As soon as Li Zhengde heard Mr. Li's opening remarks, he knew that his feeling was correct. This was definitely not as simple as "something after death."

But now that the words have been said, no matter how much Li Zhengde tries to stop him, I'm afraid Mr. Li will still say it.

But Li Zhengde didn't understand. Logically speaking, if Mr. Li wanted to do something, wouldn't it be more convenient to just ask him, an honest father, to come? Why would he ask him to come? Maybe he would even get in the way.

But soon, Li Zhengde's question was answered.

"Dad, I know. My second brother has told me. Just tell me what you want. This is what we sons should do." Li Sanlang said honestly. Until now, he has not realized that Grandpa Li's ulterior motive is not to drink.

Although he was originally feeling unhappy, Li Sanlang even wanted to laugh when he heard this. His elder brother was very much like his honest father. He would not be able to react unless others explained things clearly.

Sure enough, Mr. Li paused after hearing what Li Sanlang said, but soon he continued talking.

"Third brother, you are filial to me, and I know it. But the reason I asked you to come here today is that I want to ask you to help me with something else. If this is successful, you can bury me casually, regardless of whether it is a coffin or not. I will still smile at you!" Old Master Li said to Li Sanlang.

People at that time valued being buried in peace and were extremely concerned about these matters. Mr. Li's words gave Li Sanlang a shock of emotion and he almost knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.

"Dad, what are you saying? You have so many sons and daughters, how can you... Dad, please stop talking like that!" Li Sanlang's voice was trembling. It was obvious that Grandpa Li's words had caused a great shock to his heart.

Mr. Li patted Li Sanlang's hand and smiled with satisfaction. It must be said that Mr. Li originally felt uncertain about the matter, but when he saw Li Sanlang's look, he felt that the matter was a sure thing.

"Third brother, you also know about Zhengxue. You were here that day, and you watched Zhengxue grow up. You can't say that the child has no flaws, but we know our own child well, and he doesn't have any bad intentions." Old Master Li sighed and said helplessly.

Li Zhengde disliked this way of expression that switched concepts. It seemed to be saying that although Li Zhengxue did those bad things, it was because he was simple-minded and had no bad intentions, and it was not intentional at all.

Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia could not accept such an explanation, but Li Sanlang nodded anyway.

In his opinion, Li Dalang was absolutely unforgivable, but Li Zhengxue was just a child and had not done anything harmful. Since his father had said so, there was nothing wrong with just following the old man's wishes.

"Yes, I know that Zhengxue is a harmless kid," said Li Sanlang.

When Mr. Li heard that Li Sanlang agreed with what he said, his eyes lit up and he became even more excited.

"Zhengxue, he is also a pitiful person, alas..."

Li Sanlang nodded again, but this time he did not speak in agreement.

Perhaps it was because he didn't know how to agree with this statement that he really couldn't agree with, but given Li Sanlang's personality, it was unrealistic to ask him to refute such irrelevant words, especially since these words were said by Old Master Li.

Li Zhengde couldn't help but glance at Li Zhengxue who was sitting next to him. Seeing his complacent expression and the way he felt that what Mr. Li said was right, Li Zhengde felt a little physically disgusted.

What kind of selfish person would have to be able to hear these words and think that the other person is right without any psychological burden?

Could it be that Li Zhengxue, who had enjoyed the support of the Li family for so many years, really felt that he deserved all of this? Did he feel that this was what everyone should do?

"Zhengxue was too impulsive that day. No matter what, he is still his teacher. No matter how upset he is, he cannot do such a thing out of anger!" Old Master Li sighed and turned the topic back to what happened that day.

"That's right. No matter what, this shouldn't be done." Li Sanlang answered very readily this time, without any hesitation. It can be seen that he was more sincere this time and spoke much more fluently than before. At least he didn't have any psychological burden.

But Li Zhengde felt that the matter was not that simple. Grandpa Li was a man who could distinguish inside from outside. Li Zhengxue's matter was a family matter to Grandpa Li. No matter it was right or wrong, Grandpa Li would not want Li Zhengde and others who had already separated to comment on it. Now that it was brought up on his own initiative, Li Zhengde would not think that Grandpa Li had changed his personality. He would only think that Grandpa Li wanted something that made her have to say these words.

If not...

Li Zhengde glanced at Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue who were sitting opposite him.

After hearing such words, if he didn't directly refute and said there was no trick, only an honest person like Li Sanlang would believe it.

"Dad, what exactly do you want me to do?" Li Sanlang couldn't understand what Grandpa Li meant after listening for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask.

Old Master Li glanced at Li Zhengde who was sitting next to him, and still felt that his preparations were not sufficient. He needed to get Li Sanlang to have more sympathy before he could express his demands.

"Zhengxue has studied for so many years. If you ask him to do something else, he will definitely not be able to do it. He is neither high nor low. Not to mention other things, even marriage will be difficult. In the end, won't I, an old man, have to worry about all these things?" When Mr. Li said this, he was really worried. If Li Zhengxue couldn't handle this matter well, he would have more things to worry about in the future.

"We are all honest farmers. It shouldn't be difficult for us to marry a capable big-footed wife instead of a daughter of an official family." Li Sanlang thought for a moment and said.

What Li Sanlang said was true. If Li Zhengxue stopped studying, he would not be able to do farm work. However, if his family could afford a higher bride price, and Li Zhengxue was good-looking, there would still be a capable big-footed wife for him to marry into the family.

In fact, when Li Sanlang said this, he still felt a little guilty. If a good girl from another family married Li Zhengxue, she would be destined to suffer hardships in her life. Li Sanlang didn't believe that she could rely on Li Zhengxue to work in the fields, even without others telling her.
