Chen Xiaoying didn’t know that her eldest son Li Hongwei had come up with this idea, otherwise, she would have scolded him on the spot: Raising a child is just about giving him food, is it that simple?

After Li Pingwang finished speaking, he went back.

Liu Lanxiang couldn't help asking about Li Hongli's situation, and Li Hongwei told her about it. He was a person who always had a sense of responsibility towards his younger brothers and sisters, and he would stand up for anyone who was bullied.

If the child Li Hongli has nowhere to go by then.

He said, "Anyway, our Xiaoyu and Yuhan have grown up. One is in college, and the other is in the third year of junior high school. They live in the school dormitory and don't come back often. Why don't we just bring the children here and raise them for us..."

When Liu Lanxiang heard this, she was completely stunned. She threw the food on the chopping board with a snap. "I raised two daughters with great difficulty, and I am still raising a child for Li Hongli? Are you crazy?"

It was the first time that Liu Lanxiang got angry in front of Li Hongwei.

Li Hongwei has a bad temper, so she usually avoids him, but this time he really ignited her powder keg.

It can be said that both daughters were raised by Li Hongwei. She never asked for help from them. Even when it came to paying tuition and book fees, she had worked hard, and she got half of the food.

He said to bring it back, so he brought it back.

Oh, his sister is easy to marry, so what should she do?

Such a baby needs to have his diaper changed several times at night and be fed with formula, which costs money and manpower. Why should she make so much effort?

If Li Hongli said something to her, "Is that okay?" If she didn't lead well, Li Hongli would definitely find fault with her and despise her.

What does she want? Why would she raise a child for Li Hongli?

"I just said that. It's not certain who will raise the child," said Li Hongwei.

Liu Lanxiang said coldly: "If you dare to bring this child back home, you have to raise him yourself and wash his poop and diapers yourself."

Li Hongwei glared at her and said nothing.

The couple was arguing, and the courtyard in the countryside was not very soundproof, so even passers-by could hear it. Some curious people went to Li Pingwang to ask about it.

"I heard that Hongli is not living with her son-in-law anymore? Is the child going to be raised by your eldest and his wife?"

Li Pingwang immediately frowned: "They all don't listen to me, so I don't care what they want to do."

Li Pingwang has always been like this.

Except for his daughter Li Hongyan, he would not even go to see any of his sons if anything happened.

Just like a stepfather.

Li Pingwang thought about it and decided to go find Li Hongwei.

Li Hongwei was just like Liu Lanxiang at the beginning. He thought that he had to ask about his second sister Li Hongli. After all, she had just given birth to a child. It was a very serious matter for a man to ask for a divorce, and a newborn child was involved.

As a result, his father Li Pingwang said directly: "The house has to be repaired. If you don't want to repair it for me, then rebuild it. See how much it costs, and give me the money."

Liu Lanxiang just looked at Li Hongwei.

Li Hongwei has suffered for decades and he knew early on that the money should not be in his father's hands. Giving it to him would be equivalent to giving it to his elder sister Li Hongyan.

"So do you want to build it or repair it? I'll find someone for you. You can pay for the materials and labor costs from me."

When Li Pingwang heard this, he knew that it was his son who left him alone.

"You don't listen to me, do you? I told you to give me the money and do whatever I want with it. You don't have to bother me."

Seeing his father getting angry, Li Hongwei didn't care: "If you want to do this, then I have no money."

"Li Hongwei, ah Li Hongwei, you are such a good-for-nothing. I raised you up. People say that raising a son is a support for old age, raising a son is a support for old age. That's how you raised me. Your dad's house is in such a mess. On rainy days, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside. I have to carry bottles and jars everywhere all night long..." Li Pingwang's eyes were red, and he began to tell Li Hongwei about his grievances.

"I couldn't sleep all night. I'm so old. How many days do I have left to live? Can't you let me have two days of peace?"

"Dad, I didn't say I won't repair it for you. You can even rebuild it. But I can't give you the money. If I give you the money, it will fly away." Li Hongwei said unhappily.

"Why do you care where the money went? Just give it to me. I appreciate your kindness, that's all." Li Pingwang said with his eyes wide open.

After he said that, Li Hongwei understood.

What's the point of building a house? It's just finding a way to get money from him.

Needless to say, they were all made for his elder sister Li Hongyan.

Li Hongwei was so angry that he just stiffened his neck and didn't answer.

"It's all you who instigated. My sons are all obedient, except the eldest son. It's all because he married you." Li Pingwang started cursing, even scolding Liu Lanxiang.

Liu Lanxiang said angrily, "What does it have to do with me? I married your son, so how can I enjoy my life? Other parents-in-law know to help their daughter-in-law take care of the baby, and you take care of the eldest daughter. Other parents-in-law know to help their son live a good life, but you two are only focused on helping the married daughter. Others have their own parents-in-law, so they don't need you. You are so ridiculous."

"Stop talking." Li Hongwei looked at someone passing by the door and asked his wife to stop talking.

He couldn't bear it when his wife quarreled with his father.

"What do you mean? I just don't want to see the child, so what? Why should I see the child you gave birth to? If you are not satisfied, then don't live in my Li family and go back to your Liu family." Li Pingwang scolded her angrily.

Liu Lanxiang's temper now is no longer the same as it was in the past.

Now she has money, a house in the city, and her eldest daughter Li Yutong is reliable. She will not starve to death if she leaves this house.

"I'm Xiaoyu and Yuhan's mother. My parents paid for half of the money to build this house. Why are you chasing me away?" She had an argument with her father-in-law for the first time.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Li Hongwei didn't want to hear such words from his father.

Just because he didn't give him money, he was going to drive his wife away?

"You are a good father-in-law. Fortunately, my mother woke up early, otherwise you would have broken up this family. The second son's house is about to collapse, and his wife said she wanted to repair it, but you scolded her and sent her back to her parents' home. The third son lives with you, but you scold her for being lazy every day. The fourth son's wife is lazy, but she has a house, so you rush to help. You can never tell the priorities apart. Whichever side has a better life, the more you lean towards that side."

"Which side has a bad life? It's a joke. You are more disgusting than the people in the village. They are all born by you, but you despise the poor and love the rich."

Liu Lanxiang has been suffering from her father-in-law's bullying for twenty or thirty years, and today she can't bear it anymore.

"You dare to yell at me? Go out and ask whose daughter-in-law is as capable as you. Go out and ask around!" Li Pingwang pointed at Liu Lanxiang and kept scolding her.

The quarrel was so loud that even the neighbors came over to try to stop them.

"Hongwei, you too, your dad is so old, what should you do if you're worried that he'll get angry?"

"Lanxiang, stop yelling. He's old, so he's a little confused. You can't make this logic clear to him, so stop talking."

Everyone in the entire Lijia Village knew that Li Pingwang only had his eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, in his heart, and his other children were all picked up from cracks in the rocks.
