Chapter 923: Little Green Tea Li Mingxia
Li Sanlang looked into his eldest son's eyes. For some reason, some of his words seemed to be stuck and he couldn't say them smoothly.
Perhaps after so many things happened, Li Sanlang himself realized that Li Zhengzhi is no longer the "silly son" without self-awareness.
Li Sanlang felt that he shouldn't have said these words, but now he didn't know who to look for, so he could only pin his hopes on his son, who was the easiest to talk to.
"Zhengzhi, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Li Sanlang hesitated, wanting to say it but not wanting to. In fact, he was just waiting for Li Zhengzhi to give him a way out.
But Li Zhengzhi didn't know whether he didn't react or he reacted but didn't want to pay attention. Anyway, he didn't say anything, but he didn't leave either. He just stood there waiting for Li Sanlang to continue.
"Dad wants you to accompany me to the old house. No matter what, those are your grandparents. Even if you don't go, you still have to kowtow to them. When the new bride comes in, you have to go the next day. It's not for dad, but think about it. You are the eldest grandson of the Li family. Is this what you should do? Dad also knows that you are a good child. You would definitely go even if dad didn't tell you. It's unnecessary for dad to remind you of this, right?" Li Sanlang talked on and on, finishing all his words in one breath without even giving Li Zhengzhi a chance to interrupt.
It is obvious that Li Sanlang did not really think that "Li Zhengzhi would do it even if he was reminded differently", but he no longer has the confidence he once had, and his eldest son is still so "sensible and obedient".
"I don't want to." Li Zhengzhi shook his head, interrupting Li Sanlang's self-hypnosis.
Li Sanlang has the right to express what he wants, and Li Zhengzhi also has the right to refuse.
He didn't want to, he didn't want to, he felt that Li Sanlang shouldn't force him.
"Son, how could you..."
"I can. My mother said that I can do whatever I want to do and not do what I don't want to do, as long as I can live with my conscience. Why is it that when it comes to you, Dad, I can't do anything I want to do?" Li Zhengzhi said sternly, without a trace of relaxation on his face.
He just doesn't want to and is unwilling to do so. Is that not okay?
Li Sanlang had no way to refute because he knew that Li Zhengzhi was telling the truth.
If Li Zhengzhi told Zhang today that he wanted to go to the old house, Zhang would agree no matter how reluctant she was.
"Son, just think of this as helping dad, okay? Your mom doesn't let your grandparents come, and dad can't say anything. But if you don't even go, your grandparents will never be able to close their eyes even when they die!" Li Sanlang held Li Zhengzhi's hand and said in a low voice, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
In fact, when Li Zhengzhi heard these words, his first reaction was that whether Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng died and closed their eyes was none of his business.
No one cared when they were hungry, so why should they care about others now? What's the logic behind this?
But when he looked at Li Sanlang's face and remembered how his father had desperately protected him when he fell off the cliff, Li Zhengzhi couldn't say those words anymore.
"It's not that my mother doesn't want them to come, it's that I don't want them to come. Dad, let me think about it. You go first and we can talk about it later. I have a lot of things to do now." Li Zhengzhi thought for a long time and finally spoke.
Li Sanlang nodded. He knew that his son was right. If he continued talking, it would only be a waste of time. It would be better to let his son think about it. Once he had considered it carefully, he believed that Zhengzhi would agree to him.
"Okay, I'll go to the old house first. You don't have to worry about any work. Dad will help you when he comes back." Li Sanlang said with a smile.
Li Zhengzhi looked at Li Sanlang's back. Ever since Li Sanlang injured his leg, his back was not as straight as before.
I remember that when my father was young, he always walked very straight. I don't know when he became like this now. Is it time? Or did one thing after another overwhelm him?
Li Zhengzhi felt a little sad.
Forget it, just go, it’s not a big deal. It’s a good opportunity to tell them that it’s their own decision and it has nothing to do with mom and sister.
Even if you hate someone, don't hate the wrong person.
Li Mingxia and Zhang were standing in front of the window, and naturally saw this scene, but Li Mingxia could hear clearly what they said, but Zhang could not.
"He must have mentioned something to your brother that made him embarrassed. Your father will never learn his lesson!" Zhang said gritting her teeth as she looked at her eldest son's silence.
It can be said that Zhang was the one who knew Li Sanlang best. Although she didn't hear a word, her guess was pretty good.
Li Mingxia smiled. Although he wanted to tell Zhang everything he had just heard, he didn't say a word in the end.
Because she knew that her eldest brother couldn't tell it either.
And Li Sanlang? Whatever he said now, Zhang Shi, who liked to hear it, would listen to it carefully, while those who didn't like it wouldn't listen to a single word!
This is exactly what Li Mingxia wanted, to make Li Sanlang have no status in front of Zhang! In the end, her trust was gone, and her heartache was almost gone. She no longer had to worry about Zhang being at a disadvantage from the people of the old Li family.
What? Are you saying that Li Mingxia and his sister are also from the Li family?
No, in Li Mingxia's heart, they are all Zhang's people.
He is not from the Li family, nor is he from the Zhang family. He is just Zhang’s child.
"Mom, let me help you back to your room. I've picked out a few things. Take a look and see which ones you like. You can give the rest to my sister-in-law." Li Mingxia said to Zhang.
Although she was very angry, how could Zhang be unhappy when she was comforted by her lovely and sensible daughter?
So she happily followed Li Mingxia back to her room, and she didn't forget to remind him, "Keep any good things for yourself. I don't lack anything. Ask your eldest sister-in-law to earn her what she wants. You are a sister-in-law, and everyone should love you. Why would they think about taking things from you every day? That doesn't make sense. I know you are a simple-minded person, and you must be sincere to your family members, but I just hope you can be better to yourself. You are the one who suffers the most in our family, and I feel sorry for you."
Zhang's words came from the heart, and Li Mingxia felt touched and warm when she heard them. She didn't feel hypocritical or awkward at all.
"Mom, I have a lot of good things. I think it's worth giving my sister-in-law a few things that will make her sincere to our family!"
