Chapter 906: Chapter 846: Family
After soaking in a bath with Ice Heart Grass, Liu Hun finally felt that his broken arm had healed somewhat. According to his recovery speed, it shouldn’t take more than a day or two to fully recover, so Liu Hun wasn’t too worried.
After the bath, Liu Hun strolled around the large mountain before leaving with Li Dandan.
They were silent all the way. After returning to Tonghuai County, Liu Hun drove to Li Dandan’s house. Since he previously told Li Dandan about his background, he now had to take responsibility for her safety.
Over in the Provincial City, Yang Yi was handling the company’s issues, so Liu Hun wasn’t worried about any mistakes there. His only concerns were related to the Hongxing Gang and De Yun Society.
But as it was already late, Liu Hun didn’t feel right returning immediately, so he decided to stay at Li Dandan’s house for the night.
Just after dinner, a stream of relatives and friends began to arrive at Li Dandan’s home, puzzling both Liu Hun and Li Dandan.
When the two left in the afternoon, the parents wanted to show off their daughter’s excellent boyfriend, which naturally led to the current situation.
"Little sister, congratulations! I didn’t expect Dandan to find such a capable boyfriend. We came over not only to see you but also to congratulate you." At this moment, a middle-aged woman, heavily made-up, came in with some fruit and cheerfully spoke to Li’s mother at the door.
Seeing this middle-aged woman, the parents frowned slightly, showing a hint of dislike.
The family was poor before; these relatives would never visit, let alone come by when sick. But today, suddenly all the relatives came, and the parents could easily guess it was because of Liu Hun.
The saying goes, "A person doesn’t hit a happy face," so since they had come, the parents couldn’t refuse them. Li’s mother nodded, saying, "Big sister, second sister; you’re too kind, and the others, come in and sit down."
As Li’s mother finished speaking, the two middle-aged women entered the house, accompanied by a few younger family members.
Originally, the other neighbors wanted to stay and watch the excitement, but with the arrival of the relatives, they felt uncomfortable staying and left.
"You’re the former chairman of Tianhe Company, Liu Hun, Mr. Liu, right? I’m Dandan’s aunt. You and our Dandan really make such a perfect couple; it’s just that I don’t know when we can attend your wedding banquet." The middle-aged woman who spoke earlier put down the fruit and smiled at Liu Hun.
"Hmm, we haven’t thought about the wedding yet," Liu Hun replied calmly.
The saying "poor or rich, relatives remain" roughly means that when one is poor, there are few or no relatives, but when rich, many relatives appear; this holds true in Huaxia as an eternal rule.
Though Liu Hun was meeting them for the first time, from Li Dandan and the parents’ expressions, he naturally discerned some clues.
Since they hadn’t paid attention to Li Dandan’s family before, he saw no need to flatter them now; moreover, with his apparent status, there’s no need to please these people.
"Liu Hun, I’m Dandan’s second aunt, and these are my two kids, Wu Jie and Wu Hong. Wu Jie, Wu Hong, why are you standing there? Say hello," Dandan’s second aunt hurriedly introduced with a smile to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun glanced at the two. Wu Jie seemed about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, Wu Hong was in his early twenties, dyed with short red hair, looking a bit like a delinquent.
"Brother-in-law." Wu Jie and Wu Hong reluctantly greeted Liu Hun.
"Liu Hun, this is my child, named Wang Yun; just graduated from college, majoring in economic management. I was thinking if you could help find a good internship for her," Dandan’s aunt continued.
With these words, Liu Hun understood what these two older women were up to today; they were worried about their own children.
"Aunt, second aunt, didn’t you come today to check on aunt’s health?" Liu Hun lightly laughed at them upon seeing the parents’ displeasure.
"Ahem...we saw that little sister seems fine now, so we just wanted to chat," Dandan’s aunt replied, looking a bit awkward after Liu Hun’s comment.
"If it’s just a chat, perhaps you could come another day; it’s already so late today, and we all need to rest." Liu Hun continued.
Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Dandan’s aunt and second aunt exchanged glances, showing a hint of displeasure in their eyes.
Despite being elders, being urged to leave by Liu Hun was indeed too much for them.
"Big sister, second sister, earlier today, Liu Hun and Dandan went out and he accidentally fell, hurting his arm, so perhaps you can come another day?" Li’s mother, fully aware of her sisters’ intentions, spoke up.
Though it wasn’t easy to express, to her, Liu Hun was family, and now that he was injured, he needed rest. As for other matters, those could be addressed later.
"Little sister, what do you mean by that? Your big sis and I came all the way here to see you, and now you’re just sending us away?" Li Dandan’s second aunt questioned Li’s mother in a somewhat reproachful tone.
They didn’t dare to lose their temper with Liu Hun, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t with Li’s mother. To them, their little sister had always been gentle ever since she was young, so as long as they put on a firm front, the rest would be easy to handle.
