Chapter 993: Chapter 1034: Decided by Drawing Lots

"Ah..." Li Xinyue suddenly sighed while driving.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "What’s wrong? Are you worried about your dad?"

"It’s not worry, it’s just that I’m moved. All these years, my dad has always asked me for money. Although I know he didn’t want to, he also listened to my stepmom. I really didn’t expect that today, on this matter, my dad would be so firm, thinking so much about me."

"He is your biological father. Perhaps for the sake of the family, he had to compromise. But when it really involved a major issue in your life, he still did what he should have done. I’m really relieved for you. Yiyi’s father even thought about selling Yiyi before. Compared to Yiyi, you’re still very fortunate."

"Ah, that’s another matter. Poor Yiyi."

"Yes, so when I see your father like that, I feel you should help him. But... your stepmom is really something. I’ve had the urge to slap her."

Li Xinyue sighed and said, "I’m annoyed by her too. If it weren’t for Xuehai, I really would want my dad to divorce her. But Xuehai is my dad’s son, after all. I guess I’ll still have to compromise with Wang Xiaohong and keep things the same."

"That’s also okay, but we still need to do something, which is to let your dad live with dignity. We can’t let that Wang Xiaohong boss everyone around at home."

Li Xinyue forced a smile and said, "I would like that too, but my dad is so timid. We can’t go and argue with Wang Xiaohong, right? Even if we suppress her in the moment, I’m afraid she’ll make my dad suffer later."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Everyone has weaknesses. Wang Xiaohong must have her weak points too. As long as we grasp those, she can’t help but comply. She bullies your dad, and your dad’s timidity is also a reason. Just let your dad hold his head high and have a say at home, then Wang Xiaohong will have to behave."

"What do you suggest we do?" Li Xinyue suddenly perked up.

"Hehe, it’s actually quite simple. First, you need to stand up for yourself. Make Wang Xiaohong realize that if she’s bad to your dad, you will not give her a penny. If she does something excessive at home, you won’t deal with her either."

"What if she really mistreats my dad?" asked Li Xinyue, somewhat worried.

"That’s your problem. Wang Xiaohong clearly grasps this weakness of yours. As soon as your dad suffers, you give your dad money, and then she can go spend it. You just need to make her realize that this idea won’t work. That’s when she’ll change."

"Oh... Now that you mention it, it seems I’ve really spoiled her."

"Exactly. That’s how people are. If you’re weak, others will bully you. If you’re not weak and others feel they can’t bully you, then how can they bully you anymore? And if they still think about getting advantages from you, they’ll have to come and try to please you, make you happy."

"Would they come and cause trouble for us?"

"Sure, if they dare to cause trouble, I’ll throw them out. I’ll be fiercer than Boss Cheng. Evil needs to be faced with evil, and I don’t mind being that person."

Li Xinyue nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, my husband. I’ve really been tired all these years because of my dad."

"From now on, you won’t be tired anymore. If you have to be tired, I’d rather you be tired in bed."

Li Xinyue’s face turned red, and she suddenly turned the car onto a small road next to them, a secluded cornfield, then hit the brakes. Turning, she looked affectionately at Li Yifei and said, "Husband, make me tired now."

Li Yifei’s heart fluttered, and he smiled, "I like this kind of work."

The couple weren’t new to having sex in the car, and they started doing so again with ease, but this time, Li Xinyue only lasted a short while before stopping, even before Li Yifei had finished.

"I’m tired now, no more playing," Li Xinyue got off of Li Yifei and began to get dressed.

"Hey, don’t you think you’re being a bit irresponsible?" Li Yifei stared with wide eyes.

Li Xinyue pressed her lips together in a smile and said, "I can’t do it anymore, now I know everyone takes turns every evening. I can’t sneak in during the day and then lessen the fun for the sisters at night."

"No way? You’re still teasing me, this is just inhumane," Li Yifei said with frustrated eyes rolling.

Li Xinyue playfully blinked and added, "Honey, since I’ve entered this family, I can’t break the rules. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get along well. Even if no one monitors us, we should govern ourselves."

