Li Yonglin's life has not been easy in the past few years, at least compared to other brothers and sisters, he can be considered a bit miserable in his later years.

After my wife passed away, I didn't even have an intimate person who I could talk to, let alone someone to ask for help.

Fortunately, I used the eldest son's money from selling his life to build a house and buy land. Now the second and third sons live in this big house. As long as he is alive, he has a say in the family.

But that's all.

Under the instigation of his two daughters-in-law, no one would ask him to eat. Every time it was time for dinner, he would go there by himself. If he missed it, he would either go hungry or cook for himself.

The old man has complained to other people in the past two years. As the village chief, the uncle has also made adjustments many times, but to no avail.

The two daughters-in-law were both soft-spoken and would ignore him if they didn't quarrel or make trouble. On the contrary, Li Yonglin himself always made a lot of noise at home. In the past two years, they seemed to have aged ten years.

Especially when it comes to catching a cold, no one cares about adding clothes and quilts.

If Li Changhui hadn't left him the money back then, his life would probably have been even more difficult.

Li Xiufen said a lot. She also felt sorry for this second brother. Life had been difficult in the past few years, and she even vaguely wanted Li Changhui to go back and have a look.

But whenever she had such thoughts, she was blocked by Lin He.

What a joke, Li Changhui was directly removed from the family tree by him. Besides, the original owner gave him all the money he paid for his life, and also gave a lot of extra money as a filial piety to Li An, his grandson.

From that time on, in Lin He's heart, Li Yonglin had nothing to do with them.

The relationship with the uncle and aunt's family that has been maintained over the years is, to put it bluntly, just because Li Changhui still uses this identity.

In addition, Li Changqiang helped take care of the farm in recent years, which indeed made them worry a lot. Xiuling was also a very close friend of Lin He back then, that's all.

So when Li Xiufen said this, Li Changhui just listened. After listening for a while, he excused himself and left. Lin He also stopped his aunt if she wanted to continue.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Lin He didn't want to make the atmosphere at home awkward, so he didn't speak too directly.

Fortunately, my aunt could also understand. Seeing that the two of them had no reaction, and were even slightly dissatisfied, she consciously stopped mentioning it further.

To put it harshly, my daughter Liu Dong'er's current marriage and abilities are all due to this nephew, who repays her kindness for taking care of her back then.

Li Xiufen understood very well and knew that her nephew would repay his kindness, but he was not a person who would be coerced by kindness.

So even though she felt sorry for her second brother and tried to persuade her nephew, after understanding the attitude of her nephew and daughter-in-law, she was very sensible and didn't say anything.

This year is probably the most lively one Lin He has ever had, with dozens of people in his family.

Because they knew that Lin He and Li Changhui would leave Nanzhi County soon, brothers Li Changqiang and Li Changsheng did not return to their hometown.

This New Year, my aunt and her family are all celebrating the New Year at Lin He's house, and Wang Mo and his newlywed wife Liu Dong'er went back to her parents' home to pay New Year greetings.

It can be said that it was unprecedentedly lively, and this also gave Lin He a little experience of what it means to be a truly wealthy family.

Apart from anything else, it was really spectacular to have so many people staying together. Fortunately, the family had rented a housekeeper and servant in advance, otherwise Lin He would not be able to entertain so many people even if he was exhausted.

The only flaw is probably the lack of a bit of freedom.

However, we didn't stay in Nanzhi County for long. We were planning to go back to our hometown together on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Our aunt and uncle also raised pigs and chickens, and asked the neighbors to help take care of them before leaving.

The other two brothers naturally wanted to go home to see their parents. As soon as everyone left, the house instantly became much cooler, and Lin He also instantly relaxed a lot.After everyone left, Li Changhui sent the housekeeper and servant back home. They just rented it, not bought it. When he got home, he saw Lin He lying directly on the rocking chair in the yard to bask in the sun.

The cozy and comfortable look is like a lazy cat.

"You don't like crowds so much?"

Lin He squinted his eyes and shook his head: "The temporary liveliness is okay, but the lively time is too long, and it feels a bit noisy."

Li Changhui sat down next to Lin He: "But when we went to the capital, that hot spring villa can't survive without servants."

Lin He turned his head and looked at Li Changhui curiously: "Very big?"

Li Changhui nodded honestly: "Just sweeping the floor requires about ten people, not to mention daily maintenance, etc. Just for these alone, dozens of people are needed."

Lin He smacked his tongue. Rich people are so outrageous. It takes more than a dozen people to sweep the floor.

"It's okay, as long as there are fewer people coming to the place where we usually live."

There is a saying, it is really nice to not have to worry about any housework when there is something to do.

Not only do you have to open your mouth and reach out for food, but at least you can eat something delicious after you finish your work and feel beautiful.

Therefore, Lin He would not say anything ignorant, and no servant should wait.

Li Changhui nodded: "Okay, let's keep those people in the courtyard where we live. You can be as comfortable as you want on weekdays without worrying about others."

Li Changhui probably knew why Lin He didn't like too many people. If there were too many people, he still needed to care about his image and think more about every word and action.

Unlike when you are alone at home, you can take a chair to the yard and just lie down and bask in the sun all day long.

That's why Lin He felt that there were too many people and it was more troublesome than being alone.

Fortunately, Lin He didn't like having outsiders at home at all, so it was better for the courtyard where they lived to have fewer people coming in and out.

As soon as he was distracted, he saw Lin He looking like he was thinking about something, which made him curious.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin He touched his chin: "I'm thinking, when we get to the capital, we can't do something like growing grapes, right? This thing has been sold to Jinrong, why don't we continue doing it?"

Li Changhui was helpless: "Yu'er only takes the exam in April. By the time we get to the capital, it will be June or July at least. It's still very early. What are you thinking about now? Can't you take a good rest?"

The examination begins in April every year, and the Lantern Festival is just a few days away. They have to wait three or four months before they can set off.

As he spoke, he added a little charcoal to the brazier next to him.

After confirming that Lin He preferred to be a cat just because the winter was colder this time, Li Changhui felt relieved a lot, but he also paid great attention to keeping Lin He warm on weekdays.

For example, right now, there is clearly sunshine today, but only the direction directly illuminated by the sun is very warm.

On the side facing away from the sun, it is still cool, especially when the occasional gust of wind blows by.
