Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi's face froze, but she quickly regained her composure and spoke as usual.
"Mom, because we know what kind of person Wumao is, we have to let Xiaoxi teach him well. Think about it, if Xiaoxi can lead him to the right path, then we don't have to worry about this child, don't you think?"
"As long as Wumao passes the exam, I'll do anything for Xiaoxi!"
When she said the last sentence, she went to see Li Mingxi and asked for her opinion.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think?"
Li Mingxi, who was suddenly called, smiled awkwardly. Seeing his third aunt looking at him expectantly, he wanted to refuse, but was too embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
When Liu Zhaodi saw Li Mingxi's expression, she knew that she definitely didn't want to.
But so what? Now that there is this opportunity for Wumao to succeed, if she doesn't let her child seize it, she would be a fool!
No matter what, she must seize this opportunity today!
Thinking of this, she was extremely annoyed. She gritted her teeth and then spoke to Li Mingxi in a gentle manner.
"Xiao Xi, why don't you say anything? Didn't Third Aunt ask you? Is it okay? Why don't you say something?"
Li Mingxi smiled awkwardly, glanced at Niu Cuihua who kept winking at him, and spoke slowly.
"Third Aunt, what you said is true. Since Brother Wumao needs me now, I will naturally do my best!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhaodi was delighted. She felt that the matter was settled, as long as her niece was willing to help!
As she thought this, a hint of joy unconsciously appeared on her brows.
He twisted his body and was about to speak, but then he heard Li Mingxi speak again.
"But, Third Aunt, I really can't do that. Look, I haven't read a book in a long time. Now I'm not even sure how to read on my own, so how can I tutor Wumao brother? Don't you think so?"
"What? What did you say? Xiaoxi, you are deliberately lying to Third Auntie, aren't you?"
Liu Zhaodi looked at Li Mingxi in disbelief, not believing her at all.
Seeing her looking at him with doubtful eyes, Li Mingxi was afraid that she would not believe him, so he emphasized it again.
"Really, Third Aunt, I really am powerless about this matter. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
Niu Cuihua echoed from the side.
"That's right, Third Brother's wife. Don't you think about how long it has been since this child last read a textbook? I'm afraid he can't even take care of himself, so how can he teach Wumao?"
"Mom, you can't say that. Although Xiaoxi hasn't read the textbooks for a long time, wasn't her academic performance very good when she was in school? Now she says she has forgotten everything. I don't believe it anyway!"
Seeing that Third Aunt-in-law was determined to achieve her goal, Li Mingxi didn't bother to pay attention to her. No matter what he said to such a person, she would not believe it.
"Xiao Xi, are you saying something? Why don't you talk to Third Auntie and see if this is okay?"
Li Mingxi was really forced into no choice. He looked at Liu Zhaodi and then spoke.
"Third Aunt, I really can't do it. If you don't believe me, I won't do anything."
After saying this, Li Mingxi stood up and prepared to take the bowl back to the kitchen.
When Liu Zhaodi saw Li Mingxi was about to leave, she strode forward a few steps and blocked her way.
Li Mingxi looked at his third aunt-in-law in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.
Seeing this, Niu Cuihua took two steps forward, walked to Liu Zhaodi's side, and with one of her men exerted force, she pulled Liu Zhaodi away.
"Liu Zhaodi, what are you trying to do by doing this?"
Being held back by her mother-in-law, Liu Zhaodi was so annoyed that she ignored everything and started howling at the top of her lungs.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm just asking Xiaoxi!"
"Look at you stopping me like this, if someone doesn't know, they'd think I did something bad!"
Having said this, she seemed to realize that her voice was a little loud. She looked at Li Mingxi and spoke softly again.
"Xiao Xi, don't lie to Third Aunt. I know you haven't put down the book in the past few years. Now you say you can't, I really don't believe it!"
When she said this, she was smiling and looked flattering. Li Mingxi looked at her and felt that she looked like Grandma Wolf!
"Xiao Xi, please help me. For so many years, Third Aunt has only asked you for this one thing. Can't you just help me?"
Since she said so, in the past, Li Mingxi would have been unable to bear it and would have agreed, but the problem was that Brother Wumao was really not good enough and was not a good student at all.
He didn't study hard when he was in school, so if he said now that he wanted to study hard, Li Mingxi would definitely not believe it.
Niu Cuihua was standing aside, listening to Liu Zhaodi's words. She felt very annoyed and frowned unconsciously.
Seeing that Liu Zhaodi wanted to continue speaking, she interrupted her directly.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of you telling Xiaoxi? Even if Xiaoxi agrees to you, I still don't want to do it. If you ask me, you'd better give up that idea!"
"Go, go, go, go away! Hurry up and stop bothering me!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua began to coax people out.
Liu Zhaodi had not yet achieved her goal for today, so she naturally did not want to leave easily.
As soon as she saw her mother-in-law trying to drive her away, she grabbed Niu Cuihua's arm and started crying.
"Mom, mom, how can you be so cruel? Several of my children have decent jobs and stable jobs, but Wumao has nothing. Now we finally have an opportunity. It's nothing more than a little trouble for Xiaoxi, but you are unwilling to do it. I just want to ask you, is Wumao your grandson?"
When Niu Cuihua heard her words, her face turned black. What did she mean by "Wumao is her grandson"? When did she stop treating Wumao as her own grandson?
But Liu Zhaodi didn't show any sign of reaction and continued talking to herself.
"Mom, tell me yourself, in all these years, when have you ever seen a Wumao? This isn't fair, you know? There are so many children in the family, why is it that only our Wumao is a peasant?"
Looking at Liu Zhaodi in front of her, Niu Cuihua's face turned dark.
But Liu Zhaodi seemed to be in high spirits, still talking excitedly, and there was a hint that she was getting more and more excited.
Li Mingxi watched his grandmother's increasingly ugly expression and quickly winked at his third aunt, signaling her to stop talking.
But Liu Zhaodi was so busy talking that she didn't notice this.
She was still blabbering in a haughty manner when she heard Niu Cuihua suddenly start scolding her.
