Li Mingxi listened to everyone's words and had a slight guess in his mind that Li Tiesheng's parents probably knew that their son was going to make such a fuss, so they went to their relatives' house to avoid embarrassment.
Of course, all of this is just her guess, and it is hard to say what the real situation is.
Although Li Tiesheng's madness caused quite a stir in the village, it had nothing to do with Li Mingxi's family!
Therefore, when they learned that Li Tiesheng was sent to the city hospital for treatment, everyone in the Li family just sighed and didn't say anything behind his back!
But they didn't care, but some people came to their door specifically to ask them about the situation, and there were even some old women from several families who came to Niu Cuihua every day to ask questions. The implicit meaning of their words made people feel very uncomfortable!
That day, Niu Cuihua came back from outside angrily again.
"Bah! A bunch of old women, I don't know what they're up to. They talk bad about people behind their backs all day long. If I hear them again, I'll tear their mouths apart!"
Li Mingxi and Wumao were concentrating on reviewing in the room. When they heard that Niu Cuihua had returned, Li Mingxi asked Wumao to continue studying, and he went out to check on Niu Cuihua.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard Niu Cuihua cursing. She has been doing this often in recent times, and Li Mingxi has gotten used to it!
She took three or two steps to Niu Cuihua and then spoke cautiously.
"Okay, grandma, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?"
Niu Cuihua looked up at Li Mingxi, and seeing that she cared about her, her expression softened a little, and then she spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Nothing? Aren't you studying? Why do you care about me? Hurry up and read your book!"
Li Mingxi took Niu Cuihua's arm and said calmly, "Grandma, look at what you said. Isn't this just my concern for you?"
Niu Cuihua didn't buy Li Mingxi's tricks. She immediately replied, "You don't need to worry. If you have so much free time, why not focus on studying your lessons?"
"How do you know I didn't study hard? Grandma, if you don't know, don't say anything!"
Seeing that Li Mingxi was about to get angry, Niu Cuihua opened her mouth, then slowly spoke.
"Kid, I didn't say anything to you. I'm just a little worried. You don't know, but I heard that the educated youth in our brigade have been studying very hard recently! Some only sleep four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time, they spend reading. This is just our brigade. I don't know how many people like this are there across the country. Even so, you still don't study hard. Do you think you can compare with others?"
Li Mingxi understood what she meant, but she didn't know how to make her grandmother understand that learning something doesn't mean you can learn it well just by spending more time. It requires more methods and techniques!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just Wumao. Recently, I have been studying with her every day, and combining those methods, I can answer many questions correctly!
It can be said that this is a huge progress!
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but seeing Niu Cuihua's worried look, she still spoke.
"Don't worry, grandma, I know. Besides, I haven't missed a single drop of textbooks in the past few years. Those educated youth definitely don't know as much as I do. Don't worry!"
Niu Cuihua nodded, "That's good, I was just worried. Now that you're sure, I can't say anything more!"
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject, "But I still want to talk about you. You're always thinking about running out and resting. That's not good. I don't understand your learning, but I know you earn work points in the fields. If you rest too much, you won't get as many as others. I think it's the same with your studies. Although you're smart, you can't always be lazy. If you do that for a long time, there will definitely be problems!"
Seeing that grandma was talking more and more, Li Mingxi quickly spoke up to stop her from talking, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, grandma!"
"By the way, grandma, you haven't told me why you're so angry. Did someone say something outside again?"
"That's not the case. It's just that those people are jealous. You guys are all in high school and will take the college entrance exam this year. So, people are gossiping about you in the village. But, it's okay. I scolded them back!"
Looking at the arrogant expression on grandma's face when she said this, Li Mingxi nodded.
"Is that so? That's fine. It's their fault for not letting their kids go to school. We didn't stop them!"
"That's right, that's right, especially Niu Juxiang. She was almost mad. You don't know what she said. She said that their loser was able to take the college entrance examination because the team didn't value learning back then!"
At this point, Niu Cuihua actually laughed, "You don't even know, at that time a group of people looked at Niu Juxiang like she was a fool. Tell me, what was this old lady thinking? She herself didn't let people go to school, and you can blame the team leader!"
"Luckily, the captain isn't here, otherwise, I'd be pissed to death! I can't believe there's someone so dumb!"
"But, speaking of it, even if the captain lets him go to school, Choudan's brain is not up to the task. No matter what, Wumao also graduated from junior high school, but Choudan didn't even graduate from elementary school. How can he compare with Wumao?"
Niu Cuihua was very excited when she talked about this. Li Mingxi knew that because Niu Juxiang always made trouble for their family, grandma also liked to make fun of them!
Just when she thought her grandmother was going to continue, she started talking about her third aunt Liu Zhaodi.
"Isn't this what makes me angry? What makes me most angry is that brainless Liu Zhaodi. I don't know when she got so close to Niu Juxiang. They were talking and laughing together!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxi's face was full of disbelief.
"No way, grandma, you must have misunderstood. How could Third Aunt be so close to her? Doesn't she know that our two families don't get along?"
Niu Cuihua nodded. "I found it strange, too. You don't know. All the old ladies around me asked me how I could have known about this. So, in the end, I had no choice but to come back!"
Thinking about how the two of them were talking and laughing at that time, Niu Cuihua felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
"No, I have to find out what's going on. What does Liu Zhaodi want to do? Is it because no one has dealt with her for a while that she's getting itchy?"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua walked out in a hurry. When Li Mingxi saw her angry look, he was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly took two steps forward and grabbed her arm.
"Grandma, what are you doing? Didn't you just come back?"
"What am I going to do? Of course I have to go and ask that bitch Liu Zhaodi what she wants to do. If she really doesn't want to live in our house anymore, she should get out as soon as possible to save our family from unrest!"
