Chapter 181 Do you resent your father's death?
(Thanks to the little big friend for casting a monthly vote.)
Why doesn't she dare?
If she wants to, she can certainly do it!
"nonsense!"
Li Youfu glared at Li Shiyang and roared, "Even if I put my head under her knife, she wouldn't dare to cut me!"
"Haha, Grandpa, when you were doing spring plowing, did she buy the seed drill and curved plow from the carpenter?"
no!
That's hers!
She drew the design and had a carpenter make it!
She even presented the picture to the general!
Even if she were to kill two people just for the sake of these two pictures, what difference would it make?
In this territory of Andong, do you think the general will punish her according to the law?
Do you think anyone in the village would dare to report this to the authorities?
Li Shiyang's three questions hit Li Youfu right on the head. Holding the pipe bowl that was now empty of tobacco, Li Youfu opened his mouth in disbelief and asked, "Impossible!"
What good things could her family possibly have?
How could there possibly be such a valuable picture?
When Li Wangguang was alive, he couldn't even pass the imperial examination for a minor degree. Li Wangchun was just a woman who knew a few words and a few folk remedies. How could their family possibly have such a good thing?
That's impossible!
Li Shiyang simply scoffed, no longer wanting to argue with Li Youfu. Instead, he revealed the "secret" he had kept hidden in his heart to Li Youfu.
"The child that Qin Tao lost was not Li Wangguang's, but her second uncle's."
It was just a sentence, but Li Youfu couldn't understand a single word of it.
Li Youfu dropped his pipe onto the kang (a heated brick bed), staring dumbfounded at Li Shiyang, who was drinking tea with his head down: "Shiyang, you...you, what are you saying?"
How could your second uncle possibly have anything to do with Qin Tao!
Your second uncle is dead, so don't try to pin any dirty water on him!
The child Qin Tao lost was hers and Li Wangguang's; both of them admitted it in front of everyone. And now you're saying that the child was your second uncle's?
"Isn't that a joke!"
Li Shiyang raised his head and looked at Li Youfu slowly, saying, "On the way to escape the famine, I followed my second uncle at night and saw him sneak out to meet Qin Tao in secret. I heard him tell Qin Tao that the child in her womb was his."
How could Li Youfu believe it?
Li Youfu certainly didn't want to believe it!
As a result, Li Shiyang said again: "That night, I saw it with Shiyue!"
I followed my second uncle out; she was following Qin Tao.
Grandpa, October really doesn't need to kill you. She just needs to let the whole village know the truth, right?
"At that time, Grandpa, will you still have the nerve to point your finger at her and say, 'You're the clan leader, she's a member of the Li clan, how can you control her?'"
Li Youfu was so enraged by the shocking secret revealed by Li Shiyang that he grabbed the pipe from the kang (a heated brick bed) and threw it at Li Shiyang.
Li Shiyang dodged to the side, and the pipe fell onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
"nonsense!
You're talking nonsense!
impossible!
That's impossible!
How could your second uncle have an affair with Qin Tao and have a child with her?
Your second uncle is the most polite person. He never speaks to the women in other people's houses in the village. Your second uncle...
But Li Youfu fell silent as he spoke, because he recalled that during the busy farming seasons, such as spring plowing and autumn harvest, he always felt most sorry for his son, Li Wangren. He would make Li Shiyang's father work in the fields under the scorching sun, while only instructing Li Wangren to stay home and cook and boil water.
Moreover, every time his family returned from the fields, although there was food in the stove, it was always half-cold, and Li Wangren always got home later than them.
Ask him what he went to do?
Li Wangren said that he went to the mountain to collect firewood after he finished cooking, or that he went to the river to cut grass.
At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now when I think back, how much firewood or weeds were in the basket that Li Wangren carried back?
Li Shiyang was even happier to see that Li Youfu had figured things out.
"Grandpa, now, it's not October who's begging you, it's you who should be begging her!"
Only by following in her footsteps can we, the Li family, benefit and thrive here.
If you really anger her, it's hard to say whether the Li family will still exist in the future.
"Since October's surname is Li, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to create another Li family name using her own surname."
Li Shiyang's patience had run out. After saying all that, he planned to get up and get off the kang (a heated brick bed). He felt that as a descendant of the Li family, he had done enough for the Li family.
Li Youfu and the others wouldn't listen. He wasn't the clan leader, so what was going to happen to the Li family in the future?
He just stopped caring.
He can't control it.
Just as Li Shiyang put one leg on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), he heard Li Youfu on the other side ask him, "Are you holding a grudge about your father's death?"
Do you think I'm biased towards your second uncle?
That's why you let the Japanese pirates kill your second uncle!
Yes or no? "
When his deceased father was mentioned, the smile on Li Shiyang's lips disappeared. He lowered his head, looked at the ground, and fell silent.
"Don't you think so?"
Is it because your father died that you harbored resentment towards your second uncle, which is why you plotted to kill him?
Yes or no! "
When Li Shiyang lowered his head and heard Li Youfu's question, his eyes were filled with hatred!
He certainly hated it!
How could he not hate it!
Fortunately, Li Wangren is dead. He is dead!
He died at the hands of the Japanese pirates!
After a few breaths, Li Shiyang finally answered Li Youfu's question: "Grandpa, what's the use of me hating him or not?"
My father is dead, my second uncle is dead, and my grandfather also wants me to die.
Do you want me to pay for my second uncle's life?
Li Shiyang got off the ground, put on his shoes, and stood at the door tidying his long robe.
Standing at the door, he saw Yu Zhenniang standing outside with a tray through the curtain.
Yes, Yu Zhenniang was already standing at the door. She originally intended to bring a kettle and snacks to Li Shiyang and Li Youfu inside the house to add water and food.
Little did she know that as she stood at the door, about to lift the curtain and go in, she heard Li Youfu's questioning voice and Li Shiyang's revelation that Li Wangren and Qin Tao had been having an affair and had a child!
She was stunned for a moment, and just stood there at the door, motionless.
At this moment, Li Shiyang stood at the door without moving. He winked at Yu Zhenniang, who was standing outside, through the curtain, signaling her to hurry up and leave.
Yu Zhenniang then realized what was happening, and her brain directed her feet to back away, moving nimbly and quickly.
Through the gap in the curtain, watching Yu Zhenniang leave, Li Shiyang straightened the hem of his clothes and said softly to Li Youfu with his back to him, "Grandpa, I'll say it one last time, you have to bow down to Shiyue and let Shiyue lead our Li family to take root, sprout, and multiply here."
"If we miss this opportunity, given the current situation, the Li family is doomed!"
Having said all that, Li Shiyang lifted the curtain and stepped out the door.
Li Youfu was left sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking completely bewildered, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
