The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 32 Delusion
The meal was ready. Su Yitong came out of the kitchen and called her brother to move the table so that they could eat dinner outside.
Li Chunsheng immediately stood up, walked to the main room to move the table, and worked silently. He did not say a word to Su Yitong or even look at her.
In the past few years, the two still talked. In the past two years, Su Yitong has grown older, and the girl naturally knows how to avoid suspicion, and gradually the two have become estranged. Mrs. Li has not seen her son and Su Yitong in the same picture for a long time.
Old Mrs. Li has always been keeping an eye on Li Chunsheng. No one knows a son better than his mother. Old Mrs. Su always felt that something was wrong.
In the past two years, Su Yitong rarely went out on weekdays. Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat. This was not right. Li Chunsheng's deliberate avoidance was not right. He looked like he was guilty.
Mrs. Li was in a state of anxiety while eating. She could not eat the food on the table. She was afraid that she would show something, so she was very tired during the meal.
Old lady Li secretly observed Li Chunsheng's every move, but Li Chunsheng didn't even look at Su Yitong. This made old lady Li's heart sink.
He was always open and honest with everyone, doing what he should do! He didn't even avoid looking at Su Yijia, who had just left and returned home. But he didn't even look at Su Yitong.
This seemingly insignificant action is the most abnormal action.
After dinner, they returned to the Li family. Old Mrs. Li stopped Li Chunsheng who was about to go back to her room.
Old Mrs. Li called her son into her room and closed the door tightly.
Li Chunsheng saw that his mother seemed to have something to say, so he stood aside obediently, lowered his head and waited to be scolded.
Old Mrs. Li sat there, looking at Li Chunsheng, just sitting there silently.
Li Chunsheng waited for a long time, and when he saw that his mother didn't say anything, he raised his head. He saw that his mother was looking at him, but she was obviously distracted, so he called out, "Mom."
Mrs. Li was called back to her senses by Li Chunsheng. She looked at her son and decided to speak directly: "Chunsheng! The girl you like is Su Yitong, right?"
This sentence instantly sobered up Li Chunsheng, who was already sleepy: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense, or others will hear it and ruin the reputation of the girl."
Old Mrs. Li looked into Li Chunsheng's eyes and said, "No! I guessed wrong!"
Looking at Li Chunsheng's performance, Mrs. Li has already determined an eight-point victory.
Li Chunsheng: "Of course I guessed wrong, that's a little girl. After Brother Su San passed the imperial examination, she was going to marry a scholar."
Old Lady Li: "Chunsheng! Even if your third brother Su fails to pass the exam this time, it's wishful thinking for us to marry Yitong."
Old Madam Li stopped Li Chunsheng from speaking and continued, "Before we fled from the famine, our family was also a well-off family in the village. If our family was still the same as before, and Yitong broke off the engagement, mother would dare to ask for you. But now, although our family has had a better life in the past two years, it is still far worse than the Su family!"
Li Chunsheng had long understood what Old Lady Li said, but when someone told him these words clearly, he still felt uncomfortable. Li Chunsheng controlled his emotions and said, "Mom, I understand what you said. I don't have any delusions. You think too much. I don't have that intention."
Old Madam Li looked at Li Chunsheng, tears gradually welling up in her eyes as she said, "You don't understand. You know, I taught your elder sister to do that. It was me who asked her to take the initiative to find your brother-in-law and seduce him into marrying her. When she got married, I deducted all the betrothal gifts, so that your elder sister could marry without any dowry.
Li Chunsheng didn't want Mrs. Li to continue talking, so he called out, "Mom."
Mrs. Li looked at him and continued, "You were still young at the time, and you didn't know some things clearly. I told you today because I wanted you to understand that our family is inferior to the Su family, and this inferiority cannot be made up."
Old Mrs. Li still shed tears: "I did that back then because I really had no choice. I did it to keep our family alive. At that time, our family had run out of food. If I hadn't done that, I'm afraid we would have starved to death."
Mrs. Li stood up and grabbed Li Chunsheng's hand: "Chunsheng! You know what! For so many years, this has been a pain in my mother's heart. Every time I think of it, my heart is blocked. Which mother wants her daughter to marry like that? I am sorry for your elder sister! For so many years, she couldn't hold her head up in the Su family. If it weren't for your hard work in the past few years, your elder sister would probably still be dragged down by our family. How can I be a mother like this! When a daughter gets married, without a capable family, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family."
Mrs. Li was already in tears, and she felt deeply guilty towards her eldest daughter. Over the years, Mrs. Li tried her best not to trouble Li Hongmei. But the situation of the Li family in the past few years was there, so how could she not drag down Li Hongmei!
Li Chunsheng didn't know the truth about Li Hongmei's marriage to the Su family. He was only five or six years old at that time.
What Old Lady Li said was like a basin of cold water pouring down on Li Chunsheng's head and face. Although Li Chunsheng knew that his thoughts were delusional, he still had some thoughts in his heart. What if! As long as Su Yitong didn't get married, it was not impossible for him.
Li Chunsheng has been working hard to make himself stronger and narrow the gap between him and Su Yitong. He has been working hard to learn hunting, saving money, and reading. But it turns out that all his efforts are in vain.
Li Chunsheng understood what Mrs. Li meant. The Li family was not worthy of marrying into the Su family. The Li family also did not have the face to marry into the Su family.
Li Chunsheng tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry."
After saying that, he left Mrs. Li's room and returned to his own room.
Li Chunsheng closed his door and couldn't hold it in any longer. He squatted at the door and cried silently.
Those delusions of his, the sunshine of his youth, are no longer possible.
The next day, Li Chunsheng got up as usual, had breakfast as usual, and went to the Su family's study class.
Old Madam Li called out to the person who was about to leave: "Chunsheng."
Li Chunsheng replied without looking back: "Mom, I understand, don't worry." After saying that, he walked out.
Old Mrs. Li looked at the empty door and sighed deeply. After all, she felt sorry for Chunsheng.
When Li Chunsheng arrived at the door of the Su family, he took a few deep breaths before pushing open the door.
He said to himself in his heart: That's it! Li Chunsheng. Don't have any more delusions.
