A Girl Who Wants to Be a Beneficial Person to Society-Chapter 326: Sugar, Sugar, Haw
Chapter 326
Cuihua Gao woke up in the early morning on the bed with Hermes silk sheets feeling comfortable stretching her plump waist that had lots of fat.
The silk beddings were so comfortable, but they slid around easily.
And they got wrinkled after sleeping on them.
Luckily she didn't need to make the bed herself since there was an auntie at home responsible for cleaning.
Although there was a big roll of fat around her belly, her pair of legs were very proportional and looked nice. Wearing tight pants made her legs look long, straight and very firm. No one could tell that she was already over 50, close to 60 years old.
Cuihua Gao weighed 140 kg. But as long as she hid the fat around her waist, people would believe her when she said she wore size S. Because her face was so deceivingly pretty - she had an oval face, a pointed chin, phoenix eyes, small nose and mouth. She was born with a face that looked naturally slender and beautiful, completely different from her rustic name. She was truly good looking with a casual and elegant temperament. She looked dignified as a bodhisattva when not smiling, and as warm as a girl next door when smiling.
Her husband, Qianmen Li was already sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper pretentiously when Cuihua Gao came downstairs after washing up. This scene always made her want to laugh. The newspaper couldn't cover her husband's round face. Her husband wasn't a very cultured person either. When he was young, he was extremely handsome. With a face like his, he would accidentally make girls passing by on the street trip and fall in front of him.
Some stubborn girls would deliberately fall down in front of him multiple times, but of course Qianmen Li wouldn't help them up since they weren't old ladies.
Now his once handsome face had become wider, rounder and fatter, but one could still vaguely see that he used to be good looking. Otherwise, a 260 kg fat guy wouldn't give people a feeling of friendliness.
With Cuihua Gao and Qianmen Li's weights combined, it would be 400 kg. Their two sons together weighed less than 300 kg.
Qianmen Li liked to eat you tiao (fried dough sticks) for breakfast, especially those fried in gutter oil from street vendors. At first, he would ask the servant to go out and buy them every morning. Later he was annoyed that the you tiao wouldn't be hot anymore when the servant came back, so he invited the you tiao hawker to come to his home and personally make them fresh every day.
Cuihua Gao also liked them. The couple didn't have good eating habits and would eat whatever unhealthy food they fancied.
Right now, a tall stack of piping hot you tiao was piled on the Hermes branded plate.
Qianmen Li could eat 4-5 sticks by himself. Now for health reasons, he limited it to 2.
Cuihua Gao was also only allowed 2.
Whenever this happened, the couple felt regretful that they didn't eat more when they were younger. Now that they were old, they had money but couldn't indulge as much as they wished.
As their eldest son Li Tangsong, dressed neatly in a shirt and trousers, came downstairs, he saw his parents happily eating you tiao and soup by the wok...
He was too exhausted to critique them. They just loved eating this particular you tiao from that small shop at the street corner. At first, they paid a huge sum to invite the shop to their home. But the hawker didn't want to, feeling that it was like working for someone and he wouldn't have freedom. As a result, his dad spent over 100 million yuan to buy the entire street just so that he could eat you tiao. It was insane... Afterwards, it just so happened that the street was in the middle of an important development project by the government, and the price went up more than ten times... Tiring.
His dad would pretentiously pick up the newspaper that he ordered and read it every day. But now, the newspaper's real purpose was to wrap the oily you tiao. The oil was dripping everywhere.
With her new manicured nails, Cuihua Gao happily wrapped the you tiao with today's newspaper and ate them.
Seeing his big brother coming down, Cuihua Gao smiled and said, "Tangtang, come quickly. Mom saved the biggest you tiao for you."
Li Tangsong: ...
He didn't want to criticize them.
He didn't understand. His dad looked just like a round fat old man wearing flowered pants and clothes. His mom wore gaudy flowery dresses. Wait no, weren't those Hermes? How could they make such a prestigious brand look so cheap? Only his parents could do that. They were both extremely tacky. He was the only one who had to work hard every day.
Sometimes, no, all the time he couldn't understand why his family was so rich? Now if he asked this question again, he would be an idiot.
He had asked before. His mom Cuihua Gao said it was because she had the fortune of a prosperous husband. His dad Qianmen Li said it was because he had the fortune of a prosperous wife... Did that even make sense? And they said it in front of him, a single dog... When he was little he would seriously listen to their story. It was an overused tale - they met on a beautiful mountain. To commemorate the mountain, they bought it. Then they discovered coal mines and other rare and precious metals, and got rich from mining them. Hahaha....
He had heard his grandfather's version of the story too. Grandfather said the couple contracted growing peaches on the mountain. For 3 years the peaches didn't grow at all. Yet they happily claimed there were peach blossoms. If not for his grandfather's financial aid, the couple would have starved. Later there was a landslide which revealed coal mines underground. As they dug for coal, the government disallowed coal mining. Then they discovered rare precious metal ores... So they switched to mining those metals instead...
He stiffly picked up a you tiao and started eating. Fine, it was delicious, crispy and fragrant.
But he couldn't smile or show a good expression, otherwise his parents would cause more nonsense. The expressionless faces that he and his younger brother had were definitely forced out by their parents' antics.
Having silly parents was tiring indeed.
His younger brother had been spoiled by them too.
As Li Tangsong ate, he called his younger brother's butler. He was very busy and had lots of things to handle, needing to coordinate his time.
Just as Li Tangsong finished his last you tiao, the butler arrived promptly.
Seeing the butler, Qianmen Li also remembered that his younger son hadn't been home for days.
"What has Jijiji been up to recently? He didn't even come home last weekend?"
Qianmen Li used a clean corner of the newspaper to wipe his mouth, then saw his eldest son's odd expression. He calmly put down the newspaper again and picked up the napkin on the table to wipe his mouth once more.
Li Tangsong's eyebrow twitched. He was used to his dad wiping his mouth with newspaper. His eyebrow twitched because compared to his nickname Tangtang, his younger brother's nickname was pathetic. Jijiji? It could easily become JJ... Simply horrendous. He just sympathized with his brother.
The butler's eyes didn't move at all, completely calm. He promptly said, "Young master said he wants to prepare to apply for Tsinghua and Peking University's graduate programs. He asked me to gather materials for him."
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Um..."
The first sound was big brother Li Tangsong, the second was dad Qianmen Li, and the last elegant "um" was mom Cuihua Gao accidentally farting from too much shock. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
The butler's expression remained unchanged, used to such things.
"What's wrong with Zaizai? Is he sick? Or did something upset him? Was he bullied by his classmates?" Cuihua Gao asked puzzledly. She was too agitated and directly used her son's baby name instead of that evil nickname.
Butler: ...Your son can only bully others, not be bullied by others...
"Young master likes a girl who is applying for Tsinghua and Peking University's graduate programs. Young master said he can't handle a long distance relationship so he wants to apply for Tsinghua and Peking University too." The butler evenly stated.
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
"Pfft..."
The family of three made the same sound in unison this time.
Li Tangsong: "In love, Zaizai is actually in a relationship, how could he be so young and already dating? He should be focusing on his studies!"
Gao Cuihua: "Oh my, Zaizai finally has someone he likes, and it's a girl too, that's wonderful. I was always worried it would be a boy."
Li Qianmen: "Girls are so scary, she must be poisoning him, our Zaizai who never cared for studying now wants to go to a top university for graduate school, he must be under some kind of spell..."
