Xu Xingzhu's mouth was chattering.

In front of their two sons-in-law, Xu Xingjie and Yin Shulan both lost face and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But can they refute it? After all, what this little bitch said is true.

Yin Shulan thought that if she continued to refute, more of Xingjie's secrets would be exposed.

Xingjie is a girl who cares about her reputation, and this is like cutting her flesh.

"I won't talk nonsense with you. Go and cook. I won't forgive you for leaving your two sons-in-law hungry."

After saying this, he stuffed the red envelope into his trouser pocket.

The two sisters went into the kitchen to help, and Xu Xingzhu sat in the living room.

After witnessing the situation of this family, Li Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder you are so anxious to marry me. There is no place for you in this little place."

Xu Xingzhu glanced at the small room next to him that was separated by torn newspapers.

"Let me show you around my mansion."

Li Jingyi followed.

I saw a wall of torn newspapers and a door made of paper-covered boards that was crumbling.

When you push open the door, you'll see a 1-meter-wide wooden bed taking up almost all the space.

The quilt on top is as thin as paper.

"Does your dog live here?"

Li Jingyi spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Xu Xingzhu looked at him sadly.

"I am 1 meters tall, but the bed is only 65 meters long. At night, I curl up in the corner to sleep. The kerosene lamp is my best friend. I read and study under its light."

The iron sheet of the kerosene lamp was covered in rust, the lamp had several broken pieces, and there was a faint smell of kerosene.

Li Jingyi felt a little confused.

He was used to a life of luxury and never expected that there was such a poor place and such poor people.

"Don't worry. Although we are husband and wife in name only, I will never treat you unfairly. I will help you reach the pinnacle of your life."

Xu Xingzhu had more than one million in savings, so of course he believed it without a doubt.

"Xu Xingzhu, where the hell have you been? Why don't you come over to help?"

Xu Xingjie stood at the kitchen door and yelled in their direction.

Xu Xingzhu remained indifferent.

"Let's go! I'll go out to eat with you."

Li Jingyi turned around and saw that no one was following him.

He turned back and stopped, looking at her eagerly.

"You still think you haven't eaten enough? As long as we show our gifts, money, and thoughtfulness, that's enough. Look at those people. You can eat a lot, but I can't. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Xu Xingzhu smiled brightly.

In front of Xu Xingjie, he left with Li Jingyi.

Xu Xingjie rushed out with a spatula and yelled at them.

"If you don't want to eat, don't come into this house. Who are you showing off to by eating out all the time? Be careful and eat yourself to death."

Xu Xingjie got furious on the spot and shouted until her throat was hoarse, but the two people in front of her just ignored her.

When she married Li Jingyi, he disdained her and wouldn't sit at the same table with her even when they ate at home, let alone going out to restaurants.

He never introduces himself to his friends, nor does he take her to meet those bad friends.

Although Li Jingyi and Xu Xingzhu are married now, they had never met before their marriage.

In just two or three days, their relationship has become very passionate. Could it be that they have been flirting with each other for a long time?

Seeing that Xu Xingjie was as dumb as a wooden stick, Liu Xicheng was afraid that she would be influenced by rich people and become vain in the future.

"Let them eat if they want. The Li family's money comes from unknown sources. These days, many people have been jailed for speculation. If Li Jingyi goes to jail one day, your sister, who is so greedy for money, will probably have to remarry."

Xu Xingjie burst into laughter: "Okay, I'll wait for the day when their wives and children are separated and their families are destroyed."

The food was ready and Yin Shulan brought it out, but Xu Xinzhu and Li Jingyi were missing.

After hearing what Xu Xingjie said, Yin Shulan cursed on the spot.

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I won't give it to the dogs even if it's for them."

The family sat down to eat as usual.

Xu Xingjie was uneducated and when she saw the chicken wings and drumsticks on the table, she quickly picked them up and put them into her bowl.

Yin Shulan didn't say anything. There was another chicken wing and chicken leg, so she simply gave them to her son Xu Xinglin.

"Mom, I'm already that old. I don't want to eat chicken wings and drumsticks. Give them to Xiaoduo."

Xu Xinglin considerately picked it out for Xiaoduo.

Xu Xingmei and Xu Xingtong remained silent. They had no right to speak in this family anyway.

"Xinglin has to pay for the spring semester tuition and one semester's food expenses, a total of 120 yuan. I don't have much money on hand, so each of you sisters should support me a little."

Xu Xingjie interrupted: "Mom, Xicheng doesn't have a job yet, and we don't have any income, so we can't come up with any money. Right now, the person who can come up with the most money in the family is Xu Xingzhu. If we ask her for money, she's so rich, and it's just a drop in the bucket."

Xu Xingmei responded: "Xingzhu's money belongs to the Li family. If you always let them spend money, how will the Li family view us?"

Xu Xingtong agreed with her elder sister.

"My third sister has already given each of us red envelopes. Mom, you can take out the red envelopes and pay a little more to cover the expenses."

Yin Shulan said in a sharp voice: "You two are traitors. You took out the red envelopes before I even warmed them up and confiscated them. You think I am stupid for your money."

At this time, Xu Xinglin put down his bowl and chopsticks impatiently.

"Stop arguing. We quarrel over money every day. I pay for my own education. I don't want money from my third sister and her husband. Although our family is poor, we must be poor with dignity and not become a laughing stock."

The hot-blooded Xu Xinglin left after he finished speaking without even looking back.

"Oh my god, this cow is so stubborn."

Yin Shulan had a headache, not knowing who this little bastard looked like.

It's so stupid that you don't want even a penny that's not yours.

After dinner, Yin Shulan decided to ask Xu Xingzhu for some money for her son’s schooling.

Once a daughter is married off, she is like water spilled, and it is impossible to recover her.

She wants to treat marrying off her daughter as a long-term investment rather than a one-time deal.

At this time, at the First Hotel in South Beijing.

Li Jingyi asked the waiter to bring the menu.

"Boss Li, here's the menu."

"Mr. Li?" Xu Xingzhu muttered.

Looking at the waiter's attitude towards Li Jingyi, could it be that this restaurant belongs to the Li family?

“Yes, it’s my hotel.”

Li Jingyi was so sensitive that not even a glance from her could escape his eyes.

"Then I'll eat as much as I can."

All the dishes Li Jingyi ordered were the restaurant's signature dishes.

Braised lion head, steamed shrimp, Songhu mandarin fish, pork ribs in black bean sauce, lemon duck, and shark fin vermicelli soup.

"There are so many, how can we finish them all?"

Xu Xingzhu is used to being frugal. If he orders so many dishes at once, he will definitely not be able to finish them. This is a huge waste.

Li Jingyi looked nonchalant: "They are all ours, so it's okay to waste a little, what's the big deal?"

What a playboy, Xu Xingzhu doesn't like extravagance.

"Two meat dishes, one vegetable, and one soup. No more. If Mr. Li doesn't agree, I'll just go home and eat."
