âHow can you say that about your lovely sister? Am I the vain type?â
âIf youâre not, then am I?â
âLooks like it to me.â
Guo Ningyue said, âOtherwise, why would you find such a beautiful sister-in-law for me? Wasnât it just to satisfy your vanity?â
Lin Yi, â
It was really too f*cking hard to refute this! âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll get up now.â
âGet up. Weâre leaving soon. I canât wait.â
Guo Ningyue left, and Lin Yi got ready to get up.
However, he soon received a WeChat video call from Ji Qingyan.
Hiding under the covers, Ji Qingyan was bare-faced and her hair was disheveled. Only her big eyes were clear.
âYouâre awake so early?â
âMy motherâs taking me to do some visits. I donât want to go, but sheâs forcing
âMe too. Ningyue has already come to lift my blanket.â Ji Qingyan pursed her lips. âThen, did you miss me?â
âI did. I didnât go to bed until after two in the morning.â
âI missed you too.â Ji Qingyan chuckled. âWithout you here, the new year is boring.â
âIâll be backin a few days.â
âYes, yes. Things will be better next year. We can spend the new year together,â said Ji Qingyan.
âWhy will we be able to celebrate the new year together next year?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âUm.
Ji Qingyan paused for a moment then quickly moved her neck. âYouâre asking the obvious. Iâm ignoring you. Iâm getting up now.â
âOkay, go ahead.â
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi put on his clothes and washed up.
When he came out to eat, he found Wang Cuiping and Wu Feiyue discussing the house visits.
In the end, Wu Feiyue won.
The reason given was that he had to stay and watch the house.
After the meal, Wang Cuiping, Zhao Quanfu, Lin Yi, and Guo Ningyue finished dressing up. Then, they loaded the gifts they had bought in advance into the SUV Lin Yi had bought to travel around the countryside. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhao Quanfuâs hometown was in Victory Village, located in Hongtu Town, south of Yangcheng.
Hongtu Townâs economy was much better than the other places Lin Yi had been to.
In addition, Victory Village was on the edge of the town, so the overall conditions were not bad.
However, this was only relative to other villages. They had yet to reach the level of being rich.
Zhao Quanfuâs father and younger sister lived in the village. The remaining younger brother also moved to Yangcheng. Every year, he would return to the village to celebrate the new year.
âDad, my brother is back!â
The person who spoke was in her early fifties. She had the same wavy hairstyle as Wang Cuiping.
She was wearing a red coat and looked rather festive.
The womanâs name was Zhao Quanli. She was the youngest of Zhao Jiefangâs three children.
According to the rules, she was Lin Yi and Guo Ningyueâs aunt. She treated them very well when they were young. Every time she visited, she had gave them New Yearâs money or bought them delicious food.
However, in recent years, the Zhuang familyâs harvest had been poor. Coupled with the fact that their child was going to university, the familyâs expenses were huge. Therefore, they stopped buying things for Lin Yi and Guo Ningyue, but their feelings for each other remained unchanged.
âMy nephew is really talented. The more he grows, the more energetic he becomes,â Zhao Quanli patted Lin Yiâs shoulder and said happily.
Lin Yi also put his arm around Zhao Quanliâs shoulder. âMy aunt isnât bad either. If you didnât tell me how old you are, I would have thought you were 18.â âDonât be so rude. How can you talk to your aunt like that?â Wang Cuiping said. âLook at how good my nephew is at talking. I love to hear this.â
âAuntie, donât just praise my brother.â Guo Ningyue said, âLook at my coat. Itâs Burberry. My sister-in-law bought it for me. Itâs very expensive.â
Lin Yi was speechless. Wasnât this little girl a little too crazy?
Our aunt is one of us, so what are you showing off for?!
âWhatâs Burberry? Is it worth more than my cashmere coat?â
âItâs not as valuable as your cashmere coat,â Lin Yi laughed and asked Guo Ningyue to move the things, changing the topic.
âBrother Lil Yi, Sister Lil Yue.â
Just as they were talking, a girl with a ponytail walked out of the house.
She had a round face and was not very tall. However, she was very good-looking.
The girlâs name was Wang Jiajia, and she was Zhao Quanliâs daughter.
âCome and help carry the stuff.â
âGot it, Mom.â
The group of people moved everything out of the car one after another. The brick houses in the countryside all basically had the same structure. A unique layout was basically unheard of.
If one shopped a few more times, they would realize that almost all the brick houses in the countryside were the same.
In Happiness Village, the house the system gave Lin Yi was very similar to this.
At this time, there were more than ten people in the room.
An old man in a navy blue hat was sitting on the bed. His hair had all fallen off, but he looked very energetic and had a cigarette in his hand.
His name was Zhao Jiefang, and he was Zhao Quanfuâs father. Lin Yi and Guo Ningyue referred to him as Grandpa.
Other than that, there was a family of three sitting on the sofa.
They were Zhao Quanfuâs younger brother, Zhao Quande, his wife, Sun Guilan, and their son, Zhao Zirui.
As for the rest, they were distant relatives and villagers who came to visit. âLil Yi is backâ Zhao Jiefang waved his hand. âCome to Grandpa.â
Lin Yi smiled and walked over, taking out two packets of premium cigarettes from his breast pocket.
âDonât smoke your pipe all the time. Smoke this in the future. â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up when they saw the premium cigarettes in Lin Yiâs hand.
These were good cigarettes. One box costs than 80 yuan, and the two jumbo packs added up to more than 1,600 yuan.
This child was really filial!
On the sofa, Zhao Quandeâs turned a little strange.
He had worked for so many years, but he had never smoked such a good cigarette.
âThis is too pretentious,â Sun Guilan said. âIsnât he just a salaryman in Zhonghai? Why buy two packets of these cigarettes? What is he showing off for?â
âKeep your voice down,â Zhao Quande said.
âIâm not wrong,â Sun Guilan whispered. â1 think buying that is almost equivalent to his monthly salary. These people really like to puff themselves up.â
âThis is their lifestyle. We donât have the right to comment on it,â Zhao Quande said. âAfter all, who knows whatâs going on in otherâs lives? Some things are not just for show. â
Sun Guilan nodded and didnât say anything. Her son was a civil servant. A real iron rice bowl was naturally better than working for these kinds of jobs.
Lin Yi might lose his job one day.
Wang Cuiping was a very ordinary rural woman. She also had the habit of showing off, but she was also very magnanimous.
She only told the others that Lin Yi had progressed well and earned some money. She merely said that he had gained a foothold in Zhonghai.
She didnât say that he could freely spend 100 million yuan.
She was afraid that these relatives would soon pester him to borrow money. With her shrewish personality, she wasnât afraid of these things, but she didnât want to cause Lin Yi more trouble.
Little did she know that Lin Yi was someone who wouldnât be persuaded by force or persuasion. Naturally, he wouldnât be afraid of these things..
