But this is what Li Mingxia wants to see. He wants Li Sanlang to be disappointed again and again, and understand again and again who is the one who really treats him well. For someone like Old Lady Zheng, no matter how thick the filter of family affection is, it will eventually collapse because of her own actions. And according to the current situation, this day is just around the corner.

Li Sanlang was speechless. Although he didn't know how to refuse, he also knew that he absolutely could not agree to this.

Li Mingxia looked at Li Sanlang acting awkwardly for a long time, and finally he was kind enough to speak.

"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, we'll go back first." Li Mingxia stood up and said to Grandpa Li.

Li Mingxia stood up, and Zhang and Li Zhengpin also stood up. Old Master Li was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"Uncle, come over tomorrow morning after breakfast. There's a lot of work to do, so we can't delay."

The eloquent Li Dalang and the chattering old lady Zheng fell silent at the same time. No one expected that Li Mingxia would handle the matter in this way. He didn't say a word and just ignored them!

This little girl is really full of evil intentions! Old Madam Zheng thought with gnashing teeth.

"Hey!" Li Erlang raised his head, glanced at Mr. Li and nodded. There seemed to be a little more smile on his face, which had always looked wooden.

He would go wherever he wanted to work, and if he could work with Li Sanlang, who he got along well with, he would definitely be willing to do so.

Li Mingxia felt inexplicably uncomfortable when looking at Li Erlang like this. The sufferings of each person are different, but when his life becomes better, he can't help but sympathize with those who had experienced the same hardships with him in the past.

But now Li Mingxia has no way to rescue Li Erlang. The most he can do is to take care of him as much as possible.

"Then we'll go first, Master." After Li Mingxia finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Zhang and Li Zhengpin followed him out. Li Sanlang sat on the bench. Since he didn't stand up with Li Mingxia just now, he didn't know whether to leave or not.

When Li Mingxia was about to reach the door, he stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's go. If you haven't talked enough with my grandfather, come back tomorrow."

Li Sanlang felt as if he had heard some heavenly sound. His heart suddenly calmed down and he immediately stood up and walked over.

"Hey! Here we come!"

When Mrs. Zheng saw that this family really didn't give him any chance, she immediately changed the topic she was concerned about: "You are using the second child for nothing? You only provide one meal? Why don't you pay him?"

Li Mingxia raised her eyebrows. She thought that Old Lady Zheng could resist asking. She really overestimated her.

"I forgot to mention this. I was thinking about how my grandfather always said that we are a family, and we put money out in the open, saying that we were afraid that you would be embarrassed to ask for it. So we didn't mention it. Fifteen cents a day, for a meal. Dad, mom, let's go back quickly. There are too many people in this room, and it's suffocating." Li Mingxia smiled. When Li Zhengpin heard this, he immediately opened the door, "Little sister, you go first."

Mr. Li glanced at Li Erlang who was standing beside him and said, "Old Er, you have a good relationship with Old San. You should work hard these days and persuade your Third Brother if you have nothing to do. No matter what, we are a family, right?"

Li Erlang nodded, "Dad, I understand."

Mrs. Zheng was now furious. She stared into Li Erlang's eyes and said, "I'm telling you, you have to give me back every penny of the fifteen cents a day. Not even a penny less will do!"

Even if this sentence was not said, Jilang would have done the same thing. Old Mrs. Zheng also knew this in her heart. Saying this was nothing more than looking for trouble to vent her anger.

"I know, mother." Li Erlang said respectfully, without any emotional fluctuation at all because of Mrs. Zheng's unreasonable anger.

"Okay, stop looking for trouble. We all know what kind of person Lao Er is. Do you need to tell me this? Go back to bed quickly, Lao Er." Old Master Li interrupted Old Lady Zheng with a frown and said to Li Erlang.

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Erlang's departing back gloomily. Without saying anything else, she blew out the candle and went to bed.

The next day, after having breakfast at home, Li Erlang went to Li Mingxia's house. Perhaps because he went too early, the workers had not arrived yet. Li Erlang didn't want to be idle, so he found some work for himself.

"Second brother, the workers haven't arrived yet, come in and eat something." When Li Sanlang came out, he saw Li Erlang moving bricks, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

But Li Erlang was unwilling to do so. He came so early on purpose, just wanting to help his third brother more.

"It's okay, I'm done eating, you go in and eat, I'll call you when they come." Li Erlang said.

As they were talking, Li Mingxia and Li Zhengpin heard the voice and came out. When they saw the situation, they naturally knew what was going on. It was impossible for Li Mingxia to treat his second uncle badly when he was so sincere and wholeheartedly wanted to help with the work.

"Second uncle, please come in with us first. I have something to tell you." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

When Li Erlang heard Li Mingxia say this, he put down the brick in his hand and followed them into the house.

Li Mingxia's family was having dinner at this time. When Li Erlang went in, he saw Zhang Lishan sitting at the table and drinking porridge with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, please sit down first. There is no rush. We can talk while we eat." Li Mingxia served Li Erlang a bowl of porridge filled with shredded pork.

Looking at the rice and shredded pork porridge in front of him, the several dishes on the table, and a large bowl of fragrant, greasy pancakes, Li Erlang's stomach growled.

He ate three sweet potatoes at home in the morning. It was obviously not enough to fill an adult man like Li Erlang, but Mrs. Zheng didn't let him eat more.

"What delicious food do we have at home? Didn't your eldest brother tell you how good the food is at the third brother's house? Eat more at noon, and you won't have to eat dinner when you come back in the evening!"

"Uncle, eat more!" Li Zhengde picked up a meat pie for Li Erlang.

"Second brother, I'm older than you, so I call you that. This is your own brother's home, there's nothing wrong with you eating something. My sister told me that you are the most honest and capable person. As a big brother, I'm proud of people like you!" Zhang Lishan spoke first, breaking the strange atmosphere at the table.

Li Erlang's tense body relaxed instantly.
