Yihong came in with a large porcelain plate, took the candied haws from Li Gan and Li Tianyou, arranged them on the porcelain plate, and placed it in front of the sisters Li and Ren Yaoqi.
Li Gan walked over to the kang and sat down, picked out a bunch of candied haws and handed them to Li. "There's only hawthorn stuffing for sale at the door, so just make do with it. We didn't prepare any today, so we can make them ourselves next time we come back."
Li Tianyou said from the side: "Yes, yes, yes, next time let Yihong make the candy. I want to eat glutinous rice filling! And sprinkle a layer of dried fruits on it!"
Li Tianyou's words brought back Li's childhood memories. She forgot what she was going to say before, but Li Gan handed her the candied haws and smiled, "Thank you, Dad."
Rong looked at the father and son who had changed the subject so quickly and asked Li Gan, "What did the master say before?"
Li Gan was handing out candied haws to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi when he heard this and said casually, "What did you say?"
Li Tianyou came over and picked up a bunch of candied haws, while reminding his father, "You should return the money to them first."
Li Gan said "Oh" and said casually: "If I tell you to go back, then go back. I'm the head of the family, you have to listen to me!"
Rong Shi did not argue with Li Gan. She smiled and turned to Li Shi and said, "Since your father doesn't want to accept it, you can have someone send it back."
Li Gan snorted, and waved his bamboo axe while calculating in a low voice: "Twenty thousand taels! That's quite a lot. Let me calculate, it's enough to buy several fighting cocks and several crickets, and then the chickens will give birth to chickens, and the crickets will give birth to crickets... Tsk, you really don't want it? What a pity..." Although he said so, there was not much regret on his face.
Ren Yaohua, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but ask angrily, "Return it? Do you want to return the money you paid before as well?"
Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned and scolded Ren Yaohua, "Hua'er, how can you be so rude!"
Ren Yaohua looked coldly at Li Tianyou, who was wiping his mouth with his sleeve. He said sarcastically, "Rules? Which rules?"
Li Tianyou wiped his mouth and smiled at Ren Yaohua nonchalantly.
Li suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ren Yaohua hard.
A crisp "pa--" sound shocked everyone.
Ren Yaohua hadn't expected Li to hit her, so she looked up blankly: "Mother..."
Li felt a little regretful after hitting Ren Yaohua, but the irony in Ren Yaohua's words just now really pierced her heart. So she still said with a cold face and tears in her eyes: "Admit your mistake!"
Ren Yaohua was not willing to come here today. If Li had not insisted on bringing her along, she would not have wanted to set foot here at all.
Even if Prince Xian's Mansion could be revived, what good would it do? If it had truly concealed its strength all these years, her heart would only grow colder. Where had her maternal grandparents been all these years, when they were isolated and helpless, being bullied by a concubine? For the so-called great cause of those who did great things for them. Could they even abandon their own flesh and blood?
Since he had already decided to abandon them, who was he pretending to be a loving father and filial son to?
Over the years, how much money had Li secretly given to her family? Ren Yaohua didn't say it, but how could she not know it in her heart? But they had already accepted the money Li gave them before, and now that they saw that they could turn things around, they were putting on airs?
