Zhu Hongping covered his chest, feeling sorry for the money for a while, and then he remembered something, "Li, where did you get so much money?"
"Where else can I get it? Of course I have to borrow it from someone."
Zhu Hongping curled his lips and said, "Then don't you have any private money?"
How could Li Li dare to say that she had lost all her private money in business? "The little private money I had was taken away by Zhijie a long time ago. I don't have a penny on me now, and Lao Ling is unwilling to give me money now..."
When Zhu Hongping heard that Ling Jiang was unwilling to give money to his daughter, he immediately went to him with a frown to seek an explanation, but was stopped by Li Li with some persuasion.
"Okay, you just came out, take a break first, we can worry about the money later."
Only then did Zhu Hongping give up.
Normally, Ling Jiang would cook some noodles to save time at night so that he could go out to do business. Tonight, Zhu Hongping was there, so he specially cooked a pot of white rice, stir-fried some sour beans, and made a vegetable and egg drop soup.
Although he had tried his best to be considerate, Zhu Hongping still disliked him.
"The soup is so watery that there's not even a bit of meat to be seen."
Even Li Li felt that her mother was being too picky. "Mom, it's so late. Where can we buy meat? Just eat what you have."
"If I can't buy it at night, can't I buy it during the day? Sons-in-law buy gold and silver for their mothers-in-law, but I can't even eat a bite of meat. I think you just want to make me unhappy."
Ling Jiang didn't say a word from beginning to end. He ate the rice with two spoonfuls of sour beans. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said hello to Zhu Hongping, "Mom, take your time eating. I'm going out to do business."
After getting used to going out to do business with Ling Jiang, Ling Chunhua also developed her eating speed.
As soon as Ling Jiang stood up, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, "I'm done eating too."
After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his room, put on his schoolbag, and caught up with Ling Jiang in a flash.
Zhu Hongping didn't come to his senses until the father and daughter were out of the house. "What's wrong with my son-in-law? Why did he bring Chunhua with him when he went out to do business?"
It would have been better if she didn't mention it. As soon as Li Li was mentioned, she became so angry that she complained to Zhu Hongping about Ling Jiang's recent behavior.
Zhu Hongping was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "This is too much, he is so rebellious, he doesn't love his son, but instead he loves a money-losing girl, is he mentally ill?"
Seeing that his daughter was hesitant to speak, Zhu Hongping's face changed slightly as if he had thought of something. He turned around and touched his grandson's head, "Jia Le, be good, go out and play in the yard for a while."
Ling Jiale was used to being greedy and didn't like eating white rice and sour beans at all. Upon hearing this, he clamored for malted milk.
In order to get rid of her son, Li Li had to get up and take a cup to make half a cup.
When Ling Jiale happily went out to play with malted milk, Zhu Hongping couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Now you are willing to buy malted milk for Jiale to drink, and you still say you have no money. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will borrow money from you?"
Did you pay back the money you borrowed? Did you pay back even half of it? Li Li was not happy and said angrily, "I didn't buy it. Old Ling bought it last time to apologize to Wei, and I took it back."
Zhu Hongping got excited again after hearing this, "Okay, I told you that they were having an affair, but you still didn't believe me! If they weren't having an affair, would Ling be willing to buy such a good thing for that woman? That woman is dressed seductively, and it's obvious at first glance that she's not a good person, bah, a shameless slut..."
"Mom, stop being suspicious. Wei is pretty and rich, why would she be so desperate to find someone like Lao Ling? Lao Ling is a quiet person who can't even say a word even if you hit him with eight sticks. Even I look down on him. Do you really think he is a treasure that everyone wants?"
Zhu Hongping was not convinced, "What if she likes a strong guy like Lao Ling?"
Thinking of the number of times she and her husband had sex, which could be counted on one hand, Li Li almost laughed out of anger, "What's so strong about it? It's just a silver-plated spear head, a thing that looks good but is useless."
Li Li's face changed, "Impossible! Mom, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing his daughter's face turn pale with fear, Zhu Hongping couldn't help but say in disgust, "What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of? Even if he knows, as long as you deny it, what can he do to you?"
The old things hidden in her heart were brought up, and Li Li was flustered for a moment, "Mom, don't mention this matter anymore, let's eat first, I have something to tell you after that."
Zhu Hongping curled his lips and said nothing more.
After dinner, Li Li cleared the table and then took Zhu Hongping back to the room to talk about Zeng Fang's pregnancy.
When she learned that she was pregnant with a son, Zhu Hongping was so happy that it was like New Year's Day and she couldn't stop smiling.
"No, we can't let her get rid of this baby. We have to find her! We have to let her give birth to Zhijie's baby no matter what."
Zhu Hongping did what he said and immediately took Li Li to find Zeng Fang.
Li Li quickly stopped them, "Mom, we can't go like this. It's useless to go. The Zeng family is rich and powerful. We will definitely suffer a great loss if we go to their house like this."
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch her get rid of Zhijie's child?"

"I've thought of a way. Let's go to Zeng's school and make a big fuss about this in front of everyone. Then Zeng will be too embarrassed to live like a human being. We can then take the opportunity to ask her to marry Zhijie. In this way, Zhijie will not only have a son and a daughter-in-law, but also a rich and powerful father-in-law. Maybe we can even rescue Zhijie. Then our Li family can also benefit from the Zeng family, killing two birds with one stone."
Zhu Hongping nodded repeatedly, his face glowing with excitement, "Yes, yes, Li, you are still thoughtful, let's do it!"
Immediately, the mother and daughter began to whisper about going to the school to find Zeng Fang and make a scene.

Courtyard.
Yun Mo was getting ready to go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.
By the time she got dressed and went out, Ling Chuan had already opened the door.
Seeing the person outside the door, Yun Mo's heart sank slightly, "Come in."
After the visitor entered, Ling Chuan closed the door, turned around, and watched the strange man in a black shirt and a black hat being led home by his wife. He felt inexplicably uneasy and worried.
Although he didn't know the man's identity or what he did, he had a hunch that he was not doing a decent job.
Thinking of this, he raised his foot and followed.
Seeing Ling Chuan also followed into the main hall, Yun Mo didn't say anything, but just asked the visitor, "Is there any urgent news?"
Xu Lixue took off his hat and said, "It's something urgent. It's not convenient for you to answer the phone here, so I have to come to your house in person."
As he spoke, Xu Lixue handed her a tape and said, "Ms. Yun, please listen to this first. I'll leave it to you to decide what to do."
"good."
