"Brother, what misconceptions have I given you that you can scheme against me, or that you want me to fight for you? Heh, I call you brother just a title, not out of affection or respect. People should know their place." After saying that, Feng Chun hung up the phone. Li Xingguo is a leopard that can't change its spots.
Li Xingguo looked at the phone after it was hung up and snorted coldly. "Keep pretending. Sooner or later, they'll come looking for cooperation with you. Li Fengchun says he's cunning, but is she cunning herself?"
He didn't mention to Fengchun that he wanted to go home. Fengchun didn't hold a high place in his parents' hearts, and they wouldn't listen to her anyway; it would be useless to talk to her.
Li Xingguo closed his eyes, thinking about how to break through to go home. First, he had to get into the residential area. Once inside, getting past his parents would be difficult. Perhaps he should ask his grandparents for help. They still had a lot of affection for him. He could ask them to soften their hearts and let him stay.
As long as we can stay, going back to the way things were before is just a matter of time.
This time, he needs to plan carefully. His second and third sons will definitely try to sabotage him. He can't act like before. If he wants to live a good life in the future, he still needs to rely on his family. His parents have so many assets, and he needs to get what he deserves.
The grandparents are almost out of a job, and their youngest son and eldest grandson might get the lion's share if things go well.
Looking out the window at the scenery, Li Xingguo's face was full of ambition. The women he had dated before were too stupid. If he wanted to get what he wanted, he would have to rely on himself.
That evening, Li Mancang prepared hot water for Wu Zhiqi so she could soak her feet. "Did Li Xingguo call you today?"
Wu Zhiqi nodded. "He got the injection. He's probably about to be discharged and is thinking about us again."
"After all these years of ups and downs, how can he still have the nerve to want to come back? Does he have a golden egg or a silver string? How did we end up with this thing?" Li Mancang really didn't understand. If he hadn't seen Wu Zhiqi give birth to it, he would have suspected that the wrong baby had been brought in.
"Two snakes gave birth to a toad, I wonder which one it took after?" Wu Zhiqi had completely given up on Li Xingguo, yet he still had the mind to joke.
Li Mancang: "If we were living in poverty and had to ask him for retirement funds, he would have run far away long ago."
Wu Zhiqi: "That would be like taking his life, like taking out his gallbladder! Today he even called Fengchun, asking her to help him find out how much it would cost to make a fake of that thing."
Li Mancang… “No, that thing can be faked?”
"Fengchun said it's possible, but besides urinating, it's just for aesthetics. There might be complications later on," Wu Zhiqi asked curiously.
Li Mancang looked at his wife with a complicated expression. "It's so beautiful, who would carry it outside? Or is it something you just want to show off?"
Wu Zhiqi chuckled, "Just satisfying my own inner desires."
"What's so satisfying about a fake one? He's so old, he'll just be gone. Why make a fake one? That would cost him a fortune!" Li Mancang rubbed his old face, completely bewildered.
Wu Zhiqi: "Fengchun said she estimated that the round-trip expenses for examinations and surgery, and the total cost of the surgery would be several hundred thousand yuan."
Li Mancang... "Even if Li Xingguo sold himself, he wouldn't be worth several hundred thousand."
"Who cares? If he's capable, let him do it. Just don't expect me to contribute a single penny. I'll donate the money and gain some good reputation and accumulate some merit," Wu Zhiqi said indifferently.
Li Mancang didn't understand why they would make a fake one. It wouldn't be of any use anyway. He was already so old, why spend so much money on a mere peeing toy? He would have to spend a lot of money on maintenance later on. Wouldn't it be better to save the money for the child?
They just don't understand respect, since it doesn't cost them any money anyway.
"Xiaoyu is getting married, what should we give as a dowry?" Li Mancang changed the subject.
