Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm
Chapter 517 Qin Jingru's Conflict
"Dad, why do we always drive Uncle Duan's car? Can't we buy one for ourselves?" Li Youan blinked his bright big eyes and asked Li Aiguo with a puzzled look on his face.
This little guy is always full of energy and curiosity, and now he suddenly has questions about driving at home.
It turned out that both Li Youan and Li Youning had always believed that the car driven by Li Aiguo belonged to Duan Peng.
This is all because at the beginning, Li Aiguo deliberately made up a white lie in order to appear poor in front of the children.
He told the two children that the family could not afford a car and could only travel by bicycle. However, one day, when the children accidentally discovered that Li Aiguo was driving a car, the fire of curiosity in their hearts was ignited.
They were eager to know who the owner of the car was. Facing the children's questioning, Li Aiguo had to continue to weave lies, claiming that the car belonged to Duan Peng and emphasized that Duan Peng was his boss.
In fact, Li Aiguo doesn't like lying, especially to his children. But sometimes, once the first lie is told, more lies are needed to make up for it and cover it up.
This helpless situation made him feel a little guilty, but in order to maintain the image of the family and let the children maintain a simple attitude towards life, he had no choice but to do so. After all, as the world's richest man, he hopes that his children can grow up in an ordinary way and know how to cherish and work hard.
In fact, at this time, Li Aiguo was also considering whether to tell his two children that he was actually the richest man in the world, not a poor man.
However, the next words from Li Youan were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope in his heart. Li Youan shook his head and said with an extremely serious expression:
"Dad, can't you work hard and earn money? It would be great if you could earn a lot of money! That way, I won't have to work so hard in the future and can just spend money as much as I want!"
Li Youan, this naughty kid, actually had such an absurd idea, not only expecting Li Aiguo to work hard to earn money, but also wanting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Li Aiguo could never have imagined that a young child would have such a strange idea.
This made him even more grateful that he had decided to disguise himself as a poor man. If he hadn't done that, it would be hard to imagine what kind of trouble this little guy Li Youan would have gotten into.
At this moment, Li Aiguo's face showed an extremely serious expression. He said to Li Youan solemnly:
"You'an! Dad has to tell you something important. Dad has lost his job and is currently unemployed. The family has no source of income. Now our family is so poor that we can barely afford to eat. And this car was lent to Dad by your uncle Duan Peng for the last time."
Li Aiguo paused for a moment. His expression was a little serious, but his eyes revealed a firmness. Without waiting for the two little guys and Qin Jingru to react, he took a deep breath and continued:
"My children, I'm afraid you two will have to work hard on yourselves in the future. Dad has limited abilities and can only guarantee that you two will not starve to death and can go to school. But if you want to truly change the fate of our family, you need to achieve it through your own efforts. So, you must go to school well. Only in this way can we have a better life in the future. Today's roast duck may be the last time to enjoy this delicacy. In the next few months, our family will have to live frugally and may have to eat cabbage every day. You must be mentally prepared!"
Li Aiguo's words stunned Qin Jingru. She had originally thought that she could take over the responsibility of educating the child, but why did she suddenly change her mind? And what about eating Chinese cabbage every day? She widened her eyes and looked at Li Aiguo with a puzzled look, trying to find the answer from his face.
Li Youan and Li Youning, who were sitting in the car, were also confused by their father's words. They were originally looking forward to eating roast duck, how come it became their last meal in a blink of an eye? The car suddenly fell into a dead silence, no one spoke, only the confused heart was beating.
"Aiguo! You..." Qin Jingru wanted to say something, but under Li Aiguo's sharp gaze, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She seemed to finally understand why Li Aiguo said this.
Indeed, just now, Li Youan's idea was too dangerous. For ordinary people, being an idler who sits back and enjoys the fruits of others' labor might work; but for the son of the world's richest man and the successor of Aurora International, this idea is simply fatal.
You should know that Aurora International's business scope is extremely wide. It not only controls the economic lifeline of China, but is also related to the daily needs of the people. It even has close ties with many military-industrial enterprises.
If Li Youan, who is still young now, just has the mentality of muddling through life, it is really hard to imagine what his future will be like.
After all, more than a decade later, when Li Youan took over Aurora International, his words could affect the livelihoods of millions of people. Qin Jingru was naturally well aware of this, but even so, she still felt a little indignant.
Because just now, Li Aiguo solemnly promised her that he would leave the children's education to her and would not interfere too much. However, in less than an hour, Li Aiguo actually went back on his word and even changed the children's education on his own initiative.
Originally, Qin Jingru was going to give Li Youan and Li Youning an elite education. You know, this kind of education requires a lot of money. But in the blink of an eye, Li Aiguo said he was unemployed and bankrupt.
At this moment, Qin Jingru is thinking about how to educate her two children in the future so that they can receive an elite education without exposing her family's financial situation.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Suddenly, a shrill sobbing sound came from the car. Li Youning burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly. She was only six or seven years old, her small body curled up into a ball, shaking constantly, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string.
"Dad, how come you are unemployed? You are so pitiful! Will our family have to eat cabbage every day from now on? Woo woo woo... I will study hard in the future, make a lot of money when I grow up, and buy you meat every day!"
