Seeing that his grandmother was in a panic, Li Mingxi immediately became suspicious.
He directly pulled Niu Cuihua's arm and said, "No need, grandma, I'm not hungry, really. I just had dinner in the county town. But you, you look so ugly, did something happen? Tell me!"
Niu Cuihua glanced at her granddaughter and really didn't want her to know about those troubles, so she just spoke lightly.
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen? I'm just thinking about the old days. Just look at how good our life is now!"
"We don't have to worry about food or clothes, but why are some people so unsatisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mingxi knew that someone must be looking for grandma!
"Who is it? Grandma? What happened? Tell me!"
Hearing her granddaughter say this, Niu Cuihua's eyes dodged unconsciously, but seeing her granddaughter's innocent look.
After thinking about it, she finally chose to endure it.
Anyway, in her opinion, these things are trivial matters not worth mentioning. There is really no need to affect the mood of her granddaughter because of them!
Li Mingxi waited and waited, thinking that Niu Cuihua was about to tell him, but unexpectedly, she first opened her mouth, and then spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Forget it, it's nothing. You don't need to worry about those things. In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with you. Just leave it alone!"
Li Mingxi tried to get some information out of her grandmother, but no matter what she said, Niu Cuihua just clenched her teeth and said nothing. Seeing her like this, Li Mingxi had to give up even if she was curious.
Niu Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her granddaughter stopped asking questions.
In the end, the truth was not kept secret for long.
Just one evening, when Li Mingxi and her family were having dinner, Liu Zhaodi came.
Seeing Li Mingxi sitting at the table and eating silently with a bowl in hand, she walked quickly forward.
He spoke to Li Mingxi with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Xi, Third Aunt wants to trouble you with something!"
Li Mingxi looked up in confusion, not knowing how he could help.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, her grandmother Niu Cuihua had already spoken first.
"Alright, alright, Third Brother's wife, it's important for a person to know himself. Wumao is not that kind of person at all. No matter how much you say, it won't work!"
Thinking of what Liu Zhaodi said to her in the afternoon when she came here, Niu Cuihua became unhappy. What did she mean by looking down on others? Wumao are stupid to begin with, so does she need to be told anything more?
Everyone in the family knows that the child is a fool!
When Liu Zhaodi heard her mother-in-law speak like this about her son, she immediately became unhappy.
She just stuck out her neck and argued with Niu Cuihua.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Wumao is not that kind of material. Yes, this child is a little slow to react, but no matter what, he is still your grandson. Don't you want him to be capable?"
"Look, we finally have this opportunity. As long as Xiaoxi takes care of Wumao more, maybe he can become a city dweller! That way, we can worry less!"
Having said that, she turned around and spoke to Li Mingxi with a smile on her face.
"Xiao Xi, look, you have to help your Wumao brother. He works so hard every day. All the children in our family are better than your Wumao brother. Now that we finally have an opportunity, you have to help him!"
"Don't worry, as long as your brother Wumao passes the exam, your aunt will give you a big red envelope!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxi smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
It is obvious that Brother Wumao doesn't want to go to school, otherwise, he would have come to find me long ago!
But she didn't say these things to her third aunt, otherwise, she would definitely say that she disregarded the friendship between brothers and sisters!
Liu Zhaodi waited for a while, and seeing that Li Mingxi didn't speak, she smiled awkwardly at first, and then spoke on her own.
"Xiao Xi, I'm counting on you to take care of your brother Wu Mao. You have to help your aunt!"
Niu Cuihua became very annoyed when she heard her say this. If she had known this would happen, she would have taught her child well. Now that she sees the benefits, she wants others to help her so that she can reap the benefits later. What a nice thought!
So thinking this way, she just started to chase the man away.
"Okay, okay, you should leave quickly. What do you mean by 50 cents? Just leave it to Xiaoxi. You don't take good care of the child yourself, and now you hand him over to Xiaoxi, a child. You are so smart!"
Having said that, she glared at Liu Zhaodi, looked her up and down, and said sarcastically, "Liu Zhaodi, your wishful thinking is really going to work!"
"Unfortunately, there is no such beautiful thing in this world!"
Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Liu Zhaodi felt so wronged. She knew that the higher authorities had asked her son to go to school again. If she had known this, she would have sold everything she had to send her son to school!
Besides, she was already embarrassed enough to come and beg her niece for help because of this matter, but her mother-in-law still said this, and she felt really wronged.
Therefore, she grumbled to Niu Cuihua, "Mom, you are really wronging me. When did I ever think like this? Besides, I came to find Xiaoxi because of the facts!"
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly and glanced at Liu Zhaodi sideways. She wanted to see what Liu Zhaodi could say.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Liu Zhaodi spoke up, "Look, among all the school-age children in our family, Xiaoxi is the smartest. So, is there anything wrong with me asking her to help teach Wumao?"
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with it, but don't you see, with Wumao's brain, I'm afraid even if the king came, he wouldn't understand. How can Xiaoxi teach him?"
"Besides, he barely finished elementary school back then. You're asking him to take the college entrance exam now. Are you crazy?"
At the end of her words, she looked at Liu Zhaodi as if she were a madman.
Liu Zhaodi was not angry when she was looked at like this, she just rolled her eyes a few times. Compared with her son going to college, these were really nothing to mention!
However, my mother-in-law's attitude was obviously perfunctory.
She spoke with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Mom, how can you say that?"
Then, she looked at Zhang Huilan with an obscure look.
She didn't know that her mother had always favored the fourth child.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely say something, but now, she has to beg her niece to have any hope!
Look, although she was complaining in her heart, she looked calm on the surface. She didn't look angry at all.
Niu Cuihua curled her lips at her expression and then continued, "What did I say? What's the matter? Wasn't what I said right? Don't you know better than me what kind of people the Wumao are? Do I need to tell you again?"
