In other words, the plot is still ongoing, but the two of them have likely escaped the main storyline and are out of control.
Great, happy.
As long as they don't get caught up in the so-called plot, nothing else matters to them.
Human joys and sorrows are not the same for everyone. Li Yiyi worries that the main plot will continue, and she will remain a control group. Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting, on the other hand, are happy that their family is not controlled by the plot.
The older one was happy, while the younger one looked distressed.
"Third brother, don't be angry. Third sister-in-law might be sulking with you. You can go and pick her up in a few days."
The kind-hearted Li Laosi comforted him, and Li Laosan's expression softened considerably. He shared the same thoughts as Li Laosi, which is why he stopped trying to stop Wang Yiting.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Li Laosan responded politely, and his impression of Li Laosi improved considerably. Of the family, only Li Laosi had given him a way out.
"Mom and Dad, let's eat. Don't get upset."
After comforting Li Laosan, Li Laosi comforted Li Laotai and Li Laotou.
Let's eat!
Dinner wasn't very enjoyable; Wang Yiting's outburst affected them, though Li Yiyi and the others remained unaffected.
After finishing their meal, they wiped their mouths, picked up Li Yiyi, and made their escape, with Jiang Yuting close behind.
"This family is full of lazy bums."
The ones who got scolded were Li Yiyi and her group, while Zhao Dahua, Li Daya, and Li Erya were the ones who did the work.
There were just as many girls as boys in the family, but their status was worlds apart. While Fuqiang, Minzhu, and the other two were still playing at seven or eight years old, Li Daya and Li Erya were already doing chores at five or six.
Li Fuyi is an exception; Li Yiyi is still young, and Li Lao Er and Zhao Dahua don't protect her; Li Daya and Li Erya are like cabbages in the field—if they turn yellow, no one will even notice.
They ate little, did a lot, and wore hand-me-downs from the four members of Fuqiang Minzhu. Li Daya was 11 years old, but looked the same age as Li Fuyi, who was five or six. Li Erya was even worse off; she was the same age as Li Fuyi, but looked like a three or four-year-old child. Little Li Fuyi was more than one size smaller.
Once in the kitchen, Zhao Dahua shrugged and dumped all the work on Li Daya and Li Erya.
As he left, he muttered "good-for-nothing" under his breath.
Old Mrs. Li was extremely patriarchal, and Zhao Dahua was no better. Zhao Dahua was a distant niece of Old Mrs. Li's family, and their personalities and ways of doing things were practically identical, not to mention that Zhao Dahua's family was extremely patriarchal.
The two little ones were washing dishes with cold water on a freezing day because Grandma Li thought firewood was hard to gather and boiling water would be a waste.
When Li Laoda went into the kitchen to cook baby food for Li Yiyi, Li Daya and Li Erya looked at him expectantly.
In the past, Boss Li would always share with them, and would even secretly slip them some food. But now, Boss Li doesn't show any mercy anymore.
He doesn't even care about his own parents, so what does he, as their uncle from another branch of the family, care about? Don't think he doesn't know. Every time he gives them food, they give it to Zhao Dahua and Li Lao Er, which indirectly brings him hatred.
Li Yiyi had no idea what Boss Li was thinking; if she did, she would definitely complain.
Li Daya and Li Erya came specifically to pronounce on Li Laoda's selfishness and ruthlessness to those around them after his defeat.
They said they had plenty of money and food, yet they didn't help them and just watched them go hungry.
The truth is, Li Laoda gave it to them, and they handed it over to Zhao Dahua and Li Laoer themselves. Who can they blame for not having enough to eat? It's a classic story of the farmer and the snake.
[Dad, I'm hungry.]
The cute, childlike voice using reduplicated words delivered double the cuteness, and what would normally be a three-step walk was covered in just two by Boss Li.
"Daughter, come here and let Daddy ask you how to get here."
"Dad, it's delicious, it smells wonderful."
Li Yiyi swallowed it all in one gulp, her eyes narrowing in satisfaction.
This is still the best. I don't know how my parents managed to eat the pig feed in the main room.
Having not heard the words "pig feed" in a long time, both Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting were taken aback by their sudden recollection.
[This is so annoying! How can I tell my parents that I can grow crops and raise chickens, ducks, and geese in my virtual space?]
[Let's wait until I can talk.]
[Work hard, work hard, work hard, I'm a superior person.]
Each bite tasted better than the last, and Boss Li began to consider what Li Yiyi had said.
He's so stupid. Why take the long way when there's a shortcut? He should make use of his daughter's space. He's decided that he'll take his daughter with him next time he goes to town.
Li Yi opened his little mouth, and Li Laoda quickly fed him a bite.
Let's feed our daughter first, and worry about the rest later.
Jiang Yuting stopped her needlework and looked out into the courtyard. In the dim light, Li Daya and Li Erya were still busy washing clothes.
Sigh~
"What do you think the second son and his wife are thinking? Aren't daughters and sons the same? Da Ya and Er Ya are so young, how can they be so heartless?"
With Li Yiyi by her side, Jiang Yuting's heart softened considerably.
The thought of Li Yiyi ending up like Li Daya and Li Erya broke her heart.
Li Yi looked up and carefully recalled Li Daya and Li Erya. The book didn't describe them much; they only appeared briefly at the end, and it seemed they were living quite well.
"Mom, don't pity them. They don't deserve any pity. They've actually done quite well since then."
[They gave all the things their father had previously given them to Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua, and in the end, they even joined Li Fu Yi in accusing their father of being selfish and heartless.]
Jiang Yuting: She didn't sympathize; she just sighed.
Li Yiyi's words made her afraid to even sigh. Since that was the case, they should just live their own lives well, lest they help someone only to end up being criticized.
Old Li chuckled as he looked at Li Yiyi and Jiang Yuting. As long as their family didn't follow the main storyline, he couldn't worry about the rest.
"Girl, take the things out."
Li Yiyi had almost digested what she had eaten and had finished eating as well. With no one around to disturb her, she was ready to eat as well.
"pheasant."
Jiang Yuting hadn't eaten meat in a long time, not because she couldn't afford it, but mainly because it had a strong smell and was hard to hide.
"Wife, come quick."
Li Laoda tore off a chicken leg for Jiang Yuting, ate one himself, and every now and then tore off a piece of the unsalted part for Li Yiyi to savor.
All three of them were satisfied. They could use the space openly and legitimately, which was much more convenient. They would no longer have to worry about how to hide the meat they ate.
In the courtyard, Li Erya tilted her head back and sniffed.
"Big sister, it smells like meat."
She couldn't be mistaken; Boss Li had given them some before. She tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth—it tasted wonderful.
"Yes, it's meat."
Unable to contain her desire, Li Daya slowed down her washing, her gaze fixed on the door of the main room.
"Are my uncles eating meat?"
"Definitely."
"Big sister, I really want to eat meat. We haven't had meat in so long."
Before Li Yiyi was born, the eldest son would occasionally bring meat home, and even if they didn't have meat, they could still get a spoonful of meat broth. After Li Yiyi was born, they haven't had any.
"Er Ya, do you really want to eat meat?"
"I want to." Li Erya sucked in her saliva, her mouth watering.
“Er Ya, your older sister is washing clothes here. Why don’t you go ask your uncle for some? Think about it, your uncle always gives us food, and he’ll definitely give you a little meat.”
