Chapter 316: Treat Everyone Equally

The first person to notice it was Ji Yuanyuan.

In fact, if she thought about it carefully, she could understand why her aunt was depressed.

My aunt is a new bride and she just gave birth to a baby, but now everyone's attention is attracted to Aunt Xiaomin, so my aunt can't help feeling neglected.

not to mention……

The weddings of my eldest uncle and my second uncle were held less than a year apart.

However, neither the scale of the wedding nor the price of the wedding house are on the same level.

The most important thing is that the new house bought by my second uncle is still in Aunt Xiaomin’s name.

If she were my aunt, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

My aunt might think: Is it because her family has no money that she has to be inferior to others in everything?

Ji Yuanyuan walked forward and sat next to Meng Xiaoning, talking to her from time to time so that she wouldn't feel completely left out.

Meng Xiaoning liked her niece very much, so she felt much better.

Especially seeing that Ji Ziang liked to think about it so much, her heart felt a lot warmer.

Although Ji Zixuan was not as enthusiastic as Ji Ziang, his eyes were always fixed on Li Xiang.

The group discussed until around eleven o'clock in the morning before stopping.

Li Xu didn't want to stay for dinner and wanted to go back to eat.

Zhang Kun is the only one running the store. If his mother doesn't go back, he will definitely have to make do with what he has.

Li Xu pulled Ji Yuanyuan to sit on the edge of the kang, and while putting shoes on her, he said, "Let's not eat here. I'll take over for Zhang Kun when we get back. The store's business is busier on Saturdays and weekends, and he must be exhausted all by himself."

Seeing that Li Xu insisted on going back, Liu Guihua didn't keep her.

As if she had thought of something, she slapped her thigh and walked back: "Wait, don't go yet!"

She returned to the kitchen and quickly took out a large plastic bag: "These are the mushrooms your father and his friends picked in the back mountain a few days ago. They got quite a lot. We can't eat them all at home, so you can take them back and eat them."

Li Xu had already come to the yard with the child. Seeing this, he declined: "Forget it, there are many people at home, you can keep it for yourself!"

Liu Guihua put some in her car and said, "Take some and eat them. There are more at home. This stuff is nutritious. Give it to the children."

While Li Xu and Liu Guihua were arguing, Ji Yuanyuan quietly came to Li Zhiming and waved at him: "Grandpa, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Li Zhiming smiled and bent over, putting his ear close to Ji Yuanyuan's mouth: "What secrets do you want to tell grandpa? Grandpa is listening!"

Ji Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe and talked in Li Zhiming's ear for a long time.

Li Zhiming's expression became more and more serious.

After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Li Zhiming frowned and said, "Grandpa knows. You are a child, so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Grandpa will solve it."

Although his expression was serious, he still reached out and touched Ji Yuanyuan's head.

Li Xu looked at him, and although he was a little curious, he didn't ask.

She called Ji Yuanyuan: "Let's go, we should go back."

Ji Yuanyuan hurried to Li Xu's side, and with the help of Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang, climbed into the tricycle.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang, one on each side, pushed the tricycle and walked out of the Li family.

After they walked away, Li Xu asked tentatively: "Yuanyuan, what did you say to grandpa just now?"

Ji Yuanyuan said tactfully: "I just saw that my aunt seemed a little unhappy and didn't pay much attention to my uncle. Maybe they had a quarrel. I asked grandpa to pay attention and criticize my uncle if they really had a quarrel!"

Just like grandpa said, she is a little kid.

This was the only way she could remind her grandfather and mother in a tactful way.

They are all smart people, and they were so happy before that they didn't notice anything unusual about their aunt.

After she reminded them, she believed that both grandpa and mom would come to their senses.

Sure enough, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Li Xu didn't speak for a long time.

…

At the Li family's house, Li Yong turned around and headed for the kitchen: "What are we going to eat for lunch? Think about it, is there anything you want to eat?"

Li Zhiming called out to him: "Xiaoyong, come here, I have something to say!"

Li Yong walked from the kitchen into the house with some suspicion, and Li Lei followed curiously.

Li Zhiming walked to the cabinet and took out a homework book from it.

He put the notebook on the kang. On the cover of the notebook, there were three crooked words "Ji Ziang" written on it.

Obviously, this notebook was the homework book that Ji Ziang used when he was a child.

Li Zhiming opened the book, looked around, and said, "While you are all here, let me tell you something."

Liu Guihua was standing nearby, looking at her old man with a somewhat surprised expression.

Why are you taking out the account book for no reason?

"Before you two got married, we were one family. Now that you are married, we are three families. You two are both my sons, and your mother and I must treat you equally!"

Li Zhiming turned to a certain page and stopped: "Let's not count the small money, just the big money. I have recorded all the big money spent at home in this notebook."

He looked at Li Lei: "Xiao Lei is less troublesome and didn't cost the family much money."

Hearing this, Li Yong looked a little embarrassed.

He raised his hand and touched his nose, then chuckled.

"We paid for the construction of the house in the village, and we paid for the betrothal gift and the wedding. Other than that, we didn't spend any money from our family. The house in the city was also bought with Xiaolei's restoration fee."

Listening to Li Zhiming's words, Meng Xiaoning's expression was very calm.

Li Lei said, "Dad, why are you saying this for no reason?"

Li Zhiming did not answer Li Lei's words, but just looked at Li Yong: "Xiaoyong, you spend more money than your brother. Your mother and I paid for the down payment of your villa. As for the loan of the villa, your mother and I will try our best to help you pay it back. If we can't help you pay it back, don't blame us!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yong hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Can I really give you a loan? We will definitely pay back the loan ourselves. I will also pay back the money I borrowed from you and my big brother and big sister as soon as possible!"

"And your wedding must have cost more than your brother's. There's nothing we can do about it. Xiao Min's belly is so big now, we can't wait any longer."

Meng Xiaoning knew that her father-in-law's words were probably meant for her.

She forced a smile and said, "Dad, we are all family, there is no need to settle accounts so clearly. Li Lei and Li Yong are brothers. As the saying goes, brothers fight together and fathers and sons fight together. Brothers should help each other. It doesn't matter who has more or less."

Hearing this, Li Lei looked at his wife with satisfaction.

It's rare that my wife is so sensible and doesn't fight or argue.
