Chapter 257 The Li Family Goes to See Li Yingdi
Although the Li family members stopped talking due to the authority of Old Man Li, they all looked unconvinced.
Old Man Li knew that everyone in the family had their own thoughts. Even he himself was blaming his wife. She hadn't even informed him of such a big thing beforehand.
But no matter how angry he was, now that Gu Yan had come to his door, the problem still needed to be solved, otherwise the whole family would be in trouble. Gu Yan didn't care whose idea it was.
Old man Li glanced sharply at the large group of people from the Li family and asked in a deep voice:
"Speak up! Why are you all so silent now? Weren't you arguing so fiercely just now? Now you can't even come up with a solution?"
Mrs. Li felt very resentful when she heard what Old Man Li said. It was clearly Mother Li, the third son's family, and Li Yingdi who had caused the trouble, but they had to bear the responsibility as a whole family.
The most important thing is that the marriage with Gu Yan's family was not discussed with them. Even if there are benefits in the future, it will not fall on their family.
Mrs. Li thought so. Although she didn't dare to confront Old Man Li openly, she would resist secretly.
For example, when Old Man Li asked them if they had any ideas, Mrs. Li stood silently by and said nothing. Not only did Mrs. Li remain silent, she also prevented her husband, Li Dalang, from speaking.
Old man Li looked at the silent family and could guess what they were thinking, so he said directly:
"Old woman, take out the bacon and sausages that we hung out to dry during the New Year, and take the silver to the town to buy some good cloth. Come with me to Gu Yan's house to apologize."
Mrs. Li was a little reluctant, so she said hesitantly:
"Old man, this isn't necessary. Gu Yan and his family are so rich, don't they need our bacon, sausages, and a few pieces of cloth?"
Old man Li felt very helpless, and it was also because he was used to letting his wife take the lead when something happened.
It was because of this unreasonable and unreasonable method that Old Lady Li was able to run rampant in their village for so many years.
But Old Lady Li didn't think about it. Could Gu Yan be like the people in the village? In the village, big things usually get small and then it's over. But Gu Yan really dared to force them to go to the officials.
Thinking of this, Old Man Li said one more sentence.
"Old woman, don't just think about this little money. Think about our eldest grandson who will go to the county to study in the future. If there is a stain on our family, how will his father and son look at him in the future?"
When Old Man Li mentioned his most cherished grandson, Old Lady Li suddenly lost her temper and said:
"I understand. I'll go prepare things right away."
After saying this, Old Lady Li went into the house to get the silver.
If it only involved bacon and sausage, Mrs. Li might have been able to hold back her anger, after all, if she didn't eat a few bites, she wouldn't have eaten it.
But when it comes to money, it won't work. That's public money, saved by the whole family. How can they just give it away like that?
Li Dalang is the eldest son in their family and will inherit the family business in the future. If this huge amount of silver is given away like this, what will Li Dalang have to inherit in the future? Mrs. Li started to calculate in her mind.
However, Mrs. Li did not speak immediately, but looked at Mrs. Li Er who was standing beside her.
As expected, Li Ersao next to her also showed a very reluctant look on her face.
Mrs. Li's eyes turned and she had an idea in her mind. She knew very well that if she directly asked her father-in-law not to give the money to Gu Yan, he would definitely not agree.
Then she had to find another way to achieve her goal, and Mrs. Li thought of a perfect candidate.
That’s Li Yingdi!
The first reason is that this matter was ultimately instigated by Li Yingdi. If Li Yingdi had not gone back to her parents' home to make irresponsible remarks and instigated Li's mother and the third daughter-in-law, her mother and the third daughter-in-law would not have come up with the idea of arranging a marriage between Xiaohai and Xuexue from Gu Yan's family.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yingdi is not valued in her mother's family. Just by listening to her name, you can tell that Li Yingdi is a person who is sucked dry by the Li family.
Even Li's mother, who seemed to be very kind to her daughter, only used words to coax Li Yingdi so that she would be more devoted to getting things for the Li family.
But then again, if Li Yingdi was highly regarded in the Li family, Mrs. Li would not dare to bring Li Yingdi up with her even if she had eight hundred guts.
Mrs. Li sorted out her thoughts and felt that the person she had chosen was very good and had a high chance of success, so she said:
"Dad, Mom, I'm not gossiping, but this whole thing in our family was caused entirely by my eldest sister. If only I could ask her about it and make sure she informed Gu Yan and the others in advance.
Even if Gu Yan and the others still disagree with this child marriage, they wouldn't kick my mother and my younger sister out of the house in public, right? "
Mrs. Li's words were unanimously agreed by the other members of the Li family, especially the third wife. She felt a burning pain on her face when she thought about being kicked out in front of Manager Liu's daughter-in-law.
It turned out that Li Yingdi was not blamed for acting on her own because she still had an unrealistic fantasy that her own Xiaohai could be engaged to Gu Yan's Xuexue.
Now that Gu Yan has come, it means that Xiao Hai and Xue Xue will definitely not be married. There is no need for the third family to flatter Li Ying Di anymore, and they immediately agreed:
"If you ask me, what my sister-in-law said is right. If it weren't for Li Yingdi fanning the flames here, always saying that their Gu Bei is Gu Yan's biological brother, he would definitely give us this face. My mother and I wouldn't have rushed to the Gu family and suffered their humiliation. Now we have to pay compensation."
Since the third son's wife said so, it was impossible for Li Ersao to stand by and watch. After all, this also involved her own vital interests.
Mrs. Li Er joined in the conversation:
"I agree with my elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law. However, my elder sister is my elder sister after all. Since we are still a family, there is no need for her to apologize to us. I can just let her compensate them with the money and give them some extra compensation for their emotional distress."
When it came to the fact that her family could get extra compensation, Li Ersao's already small eyes looked even more cunning.
Li said that when the others heard Li Ersao's plan, their eyes lit up. Even Li's mother was no exception. They all looked at Old Man Li eagerly, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Old man Li knew very well that this was an unexpected disaster for Li Yingdi, but he didn't care about his daughter. He cared more about whether his family was living a good life.
So Old Man Li immediately made the decision and said:
"This matter is indeed the eldest girl's responsibility. Let's go find her now and ask her to pay compensation."
