Seeing that the second brother couldn't do anything to her, Niu Cuihua showed a smug smile on her face!
Even after they finished their meal and returned home, Niu Cuihua had no intention of forgiving Li Aidang!
Li Mingxi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he started to persuade them.
"Grandma, we're all leaving, so don't be angry. Otherwise, Second Uncle will have a hard time for the rest of the day!"
Niu Cuihua glanced at her son and snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with me if he does what he wants?"
Li Aidang was listening to what my mother said, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"Okay, grandma, don't be angry. Look, Second Uncle works so hard every day, and he still has to worry about this. If he gets sick, you won't be the one who feels bad!"
Niu Cuihua said stubbornly, "Who cares about him? Forget it, since he works for everyone, I won't bother with him anymore!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Mingxi and Li Aidang looked at each other, and both of them showed joy on their faces.
Niu Cuihua ignored the interaction between the two. After saying this, she walked straight outside, constantly urging Li Mingxi.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, let's go quickly. If we don't go home soon, your grandfather will be waiting anxiously!"
“Here it comes!”
After Li Mingxi said goodbye to his second uncle, he hurried out.
As soon as they stepped onto the main road, Niu Cuihua could no longer control her curiosity and asked directly.
"Xiao Xi, tell grandma the truth, is there something wrong with that girl Sisi?"
Li Mingxi was concentrating on riding his bike, but when he suddenly heard his grandmother ask him this, he was confused for a moment.
Niu Cuihua, who was behind him, became anxious when she didn't hear Li Mingxi's answer.
"Come on, Xiaoxi, you came back so late this afternoon. Did something happen to Sisi?"
Li Mingxi didn't know why her grandmother would ask her this question.
In just a moment, her heart was in her throat. Could it be that grandma already knew what happened at noon?
Thinking this in her mind, Li Mingxi thought about it carefully again. At noon, she didn't seem to reveal any clues?
So it seems that grandma is deliberately deceiving me?
Thinking this in her mind, she spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Grandma, what are you thinking? How could anything happen to Sisi? You're just overthinking it!"
Niu Cuihua, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, didn't believe Li Mingxi's words at all and spoke hesitantly.
"Really? But this morning, I noticed something wasn't right with your expression. At the time, I didn't dare ask because we were surrounded by other people. But now it's just the two of us. If there's anything, you can always tell me, right?"
At this point, Niu Cuihua's voice suddenly became serious, "Tell me the truth, is there something wrong with that girl Sisi again?"
"I don't know what bad luck that girl has. She's always in trouble. You, Big Mao, and Sister Erni are not like her!"
"Grandma, why do you say that?"
Niu Cuihua muttered, "What did I say? I just think Sisi has a miserable life. What's the matter? I'm worried about her. Are you jealous?"
Li Mingxi shook her head. "Grandma, what are you talking about? Why would I be jealous of Sisi?"
Niu Cuihua ignored her and continued, "Xiaoxi, tell grandma what happened? After you came back from the textile factory, you kept getting distracted while eating. Did you think I didn't see it?"
Li Mingxi hadn't expected her grandmother to be so attentive and alert. But was there anything different about her expression? Why didn't she know?
Li Mingxi had many doubts in his mind, but now that the matter had been resolved, there was no need to let his grandmother know!
There is no benefit at all except making her worry in vain!
Therefore, she just said something nonsense, "Oh, grandma, are you too sensitive? What can happen to Sisi?"
"Could it be that because I rode a little too fast when I came back and looked a little unhappy, you guessed that something had happened to Sisi?"
Niu Cuihua didn't quite believe what Li Mingxi said. She raised her eyebrows and stared at her figure, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
Afraid that his grandmother still believed him, Li Mingxi raised his voice.
"Really, grandma, how can you still not believe me? Besides, why would I lie to you when things are going well? Is there any benefit? Besides, Sisi is doing well at the factory, what could happen to her?"
When Niu Cuihua heard Li Mingxi say this, she curled her lips impatiently and then began to mutter.
"Okay, okay, I don't believe you yet. Look how excited you are. When I tell you something, you get anxious. You even say it's okay and hide it from me. You treat me like a three-year-old child!"
When Li Mingxi heard this, he subconsciously wanted to make excuses.
Niu Cuihua did not give her the chance and spoke directly.
"Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to tell me, there's nothing I can do. As for Sisi's affairs, I can't control them either. Anyway, it's all your business as young people. Do whatever you want. Just remember, if there's anything you can't solve on your own, just ask the adults at home!"
"If all else fails, there's still your second uncle. Isn't he in the county town?"
Afraid that grandma would nag again, Li Mingxi spoke quickly.
"Okay, okay, grandma, we know everything you said!"
After hearing what Li Mingxi said, Niu Cuihua stopped talking.
Li Mingxi thought that grandma would not say anything else.
But after a while, she actually started asking her about Brother Simao again.
"Xiao Xi, do you know what your brother Simao has been doing lately? Your second uncle asked him to join the army, but he didn't want to. And then, even at work, he was always slacking off!"
"Now that we finally have the chance to take the entrance exam, even the five-cent army knows how to study, but he's still the same as before, showing no sign of wanting to study at all!"
Listening to grandma's nonsensical sigh, Li Mingxi asked in confusion.
"Grandma? What's wrong? Why are you talking about Brother Simao for no reason? Did Second Uncle say something to you?"
Thinking of loving you like this in his heart, Li Mingxi thought of the things Simao had done. Although they were not illegal, people like Erbo would definitely be angry if they knew what Simao did behind his back. A beating would be the least of his worries!
Niu Cuihua didn't notice Li Mingxi's reaction and just spoke to herself.
"If you ask me, that brat should be taught a lesson by the second brother. Otherwise, he will act recklessly all the time and be no different from those little thugs!"
"Grandma, what are you saying? How does Brother Simao look like a gangster? What did he do?"
Niu Cuihua looked at her little granddaughter in front of her, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so she told her what Zhang Xiuzhi had seen about Simao.
Li Mingxi didn't expect that grandma had misunderstood because of Simao's search for antiques.
However, that's normal. After all, who would have thought that the reason he wandered around was just to look for antiques!
So she just smiled and started explaining.
"Oh, grandma, you misunderstood Brother Simao. He's different from those little thugs. What do they do? They're just looking for some old stuff and making a profit from the difference in price!"
