"Okay, you know exactly why Li An left home. If you agree readily, I think you won't be so biased."
Old man Li understood what the village chief meant. His body, which had been standing straight, suddenly bent down and he looked very sad.
Seeing Old Man Li like this, some villagers felt pity for him and advised Li An not to marry, saying that there is no child who would complain about his parents.
When Old Man Li saw someone persuading him, a smug smile appeared on his face.
However, when he saw the look in Li Mengyue's eyes, his smile froze. He didn't know whether to retract it or continue smiling.
Li Mengyue ignored Old Man Li's pride, because she knew that her father's family was doomed to fail today, and Old Man Li probably wouldn't even be able to cry later.
Li An didn't respond politely to his advice. He said expressionlessly, "Wait until you can tolerate your parents treating you like this, then come and persuade me."
"Well, look at what you said. There is no such unreasonable elder in my family." The person who persuaded Li An said angrily, and walked away feeling embarrassed.
"Okay, let's finish the work quickly. We all have to go to the fields to work in the afternoon." After saying this, the village chief sat on the chair that Mingyu brought over.
Li Mengyue stepped forward and told them about the things her father-in-law had given her.
After hearing what Li Mengyue said, the village chief looked at Old Man Li and said sarcastically, "Li Gui, do you think this is really reasonable?"
Of course Old Man Li knew that this was unfair to his father, but his intention was to dissuade his father from having a family.
The result was counterproductive. If the stalemate continued, it would make my husband and I alienated each other.
Old man Li pretended to be deeply hurt and said with a painful look on his face, "Dad, since you think that your parents are a burden and have delayed you, and you miss your parents, then dad will grant your wish today."
"My family can only give you three mu of dry land at the foot of the mountain and 50 kilograms of grain, a total of 10 kilograms. Save some so you can eat the new grain."
"Don't give me five taels of silver as a tribute every year. Just give me one tael. And you don't need that many clothes either. Just make two sets of clothes for me and your mother every year."
Seeing that his father agreed to let him go home, Li An felt a little sorry for him. However, his heart was broken into pieces, like shards of glass, which could never be put together again, so he no longer expected his father's love.
I remember when my mother was still alive, he was loved by my father and would ride on his father's neck and laugh happily.
When his father came back from work, he would buy delicious snacks, candied haws, and sugar figurines for him and his brother.
When did it change? His father no longer coaxed him to play, but told him and his brother to support his younger brother's education, and there was endless work to do every day.
In fact, my father didn't know that he also wanted to study. Every time he saw his younger brother coming back from the private school with a book in his hand, he was very envious.
Unfortunately, he had to work, otherwise his mother would beat him and not let him eat.
Now, hearing about what his father's family had given him, he nodded without any expression.
Li An agreed that the village chief was not just sitting here for show, so he immediately changed the silver tribute to two taels of silver and a set of clothes.
Old Mrs. Li’s arm was broken, but she still kept jumping around despite the treatment of Dr. Yang.
When she saw that the village chief had reduced the amount of filial piety money by so much, she cried out in anxiety.
As the most important person in the village, the village chief would naturally not bother with an ignorant lady. He would only look for Old Man Li.
"Li Gui, you're really in trouble for letting a woman ride on your head."
Old man Li was already worried about the affairs of the Li family. When he heard the village chief's sarcastic words, he saw that Old Lady Li was not only unable to help, but also made things worse.
“Bang!”
