Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Yes, that’s all Li Zhengde’s psychological drama is about. Li Mingxia knows his younger brother too well.

"I just feel that my wrist has been held by you for too long and it's numb. Let me move it around. You can hold it if you want. You're still afraid of the dark at this age? Only if I were your sister, would you, as a brother, not only protect me but also want me to give you the confidence? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it? How are you going to get married when you grow up like this?" Li Mingxia glared at Li Zhengde helplessly.

Although she knew that Li Zhengde was not afraid of the dark, she obviously could not say anything that would bring down her own brother in this situation, lest the little boy feel ashamed and refuse to say anything.

Anyway, they both want to get on the same level, so the reason doesn't matter.

After hearing what Li Mingxia said, Li Zhengde's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy. The haze on his face seemed to be blown away by the strong wind in an instant, and the sky became sunny.

"I'm not afraid of the dark, sister, don't underestimate me." Li Zhengde muttered softly, and without any politeness, he held Li Mingxia's wrist again.

"What did you say?"

"It's okay. I said it will be fine in a few years and you won't be afraid of the dark anymore. Then I will be the one protecting my sister and she won't have to worry about protecting me." Li Zhengde said with a smile.

Li Mingxia really didn't hear clearly what Li Zhengde said, but he just gave him a way out casually, so he naturally wouldn't dwell on these things.

"Why, are you scared after hearing that you can't get married like this?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry." Li Zhengde shook his head and said to Li Mingxia very seriously.

"I want to build my career first, make a name for myself, and then think about other things. I'm not in a hurry to get married. I won't consider it until I'm sure I can protect the people around me, so that I don't become a burden to others. I don't want to, and the good girl may not want to either. It's better for no one to delay anyone else's marriage."

Li Mingxia was just joking at first, but now he felt that what Li Zhengde said made sense, so he naturally did not refute it. He even felt that this was very responsible and that this was the way it should be.

"Just say this in front of me. Don't say it in front of my parents, otherwise they will scold you. You can't say these things in front of your brother either. Your brother is getting married in two months. You can't say this, okay?" Li Mingxia gently tapped Li Zhengde's forehead and warned in a low voice.

Li Zhengde is not a fool, so he would not say such words to make himself unhappy.

"Sister, what about you? Do you think what I said is right?" Li Zhengde asked Li Mingxia.

Li Zhengde wanted to hear Li Mingxia's opinion on anything, and this matter was no exception.

Li Zhengde nodded, "Do you still need to ask me this? Of course it's right, you will know it if you look at me."

"I would never think of getting married before I met someone I liked. Even if I were thirty or forty, or even older, I would not force myself to marry someone I didn't like."

"Although I am not a wealthy man now, I will work hard and double my efforts. This way, no matter what I say or what decision I make, I will have confidence in my heart."

"At first, my parents didn't want me to do this. They thought it wasn't something a girl should do. My mother told me that girls have to get married. No matter how capable I am or how much money I can make, I can't not get married. I will be criticized by others. My mother also told me that she couldn't sleep all night when she thought about me saying I didn't want to get married."

"You know, I feel sorry for Mom, but these things can't be solved just by feeling sorry for Mom. I can't use my happiness in this life as a tool to make Mom and Dad happy, right?"

"Look now, I just opened a workshop and a restaurant. The money I made is still far from enough in my opinion, but in the eyes of my parents, it is enough."

"Last time, Aunt Fan from the village came to our house and said she wanted to introduce me to a perfect husband. When mother heard the conditions, she immediately refused. She told me that such conditions were not worthy of you. Mother would rather you stay single for the rest of your life than let you marry someone who is not worthy of you."

Although it still sounds awkward, Li Mingxia thinks it is very rare.

If it were in the past, in a few years, let alone a normal man with slightly worse conditions, even if he was missing limbs, my family would probably persuade Li Mingxia to just accept it.

So this is the power of “chips”, you must have enough of them before you can make everyone quiet down and listen to you.

This principle also applies to family members.

"Sister, I'm glad you understand me." Li Zhengde nodded. The excitement in his heart had gradually calmed down, and he no longer felt the shortness of breath he had just felt.

"You asked me so many questions, but I didn't answer you directly on that one question. That's because I had to do it. It's also a secret that I can't tell you. Let me ask you, do I have to ask this question? Is it okay if I don't ask it?"

Li Mingxia remembered Li Zhengde's question, and seeing Li Zhengde in deep thought, he asked tentatively.

If it was something else, Li Zhengde would have nodded without saying a word when he heard Li Mingxia say this, but this matter was really different, and Li Zhengde really wanted to know.

So he looked at Li Mingxia and gave an answer: "I really want to know, and I am willing to swear on my life that I will absolutely keep the secret for my sister and will not reveal this secret to anyone. If I break my oath, I will die a miserable death, my wife and children will be separated, and the people I care about the most will never pay attention to me again. All my hard work will be in vain."

Such an oath was considered very serious in ancient times when everyone believed in ghosts and gods.

Li Mingxia was somewhat moved, but still didn't understand why Li Zhengde was so insistent on knowing this.

"If you believe me but still don't want to tell me, then I'll accept it. But please think about it carefully, because I really want to know."

Li Mingxia: "What if I insist on not telling you? What will you do?"

"It doesn't matter. If you insist, let's just leave it at that. I won't ask again. But please treat everyone equally. Don't tell me, and don't tell anyone else. No one can do that."
