Chapter 142 Who is in Charge of This Family?
"Third brother! Look at your daughter, what is she trying to do? Beat her uncle? How lawless! If this were my daughter, I would have slapped her in the face a long time ago!"
Li Mingxia rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle, I just saw maggots crawling on the table, it was disgusting, I couldn't help but slapped your hand, who would have thought that I would slap your hand, uncle? Tell me what happened, grandpa has always told us not to touch other people's money casually, uncle, you are my grandpa's son, how could you do this?"
Mr. Li is a man who has extremely high expectations of his family members. What Li Dalang did just now made him feel very embarrassed, but Mr. Li also did not like the fact that Li Mingxia and his uncle had a fight.
"Big brother! If you want to help the third brother, you have to divide the tasks! Do what you can. Okay, we are done. Come home with me! Don't cause trouble for the third brother's family." Mr. Li said this, but he didn't move his feet. At this time, as long as Zhang or Li Sanlang came out to persuade them and keep them for dinner, it would seem that nothing happened to outsiders. When he went home at night and closed the door, he would naturally teach Li Dalang a lesson. Wouldn't everything be solved by then? Mr. Li thought so, but he didn't expect that this time he was destined to be disappointed, because both Zhang and Li Sanlang chose to remain silent, and no one came out to smooth things over.
"Hurry up, we are all waiting to eat, we are starving!"
"That's right. We've been working for so many days and are just waiting to get paid. Can you please not delay things?"
"Why is the eldest son of the Li family like this? He is totally different from Sanlang!"
Everyone's words were like knives cutting Grandpa Li's heart, but there was no way out, so Grandpa Li could only pull Li Dalang aside and pay the wages one by one. Li Erlang's wages were also paid in front of Grandpa Li and others, not a penny more or less. Only Zhang Lishan had not received his wages. This was also agreed in advance that Zhang Lishan's wages would be calculated after everyone left.
"Let's go eat. Today we have bone soup, stewed pork ribs, and dried tofu. All you can eat!" Li Sanlang shouted loudly, and the crowd immediately burst into cheers!
"Otherwise, you have to say that the Li family is good at doing things. Let me tell you the truth. I care more about working for the Li family than for myself. Let's not talk about the wages. Just think about the meals they provide. Who in the surrounding villages can compare to them?"
"That's right. If I don't give them a good job, I will feel guilty!"
"Come on, let's go eat. We won't be able to eat here tomorrow. We have to eat more today. Sanlang, please don't feel bad. Hahahaha!"
Such jokes would not be made unless it was someone close to you, so Li Sanlang naturally did not get angry, and immediately said: "Third Uncle, look at what you said, just eat as much as you can, and don't blush!"
Everyone went into the yard to eat, chatting and laughing. Mr. Li wanted to leave, but Li Dalang and Li Zhenghe were a little unhappy.
"Grandpa, isn't this my third uncle's house? What's wrong with us having a meal? Besides, isn't this a gift?" Li Zhenghe smelled the smell of meat coming from the yard and didn't want to move a step.
"That's right, grandpa, others can eat at my third uncle's house, why can't we?" Li Zhengzhan didn't want to leave and started yelling immediately.
"Dad, let's not talk about it. If the third brother has you in his heart, he would come over and let you eat. It's okay if we don't eat, but this is not a matter of eating or not!" Li Dalang didn't say that he was greedy, but only talked about the matter with Old Man Li.
I have to say that Li Dalang is still a little smart and he really understands Mr. Li's psychology.
Mr. Li is not a greedy person, and he does not stay here to take advantage, but Li Dalang's words are indeed what he thinks. He can choose not to eat this meal, but Zhang and Li Erlang, as his daughter-in-law and son, cannot ignore these words.
"Dad! Please come in quickly. Why are you still standing at the door? We are waiting for you to start the meal. How can we eat without you coming to the table?" Zhang and Li Sanlang came out of the yard together and hurriedly walked in front of Mr. Li, as if they didn't see anyone else at all.
The sad expression on Mr. Li's face disappeared instantly, and his waist, which had been bent a little, straightened up.
"Third brother, Dad knows that you are filial, but you have one more person? Don't you understand this principle of dealing with people? Your father is not a big boss, so how could he make everyone in the room wait? Hurry up and eat your meal." Grandpa Li said loudly, looking at Li Sanlang with satisfaction.
No matter what, my third son has his own thoughts in his heart, and my third daughter-in-law is also a good person.
"Dad, please come in and eat with us." Zhang also said.
Li Dalang and the others came over to persuade Mr. Li, "That's right, Dad, since the third brother has said so, let's go in and eat. They are all our family members, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, why be polite?"
"That's not a big deal, Master. I didn't have enough to eat this morning. Third Aunt, if I don't have enough to eat later, can I take some back?" Li Zhenghe knew that Zhang was easy to talk to. She didn't show any shame when she said the shameless words, and it seemed very natural.
Old Master Li let out a long breath and shook his head firmly. "Third brother, Dad just came to see how your house is doing. I'm relieved if it's all in good shape. I had already eaten when I came here this morning. I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead and do your work. Dad will go back first."
Old Master Li glared at Li Dalang, then turned and walked towards the old house. Li Dalang and others were still thinking about the food, but they also knew that since Old Master Li was not here, they had no chance of getting in.
"Third brother, eldest brother hasn't eaten yet. Why don't you pack a few bowls for him to take back?" Li Dalang smiled and actually started asking for food directly.
"Boss, there are rules for whoever invites you to dinner. It's our duty for us to treat dad to a meal. We are peers and we don't owe you anything. Why should we give you food and drinks for free?" Zhang was still unhappy about what Li Dalang said to Zhang Lishan that day. This time, when she had the chance, she didn't give Li Dalang any face and just scolded him back.
Li Dalang snorted, "When did it become your turn as an outsider to speak out about our Li family's affairs? We have a lot of things to do. Third brother, let me ask you, are you still the head of this family?"
