Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 117 Stop them from taking the money
Aunt Wen was not fooled by this rhetoric. "As a family, we should have discussed and decided on this matter, right?"

"Besides, since you're the one using this porcelain kiln, your parents and brother will definitely consider that you need it and won't sell it. If you move to another place, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"Aunt Wen, can you please help us find a ready-made porcelain kiln that can be bought for 50,000 yuan? It should be the same size as the one we have!" Shen Qingqing ran back and saw that the old woman was not afraid of being slapped in the face when she spoke. She came close to Li Xunli and said with a forced smile.

"As long as you can help us find one that's not far from our home, we'll sign a contract and sell the kiln so everyone can get paid! What do you think?"

When Aunt Wen heard this, her face froze. She was not a fool, so how could she not know that fifty thousand yuan would not buy a porcelain kiln of the same size that was ready for use?

Shen Qingqing didn't let her go, and continued to put the blame on her: "Aunt Wen, you are a well-known aunt in our village. Wouldn't it be easy for you to find a porcelain kiln that can run our business?"

"Besides, every household likes to ask you for help with many of their matters. You can't just help other families deal with the problem of our family not signing the contract, and not help us with the problem of changing the porcelain kiln in order to sign the contract!"

"Besides, if you find a suitable porcelain kiln for us, then wouldn't the other companies' problems with you getting us to sign contracts also be smoothly resolved?"

Aunt Wen smiled twice and just glanced at Shen Qingqing without answering her. She didn't take Shen Qingqing's words seriously at all. Instead, she started talking to Li Xunli again: "Xunli, this matter is helpful to the development of the village. Our village only started to be evaluated as an advanced village two years ago, but think about it, many people in our village have been leaving and never come back. You are also a member of our village and have lived in our village for so many years. We should all hope for the good of the collective, right?"

"Aunt Wen, of course I hope our collective will be better, but the collective is also made up of us individuals. If the individuals are not good, the collective will also be a drag. My porcelain kiln has just started to improve, and I have finally caught up with the family conditions of other people in the village. Now you want me to sell this profitable place, then wouldn't I be the one who drags down the collective?" Li Xunli pushed the problem back.

When Aunt Wen heard what Li Xunli said, her face turned grim. But when she thought of Li Bo who had come to see her, she suppressed her anger and said, "Xunli, tell me the truth, don't you just want to sign this?"

"Aunt Wen, what you said doesn't make sense. My brother and I both think we can sign the contract, but we have to find a place to move our porcelain kiln. We can't cut off anything but our family business. Aunt Wen, don't you think so?" Li Xunli also sighed.

"Aunt Wen, if you can put yourself in our shoes and solve problems, then put yourself in our shoes. Your rice noodle shop sells thousands of bowls of rice noodles a month. How much do you make that month? What you two old people earn is yours. Now, someone suddenly comes and says they want to buy it for 50,000 yuan. Would you sell it immediately?"

"That's not possible!" Aunt Wen retorted almost subconsciously.

But after this rebuttal, she put herself in a difficult position.

Li Xunli looked at her with a smile and said no more, but her meaning was clear.

Seeing that she could no longer persuade Li Xunli, Aunt Wen stood up with a stiff face, said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to cook," and left the porcelain kiln without looking back.

Shen Qingqing looked at her back, sneered, and rolled her eyes in disgust.

Shen Qingqing has known this since she was a child: there is a strong preference for boys over girls in Lijia Village.

Although her grandmother Li Yuxing also favors boys over girls, her preference is different. She only values ​​her son Li Xunjin and does not value her husband Zhang Mingfang.

In Li Yuxing's eyes, Zhang Mingfang and Li Xunli are equal.

The grandchild Shen Qingqing is even more special. She is the first child of Li Xunli and Li Xunjin after they each got married. Even though she is a girl, she still has the word "eld" in her name, so Li Yuxing loves her the most.

Although Li Chunchun is also a girl, she is Li Xunjin's only daughter, so her importance is different. Later, Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong have more obvious differences.

But it’s not like that in other families. Girls have to do all kinds of housework since they are young, but having an older brother allows them to go out and play after school every day.

When it comes to the various sacrificial customs in the village, the problem of discrimination in favor of boys over girls is even more serious.

Aunt Wen was the first to be affected.

She herself is clearly a victim of male chauvinism, but she defends this feudal dregs like a brainwashed pyramid schemer.

Her mother is also a victim of the preference for boys over girls, so why doesn't her mother have this feudal bad habit?

Li Xunli didn't understand where her daughter's hostility towards Aunt Wen came from. Seeing her rolling her eyes, she covered her eyes and shook them: "What are you doing? How rude!"

Shen Qingqing probably didn't know Aunt Wen at that time, and her great-grandmother had not passed away and was still alive and well, so Shen Qingqing had no way of explaining why she had this attitude towards Aunt Wen.

I had to evade her by saying, "Who made her catch the rat? She doesn't even have a porcelain kiln at home. She came to our house and said this and that, which made her look bad!"

"That's not a reason for you to roll your eyes at others and disrespect them behind their backs. It's their job to coordinate the relationship between the women in each household in the village. If I see you doing such rude things again, you'll be in pain!" Li Xunli stretched out a finger and poked Shen Qingqing's head.

Shen Qingqing had a bad temper in her previous life. She would remember a bad impression of anyone for the rest of her life. She hated sexism, especially Aunt Wen, who labeled her a sexist in front of the mourning hall of her great-grandmother who raised her in her previous life.

Since she can't do it in person, she will do it secretly in her heart.

Anyway, she won't have a good impression of this kind of person, huh.

The news that Aunt Wen had failed to solve the problem spread among several companies that had already signed the contract within one night.

Selling a useless porcelain kiln for 50,000 yuan is like picking up money for free in the eyes of those who don't need the porcelain kiln.

Nowadays, those who work in porcelain either go to work in other people's big factories or starve to death. Who would really care about the broken porcelain kiln at home?

But now someone is stopping them from taking the 50,000 yuan, which is no different from asking for their lives.

　Qingqing is not a perfect person. It’s not because she is the protagonist that she is a particularly good and perfect person.

　　Chunchun is just a naughty child spoiled by her family. Even when she was in her twenties in her previous life, her father was reluctant to burden his daughters with debts and force them to marry in exchange for dowry. She has basically never experienced the harshness of society, and as the eldest daughter, she has been spoiled too much.

　　It’s okay to curse feudal dregs, but don’t curse the Qing Dynasty!
