Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 394 Urging the Marriage

"Sister-in-law, you're laughing at me too!" Li Weihong's face turned red. Although he knew that his words were more of a joke, he didn't mean to slap him.

It was already late to go to school in rural areas. When Li Weihong transferred to the University of Hong Kong, he stayed in one grade and studied for an extra year. Later, he studied for a master's degree. He was 28 years old when he graduated.

It is rare for people to be unmarried at such an old age, not to mention in rural areas, even in cities. We have not yet reached the era where the average age of marriage in future generations is more than 30 years old.

Shen Yueying is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in her hometown. Three of her four children are married. They are all a big family, which makes people envious if you tell them.

But only the fourth child, who is so old and still has no in-laws, worries Shen Yueying.

In the past, people in the village asked Shen Yueying, has your little girl found her husband's family? Although Shen Yueying was anxious at that time, she replied, "You haven't finished school yet!"

This answer is enough to shut up the mouths of the old women in the village, and even earn a compliment, "Wei Hong is the first graduate student in our village, she is really awesome!"

Of course, these old ladies don’t know what graduate students are, they only know that they are very good at studying.

Shen Yueying could still be proud for a while, but since she heard two years ago that she could get married even if she was a graduate student, she was no longer calm. However, although she was often urged, it was not that pressing.

But after Li Weihong graduated from graduate school half a year ago, Shen Yueying called her frequently. She knew that long-distance calls were expensive, so she put the call through and waited for Li Weihong to call her back.

It was okay at first, because Li Weihong could always call her back in time, but after the call was connected, Shen Yueying had nothing else to do. The most important thing was that someone got married and had a child, and they were several years younger than you. Years old!

As time passed, Li Weihong couldn't resist even though she was an obedient child. Later, she simply didn't come back, or waited until a later time when her family was asleep, so she naturally didn't have the energy to talk to her about it.

Unable to receive the call immediately, Shen Yueying hung up without waiting for two rings. She waited directly for Li Weihong to answer. After the call was answered, she asked her daughter to call back. In short, the phone bill was still relatively expensive.

This made Li Weihong feel scared when she saw Shen Yueying's call, and then stopped answering it. Anyway, there wouldn't be any major events at home, and even if something happened, it wouldn't be her turn to take charge of the family.

Between two brothers and one sister, which one is richer and more powerful than her, there is basically no problem that cannot be solved in her hometown.

Shen Yueying also knew that her daughter was annoyed with her, but she had many options. She called Li Weidong directly and asked Li Weidong to put pressure on Li Weihong.

Shen Yueying has come to understand over the years that in their family, the words of the eldest son are more effective than the words of the elder couple.

Li Weidong also has a headache about this matter. He is not young anymore and it is time to get married. If he always talks about the freedom of marriage, it would be too willful. Sooner or later, he will suffer a loss.

He can't just watch the girl suffer, right? He can't let her future boyfriends and friends show off and say that they want to celebrate their girlfriend's sixtieth birthday!

Li Weidong made a phone call and told Li Weihong in a face-to-face manner. Let's not talk about whether to find her husband's family or not. First of all, she must have a correct attitude, and she can't exclude her just to confront her own mother.

He also asked her to quickly find someone who matches her, otherwise she would have to go out and find someone to introduce her to him. Freedom in marriage is also relative.

After hanging up the phone, Li Weidong also scratched his head. He was the one responsible for this matter. If it weren't for his intervention, Li Weihong would have taken the exam to a teacher's college, returned to work as a teacher, and found a husband who was also a teacher.

Counting the days, their son was born two years ago in his previous life. Li Weidong sat at the main table as his uncle and drank his nephew's full moon wine.

It was impossible to just find that teacher. After his mother called him, Li Weidong first found someone to investigate his brother-in-law in his previous life.

He is still alive, and has not been affected by the butterfly Li Weidong. He is still a teacher, and he has found a wife who is also a teacher. He has given birth to a son, and he still has a son.

And this incident also fully illustrates a problem. You must get married when you reach your age. It doesn't matter who the marriage partner is. Don't believe in fate. This is just an excuse for self-suggestion.

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't just talk about his sister, but his mother also had to persuade her. Naturally, the words were another story, and even coaxing and deceiving finally made Shen Yueying calm down for a while.

Li Weihong hesitated for a long time about whether to come back for the Chinese New Year. She originally decided to come back, but she regretted it the moment she got on the plane in Shenzhen.

This was also the reason why she didn't call her brother and sister-in-law. Li Weihong felt that as long as she didn't call, her brother wouldn't know and she would still have a chance to run away.

She didn't feel relieved until she saw brothers and sisters Li Qian and Li Rui. Anyway, it was like this. At worst, if she just said it again, could she be forced to find someone to marry?

