Li Jiakang sneered, "Does that count as a holiday?"
Li Xu was too stubborn to say, "Of course it counts."
Seeing this, Li Jiakang didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore, so he turned around and went into the house.
In fact, we now have the New Year's Day holiday.
It's just that everyone loves to work, so they volunteered to work overtime...
Li Mei also said, "Come in, we'll have breakfast soon."
"I haven't washed up yet."
Li Mei: ...
"You haven't washed up yet, and you're just standing here sighing?"
Li Xu chuckled, "It's not too late for me to go now."
After saying that, he ran to the side to wash up.
During breakfast, Sun Xiu said, "Today is New Year's Day. Guilan, make some dumplings during the day so we can have some for dinner."
Hu Guilan hesitated and asked, "Mom, is it filled with pickles?"
Sun Xiu nodded.
There is no other way. The conditions are not good enough now, so everyone can only eat dumplings stuffed with pickles, which can be considered as a way to celebrate the festival.
Li Chen immediately yelled, "Mom, I want to eat meat dumplings, not those stuffed with pickles."
Li Jiakang glared at him and said, "If you don't want to eat, get out! Do you believe I can starve you for two days?"
Li Chen was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
Sun Xiu said angrily, "I want to eat meat dumplings, but where's the meat? I think you've had too much of a good life and are itching all over. If your brother wasn't so capable, would you still want to eat pickled vegetable dumplings? I'm lucky you didn't starve to death. Your father is right. I'll starve you for two days and you'll know."
Li Xu was about to speak.
Then I heard Li Chen muttering unconvincedly, "It's not my turn to starve to death."
Everyone: ...
Li Jiakang was so angry that his face turned blue.
Li Ping put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked to Li Chen.
He grabbed his collar and pulled him out.
Not only was he not angry, but he said in a friendly manner, "Little brother, tell me, whose turn it is?"
Li Chen had already realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment, and his lips trembled, "Brother, I was just talking nonsense."
"You're talking nonsense?" Li Ping nodded, his face suddenly darkening. "Guilan, don't cook for him for the next two days. He has to be taught a lesson, or he'll start saying nonsense in the future."
When Hu Guilan heard this, she looked at Sun Xiu and others at a loss.
Li Jiakang squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Listen, Boss, I must teach this rebellious son a lesson."
Even Sun Xiu said with a cold face, "Let's do this. I think he's just too full now, so he dares to say anything. Let's try starving him for two days. If it doesn't work, we can add more."
Hu Guilan hesitated and said, "Dad, Mom, Xiaochen is still young. What if he is hungry these two days?"
Li Jiakang slammed the table and said, "Let him starve to death, and I'll just pretend I never had this son."
Sun Xiu also said, "Don't worry about it, just do it."
Seeing that the two heads of the family said so, Hu Guilan had no choice but to agree.
Li Xu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They never expected that Li Chen would be so stubborn as to say such a thing.
But no one dared to persuade him.
Li Chen was also tearful after hearing the result of his treatment. His face turned pale. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to say nonsense again."
Li Jiakang stared at him intently. "Even if you're talking nonsense, given our family's current situation, do you really want to talk nonsense outside? If you were to talk nonsense outside, do you know what the consequences would be for our family?"
After listening to it, Li Chen thought about it, then shuddered and said, "Then I am not talking nonsense?"
Li Jiakang slammed the table again, then stood up, pointing at Li Chen and cursing, "You little bastard, I knew you were born to be rebellious. Tell me, if it's not your turn, then whose turn will it be? Me or your mother? Or your sister or your elder brother?"
The others were also waiting for Li Chen's answer with great interest.
Li Chen: ...
No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that this was a fatal question.
Besides, he is not stupid.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself twice.
I secretly cursed myself for being so stubborn just now.
Knowing that he couldn't escape this disaster, Li Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I was just talking nonsense."
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. This is a principle we all know without being taught.
If you really offend everyone, you will have no way out.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
You can talk nonsense.
Just treat it.
But if your feelings towards your family are so indifferent, then there is no hope.
Li Xu also pleaded for the unfortunate child, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I think starving him for a day will teach him a lesson."
Li Chen nodded quickly when he saw someone pleading for mercy. "Yes, yes, one day will be enough. I will definitely not talk nonsense anymore."
Li Ping and the other two looked at each other and saw that Li Jiakang and his wife nodded.
Li Pingcai said, "Okay, this time it's your second brother who pleaded for you. You must remember this. If you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, no one's plea will be of any use."
Li Chen was also overjoyed, "Yes, yes, brother, I will remember it."
Li Ping said, "Hmm," and then he said, "Go out and stand there."
Li Chen immediately ran out, found his old seat and stood up.
After he left, the atmosphere in the room eased.
Li Xu asked again, "Brother, I'm just stubborn. What's this?"
Li Ping waved his hand. "He's been talking more and more without restraint lately. His old problem has improved a lot, but now he has a new one. Besides, given our family's current situation, if he keeps talking nonsense outside, how can we continue to live like this?"
Sun Xiu also spoke up, "Xiao Xu, your elder brother did the right thing. It's time to punish him, or he'll cause trouble for us outside. If you hadn't begged me just now, I would have starved him for two days."
Li Jiakang also echoed.
Li Xu:?
Good boy, so you really want to starve him for two days...
Li Xu originally thought that it was just talk and that he would definitely not let Li Chen go hungry for such a long time.
In addition, I feel quite sympathetic towards this unfortunate child for the consequences caused by his stubbornness.
That's why I went up to beg for mercy and just starve him for a day.
I didn't expect they were serious about it.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu smiled and said, "It's okay. One day is enough for him to learn his lesson."
Li Mei also laughed, "That's not necessarily true."
Li Xu smiled proudly, "Sister-in-law, I'll get you some meat later, along with two bottles of white wine and some glutinous rice balls. You can make some meat dumplings during the day, and then fry two meat dishes in the evening. We can have a few drinks, and then have some glutinous rice balls before going to bed. With what we've eaten today, I don't believe he won't learn his lesson."
This is what Li Xu wanted to say just now.
As a result, Li Chen spoke first.
Everyone was stunned.
Li Mei's eyes lit up, "Xiao Xu, do these things really exist?"
The others also stared at Li Xu closely.
"Really? Today is a holiday, and I got it specially last night."
In fact, this is what the New Year’s Day gift package gives you.
