Ever since he cleared up all ties with Li Shuhua and the others last time, he hadn't paid any attention to Li Shuhua's affairs.
Hearing what He Zhaodi said, he wondered, "Is that true? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"You don't know what they're doing because you don't pay attention to them, but everyone in the village says that he comes every weekend. Tomorrow is the weekend, so maybe he'll come. Let's ask Shuhua for help when we get back."
He Zhaodi looked at Li Daniu with expectant eyes. Baohua was her son, her first child, and the meaning was always different.
She knew that asking Li Shuhua for help would be useless and would only bring humiliation upon herself.
But Li Daniu is different. No matter what, she is still Li Shuhua’s biological father. She will definitely be a little cautious, right?
Li Daniu...
He had thousands of reasons in his mind not to ask his son for help, but for the sake of his beloved son, he had to swallow his pride and do it.
"Yeah, I'll tell him when I get back!"
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative now and buy some snacks, candies, etc. We can't go to ask for help empty-handed.
I won't go when the time comes, old man. You go by yourself. Shuhua and his family don't like me, so going would be counterproductive!"
I have to say that at this time He Zhaodi still had some self-awareness and understood that one should have the right attitude when asking for help.
"What snacks can I buy? I'll spoil them. After all, I'm his father and Baohua is his brother.
I'm not taking anything, so how can he not let me in?
If he doesn't take the things, he will not care about his younger brother Baohua?"
Although Li Daniu was stubborn, he still followed He Zhaodi's steps and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
After the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they bought the cheapest peach cakes, two kilograms.
They wanted to buy some candy, but it was a bit expensive and neither of them was willing to spend it.
On his way back, Li Daniu wanted to go to Li Shuhua's house, but was stopped by He Zhaodi, who said that he needed help from someone and it was not appropriate to go there at night.
When Li Daniu heard this, he felt that what He Zhaodi said made sense. After all, times have changed.
But the two of them didn't know that their beloved eldest son had also brought their favorite youngest son in.
Now both the old couple and their two sons were in jail.
The reason why Li Baohua did this was because Li Daniu reached retirement age last year. He originally thought that after Li Daniu retired, he, as an older brother, would definitely take over Li Daniu's job.
But he never expected that Li Daniu discussed with He Zhaodi and gave the job directly to Li Baofeng.
How could Li Baohua bear this? In addition, Li Baofeng would ask Li Baohua for money from time to time and also participated in gambling, so as soon as Li Baohua went in, he reported Li Baofeng.
Li Baofeng was just trying to get on with his job when he was taken away by the police.
When I was taken away, I was still confused!
Li Daniu and He Zhaodi were waiting for Li Baofeng to come back for dinner in the evening, but they waited and waited, but their son never showed up.
It was a colleague in the factory who used to be good friends with Li Daniu and kindly came to tell them.
When they heard this, they were stunned, really stunned!
Originally, one son was in prison, and the other son could provide for their old age. Now that both are in prison, who will provide for them?
Is that your daughter Li Baozhu?
Have they forgotten that their daughter had already married off a long time ago, and it was they who found the right man for her. They married her off for a betrothal gift of 200 yuan.
Li Baozhu got married to be a stepmother to two children. She hated them in her heart for a long time, so how could she care about them?
Li Daniu and He Zhaodi didn't sleep the whole night and finally waited until dawn.
He Zhaodi urged Li Daniu to take the things and go to Li Shuhua's house, and repeatedly reminded him not to lose his temper, not to act like a father, and to speak nicely, because he was asking for help for Baohua and Baofeng.
If Shuhua knew this, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, so just bear with it!
With He Zhaodi's repeated instructions, Li Daniu took the peach cakes and went to Li Shuhua's house.
It just so happened that Zhuge Zhen also came to Li Shuhua's house today to give them gifts, and ran into Li Daniu.
Li Daniu was very enthusiastic about Zhuge Zhen, which surprised everyone in the Li family.
I don’t even know what he wants to do!
Zhuge Zhen didn't know what Li Daniu had done in the past. He really thought that Li Daniu was a good grandfather to Li Wenjing.
So he was very humble when speaking to Li Daniu, and kept praising Li Wenjing to Li Daniu.
When Li Daniu heard Zhuge Liang praising Li Wenjing, his face turned pale, then blue, like a palette...
I was thinking about Li Baohua and Li Baofeng, but I didn't know how to start. My face looked as if I was constipated.
Zhuge Zhen also felt something was wrong. He wondered in his heart, is this man really Master Li’s good grandfather?
Why did he look so unhappy when he heard me praising Master Li like this?
At this time, Li Shuhua spoke up and said calmly: "Dad, if you want to come here, just tell me what you want! You can see that we have guests at home today and I can't take care of you!"
Zhuge Zhen was a smart man and he reacted quickly.
When Li Daniu told Zhuge Zhen about Li Baohua and Li Baofeng, Zhuge Zhen just pretended to be stupid and brushed Li Daniu off.
Li Wenjing muttered inwardly: I originally only wanted to get Li Baohua in, but I didn't expect that Li Baohua helped get Li Baofeng in as well, tsk tsk...
It would be a lie for Li Daniu to say he wasn't disappointed when he heard Zhuge Zhen say this.
He still tried to persuade Zhuge Zhen to help, but Zhuge Zhen easily blocked his attempts.
What should Li Daniu do? What can he do?
If these were his own children, he could still boss them around, but these were other people's children, and they were people he couldn't afford to offend.
Just at this time, it was time for lunch, so he stood up and was about to leave.
Li Shuhua didn't ask him to stay for dinner, but just gave Li Xiaoling a look.
Li Xiaoling understood what her elder brother meant and stood up to see Li Daniu out.
"Dad, please walk slower, I have something to tell you!"
Li Xiaoling and Li Shuhua, brother and sister, have discussed it and decided that some things still need to be made clear to the old man. After all, he is their biological father. Although they don't like him very much, they don't want to see him too miserable in his later years.
Although He Zhaodi is annoying and hateful, she is an indispensable existence in the current situation.
The key is that Li Daniu is willing to listen to her. In order not to cause trouble to them, the brothers and sisters, and to make Li Daniu live a better life in his later years, these words can only be said by his daughter Li Xiaoling.
Li Daniu still feels a little guilty towards his daughter Li Xiaoling.
After all, it was he who arranged the marriage between Li Xiaoling and Zhao Yubo when he was drunk.
