Chapter 747: Chapter 785: Home Tutoring Becomes StricterLi Yifei had been taking care of He Fangqing for the past two days and hadnât had much good sleep. Tonight, lying in the bed, he slept very comfortably. However, lying next to him was a beautiful young woman who he couldnât touch, which inevitably left him with some regrets.
In the next two days, Li Yifei continued to take care of He Fangqing. By Thursday, she was almost able to move around by herself since the wound wasnât large and she was recovering quite easily.
On Thursday evening, Su Yiyi returned home. After dinner, Xu Yingying pulled Su Yiyi into her own room and talked with her for a long time, which made Li Yifei feel that something was not quite right. These past two days, Xu Yingying had always taken the opportunity to chat with both He Fangqing and Su Yiyi, which seemed a bit like she was plotting against him.
Indeed, his hunch wasnât wrong. Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi came into the room together, Xu Yingying with a serious face, while Su Yiyi pursed her lips, her eyes showing a mix of sympathy and amusement.
Feeling inexplicably nervous, Li Yifei cautiously asked, "Yingying, Yiyi, do you have something you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Yingying nodded and said, "Yes, weâve made a decision and now weâd like to discuss it with you."
Li Yifei grinned, seeing Xu Yingyingâs demeanor, it was clear she had already made the decision. What discussion could there be? That was just nonsense. He chuckled and said, "Whatever my wife says goes, I will resolutely carry it out."
Xu Yingying stood with Su Yiyi opposite Li Yifei and said, "Itâs not just my idea, itâs something Yiyi and I have discussed together, and weâve also talked it over with Fangqing. This is the collective opinion of us all."
Li Yifei turned to glance at He Fangqing with a reproachful look. He had been attending to this patient for days, yet she kept the plan she had agreed upon with Xu Yingying a secret from him.
Xu Yingying lifted her chin and said, "You have no reason to blame Sister Fangqing. If you disagree with the matter weâve brought up, you can totally discuss it with us. We practice democracy in our home."
Li Yifei looked at Xu Yingying, then at Su Yiyi, and couldnât bring himself to believe in the âdemocracyâ Xu Yingying spoke of. Even if they were to vote by a show of hands, Su Yiyi would surely side with Xu Yingying, and He Fangqing would certainly be in cahoots with Xu Yingying. Even if Chu Xiaoyao was brought back, it would still be three against two. Besides, Chu Xiaoyao, that girl, would definitely not support him. In the end, he would still be alone. Where was the democracy in that? It was simply autocracyâexcept that four people were ganging up to rule over him.
So Li Yifei still brazenly said, "What democracy? In our house, what my wives say is an imperial edict, and I have only to obey, with absolutely no ambiguity."
Seeing Li Yifeiâs attitude, Xu Yingyingâs face also showed a smile, but then she quickly became serious again and said, "Yiyi, you tell Yifei."
Su Yiyiâs face blushed as she stammered, "Sister Yingying, this..."
Xu Yingying said, "Yiyi, you must be prepared to be a wife, to be part of this family. If you canât even talk about such things, how can you truly integrate into this household?"
Su Yiyi bit her lip and finally said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, this... after discussing with Sister Yingying... from now on, I will be managing your money."
Li Yifei laughed, "Havenât you always been in charge of my money?"
Su Yiyi shook her head and said, "Thatâs not what I mean. I mean all of your money, including Sister Yingyingâs, will be managed by me." Now that she had started, Su Yiyi no longer stammered.
Li Yifei felt a sense of unease and asked, "What comes next?"
Seeing Li Yifeiâs guilty expression, Su Yiyi felt a bit sorry for him, but then she felt a slight pain in her lower back, promptly straightened her face again, and said, "So from now on, you will only have a thousand yuan for pocket money each month. For any other expenses, you can apply to me... apply."
Li Yifei puffed out his chest and said, "No problem. Iâve always been too extravagant with money. Itâs about time for some restraint on me."
Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Do you really agree?"
Li Yifei, with a very sincere expression, replied, "Of course I agree. My wivesâ decision is surely for my own good."
Xu Yingying suddenly realized something, and cocked her chin at Li Yifei, saying, "Iâll add one more thing, although you need to ask Yiyi for approval for other expenses, Yiyi will also consult with me. Weâll discuss together whether to let you spend the money or not."
Li Yifeiâs face turned dark immediately. He had thought that letting Su Yiyi manage the finances and since she was so good to him, he would be able to get as much money as he wanted. Now that Xu Yingyingâs approval was also needed, things would not be easy. His financial lifeline could be truly ruined at Xu Yingyingâs hands.
