Li Mingxia couldn't understand why these people said such shameless words without blushing or feeling nervous.

When their family is no longer needed, they are "separated", and when they are needed, they are "one family". In other words, Zhang and Li Sanlang are bullied because they are both good-tempered. If they were someone who is not easy to talk to, they would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

"Third brother, Dad is very happy that you can come here today. What does this mean? It means that you still care about us two old people. You still regard this home as your own home and us as one family. Dad is very happy!" Grandpa Li wiped his eyes while speaking, and he seemed to be so emotional that he couldn't control his tears.

Li Mingxia sat down. She knew that today's matter could not be concluded in just a few words. Standing was too tiring.

Li Zhengpin rejected the invitation from Mr. Li and others to sit on the kang and talk, and moved a stool to sit next to Li Mingxia.

"I'll just sit next to my sister."

"Dad, don't say that. You will still be my dad at that time!" Li Sanlang said immediately.

Old Mrs. Zheng's expression looked much better because of Li Sanlang's words. In her opinion, this was Li Sanlang's expression of his attitude towards the "hairpin incident."

"Third brother, you are a man with a conscience. Your father keeps stammering and can't explain clearly, so I'm going to tell you directly." Old Mrs. Zheng cheered up and spoke confidently again.

In Li Mingxia's opinion, this statement is very questionable.

Isn't it because Mr. Li has to have some dignity, but you, Mrs. Zheng, have no dignity at all? That's why you are the only one who can speak about this matter?

Everyone in the room looked at Old Lady Zheng. Old Master Li did not say anything to stop them. Even Li Sanlang pretended to be listening.

"The most promising one in the family is Zhengxue, and everyone knows this." Old Mrs. Zheng looked at her eldest grandson with pride, and then continued: "Old Three, admit it, your two sons, even if added together, are not as good as us in Zhengxue."

Li Mingxia and Li Sanlang frowned at the same time.

Just talk, why bother to talk to others when you have nothing to do?

"My younger brother is young and hasn't been to school yet. I don't know what school will be like after he goes there. As for my older brother, he is only one year younger than my senior brother and he doesn't even know what school is like. We are both grandsons of the Li family, but I don't know where the difference is. As for whether you have a promising future or not, just tell it to yourself. Don't involve my brother or my younger brother." Li Mingxia said coldly.

Li Zhengxue had no reaction at first, no matter whether it was Old Lady Zheng or Old Man Li who spoke, he acted as if he didn't hear anything. But when Li Mingxia spoke, he couldn't help but take a look. He didn't know if it was because he was hit too hard by the broom in the morning, but Li Zhengxue began to feel a dull pain in his back again.

Old Madam Zheng glared at him, and just as she was about to curse, she heard Li Mingxia add indifferently, "My words are not pleasant to the ears. If you don't like what I say, we can go home."

Old Mrs. Zheng swallowed the words she couldn't say. If Li Mingxia and Li Sanlang left today, this matter would not be accomplished!

I'll bear with you for now, and when I'm done, you'll be in trouble! Old Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and thought secretly.

"Third brother, tell me something. Do you care about your eldest nephew's affairs?" After saying so many nice things patiently, Old Mrs. Zheng finally got to the point.

The nephew was naturally referring to Li Zhengxue. Li Sanlang was shocked by his words. He instinctively glanced at Li Zhengxue who was sitting upright and said, "Mom, I'm just a farmer. I don't know anything about studying. How can I help you?"

"You can't help with anything else, so just pay the money, right, brother?" Jin laughed and looked at Li Dalang, as if she had said something humorous.

Li Dalang was very happy and said with great confidence: "Need I say more? How can I not know what kind of person my third brother is? As for the matter of ten taels of silver, it's nothing more than a little slip of the fingers, right, third brother?"

Ten taels of silver?

Li Mingxia glanced at Li Dalang, and then at Jin who was helping him with all her might. He thought that Li Zhengxue's matter should not cost ten taels of silver. He guessed that Li Dalang must have given Jin some benefits. Otherwise, according to Jin's personality, she had just had a conflict with Hua yesterday, so how could she help the people in the first house today? No matter how much Li Dalang promised Jin, it was hard to say whether Mr. Li knew about this matter.

Li Mingxia didn't speak immediately. She wanted to hear how Li Sanlang would answer.

When Li Sanlang heard about the ten taels of silver, his eyes widened in surprise. Where did he get the ten taels of silver? If his daughter wanted to eat meat, he had to go to the town to sell firewood. Even Zhang could only spend two taels of silver a month, and this was the family's common "grocery money". Even if he gave it all to the old house against his conscience, it would still not be enough!

Why did my mother ask him for so much money right away?

"Ten taels of silver? Mother, I'm not worth that much money even if you sell me!" Li Sanlang couldn't help but said timidly.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyebrows stood up!

"Third brother! You don't have ten taels of silver? Are you kidding me? Do you think we don't know that your family is doing business at the dock? You have money to buy things for your wife and children, and this is a lifelong event for your eldest nephew! You can spend a lot of money on outsiders who lose money, but this is the foundation of our Li family! Don't you care?" Old Mrs. Zheng cursed, her gray hair fluttering everywhere as she stretched out and retracted her body, looking funny and ridiculous.

"I'm telling you, Third Brother! If you don't take care of your eldest nephew, even if you die, you will be too ashamed to see our Li family's ancestors in the underworld!" While speaking, Old Mrs. Zheng slapped her face with her hands, as if to humiliate Li Sanlang.

How could Li Sanlang withstand such a beating? He was so frightened that he jumped up from the kang.

Old Madam Zheng was still increasing her firepower. "You are such an ungrateful beast. Even if you die, you can't enter our Li family's cemetery! When the time comes, you'll be buried in a tattered mat and no one will know whose dog you are!"

This was too serious. Who in this dynasty would not care about whether or not to be included in the family tree or buried in the ancestral tomb? This was much more serious than beating up Li Sanlang.
