Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
Usually they think Li Jiakang is just talking.
But since Sun Xiu said this, it was obvious that Li Jiakang was serious about it.
And if Sun Xiu hadn’t said this, no one would have known about it.
Li Jiakang said righteously, "You don't know how mad the Third Brother made me at that time. If it were you, you would have taken action a long time ago."
Li Ping asked curiously, "What did the Third Brother say to make you so angry?"
Li Jiakang's face instantly turned purple, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Sun Xiu waved his hand again, "Don't ask so many questions. If I hadn't held him back, the third brother would have had his legs broken."
"Why don't I remember what I said?" Li Chen didn't know when he had made Li Jiakang so angry. Now he was confused when he heard about it.
Sun Xiu said angrily, "There's a lot you don't remember. Do you remember how many times you were beaten for saying the wrong thing?"
"I don't remember." Li Chen only knew that there were many times. Besides, he was not sick, so why should he remember this?
Li Jiakang glared at him fiercely, but said nothing more.
Sun Xiu waved her hands. "Alright, alright. It's all in the past. Besides, he was beaten pretty hard that time. If you can do this, how can Sister Yang and the others not be anxious?"
"Of course it's urgent." This time Li Jiakang didn't argue, "Let's eat quickly."
Everyone responded and continued eating.
While eating, Li Xu was wondering what Li Chen said that made Li Jiakang want to break his legs?
It would have been fine if I didn’t know, but now that I know about this, I feel really itchy.
I happened to look up and found that Li Ping also looked thoughtful.
Li Xu felt that he should also be thinking about this matter, and he could discuss it with him later.
After dinner was over and the table was cleared, Hu Guilan and Sun Xiu started sewing again, while Li Chen and Li Ju were teasing little Wenbo in the rocking cradle.
Taking advantage of Li Jiakang going to the bathroom, Li Xu hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you remember what Xiaochen said?"
Upon hearing this, several people looked over immediately.
Hu Guilan was even more excited.
Only Sun Xiu had a helpless look on her face. "If your dad hears this, be careful he might get mad and break Xiaochen's legs."
Li Xu chuckled, "It's okay. We didn't fight it then, and it's even more impossible now. Besides, even if it's broken, Doctor Zhou can fix it. I heard he's an expert at setting bones. I'll get some milk powder for the third child, and he'll be fine in a few days."
Sun Xiu and the others laughed at what they said.
"Second brother, you are so nice to me." Li Chen not only did not smile, but he was gritting his teeth. At the same time, he kept looking outside, fearing that Li Jiakang would come back.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid? Big brother, please continue." Li Xu waved his hand.
Li Chen stared at him blankly, then murmured, "You're not afraid, but I am."
It was obvious that Li Ping wasn't afraid either. He frowned and said, "Mom just said that Xiaochen was beaten pretty hard because of this. But he was beaten pretty hard many times before. I've forgotten some of them. I only remember a few times, but they shouldn't have been to this extent."
This is a very serious problem. Li Chen was beaten over several years, and he really can't remember some of it.
Li Xu touched his chin and said, "I've thought about a lot just now, but nothing fits the bill."
After saying this, they both looked at Sun Xiu at the same time.
Sun Xiu sighed when she saw their looks. She knew that if they didn't figure it out, they would definitely pester her frequently. So she just said it directly:
"To put it simply, your dad had a few arguments with the old man a few years ago, and this kid was tactless and kept telling your dad how good the old man was, which finally made your dad angry."
Li Ping hesitated and said, "Mom, this shouldn't reach that level, right?"
"Yeah, that's nothing?" Li Xu followed.
"That's nothing. The key point is that your father got angry and asked this kid if he thought he was unfilial." When Sun Xiu said this, he shook his head, with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at it.
Hu Guilan and the others were stunned.
Needless to say, they could guess what Li Chen’s answer was, otherwise they wouldn’t be so angry.
Li Xu pondered for a moment, "How old was my younger brother at that time? He was not sensible, so it's not worth getting angry about it."
Li Chen on the side also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mom, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it."
"You were only 7 years old at that time. Fortunately you were young, otherwise I would have no excuse to persuade your father. Besides, there are some things you don't know, but the eldest brother knows." Sun Xiu glanced at Li Chen.
Li Ping also smiled bitterly. "It's no exaggeration for my younger brother to have his legs broken this time. What my father hates most is people saying he's unfilial."
Then he started talking about the past.
Only then did everyone realize that Mr. Li and Li Jiakang did not get along, just like Li Jiakang and his sons.
But there is one difference. If Li Jiakang speaks rudely or tries to find fault, Li Ping and Li Xu pretend not to hear him and ignore him.
But Li Jiakang was not like that. He used to have a bad temper and would argue with whatever Mr. Li said.
It can also be said that Mr. Li chose to live with Li Jiafu for this reason...
It would be fine if Li Jiakang didn't have a good life, but he was much better off than Li Jiafu.
In addition, he was the eldest son, so some people in Qinghe Brigade gossiped about him and said he was unfilial, which caused him a lot of trouble.
In the end, it was Mr. Li who came out to explain, and Li Jiakang beat up those gossipers before the matter was over.
But from then on, he couldn't stand others saying he was unfilial.
In fact, any normal person wouldn't be able to stand this, but Li Jiakang's reaction would be more intense...
"I was wondering, when little Wenbo was born last time, I felt that they didn't get along. At that time, I thought it was because of the naming issue, but it turns out that there was a problem all along."
Li Xu recalled the scene at that time and finally realized what was happening. He then asked, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"This isn't something glorious, how could I let you know about it? The old man and his partner would avoid you whenever they quarreled, and the eldest brother only found out about it when he accidentally saw them one time." Sun Xiu said unhappily.
Li Xu thought about it and realized that this kind of thing should be avoided with children, otherwise the children would learn from him and wouldn't they be mad to death?
After knowing the whole story, everyone was no longer itchy and went back to their work.
Li Xu had nothing to do, so he ran to Du Hong's house again.
Only then did I learn that Du Ming and his wife did not agree with Du Feng's unethical suggestion.
They thought that just letting him go hungry for a meal would be enough. Even if he was stupid, he was still their son. How could they do that?
The two of them kept sighing at Du Sen. Now they had given up.
I never thought it wasn't a disease, it was just a lack of mind...
Li Xu had no choice but to keep persuading them and comforting their sad mood.
