Li Yi didn't even blink; the bigger the commotion, the better.
Li Laoda held Li Yiyi in his arms and protected Jiang Yuting behind him to prevent any unexpected accidents from happening.
"Husband, your parents are too cruel. Come on, I'll take you back to the Wang family."
Wang Yiting glared resentfully at Old Man Li and Old Woman Li. The pain on her face made her feel ashamed. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and listened to Li Laosan's words, returning with him.
“Father and Mother, I am unfilial, but you first prevented our family from surviving, beat my wife, and severely beat my son and daughter, and now you want my life.”
"Wife, daughter, son, let's go."
Li Laosan made a difficult decision, enduring the pain as he shakily stood up.
It hurts so much.
If he had used any more force, his bones might have broken. Li Laosan felt both sad and secretly pleased.
Once he went to the Wang family, he wouldn't have to hand over his salary anymore; he could make his own decisions about it.
"Li Laosan, if you dare to step out of this house today, I'll make sure you lose all your reputation tomorrow."
Old Man Li, pulling Old Woman Li along, sat down in their seats, looking frail and old, coldly watching Li Laosan, his eyes glancing at Li Jiamin and the Li family head.
Old Li's heart grew even colder. What use were his son, grandson, and granddaughter if they had no conscience? They treated him well but didn't know how to be grateful.
"Father, are you trying to force me to my death?"
Li Laosan couldn't believe it; Old Man Li had never spoken to him so harshly before.
Here they come, the Li family is truly ungrateful.
[Look at them, both are wives, but Zhao Dahua is busy at home and outside from morning till night, and still can't miss work, while Wang Yiting complains about being tired even when she goes to the fields to work idly.]
Although both are sons, Li Laosan is not as favored as Li Laosi. His parents rarely refuse him anything he wants. Even though he doesn't earn many work points, his father never complains. Li Laoer, on the other hand, gets scolded to death if he doesn't get his full work points in a day.
[The grandchildren, Li Fuyi, is five years old and is still fed and cared for every day. A bowl of egg custard and refined grains are a regular occurrence. Li Daya and Li Erya have never even tasted noodle soup; they spend their days digging for wild vegetables in the mountains behind the village.]
The difference between wealth and democracy is vast. Even grandsons like Li Jiafu and Li Jiaqiang, who are roughly the same age, have to work. Yet, Li Jiamin and Li Jiazhu can't even distinguish between sorghum and corn.
[They were treated too well; if they weren't treated even slightly better, they would have driven the whole family to their deaths. Compared to Li Lao Er's family, the third branch of the family was treated like honored guests.]
While sighing and shaking his little head, Boss Li felt that Li Yiyi's analysis was correct.
Some people are just too comfortable, that's why they can't tell their own worth. Old Man Li's face grew increasingly dark, while Old Man Li was actually looking forward to the fate of Old Man Li's family.
Leaving is impossible.
For Old Man Li, moving his family to the city had become an obsession. He was willing to give some face to Li Laosan's family if they were obedient, but if they were disobedient, they would probably end up like him, unwelcome.
He has the confidence and ability to avoid being controlled by Old Man Li, but it's unclear whether Old Man Li has that ability.
With a smile hidden in his eyes, Li Laoda seemed to see the path Li Laosan would take in the future. He was truly happy. Hadn't Li Laosan always envied him? Now he didn't need to envy him anymore; they would both be disliked together!
"Third son, do you think your parents really want to force you to your death, or do you want to use this as an excuse to leave this family?"
With his sharp eyes and all-seeing, oppressive aura, Li Laosan had never realized how terrifying Old Man Li was.
"Father, what you and Mother are doing is just trying to force us to our deaths."
With his head down, Li Laosan dared not look Li Laotou in the eye.
"hehe"
He hadn't completely given up, but he was still heartbroken. Sometimes, Old Man Li even wondered if he had been too good to Li Laosan's family.
"Li Laosan, Li Laosan, I mean it. If you and your wife dare to step out of this house, I will ruin your family's reputation."
[Old Li is awesome! That's how you deal with pretentious people.]
【If you can control Li Laosan, you and Li Laotai will have a good life from now on. Quickly, let them see what it means to be truly successful.】
Li Yiyi was incredibly excited. Her nemesis was about to suffer, so how could she not be happy?
“Your wife, since she married into our Li family, when has she ever taken care of the household affairs, and when has her work points in the fields exceeded seven? These are all things that the brigade can find out.”
Wang Yiting's expression was somewhat unnatural; she would have almost forgotten if Old Man Li hadn't mentioned it.
“What good are you, Li Laosan? Just like your wife, you’re lazy, good-for-nothing, and think you’re so great. If it weren’t for your mother and me helping you, could you support yourself? Could you support your daughter and son?”
"Now that you've made it big, you think you're all that important. You feel like we're exploiting you and you want to leave this house."
The forgotten facts gradually became clear, and Li Laosan's face turned pale and then red. What Li Laotou said was true, and he couldn't refute it.
"Father, I..."
"Alright, Li Laosan, stop with the nonsense. I just want to tell you, if you think you're all grown up now, then leave."
Ignoring the fact that Li Laosan's family was standing there, Old Man Li looked at Li Laoer.
"Second son, second daughter-in-law, go to the third son's room and take out all the money and things that don't belong to him. Your mother and I are not dead, and this family has not been divided yet."
With his gaze fixed on Wang Yiting, Old Man Li regretted his decision. He had thought he could leverage the Wang family's influence, but instead, he had married a troublemaker.
"father..."
Li Laosan watched nervously as Li Laoer and Zhao Dahua left, wanting to move but daring not to. His father was actually serious.
“Third son’s wife, if you feel that my Li family has wronged you, you can go back to your Wang family. Our Li family can’t afford to have a wife like you. I, Old Man Li, may not be very capable, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of your Wang family.”
Wang Yiting pulled her foot back after taking a step forward. Her mind was filled with thoughts of what to do. Everything in the house was gone; her heart ached.
But she dared not resist. One reason her parents had chosen Li Laosan was because Li Laotou had a history of criminal activity and possessed valuables.
Over the years, having given birth to two sons and a lucky daughter, she had almost forgotten what her parents had said.
Wow, that's impressive! I didn't expect Old Man Li to be so capable.
In the end, it all came to the point where only Li Lao Er was left to support them, Li Lao Si was an ungrateful wretch, and Li Lao San wasn't much better off.
Is this all karma, forcing my father to suffer the consequences himself in the end?
Big questions filled Li Yiyi's little head. Adhering to one principle, if she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it. Li Yiyi sat quietly and watched the show.
"Father, Mother, everything is here."
Old Li was holding a wad of bills and carrying the things that Old Li San and Wang Yiting had bought yesterday. As for Zhao Dahua, she was covered in things she thought were nice.
When Wang Yiting saw the room, it was so full that she almost fainted. It looked worse than if their room had been robbed.
Li Lao Er took the money, counted it—it was over three hundred—and handed it to Li Lao Tou. Li Lao Tou stared straight at Li Lao San.
"Li Laosan, isn't the money with the Wang family?"
"Father, I..."
Li Laosan couldn't find anything to say, and Li Laotou didn't expect him to say anything either.
"Second brother, take these things back to the room for Jiafu and Jiaqiang to eat."
