The second Li Jianhai saw Li Yang, a smile spread across his face: "You're back."
Li Yang nodded slightly and walked over, but did not open the door: "Is there something wrong?"
Seeing that Li Yang had no intention of inviting him in, Li Jianhai's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but it was quickly suppressed. "Well, your brother is coming back today, and your mother missed you too. She bought a lot of food today and asked you and Xiao Ji to go out for dinner."
Lai Yaozu was detained in a juvenile detention center for a few days and then released. During this period, he and Feng Mei asked for help from people everywhere, but the response they received was that this was already the lightest result, and if they continued to make trouble, they would be in big trouble.
Feng Mei recalled the ambiguous words the police said that day, and Li Jianren's words that Ji Huaizhi was a capable person, and she began to doubt whether the person behind the scenes was really Ji Huaizhi.
So, taking advantage of Li Yaozu being released today, he invited Li Yang and his wife to come over for dinner to find out the truth.
According to Feng Mei's plan, if Ji Huaizhi is really as Li Jianren said, their family will naturally flatter him and ask Li Yang to take all the money from Ji Huaizhi back to subsidize her family; otherwise, they will definitely not be happy.
If someone is too attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Li Yang certainly would not believe that Feng Mei asked her to go back for dinner because she said she missed her.
No, she was asked to go with Ji Huaizhi.
Li Yang caught something from this and shook his head decisively: "No, he's not available."
After that, he walked past Li Jianhai to open the door: "If you have nothing else, please go back."
"Li Yang." Li Jianhai called her, his voice deep. "Dad personally asked you to come back for dinner, and you're not willing to go?"
His voice was a little loud, which attracted the neighbors around the door or the wall to peek in, but they were too embarrassed to come out and watch.
Li Yang sighed, turned around and looked Li Jianhai in the eye. "I thought I had already made it clear to you when Cheng Wei came to ask for money. In order to raise money for Li Yaozu, Mom wanted to sell me to the Fu family, and then she wanted me to follow Cheng Wei, threatening that if I didn't agree, she would pay 600 yuan to sever ties with the family. Where were you when she did all this?
If you ask for money, I won't refuse to give it to you. The eight or nine hundred yuan I have given to my family since I started working can be regarded as buying out the family affection between us.
So, you don't need to say that Mom misses me and asked me to go back for dinner. My face is already torn, what's the point of acting?"
Li Yang's words were clear and forthright, and the neighbors who were listening at home all nodded.
Yes, Feng Mei treated Li Yang like that, and she still said she missed her. How could that be possible? She was probably trying to get some benefit from Li Yang again, so she was being so attentive here.
Before coming here, Li Jianhai had prepared himself mentally for being rejected by Li Yang, but he also thought that as long as he said a few nice words to Li Yang, Li Yang would soften her heart. After all, going back for dinner was just a trivial matter. However, he didn't expect that Li Yang's heart had become harder than stone.
He pretended to be very sad and said, "Your mother was wrong in doing this. I have already told her after I found out.
Your mother carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. How can there be any overnight hatred between mother and daughter?"
He took a step forward and tried to pull Li Yang over: "Listen to Dad and go home with Xiao Ji for dinner tonight. Then I'll have your brother apologize to you, and we'll be done with this matter."
He wasn't there when Cheng Wei arrived. When he heard that Li Yang had severed ties with her family, he didn't first accuse Feng Mei of wrongdoing. Instead, he asked her, "Where's the money Li Yang gave you? Even if you send money back to your parents' home every month, there should be some left."
Feng Mei naturally didn't dare to say that she had spent it all. She just said that the family expenses were high and it was all used up. Then the couple had another quarrel.
Li Yang listened to Li Jianhai's words and didn't bother to argue with him anymore. He said, "Dad, take care of yourself."
He turned around and went into the house and closed the door.
Li Jianhai looked at the yard door that was closed in front of him. The door seemed to slap him in the face. The stiff smile on his face could no longer be maintained and fell.
He wanted to get angry, but this was the front door and people were coming and going all the time, and he couldn't afford to embarrass this person.
After enduring it again and again, I could only raise my voice to the yard and say, "I know you are angry. It won't be too late to come home and see me and your mother when the weather calms down."
After saying that, he didn't feel comfortable staying any longer and went home dejectedly.
Sister Qian and Yao Yunxiang heard the conversation between the two clearly at home and couldn't help shaking their heads.
Yao Yunxiang spat out loud, "They've driven Li Yang to this point just for a good-for-nothing like Li Yaozu, and yet they still have the nerve to pretend to be a loving father and mother. Ugh!"
Sister Qian was also very disgusted: "Hey, I've lived to this age and have seen people who are biased, but I've never seen anyone this biased."
Of course, she had heard some family gossips that were as exciting as what she saw on TV, but at least she had heard about it. This was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
She tugged at Yao Yunxiang again and said, "You're still a child. Just listen to it, but don't tell Li Yang about it, or she'll be upset."
Yao Yunxiang wanted to say that Li Yang wouldn't be sad, but she was afraid that Sister Qian would tear her apart again, so she nodded nonchalantly: "Okay, I understand."
*
As if he had gotten used to the Li family coming to his house from time to time, Li Yang's expression never changed when he returned home, and he continued to do what he was supposed to do.
She first took out the raw stone she had bought in the morning, then found a piece of clothing that she could no longer wear out, wrapped it up, and put it in the closet.
She took a step back and bowed very seriously to the cabinet: "Uncle Jade, whether it succeeds or not depends on you."
The price difference between the raw stone and the finished product is too big, so this time she plans to find a skilled craftsman to help cut and polish it, and pay him a processing fee. In this way, she can probably earn half the price of the raw stone.
