Chapter 79 My brother is so old and still so troublesome.
Li Zhen had always assumed that his neighbors were envious of him when they talked behind his back. Whenever this happened, he would unconsciously straighten his back, feeling particularly proud and superior to others. But now…
I can't remember, I can't remember...
He felt like the sky was about to fall, and the culprit behind it all was his grandfather!
Li Zhen stopped running. He felt he needed to calm down, otherwise he feared he would be in deep trouble when he got back.
Yes, he's not angry, he's not angry at all!
No, I can't calm down!
He ran back home and arrogantly kicked open the door—or rather, kicked the open door!
"Brother?" Little Peach Blossom, who was quietly reading in the courtyard, looked up.
Li Zhen glanced around the courtyard. Good, Grandpa wasn't there. He went into the main room to check, but he wasn't there either. He wasn't in the kitchen or the bedrooms either!
"Brother, Master said you like to eat meat, so he went to buy some for you."
"Buy meat?"
"Yes, Master said that he had no choice but to make you suffer a lot in the past, so he wanted to make it up to you. He also said that it was all out of necessity, and everyone wants to live a good life. He had no choice but to make you suffer so much. Master also said that he never dared to tell you this, for fear of hurting you. If you were hurt, Master would be even more hurt and heartbroken."
"Grandpa really said that?"
Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically, but what she didn't say was that these were the words her master had repeatedly told her to tell her brother before leaving. As for the reason, her master didn't say, and Little Peach Blossom didn't ask. She would definitely do what her master instructed.
Seeing Xiao Taohua nod, Li Zhen was moved.
Thinking about it, it really does seem true. He has relied on his grandfather for everything since he was a child. His grandfather must have worked very hard to raise him. Moreover, there was usually no one at the family clinic, and his grandfather's savings were used for food. People around them didn't even associate with his family...
The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt. He thought that the man who had been angry earlier was a terrible person. His grandfather had worked so hard to raise him, and he was still wondering if his grandfather had been lying to him all along!
Li Zhen wiped the tears from his face.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
"It's nothing, just some sand in my eyes."
"I'll blow on the little peach blossom for you, and it will stop your tears."
"Okay, Little Peach Blossom will blow on it for you." Li Zhen squatted down, and Little Peach Blossom stepped forward and blew "whoosh whoosh" into Li Zhen's eyes: "Brother, are you still in pain?"
"There's still a little bit left, let's blow on it a little longer."
“Woo…”
"Blow it again."
“Woo…”
"Blow it again and again."
What could Little Peach Blossom do? She felt that her brother was being affectionate, and since he wanted to be affectionate so much, Little Peach Blossom decided to play along.
Sigh, my brother is so old and still so troublesome.
She needs to keep a close eye on her brother from now on.
In this respect, Little Peach Blossom felt particularly accomplished. This is what it means to be an adult, hehe.
Completely unaware that Xiao Taohua had labeled him as a troublemaker, Li Zhen was particularly smug, thinking that his younger sister was indeed the best and that his grandfather should go to hell.
As for resentment towards her grandfather, with her younger sister around, why should she care about him?
Moreover, Li Zhen had thought it through. It was impossible for him to really fall out with his grandfather. He was afraid of upsetting his grandfather and causing him harm, as his grandfather was his only family. Anyway, he wasn't the kind of person who was easily embarrassed. So what if people pointed fingers at him? So many years had passed, and he had long since lost his sense of shame. If he threw a tantrum now, it would make him seem tasteless.
The saying goes, "If you're not embarrassed, it's others who are."
Anyway, Li Zhen didn't feel embarrassed at all.
He didn't know how long the whistling had gone on, but Li Zhen was squinting and about to fall asleep when suddenly something hit him on the head.
"You brat, are you itching for a beating?! You want Little Peach Blossom to blow your eyes out? You think you're so great?" Tieguai Li had been back for ages, but because he felt guilty seeing Li Zhen, he didn't go in. He just stayed at the door observing the situation. He didn't expect to see Little Peach Blossom blowing her eyes out, and after watching for a while, he realized that this was bullying Little Peach Blossom! This was intolerable. Tieguai Li exploded and threw several cockleburs at Li Zhen's head.
Li Zhen: ...
He touched his head, and good heavens, burrs were practically sticking to his hair. Luckily, his hair was short; if it were long...
"Grandpa, can you please stop throwing things around? What if you throw something at Little Peach Blossom's head!" They're so close, it's not impossible.
"I had my eye on it, how could it have ended up on Little Peach Blossom!"
"Hmph, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, Grandpa. Did you tell outsiders that I have mental problems?!"
Tieguai Li immediately felt guilty: "Is there? No, right?" Ah, no wonder he forgot something, so that's what it was!
Li Zhen sneered: "Ha, confess and you'll be treated leniently!"
Tieguai Li, though not entirely in the right, retorted arrogantly: "What? I'm your grandfather! What's wrong with me saying a few words to you?! Huh, you want to hit your grandfather, don't you?!"
The east wind prevails over the west wind; how could Li Zhen possibly hit his grandfather? Never in his life! "No, Grandpa, you can't turn the tables on me. It's clearly your fault."
“I’m an elder, what wrong have I done? I’m only doing this for your own good. If it weren’t for you, would outsiders think I have a sick grandson? My grandson is good-looking and has good grades. If he weren’t mentally ill, everyone would envy him! Now? Because you’re sick, everyone pities me. Who can I tell about my suffering? I’m so unlucky to have raised such an unfilial grandson, and now he’s blaming me!” After saying this, she couldn’t help but wipe her face and turned her back to Li Zhen and Xiao Taohua.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you're not crying, are you?" Li Zhen was worried. Just now, it sounded like his grandfather was praising him.
"No! How could your grandpa cry!"
Alright, this time he was definitely crying for real. Li Zhen was at a loss for what to do: "Grandpa, I really didn't blame you. I know you were just trying to protect me. It's my fault, it's all my fault. Please don't be sad, okay? Why don't you hit me? Or kick me a few times? I'll just stand here and I definitely won't fight back! Little Peach Blossom, quick, you should also persuade your master. It's all my fault, but we can't let your master be sad anymore."
“Master…” Little Peach Blossom had just taken a step forward when Tieguai Li, who had his back to them, turned around: “Li Zhen, you said it yourself, from now on all our grudges are settled! You have to listen to me and obey me in everything!”
"No, Grandpa, weren't you just crying?" Looking at his grandfather, whose face was completely clear, Li Zhen was shocked, shocked that he seemed to have been deceived again.
Tieguai Li declared confidently, "Didn't I say I wasn't crying!"
Li Zhen: ...
Does this mean that Li Zhen is just being presumptuous and thinking that he is crying?
Li Zhen got angry again.
He felt he was really unlucky to have such a grandfather!
"Alright, you guys play in the yard by yourselves, I'm going in to cook the meat."
Li Zhen remained unmoved; he didn't want to start a fire, he just wanted some peace and quiet.
Little Peach Blossom tilted her head to look at Li Zhen, then turned to look at the kitchen, thinking that her master and brother were sometimes really hard to understand.
