Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Chapter 200 War and Construction 1

This time, facing the parents who unconditionally surrendered to protect their own son, Li Erya did not save face for her brother and told him everything that had happened some time ago.

"Father and mother! It's not that Tie Niu doesn't want to give the project to the elder and second brothers, but this is a matter of great importance! There can be no mistakes!"

"This is a government-bid project! It must be completed on time and with guaranteed quality!"

Before Erya could finish her words, her mother got furious.

"You damn girl! Now you've married into a rich family! You've grown powerful, haven't you? Are you starting to look down on your own brothers?"

"Wouldn't it be good for your elder and second brothers to help you? What kind of people are Li Fugui's family? Don't think you are great just because you are the village chief. Every time they see us, they bow their heads and scrape!"

"Why are you still turning your elbows outward? You don't use your own family members, but hire outsiders!"

Faced with her mother's rapid-fire attacks, Li Erya was speechless. Her family knew nothing about her two brothers, and if they knew, they would definitely not think this way.

But at this point, Li Erya could only explain patiently: "Mom, don't be anxious, listen to me. This project is indeed very important, but with the abilities of my eldest and second brothers, they really can't be competent."

"Moreover, this project was tendered by the government, and the quality requirements are very high. If it cannot be completed on time and in full, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, we decided to find a more professional team to take charge."

"What do you mean by incompetent? You little girl, now you have become an ungrateful person. If it weren't for your elder brother who worked day and night to help you and your wife, would you be able to enjoy the glory you have today?" Erya's mother shouted angrily, her face full of rage.

"Now I just want you to assign some projects to them, but you both are unwilling to do it! You are such a black-hearted person, how could I give birth to such an ungrateful and money-losing person like you!" Her words became more and more unpleasant, like a sharp knife, piercing Arya's heart.

At this time, Old Man Li next to him heard that his wife's words were a bit harsh, and he couldn't help but knock on the table with the pipe in his hand, making a crisp sound.

He frowned and said unhappily, "Shut up! You are getting old and confused! How can you say that about your own daughter? She doesn't understand the situation and has been deceived!"

His voice carried a hint of majesty, which silenced everyone present. Erya's mother also realized that her words were too harsh, but the anger in her heart had not subsided. She glared at Old Man Li fiercely, as if she was dissatisfied with his interference.

"Dad and Mom are really not what you think. Letting my eldest brother and his friends take on this project is actually harming them. As the old saying goes: Don't take on a job you don't have the skills to do."

"Our family won't touch this project. As for my eldest brother, Tie Niu said he has other plans, and we'll have to pay for them!"

After listening to his maid's words, Old Man Li thought it was okay. No matter how much or how little he earned, the maid said that at least his two sons would not suffer a loss.

He was about to agree, but his old woman jumped up again.

"You are kidding me. I don't know. Your eldest brother came back and said that if he and his brothers won the contract for this project, they could earn several thousand yuan!"

"Besides, your brother and his team have already promised others that they will assign the project once it is contracted. They have already received the deposit from them!"

The old woman was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Li Erya's nose and cursed, "You damn girl, you just don't want our family to have an easy life, right? Aren't you happy that your eldest brother and his family are making money?"

Erya looked at her mother helplessly. She knew that her mother only cared about the immediate interests and had no idea what risks and consequences were.

But she still patiently explained: "Mom, listen to me, this project is not that easy to do. What if something goes wrong? You will be held legally responsible!"

The old woman didn't take it seriously. She snorted and said, "What's the problem? You're just trying to scare me! Your brother and the others didn't say no, so why are you worrying about it?"

Erya sighed. She knew that she couldn’t communicate with her mother, so she could only turn and look at Old Man Li, hoping that he would support her.

Old man Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "The girl is right. We really can't do this recklessly. Old woman, let's listen to the girl and don't push the children into the fire pit."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately went berserk. "Mr. Li, how dare you speak to an outsider! I think you have been bewitched by this damn girl and you don't even want your own son anymore!"

Old man Li shook his head helplessly. He knew the old woman's temper. Once she made up her mind about something, nothing could change it. He had no choice but to persuade her, "Old woman, don't be anxious. Let's wait until the eldest brother comes back."

The old woman glared at him and said, "Okay, then let's wait for the eldest brother to come back! I want to see what he is thinking! If he dares to disobey me, I will not acknowledge him as my son!" After that, the old woman turned around and went into the house angrily.

Li Erya helplessly watched the old woman's departing back, praying silently in her heart that Boss Li could be more rational and not be blinded by money.

Li Erya wanted to tell her parents several times that her two brothers were cutting corners on the project and embezzling project funds.

Moreover, problems arose in the project in the end, but it was only his man who stepped forward to resolve them, while his two brothers did not repent.

They still brag outside that they are capable and that there are people who can solve any problems in the project for them, so that some people who are not aware of the situation are fooled by them and follow them to make a living.

Now the two brothers have become celebrities in the area. Their daily lives of being the center of attention and flattery have caused them to lose their original normal minds.

After finally making it to the evening, Erya, a pregnant woman, felt a little uncomfortable due to her parents' nagging throughout the afternoon.

But what can I do if I feel uncomfortable? After all, the two people in front of me are my parents. When I was a child, they saw that I was pretty and sent me to a wealthy family that was said to be a noble family in the former Qing Dynasty to be a maid for the young lady, just to earn some money to support their two sons.

Fortunately, she went to Master Nalan's house. The young lady there turned out to be a kind person. Later, the family hired a private school and Erya followed them to study and learn to read.

This continued until the war broke out, when the old Qing dynasty survivors moved their entire family to the southwest, and Erya had no choice but to return to her own home.

The girl who hadn't been seen for a few years grew up to be more and more pretty. This made her parents, who were almost desperate because of the torment of life, see hope for their son to get married and have children again.

I hope that this beautiful daughter can marry into a good family to help support the family.

When his parents learned about Zhao Tieniu's affair, they immediately agreed to the marriage, not even considering that Tieniu was more than 10 years older than their daughter.

Fortunately, Tie Niu is a man who strives for success and loves his wife. Erya lives a life like a rich lady following him.

Because Erya had studied in a private school with the young lady for several years and had been educated and influenced by a wealthy family, she quickly became the strategist and virtuous wife of the Tieniu Engineering Team.

Thanks to the couple's efforts, the engineering team has grown from a dozen people at the beginning to more than a thousand people who eat with them now.

But facing such unreasonable parents who only knew how to protect their own son, she felt really tired.

Now she is afraid that such things will happen again and again. What should she do if one day her man no longer accommodates her?

So we should be content with what we have. The lives of the two brothers now are completely different from before, but human nature is greedy.
