The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

That evening, Ye Zhao received a call from Zhou Limin.

I asked if it would be okay to schedule the dinner party for tomorrow night.

Ye Zhao readily agreed.

The elderly couple were both unemployed and stayed at home, so Li Yuanchao tried to squeeze in some time whenever possible, since he was busy no matter which day it was scheduled for.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhao called Li Yuanchao.

As the elder brother, it is my duty to attend discussions about my younger sister's marriage.

Li Yuanchao agreed, saying that he would definitely participate unless there were any unforeseen circumstances.

Out of respect for his daughter-in-law, Ye Zhao personally called Chang Yuan again.

"Xiao Yuan, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Chao comes or not. Just make sure you come early tomorrow so we can go to the hotel together."

"There are so many complicated things to do at a wedding, so you, as the sister-in-law, will have to put in a lot of effort."

Chang Yuan agreed without hesitation.

As a daughter-in-law of the Li family, not letting her participate in these matters would be truly disrespectful.

"Does Siwen have any suitable clothes? Should we buy her a couple of new outfits?"

"She just got her hair permed today. As for what to wear, I'll ask her first. If you need any suggestions, I'll have her call you personally."

"Okay, Mom, see you tomorrow."

Li Siwen was lying lazily on the sofa and heard everything clearly.

"I have so many clothes, I just need to pick one that looks decent and appropriate. I'm too lazy to go shopping in this kind of weather."

Since her daughter had said that, Ye Zhao didn't press the matter.

"What are your thoughts on the wedding date and work? We need to reach an agreement at home first."

Li Siwen glanced at Li Shengli.

"Dad, you two can discuss the wedding date. I have no objections."

"But I haven't really thought about work yet."

Because he hadn't thought this through, Lee Seung-ri supported his youngest daughter becoming a university teacher.

A stable, routine life is fine.

What suits you is the best.

"Daughter, it's your own path, you choose for yourself. We only offer suggestions and assistance."

"Personally, I support you finding a job that's easy yet offers opportunities for advancement, like a university professor—it's a respectable profession. Several of the daughters and daughters-in-law in the Li family are teachers."

"Dad, I will seriously consider it."

Ye Zhao wasn't worried about the bride price.

The Zheng family wouldn't let either family lose face over money.

But the dowry still needs to be discussed.

"The houses will be divided among you three siblings, one for each of you, and will be registered in your name. You can do whatever you want with them."

"We don't want a single penny of the betrothal gifts from the Zheng family; we'll give them all to you as your dowry."

"We'll give you another thousand dollars. You can keep it or use it to buy things."

"Times have changed, so what we give you will naturally be different as well, but the main things are basically the same. We will try our best to treat everyone equally."

Li Siwen hugged Ye Zhao.

She never thought about these things, let alone compared herself to her older siblings.

Come to think of it, how could she, the youngest child, possibly suffer a loss?

"The Zheng family should arrange a new house for you. As for your house, I think you can leave it to Tian Tian to help manage."

Li Siwen picked at her ears.

My 9-year-old niece is already able to manage the house?

"Your brother bought Tian Tian an apartment before he got married. It's in the same building as yours. She and Mu Chen rented it out, and now the rent has gone up to 25 yuan per month."

Li Siwen's eyes widened.

My little niece always manages to surprise her.

Getting 25 yuan for free every month is quite a lot.

"Li Tiantian, come out here for a moment."

Li Tian was reclining on the sofa with a book in her hand.

"Speak, what do you want?"

"I'd like to entrust the house to you for management. Do you offer freelance services?"

Li Tian smiled slightly.

"I'll take any job if you pay me."

"If the rent is $25, I'll give you $5."

Li Tian smiled and extended her right hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

She splits the money with Zhang Guoqing, and she still gets 2.5 yuan for free.

Why aren't you answering?

Li Siwen looked at her little niece holding the book.

"Tian Tian, ​​aren't you busy with your studies? How do you have time to worry about these things?"

"I only need to go over occasionally. Zhang Guoqing usually helps collect rent and handle miscellaneous tasks."

"Our Aunt Zhang's son is a very honest person."

Li Siwen finally understood what was going on.

She could have asked a few more questions and directly asked Zhang Guoqing for help, but instead she went through Li Tian, ​​the middleman, which obviously cost her more money.

He leaned dejectedly on Ye Zhao's shoulder.

"Mom, am I really not suited for business? I get taken advantage of by a little kid at home."

Ye Zhao patted her daughter with a smile.

What could she say?

Li Siwen called Li Tian out anxiously without asking any questions.

The words have already been spoken, so naturally they cannot be easily taken back.

Li Tian put down her book and said seriously, "Auntie, I won't take this money for nothing. I'll make sure everything is arranged properly so you don't have to worry about anything."

Li Siwen pouted.

"Fine, then I really won't get involved and will just wait to get the money."

"Sure, but the amount I receive has to increase proportionally, fixed at one-fifth, instead of five dollars."

Li Siwen gritted her teeth and spat out the word "deal".

Ye Zhao went back into the house and brought back a brocade box.

"Grandma, what good stuff is inside?"

Ye Zhao smiled and opened the box.

Inside were several pearl necklaces.

"You two each choose one, and we'll send Chang Yuan another one tomorrow."

Li Tian went straight for a black pearl necklace.

Although the bead was not large, it was round and bright enough, and under the light it faintly shimmered with a peacock green luster.

It looks very valuable.

Li Siwen took a fancy to a purple bead; its color was light and its halo was soft.

After she made her choice, she asked Li Tian to put it on for her.

It makes people look more innocent and gentle.

She struck many beautiful poses in the mirror.

"Tian Tian, ​​are you sure you want to choose black beads? This color is only suitable for someone over thirty. Accessories are meant to enhance the look, not overshadow it."

Li Siwen smiled and walked over upon hearing this.

"This kid probably thinks black is expensive, without considering whether it looks good or suits him."

Li Tian glared at Li Siwen.

Okay, that's what she thinks.

But having made the choice, Li Tian wasn't prepared to let go.

Jewelry-grade, pure natural pearl necklaces have collectible value.

Since I'm still young, I'll just wait until it's appropriate for me to wear it.

"I'm not changing it, I like this one."

After saying that, he took the necklace and went back into the house.

I found a small box, wrapped it in cloth, and put it at the bottom of the camphor wood chest.

Since they were given the choice, Ye Zhao didn't back down.

"Mom, you should wear this gold bead; it looks elegant and noble."

Without waiting for Ye Zhao's response, Li Siwen put the gold bead on her mother's head.

Li Shengli watched with a smile from the side.

"I haven't worn a necklace in decades, so I'm still a little out of practice."

Li Siwen pulled Ye Zhao to the dressing mirror.

I even combed her hair.

"You were born at the wrong time and missed your prime."

"Outside, people would believe you're my sister."

Ye Zhao smiled and patted her daughter.

"All you do is talk nonsense, you have no respect for elders."
