Li Sanlang was happy in his heart. After all, his son went with him, right? Even if he was unwilling, it also showed that his son didn't only care about his mother and sister, but also had the status of a father.

Thinking of this, Li Sanlang's mood improved.

"Let's listen to what your grandfather says in a while. We just need to listen and do our job. If we don't want to talk, we won't say anything." Li Sanlang said to Li Zhengde.

It must be said that Li Sanlang's words made Li Zhengde feel better. No matter what, he had to show his attitude. Li Zhengde felt sick just thinking about what Li Dalang had done. If he was asked to greet Li Dalang and have a nice conversation with him, it would be too difficult for him. Li Zhengde felt that he could not do it and did not want to suffer this grievance.

Since Li Sanlang took the initiative to say this, Li Zhengde nodded and said, "Anyway, today I'm just listening to what grandpa and grandma have to say. I can't say anything to others."

Li Zhengde didn't want to have any contact with the people here. When he really couldn't avoid it, he would talk as little as possible and have no communication at all.

Seeing Li Zhengde's expression, Li Sanlang knew what his son was thinking. He didn't say anything, but just agreed.

When Li Zhengde arrived at the Li family's old house, he was actually still confused. There was no other reason. He was just wondering why only he and his father were called to this matter, and why his second uncle and his eldest brother were not called?

If he doesn't call me eldest brother, it can be explained, after all, there are two people in their family. But it doesn't make sense if the second uncle doesn't come, right?

Even if Second Uncle had just divided his business and didn't have much money, how could Grandpa Li not let Second Uncle come for such a big matter?

Could it be that he took the matter between his second uncle and Li Dalang into consideration?

It's not impossible, but...

Li Zhengde glanced in the direction of the main house, but his grandfather...

Can you really be so kind?

Li Zhengde didn't have time to think about it. Just as he was about to ask Li Sanlang again, Mr. Li and the others seemed to have heard the voice and came out.

"The third brother is here? Zhengde is here! I thought you would be a little late. Zhengde, did you just come back from school? You must be exhausted. Studying, don't look down on working in the fields, but it is tiring for the brain and not relaxing at all. Only those who have experienced this kind of hardship know, don't you think, Zhengde?" Grandpa Li smiled as soon as he saw Li Zhengde. He walked quickly to Li Zhengde while talking. His affectionate look made people feel uncomfortable.

"Master, what you said is not right." Li Zhengde said with a stern face, without any beating around the bush.

No one expected that Li Zhengde would refute Grandpa Li. Firstly, Grandpa Li's words seemed to flatter Li Zhengde, which was luxurious no matter how you looked at it, and Li Zhengde had no reason to refute. Secondly, no matter what, Grandpa Li was Li Zhengde's elder and the one with the highest seniority in the Li family. Not to mention Li Zhengde, even Li Sanlang had to be obedient in front of Grandpa Li. What's more, Li Zhengde had never been a favored grandson, so how could he refute Grandpa Li?

But that's exactly what Li Zhengde did today.

Mr. Li was stunned and the smile on his face froze all of a sudden. Perhaps he didn't expect to be refuted by Li Zhengde.

"Grandpa, let's not talk about anything else. Just look at how hard you and grandma work. We have to work so much harder than those of us who study. We study and write, we are not exposed to the wind or rain, we eat well and live well every day, we don't have to work in the fields, and our family will take care of everything we ask for. I don't know how many people in the village envy us for such a life. How can you still say that you work hard? If we have to talk about hard work, it has to be grandpa and grandma who work the hardest. If the rest of us, the younger generation, say anything about hard work in front of grandpa and grandma, it would be too shameless."

“It’s just so shameless.”

Li Zhengde uttered the last sentence with gritted teeth, enunciating each word in a loud voice to ensure that everyone present heard it.

Old Master Li did not notice the sudden change in the expression of Li Zhengxue who was standing behind him. Instead, he patted Li Zhengde's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Look, those who study are different from those who don't. Now our Zhengde also understands the truth and knows how not easy it is to feel sorry for grandparents. Good boy, good boy, third brother, it's not that my father's words are unpleasant to the ear, but your son will be much better than you in the future! Just wait to enjoy your life, hahahahahaha." Grandpa Li originally felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but after listening to Li Zhengde's words, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He just felt happy and comforted.

Li Sanlang did not react to what Li Zhengde said at first, but now seeing that Grandpa Li was so happy and even Grandma Zheng had a smile on her face, Li Sanlang finally reacted. He realized that his son had really grown up. He could not have imagined the words he would say, but his son knew what to say without even thinking about it.

Look at how happy my parents are. I have been doing this for so many years and my son has grown up, but I have never made them so happy. I am really not as good as my own son!

Although he thought so, Li Sanlang was also really happy. What could be happier than his son's success? Even Li Sanlang was no exception.

"Don't stand here and talk. It's windy here. Every word you say will result in a cold wind. You are in good health, but I, who am tall as the sky and earth, cannot compare with you. If you don't go into the house, I will." Old Mrs. Zheng said unhappily.

If she didn't have something for Li Sanlang and Li Zhengde to do, she wouldn't have come out. Standing outside for such a long time in such a cold weather would be freezing.

Although her words were still harsh, it was a rare occasion for Old Lady Zheng. Normally, anyone who dared to ask Old Lady Zheng to do something would have to be prepared to be scolded for a whole year. Such treatment today was something she would never have dared to imagine in the past.

Li Sanlang didn't think much about it, he just thought that his performance made Old Lady Zheng happy, but Li Zhengde didn't think so.

If Old Madam Zheng was really such an easy-to-please person, then it was impossible for Zhang to fail to meet Old Madam Zheng's standards, and it was even more impossible for her to force people to separate from the family and live on their own. If it was just Old Master Li who came out, Li Zhengde might have thought it was nothing, but now he just felt it was strange.
