Chapter 747: Chapter 785: Home Tutoring Becomes Stricter

Li Yifei had been taking care of He Fangqing for the past two days and hadn’t 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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, we’ve made a decision and now we’d like to discuss it with you."

Li Yifei grinned, seeing Xu Yingying’s 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, "It’s not just my idea, it’s something Yiyi and I have discussed together, and we’ve 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 we’ve 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 couldn’t bring himself to believe in the ’democracy’ 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 autocracy—except 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 Yifei’s attitude, Xu Yingying’s face also showed a smile, but then she quickly became serious again and said, "Yiyi, you tell Yifei."

Su Yiyi’s 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 can’t 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, "Haven’t you always been in charge of my money?"

Su Yiyi shook her head and said, "That’s not what I mean. I mean all of your money, including Sister Yingying’s, 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 Yifei’s 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. I’ve always been too extravagant with money. It’s 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 wives’ decision is surely for my own good."

Xu Yingying suddenly realized something, and cocked her chin at Li Yifei, saying, "I’ll add one more thing, although you need to ask Yiyi for approval for other expenses, Yiyi will also consult with me. We’ll discuss together whether to let you spend the money or not."

Li Yifei’s 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 Yingying’s approval was also needed, things would not be easy. His financial lifeline could be truly ruined at Xu Yingying’s hands.

If he had known it would be like this, he would not have handed over his savings. Now, for goodness’ 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, you’ve learned to be bad."

Su Yiyi’s face turned pale immediately, but Xu Yingying quickly wrapped an arm around Su Yiyi’s 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 wasn’t 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 Yifei’s exaggerated reaction, Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi almost burst out laughing. In Xu Yingying’s 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 couldn’t have said such things. No matter what Li Yifei did, she would support him, but now she had to stand by Xu Yingying’s side.

Xu Yingying cleared her throat and said, "There’s also a second point. From now on, when you go out, you must ask for my permission in advance. Don’t worry, I will definitely not stop you from normal social interactions, like having a drink with colleagues. I’ll 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 can’t just do so as you please. Take Ye Yunzhu for example, you can only visit her once a week at most, and that’s only because she’s carrying your child."

Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly. If Ye Yunzhu were to find out about this, she’d flip. But thinking about it, Ye Yunzhu was busy these days, and sometimes he couldn’t 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 didn’t let Ye Yunzhu know this was Xu Yingying’s rule, he figured she wouldn’t get mad.

"Also, Ning Xin’er is Little Yifei’s mother. That’s a fact that no one can change. But you can’t 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 Xin’er had improved a lot recently, but he wasn’t ready to develop feelings for her. So, whether or not he spent time alone with Ning Xin’er wasn’t a big deal. He readily agreed, saying, "No problem."

"Hmm!" Xu Yingying nodded her head, satisfied with Li Yifei’s response, and then continued, "I don’t care about any messy relationships you’ve had before, but from today, from this moment, you’re not allowed to talk nonsense anymore. If I find out you’re messing around with other women again, don’t blame me for not being nice to you."

This point made Li Yifei feel extremely guilty. Apart from Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er, 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 wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t trouble him.

As for Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan, they were right under his nose, so Xu Yingying discovering about them wasn’t 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 didn’t resent Xu Yingying’s 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?
