Li Shun listened with a smile. He was neither angry nor touched.
Aunt Li looked up at her son, hoping that Li Shun would give her some reaction.
Seeing that his mother was silent, Li Shun looked at his father.
“Father, what did you come here to say?” Li Shun asked.
They had lived together for so long, so they knew each other’s personalities very well.
Although his mother was the one who caused trouble every time, the person behind it was actually his father, Sr. Li.
Therefore, Li Shun asked directly to see what he had to say.
Sr. Li didn’t expect his third son, who had always been subservient, to dare to ask for his opinion directly.
“I had no choice but to do that back then. I know that marrying your family off wasn’t kind. I’ve realized my mistake, so I came today to reconcile with you. I know that it’s only right for you not to forgive us. It’s just that your mother and I are already so old. We probably don’t have much time left. While we’re still breathing, I hope we can see a family reunion!” Sr. Li said.
It had to be said that the older the wiser!
Sr. Li’s words were much more compelling than Aunt Li’s!
In the past, Li Shun might have relented and returned to the Li family.
Unfortunately, the current Li Shun had already been reborn. He was no longer the subservient person who was controlled by the Li family.
After Li Shun heard Sr. Li’s words, he said with hatred, “Since you guys know that you’ve let me down back then, you should also know how deeply hurt I
was.”
With that, Li Shun looked at Aunt Li.
“Mother, you said that for my own good, you let us marry into the Luo family. Since everything you’ve done is for our own good, let my eldest brother and second brother leave the family as well. Don’t give them anything and let them fend for themselves! As long as you two do this, I’ll reconcile with you two and we’ll still be a family in the future!”
With that, Li Shun looked at Sr. Li.
“As parents, you two can’t be biased. We have to let my eldest brother and second brother experience what I’ve experienced! Otherwise, I really find it
difficult to believe that you two did so for my own good!”
Sr. Li and Aunt Li were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their obedient son was gone. Now, their son was no longer easy to fool.
Li Shun acted as if he didn’t see the old couple’s ugly expressions. At this moment, he said directly, “Father, Mother, human hearts are made of flesh. You stabbed my heart with a knife first. There’s no reason for me to fall for your words anymore! Father and Mother, go back and consider it! As long as you’re willing to give nothing to my eldest brother and second brother and let their families leave with nothing, I’ll definitely keep my word and reconcile with the family!”
Sr. Li realized that his son wasn’t easy to deal with, so he stood up without saying anything and turned to leave.
Seeing that her husband had left, Aunt Li was naturally unwilling to stay any longer.
However, when she saw such a good house, she couldn’t resist the urge to ask for something.
“Your father and I haven’t eaten meat in months. Why don’t you give us some meat?!” Aunt Li begged.
“Mother, do you know what I am? I came here as a dowry. Not a single needle or thread here is mine. It belongs to my son-in-law, Luo Cheng. I have no right to give away my son-in-law’s things.” Li Shun said with red eyes, “If you don’t understand what being dowry means, why don’t you also marry over and live in the Pei family’s house where your good granddaughter, Li Yan, married off into? See how it feels!”
When Aunt Li saw Li Shun’s red eyes, she clenched her fists tightly and quickly slipped out.
“Don’t be angry. I’ll go back and persuade your father now!”
With that, Aunt Li ran away, since she was afraid that Li Shun would suddenly lose his temper and hit her.
After they left, Li Shun sat down and sneered. Then, he finished the tea and went out to work again.
Zi Cheng, who was in charge of taking care of the family, saw what happened in the courtyard and sent the news to Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran had just returned from buying things and were drinking tea when they saw Zi Zheng bring the letter over.
After reading the letter, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. “I really didn’t expect Father-in-law to really stand up to them this time!”
With that, Luo Cheng handed the letter to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran took the letter in surprise and read the content.
“How shocking! But this is good too. As long as my father remains this clear-headed, we won’t have to be afraid of the Li family!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately amused.
“Actually, you should trust him more. I think that he has changed a lot in the past few months!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Of course I believe my father, but I’m more curious about the Li family’s next move. Do you think my grandpa and grandma will pretend to leave my eldest uncle and second uncle with nothing in order to reconcile with us?”
Luo Cheng thought about it carefully and said, “It’s not impossible! Besides, your eldest uncle and second uncle can’t wait to leave those two old farts!”
“In that case, doesn’t my father’s request fulfill my eldest uncle and second uncle’s wishes?” Li Xiaoran sneered when she heard this.
“Don’t worry, they won’t get what they want! If things really go as we guessed, I have plenty of ways to make them poor!” Luo Cheng comforted Li Xiaoran.
“No, I just don’t want my grandpa and grandma to live with my parents! It wasn’t easy for my mother to start living a good life. I don’t want them to ruin her life again!” Li Xiaoran said.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he thought of another way.
“Actually it’s very easy to deal with your grandpa and grandma! Just start with your eldest uncle and second uncle! As long as your eldest uncle and second uncle don’t leave, your grandfather and grandmother naturally won’t be able to reconcile with your parents!”
“Let’s wait for a while! After we buy the things, I’ll go home and personally ask my father what he’s up to!” Li Xiaoran decided to wait until they returned.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else.
At the same time, Zhao Xiu also heard from Li Shun about the meeting with Sr. Li and Aunt Li in the afternoon.
Zhao Xiu asked with disapproval, “Have you ever thought about what would happen if your parents really kicked your eldest brother and second brother out?”
