When Luo Cheng smiled, the Li family felt their scalps tingle.
At this moment, Li Qiang and Li Wei received the news and quickly ran back. The two of them were panting from running. When they saw that Luo Cheng
and Li Xiaoran were both there, they had a bad feeling.
Luo Cheng sized up Li Qiang and Li Wei with a smile.
“I think Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle’s bodies are getting weaker and weaker! This isn’t good. After all, Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle to support them. Now, I have a job here that’s very suitable for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle. They’ll earn a tael of silver a month. It’ll be enough to cover the family’s expenses! So, Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, pack your things and follow me later!”
When Li Qiang and Li Wei heard Luo Cheng’s words, their eyelids twitched and they wanted to refuse.
“No need. We can find work ourselves. How can we trouble you, Your Highness?!”
Luo Cheng said, “It’s no trouble at all. No matter what, we’re relatives, so we should help each other! Now, our lives have improved, but Grandpa and Grandma are so miserable. As their grandson-in-law, I really didn’t do a good job! Now that I’ve found a job with a monthly salary for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, I can help everyone!”
When Li Qiang and Li Wei heard Luo Cheng’s words, they were shocked!
Luo Cheng asked, “Why? Could it be that Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle think that this salary is low?”
Li Qiang couldn’t say anything to retort him!
How could they dare to turn down money?!
Logically speaking, most people would be desperate for a job that earned them one tael of silver a month.
But Luo Cheng had given them this job!
Therefore, they would have to consider it carefully!
One had to know that Luo Cheng wasn’t a charitable person.
Whenever he wanted to teach someone a lesson, he was very ruthless.
He introduced them to a high-salary job, but it probably wouldn’t be easy to
Li Qiang and Li Wei weren’t stupid, so they naturally realized how fishy it was.
Li Wei was amused.
He didn’t know how they had offended Luo Cheng again that he wanted to go through so much trouble to teach them a lesson.
However, Li Wei saw things clearer than his brother, Li Qiang.
Luo Cheng’s appearance here today meant that they had to do this job even if they didn’t want to. They didn’t have a chance to choose at all.
At this moment, a loafer in the village mocked Luo Cheng, “Your Highness, you’re so rich. Just one tael of silver a month from you is enough for the Li family to live a good life!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at the person who spoke, but he wasn’t angry.
“How can it be the same? I can give them some money every month, but doing so will harm Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle! As the saying goes, it’s better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. If I really do this, I’ll be harming the Li family. After all, it’s better to rely on oneself than anyone else! If one can earn money oneself, one doesn’t have to listen to others! Am I right? Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle?!”
How could Li Qiang and Li Wei not understand? They could only nod in agreement.
Wang Ying and Zhang Hong, who had returned with Li Qiang and Li Wei, didn’t dare to go forward and say anything, but their faces were filled with joy.
If their husbands really earned one tael of silver a month, their family would definitely live a much better life than now.
Luo Cheng saw their joy and said,
“Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle will be out working to earn money, so they’ll have to rely on you guys to take care of the family, especially Grandpa and Grandma. I’ll have to trouble you guys to do more work! It’s just that I think you don’t even know how to tidy up the house, wash
clothes, and cook well, so I specifically went to the royal family to hire a nanny to teach you guys how to do these things! Don’t thank me. As a junior, it’s only right for me to help you guys!”
As soon as he said this, Wang Ying and Zhang Honghun were terrified.
As expected, their joy turned to sorrow!
She didn’t expect them to be involved this time.
Wang Ying recalled Luo Cheng’s methods and immediately shivered.
“No need! Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. We’ll do all these things ourselves!”
Zhang Hong quickly declined. “We were wrong previously. We didn’t manage the home well, so the courtyard and house were in such a mess! But don’t worry, Your Highness, it definitely won’t be like this in the future!” Zhang Hong was smart, so she knew why Luo Cheng did this.
That was why she said such a thing.
Unfortunately, Luo Cheng didn’t fall for it at all.
Now she knew how to repent, why didn’t she do so earlier?
Luo Cheng had long figured out everyone’s personalities.
He didn’t believe a word of them.
Without his interference, these people wouldn’t be able to change at all.
Therefore, Luo Cheng didn’t speak at all and only stared at the two of them.
Zhang Hong, who was feeling a little apprehensive from being stared at, suddenly looked at Li Xiaoran.
Ever since she entered the Li family, Li Xiaoran hadn’t said a single word.
“Xiaoran, help me plead for mercy! We really know we were wrong. Why don’t you give us another chance?!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Zhang Hong’s words, she laughed.
“Opportunity? We’ve given you many opportunities, but unfortunately, you didn’t seize them! But speaking of this, I want to ask! When our family lived here back then, why didn’t our family give us a chance to rest and eat something?”
When Zhang Hong heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she didn’t say anything else.
Now that the matter was laid out in the open, they could only accept it.
Li Xiaoran said, “Since you really know how to repent, why don’t you learn how to behave and do chores? If you do your job well, you will naturally have a chance to do anything you want!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at Granny Huang.
“I’ll have to trouble you to teach them! I’ll come and check their learning progress every month!”
Granny Huang bowed to Luo Cheng respectfully and replied, “As you say, Your
Highness. I’ll definitely do my best to teach them!”
Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said to the Li family, “Granny Huang will come every day in the future, so you have to treat her well! Grandpa, Grandma, enjoy yourselves. We’ll visit you guys every month in the future!”
Sr. Li and Madam Li’s faces stiffened, but they could only nod blankly.
To be honest, the old couple was very grateful that Luo Cheng taught their sons and daughter-in-laws a lesson.
They believed that with Luo Cheng’s punishment, their lives would be much better in the future!
