What is the relationship between Li Wengang and him? Why should the Zhao family support the grandson of the Li family?
Li Shenggen was naturally unreasonable. He couldn't bring himself to talk to his disabled son-in-law, so he forced Li Taohong: "He's your nephew, think it over carefully. If you don't help your mother's family and get wronged, don't come back!"
He directly ordered: "No one can be less than 150 yuan!"
Xie Yunshu didn't say anything. She knew that this old man must have a follow-up plan, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite to them.
Sure enough, Li Xiuqin smiled and put a piece of chicken into Xie Mingcheng's bowl: "Mingcheng! You are the elder brother, you have to help your younger brother, don't you know? Look, your grandmother's family is almost dead, and now they don't recognize you as their grandson. Aren't your descendants still on your grandmother's side? In the future, you and Wen Gang will be brothers, and we have to help each other!"
Xie Mingcheng said without even raising his head: "My sister is my biological sister."
The smile on Li Xiuqin's face faded a little. She glanced at Li Fenlan and said, "You can't even educate your children well!"
Li Fenlan pursed her lips and said nothing. Her son was right. The Xie family had severed ties with the three of them. After she was gone, Yun Shu and Ming Cheng would be the only two closest blood relatives in the world.
They need to help each other, and they should also help each other as siblings.
Li Shenggen raised his eyelids and lit up his pipe again: "You are the eldest sister, so it is only natural for you to be nice to your brother. No. 1 Middle School is close to your home, so you can let Wen Gang live there and have a companion with Mingcheng. Mingcheng is a good student, so he can tutor Wen Gang at night. You just need to take good care of the children. You will be proud of having two college students."
Li Dayong ate the chicken in big mouthfuls and hummed when he heard it: "Big sister, it's settled. I'll send Wen Gang over after the 15th. He loves meat, so you should be careful when cooking. He's your own child, don't be stingy."
"This is inappropriate." Li Fenlan's face turned pale, and she had no appetite at all. She glanced at her sister who had a grim expression on her face and said, "Mingcheng will go to college next year and there will be places where he needs money. I don't have that much money to bring."
"It's only fifty bucks, and you all have so many excuses!"
Li Dayong was angry. He put down the bowl and didn't eat. "Sister, don't think I don't know. When my brother-in-law died, the factory paid at least a few hundred yuan, right? The Xie family only took a hundred yuan of that money, and you still have several hundred left. How come you have no money to take? And sister, you are just a girl, how much money can you spend? In the future, you can find a man to marry and earn a dowry. Who are you saving the money for?"
Zhao Baoliang gritted his teeth. As a man, he couldn't even stand up straight, so how could he stand up and confront Li Dayong? When Old Xie was alive, he could still say no, but now he was so frustrated that he couldn't even raise his head!
This crippled and useless body, after giving birth to Fangfang, couldn't even give Taohong a son!
Seeing that no one was talking, Li Dayong glanced at Li Wengang who was still stuffing meat into his mouth and said, "You only know how to eat, why don't you thank Brother Mingcheng quickly? If you have any questions, just ask him! As a brother, he must help you get into college!"
Xie Mingcheng is about to take the college entrance examination, which is his only chance to turn things around. His mother and sister have placed so much hope on him. The pressure and motivation make him dare not stop for even a moment. How can he find time to tutor Li Wengang?
What's more, Li Wengang is not a student at all. All he does is eat and hang around in the village. If he lives in Xie's house, it will only delay Xie Mingcheng's studies.
Li Shenggen finished smoking a cigarette and said, "It's settled. After the fifteenth day of the full month, Wen Gang will move to your aunt's house. As for the money, take as much as you can. When Wen Gang is admitted to university in the future, you aunts will also have to give money. This is what you should do!"
He finished his cigarette, and Xie Yunshu finished his meal. He put the bowl on the table without getting angry: "Grandpa, Mingcheng got admitted to university, how much money will my uncle give him?"
Li Dayong's face changed: "What money should I take? It's not like you don't have money! You are the elder sister, if you want money, you have to ask the Lu family for it!"
Who stipulated that an older sister has to serve her younger brother like a slave for her entire life?
Xie Yunshu raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Uncle, what you said is interesting. Why do you need my mom and aunt to pay for your son's schooling? Are his parents dead, or are his grandparents gone?"
“Yun Shu…”
Li Fenlan and Li Taohong both shouted in a hurry, looking at Li Shenggen with fear on their faces. Such words, coming from the mouths of the younger generation, were considered extremely treasonous!
Li Shenggen was so angry at Xie Yunshu's words that his lips trembled. He pointed his finger at Xie Yunshu and cursed: "Evil creature! Get out! Get out! You are born by your mother but not raised by her. You dare to be arrogant when I ask you to eat at the table! Don't think you can go to school just because you married a doctor. You have no room for speech in this family!"
Xie Yunshu raised his eyelids and sneered: "This is not my home either, my home is in the tube building of the packaging factory!"
Li Fenlan quietly pulled Xie Yunshu: "Yunshu, stop talking..."
"You've taught me all these good girls!" Li Shenggen turned his attention to Li Fenlan again. He stood up from the stool and picked up the bamboo pole beside him to hit Li Fenlan: "I raised you up for nothing, and now it's so hard for you to get fifty dollars! If you won't help your brother, I'll beat you to death!"
Xie Yunshu quickly grabbed the bamboo pole, pulled it hard and threw it aside, saying in a grim tone: "You dare to touch my mother?!"
Xie Mingcheng also stood up behind him, blocking his mother and sister, with a fierce look on his slightly childish face. Li Shenggen was shocked by this grandson and took two steps back before he spoke tremblingly: "Okay, okay, you are rebelling, you even dare to touch your own grandfather!"
Xie Yunshu looked over with a pair of dark eyes without any warmth: "Father is kind and son is filial, how can you be worthy of us calling you grandpa?"
At the beginning, she was young and had no ability to protect her mother. Every time she came here, Li Fenlan and Li Taohong would bring things and be scolded before leaving. If she dared to refute him, the old man would take action.
They have been beaten since they were young, and oppressed by their parents' ethics and filial piety. How can they have the courage to resist except to accept it?
A few years ago, Li Fenlan was beaten by Li Shenggen until her face was swollen because Li Shenggen refused to give the job at the packaging factory to Li Dayong. She took a rope and wanted to hang herself at her mother's house, and only then did she save the job for Yunshu.
That was probably the only time she resisted in her life. Because of this incident, Li Fenlan did not go back to her parents' home for several years. Last year, Li Dayong gave her a few dollars and said that although her parents were old, they still loved their daughter.
If she is not filial, she will be criticized and scolded to death. Li Fenlan dare not not reply, otherwise what will others say about her, and what will they say about Yunshu and Mingcheng?
She is a member of the Li family and can't escape in this life. Her daughter and son can't continue to be victims of Li Dayong and his son!
