Chapter 408 You Don’t Want Me as Your Mother Anymore

Hua didn't say anything, but her attitude spoke for itself. She completely agreed with what Li Mingxi said. She even thought that Li Mingxi's attitude could be even worse. Just standing at the door waving a kitchen knife was not intimidating enough.

However, Hua also understood that her daughter was very delicate before, and it was rare for her to take out a kitchen knife. It was a no-brainer to ask her to go one step further. And no matter what, even if they were divorced, the people on the other side were her biological father and brother. If they really started fighting, Li Mingxi would still be the one to watch.

As he was thinking about this, Hua suddenly reached out and took the kitchen knife from Li Mingxi's hand, took two steps forward, and stared at him sinisterly, imitating Li Dalang's move.

"Li Dalang, I won't give you these two hundred taels of silver. This is what we agreed upon from the beginning. You are just dreaming if you want these two hundred taels of silver!"

After hearing this, Li Zhengxue's expression relaxed a lot, and he even nodded slightly at Hua, as if he felt that Hua was doing this entirely for his own good. He unknowingly put himself in the camp of Hua and Li Mingxi, so he just watched Hua threatening Li Dalang with a kitchen knife, and no longer spoke for Li Dalang as he did before.

But before Li Zhengxue could show a smug expression on his face, Li Dalang's cursing was interrupted by Hua's cold voice.

"And you." Hua turned her head and stared at Li Zhengxue. Her eyes no longer had the tenderness and kindness of the past, only a sense of alienation and coldness.

"Don't think that I'm keeping these two hundred taels of silver for you because I'm not giving it to your father. These two hundred taels of silver have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it. Don't come to me if you need money. We are mother and son, and I don't want to say anything too harsh."

It’s not that Hua is cruel. If Li Zhengxue could protect her like Li Mingxi, how could she not care about her son at all?

But it’s better this way. From now on, I can just be good to my daughter and not worry about other people.

"All of this was clearly written in the divorce agreement. The village chief can testify for us. If you're not satisfied, let's go see the official!" Hua did not retreat and simply ignored Li Zhengxue's hurt look.

Injured? Aren’t you also injured?

Are they the only ones who have a heart for this?

Li Zhengxue seemed unable to believe what he heard. He looked at Hua, opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and finally found his voice.

"Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

Hua's heart ached, but she quickly calmed down.

"It's not that I don't want you anymore, it's you who don't want me, it's you who don't want your sister. Li Zhengxue, you're a grown-up now, and I won't say anything to you. Take your father back, and don't come here again. No matter what kind of stepmother he finds for you, or what kind of wife you marry in the future, it has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me. I can't afford this mother-in-law tea anymore." Hua sighed, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, her voice still trembling a little.

In the past, what she looked forward to most was to drink this cup of Grandma's tea, but now she feels that the price of this Grandma's tea is too high and she cannot afford it.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go back. Today is New Year's Day. Even if your family has nothing to do, our family has a lot to do. Zhengde has to write this couplet. That child has beautiful handwriting. If I go too late, I might not even get a number." After saying these words, Hua's tone was not as stiff as before. After all, he was her own son, and she just needed to draw a clear line between them. It was not realistic for Hua to treat her own son the same way she treated Li Dalang.

Li Zhengxue took a look at the red paper that Hua had been holding tightly in his arms, and subconsciously wanted to take it.

"Mom, let me write. I can write. My writing is definitely not worse than Li Zhengde's. Let me write." Li Zhengxue said to Hua, and there was even a hint of pleading in his tone.

This couplet has always been written by myself. If Hua Shi asked Li Zhengde to write the couplet, wouldn't it be like telling others that my literary talent is not as good as Li Zhengde's? Who can accept such a thing?

Hua looked at Li Zhengxue's pitiful appearance and knew clearly what her son cared about most. She was a little shaken and thought that since it was just a matter of couplets, she might as well let Li Zhengxue write it. After he finished writing, she would give him ten copper coins and just regard it as something she had bought with her own money. This way, it wouldn't be considered taking advantage.

But soon, Hua rejected his idea.

If I let Li Zhengxue write a couplet, would that in disguise give Li Zhengxue some kind of hope, making him feel that he would turn around and return to the Li family? Then he would come to disturb me frequently.

If it was just me, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now there's Li Mingxi, and I can't be with my daughter all the time. If my daughter is left alone, she might be bullied at home. It's better not to give Li Zhengxue any hope from the beginning, so that he won't bother me anymore.

And although ten copper coins can make him feel at ease, what about Mrs. Zheng? What about Li Dalang? Will these people sell this couplet for a sky-high price? Although he would not let them cheat him honestly, it is better to have less trouble than more, and Hua Shi did not want to cause himself any trouble.

"No need. I like what Zhengde writes. It's comfortable and beautiful to read. You must write the couplets for your family. There are so many things that will keep you busy for a long time. I feel embarrassed to bother you all the time. You should take your father home. Mingxi and I will also go to visit Zhengde's house." Hua shook her head and had no intention of putting down the kitchen knife in her hand. She turned around and waved to Li Mingxi, and the mother and daughter walked through the crowd and went to Li Zhengde's house.

The door had been locked by Li Mingxi, and the key was hanging around Li Mingxi's neck. Hua was not worried that Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue would dare to break in. If they really dared to do so, Hua would really dare to report to the police directly.

And even if they broke in, they wouldn't find anything. The banknotes and small change in the house were all on their bodies. Even if they turned the house upside down, they wouldn't find anything.

Li Dalang looked at the backs of Hua and Li Mingxi, wondering whether he should chase them and continue to harass them. However, this time he did not want to get Hua to go back, but wanted the two hundred taels of silver.
