Now Li Xu regrets it very much.

I should have asked one more question yesterday.

If Li Chen knew the whole story, he would definitely be angry with him.

Li Jiakang also felt some regret.

Du Sen didn't deserve a beating for playing in the snow, so the blow this time seemed too severe.

The Du family was a little scratching their heads. They really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

So Du Ming asked, "Brother Li, what do you think about this?"

Although Li Jiakang felt regretful in his heart, he did not show it outwardly.

After thinking for a moment, he responded, "Now that I know Xiaosen wasn't beaten because of my third child, I feel much better. Let's end the matter here."

"What about your Xiaochen?"

"He's fine. I was planning to beat him after he recovered from his illness. It's good to do it in advance. Otherwise, if he waits until the New Year to recover from his illness, it will be unlucky to get beaten then." Li Jiakang laughed as he spoke.

Li Xu gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

That's really beautifully said.

Everyone in the Du family also started laughing.

After chatting for a while, Li Xu and the other person said goodbye and left.

After walking a short distance, Li Jiakang said angrily, "Look at you, what have you done? Can't you figure this out first?"

"I didn't expect that. I didn't ask much yesterday, so I thought Xiaosen was beaten for playing in the snow."

"Then what are we going to say about this when we get back?"

Li Xu spread his hands and said, "What else can I say? I can't hide this, so I'll just tell the truth."

"Aren't you afraid that the third brother will get angry with you?"

After Li Xu thought of this possibility, he has been thinking about the solution.

And he actually figured it out, "At worst, I can give him a can of powdered milk tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll add some snacks. If that still doesn't work, I'll add more. I'll always be able to make him give in."

Li Chen has always been a greedy kid.

As long as you are willing to pay for some food, nine times out of ten there will be no problem.

If there is still something left, it means that what we have given is definitely not enough.

It doesn't matter, he can always be satisfied.

Besides, it was my fault that he suffered so much this time.

It's only right to spend something.

Li Jiakang was immediately shocked by his arrogant words.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this operation is very feasible.

So he sighed, "You are amazing. You can even think of such a method."

Li Xu grinned, "Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you have weaknesses, things will be much easier."

Hearing this, Li Jiakang turned his head and glanced at him, then said dimly, "Be careful in the future, kid, and don't get involved in those messy things. If you do, we won't have you in our Li family anymore."

Li Xu: ...

"What are you saying? Do you really distrust my character?" Li Xu said unhappily, and then asked, "How are you going to compensate the Third Brother this time?"

"You have the ability and understanding, but I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself, so I'm giving you a heads up." Li Jiakang continued without hesitation, "I'll compensate him? That's ridiculous! How can a father compensate his son? Besides, he was bound to get a beating sooner or later. Even though it was a bit severe, it's not a big deal. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Don't think that he regretted being a little too harsh this time.

But it is limited to regret.

As for other things, I never thought about it at all.

Li Xu shook his head. "What I want to say is not that he was too harsh, but that you shouldn't call him a coward."

This is what a father does when he scolds his son.

If it were to happen outside, these two words might even result in a death.

When he heard this before, he felt it was inappropriate.

After all, this was their problem, and they had never asked Li Chen before.

But Li Jiakang was fighting hard at that time, so he endured it and didn't say anything.

I want to wait a day to talk to you about this.

But now I want to compensate Li Chen, so I might as well do it together.

Only then did he tell the truth.

Li Jiakang was a little confused. "Your grandfather used to scold me and your second uncle like this all the time. Besides, many people scold their children much more harshly nowadays. What's the problem with this?"

That is true.

Nowadays, when elders scold children, they dare to say anything.

So Sun Xiu and the others didn’t think there was anything wrong with this before.

Li Xu explained, "That's different. When you and Second Uncle were scolded, wasn't it because you did something wrong? But we didn't ask Third Brother clearly about this matter, so it's not his fault. Besides, this kid was beaten so hard by you, and he still gritted his teeth and refuted. Do you think he can be satisfied with you?"

Li Jiakang nodded unconsciously. "You know what? Although this kid seems easy to deal with, he can be quite stubborn sometimes. It's up to me. I'll discuss it with your mother when I get back."

Good job.

You really know yourself well enough.

Don’t be fooled by Li Jiakang’s bad temper, he is prone to violence and abusive behavior.

But it's actually very easy to deal with.

Sometimes when a donkey gets angry, it can make people feel very uncomfortable.

That's why he felt that what Li Xu said made sense.

Because he knew how long a person with this kind of personality could last when he got stubborn...

After arriving home.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, the two of them told the story directly.

After hearing what happened, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Then Li Xu repeated his solution.

Everyone agreed that this trick should be very effective.

Li Jiakang also roughly repeated what Li Xu said and asked Sun Xiu for his opinion.

Sun Xiu thought it made sense.

So it was decided that Li Xu would take over the housework for the next few days as a punishment for him.

Li Jiakang needs to apologize.

Li Xu readily agreed, but Li Jiakang was very dissatisfied. "Just stop the third child from doing housework. Why do you want me, as his father, to apologize to him? If this gets out, won't everyone laugh at me?"

"Even if it's a slap in the face followed by a sweet date, at least the date should be sweet, right? There aren't many chores in our house. If you were the third child, would you be happy with such a simple solution? Besides, you were wrong, and it's not shameful for a father to apologize to his child. Even if it gets out, people will praise you for being sensible, right, big brother?"

How can this be considered an apology to the third brother?

This is clearly a fight for the rights of their children.

Li Ping naturally said that his mother was right.

Li Jiakang glared at Li Ping, then stiffened his neck and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even if I have to apologize, I can't be the only one going."

"You want Xiaoxu to go with you?"

Li Xu immediately stated, "I have no problem. If I make a mistake, I will definitely admit it."

"It's not him." Li Jiakang looked at Sun Xiu, "You have to go with me."

Everyone looked at him in amazement.

Are you giving up? Have you had enough of the good life?

Only his good daughter Li Mei still wanted to help him, "Dad, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with Mom?"

Unfortunately, Li Jiakang didn't appreciate it. Instead, he said confidently, "Why is it okay? It was your mother who gave the signal to beat the third child."
