Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm

Li Youan was chewing the steamed bun in his hand while admiring the scenery outside through the window, his face full of sadness.

He knew that his family was not doing well financially at the moment, but he never imagined it would be so difficult that they could not even afford the most basic necessities of life.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Youan would feel a sense of sourness and powerlessness in his heart.

At this time, Li Aiguo and Qin Jingru returned home and saw Li Youan's listless appearance at a glance. They couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Although they pretended to be poor intentionally just to let Li Youan feel the hardships of ordinary people, their starting point was good, but seeing Li Youan's current state, they still felt a little guilty.

"Dad! Mom! You're finally back. I missed you so much. Where have you been?"

As soon as Li Aiguo entered the house, Li Youan quickly hugged his thighs like a sloth and refused to let go.

Li Aiguo looked down at Li Youan, who was getting thinner and thinner, and his heart was in a knot. He couldn't help but think: As the richest man in the world, is it a mistake for me to pretend to be poor and let my son live such a poor life in order to educate him? Thinking of this, his brows knitted tightly together.

At this time, Li Youning also rushed over, and like Li Youan, he hung on Li Aiguo's body and said tenderly: "Dad, I missed you so much. You are finally back. My brother and I have been eating steamed buns and cabbage all day!"

Li Youning was about to cry, and she kept crying while hugging Li Aiguo, obviously she had suffered a lot of grievances. Her crying echoed in the air, making people feel distressed.

Li Aiguo looked at his son and daughter, feeling guilty and self-blaming. He gently stroked their heads and comforted them, "My dears, I'm sorry..."

He knew that the children had suffered a lot with him during this period. They could only wear the most ordinary clothes every day and couldn't even afford toys. Every time they saw other children had new toys, they were always envious, but they were too sensible to ask him for them. He knew in his heart that they had been living such a hard life during this period, and as a father, he was powerless to do anything.

"Youan! Youning! You have been wronged...it's all because of dad's uselessness." He muttered to himself, his voice full of regret and helplessness.

Li Aiguo wanted to tell them that your father is actually the richest man in the world, with endless wealth and resources. He can buy them anything they want and let them enjoy the best life.

However, he finally held back because he knew that if he told them the truth now, it might have a negative impact on their growth.

"Youan, Youning, Dad promises you that he will work hard to make our family better and better."

He said softly, his eyes firm. Although he couldn't tell them his true identity for the time being, he would prove his promise with his actions.

After saying that, Li Aiguo took Qin Jingru back to the bedroom. After all, the taste of the braised pork elbow in his mouth had not yet disappeared.

However, although Li Aiguo can be cruel enough to educate them, after all, he has worked hard all his life to start a business and left behind a huge fortune, isn't it for the purpose of allowing his children to live a better life in the future?

Letting them suffer a little now is also for the sake of a better future, but Qin Jingru couldn't stand it. After all, both Li Youan and Li Youning were Qin Jingru's flesh and blood.

Qin Jingru felt heartbroken as she watched everything in front of her, and her eyesight was blurred by tears. She couldn't accept that the children had to live such a hard life, especially when she saw the tiredness and helplessness on the young faces of Li Youan and Li Youning, her heart was broken.

"How can this be possible!" Qin Jingru couldn't help crying out, "How can my child live like this?"

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Qin Jingru spoke to Li Aiguo in a hoarse voice.

His words were full of dissatisfaction towards Li Aiguo, as well as guilt towards Li Youan and Li Youning.

However, Li Aiguo insisted that such poor education is good for children as it can train their will and independence.

Therefore, Li Aiguo gently hugged Qin Jingru and said softly:

"Jingru! You have to know that I am now the richest man in the world, and Youan is the future successor of Aurora International. If he lives a comfortable life now, he will only be a second-generation rich man who eats and waits for death in the future.

I don't want him to become like this in the future. The reason why I have achieved such success today is entirely the result of my hard work over the years. I also hope that Youan can achieve the same success as me in the future. I hope you can understand!"

Li Aiguo spoke very gently but firmly, as if he had never used an umbrella before and was going to tear up his child's umbrella. But he really didn't mean it that way. He just wanted Li Youan to learn to be independent so that he wouldn't ruin the family and go down the wrong path in the future.

Qin Jingru felt extremely painful and conflicted. She understood Li Aiguo's thoughts, but as a mother, she hoped that her children could get the best education and care.

"I don't care!" Qin Jingru cried, "I can't watch my children suffer! We can provide them with better conditions, why not?"

Qin Jingru was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Aiguo's numbers. After all, it is really difficult to change a person's mind.

However, although Qin Jingru was very dissatisfied, because she loved Li Aiguo deeply and was influenced by traditional concepts, she chose to endure it silently.

She understood that her husband should be the leader in the family, so despite her reservations, she did not express her opposition directly.
