreneurial ideas, you can apply for it from the family development fund. After everyone discusses and agrees, I can provide you with an interest-free loan with no limit on the number of years. When you make money in the future, you can put the money into the family development fund..."

When they heard Li Yuan say that he would take out 2000 million as family development funds, Li Zhen, Li Cheng, Li Wu, and Li Zichao were shocked even though they already knew Li Yuan's wealth.

The eldest cousin Li Zichao looked at Li Yuan in extreme shock: "Xiao Yuan, isn't this too much money? We just want to start a small business."

Uncle Li Wu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, 2000 million is too much. I just want to open a small restaurant and earn a few hundred thousand a year. If I deposit this 2000 million in the bank and earn interest, I can earn several hundred thousand in interest a year, right?"

Second cousin Li Ziliang added: "The interest rate for large time deposits is more than 3%. If you have one million, it will be 2000 a year. For 60 million, the interest alone will be ."

"Oh my god, the interest income for a year can be hundreds of thousands, enough for our family to live on for most of their lives."

"Xiao Yuan, why don't you keep this money? If we start a business and fail, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"

Listening to the discussions of several people, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

To be honest, based on the level of my cousins ​​and uncles, it is not certain that they will succeed if I ask them to start a business. It is almost certain that they will lose money.

But then again, if you are afraid of this and that, why would you set up this family development fund?

Giving them some money directly and letting them enjoy themselves would be the most we can do.

Isn't this because he thinks that the family will become more prosperous under his leadership?

Li Yuan smiled and said, "As for whether to start a business or buy a property, you can discuss it among yourselves. Once you have decided, just let me know."

"By the way, in order to show support for the development of our Li family, I have decided to give each of you 200 million yuan. You can rebuild your old house and build a big villa. Each family can also buy a car. Those who need to get a driver's license can get a driver's license, and those who need to study can study. Everyone will have a bright future..."

Li Yuan looked at his stunned uncles and cousins ​​and added:
"This 200 million is provided free of charge for the sake of our big family. It is not included in the family development fund." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Weixi who was standing obediently beside him:
"Xiao Bai, collect the bank account numbers of your uncles and aunts, arrange the company, and transfer the money over."

Bai Weixi nodded obediently: "Today is New Year's Eve, the bank may not be open, let's wait until tomorrow."

Li Yuan touched Bai Weixi's head and said, "Okay, just a few days. It doesn't matter. Let's have a good New Year first."

Uncle Li Zhen was completely stunned by Li Yuan's generosity. Looking at Li Yuan, he was deeply moved.

However, isn’t it too wasteful to just give each of them 200 million to build houses and buy cars?
"Xiao Yuan, 200 million is a bit too much. To build a villa, only or is enough."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I have four cousins, they are all married, and each of them built a house."

"The remaining money can also be used to improve my life, buy some nice clothes and shoes, etc., so that when I go to Shanghai, I won't be looked down upon by others."

Hearing Li Yuan's thoughtful consideration, the whole family expressed their sincere gratitude.

The eldest cousin, Li Zichao, has already assured: "Xiao Yuan, don't worry, our whole family will support you and follow your arrangements. If you tell us to go east, I will never go west. Although I, your brother, only graduated from junior high school and have little knowledge and experience, I still have a lot of strength. From now on, my life is in your hands."

The second cousin Li Ziliang immediately followed up: "Me too, I went to an ordinary undergraduate university, and I didn't do well. What can I do in the future? Xiao Yuan, you can arrange it for me."

"If it doesn't work out, I can work as a security guard in your company."

Listening to Li Ziliang's words, Li Yuan burst out laughing.

His second cousin is seven or eight years older than him. He attends an ordinary undergraduate program in a prefecture-level city in the province.

However, he looks good, is about the same height as Li Yuan himself, and exercises regularly. If he were to be a security guard, he would at least be able to become a security captain.

Li Wu was also very excited. He only has one son who is in junior high school.

"Haha, I believe that under Xiao Yuan's leadership, our Li family will surely be able to bring glory to our ancestors and prosper."

Uncle Li Cheng suddenly asked curiously, "Old Third, I remember when you named Xiao Yuan, did you consult a fortune teller?"

Li Heng nodded: "At that time, the fortune teller said that Xiao Yuan's appearance made him a "hidden dragon in the abyss". Once he encountered an opportunity and broke free from the shackles, he would be able to soar into the sky."

"So, I named Xiao Yuan "Li Yuan". Our surname is Li, so giving him this name is a bit taboo."

Li Zhen smiled and said, "That's true. Xiao Yuan is the double of the character "Zi". Originally, he should have been called Li Ziyuan. It was you who insisted on giving him the name Li Yuan. We were afraid that Xiao Yuan wouldn't be able to control himself."

As people with the surname Li, they naturally all know that there was a historical figure named "Li Yuan".

Most people really don’t dare to use this name.