If he had known it would be like this, he would not have handed over his savings. Now, for goodnessâ sake, both Su Yiyi and Xu Yingying knew about those accounts, and his chances of scraping together any private money were gone.
At that moment, Su Yiyi added, "Of course, as long as your requests are completely reasonable, we will definitely be sensible about it."
Li Yifei gave Su Yiyi a sidelong glance and said, "Yiyi, youâve learned to be bad."
Su Yiyiâs face turned pale immediately, but Xu Yingying quickly wrapped an arm around Su Yiyiâs shoulders and said, "Comrade Li Yifei, I ask that you watch your words. Yiyi and I are sisters, and the decisions we make are the result of our joint deliberations. If you have any objections, you can raise them, but you cannot use threats and intimidation to deceive Yiyi. Otherwise, your monthly living expenses might even be reduced."
"I was just speaking off the cuff, off the cuff. Ah, Yiyi, you are truly the best girl, and I like you the most," Li Yifei quickly said, trying to butter her up. What a joke, a thousand yuan a month; even if Su Mengxin was supplying his cigarettes, he wasnât short on drinking money either. If a thousand yuan was just enough, it was already not bad. But if it were reduced further, that would really be deadly.
Seeing Li Yifeiâs exaggerated reaction, Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi almost burst out laughing. In Xu Yingyingâs eyes, her husband had never been so humbled before. It seemed that taking a strong stance could indeed keep Li Yifei in check.
Meanwhile, Su Yiyi found it somewhat amusing. In her heart, Brother Li was a real man, an impressive one. Yet now, in front of her, he had become somewhat submissive. However, she still felt quite sorry for him. If not for Xu Yingying, she really couldnât have said such things. No matter what Li Yifei did, she would support him, but now she had to stand by Xu Yingyingâs side.
Xu Yingying cleared her throat and said, "Thereâs also a second point. From now on, when you go out, you must ask for my permission in advance. Donât worry, I will definitely not stop you from normal social interactions, like having a drink with colleagues. Iâll agree to that."
"And then what?" Li Yifei asked with a bitter face, waiting for more.
Xu Yingying puffed out her chest and said, "However, if you are going to meet other women, you canât just do so as you please. Take Ye Yunzhu for example, you can only visit her once a week at most, and thatâs only because sheâs carrying your child."
Li Yifeiâs face darkened instantly. If Ye Yunzhu were to find out about this, sheâd flip. But thinking about it, Ye Yunzhu was busy these days, and sometimes he couldnât even see her once a week himself. If he visited her once a week, that seemed even too often, so this condition was completely acceptable. As long as he didnât let Ye Yunzhu know this was Xu Yingyingâs rule, he figured she wouldnât get mad.
"Also, Ning Xinâer is Little Yifeiâs mother. Thatâs a fact that no one can change. But you canât just be alone with her casually. If possible, you must be accompanied by someone from the house."
Li Yifei could accept this point too. His impression of Ning Xinâer had improved a lot recently, but he wasnât ready to develop feelings for her. So, whether or not he spent time alone with Ning Xinâer wasnât a big deal. He readily agreed, saying, "No problem."
"Hmm!" Xu Yingying nodded her head, satisfied with Li Yifeiâs response, and then continued, "I donât care about any messy relationships youâve had before, but from today, from this moment, youâre not allowed to talk nonsense anymore. If I find out youâre messing around with other women again, donât blame me for not being nice to you."
This point made Li Yifei feel extremely guilty. Apart from Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xinâer, there was also Lin Qiong, a ticking time bomb. Trying to break off the relationship with Lin Qiong was not an option since the deputy director of the Sub-bureau surely wouldnât let him off the hook.
Others closely associated with Li Yifei included Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao. The level of his relationships with them was neither deep nor shallow. If he made it clear to them that his wife was now keeping a tight rein, he thought they wouldnât trouble him.
As for Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan, they were right under his nose, so Xu Yingying discovering about them wasnât a concern.
The other person with a somewhat ambiguous relationship was Michelle, but Li Yifei always kept his interactions with Michelle in check. His conduct with Michelle was aboveboard with nothing he feared Xu Yingying would find out, so all in all, the one person Li Yifei truly worried about was Lin Qiong.
But with just Lin Qiong to worry about, Li Yifei figured he would find a way to cope. He nodded and said, "Okay, wife, I promise you."
Most importantly, Li Yifei didnât resent Xu Yingyingâs demands at all. That was the true attitude of a wife, and as a husband, what reason did he have to refuse such restrictions from his wife?
