With a wave of his hand, the snacks bought for Li Fuyi and the others became the snacks for Li Jiafu and Li Jiaqiang.
"Grandpa, that's me..."
Li Jiamin was frightened by the old man's indifferent gaze. Before he could finish speaking, he became quiet. The old man then looked at Zhao Dahua.
"Second son's wife, give the blue and yellow cloth to your eldest sister-in-law, the rest you can buy two sets of clothes for me and your mother, and the rest can all go to your second wife's family."
"It's been many years since your mother and I have worn new clothes."
He said it casually, but it made everyone's eyes turn to Li Laosan's family. Were they not wearing new clothes because they couldn't afford them?
No, it's because Old Man Li and Old Woman Li gave their share to the third wife, and the third wife's children, young and old, get new clothes every year.
Old Mrs. Li's nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face. She felt a deep, overwhelming sadness; her beloved sons, grandsons, and granddaughters—none of them cared about her at all.
Li Yi was intrigued, and even Old Lady Li would cry.
Why are you crying? Isn't this what you should be doing?
You don't cherish the filial sons, but you spoil the unfilial ones with your life. Li Laosan is just the beginning. When your favorite youngest son abandons you, you won't even have time to cry.
My father and Li Lao Er are both better than Li Lao San and Li Lao Si.
Li Laoda: Thanks for the invitation, but he doesn't need it.
"Third son, do you have any objections to your father's arrangement?"
"Father, no."
How could there be no objections? Even if there were, Li Laosan wouldn't dare to say anything.
Old Man Li saw it all, but he didn't say it aloud. When the Li family head rushed towards Old Lady Li, the third son's family had already become useless; they didn't care about him and Old Lady Li, so no matter how much they loved them, it was useless.
If it's useless, then let's make use of it.
"Second son, in the past, your father favored the third son and neglected you, the second son's family. Your father and mother will not do that anymore."
Suddenly, the conversation changed, and Li Lao Er's eyes were red; Li Lao Tou had finally noticed him.
"Father, as the eldest son, it's only right that I work a little harder."
Old Li nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, he still had two filial sons.
Li Yiyi: No, there's only one of you.
Li Laoda: I feel like I'm being subtly criticized, as if he's not a big shot if he doesn't endure hardship.
“Old woman, from now on, the third son’s family will be the same as the second son’s family. The third son will get the same amount of work points as the second son, and the third son’s wife will get the same amount as the second son’s wife. If you can’t get the work points, then you don’t need to eat.”
Old Mrs. Li felt a pang of pity, but she still nodded.
The old man did the right thing; they couldn't let Li Laosan hurt the second son's family any further.
"Dad, I need to go to work," Li Laosan said tentatively.
“If you go to work, you’ll pay your salary. Just like your mother said before, if she doesn’t agree, you won’t go. Your father is old, but he can still find a job.”
Ignoring Li Laosan's pleading eyes, Old Man Li pretended not to see them.
He begged for mercy. Wasn't he so tough just now? He thought he was all that now that he had a job. He couldn't do anything about it.
“Li Fuyi is a girl, she should learn to do things early, otherwise she might be just like her mother when she goes to her husband’s family and ruin the reputation of my Li family.”
"Um."
The last vestiges of affection were gone; Old Lady Li could never forget how Li Fuyi had hit and scolded her.
That bad grandma, she'll show her what a bad grandma is all about.
"Grandpa, I don't want to,"
Li Fuyi has no intention of doing any work.
"Grandma, you love me the most, I don't want to do any work."
Relying on the old lady's past doting on her, Li Fuyi stubbornly tugged at the old lady's clothes and acted coquettishly.
"Get out of here, you worthless piece of trash."
She shoved Li Fuyi away and glared fiercely at her.
Just like how he usually treated Li Daya and Li Erya, his sharp and sarcastic manner frightened Li Fuyi.
[Old Mrs. Li is so heartless; Li Fuyi has to go to work.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, but given Li Fuyi's character, Old Lady Li and Old Man Li are probably not having a good time.]
No, I have to make Li Fuyi suffer a bit. Old Man Li and Old Woman Li can't be harmed.
With a quick glance, Li Yiyi smiled brightly, her mischievous and adorable demeanor particularly endearing, which Li Laoda liked very much.
“Li Jiamin and Li Jiazhu also went to work in the fields. They shouldn’t be idle all day. They must get the same number of work points as Jiafu and Jiaqiang. If they don’t get any, they won’t be allowed to eat.”
The more you liked it before, the more you hate it now.
Li Jiamin pulled back the impulsive Li family head. He was two years older than the head of the Li family and knew a little more. The third branch of the family had thoroughly angered their grandparents.
Continuing to make trouble will not do them any good. It's better to listen to them for now. With Fu Bao in their family, things will soon return to normal for the third branch of the family.
"Grandpa, my brother and I understand. We will work hard."
"Grandpa, my brother and I will work hard."
At Li Jiamin's prompting, the Li family head forced a smile.
The two grandsons, one big and one small, seemed quite sensible. Old Man Li glanced at them casually and looked away. He had initially liked them, thinking Li Jiamin was intelligent and would definitely amount to something in the future.
The head of the Li family acted impulsively, but with Li Jiamin watching over him, there wouldn't be any major problems. His feelings changed, and the old man Li was disgusted that such a young child would set his sights on him.
"You work to feed yourselves, not for me. What does it matter to me whether you work hard or not?"
His cold and indifferent demeanor caused Li Jiamin's expression to freeze for a moment before quickly dissolving.
"Grandpa, you're right."
Now that he was disgusted, Old Man Li didn't even glance at him or respond.
[Father, Mother, don't underestimate Li Jiamin just because he's little. He'll be ruthless in the future.]