Li Heng looked at his son and smiled proudly: "Fortunately, I insisted on this name. Maybe this is destiny. There is a hidden dragon in the abyss. The younger generation of our Li family will really bring honor to our family."

Li Ziliang, the second cousin, joked: "People say that our last name is Li and our ancestors are all from the same family. Maybe we are descendants of the Li Tang Dynasty."

"Unfortunately, too much time has passed, the family tree has long been broken, and the true origin cannot be found."

Li Yuan listened to the jokes of several people. He didn't expect that his name had such a tortuous origin. It was really interesting.

To be honest, he was very shocked when he learned about the historical figure with his name.

Although my father only graduated from junior high school, it is impossible for him not to know about Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan.

Knowing everything, I still dare to give it this name. It's really a bit embarrassing.

Now I know that there is indeed a story behind it.

Li Yuan asked curiously: "Dad, where is that fortune teller now?"

Li Heng saw what his son meant and shook his head regretfully:
"He was from our former village and has been dead for many years,"

Li Yuan sighed regretfully: "That is indeed a bit regrettable."

……

At night, the whole family drank together excitedly.

Li Yuan didn't drink much, only half a catty of Moutai.

His cousins ​​and uncles often work outside and have a hard time earning money, so they don't drink often and their alcohol tolerance is far less than that of the "guests" that his father-in-law found last night.

After drinking, the whole family left.

While Bai Weixi was washing up, Li Yuan was called over by his mother Xia Qin.

"Mom, you're looking for me, what's wrong?"

Xia Qin looked at her precious son with mixed feelings and a complicated expression.

After hearing that Li Yuan took out 2000 million as family development funds and gave 200 million to each family, she felt a little unhappy.

Although my sons are rich, the money did not come from the wind. It was earned through hard work. Why should I give them money that they can never earn in their entire lives for free?

"Xiao Yuan, your dad loses his mind when he drinks. Why do you follow him?"

Li Yuan was a little confused. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xia Qin continue.

"Can't we just live our own lives? Why do we have to do this? It's development funds, and each family is given 200 million. It's too much money to burn, isn't it?"

"In my opinion, your cousins ​​and uncles are not as good as your uncles. They have loved you and Zixia very much since they were young."

"Once, when you were little, you had a high fever at night. Your father was not at home, and it was your uncle who rode a motorcycle and took you to the hospital at two or three in the morning. If it weren't for your uncle, you would not be alive now. Where were your uncles at that time?"

Listening to his mother's complaints, Li Yuan smiled helplessly.

Although my parents have always had a good relationship, their positions are definitely different.

Everyone will stand on the side of their brother, and women are more emotional.

After getting married, most women will feel that their husband’s family is bad in many ways and feels sorry for them, while their own family is good in many ways.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, my uncles really love me and Zixia, and I didn't say I wouldn't help them."

"Isn't there a lot of money in the bank card I gave you? If your uncles need it, just help them."

"Whether it's my dad or you, as long as you two are happy, money is not a problem, you can spend it however you want."

Hearing Li Yuan's answer, Xia Qin felt much better.

She has always been thrifty. Even though she has lived in Shanghai for almost half a year and Li Yuan has given her and her husband a lot of pocket money, she is still a little hesitant when it comes to spending money.

Several of her brothers also called her privately, wanting to borrow some money. She didn't dare to borrow too much, so they each borrowed about 100,000 or 80,000 yuan.

"Humph, Xiao Yuan, I know you have a kind heart, but your father is stupid. Once someone says something nice to him, he loses his mind and gives his heart to them."

"It's not that I don't support you. I understand the principle that a hero needs three helpers. You are fighting alone in the Magic City. If you have cousins ​​around you, we can feel more at ease."

"However, you must remember a saying: a little kindness is a debt of gratitude, a big debt is a grudge. You must help them in moderation and do what you can."

Li Yuan looked at his mother with a slightly surprised expression. He did not expect that although she was not well educated, she could say such sensible words.

Li Yuan reached out his hand, squeezed his mother's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom. I understand what you mean. I will be careful."

"Don't worry about my uncles. I will treat them all equally and will not let you lose face in your mother's family."

Xia Qin glared at Li Yuan and hummed contentedly: "It's good that you understand. You are an educated college student and you must know more than me."

"As a mother, I am just reminding you casually, don't be silly and try to be a good person, because in the end people won't appreciate it."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, I understand everything!"

Xia Qin nodded, and suddenly thought of the conversation between the women in the afternoon, and asked:
"Xiao Yuan, you are not a child anymore. You have a few girlfriends, Wei Xi, Zhi Jin, Ting Yue, they are all very good."

"In the future, if any of them gets pregnant, you can let them give birth to the baby and your father and I will help you take care of it. You are our only son, and the future expansion of the Li family will depend on you."

Hearing his mother's sudden words, Li Yuan was completely confused.

No, I'm just a freshman in college, and you want me to give birth to a baby right now?
