Chapter 1045 Can Li Mingxia still afford a restaurant?
"Third brother, what does the restaurant owned by our daughter Mingxia look like? I heard it's quite grand. Can it accommodate ten or eight tables?" Old Master Li talked to Li Sanlang as they walked.
In the past, Mr. Li had heard people in the village talk about Li Mingxia's "restaurant," saying it was particularly grand and large. But Mr. Li wondered how big it could get. Ten tables would probably be the limit, right?
This isn't a village where you can buy as much land as you want because land is worthless. This is a town where houses are very expensive!
"Is that restaurant in Mingxia a rented house?" Mr. Li did not hear Li Sanlang's answer and continued talking to himself.
Li Sanlang shook his head. "Mingxia bought that restaurant. It cost him a lot of money."
When Mr. Li heard what Li Sanlang said, he became more certain that the place must not be big, and there might not even be ten tables.
The children of the third family are also willing to brag about the fact that they own a restaurant.
Old Master Li didn't like this kind of impractical person, but when he thought that these things happened to the children of the third room, he felt secretly happy.
What Grandpa Li heard the most during this year was how great and promising the children in the third room were. Now that he knew these children also had some minor problems, Grandpa Li felt much more at ease.
"Mingxia is a capable child. He can even buy a house in the town, but it is definitely not comparable to our village. If his own house can set up five or six tables, wouldn't he be able to make money? That would be pretty good! He has a bright future!" Grandpa Li said with a smile.
When talking about Li Mingxia's "restaurant", the smile in his tone became much more sincere.
Li Sanlang shook his head, as if he wanted to explain, but when he thought about how they were about to arrive at the restaurant, no matter how much he said, it wouldn't feel as real as if he saw it with his own eyes, right?
Anyway, the restaurant is right in front of us, it won’t run away or collapse.
"Dad, you're right." Li Sanlang nodded obediently and said a few words in a very supportive manner.
Old Master Li felt very pleased to see Li Sanlang like this. See, he is still his own son. He says whatever he wants without exaggeration or boasting.
When it comes to educating children, both Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng think they are very good at it, including for Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue. Mr. Li doesn't think there is something wrong with his education. Instead, he thinks it is Mrs. Zheng who is meddling and influencing Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue. If he had been the only one disciplining Li Dalang and Li Zhengxue from beginning to end, how could such a thing happen?
Of course, Mrs. Zheng also has her own reasons.
Anyway, neither of them thinks it’s their problem.
"Third brother, haven't you arrived yet?"
After Mr. Li walked away for a while, he asked Li Sanlang.
"We're almost there, Dad." Li Sanlang had already seen the restaurant and was about to point it out to Mr. Li when he was interrupted by Li Dalang's mocking voice.
"Are we almost there? This is the best location in town. Even if you sell all your family assets, you still can't afford a house here. Third brother, why are you so good at bragging now?" Li Dalang chuckled twice and looked at Li Sanlang with disdain in his eyes.
He doesn't think Li Mingxia can afford to buy a house here!
Even if the small workshop makes money, how much more can it earn? Can't you buy a house here without thousands of taels of silver?
Just Li Mingxia? Let him struggle for another hundred years!
Li Sanlang didn't know how much the house here cost, so he didn't know how to refute Li Dalang's words, but he knew that his daughter's restaurant was about to arrive.
"Brother, if you want to come with me, then don't say anything. I heard you keep complaining about a headache. If you don't like this or that, then don't follow me. I'm just worried about dad. Whether you come or not, I don't care about your affairs." Li Sanlang turned his head to look at Li Dalang and said impatiently.
Li Dalang was stunned, not quite understanding what Li Sanlang meant. Wasn't everything fine just now? Why did it suddenly become like this again?
Li Sanlang looked at Li Dalang with his mouth wide open in indignation and became even more impatient.
"I'm doing this for dad's sake. Otherwise, whether you eat or not, whether you come home or not has nothing to do with me. Do I need to explain in detail what you did to your second brother? Don't you know what's going on? I have a good temper, I'm not a fool. It's my duty to respect dad, but why should I respect you?" Li Sanlang supported Grandpa Li steadily and said bluntly.
Mr. Li's body became a little stiff, and the smile on his face became increasingly faint.
Li Sanlang didn't feel it. He even thought that he was doing it for the good of Mr. Li. He felt that he was supporting Mr. Li and letting Li Dalang know that he had a little face in front of him because of Mr. Li. If he was not good to Mr. Li, then he would have no face in front of him at all in the future.
No one knows whether Mr. Li felt Li Sanlang's kindness. Maybe he did, but Mr. Li did not think that his third son was a rare filial and good son. Instead, he felt more unhappy and uncomfortable than Li Dalang.
Because in Mr. Li's heart, Li Dalang is his most important son. Nothing is more important than his son. He hopes that Li Sanlang can put the same care and respect on Li Dalang as he does on himself.
Now, although Li Sanlang is very respectful to him, as long as he sees his attitude towards Li Dalang, Mr. Li feels uncomfortable all over!
Doesn’t Li Sanlang know that Li Dalang is the eldest son of the Li family and the respected elder brother he should respect?
Even if Li Dalang did something unbecoming, wasn't it ultimately a family matter? Family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public, so what was there to be done about family matters?
Moreover, if outsiders asked about these things, we would have to help conceal them. Can we really make our family affairs public?
How does that saying go? Prosperity is shared by all, adversity is shared by all. How come the third brother still doesn't understand this truth after all these years?
Thinking of this, Mr. Li felt more and more that his eldest son was very sensible.
Old Master Li still remembers that when he once told Li Dalang to work hard and make progress, and that he would hand over the Li family to him in the future, Li Dalang agreed without hesitation.
Otherwise, why do people say that the most important person in a family is the eldest son?
Whether it's vision or sense of responsibility, they're the best! How can anyone compare? There's no way!