However, I was still quite intimidated by Li Weidong. As the saying goes, holding someone's hand is short, eating someone else's mouth is short. Li Weihong was eating and taking, and he couldn't talk back to her even if she said a few words.

"You are not young anymore. Don't follow the tricks of Hong Kong Island, such as unmarried DINK. When I was your age, Li Rui was born!"

Liu Jinhui has spent a lot of time in Hong Kong Island. In the past few years, she has often gone to Hong Kong Island for work. She strongly disagrees with some of the views there. How can she not get married and have children?

"Sister-in-law, I really haven't met the right one. Don't worry, I will definitely get married when I find the right one!" Li Weihong said vowedly. Only then did she understand what it means to have a sister-in-law who is like a mother.

"You are so beautiful and well-educated. People are lining up to pursue you, so no one can sleep a wink. Don't be too demanding, just be more diligent than your brother!"

"What's the matter, sister-in-law, I bought you a lipstick, see if you like it. My eldest niece, come over and take a look at the clothes that your aunt bought for you. Make sure you look good and dress like a little princess!"

Li Weihong listened to her sister-in-law talking about her brother's shortcomings, and she absolutely couldn't talk to her. It was her sister-in-law. If it were anyone else, she would definitely have to fight back.

If you don't talk to each other, you have to change the subject, quickly pull the suitcase over, and dig out the gifts bought inside. It's a big suitcase filled with gifts for everyone.

When she wanted to go home, she naturally couldn't be empty-handed. Not only could she not be empty-handed, she had to prepare gifts so that her family would be embarrassed to urge her to get married.

"You, you, I'm afraid this little trick won't work for your brother, but why are you back at this time, when the Chinese New Year is only ten days away?" Liu Jinhui took the lipstick and said with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention this matter. That law firm sounds very famous, but it doesn't treat the newcomers as human beings at all. I can tolerate them, but I fell out with that old witch, and my aunt stopped serving me!"

Li Weihong studied electrical engineering as an undergraduate. When he was a graduate student, he remembered the sassy female lawyer he had seen in a movie, and accidentally enrolled in the law major.

"Your brother said at the beginning that if you don't get beaten up by society, you won't know the evils of society. Now you know, how can the things in the movie be taken seriously? Which lawyer dares to challenge the judge!"

Liu Jinhui laughed when she heard it. When she was studying for a master's degree in law, Li Weidong didn't agree very much, but he passed the exam and passed the exam through his own efforts. It's hard for Li Weidong to say too much. Anyway, a family like theirs still cares about studying.

What?

But when he graduated, Li Weidong was unhappy. He asked Li Weihong to work in the company's legal department, but how could Li Weihong agree to live under Li Weidong's wings all the time?

He insisted on going to an outside law firm and was hired after multiple rounds of interviews. Li Weidong no longer insisted, but he still complained to Liu Jinhui in private.

"Sister-in-law, can we stop mentioning my brother in every word? Although you two are very loving, there is no need to act like a husband and wife!" Li Weihong saw her sister-in-law's attitude and had no choice but to use her trump card.

"You're still making fun of me. Okay, just take a rest and I'll clean up the room and change the bedding for you!"

"Sister-in-law is the best to me. I'm really a little tired. I went out in the morning. I'm exhausted this day. By the way, sister-in-law, I also want to eat the Nine-turn Large Intestine and Sweet and Sour Carp from Four Seasons Restaurant!"

It was too harsh to say polite words, and Liu Jinhui and Li Weihong had never had any conflicts. Even if Shen Yueying occasionally complained to Li Weihong about her sister-in-law, she still tried to persuade Shen Yueying, let alone fan the flames.

"Okay, yours is indispensable. I'll call them right now and ask them to deliver it. You can rest on the sofa for a while, and I'll clean up the room. Li Rui, don't disturb Auntie's rest!"

"I'm going too, I won't miss a while to rest!" Li Weihong said and was about to lead Li Rui out.

"No need, just keep an eye on the child here. Li Rui's cough is just right. It's easy to relapse when he's cold or hot!" Liu Jinhui refused.

Liu Jinhui went out to clean up Li Weihong's room, called Four Seasons Hotel to cook some dishes, and then called Li Weidong to ask him to come back quickly.

"I got it, she's not a guest when she comes, and she wants me to greet her. After finishing this dish, she will go back. Mr. Yu, don't be ridiculous. I don't need my eyes to answer the phone, so I can see clearly!"

He hung up the phone, handed the phone to Ding Yuan next to him, and quickly put the chess piece that Old Yu regretted back to its original place, "Old Yu, I have regretted this game three times, and I have reached the limit. I can't regret it anymore!"