Li Yifei admitted Li Xinyue made sense, but despite her reluctance that stirred his anger, he slapped her buttock and pretended to scold, "You are getting naughtier by the day."

Li Xinyue let out a soft cry and flirtatiously said, "Then, when it’s my turn, I’ll let my husband punish me however he wants."

Li Yifei, appreciating Li Xinyue’s understanding, didn’t press on further. With many people in the house, good rules were essential to avoid issues. If everyone was like Li Xinyue, it would indeed be great. He then praised, "Xinyue, it’s great that you think this way. Now I won’t fear any conflicts among you ladies."

Li Xinyue chuckled softly and explained, "The main issue between women is just jealousy and envy. I see that no one here has an extremely problematic personality or selfishness. If you treat everyone equally, there naturally won’t be any conflicts."

Li Yifei nodded, content with the situation. The girls at home were quite considerate, and with capable managers like Su Mengxin, Ye Yunzhu, and Xu Yingying, he wasn’t worried about managing the household. Of course, he himself needed to lead by example, not overly favor Su Yiyi anymore or be excessively kind to Xu Yingying just because she was the legitimate wife.

When Li Yifei returned home, it was just in time for dinner. With a nanny around, Li Yifei didn’t need to cook as often.

At the dinner table, nobody asked how Li Xinyue had handled things during the day until after the meal was finished. Li Xinyue briefly explained, and the matter seemed trivial to them, though they were obviously pleased for Li Xinyue; having fewer troubles at home always made for a happier atmosphere.

Song Lianyao was especially happy for Li Xinyue, having witnessed firsthand how distressed she had been over the years due to family issues.

On this particularly full-house evening, even Lin Qiong had come home. After Little Yifei and Little Shuxiang had gone to bed and the nanny had returned to her room, Xu Shanshan and Su Mengfei were sent away, prompting the family to finally bring an important issue to the table.

Xu Yingying cleared her throat and said, "With everyone here tonight, it’s the perfect time to discuss arrangements concerning time spent with Yifei. Although it’s a bit awkward, it’s very important for maintaining true harmony in our home, so we can’t ignore it. Even though we’ve discussed this before, not everyone was present, and the execution was never solid. So, let’s sort it out properly today. Once decided, it cannot be changed."

After a pause, and looking around, Xu Yingying shared, "Here’s my initial thought—we’re twelve people in total, and ideally spending one day with each person is good, but that would mean the time is too spread out. So maybe two people a day with Yifei would be better, and then have one day for Yifei to rest. It’s not right for a man to be merry every night. As for who pairs up with him daily, I think we should set a schedule for that."

There was a moment of silence before Ye Yunzhu spoke up, "A complete fixed schedule won’t work. Seeing Yifei only once a week is already quite infrequent. If someone’s schedule clashes with personal issues, it could be very frustrating."

Su Mengxin laughed lightly and said, "That’s true. Maybe we should set fixed times, but allow for swaps among ourselves. Also, pairing up the same two people consistently isn’t good either, as they might grow too close and potentially form cliques. We are all equals in this household, and I hope we can continue treating each other like sisters. Even if disputes arise, they should be faced openly without forming factions which could turn small issues into big conflicts."

Chu Xiaoyao giggled, "How about we draw lots on weekends? We could have twelve lots, two for each day, and swap if needed to prevent any fixed pairings. Hehe, wouldn’t that be fun?"

Ye Yunzhu quickly agreed, "Xiaoyao, that’s not a bad idea. It could really avoid many problems. I support this."

Xu Yingying added, "I think it’s pretty good too."

Everyone soon voiced their agreement, which made Chu Xiaoyao a bit embarrassed, sticking out her tongue and saying, "I was just tossing the idea around. It’s kind of like drawing lots in ancient times, and yet you all agreed?"

Ning Xin’er laughed, "It is indeed a good idea. Of course, we’d all agree."

Chu Xiaoyao felt her spirits lift all at once. In this family, aside from creating chaos, she hadn’t felt much presence. But now, she quickly found her worth, realizing that even her whims could be worthwhile.