"Big sis, second sis, Liu Hun’s hand is really injured, I..." Li’s mother started to panic under their questioning.
"Little sister, even if you have a good son-in-law now, we haven’t even started on you, and you’re already telling us to leave. Isn’t that a bit ungrateful? Don’t forget, when the family was poor, if it weren’t for me and big sis leaving food for you, you would’ve starved to death long ago. One shouldn’t forget their roots." Li Dandan’s second aunt reprimanded Li’s mother without hesitation.
Li’s mother’s face grew more anxious after hearing this, and she waved her hand, saying, "No, it’s not like that..."
"This is my home, not yours!" Li’s father was a bit displeased seeing his wife being bullied.
"Li Wenshan, you ungrateful man, when you were marrying my little sister, wasn’t it me and the second one who played matchmaker for you two? Now you have the nerve to scold us, being a person can’t be that shameless." Li Dandan’s big aunt chimed in.
"Over the years, every time your two families had something going on, you came to us first. We’ve repaid any past favors. When mom passed away last year, we returned to mourn, yet you didn’t even offer us a room to rest in; now that Dandan has found a boyfriend like Liu Hun, suddenly you remember us, where were you before?" Although Li Dandan’s father spoke rarely, seeing these two families now, he felt an immense distaste.
Especially with Liu Hun being present. As a father, he naturally knew their family was no match for Liu Hun’s, so before anything else, he couldn’t let Liu Hun look down on their family, or else his daughter would inevitably be wronged in the future together with Liu Hun.
"Alright, alright, Li Wenshan, you’re something, I won’t argue with you. Little sister, as your second sister, I’ll just ask you this — are you going to help the kids or not?" Li Dandan’s second aunt knew once Li Wenshan got stubborn, he was like an ox, so she shifted her aim to the little sister.
They believed that with the little sister’s timid nature, she would certainly agree, and once Li’s mother agreed, Liu Hun as the son-in-law wouldn’t have much to say.
Unfortunately, as well laid as their plans were, they did not foresee Li Dandan.
"What happens if my mom doesn’t help?" Li Dandan, tired of this scene, stepped forward, glaring at the two of them.
"Dandan, when adults are talking, children should stay out," the two were slightly displeased by Li Dandan’s words but forced a smile anyway.
Seeing that Li Dandan was about to blow up, Liu Hun sighed softly and said, "I assume you want me to help find jobs for your children?"
As soon as Liu Hun spoke, smiles instantly spread across the faces of Li Dandan’s aunts, both nodding eagerly: "Our little Yun studied finance and is the school’s beauty too; of course, if she could intern at the company where you work, Liu Hun, that would be perfect."
"Yes, yes, Liu Hun, our family also has two kids, perhaps they could also work at your company. As for the positions, just any small managerial role will do. As elders, we can’t make things too difficult for you, can we?" Li Dandan’s second aunt nodded eagerly too.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun chuckled. Although Haitou was essentially under his name, it was now a company worth billions; even a minor managerial position wasn’t something just anyone could handle.
"What can they do? After all, I don’t solely run the company," Liu Hun smiled.
"Little Yun doesn’t need to be mentioned, she’s a university student herself. As for our two kids, one graduated high school and the other junior high. Naturally, I know their education levels are quite low, but as long as they’re willing to learn, isn’t it all the same?" Li Dandan’s second aunt was delighted, thinking Liu Hun had agreed.
"Big aunt, second aunt, do you know the market value of Haitou now? If not, let me give you a hint; as of now, it’s around thirty billion, and there will be more to come. Even the smallest managerial position requires a master’s degree, along with actual talent and skills; not just anyone can get in." Liu Hun earnestly explained to them.
Immediately, their faces fell, knowing that Liu Hun was indirectly slapping them in the face.
"If that’s really the case, then why is Dandan allowed into your company?!" Li Dandan’s big aunt, controlling her anger, demanded of Liu Hun.
"Simple, because she’s my girlfriend, so is there a problem with her being my secretary?" Liu Hun blinked, smiling gently.
"Liu Hun, are you deliberately playing with us? Don’t forget we are your elders!" Li Dandan’s second aunt finally realized, her voice turning cold.
"Sorry, this doesn’t work on me. If there’s nothing else, please head back." Liu Hun sighed.
"Fine, fine, Li Wenshan, your family is really something..." Though they didn’t dare to threaten Liu Hun, they didn’t hesitate to threaten Li Dandan’s parents.
Seeing the anger in the eyes of these two madwomen, Liu Hun worried they might cause trouble for the elders after he and Li Dandan left.
Thinking that, a chill flashed in Liu Hun’s eyes as he warned, "If you dare to trouble Uncle and Aunt next, I, Liu Hun, will definitely not let it slide!"