"Nonsense, you are bullying me, the old man, for being stupid. I clearly remember only two times, and there is one more time!" Mr. Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Weidong, and said angrily with his small eyes.

It is agreed that there will be three opportunities to regret each game. There is no such rule even if you go to the end of the world. Playing chess is about the process. Cheating is also fun. If you succeed in cheating, you will be happier than winning the game.

Li Weidong still wanted to argue, but suddenly he saw that the age spots on old man Yu's face seemed to be more and bigger. He felt soft and asked the bystanders next to him in confusion, "Uncle Zhang, is it really twice? How do I remember it?"

Three times!”

"Lao Zhang, did you say it was twice? By the way, I heard that there are some good thrushes coming to the bird market. The weather is good tomorrow, why don't we go and have a look together?"

"It's two times, it's two times, then we have made an agreement and we are not allowed to go back on it!" Old Man Zhang said quickly.

One of the two old men loved to play chess, and the other loved to raise birds. They just sang and harmonized, and they fooled Li Weidong in a happy mood. Anyway, all three of them were happy.

After playing chess, Li Weidong said goodbye to a few old men and slowly walked out of the activity center, with Ding Yuan following behind.

"What's going on with that law firm? Have you found out?" Li Weidong smoked a cigarette and asked casually.

"Shengwei Law Firm, the law firm just wants to use these newcomers to do odd jobs, and then get rid of them for various reasons. Very few can stay. This is also the norm for law firms!"

"The lawyer who the second lady followed may have reached menopause recently and has a bad temper. This time because the coffee the second lady poured did not put sugar in it, he got angry at the second lady and cursed a few times. The second lady picked up the coffee in her hand and

He threw it on her face, and of course that person was not idle either, he also picked up coffee and threw it on the second lady!"

After Ding Yuan finished speaking, he stopped talking and followed Li Weidong silently. Li Weidong had to say what to do.

Li Weidong walked in front. He twitched the corner of his mouth and splashed a cup of coffee on his face. Even if it was not hot, it would probably be very uncomfortable. How could a lawyer stand such anger? Not to mention returning a cup of coffee, even the beating was light.

If something like this happens, we will definitely not be able to work together. The barrister cannot resign. Only Li Weihong resigned. And the law firm cannot leave such a thorn in the side to serve as an example to others?

In the final analysis, the law firm cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. Li Weihong's methods were a bit too extreme. Even just spitting in it would be enough. It would be embarrassing to throw it in someone's face!

"Check which companies the lawyer has represented in lawsuits. Are there any that we are familiar with? He can't control his temper. How can he be used as a lawyer who loses his temper!"

Although Li Weidong also wants to help with marriage or not, he still can't do it in his heart. He is the only one who can bully his own sister, no matter what your reasons are.

"I'll do it right away!" Ding Yuan also felt sorry for the lawyer in his heart. He clearly had a chance to rise to the top, but his petty temper ruined it.

Based on Li Weidong's feelings for Li Weihong, as long as Li Weihong wants to become a lawyer, Li Weidong will definitely support him, including acquiring a law firm.

If this menopausal lawyer could just say a few more words to Li Weihong, pay more attention to her, and build a good relationship with her, he would have nothing to worry about in the future. He would not be able to open a law firm by himself and would not be able to find helpers.

If you have such a master, you must ask him to help. This is much more promising than spending time at the original law firm.

When Li Weidong arrived at home, Liu Jinhui and Sister Yan had already tidied up Li Weihong's room. It was still the west wing, but no one had lived in it for half a year. Just wipe some dust and it would be fine.

Li Weihong also came to the west wing. Seeing that the furnishings in the room were still the same as when she left in the summer, she knew that no one had lived here during this time.

Li Weihong opened a drawer. There was a souvenir album inside, and she opened it casually. It was left for her by a college classmate in Qizhou before she transferred to Hong Kong Island.

She brought it from Qizhou to Hong Kong Island, and then from Hong Kong Island to Qizhou. She traveled with her to both places many times. Later, she left it here because it was too many to let go.

After opening it, there was a large group photo on the first page, but she was not in it. It was taken when her classmates graduated. She had the opportunity to participate in it on Hong Kong Island.

This was due to the thoughtful consideration of her classmate Yan Fang, who asked the photographer to develop an extra photo for Li Weihong. Now she looks at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in the photo.

Time will always erase some memories. If you encounter them again, you may run away. If you never encounter them again, they are really gone.

"When you come back, stay at home for a few more days, contact your classmates, get together, chat, and see if anyone else is married?"

Li Hongwei was immersed in thinking when he suddenly heard Li Weidong's words and was startled.

I still felt a strong sense of warmth after listening to the first words, but the second half of the words made the warmth dissipate without a trace.
