Chapter 715: Not convinced? Hit me?
Old Master Li looked at Li Mingxia, and the expression on his face became more loving.
"Mingxia, you know that what grandpa loves most is your father, because your father is a very honest man. You are all good children. It's enough for you to know that your father has had a hard time." Grandpa Li said in a gentle voice.
Although he looked down upon Mr. Li's behavior, Li Mingxia did not want to refute these words.
"There's no rush to talk about my father's affairs, Jin... Haha, no rush. I came here today because of my aunt's affairs. Grandpa, let's get back to the topic." Li Mingxia said lightly.
Li Mingxia didn't think much about it at first, but seeing Mr. Li's look, he found it a little strange.
Logically speaking, the most important thing in the Li family’s old house now is Li Mei’e’s marriage.
But Mr. Li has been mentioning Jin intentionally or unintentionally from the beginning until now. Even when Li Mingxia first expressed that he wanted to talk about Li Mei'e first and put Jin's matter aside, Mr. Li once again brought the topic back.
So Li Mingxia was basically certain that Mr. Li deliberately focused the topic on the Jin family.
Do you think that this will make them dissatisfied with Jin and vent their anger on her, so they don't have to bother with Li Mei'e, and then they can get the fifty taels of silver without any effort?
It was a good idea indeed, but if Li Mingxia knew what Mr. Li meant and still fell for it, then she would be very stupid.
"Grandpa, if you want to deal with the Jin family's affairs today, it's not impossible. But we'll have to deal with my aunt's affairs another day. My brother and I don't have that much time. If we have to postpone it, we don't know when it will be. We don't mind. Just don't delay my aunt's marriage." Li Mingxia said to Grandpa Li with a smile.
Seeing Li Mingxia's expression, Mr. Li knew that she had seen through what he was thinking and knew his plans.
It would be great if this was a boy, it would be a blessing for the Li family.
It’s a pity that no matter how successful Li Mingxia is, she is still a girl and will have to get married in the future.
If she gets married, she is no longer a member of the Li family. What's the point? Why doesn't the third son understand? If the third son and his wife are thinking about Li Zhengde and Li Zhengpin, then Mr. Li can understand it. After all, they are all fathers. It is normal to make plans for their sons. Isn't it the son who should carry on the family line?
But Li Mingxia is just a girl. The more things she has in her hands, the more the Li family will lose when she gets married. They will all be taken to her husband's family!
"What's wrong with you two not having time? Let your parents come! Aren't it the adults who go out to do things? I don't know why you are coming here to show off!" Li Mei'e muttered.
Li Mingxia looked at Mr. Li and tilted his head, as if thinking about what Li Mei'e had just said.
"Why, Master, do you think so too? Do you think that a little girl like me shouldn't be out in the spotlight? Do you think my brother and I are here to show off?"
Old Master Li quickly said, "No, let's not talk about Jin's matter today. I don't have any other intentions. I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand your father. Now I know what you think. It's up to you to talk about this matter or not. I have no objection."
As soon as Mr. Li saw Li Mingxia's expression, he knew that this matter would not succeed. He had to deal with Li Mei'e's matter quickly, otherwise there might be some unexpected changes in a while.
"Okay, since you said so, we definitely have no objection."
"Yes, we all listen to you."
The easy-going manner of Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia made Mr. Li feel uneasy.
If Li Sanlang and Zhang said this, Mr. Li would feel happy because they would definitely not say anything sarcastic and would just say what they meant.
But if it were these two children, Mr. Li would feel that something was a thousand things were wrong.
If Li Sanlang and Zhang can't find a single clever idea in their bodies, then Li Mingxia and Li Zhengde can find three thousand clever ideas in their bodies. Even honeycomb briquettes cannot match their clever ideas!
But what can I say at this time? Can I say that you two have bad intentions? Can I say that you two are not good people at first glance?
Old Master Li was sure that if he really said this, Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia would turn around and leave without saying a word.
"You two sit down first. Let's talk slowly together as a family. Don't leave in a hurry." Old Master Li pointed to the spot on the kang, wanting them to sit down.
Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia sat on the bench on the ground at the same time, with no intention of getting on the kang.
"The ground is cold, sit on the kang for a while." Old Master Li said to the two of them.
Li Zhengde shook his head and said, "No, my sister and I will just sit here."
Mr. Li had just said that casually and didn't care whether the two of them sat down or not. Seeing that Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia had no intention of sitting on the kang, he didn't force them anymore and wanted to skip this topic and talk about Li Mei'e's matter.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengde continued, "Grandpa, you haven't forgotten, have you? My uncle once said that people like us are not worthy of sitting on the kang. It's good enough for us to stand where he is. Hasn't it been like this all these years? Grandpa, you suddenly asked me to sit down, and sit on the kang. I don't know what to say, but forget it. Who knows if my uncle will suddenly rush in and pick me up and throw me out?"
"It doesn't matter if you are thrown out, but you will be guilty of death if you delay my aunt's business. Then you will be the sinner of the Li family. Do you understand?" Li Mingxia said immediately.
Although Li Mingxia had no impression of what Li Dalang said, since Li Zhengde said it, it proved that it must be true.
After all, Li Mingxia knew very well that even if his brother didn't like Li Dalang, he would never spread rumors.
So this Li Dalang has this story? It's really disgusting.
"Okay, brother, we didn't come here to talk about this today, so let's just leave it at that." Li Mingxia was already impatient for what was going to happen next.
"Let's talk about my aunt's matter now. I'm afraid that grandma will scold me for delaying it for so long." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Zheng sat on the kang, like a stone statue, motionless and expressionless.
Li Mingxia knew clearly that Mrs. Zheng must be feeling extremely humiliated, as if she was bowing down to the entire Third House. She must have cursed Zhang and Li Mingxia and Li Sanlang to death in her heart.
