"Uncle Zhou, this is the food I brought for you. It's a bit little. I'll see if I can send you some more in a while. Also, Uncle Zhou, please keep this money. Use it to buy some medicine and get better."
When Boss Li said this, he was very cautious, unlike how he spoke to Old Man Li and the others, as if he wanted to protect the self-esteem of the two people opposite him.
"Get out! Take your stinking grain and money and get out! Who do you think you are, Li Laoda? Even if my Zhou family is down on its luck, it's not your place to give us handouts."
The old man suddenly roared, clearly looking down on Li Laoda's appearance, leaving Li Yiyi instantly stunned.
[Father, do you have a grudge against them? They're down on their luck, and your willingness to help them is already a kind gesture. Whether they accept it or not, you shouldn't have spoken ill of them!]
Why can't we just talk things out properly?
Sigh~
Li Laoda sighed softly. Li Yiyi, nestled in his arms, heard it, tilting her little head back, not understanding why Li Laoda was sighing.
“Uncle Zhou, why are you so angry? You know in your heart that after all these years, if it were really charity, it wouldn’t be like this. Think about it yourself. I’ve left the grain and money here. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your grandson.”
If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Zhou and the old hunter had some connection, and that the old hunter had treated him quite well, he wouldn't have bothered to come here and let someone else scold him.
He's done everything he could over the years, but if his attitude remains the same, then it's better if he doesn't come again.
"Get lost, Boss Li. I don't care what you mean. Take your money and food and leave. You don't have to worry about us. Our Zhou family may have fallen, but we people will not."
The arrogance in Uncle Zhou's eyes grew even more pronounced. The Li family members in the production team used to be his long-term laborers, and now he was being supported by the descendant of one of those laborers.
This was a significant blow to Uncle Zhou, and his words were harsh, as he wanted to save face.
Li Yi felt a surge of anger. What was wrong with the old man?
"Dad, do you think this old man is crazy? If he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it. He can just throw the food and money away somewhere. Why does he have to eat it?"
My eyesight is perfectly fine; don't think I didn't see that the child was cooking grain.
[She said she didn't want it, but after you left, she wanted to eat it. She's hypocritical and even more shameless than Li Fuyi.]
[Dad, please don't tell them that all these years you've come to deliver grain to them, all you've received are cold stares and disdain. Tell me, what are you after?]
"Wenzhu, see the guest out."
Out of sight, out of mind. Uncle Zhou told the children to see the guests out. Boss Li was about to leave when Li Yiyi's words stopped him in his tracks.
[Wenzhu? Zhou Wenzhu? Male lead?]
[Dad, the number one ingrate has appeared.]
ungrateful wretch,
Li Laoda is very sensitive to this term. Her daughter referred to Yang Guowei as the "second ingrate," and now that a "first ingrate" has appeared, does that mean...?
Before he could figure it out, Li Laoda instinctively picked up the money and grain from the ground and said before Zhou Wenzhu and Uncle Zhou could react,
“Uncle Zhou, you’re right. Your family has integrity and backbone. I shouldn’t have used grain and money to humiliate you. It was all my fault before.”
Looking down at Zhou Wenzhu in front of him, a strange glint flashed across Li Laoda's face.
"Wenzhu, you don't need to see us off. I'll leave right away. Don't worry, I will never come here again."
Boss Li spoke with certainty, and quickly and decisively opened the door and went out.
In just a few seconds, they had already left the cowshed carrying grain and money. The moment the door closed, both Li Laoda and Li Yiyi saw it.
Uncle Zhou, who had been lying down, sat up, his eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.
Zhou Wenzhu, who was standing there, looked bewildered, as if she didn't understand why Boss Li had changed his mind so quickly.
Don't let their strong will fool you; they've lived this long entirely thanks to Boss Li's support. Otherwise, with only an old man and a child, and no prior work experience, how could they possibly support themselves, let alone live so well?
【Hahaha】
"Dad, did you see that? They were all stunned."
[Am I stupid?! How could I not remember that the male lead's surname is Zhou? I only remembered it after hearing his name.]
[Zhou Wenzhu, a character from storybooks with a proud and verdant spirit like bamboo, is now still a child who only grew up thanks to my father's charity. It's so satisfying to watch.]
[Father, they're absolutely right. Even if you continue to give them handouts, you can't do it again. They don't deserve it.]
He strode out of the cowshed; there was hardly anyone around. Looking at his overjoyed daughter in his arms, Boss Li was a little curious about how he got the nickname "Number One Ungrateful Wolf."
He wouldn't ask; he trusted his daughter would tell him herself. She wasn't the type to keep things bottled up.
"Girl, quickly put these things into your treasure vault."
The item vanished in a flash. Every time Li Laoda saw it, he found it amazing. Luckily, it was his daughter; anyone else would have been reported long ago.
Just as Li Laoda had thought, without any prompting from him, on the way to the back mountain, Li Yiyi herself explained how she got the nickname "White-Eyed Wolf Number One."
[Dad, Zhou Wenzhu is the male lead, and he and Li Fuyi, the female lead, are the official couple. In the storybook, one is a sweet and charming female lead with the nickname "Little Lucky Star," and the other is a self-reliant and scholarly male lead from a poor family. I remember many people shipping them back then.]
[They're described as the pinnacle of mutual redemption, completely forgetting that the male lead survived entirely thanks to my father. Later it's revealed that after Uncle Zhou's death, you, Dad, will sponsor Zhou Wenzhu's education, providing him with food and clothing, so he can successfully pass the college entrance exam after it's reinstated.]
[After meeting Li Fuyi, Zhou Wenzhu fell into the heroine's gentle embrace. He listened to Li Fuyi complain about me every day, believing that my appearance had stolen the affection that originally belonged to Li Fuyi. He then began to give me the silent treatment at school, which worsened my condition.]
[One relies on my dad, two rely on my dad, three rely on my dad! How come they can't live without my dad? What's wrong with my own parents loving me? Who gives Zhou Wenzhu the right to judge me? He's ungrateful and self-righteous. If he's so capable, he should support himself instead of relying on my dad!]
[He forgot, he doesn't have that ability. He's a young master from a wealthy family, how could he do such menial work? When trying to clear his name, he even said, "Dad, you're the descendant of their family's long-term laborer, it's only right that you support him," and he even thought he was right.]
This was mind-blowing; Li Yiyi realized she no longer liked storybooks.
Lying sprawled in Li Laoda's arms, Li Yiyi wanted to rest for a bit, afraid that thinking about Zhou Wenzhu and Li Fuyi's perfect romance might make her vomit.
Boss Li's face twitched uncontrollably; the gentle embrace...
Li Laoda once again expressed that he had learned something new; perhaps his daughter had read too many storybooks in her past life, as she knew how to use all sorts of words.
But... the term "gentle haven" is really not suitable to be uttered by a little baby.
His anger and other negative emotions vanished when he heard his daughter standing up for him. With her reminder, he knew he wouldn't repeat his mistakes.
As an outsider, he also wanted to see how Li Fuyi, Yang Guowei, and Zhou Wenzhu would continue their relationship without him.
