Chapter 47 The Siblings

Li Dongfeng has grown up now, and sometimes Li Caiyu really can't control him.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziyang appeared at this time. Li Dongfeng listened to Zhou Ziyang, not anyone else.

Hearing Zhou Ziyang say this, Li Caiyu immediately felt reassured and asked Zhou Ziyang to come to her house for a meal whenever he had time.

"You've been so good to Dongfeng, I haven't even had a chance to thank you," Li Caiyu said sincerely.

Although Zhou Ziyang looks young, he has indeed helped Li Dongfeng a lot.

Zhou Ziyang initially refused, but looking at the charming Li Caiyu in front of him, and thinking that he had something to talk to her about, he agreed.

People say that an elder sister is like a mother. Li Dongfeng's family consists of only him and his sister. Although Li Caiyu is the older sister, she consciously takes on the role of the elder.
She was a woman who knew nothing, but luckily she met Zhou Ziyang at this time, who was able to help Li Dongfeng.

I should thank you, both out of courtesy and reason.

However, she was six years older than Zhou Ziyang and had little education, so they were from completely different generations and naturally had nothing to talk about.

Even when she goes to Li Dongfeng's house for dinner, Li Caiyu won't dress up like other girls; she'll just keep herself clean and tidy.

The dishes she made were quite delicious: stir-fried chicken, braised fish, and stewed pork belly.

These are all hearty dishes from the Xuhuai region.

Li Dongfeng was quite happy to see Zhou Ziyang come to his house for dinner, and scolded his sister for not telling him.

“My brother is coming over, how can we eat at home? We should at least go out to eat. I’m not short of money right now.”

Li Caiyu glared at him after hearing this and said: Don't forget who gave you this money?

Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "It must have been given to me by my brother."

"Ziyang, eat your food. I don't know if it suits your taste." Li Caiyu is a lucky girl who didn't go to school and wasn't corrupted by modern society. She is very honest and also cooks very well.

Zhou Ziyang only took two bites and said that this was at least restaurant quality.

"Hehe, my sister may not be good at anything else, but her cooking is absolutely amazing!" Li Dongfeng said, not forgetting to flatter her.

Hearing this, Li Caiyu breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her wine glass and said, "Come on, Ziyang, let me toast you. Thank you for your help to Dongfeng."

Zhou Ziyang quickly picked up his wine glass and said, "Sister, you're too kind."

“Dongfeng and I are like brothers, we don’t distinguish between you and me,” Zhou Ziyang said.

Li Dongfeng quickly nodded in agreement.

However, Li Caiyu understood her brother's character and only hoped that Zhou Ziyang would take better care of Li Dongfeng in the future.

Zhou Ziyang readily agreed.

Li Caiyu doesn't actually drink alcohol. Usually, when the factory organizes gatherings, girls like Li Caiyu, who are innocent and pretty, are always brought along for meals.

However, Li Caiyu refused in all such cases.

Fortunately, the villagers were quite united, so they didn't make things difficult for her.

So, Zhou Ziyang was the first boy to proactively drink with Li Caiyu.

After downing a glass of wine, Li Caiyu's face flushed considerably, making her look exceptionally beautiful under the dim electric light.

Zhou Ziyang had a drink with Li Caiyu, and Li Caiyu wanted to drink more, but Zhou Ziyang refused.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Sister, Dongfeng might be going to Jinling soon. What are your plans for the future?"

"Plans?" Li Caiyu hadn't thought about any plans. Normally, she should continue working at the factory to earn tuition fees for Li Dongfeng.

Although Li Dongfeng earned a lot of money from his part-time job, it was still just a part-time job.

Li Caiyu didn't understand what Zhou Ziyang meant.

Zhou Ziyang also realized that he hadn't explained himself clearly.

He said he wouldn't let Dongfeng work in the factory forever. "Dongfeng can come with me from now on. I'll cover all his tuition and living expenses. I think Caiyu, you're very smart. It's a waste for you to keep working on the assembly line in the factory. Why don't you come with us to Jinling?" Zhou Ziyang said.

"That's a great idea! Sis, why don't I have my brother find you a job, and you can come to Jinling with us!" Li Dongfang grinned.

Li Caiyu thought about it and realized it was a good idea.

She knew that Zhou Ziyang was very resourceful and could easily arrange a job for her. Even a short-term job would be acceptable as long as the pay was high, and she was immediately tempted.

Zhou Ziyang quickly smiled and said, "Now that you've left, how could we let Sister Caiyu still work in the factory?"

“Sister Caiyu, you are very smart and your handwriting is beautiful. It’s a real pity that you’ve been working in the factory all this time. My idea is to enroll you in a computer training course. You can learn a little bit and then you can work for me. I will pay you five thousand yuan a month.”

Perhaps because he had drunk two glasses of wine, Zhou Ziyang spoke with unusual magnanimity.

Li Caiyu, who had been maintaining her composure and dignity, suddenly showed a change in expression upon hearing these words.

"Brother! Are you serious!?"

Li Dongfeng suddenly exclaimed. He didn't like reading, but he wasn't stupid.

In his life, he felt he had wronged his sister the most. His sister was so smart, but because of him, she ended up working on an assembly line in a factory.

Unfortunately, I am not capable enough to let my sister rest.

At this moment, Zhou Ziyang actually wanted him to come out.

This really touched him.

He even felt a lump in his throat and stood up abruptly.

Zhou Ziyang found his strong reaction somewhat amusing.

He said: What's the difference between real and fake?
“We have hired more than a thousand short-term workers, and we always need people to keep records. I happen to be short-handed, so it’s better to use our own people than to hire people from outside.”

Zhou Ziyang spoke casually.

However, Li Dongfeng's eyes flickered as he looked at Zhou Ziyang.

He was tall and burly, and when he stood up, he looked more like a door god. Because he had been drinking, his face was very red, and standing there like that was somewhat frightening.

But what happened was unexpected.

Li Dongfeng suddenly knelt down, catching Zhou Ziyang off guard.

Seeing Li Dongfeng's posture, which made it seem like he was about to kowtow, Zhou Ziyang was startled and quickly stepped forward to support Li Dongfeng, saying, "Dongfeng, what do you mean by this?"

Li Dongfeng readily agreed, saying, "Brother, my sister is my only family in this life. I don't have many strengths, but I do have some. As long as you can take good care of my sister, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

Li Dongfeng spoke with great conviction.

Zhou Ziyang found this amusing and said, "What are you saying? So if I don't make sure your sister is taken care of, you won't do anything I ask you to do?"

"Forehead!"

Li Dongfeng was speechless for a moment: "That's not what I meant."

Zhou Ziyang said: Okay, get up first.

Then Zhou Ziyang looked at Li Caiyu and asked her about her attitude.

Aside from the hint of interest in her eyes earlier, Li Caiyu regained her composure when Li Dongfeng knelt down. She first helped Li Dongfeng up, then smiled at Zhou Ziyang and said, "Ziyang, I know you did this for my own good."

"But this happened so suddenly, I need to think about it some more."

Zhou Ziyang nodded, indicating that he understood.

"No rush, take your time, sis. It's not too late to contact me when you've thought it through."
