Chapter 227 Begging
Seeing Li Mingxia like this, Zhang stopped asking, but she still looked a little nervous.
Li Mingxia thought of the prepared food and quickly asked his eldest brother to bring it in.
"Mom, are you hungry? The doctor said that you can eat whatever you want. Think about it and see if there is anything you like to eat. I have nothing to do these two days anyway, so I will make it for you." Li Mingxia served Zhang a bowl of chicken soup. The freshly boiled chicken soup was too hot, so he didn't dare to feed it to Zhang directly. Li Mingxia was blowing it slowly.
"Brother, you guys eat first. I'll feed Mom some soup and meat. I'm not hungry now anyway. I'll eat after Mom finishes eating." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengpin.
Li Zhengpin felt a little distressed when he saw Li Mingxia busy cooking and taking care of Zhang.
"Little sister, I'm not hungry. You eat first. After you finish eating, I'll be hungry too, and then I'll eat." After Li Zhengpin served the rice, he put it aside and wanted to take the bowl of chicken soup from Li Mingxia's hand, but Li Mingxia dodged him.
"Brother, you should eat well when I tell you to. Mom is weak now, and feeding her rice and soup are delicate jobs. I don't feel safe if you do it. It won't take a while anyway. After mom finishes eating, I can eat too, right?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.
Li Zhengpin was still a little hesitant and was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Li Mingxia glanced at the door somewhat unhappily.
When Li Mingxia handed the two hundred coins to Old Lady Zheng, she had already said that the house would be used by their family for the next few days and they didn't want anyone to disturb them when there was nothing to do. Doesn't Old Lady Zheng understand what he's saying?
The ones who came in were Old Lady Zheng and Li Dalang. When Li Dalang saw the spare ribs, chicken soup, white rice and fried vegetables on the table, his eyes widened.
"My eldest niece is really good at cooking. No matter what she cooks, it smells so delicious. Just looking at it makes people want to have a bite. It's impossible not to admit it. It's really like that." While saying this, Li Dalang also exaggeratedly raised his thumb to express his admiration for Li Mingxia.
But Li Mingxia was not interested in such compliments and words. She even felt they were hypocritical and offensive to her ears. She did not respond but lowered her head and concentrated on fiddling with the chicken soup in her hand.
When Mrs. Zheng saw that Li Mingxia didn't say anything, her face darkened and she stared at Li Sanlang fiercely.
Every time at this time, Li Sanlang would show a cleverness that was completely different from his usual dullness.
"Mom, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
With Li Sanlang's words as a prelude, Li Dalang and Old Lady Zheng felt less embarrassed.
"Come and see if your wife has woken up and is doing well. You don't even know what's wrong with your mother. She cares about us sons and daughters-in-law the most." Li Dalang said without hesitation.
Li Mingxia felt incredible after hearing this. Is this something a normal person can say? Is this the highest level of lying with open eyes?
But no matter what, it was very obvious that Old Mrs. Zheng was very satisfied with these words. She looked at Li Dalang and nodded slightly, but she didn't even look at Zhang, who they said they would come to visit.
Li Mingxia saw that their eyes were fixed on the table. Even with a strand of hair, he could tell what they were here for, but Li Mingxia was not going to pay any attention to them.
I have already given them 200 coins. Do I still have to provide them with food? You can't be so shameless, right?
Li Mingxia saw it, Li Sanlang saw it, and Li Zhengpin naturally saw it as well.
"Third brother, you had a very good meal tonight." Mrs. Zheng sneered as she saw Sanlang Li looking back and forth between her and the table several times.
If Li Sanlang still can't understand what Old Mrs. Zheng is thinking at this time, then he has been a good son to his mother for so many years in vain.
"There's just so little food, who will eat it? Brother, I'll eat less, otherwise my sister will have nothing to eat soon. And no one really cares about my sister. If I eat less, my sister will eat more." Li Zhengde took a look at the mountain of ribs on the plate and said indifferently.
Li Zhengpin certainly understood what his brother meant, and immediately said, "It's only because our Zhengde is sensible. If it were someone else, they wouldn't necessarily let go of such delicious food. But you're right, your sister has been busy all day, running around, so if you eat less, I'll eat less too. No matter what, you have to let your sister have something to eat, right?"
It was not known whether this incident had made Li Zhengde and Li Zhengpin too angry. The two brothers spoke in a more sarcastic and unpleasant tone than the other. Li Mingxia even wanted to laugh when listening to them.
No matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Zheng is, she can't just ask her grandchildren to snatch food from them, right?
Her original plan was to come in and see Zhang, and then just in time to catch Li Sanlang and the others having dinner. As long as she stayed a little longer, Li Sanlang would definitely ask to eat together. If she then simply refused, Li Sanlang would probably ask her to serve some dishes for her to take back. Even if she didn't dare to ask at that time, didn't she still have Li Dalang?
But who would have thought that when Li Sanlang was about to speak, he was interrupted by the two brothers Li Zhengde and Li Zhengpin. What could she say? Could she say that a girl like Li Mingxia was worthy of eating meat? If it was the previous Li Mingxia, she could say so, but the current Li Mingxia, she didn't dare.
But looking at the ribs on the table, Mrs. Zheng felt really unwilling to just leave like that, so she secretly gave Li Dalang a wink.
Li Dalang had this intention in mind, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Zheng's gesture, he immediately showed his shameless spirit.
"Third brother, I have never eaten the dishes cooked by your sister Xia. Can you give me some of the pork ribs and chicken soup? I will take them back to try them and also let our parents have them. Is that okay?" Li Dalang said with a smile.
He was sure that Li Sanlang would not refuse him. After all, it was just a few pieces of meat and a few sips of soup. After all, he was Li Sanlang's elder brother. If he made a request just for this delicious food, how could Li Sanlang have the nerve to say no?
Li Zhengde frowned. Although he had made sarcastic remarks today, he was still young after all. He was not good at dealing with such ruffians and hooligans, so he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Li Mingxia, who was sitting on the kang, saw it clearly and glanced at Li Sanlang.
