After dinner, Li Shuhua took her to the living room to formally greet the family.
Glancing at Li Xiujun, who was holding a cup of tea, Li Qing helped Old Lady Li massage her shoulders, her tone very intimate: "Grandma, this is my sister's first time visiting our house, so she probably didn't know that you never drink green tea."
"We are sisters. You can ask me before making tea. Anyway, I have nothing to do these days and I am quite free."
In just two sentences, he not only highlighted the closeness of his relationship with the Li family as they grew up together, but also implied that she was not willing to put her heart into her work and was too lazy to even ask a question.
With such a talent for sowing discord, it would be a shame not to make a movie about sowing discord.
If it were still the feudal dynasty, who could surpass her cunning?
Li Xiujun was not affected at all and directly stuffed the teacup into the palm of Mrs. Li's hand.
Firstly, she had come to the Li family solely for the sake of her fourth uncle and aunt, and had never considered the idea of ​​recognizing her relatives. Secondly, after hearing about her parents' past, she had no good feelings towards this blood-related grandmother.
To put it bluntly, it's just a formality.
Caught off guard, something was handed to her and Old Mrs. Li caught it out of inertia. After she came to her senses, her face turned pale and she pointed at her nose and started cursing.
"She's so vulgar and uneducated. How could I have such an unfilial granddaughter? She's not even as good as one of Qing'er's fingers. Is this how you treat your elders?"
"Grandma, please don't be angry." Li Qing secretly rejoiced, but she still looked like she was trying to smooth things over. "My sister didn't mean it. After all, she grew up outside, so it's normal for her to be neglected."
Neglecting discipline? This is clearly arrogant.
Patting grandma on the back, she said, "Sister, you should apologize to grandma right away. It's not a big deal. It would be bad if it leads to a misunderstanding."
Li Qing hadn't imagined being able to kick her out of the house all at once. But adding a little more chaos and creating more barriers in her grandmother's heart seemed worth it.
After all, after eighteen years of hard life, he finally found his relatives and discovered that they had considerable property.
Even if she only had a little bit of it, it would be enough for her to squander most of her life.
Li Xiujun remained calm, but her words were shocking: "Why should I apologize? I never even considered recognizing any relationship with you."
She had talked with her fourth uncle on the way here and was very satisfied with her current life. Recognizing her relatives was just the icing on the cake.
She already has a grandfather who treats her very well, so why should she try to build any relationship with him?
Li Qing was stunned. She didn't expect to get such an answer and was speechless for a moment.
She was so ecstatic. If she had known that she could easily provoke the other party to say such outrageous words, she should have done so long ago.
As expected, Old Lady Li became even more furious and slammed her right hand on the table: "Stinky girl, say that again if you have the guts."
"Just say it, I never want to acknowledge any relatives. Please don't come to me again in the future. It really wastes my time and energy."
When I eat, drink tea, or say anything, I have to spend a long time imagining what's going on.
If you have this free time, you might as well spend some time repairing more antiques.
Seeing that her grandmother's face was not right, Li Qing repeatedly advised: "Sister, even if you are angry, you can't joke about recognizing your relatives. If there is anything wrong with what we just said, I am here to apologize to you."
"What's the point of compensating?" Old Madam Li's chest heaved with rage. "Did we say anything wrong? You're just an uneducated, wild girl. Okay, let her be. We don't have such a person in our Li family."
I thought it was just a matter of having one more person to talk to, but I didn't expect Li Xiujun to be so ungrateful.
At worst, just consider it as saving food rations.
Seeing Li Xiujun turn around and leave, Li Shuhua and Wang Junyao looked at each other and hurriedly chased after her.
"Xiujun! Xiujun! It's all our fault for not thinking carefully enough. We just wanted to take you home quickly, but we ended up causing you trouble and ended up doing something terrible."
When two younger generations were bickering with each other, they, as the elders, were afraid that if they spoke without thinking, they would be considered to be deliberately biased.
The only surprise came from Old Mrs. Li.
Ever since Yongmei eloped with that man, she would be scolded whenever someone mentioned it in front of her. I had thought that bringing Yongmei's daughter back would help change things.
I didn't expect that the old lady's obsession was so deep.
Fourth uncle and fourth aunt are the only two people in the family who treat her well. How could Li Xiujun possibly blame them?
She turned around and smiled at the two of them, comforting them: "Thank you, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Sister-in-law. If you hadn't come to find me, I'm afraid I wouldn't know my life experience in my next life. Besides, it's me who doesn't want to go back."
Wang Junyao took this as an excuse and thought for a moment, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. It's hard for you to study abroad, and prices in Beijing are high. So, we will cover your living expenses for four years of college."
"No, thank you for your kindness, Sister-in-law. I still have money on me, enough for my daily living expenses."
"Yeah." Li Shuhua thought it was a good idea when he heard his wife talk about giving him pocket money. "There's no such thing as enough money. You're a girl, and you'll spend more money on things. It's settled."
He took out the envelope that he had originally intended to give to someone else from his inner pocket and handed it over.
Li Xiujun wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist her fourth uncle and thanked him.
Feeling the heaviness of the envelope, my heart warmed. This is what family feels like.
"Why are you being so polite to Fourth Uncle? If you find a good job in the future, we'll have to give you a meal as compensation."
Seeing Li Xiujun accept it, Li Shuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"My memory is so bad, oh, there's one thing I almost forgot to mention. Your parents arranged a marriage for you when you were a child. She lives next door to us. I guess they already know about your return by now."
"You're also over 18. If you want to date, you can give him priority. He's someone you know well, so you can talk to him with confidence."
Child marriage? Her parents, whom she had never met, actually set her up for a big trap?
Although my marriage with my third uncle was just a contract marriage, we did get the marriage certificate. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to explain it to them.
Li Xiujun hesitated for a moment: "Child marriage...should be canceled, right?"
"Of course it can be cancelled, but Xiujun, you should meet him first before making any conclusions. Maybe you will be attracted to each other. The young man is really nice. It's still a chance after all."
He nodded hesitantly and tried to find another topic to talk about.
This topic has been lingering among the three of them until now.
Li Xiujun had a terrible headache. In front of her were the annoying Old Lady Li and Li Qing, and behind her was a child marriage that appeared from nowhere. She also had to go back to school to continue her military training.
Life is too colorful.
