Li Pingwang also felt aggrieved. He was old, with a hunched back and a bent waist. He refused to wear the clothes bought for him by his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang. He only liked to wear this jacket and pants with holes in them, with a towel with holes in it draped around his neck, crying and sneezing.

Everyone who sees them feels pity for them.

He cried to the villagers again and again:

"Hongyan has three sons and she is under a lot of pressure. The Zhao family is poor, so I just wanted to help."

"How could I not care about the eldest brother's family? When they were building the house, they dug up a tree planted on the south side of my field. Did I ask him for money?"

"I'm old, but I can still eat a few bowls of rice. I just want to build a house."

Liu Lanxiang was almost angry to death: "You are so ridiculous for saying this. You can build a house with just a tree? Bricks, cement, tiles, labor costs, everything costs money. How much is your tree worth here? As a father, you have the nerve to ask for it?"

"I won't settle this with you. Why don't you tell everyone clearly that you are not asking for money to repair the house. Are you trying to find ways to ask for money from your Hongyan?"

"Besides, it's not that Hongwei won't repair your house. He told you clearly that the materials and labor costs would all be paid from him, but you didn't listen."

Li Hongwei was not good at speaking, so she was anxious to explain to the neighbors around her.

Over the years, this father-in-law has been ruining Li Hongwei's reputation everywhere.

He is disobedient and selfish. Even when his elder sister couldn't make ends meet, he refused to lend her a penny. He is inherently unkind and is far inferior to Hong Jianhong.

If you are not filial, you won't see any respect from him all year round.

It is obvious that every year she buys food, drinks and clothes for her parents-in-law just to shut her elder sister-in-law Li Hongyan up.

"Stop talking. We all understand it in our hearts. He won't listen even if we say this." Everyone advised Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang to stop talking.

The couple knew very well that what Li Pingwang said was a mixture of truth and lies. People who didn't know the inside story might be deceived by him and really think that Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were unfilial.

But the villagers knew clearly that it was Li Pingwang, as the elder, who was being unfair.

The couple are the ones who are wronged.

"Brother, didn't the boy tell you that he would build your house? He will build it right away. Don't worry. If he doesn't build it, we will talk to him later." Someone who was of the same generation as Li Pingwang tried to smooth things over with him.

Li Pingwang was being advised by everyone, and while others were trying to stop while they were ahead, he became more and more motivated.

"It's not easy for Hongyan..."

"It's not easy for my son-in-law to shine..."

"All three boys want to get married, but now they have no house and can't get married. Hongyan is so worried that she can't sleep..."

He complained to everyone around him, hoping someone would speak up for him. He was not being unreasonable, it was just that his eldest daughter Hongyan was having a hard time.

"I'm a father, I can't just ignore her."

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and shouted from outside the crowd, "I heard that your Hongli's son-in-law wants to divorce her before her baby is even a month old. Have you been to see what's going on? What's going on? Can they still live like this?"

"Yes, I heard that Hongli is having a hard time. If she is bullied, you must go and help her out. Don't let her in-laws bully her."

Li Pingwang's tears suddenly stopped.

"I, I don't care about her. I'm already so old..."

The first thing he said when he opened his mouth was the excuse that he didn't know how much money it was.

But this time, after he said it, he took a moment to react and felt that what he said was inappropriate.

But she quickly found an excuse: "Hongli has been disobedient since she was young. She is not even half as sensible as her older sister Hongyan. She doesn't know how to study hard, and she only knows how to cause trouble for the family all day long..."

Anyway, for various reasons, since Li Hongli is not as sensible and obedient as Li Hongyan, he doesn't care about her, and she deserves it.

In the eyes of their parents, whichever children they say are filial are the ones who are filial, and whichever children they say are unfilial are the ones who are unfilial.

No matter how miserable your children are, there is nothing you can do if they have such biased parents.

Li Pingwang was finally persuaded to leave. Li Hongwei was extremely angry and Liu Lanxiang couldn't even eat.

"Repair it, repair it for him, fix the house and see what he wants to do in the future." Li Hongwei said angrily.

He didn't care that it was the busy farming season. He went to talk to people with a cigarette in hand, saying that the house could be repaired quickly and that it would only take seven or eight days at most if he found four or five people.

On this side, Li Pingwang was still thinking about how to get the money.

Suddenly, he saw the boss Li Hongwei leading a group of people to come and repair his house.

They were all the people in the village who built houses for others. Repairing houses was very simple for them and they knew each other well. Li Pingwang had nothing to say in front of these people. He just wanted money and there was no rush to repair the houses.

What he meant was that his eldest daughter Hongyan was worried about the wedding house for his eldest son Zhao Pengfei. After taking this money, she could scrape together some more money for the down payment. Once she had a house, it would be easier for her to get married.

As a result, not a penny was seen.

He was a little panicked, and couldn't even eat the steamed bun in his hand, so he quickly put it in the bowl: "Fix it today? Then where do I live?"

"The fourth brother's house is empty. You can stay at his place for the next few days." Li Hongwei said expressionlessly, "If you don't want to go, you can stay at my place."

Li Pingwang didn't mean that, he just wanted money.

Li Hongwei brought a group of people to check the entire house. They reinforced the walls that needed to be reinforced and replaced the tiles on the roof that needed to be replaced. The problem of leaking was solved immediately.

Li Pingwang didn't even need to move, he could just live in several houses in rotation.

Within three days, the house was actually repaired. The wooden windows with paper on them in the bedroom were directly replaced with glass windows, and the light became much brighter.

The shabby kitchen was renovated with a big stove, tiled, and easy to clean. Two more cupboards were built and placed against the wall, with pots and pans neatly arranged. Even a small room was built for the dog kennel in the yard.

Li Pingwang calmed down and looked at his newly renovated house again and again. He felt inexplicably more comfortable. It indeed looked clean and was much more comfortable to live in.

But soon, she started to worry again when she remembered that Pengfei didn’t have a house yet.

As for Li Hongyan, Zhao Xueyan would talk to her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang about anything.

As for Li Hongjian, he would talk to his elder sister Li Hongyan about everything. In his eyes, his elder sister Li Hongyan was smart and had many ideas, so he would go to his elder sister.

The matter of Li Hongli.

Li Hongyan didn't care. She endured for three days before returning to Lijia Village to find her father Li Pingwang.

Some villagers like to laugh at her and asked her, "Hongyan, you've been busy these days. Your father is renovating the house. This is a big deal. Why don't you come with your son-in-law to help?"

Li Hongyan quickly explained: "Oh, it's just a coincidence. We were not at home these two days."

After saying that, he rode his bike very fast.

Then he gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's none of your business."

Several old ladies in the village were still laughing.

"Not being home is just an excuse. She just doesn't want to come to work."

"She is very smart. She won't touch anything that is not good for her."
