Chapter 422 A Smooth Road in Life
There was no wine at the main table. The two old men and the two elders sitting with them could not drink. Xu Qingsong and Tao Huayu had to drive soon, and Liu Wangxue and the others wanted to go to the hot springs when they arrived, so Lao Li gave this table some freshly squeezed juice.
The other three tables didn't have much wine either, they just drank with each other. Halfway through the meal, someone got drunk and came to each table to persuade them to drink, and the people at the main table were all blocked by Lao Li.
The meal was a lively and joyful one, and the happiest people were Li Yu's grandparents.
The incident with Li Yu's mother left a shadow in the hearts of the two old people. But after that period, they felt that they couldn't live without a woman at home. When making the decision, they were very conflicted. On the one hand, they wanted to find someone to take care of them, but on the other hand, they were afraid that they would run into someone like that if they didn't know the right person. Look at their grandson, how he was tortured by that woman. The young man in his teens couldn't even speak when he saw people, and could only hide behind his father. Whenever the old couple thought of this, their hearts ached.
After much deliberation, they finally found the right person, but the old couple did not dare to make a decision on their own, so they called Lao Li back to ask for his opinion and thoughts.
Old Li told the truth. Li Yu's treatment had just improved. If he just left her alone and went to see someone, the child might really be ruined. And after this incident, he didn't want to think about getting married anymore. He just wanted to take good care of the child and save more money in the future, so that even if Li Yu didn't achieve anything in the future, he would have money to support him.
The divorce took quite some time, and Li Yu's mother spread rumors at the time, so the rumors were exaggerated and spread. Unpleasant words could be heard by anyone who went out.
Old Li had always known about this, and he had heard a lot on the way home since he entered the village. Most of the people gossiping about him were those who had once envied his family's good life, and now seeing his situation, they naturally felt relieved.
Old Li didn't take it seriously, but the old couple was very angry. The words that hurt the old couple the most were "their only child is completely ruined".
Old Li understood his parents' good intentions. They must have thought that the previous woman was not good to both adults and children, which was why so many things happened. So they decided to find someone who was good to both adults and children and could take care of them. Maybe this would help Li Yu's condition.
Old Li explained the whole situation to his parents, and finally said the above words to dispel their thoughts.
The two old people had originally thought it was not important whether they could make a living or not, as long as their children were healthy and safe, but after Li Yu recovered from his illness, he was admitted to a key university in the province. Oh, the old couple were so happy, but they were happy.
Li Yu's grandmother took charge and sent the good news to all relatives and neighbors. Later, a graduation banquet was held in the city, and teachers from various subjects were invited. Another banquet was held in the village with great fanfare.
After I finished the process, there were still people who complained behind my back, "What's the point of getting into a good university? You should be able to find a good and lucrative job after graduation."
Li Yu's grandparents no longer take these words to heart. Old Li has really made a lot of money in recent years, and their family has become prosperous again. They can just live their own lives behind closed doors and let them be jealous.
Who would have thought that Li Yu would be so successful that he could work abroad before graduating from university. The old couple didn't know what international brands were, nor did they know what this job could bring to their grandson. They only knew that for them, going abroad was a dream that was even more distant than a fantasy. They had never left this village in their lives, but their grandson had the opportunity to go abroad, which was something worth celebrating.
When Old Li talked about holding this celebration banquet, the old couple was even more enthusiastic than when they held the graduation banquet. They took out all the savings books from the bottom of the box and asked him to treat the guests at the best restaurant in the city. They wanted to invite all the close relatives in the family, and also mention it to others when they chat in the village, so that they could feel proud again.
The money in the passbook was given to them by Lao Li from time to time. The two elders were reluctant to spend it and saved it. Lao Li naturally would not take it back. He had also booked the hotel and guessed what his parents were thinking, so he just came back to tell them.
The old couple is now sitting in a private room, looking at their eldest grandson who is getting better and better, and they really feel that there are no regrets in their life.
Li Yuzheng and Liu Wangxue were eating and chatting when they turned around and saw his grandmother wiping her tears and her aunt next to her trying to persuade her.
Li Yu immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up and ran over. Everyone at the same table noticed his move and stopped eating.
Grandma wiped away her tears, took Li Yu's hand and patted it, saying to everyone: "It's okay, it's okay. People get old and their eye sockets are shallow. I'm just happy, happy."
Lao Li had just gone to his friend's table to drink. His friend came to eat for his sake, so he had to drink with him. When he came back with the cup, he noticed that the atmosphere here was not right, so he asked.
Grandpa took a bite of the food and used an idiom: "Your mother is crying with joy!"
When these words were spoken, everyone laughed.
The aunt continued to persuade him, saying: "Now that all the hardships have been overcome, it is not right to cry no matter how excited you are. In my opinion, it is others who should be crying. Xiaoyu's mother remarried so gloriously, but now she is still living a miserable life..."
My uncle-in-law scolded, "What are you talking about!" He looked at my aunt with eyes that seemed to say, it's unlucky to bring up such things on such a happy day.
Everyone at the table was stunned. Tao Huayu didn't know much about Li Yu's family, and Liu Wangxue and the others knew even less.
Old Li no longer cared. What did a stranger's life have to do with his family? He quickly tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, my aunt just said it casually. It's all in the past."
The aunt also realized that she had spoken too hastily: "Sister-in-law, I am not..."
Grandma held the hand of the great-aunt, knowing that she just wanted to compare, and said angrily: "Let's not talk about the past. What happened to her has nothing to do with our family. It's better for us to live our own lives."
Li Yu also tried to persuade her, and her grandmother happily held his hand again, "My hope for the future is Xiaoyu. If we can see you get married and start a family, your grandfather and I will be able to rest in peace even if we die."
"Grandma, what are you talking about? May you and grandpa live a long life." Li Yuhui held her grandmother's hand and shook it, just like when he was acting like a spoiled child beside her when he was a child.
Tao Huayu picked up the cup and said, "It's such a happy day, let's not talk about these things. Come on, let's clink glasses. I wish grandpa and grandma a long life, and I also wish Xiaoyu a smooth life in the future!"
