After Li Mingyu and Li Erlang discussed this matter, Li Mingyu prepared to go to the kitchen to see what ingredients were available at home. If there were not enough, he could go to the village to exchange with others while there was still time. This time he was completely entertaining guests at home, and he couldn't let Third Aunt and the others not eat well.

Thinking this, Li Mingyu went out, planning to go to the backyard to carry the pheasant and some other meat from his home into the house to thaw.

As soon as I went out, I heard someone knocking on the door of my yard.

Li Mingyu thought it was Li Mingxia's family, so he quickly went to open the door, but when he saw who was at the door clearly, he was stunned.

It turned out to be Hua Shi and Li Mingxi!

What are they doing here?

Li Mingyu frowned, "Aunt, Sister Mingxi, what can I do for you?"

Although he disliked Hua and Li Mingxi, there had never been any actual conflict between them. Li Mingyu's hostility towards Hua and Li Mingxi was not as great as that towards Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue.

Hua Shi was holding Li Mingxi's hand. Seeing Li Mingyu standing at the door with a vigilant look on his face but not angry, he smiled and raised the thing in his hand to show Li Mingyu.

"I came to see you and your father." Hua said to Li Mingyu straight to the point: "You won't let us in? Don't worry, I really just came to see you and your father, I don't have any other intentions, put down your things, say a few words, Mingxi and I will leave, we still have to go to your third aunt's house to deliver something."

Hua's words made Li Mingyu less defensive. He thought that there were only Hua and Li Mingxi, and his father was at home, so there was nothing to be afraid of!

Thinking of this, Li Mingyu moved aside and let Hua bring Li Mingxi in.

Li Erlang had already seen Hua and Li Mingxi at the door. His expression looked a little conflicted, as if he didn't know how to face Li Mingxi and Hua. After all, Li Dalang and Jin were both disgusting to him and Hua.

It was Hua who spoke first: "Let's talk about our own affairs. I am older than you. If you want, you can call me Sister Hua."

Li Erlang breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, and nodded, "Sister Hua, why are you and Mingxi here? I was a little embarrassed."

Li Erlang had no opinion about Hua. He was not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, Li Erlang was a very clear-headed person. He knew who was the problem and who was not. So even if he felt particularly disgusted with Li Dalang and Jin, he would never vent his anger on Hua and Li Mingxi because of this matter. On the contrary, when he saw Hua, he felt like two victims meeting each other.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are neighbors now. As you know, I will live with Mingxi. We are two girls, so if there is any heavy work that we can't do, we will have to trouble her uncle for help." Hua said immediately with a smile.

Although he said that, Li Mingyu knew in his heart that Hua Shi was not here just to lend a hand.

But Li Erlang was an honest man, so he believed what Hua said and immediately said, "It's nothing. If you have any work that you can't do, just tell me and I'll go there directly. Anyway, there is no work in town right now, so I'm basically at home."

Hua smiled and agreed.

Li Mingyu brought two bowls of brown sugar water and handed them to Hua Shi and Li Mingxi. Regardless of whether she talked or Li Mingxi drank it, this was something she had to do. Otherwise, if it got out, others would laugh at their family for not knowing how to entertain guests.

Hua took it and praised Li Mingyu, "You are a grown-up girl now. Now you can entertain guests properly."

Li Mingyu smiled and gave the remaining bowl to Li Mingxi. As long as Li Mingxi took it, it would be fine. Li Mingyu didn't care whether he drank it or not.

After all, when Li Mingxi was at the Li family's old house, he showed that he was not very willing to interact with Li Mingyu and the others, and he always looked superior.

But unexpectedly, today Li Mingxi not only took the bowl of brown sugar water, but also whispered thank you. Li Mingyu looked at Li Mingxi with some surprise, and even suspected that he was hallucinating.

Hua looked at her daughter with relief, and the heavy stone in her heart was finally put down.

Although Li Mingxi said that night that she would change and would not be like before, Hua Shi still felt a little unsure in her heart. Now that she saw her daughter had changed so much, she didn't say it, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Uncle, I came here today for no other reason than to tell you that I have no idea about the beastly things that Li Dalang did, and they have nothing to do with me. I have made up my mind not to have anything to do with him anymore. Let alone Li Dalang, I have to say something unpleasant, I don't even like the people left in the Li family's old house."

Hua said it very straightforwardly, but she was also watching Li Erlang's expression the whole time. After all, the remaining people in the Li family's old house included Li Erlang's parents, that is, Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Li.

But what was unexpected was that Li Erlang had no reaction at all, and his expression did not fluctuate at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, as if Hua had just mentioned some strangers.

Seeing Li Erlang's reaction, Hua suddenly felt that she seemed to be unable to understand the person in front of her.

You said that he is honest, easy to bully and values ​​filial piety, but how come Li Erlang doesn't seem unhappy even after I said so?

But if you say that Li Erlang has no feelings for Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, then why would Li Erlang willingly wear the green hat for so many years just because of a word from Mrs. Zheng?

Which one is the real Li Erlang?

In fact, Fahrenheit doesn’t know which one it is.

However, the honest, kind-hearted and filial Li Erlang had been heartbroken by Old Lady Zheng time and time again.

Including when the family was divided, Grandpa Li did not impose any substantial punishment on Li Dalang. These things made Li Erlang disheartened, so now even after hearing what Hua said, Li Erlang did not feel any fluctuation. Instead, he felt a vague sense of agreement in his heart.

“If you don’t mind my harsh words, let me remind you that no matter whether it’s Jin, Li Dalang, or the old man and old lady at the Li family’s old house, you should not believe anything they say and don’t take it to heart. Otherwise, your hard-earned good life will be gone again.” Hua put down the brown sugar water in her hand and said in a gentle voice.
