They hadn't forgotten the way Li Laosan smiled when they went to the threshing ground.
"Captain, wait a little longer..."
"Let's do it."
Li Fumin thought he had said everything he could, both kind and harsh, but Li Laosan wouldn't listen, so he had to resort to force. Li Laoer was the first to step forward.
"Third brother, don't blame your second brother, it's your own fault for being so incorrigible!"
Seeing Old Man Li and Old Woman Li being taken away, and the state of Old Man Li and Old Man Li, Old Man Li was only thankful for one thing: luckily, he knew when to stop and turned back before it was too late.
Li Lao Er knew the layout of the house very well, and he even packed up the rat nests for Li Lao San to prevent Li Lao San from making trouble later.
Mouse: Who can testify for the mouse? The mouse doesn't want to move.
"Third brother, may you rest in peace."
Li Lao Er felt great after kicking Li Lao San in the butt, finally getting revenge for years of grudges.
No delivery.
It was Li Yiyi who said that after so many years, there might truly be no chance of them meeting again. But then again, who can say for sure?
When Li Laosan's family went to the Northwest, she thought she would never see them again. But later she saw them in Beijing and then in the production team.
Parting ways with the production team once again, Li Yi felt a mix of emotions, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what they were.
Huh?
When she met Li Fuyi's gaze, fierce and cruel, Li Yiyi felt a sense of familiarity with it, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't remember.
Li Laosan had already left, so Wang Yiting and the others could only follow. The head of the Li family followed behind, and Li Wuchi followed at the very back.
"Father, Mother, let's go!"
Looking back at the production team, Li Yiyi and the others were also planning to leave.
Jiang Yuting got into a university in Beijing, and she'll definitely be living there long-term. The family can't be separated.
Looking down at his daughter, Li Laoda thought to himself, "I have to go to the school again, this time for a transfer."
From now on, he might be the only one coming back to the production team frequently.
After thinking about his job, Boss Li was a little reluctant to give it up, after all, it was a secure job. After some consideration, he decided to go find Jiang Cheng.
They helped Jiang Cheng find Su Qing and Jiang Rongyi, and it was a good deal for Jiang Cheng to help him get a job transfer.
"Daughter, Daddy is going somewhere. Do you want to come with me?"
"Let's go inside," Li Laoda said, squatting down as he looked at Li Yiyi.
"I'm going."
How could I not go when I'm meeting people?
Besides, Li Yiyi was also very curious about why Old Lady Li's attitude had changed so drastically, since she hadn't interacted with anyone inside.
When they arrived, it seemed as if their arrival had been anticipated; without any hindrance, Li Laoda and Li Yiyi met with Li Laotai without any obstacles.
"They're here."
Having seen Li Laoda and Li Yiyi many times, Old Lady Li still felt conflicted, harboring a repulsion towards seeing Li Laoda.
On the other hand, Old Lady Li couldn't fool herself; she still longed to see Old Master Li. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to see him.
The silence was deafening; upon meeting, neither side knew what to say.
Grandma Li is complicated, and so is Li Laoda. In any case, Grandma Li is his biological mother who gave him life, and Li Laoda is sincerely grateful.
When he was little, he also longed for his mother's love. Perhaps even Grandma Li herself didn't know that every time Li the eldest took Li the second and third children to the river to wash clothes, Li the eldest would hide in the back.
Watching cautiously, with envy.
He longed for Old Lady Li's attention, even just a scolding, but what happened? Every time Old Lady Li saw him, she acted as if he were invisible, brushing past him without even glancing at him.
From then on, it seemed like Li Laoda understood something. He began to live more clearly, living for himself, but the expectations in his heart could be hidden from others, not from himself.
If it weren't for his daughter, he might still have held onto a sliver of hope in a small corner of his heart.
Looking at Li Yiyi, Boss Li had never felt so fortunate before.
Fortunately, he has a daughter, which allowed him to stop the bleeding on his path of hope.
Now, seeing Old Lady Li again, Old Man Li felt no emotion whatsoever. He had only come here to ask why Old Lady Li had stood up for him at the last moment.
"you..."
"Boss..."
They opened their mouths almost simultaneously, and closed them at the same time.
After a long silence, it was Old Lady Li who broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Boss, do you hate me and your dad?"
Memories churned in her mind, emotions surged in her chest, and although Old Lady Li tried to pretend she didn't care, her heaving body betrayed her.
Through the present-day Li Laoda, Li Laotai seemed to see the end of her past life.
Old Li died. When she heard the news, she and Old Li were holding their great-grandson, Li Jiafu's child. The whole family was beaming with joy.
She was stunned for a moment after seeing the child die, but then she returned to normal and continued to play with the child in her arms, but she could no longer feel happy.
Ultimately, Li Laoda was a piece of her own flesh and blood; she couldn't remain indifferent. She wanted to go see him, but in the end, she didn't.
Outsiders may not know, but Old Lady Li knows it in her heart. She is in pain but doesn't know how to face it, so she can only hide from it.
On the first day, no one came to collect Li Laoda's body.
The next day, there was none.
On the third day, still nothing.
Many days passed, and she almost numb herself. Later, it seemed that the numbness became real. She never paid attention to what happened to Boss Li's body in the end.
"I don't hate."
Li Laoda's voice roused Old Lady Li from her dazed state, pulling her from her reverie. Looking at the still-vivid Li Laoda and Li Yiyi before her, she opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words.
No hatred? Yes, what she did made it difficult for Boss Li to even feel hatred.
Feeling guilty? It seems she didn't even have the chance to feel guilty.
Suddenly, for some reason, Old Lady Li blurted out a sentence.
"Boss, do you know about past lives and present lives?"
The hand holding Li Yiyi suddenly pulled back. Old Master Li wasn't sure what Old Lady Li knew, and surprise flashed in Li Yiyi's eyes as well.
Why did Old Lady Li suddenly say something like that, about past and present lives?
Could it be...?
Out of the corner of her eye, Li Yi carefully observed Old Lady Li and noticed a clear change. Old Lady Li had changed; she still seemed as difficult to get along with as ever.
But from the subtle emotions in the corners of her eyes, I seemed to glimpse a complex and guilty look, mixed with a hint of weariness.
Would the old Mrs. Li have had this expression before? Li Yiyi was certain she wouldn't.
"Past lives and present lives are just a lie. If there were a past life, how could there be a present life?"
Old Li was slightly surprised, but quickly recovered, not wanting Old Lady Li to notice anything amiss.
These two words are too sensitive. Old Master Li doesn't dare to gamble. Is Old Lady Li trying to trick him?
"Yes, that's true. How could there be a past life and a present life?"
"Boss, listen to something I need to tell you."
Li Laoda remained silent. He understood now: if Li Laotai, like Zhou Gangshu, had memories of her past life, then it would explain why Li Laotai's attitude had changed.
There was no response; Old Lady Li continued talking to herself.
