Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After Wang Erhai left, Liang Xinghua sat on his own doorstep smoking a cigarette.

After smoking several cigarettes, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhong Liying.

"Liying, I want to discuss something with you..."

As soon as Liang Xinghua spoke, his tone was somewhat humble.

Although he could already be considered a man with some small achievements, in front of Zhong Liying he still acted somewhat humble.

After all, he was already that old, and after half a life of poverty, meeting a woman like Zhong Liying who was young, beautiful, gentle, and considerate was truly not easy.

"Say it, what is it?"

Zhong Liying on the other end of the phone had a very calm tone.

"Didn't your parents say that before June this year, you must pay 288,000 yuan in bride price? I was thinking, can you go tell them to delay giving it..."

"Xinghua, you're no longer young, don't you want to get married sooner?"

Zhong Liying asked back like this.

This made Liang Xinghua somewhat embarrassed.

He could only reply with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:

"Hehe, I do want to, but you also know I just got promoted not long ago, and I have no spare money. Even with a monthly salary of thirty thousand, I couldn't save up 288,000 in just five months, let alone my take-home pay isn't even thirty thousand! You tell your parents, ask them to be flexible..."

Liang Xinghua's attitude was practically begging Zhong Liying to help intercede.

But Zhong Liying said:

"I also know you absolutely can't earn 288,000 in such a short time, but my parents just don't believe it. Once they learned you're the head of a Liguo Mountain subsidiary company, they thought you were a big boss with an annual salary of a million, thinking it's easy for you to come up with several hundred thousand. If you can't, you're a liar. You don't know, 288,000 yuan in bride price is already the lowest I've bargained down to for them. Before, they even said they wanted 600,000 bride price."

Hearing this, Liang Xinghua gave a bitter laugh and was speechless.

Zhong Liying then said:

"Xinghua, you've reached your current position, so you must have plenty of connections. Why don't you go borrow some? Anyway, your salary is high, you'll definitely be able to pay it back later. Don't make me haggle with my parents anymore. I'm caught in the middle and feel terrible. You need to consider my feelings, right?"

Liang Xinghua smiled helplessly:

"Who would I borrow from? My connections aren't actually wide. Among the company's upper management, I only get along relatively well with Wang Erhai, but I already owe Wang Erhai a lot of money. I have no face to ask him to borrow money again."

Zhong Liying then said:

"Why don't you just take some money from the company first?"

"What?" Liang Xinghua was stunned.

Zhong Liying said:

"Take some money out from the company you manage first. Aren't you the head of that company? Taking out two or three hundred thousand is definitely easy, and you can just make it up later."

Liang Xinghua furrowed his brow, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Zhong Liying said again:

"We need to finalize the wedding soon. Can't you see? My parents don't agree to us being together, so they're asking for such a high bride price!"

"Why don't they agree? We truly love each other."

Liang Xinghua was depressed.

Zhong Liying said:

"We have such a big age gap. Isn't it normal they don't agree? Put yourself in their shoes. If your daughter grew up and wanted to marry an old man ten or twenty years older than her, would you agree?"

Liang Xinghua was directly speechless, unable to refute.

Obviously, he wouldn't agree to his daughter marrying an old man in the future either.

So in the end he compromised:

"Fine. Then I'll find an opportunity later to secretly take some money out from the company, and slowly make it up later."

Liang Xinghua was ultimately uneducated and completely unaware of how serious the consequences of doing this were.

This wasn't a small matter. It was embezzlement of company funds! It was illegal!

But Zhong Liying, a woman with an undergraduate degree, should know the seriousness of the matter!

So why did she still urge Liang Xinghua to embezzle public funds?

Was it because she was eager to marry Liang Xinghua, or did she have some other purpose?

Speaking of which, back to the Wang family side.

Today was New Year's Eve.

The whole Wang family happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone raised their cups to celebrate together.

This year was truly full of happy events!

They had moved into the new house to live.

Wang Dashan's wife was pregnant!

Wang Erhai had found a partner!

Wang Xiaohua had gotten married!

As parents, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan could be said to be in great spirits!

Especially Li Xiulan. She had suffered for half her life, and now she was finally living sweet days!

So now she was laughing especially happily!

She felt everything was as wonderful as a dream!

In the past, when she suffered hardship and toil, she always felt this life would hold endless suffering; she never expected that in the blink of an eye, after the three sons grew up, she would actually be living such beautiful days!

She lives such days with peace of mind! Her spirits are exceptionally good!

After finishing the New Year's Eve Dinner, Wang Dashan accompanied Du Xiaojuan back to the room to rest; Du Xiaojuan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, so she needed rest even more.

Wang Erhai accompanied Li Xiulan watching TV in the Living Room while talking on the phone with Zhang Yueran.

Wang Xiaohua went outside to play Fireworks with Li Jianjia again.

Like two Little Brats, they played very happily.

Speaking of the past, when Wang Xiaohua was still small, he also wasn't seen playing like this during Spring Festival.

In Impression, Wang Xiaohua used to study very hard; even during Spring Festival he squatted in his own room Writing Furiously, and even if Relative friends came to visit, he wouldn't come out once.

"Xiao Hua, I plan to go see my dad tomorrow."

Li Jianjia, who was playing Fireworks, suddenly said this One Sentence.

Wang Xiaohua agreed without hesitation:

"Good, then tomorrow I'll accompany you there together!"

Li Jianjia's father is currently imprisoned in the Prison over in Baiyun District.

It's Spring Festival, and I don't know how he's doing Inside.

Li Jianjia missed her father, so she planned to go see him tomorrow.

"My dad knows you and I are Married; he'll definitely be very happy!"

Li Jianjia said this at this moment.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"As long as he's happy. Keep his spirits up, behave well Inside, and he'll be able to Come Out soon; After All, it's only a Ten Years Fixed-Term Imprisonment sentence."

Ten Years Fixed-Term Imprisonment; as long as he behaves well, all kinds of sentence reductions added together, estimated Seven or Eight Years and he can Come Out.

By that time, Li Jianjia's father won't be Not Count too old either, just in his fifties; there are still plenty of days to live After All.

Li Jianjia nodded:

"So I definitely can't let him worry; I'm just Afraid he'll worry too much and Can't Figure Out things Inside."

Speaking here, Li Jianjia said to Wang Xiaohua again:

"Right, tomorrow when we see my dad, you must not tell him that my mom has already Run Away Abroad."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Rest assured about this; Even if you don't Remind me, I won't tell him either."

Wang Xiaohua sighed:

"Your dad loves your mom so much; if he finds out your mom Donated Money and Fled Abroad, how Sad would he be."

Wang Xiaohua's words were actually more to Comfort Li Jianjia.

Because Know, Li Zhongxian probably Long Ago already knew about his wife embezzling funds and fleeing.

Because the Procuratorate side, during his interrogation, Impossible not to mention This Matter.
