I’m afraid he will do something to this house.
"No, you have to write my name on it." He said, "It wasn't easy for me to raise you. You should give me a house as a gift."
Li Hongwei was furious when he heard this: "The house costs 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and all my savings over the years are in it. What should I do if you give the house to someone else?"
"What can I do? It was not easy for me to raise you. Have I ever calculated the money from you?" Li Pingwang said, "If I want to calculate the money, then I will pay for your food and clothes from the moment you are born. I will pay for your schooling, find you a wife, and build you a house..."
In Li Pingwang's eyes, as long as he contributed a dime, it seemed that all the credit was his.
For example, when building a house, he only contributed a tree planted in the field to make a beam on the roof, and he dared to say, I built a house for you!
It seems that bricks, tiles and cement were all blown by the strong wind.
Or is it originally grown on the house? Just put this piece of wood on it and you can live in it!
He spent one cent on his son, and now forty years have passed. He calculated forty times and ended up owing Li Hongwei a huge debt of two hundred thousand.
Li Hongwei stood up with a rage on his face: "If you want to settle accounts with me like this, are you also going to settle accounts with my elder sister like this? Fine, it wasn't easy for you to raise me, I will give it to you, as long as Li Hongyan agrees to give it to you, I will also give it to you, I will sell my blood to pay you back!"
He stormed off.
Li Pingwang's old face showed signs of crying again, and tears fell as he spoke: "I am so old..."
"Dad, stop talking. You just went a little too far." said the second son Li Hongjian.
He is a few years younger than his eldest brother. From childhood to adulthood, his eldest brother has been helping his parents raise his younger brothers and sisters. The family is not supported by his father alone. His father works in other people's fields. When his father is a good man, it is his eldest brother who takes them to work in their own fields.
How come his dad can only count his own contribution and not his eldest brother’s?
"You're still criticizing me? You're also a loser. Others can earn tens of thousands a year by working outside. How much do you earn in the whole year?" Li Pingwang also became angry with the second brother Li Hongjian.
The fourth child, Li Honggang, had not spoken a word until now. At this moment, he stood up and said, "Dad, I will go back if it's alright."
"Go, go, go, all of you go. Just think that I have raised a bunch of ungrateful wolves all my life—" Li Pingwang scolded Li Honggang mercilessly.
But Li Honggang didn't feel anything.
Just left without any hesitation.
The second son, Li Hongjian, did not stay either. They all went back to the county town to earn money.
As for Li Pingwang, he did not get the house, and the alimony was reduced to 200 yuan. Li Hongyan was completely disappointed, and she did not dare to mention this matter.
She ran to find Li Hongli.
She is concerned about Li Hongli's divorce.
"Hongli, have you ever thought about what you are going to do after you divorce Xu Xiaodong?"
"Are you planning on finding someone else to marry, or are you just going to live on your own with Xiaoni?"
Li Hongli was lying on the sofa, watching TV without even raising her head.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Li Hongyan said to her: "Why don't you have any plan at all? What are you going to do so that I can help you."
Li Hongli then looked at Li Hongyan: "Sister, please think about it for me, what should I do?"
Some women, who are trapped in such a broken marriage, don't want to look for another man for at least one or two years after the divorce, because they feel they have seen through the nature of men.
But Li Hongli, she is now eager to find a man who is richer and better looking than Xu Xiaodong, bring him to Xu Xiaodong, and let him see that with her ability, even without Xu Xiaodong, she can still find a better one.
Li Hongyan looked at her second sister Li Hongli's eager eyes, which were almost shining, and smiled: "As a woman, not being able to give birth does not mean that you will never get married. What kind of man do you want to find? I will help you find one later."
Li Hongli thought for a while: "A hukou in the county, a house, a formal job, a height of more than 1.78 meters, at least several times better than Xu Xiaodong's appearance, gentle and considerate, responsible, and knows how to love his wife. After marriage, the salary must be handed over to me for safekeeping. Oh, and my parents-in-law can't live with me..."
Li Hongyan's face turned dark as she listened.
How dare you, a remarried person who can't have children, make such a request?
How many girls in the county are vying for a man with such conditions? How can it be your turn?
He's already been married once, but his brain is still full of confusion.
"Sister, what do you think?" Li Hongli asked excitedly.
Li Hongyan said unhappily, "People always say that a good match is made in heaven. You require the man to have such good conditions. What conditions do you have?"
"Do you have any, what is it called, self, no, self? Self-awareness?"
Li Hongli pouted unhappily and said, "My conditions are not bad. Apart from being divorced once and being unable to have children, I am only 23 years old, young, and I also have this house."
Li Hongyan was curious about whether her mother would give the house to Li Hongli in the end, so she couldn't help asking, "Our mother said that this house will be given to you as a dowry?"
Li Hongli's eyes were a little evasive: "Mom said that I can live in it for the rest of my life."
"Oh." Li Hongyan understood: "Then it's not yours yet."
"So do you have the final say over this house?"
Seeing that Pengfei's girlfriend was asking for the house but there was no response from her, she became angry.
Li Hongli fell back on the sofa dejectedly under the gaze of her elder sister Li Hongyan. "It definitely doesn't count. Mom is almost mad at me now. She has said several times that she will cut off all ties with me. How could she possibly give me a house as a dowry?"
Li Hongyan had no choice but to say, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll look for a suitable family later and tell you then."
Women are all supposed to get married. I've never heard of a woman being able to live alone her entire life.
Chen Xiaoying didn't know about the affairs of the sisters Li Hongyan and Li Hongli.
Xu Xiaodong came to see her.
"Have you thought it through?" Chen Xiaoying asked straight to the point.
Xu Xiaodong nodded: "Think it through, and get the divorce certificate quickly."
He looked like he was suppressing his anger. Chen Xiaoying sneered, "Are you trying to show me a bad face?"
"Now it's you who are begging Li Hongli to divorce, not us who are begging you?"
Xu Xiaodong was furious when she recalled Yu Xiaona's complaints to her: "We had already agreed to divorce, but Li Hongli and her elder sister went to Xiaona's house to cause trouble. What does your family mean?"
"Making trouble?" Chen Xiaoying looked confused. How could she not know?
When Xu Xiaodong saw Chen Xiaoying's expression, he knew that it must be something Li Hongli had done in private. His former mother-in-law was a straightforward person. She spoke and acted directly, and dared to take responsibility for her actions.
She was obviously unaware.
Xu Xiaodong was very upset: "Li Hongli even kicked Xiaona in the stomach on purpose. She wasn't looking for trouble, she was trying to kill someone."
This is serious.
Although Chen Xiaoying felt that Li Hongli's kick in the stomach was too vicious, she could not admit the motive of murder on Li Hongli's behalf: "Yu Xiaona destroyed her family, she was so angry that she went up to hit her a few times. That was what Yu Xiaona deserved. Don't say that she hit Yu Xiaona. If I saw you, I would also want to slap you twice, but I was afraid of dirtying my hands."
After hearing this, Xu Xiaodong's face turned green.
