Hua and Li Mingxi returned to their main room and began to pack up.

Li Dalang was busy accompanying Hua Rongrong, so he naturally had no time to deal with Hua Shi and Li Mingxi. Li Zhengxue felt a little uncomfortable, so he followed them in.

Hua didn't say anything. She just put the divorce certificate, two hundred taels of silver, and the deed to the three acres of land close to her body before packing her and Li Mingxi's clothes.

Li Zhengxue felt even more sad when he saw Hua busying around.

He was not stupid, he knew that his mother must be blaming him in her heart.

But what can he do? People die for money and birds die for food. People live to work hard to get what they want. This is what his mother gave him. Now he is just working harder to get what he wants. What's wrong with him? Didn't his mother always love him? Why didn't she understand him this time? Is it because he didn't speak up for her just now?

But this matter is actually very simple, as long as she is willing to compromise, then wouldn't it be solved easily? Why must she be so stubborn?

"Mom!" Li Zhengxue frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. There was something wrong with his tone when he called Hua.

Hua agreed casually, "You can talk, I'm busy here, and I have to clean up the house over there, so time is too tight."

Hua had already started planning what to do next and had no time to talk nonsense with Li Zhengxue.

"Why do you have to go to this extent? You can obviously stay here. You just need to pretend that you didn't see that person...my father...and mother! Haven't you ever considered me? Can't you stay?" Li Zhengxue's eyes were a little red and he said with a sob.

Hua looked at Li Zhengxue with some surprise, and she began to understand Li Mingxia a little.

So this is what it feels like to have people endlessly demanding things from you for no reason at all?

Why can we make those demands so confidently?

"Why do you let mom stay here? Dad brought that woman back, and you let mom stay here? You said mom doesn't consider you, have you considered mom?" Li Mingxi widened his eyes and said bluntly.

Li Zhengxue's face looked a little ugly, but he also knew that he was in the wrong in the end, so he didn't get angry at this moment, but just glanced at Li Mingxi with a gloomy face.

"You've seen it, you've heard it, so what do you want me to do? Am I not also considering our family? If I go back to study and pass the imperial examination, won't mother and you be able to live a good life in the future?"

Not to mention Hua Shi, even Li Mingxi had heard these words so many times that he had stopped believing them a long time ago. He just listened to them in the past, but now he found them very harsh and annoying.

"Pass the imperial examination? Live a good life? You have been saying these things for so many years. If they could really come true, Dad wouldn't have brought this woman back home." Li Mingxi glanced at Li Zhengxue indifferently and put all his clothes into his bag.

Hua knew that Li Dalang did not follow in, so she took out a wooden box from the bottom of her cabinet and put it into her bag. After looking around to make sure that she had not missed anything, she was ready to take Li Mingxi away.

"Mom, what's in that box?" Li Zhengxue asked in a low voice, staring at Hua's bag.

He had no intention of telling this matter, nor did he plan to tell Li Dalang, but he hoped that Hua could take the initiative to tell him this "secret", so that he would feel that they were still a family with a close connection.

But Hua seemed to have misunderstood his meaning.

"I have been saving money for your sister's dowry. Why? You are allowed to eat and drink well and spend lavishly, but I am not allowed to make provision for your sister?"

"If you want to talk to Li Dalang, go now. I'll wait for you here. If you don't tell him now, you won't have a chance in the future." Hua was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at Li Zhengxue leisurely, as if she was very interested in his decision.

Li Zhengxue's face finally fell completely. He didn't mean that at all. Why did his mother say that? Did she really blame him?

"You guys go away, I didn't see anything, and I won't tell Dad."

This was the softest thing Li Zhengxue could say. It was not easy to make him bow his head when he was in a powerful position, but Hua did not give him a way out. After hearing what he said, she just nodded and left without looking back.

"Mingxi, do you regret it?" Hua led Li Mingxi to the small courtyard, and when they stood at the door, she asked Li Mingxi.

"Mom, as long as you don't abandon me, I will follow you wherever you go." Li Mingxi held Hua's hand and looked at her firmly.

Hua nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the door of the courtyard, and the mother and daughter walked in.

"It's not broken, it's good. As long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, nothing else matters." Hua looked around and was surprisingly satisfied with the yard.

The yard is not big, but it is definitely enough for two people to live in.

When Hua Shi came out of the Li family's old house, she took out almost everything she could take away. Now she took out two rags and started cleaning up with Li Mingxi.

Although they are neighbors with Li Mingyu and Li Erlang now, they are not treated the same as Li Erlang and Li Mingyu in the past. Li Mingxia and her family neither send them food or other things, nor hide them and pack up their things. They have to rely on themselves for everything.

However, neither Hua Shi nor Li Mingxi complained about anything. Instead, they started working seriously.

"Mom, will it be dangerous for the two of us to stay here at night?" Li Mingxi said to Hua.

Everything else was fine, but Li Mingxi still felt a little uneasy when she thought that she and her mother would be the only two women here at night.

Fahrenheit took out three padlocks from his bag like a magic trick. The huge padlocks gave a sense of security at first glance.

"Don't worry, no one can come in, and we are next to your second uncle's house. If something really happens, your second uncle will not ignore us." Hua said to Li Mingxi.

This was her purpose in wanting this yard from the very beginning. Li Erlang has always been a person who can clearly distinguish right from wrong and grudges and is very soft-hearted.

Li Mingxi nodded, and felt much more at ease looking at the three big padlocks.

"Mom, where did you get such a big padlock?" Li Mingxi asked curiously.

Hua Shi paused and did not answer her.

"Hurry up and clean up. I'll see if I can make something to eat later."
