Chapter 214: Mr. Li vs. Li Sanlang
Chapter 214: Mr. Li vs. Li Sanlang
Hua turned around and glanced at Jin, his eyes full of provocation and pride, but only Jin could see it, and no one else could see it.
Jin was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to delay any longer. Mrs. Zheng might not be able to force Li Erlang to divorce her, but she still had the right to a few meals. Not allowing her to eat, not allowing her to eat enough, not allowing her to eat clean and fresh food, these were all easy to do.
As long as Jin and Old Lady Zheng live together, he will have to listen to Old Lady Zheng on these matters. As for Li Erlang?
Jin knew very well that if Li Erlang had not listened to Old Lady Zheng, it would be a different question whether she could marry into the family.
Even though it only took a few minutes, Mrs. Zheng was still unhappy.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Come on, lie on the kang, and I'll help you with the work. How about that? I'll serve you, and from now on I'll call you mother. Is that okay?"
It's like this again, but this trick works anytime.
Jin had no choice but to go out with gritted teeth, but she did not go to the kitchen to help. Zhang could handle it by herself, so why should she go?
In the past, Zhang could finish all those tasks by herself. Now that her whole family is gone, is there anything she can't do?
Jin turned around and went back to her room, thinking about when she would finish eating and then come out. Anyway, she knew in her heart that they tried every means to get her out not really to make her help Zhang, but just to get together to find a way to steal the wallet of that idiot Li Sanlang.
Mr. Li keeps saying that we are all family and that we are all the same. This kind of nonsense is meaningless after hearing it too much.
Jin was lying on the kang, thinking about the money she had now, and also thinking about how much money Old Lady Zheng might be able to get from Li Sanlang in a while.
She felt a little uncomfortable, but she had no choice. She couldn't offend Old Madam Zheng unless she could squeeze Hua out and make herself the Old Madam Zheng's most beloved daughter-in-law!
But this is easier said than done, and she doesn't have a son like Li Zhengxue.
Speaking of this, Jin was even more unhappy. She had several sons, but none of them could go to the academy!
If my child could go to the academy, he might be much better than Li Zhengxue! Then I might also be much better than Hua Shi.
But look at it now, all the good things belong to the Hua family. Even though Li Zhengxue has caused so many troubles for the family, doesn't Grandpa Li still side with his eldest grandson?
Do these people deserve to be treated like slaves and serve the eldest wife's family forever?
Forget about others, but Hua himself really doesn't accept it!
Why? Aren’t we all other people’s daughters-in-law? Why can Huashi eat and drink the best and have everything she wants?
"Third brother, I have something to tell you..."
Old Master Li looked at Li Sanlang and hesitated for a long time. He felt that today was a really good opportunity, and if he missed it, he might not have it again in the future.
Usually, when Li Sanlang came to the old house, he was either accompanied by Li Mingxia, Li Zhengpin or Zhang, or there was someone nearby who was not easy to talk to. Today, Li Mingxia did not come, Zhang was also sent out, and there was no outsider in the room. If he did not say it today, he might not have such an opportunity again in the future.
"Dad, go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Li Sanlang was not too nervous when talking to Grandpa Li. Although he didn't know what Grandpa Li wanted to do, he believed that his father would not say anything that would make him too embarrassed.
"Your girl Mingxia is also old enough to get married. Third brother, is dad right?"
Li Sanlang was stunned, and thought about what happened that day, "Dad, the child's mother has the final say on this matter, I don't care about it."
Although Li Sanlang trusted Old Man Li in his heart, he also knew that Li Mingxia's matter was no joke and he could not make the decision casually. Zhang would be willing to discuss other matters with him, and even if he did something wrong, Zhang would not care too much. But this matter was different. The children were Zhang's apple of her eye. If he really dared to make decisions for the children without her consent, especially if they were helping the people in the old house, Zhang would really divorce him.
"No, third brother, don't get excited first. Listen to what your father says to you. Others can harm you, but how can I, your father, harm you? Listen to what your father says and then decide whether it is okay or not. If you still don't want to, your father will definitely not force you. She is your daughter. If you don't agree, who can sell her to her? Isn't that right?" Old Master Li was afraid that Li Sanlang's voice would be too loud and Zhang in the kitchen would hear it, so he quickly held him back.
Although Li Sanlang didn't want to listen, what Grandpa Li said made sense. As long as he disagreed, it would be useless what others said. As long as he listened, Grandpa Li would be happy and Grandma Zheng would not scold him. What was wrong with that?
Thinking of this, Li Sanlang stopped making a fuss and sat on the bench, letting Mr. Li hold his hand and talk about his plan.
Li Sanlang didn't notice that at some point, Old Lady Zheng and Mrs. Hua also came over.
"Third brother, Mingxia is a capable girl. Your mother, you and your wife all know this. But let me say something that may not be so pleasant to the ear. No matter how promising and capable she is, isn't she still a country girl? This is her background. What can she do?" Old Master Li sighed and expressed great regret for this matter.
These words were unpleasant to hear, but as an honest man, Li Sanlang could accept them. He felt that these words were true and were for his own good. He felt that these words made him feel more at ease than those pleasant words. Especially since these words were said by his old father, he could accept them even more.
"Dad, you are right. There is nothing unpleasant to hear. We Mingxia know what is going on. Country people are country people, isn't it good? They are down-to-earth. How can it be that they share the same fate for a lifetime?" Li Sanlang said to Grandpa Li.
Upon hearing his son's words, Mr. Li said that it would be a lie to say that he was dissatisfied. He thought that if the first wife could be as down-to-earth as Li Sanlang and his family, they would have been successful over the years!
"Do you still remember the classmate our schoolmate Zheng Xue brought back a few days ago? That Mr. Xue, do you remember him?" Old Master Li asked in a low voice, his eyes shining as he looked at Li Sanlang.
