Chapter 1044 Don’t Take This

After hearing the news, Xu Yajing came back and talked to Li Zhaozhao.

Looking at the gloating look on her face, I don’t know what to say.

"It would be great if your leg was still okay, we could go out and look for him." After mocking those who returned empty-handed, Xu Yajing sighed.

Li Zhaozhao was silent. After all, he still wanted to find the Space Stone. He was gloating over other people's misfortunes, but he was just trying to cover up the disappointment in his heart.

"You can sign up and go out with the guard team to look for it."

"How can that be possible? I am a woman and I have to stay at home to take care of the children."

"My parents and I are at home, and the child is under the care of others."

"But there are no women who go out to look for space stones. It's so painful!"

"Qiao An went there, and brought An An and Nuan Nuan with her."

"Are the three of them ordinary people? Are they comparable?"

"If you don't go, don't mention the Space Stone anymore. My leg won't heal in a while, and even if it does, I may not be able to find it."

Xu Yajing scratched her hair in annoyance. She said so much just to make Li Zhaozhao regain his strength, get better quickly, and go out to find stones.

But after all this talk, how come it became forbidden to mention it? This is really true, she also wanted a storage ring with a large space!

"Lao Li, you..."

"Stop talking. I don't have that ability. If you want the stone, you can only rely on yourself."

"But, don't we still have stuff on that mountain? If we don't have a storage device, we might get targeted when we go out to get stuff. If we have a space ring or a storage bag, we can get the supplies back and hold them firmly in our hands.

"Old Li, think about it carefully, is this true?" Xu Yajing urged.

Li Zhaozhao nodded in agreement with her: "Well, you are right, but my current situation does not allow it."

Xu Yajing was unwilling to give up and asked, "What about my parents?"

Li Zhaozhao looked at her with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

Xu Yajing's fiery heart was poured with a bucket of cold water. She looked at him intently for two minutes, snorted coldly, called her son and left.

Li Zhaozhao stared at the dark cave ceiling in a daze, and once again felt lucky that he had not told Xu Yajing the exact location of the warehouse. He didn't know why, but the two of them were becoming more and more estranged.

Father Li came over and asked worriedly, "Xiao Kai, how about your mother and I..."

"No, Dad, I'm almost well. I'll sign up when I'm well."

"But your legs can't walk for long periods of time."

Li Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, can you help me go to Yanming's house and ask him if he has anything that can speed up the healing of bones. I really don't want to lie down any longer."

Father Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." Then he opened the wooden door of the cave and walked out.

Against the light, Li Zhaozhao felt that his father's body had become more hunched, as if he had lost his vitality.

Li's mother sat down in front of the bed and took a towel to wipe his hands and face. Li Zhaozhao quickly dodged and wanted to take it and wipe it himself, but Li's mother said: "This is all I can do. I can't help you with anything else."

Li Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little sad.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I don't know why she became like this and made you and dad suffer."

"Well, it's okay. Yajing just said something harsh, but she didn't do anything excessive."

"mom......"

"Stop talking, as long as you two are happy. Don't quarrel anymore. If there is anything, just go along with her."

"She's getting more and more arrogant now. If I give in to her, she'll turn the tables. If I had known she would be like this, I shouldn't have married her in the first place."

Mother Li slapped Li Zhaozhao's arm hard and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yajing gave birth to our Li family's eldest grandson, so she is a hero. You can't let her down."

Li Zhaozhao was upset, and tightened his grip on the Space Stone. It seemed that he couldn't even tell his parents, otherwise that woman would definitely know.

Li's mother noticed that he was a little distracted, and she comforted him: "If the child is disobedient, educate him more, and he will change for the better one day. You were very naughty when you were a child, but later on, you became a good person, didn't you?"

Li Zhaozhao said "hmm" absentmindedly, his thoughts drifting far away.

The Shen family of four was caught off guard when they heard the door outside their house being slammed.

Bi Qiaoan hurriedly brought the father and son out, but the four of them were still wearing thin pajamas. They didn't even bother to change, and directly put on dirty cotton jackets and trousers. Shen Yanming also asked in a hoarse voice: "Who is it?"

"I, Zhao Zhao's father!" said Father Li.

"Oh, uncle, wait a moment." After Shen Yanming finished speaking, he had already put on his clothes, but the mother and her two daughters were a little slow.

He quickly arranged the cave, putting in what was needed and taking away what was not needed. The cave instantly became lively.

After the mother and her two daughters were dressed, Shen Yanming went to open the door and invited Father Li in.

Father Li entered the warm cave and couldn't help sneezing. He was a little embarrassed and said with a blushing face: "Sorry, I..."

"It's okay, uncle, please sit down!" Shen Yanming pulled out a chair and asked someone to sit down.

"It's like this..." Father Li didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.

After that, he talked a lot about his son and daughter-in-law.

It felt like he had been holding back his feelings for a long time, and finally had a place to talk about them, so he had to vent.

Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan, and An An Nuan Nuan sat aside and listened quietly. After the person finished speaking, they poured him a cup of hot water.

Father Li held the water cup and sighed: "I don't know how two good people could live like this? Is it because we, the Li family, didn't see the right person?"

Bi Qiaoan was a little unhappy. Why should all the faults be put on women? Before the tsunami came, Xu Yajing was still quite nice.

It changed afterwards, which was also caused by multiple factors. Are you sure it has nothing to do with Li Zhaozhao?

But she didn't say anything, because there was no need. For such matters, they, as outsiders, could only listen, and it was best not to give any suggestions, in order to avoid being blamed in the end.

Perhaps because he felt that the others were too silent, Father Li curled his lips and said awkwardly: "Well, I was just talking, I didn't mean anything else, ah!"

No one knows whether it exists or not.

Father Li finished the water in the cup, and Shen Yanming poured him another cup.

"This water is quite sweet, and tastes better than the water we have over there."

Shen Yanming nodded and didn't respond. Can the things taken out from the space be the same?

But he still comforted Father Li: "The living environment is different now, so it's normal for her temper to change. If Yajing is a softie, you and Auntie might have to worry about it. If there is any problem, you two can always solve it by communicating in time."

It's the same as not saying anything.

Father Li nodded and asked, "Yanming, where do you think I can find the Space Stone?"

Shen Yanming couldn't help laughing: "How would I know that!"

"Aren't you in a hurry?" asked Father Li.

Shen Yanming shook his head, looked him in the eyes and said, "Let it be! If it's meant to be, then it's your turn. If it's not meant to be, then don't force it."
