Although Li Sanlang was hopelessly stupid, he was not completely brainless. At least he was not crazy enough to think that Zhang and Li Mingxia could accept Li Dalang.

In fact, what Li Sanlang was thinking was that it was normal that his family could not accept Li Dalang, but it shouldn’t be so bad that even Grandpa Li could not accept it, right?

"I asked my daughter, and she said that if we hold the wedding in a restaurant, it will cost at least two hundred taels of silver." Zhang said.

Although Li Mingxia said that one hundred taels of silver would be enough, Zhang asked for two hundred taels of silver.

This made Li Mingxia feel a little guilty, fearing that Zhang would know that he was lying.

However, Zhang did not think so. She just felt that she had been quite generous in the past year and her daughter would give her some money from time to time. If it was one hundred taels, she was afraid that Li Sanlang would really be able to grit his teeth and come up with it, so she said two hundred taels of silver.

In fact, Zhang was really thinking too much. How could Li Sanlang come up with a hundred taels of silver? In the past year, he didn't spend a penny of his money on himself. Except for buying some things for Zhang, he almost contributed all the money to the Li family's old house. His pockets might not be empty, but there was not much profit to be made from them.

"Two hundred taels of silver? That's quite a lot. But that's true. The restaurants in this town are expensive. But mother, I don't have any objection. Whatever you say is what's due." Li Sanlang said quickly.

This amount of money was an astronomical figure for Li Sanlang. He could not imagine what it would feel like to spend two hundred taels of silver at once, and he was reluctant to spend it.

But he also knew that since Zhang wanted to do this, it was a foregone conclusion. If he said more, it would only make Zhang even more unhappy.

"I have sixty taels of silver in my hand. As a mother, I will give sixty taels of silver to my son." Zhang said to Li Sanlang.

When Li Sanlang first heard it, he didn't react to what Zhang meant. When he heard that Zhang had sixty taels of silver in her hand, Li Sanlang was a little surprised, thinking that the child's mother actually had so much money!

Li Sanlang instinctively felt that the sixty taels of silver were paid by him and Zhang together, and the remaining one hundred and forty taels of silver should naturally be paid by Li Mingxia.

"It's also because I'm incompetent, otherwise I shouldn't let my daughter pay for this money. I feel embarrassed about it too." Li Sanlang said with some shame.

Zhang rolled her eyes fiercely, "Why don't you do things that are embarrassing? Since you know that the money shouldn't be paid by your daughter, then don't say those shameless words. It's understandable that your daughter takes care of you and me. Who made her have such disappointing parents? But why should she be asked to pay for her to marry a wife? Ask around in the surrounding villages to see if there is such a rule!"

"Doesn't our old man know a lot? Doesn't he know how to behave? Then you can ask the old man whether he should pay the money tomorrow summer!" Zhang said loudly to Li Sanlang, looking very emotional.

Li Sanlang was frightened by Zhang's accusation, and felt a little aggrieved after he came to his senses.

Aren't they all family members? He knew that his daughter could make money and was very capable, so what was wrong with Li Mingxia contributing a little when Zhengzhi got married?

If Li Mingxia couldn't come up with the money, or if it would cost him a lot of money, Li Sanlang would never think of doing that!

But this money is obviously nothing to Li Mingxia, and hasn't Li Mingxia always been responsible for the family expenses?

Li Sanlang didn't think it was natural for Li Mingxia to support the family, but wasn't this the default thing that had always been done?

The child’s mother also said that her daughter has worked hard to support the family. Why is she saying this again today?

"Mother, where do I have any money? Not to mention more than a hundred taels of silver, I can't even take out twenty taels of silver. Besides, didn't my daughter say..."

"My daughter, my daughter, my daughter! You only know how to rely on your daughter?! What do you need you for?! Aren't you Zhengzhi's father? Do you want to call your eldest son in and ask him whether he calls you dad or Li Mingxia dad?" Zhang interrupted Li Sanlang and said loudly!

Li Mingxia: …

Li Zhengzhi: …

But everyone could hear that Zhang was really angry this time, otherwise she wouldn't have said such serious words.

Li Sanlang looked at Zhang in amazement, then immediately turned to look at Li Mingxia, as if he didn't know who meant this.

Li Mingxia felt Li Sanlang's gaze, but continued to stare at the pigeon soup without any reaction.

It's almost done, and it's ready to be served. The hot and fragrant pigeon soup tastes really good! I must drink two more bowls later, otherwise I'll really let myself down for working so hard for so long.

As for others, don’t look at me, don’t look at me, I don’t know, I don’t know!

Li Sanlang looked at Li Mingxia as if he had heard nothing and knew nothing, so he could only turn his head and continue to face the furious Zhang.

"Mother of the child, what's wrong with you? Are you confused? Listen to what you are saying. I must be Zhengzhi's biological father! But didn't I say it before? Mingxia will take care of this matter. I know it will be hard for my daughter, but your parents don't have much ability, so they can only make your daughter suffer. Didn't we say this in private?" Li Sanlang said anxiously.

Zhang sneered. They had indeed said these words in private, but that was only when everyone was law-abiding and "obedient" at that time.

Zhang was actually very proud of her daughter's ability and success. In the beginning, she felt very uncomfortable, thinking that it would be too hard for her daughter to take care of the whole family by herself. But she gradually got used to it.

She thought that as long as the family listened to her daughter, treated her well, didn't cause trouble for her, and made her happy every day, then she would just be raised. After all, the family had no special abilities, so the only one who had such a promising daughter was her.

But now she can't even be obedient and sensible? Does it mean that after working hard all day and earning money, she still has to look at other people's faces? And still have to suffer injustice? Is this reasonable?

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Looking at Li Sanlang's aggrieved yet self-righteous expression, Zhang really wanted to tear off his face to see how thick it was!

"Do you think you have any shame when you say those things?" Zhang looked at Li Sanlang and asked seriously.

Li Mingxia made a silent gesture in his heart: come on, come on, my mother is showing off her power!

Pigeon soup, I will definitely keep an eye on your cooking time!
