"Okay, Dad, since Mom doesn't want to talk, don't force her. There's no need to take it out on the third child."

Then Li Xu walked over to Li Ju, touched her little head, and asked softly, "Little sister, you weren't scared just now, were you?"

He didn't know whether Li Chen had noticed it, but he was sure that Li Ju had.

So I was worried that Li Ju would think that these words were directed at her and would feel bad because of it, so I spoke out to persuade her.

Li Ping also reacted and said with a hint of blame, "Dad, you really are such a fool. This is not a big deal. Why are you so excited?"

Li Jiakang showed an embarrassed expression, rubbing his two big hands together, "Daughter, Dad was just joking with your third brother, don't take it seriously."

Li Chen: ...

When you scolded me just now, it didn't sound like you were joking at all.

Hearing this, Li Ju forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing her like this, everyone said to themselves, it's over.

Sun Xiu was so angry that she stuffed Li Wenbai into Li Ping's hands, then walked up to Li Jiakang and twisted the soft flesh around his waist fiercely, saying viciously, "Old man, I'll settle the score with you when we get back to the house."

Then she let go of her hand, walked to Li Ju, squatted down and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if she hadn't been comforted, but after this comfort, Li Ju immediately threw herself into Sun Xiu's arms and burst into tears.

The Li Xu brothers' faces were as dark as black, and they took turns blaming Li Jiakang.

Even Hu Guilan, who never got involved in such matters, couldn't help but say a few words.

Li Jiakang didn't say a word, as if he was willing to be criticized.

Seeing this, Li Xu and Li Ju stopped talking after a while and felt that it was boring. Then they walked to Li Ju and comforted her.

After a while, Li Ju stopped crying after being comforted by everyone. She choked up and said, "Mom, I didn't lie... I lied to you. I thought you were joking."

In fact, things like this have happened many times in the Li family. When both parties insist on their own opinions, they will ask others which side they stand on.

But no matter what the result is, everyone just laughs it off and never takes it seriously.

So every time this happens, everyone chooses based on their preferences and stands on whichever side they want.

Li Ju thought so just now, so she stood on Sun Xiu's side.

But she didn't expect that Li Jiakang would suddenly get angry at Li Chen and say such harsh words. How could she not think too much?

Sun Xiu patted her back and said softly, "Mom knows, it's your dad who's wrong. He drank quite a bit today and was talking nonsense there."

"Yes, yes, Dad drank too much, my daughter, don't think too much about it." Li Jiakang echoed.

Li Ju put her head on Sun Xiu's shoulder, put her two little hands around her neck, and said nothing.

Sun Xiu glared at Li Jiakang again and said, "You sleep alone tonight. I'll sleep with Xiaoju."

"Okay, okay, talk to your daughter. Dad really didn't mean anything to her." Li Jiakang said repeatedly.

Li Xu curled his lips. He regretted it now. What had he done before?

Sun Xiu ignored him, stood up, hugged Li Ju and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Li Ping couldn't help but say, "Dad, you really need to change your temper. Look how scared you made my little sister."

"And me." Li Chen raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Yes, and there's the third brother. Although his brain isn't very good, he won't lie. He's just like my younger sister, thinking we're joking."

Li Chen was silent for a while.

To be honest, he didn't take it as a joke...

But he didn't dare to say it now. After all, telling a lie intentionally is different from joking. If he said it out loud, he would definitely get a beating.

Li Jiakang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I'll change it starting tomorrow. You guys supervise me."

"Supervision alone is not enough; there must also be punishment, so that people will remember."

Li Jiakang looked at Li Xu and asked, "What punishment?"

"Alcohol, if you commit this offense, you can't drink for a month, how about that?"

Li Jiakang thought about it, then gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, but you have to help me persuade Xiaoju and tell her not to be angry with me."

His three sons are rebellious, and his eldest daughter may not come back after graduation. Now the only ones who can bring him warmth are his grandson Li Wenbai and his youngest daughter Li Ju.

If Li Ju became alienated from him again because of this, he couldn't bear it.

Li Xu and Li Ping looked at each other and responded, "No problem."

What no one expected was that without waiting for the two to persuade her, Li Ju recovered as before the next day and talked and laughed with Li Jiakang as usual.

This made Li Jiakang feel a little regretful. If he had known that his daughter was a person who did not bear grudges, how could he have agreed to give her alcohol as punishment?

Sun Xiu did not let him go and twisted his body into several purple marks that night.

Li Xu heard muffled groans in the next room and misunderstood it.

...

Two months passed in a flash and it was already 63 years.

During this period, Sun Yizhu and Zhao Zhaodi got married in Sunjiatan, and the scene was extremely grand.

Compared to this, paying off the marriage is child's play.

Moreover, Sun Yizhu's marriage was arranged without spending any money.

First up was the Zhao family. Their only daughter was getting married, so naturally the whole family had to go, plus relatives and friends, there were almost two hundred people in total.

Because there were so many people, they were thoughtful enough to buy a lot of meat, vegetables and food in advance and send them to the Sun family to be used for the wedding.

The second was the Sun family. When the Zhao family went to Sunjiatan to deliver something, Captain Sun was discussing the program with Old Lady Sun.

When I saw this scene, I immediately became unhappy.

What's the meaning?

Are you looking down on us and thinking we have no money?

There are so many people in our Sun family, and we can’t even afford to marry a wife?

So that night he gathered all the members of the Sun family together for a family meeting.

The next day, Mrs. Sun received even more vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, geese and grain.

Finally, it was Li Xu. He had known that many people would attend the wedding, so he sent a lot of food and meat in advance.

As a result, Uncle Sun and others were dumbfounded when they saw the piles of food. How many people could this feed?

Besides, there is no way to withdraw, because if you want to withdraw, you have to withdraw everything, otherwise it will easily offend people.

Just when they were in a dilemma, Old Lady Sun made a decision to invite all the clan members so that everyone could have fun.

Wow, on the wedding day, there were more than a hundred tables of people, and there was almost no room for everyone in the grain drying yard at Sunjiatan.

Everyone was eating and chatting in the audience, while people were performing on the stage. Although there was no alcohol, the atmosphere was extremely warm.

It was also a coincidence that Li Xu happened to be on break that day, so he saw this grand scene with his own eyes.

It’s worth mentioning that although the lion dance performance of the Sun family was not that great, it was still quite good and received a lot of applause.
