After eating a piece of biscuit, Song Li felt as if he had opened the door to a new century. He had eaten at least eighty kinds of cakes in the past, but none of them was as delicious as this biscuit. With such magical texture and sweet taste, who would not like it?

How did Li Mingxia come up with something so delicious?

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, isn't it delicious?" Li Zhengde saw Song Li's expression and knew that the cookie must make him very satisfied, so he said.

Song Li nodded hurriedly, "It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious pastries. I don't know how your sister came up with this."

Li Zhengde looked at Song Li with some envy and touched his swollen face. If it weren't for his bad teeth, he would never give such delicious food to Song Li.

Pity.

But it’s okay. I’ll just ask my sister for a few pieces when my toothache goes away.

"Brother Zhengde, you are so good to me!" Song Lixiang thought that Li Zhengde had two younger sisters at home, but Li Zhengde did not give such delicious food to his two sisters, but brought them all to himself. Song Li didn't know how to repay such affection and care.

Li Zhengde had no idea what Song Li was thinking, and when he saw someone so excited, he was a little overwhelmed, but he still nodded perfunctorily.

"We are good brothers, and this is what we should do."

So Song Li was even more moved. He didn't know that if Li Mingxia gave it to Li Zhengde, she would naturally give it to Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong, and even Li Zhengpin. She would never favor one over the other and treat Li Zhengde differently because he was a so-called scholar. This would absolutely not work in Li Mingxia's family.

But how could Song Li know this? All he was thinking now was how kind his good brother was. He must be extra nice to Li Zhengde in the future!

Song Li and Li Mingyu, the two who received the delicious food, were very grateful to Li Mingxia and wanted to treat Li Mingxia with all their heart. However, Li Sanlang, who also went to deliver things, felt a little uncomfortable.

After tasting a few meatballs, Mr. Li was very satisfied and asked Mrs. Zheng to pour him a glass of wine.

Old Mrs. Zheng kept muttering about how little food was enough for everyone, and she scolded everyone from Li Sanlang to Li Mingxia, saying that they were stingy and didn't want to give the two old people any food. Li Sanlang had a lot to say but he swallowed it all back when it came to his mouth. He chatted with Old Man Li for a while and then left in a hurry. From beginning to end, no matter what Old Mrs. Zheng said or how she scolded him, Li Sanlang didn't say a word.

I had thought that my handling of the matter would satisfy Mrs. Zheng, but I didn't expect that even so, Mrs. Zheng could find fault with it.

"You see, the third son now looks at us like enemies. I said so much just now, but he ignored me. If it were in the past, he wouldn't dare to do this even if he had some courage!" Old Mrs. Zheng almost gritted her teeth when she thought about how her son used to be obedient to her.

"In the past, the third brother couldn't afford to give these things to you and me. After all, the family has been separated. You don't need to worry about it so much. Come and try this meatball. Whatever the third brother's wife cooks is really delicious!" Grandpa Li sighed and invited Grandma Zheng to eat together.

I had originally thought that this would calm her down, but I didn't expect that this sentence would make Mrs. Zheng even more furious.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! There's nothing else on your mind except eating, right?" Old Mrs. Zheng pointed at Old Mr. Li and scolded him angrily.

"If you want to eat, then eat. If you don't let me eat, I won't eat! I can't digest the food their family sent me!"

Mr. Li was confused by the scolding, but after living together for so many years, he knew that keeping quiet was the best option. As long as he didn't talk, after a while she would feel that there was no point and would shut up naturally. But if he chose to start an argument at this time, then things would be out of control.

If it were any other time, this trick of Grandpa Li would work, but it was obvious that Grandma Zheng was extremely angry today. Grandpa Li kept scolding her while eating her meatballs, and even when there was only half of the meatballs left in the bowl, Grandma Zheng showed no intention of stopping.

When Li Dalang came in, he first heard the old lady Zheng's loud scolding, but Li Dalang didn't care.

There might be nothing to eat or good clothes to wear in the Li family’s old house, but there would definitely be the sound of Old Mrs. Zheng cursing.

"Hey, what are you eating? Fried meatballs? Dad, just eat it by yourself? My body is full of wounds from the beatings from the second brother. Why don't you think of giving me some of this delicious food? If I can't take good care of myself, who will take care of you two in the future?" Li Dalang's eyes fell on the meatballs in front of Grandpa Li and he couldn't help but say.

These fried meatballs smell so good that Li Dalang couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had eaten something so delicious. Just by smelling it, he felt his saliva was about to flow.

I am the eldest son of Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng. Shouldn't all the good things come to me first?

Thinking this in his mind, Li Dalang didn't hesitate and directly reached out to take a few meatballs to taste.

Mrs. Zheng, who was scolding Mr. Li, was quick-witted and slapped Li Dalang hard on the arm, making him scream.

"Mom! What are you doing? There are so many of them, what's wrong with me eating a few? I'm not your eldest son? I can't eat them?" Li Dalang covered his hands and wailed.

Old Mrs. Zheng used to be very fond of her eldest son. After all, she had high hopes for Li Zhengxue at that time. But now it is different. Li Zhengxue no longer studies, and Li Dalang's status has plummeted. Naturally, Old Mrs. Zheng will not indulge him anymore. Now that she sees that he is actually thinking about Grandpa Li's meatballs, how can Old Mrs. Zheng still indulge him?

"I'm telling you, Boss, don't play tricks on me. Don't you know how much money the family has spent on your son's education over the years? Now that you've got the two hundred taels of silver, you want to keep it without saying anything? Don't dream! Hand it over to me quickly, or I'll take you to the authorities!"

In the past, when Mrs. Zheng talked about seeing the official, she was just trying to scare people because she knew she was not in the right. But now it is different. Mrs. Zheng can't wait to see the official right now.

"Mom, we are the only family left now. It doesn't matter who has the money."
