Grandpa Li and Grandma Li looked at Li Pengxuan in disbelief.
Grandma Li took Li Zhao's hand and led him into the room, "Xiao Zhao, go in first."
Grandpa Li slammed the gate of his yard shut and hit Li Pengxuan hard with the cane in his hand.
"You dare to hit Xiaozhao! You dare to hit Xiaozhao! Li Pengxuan, you are so bold! How dare you do this to Xiaozhao? I will beat you to death!"
Grandpa Li used all his strength to hit Li Pengxuan.
Li Pengxuan quickly dodged.
"Dad, Dad, you can't be unreasonable. I hit him for a reason." Li Pengxuan said while dodging.
Grandpa Li smoked enough and then stood there panting with his cane.
"Dad, you don't know how much Xiaozhao goes against the grain at home." Li Pengxuan was also panting and standing a meter away from Grandpa Li. "He bullies Su'e at home."
"How did he bully that woman? Tell me." Grandpa Li looked at Li Pengxuan and said.
Xiaozhao was almost raised by him and Grandma Li, and they knew the child's temper very well.
When Grandma Li suggested finding a stepmother for him, anyone could see that Li Zhao was resisting.
But when Grandma Li mentioned that Dad was too lonely, he agreed.
Given the child's character, it is impossible for him to cause trouble for his stepmother, but the same may not be true for his stepmother.
Grandpa Li regrets it now. The woman is young and can give birth to a child. Naturally, she is thinking about the Li family's things, and Xiaozhao is the thorn in her heart. She can't be too nice to this child.
The more Grandpa Li thought about it, the more regretful he became. If he had known earlier, he would have let his son remain single until Xiaozhao became an adult.
Now it’s the old couple who are cheating the child.
"He was rude to Su'e yesterday, and today he even refused to eat."
"Is it the child who doesn't want to eat, or is it that woman who doesn't let him eat? Were you at the scene? Did you see it?" Grandpa Li asked.
"I didn't. I heard it from Su'e. Su'e said Xiaozhao..."
"You two are saying different things. Why don't you trust the child you've raised for thirteen years, but trust your wife, whom you've been married to for less than six months? Tell me why."
Li Pengxuan was speechless after being questioned by Grandpa Li.
"You've watched Xiaozhao grow up. You don't know his temperament. How could he do something like that?"
"But Su'e..."
"What Su'e? How long have you known her? How could such a short time have caused you to lose all trust in your son? Li Pengxuan, you're still a leader, you're so confused."
Grandpa Li caught Li Pengxuan and scolded him for a while, and finally Li Pengxuan calmed down.
"Maybe there was a misunderstanding between Xiaozhao and Su'e. I really shouldn't have hit Xiaozhao today. I should have communicated with him properly."
Grandpa Li snorted.
"Xiaozhao will live in our house. It's Xiaozhao's birthday in a few days. Buy him a bicycle as a birthday present to ease the relationship between you and your son."
"It will be more convenient for the child to ride a bicycle to and from school. It's better than having to endure the pressure at your house."
After saying this, Grandpa Li turned around and went back to the yard, slamming the gate shut.
Li Pengxuan stood at the door. He recalled beating Li Zhao. At that time, the look in Li Zhao's eyes was full of shock, disbelief and sadness.
Looking back now, Li Pengxuan himself felt a little uncomfortable.
He turned around and went back. When he got home, Bai Su'e was standing at the door on tiptoe looking around. When she saw Li Pengxuan coming back, she hurried to meet him.
"Pengxuan, Xiaozhao..."
Her eyes were full of concern, and Li Pengxuan was sure that he was not mistaken. Su'e was a kind-hearted woman.
"He's staying at my parents' house. There must be a misunderstanding between you. The child is not a bad person."
"I know that children are young and tend to get stuck in a rut. Don't be too harsh on them. It's not good to make them sad." Bai Su'e said hurriedly.
Li Pengxuan nodded, put his arm around Bai Su'e's shoulders and they went back to the room together.
"Su'e, I'm sorry for wronging you."
"I'm not wronged." Bai Su'e said hurriedly.
She comforted Li Pengxuan gently for a while, then reheated the food and poured Li Pengxuan some wine.
Li Pengxuan was taken care of very well by Bai Su'e.
When the two of them went to bed at night, Bai Su'e was also extremely proactive and enthusiastic.
Any slight dissatisfaction Li Pengxuan had with Bai Su'e also disappeared.
The two of them lived in sweet love for a few days.
Li Zhao's birthday is coming soon, and Bai Su'e accidentally finds industrial coupons in Li Pengxuan's bag.
In fact, it was not surprising. She would secretly check Li Pengxuan's bag, but she would not say it. She just wanted to know how much money Li Pengxuan had.
Then, based on where his money went, how much of Li Pengxuan's money was spent at home? How much of it was spent solely on Li Zhao?
As his wife, Bai Su'e felt that she had to know this information.
When Bai Su'e saw the industrial vouchers, what did she suddenly think of?
She remembered that one night, Li Pengxuan drank some wine and said that he would buy a bicycle for Xiaozhao in two days, and asked her to prepare the money. The bicycle would be Li Zhao's birthday gift.
By then, the relationship between father and son will be eased.
Bai Su'e agreed with the idea of easing the relationship on the surface, but she disagreed in her heart.
She hesitated for a moment with the industrial voucher, then excitedly went to the department store and bought herself a watch.
Industrial coupons are very difficult to find these days. Li Pengxuan had to work with many people to exchange for this one.
When Li Pengxuan came back in the evening, Bai Su'e held up the watch on her wrist and said excitedly, "Pengxuan, look!"
“When did you buy the watch?”
"Didn't you want to buy me a watch? I saw the industrial coupons you put in your bag, and since you were busy, I bought it myself."
"When did I say I would buy you a watch? You used my industrial vouchers!"
Li Pengxuan was stunned for a moment.
"It was you who said you would buy me a watch that night to comfort me."
Bai Su'e looked at Li Pengxuan with misty eyes.
Anyway, he drank too much that night and couldn't remember what he said exactly.
Bai Su'e's eyes were full of confidence and hurt, which made Li Pengxuan mistakenly believe that he had really said such words.
He sighed, "This industrial voucher is for me to buy a bicycle for Xiaozhao."
"I've already bought the watch, what should I do? I'm not sure if I can return it. I'm going to return it tomorrow."
As Bai Su'e spoke, she took off her watch and tears fell down her face. She looked really aggrieved and pitiful.
"Forget it, you take it. It's rare that you like something. I'll buy it for Xiaozhao next time."
Three days later, it was Li Zhao’s birthday.
Grandpa Li had told Li Zhao a long time ago that his father bought him a bicycle in order to ease their relationship so that he could ride the bicycle to and from school.
