Li Pingwang felt sad when he looked at his third son Li Hongqiang and his youngest daughter Li Hongxia.
He raised seven children in total, and when he needed someone to take care of him, he only had this son and daughter by his side.
Wiping his tears, he said to Li Hongxia, "Hongxia, you must not be like your second sister, who got married without thinking, divorced without thinking, and still had a child with her, making people laugh at her."
"If you're dating someone, you have to date an honest person who knows how to work, knows how to be filial to his parents, and has a conscience. He can't be an ungrateful person..."
Hearing him speak so sincerely, Li Hongxia's eyes turned red, but she didn't react at all.
She knew very well in her heart that the person her father loved most was her eldest sister Li Hongyan, and the other six children combined were not as good as Li Hongyan.
She is the youngest one, and her father usually doesn't care about her and never even looks at her.
This was the first time in her twenty-plus years of life that he had spoken so much to her.
Why? Does he really care about her?
No, it was because his eldest and second brothers had just left and they were all so angry that he reluctantly said a few nice words to her.
In fact, he is still cruel.
When my second sister Li Hongli was beaten by her brother-in-law, other old men in the village were willing to stand up for their daughters, but he just scolded my second sister for being useless and shameless.
He didn't want his second sister to marry Xu Xiaodong, and he just called her shameless but did nothing.
Her second sister was hospitalized for more than two months before marriage to protect her pregnancy, but he didn't even go to see her. He didn't ask about the divorce that went on. Even after marriage and with the child, he still called her shameless.
As a father, he has never thought about caring about his daughter. Even though the second sister Li Hongli is not doing well, he, as a father, has never done what he should do.
He just cursed.
He cursed in any way that was unpleasant and insulting.
Li Hongxia took a breath, wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I'll go out and clean up."
She really didn't want to stay in the house.
"Dad, I have a headache. I'm going to sleep for a while."
The third brother, Li Hongqiang, played mahjong all night last night. He came back because he couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to eat something and have a quick sleep.
After making such a fuss for half a day, he was extremely sleepy.
Li Pingwang is old and can fall asleep as soon as he is told to.
The eldest brother Li Hongwei was heartbroken by his father and brother Li Hongqiang today. When he returned home, his eyes were red and he didn't speak for a long time.
He made up his mind that when the time comes, even if it means paying attention to the villagers' discussions, he would still drag his father to Zhao Faliang's house.
He couldn't swallow this.
There was a big quarrel at home, so Li Yutong came back with Li Yuhan. They were going to spend the first day of the new year at her grandfather's house.
As soon as I came back, I found that the atmosphere was not right.
Her mother Liu Lanxiang was in another room and told her what happened today.
Li Yutong was quite surprised: "Did my dad really say that?"
In her previous life, until her grandfather died, her father was filial and never thought of sending her grandfather to her uncle's house.
It seems that this time, he was really angry.
Liu Lanxiang said at the side: "This is the first time your father has been so angry. Your third uncle is an ungrateful person and a fool. What is this about fighting for the family property? I don't think he brought it up at all. It was the guy from Zhaojia Village who told him that."
"Look, there's nothing wrong with the people in Zhaojia Village, but he was kicked and beaten several times by your father, and his family is in such a mess that they can't even celebrate the New Year in peace."
Liu Lanxiang really hated her aunt Li Hongyan.
How could there be such a vampire-like daughter in the world? She is so vicious. Not only does she suck blood, she also makes her parents and brothers live a miserable life.
Then, she profited from it.
How shameless.
Li Yutong nodded and looked at her mother, remembering what her grandmother said some time ago. Looking at her mother's expression, her mother must know that her eldest aunt was not her grandmother Chen Xiaoying's biological daughter.
Li Yutong herself was also confused.
If I tell her grandmother Chen Xiaoying, she has no evidence and just says to her grandmother: "Grandma, my aunt is not your biological daughter..."
No matter what her grandmother does, she will definitely ask: "Who told you that? She is not my biological daughter, so who gave birth to her?"
If she said, "I suspect Liang Xiuqing gave birth to the child."
Her grandmother just wanted to believe it. And then, she raised someone else's daughter since she was a child, so what about the child she gave birth to?
No matter how I think about it, it seems unbelievable. How could such a thing happen?
Li Yutong didn't tell her grandmother because she couldn't figure out these things later.
Her grandmother also said that if she told her grandmother, her grandmother would suffer. What would she suffer?
She still couldn't figure it out.
Li Hongwei had a falling out with his father Li Pingwang and they didn't go to the old house during the New Year.
Although Li Yutong and her sister are granddaughters, they had to go visit him so as not to give anyone a chance to gossip about them. When they went, their hands were filled with eggs, milk, and pastries.
When Li Yutong arrived, her grandfather Li Pingwang was rolling a pipe in the yard.
"Master."
Sisters Li Yutong and Li Yuhan called for help one after another.
Li Pingwang raised his head and wanted to say something, but then he remembered something and snorted without saying anything.
Li Yuhan is timid and cries easily. Her grandfather has always said that she is useless since she was a child. Seeing that her grandfather is unhappy, she looks at her elder sister Li Yutong nervously.
Li Yutong didn't say anything and pretended she didn't see her grandfather getting upset.
Li Hongxia came out. Originally, she wanted to follow her fourth brother Li Honggang and his family to celebrate the New Year with her mother Chen Xiaoying, but her father was in a bad mood now. If everyone left, he would be the only old man left during the New Year. It would be pitiful to see him. Those people with bad intentions in the village would gossip about him.
Li Hongxia stayed.
"Xiaoyu, Hanhan, you're here." Li Hongxia smiled when she saw the things the two sisters brought. She said to Li Pingwang, "Dad, look, Xiaoyu and Hanhan bought you so many things, all of which you like to eat."
Li Pingwang snorted and didn't even look at it: "You've made a lot of money, you're all big bosses, if you really want to be filial to me, you'll just give me this little bit of money to get rid of me?"
"I don't know how to be filial to your grandma."
Li Hongxia was speechless with jealous words, and Li Yutong smiled and said, "Grandpa, my grandma is my grandma, and you are also my grandpa. Tell me what you want and I will buy it for you."
"I want a house, will you buy me one too?" Li Pingwang said unhappily. This matter had become a thorn in his side, so he just blurted it out.
Li Yutong nodded: "Buy it, buy it for you, I'm just worried that you won't be used to it."
Li Yutong was so generous that Li Pingwang immediately smiled. It was his eldest granddaughter who was thinking about him. Every time, it was only his eldest granddaughter who visited him and gave him gifts.
The other granddaughters, Li Yuhan and Li Yujie, wished they could stay away from him.
The only grandson, Li Chaochao, looks dull and not smart at all, far worse than his other grandsons.
Li Hongxia was stunned for a moment, then secretly pulled the corner of Li Yutong's clothes. Li Yutong winked at her.
When the aunt and niece arrived in the kitchen, Li Hongxia said to her, "Buying a house is such a big thing, why don't you discuss it with your father? Your father will definitely not agree."
Giving it to her would be equivalent to giving it to her elder sister Li Hongyan, and her elder brother Li Hongwei would definitely not agree.
Li Yutong said: "Aunt, my grandfather just listened to the voice, he would never let me, his granddaughter, buy him a house."
