Xingsong's wife...is anyone talking about this?
"Li Xingsong, I'm not that kind of person!"
Xingsong sighed, "Some things seem dirty, but they actually require a certain level of sophistication. You're not that kind of person, but you're not cut out for it either. Not engaging in extramarital affairs and not being able to engage in them are two different things. Some things require certain physical attributes to be acceptable..."
"Li Xingsong!" His wife yelled, startling Xingsong and waking up the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and donkeys behind him.
His wife ate a mouthful of shredded potatoes, while Xingsong grimaced and begged for mercy.
“Honey, what I meant was that Mom and Dad are getting old, and only Lao Si and I are capable of doing the farm work. If Lao Si passes away, this farm will be ours. Haven’t you always wanted to take over the farm for yourself? Now that the opportunity has come, I can’t leave!”
"You bastard, you say I'm ugly and can't find a good woman? I can't find a good one, but I can find a bad one too. Tomorrow I'll make sure you wear a green hat. What farm? Starting tomorrow you can stay home and sell hats!"
Xingsong... his wife can't listen to the truth at all.
Li Hang covered his head with the blanket and went to sleep. The next morning, he went to the city. When he got home, his family had just finished breakfast.
Li Mantun and Liu Cuihua both looked indifferent when they saw their grandson.
"Sir, are you feeling better? I'm sorry," Li Hang said, bowing his head in apology.
"It's nothing, some medicine will do. It's just that your grandpa is getting old and his health isn't what it used to be. From now on, you can talk to your dad about your problems, you don't need to tell us."
Liu Cuihua continued, "Yesterday, Young Master Bai came back and said he was going to take Xingping to Africa. He's already enrolled Xingping in English classes. Xingping's dejected state vanished instantly. He talked to her a lot, saying he would definitely make a name for himself in the future, and his eyes lit up again. Liu Cuihua cried for half the night because of this. What do you mean by a grandson being favored? Isn't it all because of the son? Now that the son himself has no expectations for the next generation, this grandson still listens to his mother wholeheartedly." Liu Cuihua's enthusiasm faded.
Hearing the coldness in his grandmother's tone, Li Hang lowered his head and twisted the hem of his clothes. "Grandma, I just don't want a stepmother. Everyone says that if you have a stepmother, you'll have a stepfather, I..."
"I won't interfere in your family's affairs anymore. Your grandfather and I will never meddle again. Whether you want your mother to remarry your father or whatever, you can talk to your father about it," Liu Cuihua interrupted her grandson.
Li Hang was somewhat at a loss.
"Hang, you're not a child anymore, you're a young man now. You're capable of distinguishing right from wrong. Think things through before you act, consider whether you can do it, and what the consequences will be." Li Mantun still had expectations for his grandson; who would want their descendants to be fools?
"Yes, I understand, sir. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you, I..."
Li Hang wanted to explain further, but Li Mantun waved his hand and said, "In my eyes, you're still a child. I forgive you, but what's done is done. I'm fine, but if something happens to me, have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Hang lowered his head; he dared not think about it.
"Your dad is upstairs, go find him," Li Mantun said no more, and told Li Hang to go find Xingping.
“He’s so easily swayed, just like his father. He thinks you’re right, but when his mother says something, he thinks she’s more right,” Liu Cuihua said, exasperated.
Li Mantun: "Do you just like obedient children? This looks just like the fourth brother, and you're still not satisfied?"
Liu Cuihua…“Given the child’s temperament, are you implying you’re blaming me?”
Seeing Liu Cuihua get angry, Li Mantun patted his behind and left to go to the front yard to watch Old Man Guan and Uncle Ge play chess.
Liu Cuihua was so angry that she was panting heavily. All the bad things were caused by her spoiling her, and all the good things were inherited from her. It was all her fault.
Xingping had just finished packing his things and was about to go downstairs to class when he saw his son coming up.
"Dad, where are you going?" Li Hang asked hesitantly.
