"Yi-yi, don't talk nonsense. Your third uncle and third aunt are already very sad."
Li Laoda was secretly overjoyed. He knew his daughter was just like him, full of mischief and unable to bear seeing peace in the family. Since they both had their own little schemes...
Then let them turn their pettiness into magnanimity; the muddier the waters, the better. Separate as soon as possible, so their family can stay far away from Li Fuyi.
"Where's the money for the ginseng?"
Li Yi reminded her, and then Old Lady Li began to do the math.
I almost got fooled; I forgot why I asked Li Laosan's family to pick up Wang Yiting.
"Third brother, the family hasn't been divided yet, hurry up and take out the money."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhao Dahua added fuel to the fire, her gaze towards Li Yiyi softening considerably.
Li Yiyi is not a sickly person at all; she is clearly their second wife's lucky star.
The more savings they had, the more they would receive when the family divided the assets. Just thinking about how much a single ginseng root was worth made Zhao Dahua's eyes sparkle.
[It's creepy.]
[Mom and Dad, look at Zhao Dahua's eyes! If she's a big bad wolf, she's trying to kidnap me, her little white rabbit.]
"Little white rabbit?" That's a fitting description. Just by looking at her, who would know his daughter has a black heart?
“Mother, the ginseng was found by Fu Bao, it doesn’t belong to the family’s money.”
Li Laosan shrank his neck and looked cautiously at Li Laotai as he spoke; anyone with eyes could see that he was reluctant to part with her.
"Third brother, is that really what you think?"
“Mom, last time my eldest brother brought back a pheasant from the mountain, we roasted and ate it in the yard, and you and Dad didn’t say anything. But since it’s the same thing from the mountains, Fu Bao’s has to be handed over.”
Li Laosan was not satisfied and dragged Li Laoda into the fray.
"Can those be the same?"
Old Mrs. Li muttered cautiously, but had no words to refute. The eldest son, Li, who had been pulled out, was glared at fiercely.
Dad, you're so innocent!
[A real-life example of someone who gets caught in the crossfire.]
“Mother, I roasted it in the yard. I didn’t say I wouldn’t hand it over. It’s just that you don’t come over to eat it yourselves. It’s different from what happened with the third son.”
Old Li was being completely open and honest, which earned him another eye roll from Old Lady Li.
In the past, would Boss Li have given us food? The answer is no.
"Third brother, your eldest brother did indeed hand over the money."
The pressure was put on Li Laosan, and Wang Yiting hurriedly added some pressure, which Li Laosan immediately used as an excuse.
“Mother, the money from selling ginseng is all at my wife’s family’s house. They’ve taken all the money.”
They were just rambling on and on, and then suddenly he said he didn't have any money on him. Old Mrs. Li didn't believe him.
"Eldest brother, second brother, let's go to Old Wang's house and get the money back. I want to see how shameless they are to dare to ask for money from my Li family."
Glancing sideways at Wang Yiting and Li Laosan, Old Lady Li didn't care at all about making a scene.
"Mother, Mother, this is going to get out of hand and make things look bad."
Old Li San, pulling Old Li Tai along, forced out a sentence.
"Hmph, the Wang family isn't afraid of making a scene, they've lost all shame. I, Old Lady Li, have nothing to be afraid of."
"Eldest and second eldest, let's go."
Li Laoda remained seated, while Li Laoer and Zhao Dahua eagerly stood up, followed by Li Jiafu and Li Jiaqiang.
"Mother, I beg you, please don't go!"
Li Laosan regretted coming up with such a lame excuse, but explaining it would only make him look foolish.
"Li Laosan, it seems you've found a wife and your heart has been completely devoted to the Wang family. Why do you complain about your home and want to become a live-in son-in-law in the Wang family?"
Enraged, the obedient son refused to hand over the money, which infuriated the already disgruntled Old Lady Li. She strode over to Wang Yiting, raised her rough hand, and slapped her across the face. She then proceeded to assault her body as well.
"It's all your fault, you shameless hussy! How dare you complain about my Li family and try to coax my son back to the Wang family with you? Let me tell you, you can dream on."
“Li Laosan was raised by me with my own hands, he’s my son in life and in death. If you want him to go to your Wang family, I’ll fight your Wang family to the death.”
"I'll beat you to death, you vixen! You good-for-nothing! You married into my Li family and still act like a princess of the Wang family. How dare you think my Li family is your Wang family? Let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, you have to grovel before me."
Old Mrs. Li beat him fiercely and quickly, as if she wanted to vent all the anger she had suffered over the years. Li Laosan didn't dare to fight back and pleaded desperately from the sidelines.
"Mother, please stop hitting her, Mother, please stop hitting her."
"Get out of here."
Old Lady Li kicked Li Laosan away, and then went berserk.
"Mom, you bad grandma, go away, let go of my mom."
Li Fuyi patted Old Lady Li's leg, and Li Jiamin and the head of the Li family joined in to stop Old Lady Li.
"Go away, you bad grandma, don't hit my mother."
Her most beloved granddaughter and two favorite grandsons were both scolding her. Old Mrs. Li was devastated. She released Wang Yiting from her grasp and looked down at Li Fuyi, who was hitting her.
"Smack!"
"You heartless little ingrate! I feed you and clothe you, and you actually hit me for your mother's sake."
"Grandma." Li Fuyi looked up at the old lady in a daze, unable to believe that the old lady had actually hit her.
"I'll beat you to death, you old bastard! How dare you hit my sister!"
The impulsive head of the Li family charged towards Old Lady Li like a cannonball. If she had been hit, she would have been seriously injured or crippled. Because of her grief, Old Lady Li couldn't react at all.
"Get lost, you little beast."
Finally, it was Old Man Li who blocked the Li family head and delivered a powerful kick, sending the small Li family head flying to the ground.
"son."
Kneeling, Li Laosan rushed over to see the head of the Li family. Seeing his son's eyes closed in pain, Li Laosan was enraged.
"Father, the patriarch is your own grandson, how could you do such a thing?"
"Li Laosan, why don't you say he hurt your mother?"
Old Man Li felt as if he had never truly understood Li Laosan's family. The ruthlessness in the eyes of the Li family head just now had even startled him.
Everyone in the production team had witnessed how good he and Old Lady Li had been to Li Fuyi, Li Jiamin, and the head of the Li family. It was precisely because they had been so good that he felt a chill in his heart when the head of the Li family and Li Fuyi turned against each other.
"Father, the head of the family didn't do it on purpose."
"Bullshit, Li Laosan, have you lost your mind? If you didn't do it on purpose, then tell me, what does it mean to do it on purpose?"
She picked up a stool and smashed it down on Li Laosan, shattering the stool into pieces. Li Laosan fell to the ground, and Wang Yiting quickly scrambled over to him.
"Honey, honey, are you alright?!"
With her face bruised and swollen, and still crying, Wang Yiting looked really bad. Li Jiamin and Li Fuyi ran to Li Laosan's place.
The family of five was all on the ground; some were injured, some were crying, and some were scared.
[Brilliant, truly brilliant! I never expected Old Man Li and Old Woman Li to actually resort to violence.]
[Dad, it seems the plot isn't always the same.]
[Look how much Old Man Li and Old Woman Li usually dote on Li Fuyi and the other two, but when it really matters, they showed no mercy at all.]
That slap, that kick, went straight to my heart.
I really wonder if Li Fuyi can still be her lucky charm after Old Man Li and Old Lady Li no longer show her favoritism.
That was so satisfying! It was incredibly enjoyable to watch!
