at the same time.
Hu Guilan in the house asked curiously, "Did you really say those things to our father?"
As Li Ping's bedmate, she felt something was wrong at the time.
Those words were totally inconsistent with Li Ping's character.
But Li Ping didn't say anything, so she had to pretend not to know.
Li Ping waved his hands. "How could it be me who said that? If I really wanted to honor my parents-in-law, I would definitely buy it with my own money. Besides, everyone in the family knows that my father is not the head of the family. Even if I wanted to tell him, I wouldn't tell him. I would definitely tell my mother directly."
Hu Guilan nodded in agreement and then asked, "Then why did our father suddenly say those words?"
"Of course it's to shut me up." Li Ping said unhappily.
Hu Guilan was completely confused. "Shut you up? What leverage do you have over him?"
"Think about what Xiaoxu said to me."
Hu Guilan pondered for a moment, then her face changed and she asked in disbelief, "No way? He told everyone about Xiaoxu's scandal?"
"Well, he told everyone about Xiaoxu's scandals since he was a child. I even suspect he told everyone about the scandals between me and Lao San.
To be honest, the third child and I are fine. Most kids do the same things we do, so outsiders wouldn't laugh at us. But Xiaoxu is different. He does things that most people wouldn't even think of, let alone do. He's done things that would really make him laugh to death."
Hu Guilan couldn't help but believe it when she thought about how Li Xu could eat chicken shit after stealing raw eggs.
After a moment of silence, she continued to ask, "Xiao Xu is not stupid. He might not have reacted just now because he was tired after a day, but he will eventually react. If he asks you, what are you going to say?"
"I've kept it a secret for our dad for half a year, but I can't keep it a secret any longer. If Xiaoxu finds out one day that I'm hiding it from him, he might get mad at me."
Hu Guilan smacked her lips. "It looks like Xiaoxu will be furious. Dad's good days are coming to an end."
"That's what he deserves. He dared to say anything to others. It's normal for Xiaoxu to cut off his alcohol supply." Li Ping thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow morning I'll ask Xiaoxu to help buy a duck and two chickens. Together with the one our mother gave us, we'll give them to my father-in-law and his family to nourish them."
"Don't buy so much, just buy one more chicken." Hu Guilan waved her hand and said.
"It's okay. Over the past few years, they've both been in very poor health. Now that they have this opportunity, of course they need to replenish their body. Besides, it won't cost much."
Hearing this, Hu Guilan was deeply moved. She quickly extinguished the kerosene lamp and whispered, "Wenbo is already over one year old. Let's give him a sister."
"Huh?" Li Ping was stunned. Before he could react, he saw a figure rushing towards him.
...
Another house.
Sun Xiu was asking, "What happened to you just now? Did you say that, Boss?"
Li Jiakang showed an embarrassed expression, "He didn't say that, but I was just thinking about him and wanted to save him some money."
"Want to save him money?" Sun Xiu looked at him with a fake smile, her tone very unfriendly, "Why do I feel like you are trying to change the subject?"
Li Jiakang showed a trace of guilt on his face, but it disappeared in an instant. He continued stubbornly, "How is that possible? I just wanted to save him money."
His appearance made Sun Xiu even more suspicious.
Sun Xiu frowned and stared at him, which made Li Jiakang feel cold all over, but he still forced a smile and said, "Xiu'er, it's getting late, let's go to bed."
Sun Xiu suddenly said, "You didn't tell anyone about Xiaoxu's past, did you?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jiakang's face changed drastically, "No, no, I definitely didn't say that."
Seeing his expression, Sun Xiu naturally realized that she had guessed correctly. She was immediately furious and pinched the soft flesh on his waist with her hands, saying viciously, "Where's your brain? Aren't you afraid that Xiaoxu will get angry with you?"
Caught off guard, Li Jiakang cried out "Ah~" and then lowered his voice to beg for mercy, "It hurts, Xiu'er, please let go and listen to me explain."
Sun Xiu pinched her twice more, then released her hand and said, "Explain now. If you can't explain well, I'll tell Xiaoxu tomorrow."
"No, you can't tell me that. If I tell him, he'll definitely stop me from drinking." Li Jiakang ignored the pain in his waist and explained quickly, "When I picked up Xiaomei before the New Year, I took Xiaoxu's master's car. We chatted quite well on the way, so I let Tu Lu go on a whim. But don't worry, he promised me that he would never tell anyone."
Hearing that it was for Liu Gang, Sun Xiu's expression softened a bit, but she was still a little angry. "You're scared now, but why weren't you scared when you first told me? I'm telling you, you can't hide this for a few days. Even if I don't tell you, Xiaoxu will definitely ask about it in the next couple of days."
When this matter was mentioned, Li Jiakang was furious. "It's all the boss's fault. If he hadn't been watching me, how could this have happened?"
"Bah, if you hadn't done this, would the boss have kept watching you? From what you're saying, it seems the boss knew all along and kept it a secret from you for so long. If Xiaoxu knew about this, he'd probably be mad at him as the eldest brother, mad at him for not telling anyone. And you're not satisfied with having a son like him? How can you say that to him?"
These words left Li Jiakang stunned.
It took a while to come back to his senses, "Okay, okay, the eldest brother is a good son, now tell me what to do?"
"What do I do? What does this have to do with me? I didn't tell anyone about this. Turn off the lights and go to bed."
After saying this, Sun Xiu closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Li Jiakang was very anxious. "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, don't sleep yet. Give me some advice. If not, say something nice to me and that little bastard Lao Er will listen to you."
Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, Sun Xiu ignored him.
She was thinking of a sentence in her heart - it's his own fault.
After shouting for a while but still hearing nothing, Li Jiakang was completely desperate.
I extinguished the oil lamp, lay in bed and kept thinking about it until I fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Early in the morning.
After being woken up, Li Xu listlessly washed up in the yard.
After a while, Li Ping came out of the house and walked straight to his side. "Xiao Xu, when you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things later, please bring me two chickens and a duck. Take this thirty yuan first. If it's not enough, come back and ask your sister-in-law for it."
He stuffed the money into Li Xu's pocket and turned away.
"Wait a minute, big brother, don't go yet." Li Xu rinsed his mouth with water and shouted in a low voice.
Li Ping turned around and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Li Xu chuckled, "Brother, what exactly did you not finish saying yesterday?"
