Li Hongli stuffed the broom into his arms and left him alone. She cleaned up a room for herself, put down her and the child's things, and went out to visit friends with the child in her arms: "Dad, please sweep the floor. Didn't the doctor say that moving around when you have nothing to do will help you recover."

"I'll be back shortly."

The left side of her father's body is out of control, but more importantly, isn't the right side able to move?

My right hand can move, so why can’t I sweep the floor?

Her father is just pretentious.

Li Pingwang felt disheartened when he saw Li Hongli acting like she didn't want to serve him at all.

So disheartening.

They didn't clean the yard for him, cook for him, or wash his clothes. They even scolded him and forced a patient like him to do the work.

What kind of daughter is this?

Li Pingwang's angry old face was filled with sad tears and snot...

Among the seven children, each one was more diligent and kind than Li Hongli, but Li Hongli was the only one who came back.

Li Hongli hadn't been back to the village for a long time. Whenever she went out with her child, people in the village would greet her and ask her what she was doing in the county town, or ask her about things like how she heard that her eldest sister Li Hongyan was not her parents' biological daughter.

Li Hongli knew that this matter could not be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it, so she told everything.

But Li Pingwang and Li Hongyan, father and daughter, did not want to say it. Why? They knew it very well and it would be bad if they said it.

Li Hongyan is not her biological daughter, so should she return all the things she moved from her parents' home? Forget about the kindness of raising her, but what about the money she borrowed over the years?

Li Pingwang was afraid of being embarrassed. He raised someone else's daughter and didn't care about the life or death of his own children. If the villagers knew about this, they would laugh at him to death.

This is indeed the case.

Even though he didn't say anything, the news spread throughout the village.

Lijia Village is close to Zhaojia Village. No matter how Li Hongyan made up a story in Zhaojia Village to make up for herself and her mother, they are all good people.

But it couldn't change the fact that people said she had taken advantage of the Li family all her life and didn't take care of her adoptive father Li Pingwang when he fell ill.

"You didn't let me go, you didn't let me go. Now look at what people outside are saying about me." Li Hongyan returned home angrily and threw the hoe on the ground.

Zhao Faliang glanced at her and said, "What's the point of you going there? You are not their biological child anyway, so how can you expect your mother to give you a share of the family property?"

In recent years, his mother-in-law has been cold to him and is not as fond of him as a son-in-law as before, but he has to endure it.

What for?

It's all for Li Hongyan, the eldest daughter. After her mother-in-law dies, she must stand on the side of her father-in-law so that she can get more of the inheritance.

But in the past few years, from beginning to end, I haven't made a penny of benefit.

I just saw Li Hongyan moving her things over there.

The future is poor.

"Pengbo and Pengle's tuition fees haven't been collected yet, don't you care at all?"

"Your mother is so cruel. Even if you are not her biological child, you have called her mother for more than 40 years, but she turned hostile just like that. Is she a human being?"

Zhao Faliang is still full of resentment.

Li Hongyan was speechless. She knew that Chen Xiaoying had become cold towards her in the past few years. She became a little impatient. Did she think she was not anxious?

But what can she do?

Zhao Pengbo couldn't help it, so he walked out and said, "Dad, Mom, our school has student loans. Pengle and I can do some odd jobs at school. It doesn't matter if we have less living expenses."

Zhao Pengbo has a strong sense of self-esteem. He couldn't bear to see his parents quarreling over his tuition fees, nor did he want his parents to have to face his grandmother's displeasure.

It turns out that grandma is not her biological mother.

How could Li Hongyan bear to see her son suffer? "Don't talk nonsense. We let you go to school so that you can study hard, not to hand out flyers and serve dishes. Don't go."

Others can work and study, but Li Hongyan can't bear to do so.

Zhao Pengbo didn't say anything. Zhao Pengle was the youngest and had no right to speak.

Li Hongyan had no choice but to say, "Hongli took advantage of Li Pingwang and said she suffered a great loss. How could she honestly come back to take care of the patient? I have to go and see."

"Why are you going? Aren't you going to do the housework?" Zhao Faliang was unhappy.

Li Hongyan glared at him and said, "Pengbo and Pengle are still here. Let them help me. I have something important to do."

After that, she rode away on her bike.

"You are trying to curry favor with an old man with hemiplegia, but let's see what benefits you can get from currying favor with him." Zhao Faliang said with a stern face and a snort.

Zhao Pengle felt uncomfortable: "Dad, are you really not going to visit my grandpa?"

Ever since Li Pingwang fell ill, even those in Zhaojia Village who were related to the Li family came to visit him, bringing a few eggs.

Everyone in the village does this. Going to take a look and giving a few eggs is a token of appreciation.

But Zhao Faliang didn't want his family to go and see it, as he was a very stubborn person.

"What are you looking at? You are not his biological grandchildren. Even if you go to see your grandmother, she won't treat you as her own grandchildren."

Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle looked at each other. School was going to start the day after tomorrow.

In fact, grandma has always been secretly giving them money so that they don’t have to skimp on food in college.

They could see that what grandma meant was that the conflict with their mother Li Hongyan was their own business and had nothing to do with them, the children. As long as they were willing to study, she would be willing to help.

However, Zhao Pengbo felt uncomfortable. He felt that his mother Li Hongyan was very good to his grandmother, especially good to her. How could she completely turn against her just because the child was not her biological child?

He doesn't want to spend his grandmother's money anymore. He feels uncomfortable spending it.

Zhao Pengle was simple-minded and didn't think too much about it. She thought about the mother-daughter relationship of 48 years. Even if they were not biological children, it seemed that there was no difference. The mother-daughter relationship of most of their lives could not be wiped out.

Li Hongyan rode her bicycle to Lijia Village. Whenever she met someone she knew on the road, she would say loudly, "Ah, let's go to my mother's house. I haven't been there for a few days. I want to go see my dad."

People in the surrounding villages must know that although Li Hongyan is not the biological daughter of Li Pingwang and Chen Xiaoying, she still recognizes them as her parents. Her mother Chen Xiaoying no longer recognizes her because she is too cruel.

She was too much to just give up her daughter of more than 40 years.

Li Hongyan had already met Li Pingwang, but hadn't seen Li Hongli yet: "Dad, didn't you say Hongli was here to serve you? Where is she?"

She looked around the yard. The fallen leaves were all over the ground and had not been swept. The dirty clothes piled in the corner under the eaves had not been touched yet. It was almost noon, and the stove was still cold. Where was anyone?

Li Hongli is not the type of person who cooks and serves others. When she was dating Xu Xiaodong in the provincial capital, she pretended to be a good wife and mother for a while and cooked for Xu Xiaodong, but Xu Xiaodong didn't like the food because it tasted bad.

"Who, who knows, knows, where, went." Li Pingwang was paralyzed and stuttered, but he found some rules and was able to speak clearly in a halting manner.

"I'll go find her." Li Hongyan understood. Li Hongli really didn't come back to serve her father. Then what did she come back for?

Li Hongyan searched the whole village for Li Hongli.

Li Hongli was at the home of her elder sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang.

She said to Liu Lanxiang who had just returned from working in the fields as a matter of course: "…I just got home, the house is a mess, there is no place to step, I can't even cook, sister-in-law, please make more, I will just eat a bite and send another bowl to Dad later."
