Going to apologize to his former stepson, and apologizing while slapping himself in the face, was a huge insult to Yang Chengye.
Li Xu never thought that he would agree, and said this purely to disgust him.
But what Li Xu didn't expect was that Yang Chengye not only agreed, he also wanted more, "I'll give myself a hundred slaps in the face, can you exempt me from all punishment?"
When Yang's mother heard this, her expression changed. She reached out and grabbed Yang Chengye's arm, saying anxiously, "Boss, face is more important than money. Owing a little money is nothing. As long as you are alive, you can always pay it back. If you lose face, you can never pick it up again. Let's go back."
Yang Chengye shook his head, a bitter expression on his face. "After all my current situation, how can I still have any dignity?"
Then he looked at Li Xu and continued the previous topic, "Is what I said okay?"
Li Xu smacked his lips, thinking that he had messed up and would have to let Li Mei trouble others again.
Just as he was about to respond, Li Ping spoke up first, "No, the most you can do is reduce the penalty time by half."
He was worried that Li Xu would suddenly agree, so he spoke out loud first.
Li Xu understood what he meant and agreed with a hint of embarrassment, "Yes, no. If you want, just do as I say."
Although Yang Chengye was a little disappointed, he still agreed, "Okay, let's start now?"
Seeing that he was determined, Yang's mother made up her mind and asked, "Can I do it for my man?"
It has to be said that her feelings for Yang Chengye are indeed very deep, and she is willing to take his place.
But no matter what, Yang's mother is still Yang Dong's biological mother. If she hits him, even if the two have severed their relationship, it will be a big blow to the reputation of Li Mei and her husband if the news gets out.
So the Li Ping brothers decisively refused.
Seeing that Mother Yang wanted to speak, Yang Chengye quickly pulled her back and said, "I'll take care of this."
Seeing this, Li Xu turned and walked towards the yard.
At this time, Li Mei and Yang Dong were teasing the child in the main room, and they seemed to not care about what was happening outside at all.
Li Xu casually touched the little face of Li Mei's daughter Li Xiumin, and then told her the general situation.
After hearing this, Li Mei was speechless. "You're really going to cause me trouble. I should have let you do it earlier."
The moment Yang Dong heard that his mother was willing to replace Yang Chengye, he secretly clenched his fists, but in the blink of an eye he loosened them as if nothing had happened.
Li Xu chuckled, "I said I would do it, but you disagreed. It's too late to regret it now."
"Alright, hurry up and call them in. Once we finish fanning them, you can go back and rest soon."
Li Xu responded, turned around and went out, and quickly brought the person in.
This was the first time that Yang Chengye and his wife stepped into this yard and saw the scene inside.
The huge yard, the numerous houses, and the brand new furniture in the main room made them not only envious but also regretful.
In fact, they have often felt regretful since Li Mei became the factory director.
They regretted not being nicer to Yang Dong at the beginning, otherwise they might be able to get benefits from Li Mei now.
It is even possible for Li Mei to marry into the Yang family.
Of course, they are just daydreaming.
Given the conditions of the Yang family, should Li Mei marry into the family to help alleviate poverty?
Regardless of whether she is willing or not, the Li family is definitely not willing.
Besides, Li Mei fell in love with Yang Dong simply because he was willing to marry into her family, had no family to burden her, and was also decent looking.
If any of these three conditions are not met, Li Mei will ignore him.
Seeing people coming in, Li Mei and Yang Dong each picked up a child and placed them on their laps, letting the children face themselves, and then reached out to cover the children's ears.
Seeing the little kid pulling at her hand anxiously, Li Mei hurriedly said to Yang Chengye, "Hurry up and hit him, move faster."
Li Ping added, "You have to use force, otherwise it doesn't count."
Yang Chengye took a deep breath, swung his arms left and right, and started hitting himself in the face. He said "I'm sorry" every time he hit himself.
You know what, he really tried hard.
After just over ten times, both cheeks became visibly swollen and his voice became unclear.
After thirty hits, the person could hardly stand.
Li Mei finally vented her anger and said, "Hurry up and leave. Don't stand here and get in the way."
Li Xu said, "I'll do what I promised you tomorrow, but I still want to remind you again, don't do anything that makes me unhappy again."
Yang Chengye nodded, turned and left, and his mother hurried forward to support him.
Seeing them walk out of the door, Li Xu turned back to the main room and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, are you relieved now?"
Yang Dong nodded repeatedly, his face full of joy. "It feels so good, so good. To be honest, I never thought that someone as proud as him would apologize to me and slap himself in front of me."
"Neither of us thought he would be willing to do this," Li Ping said with a smile. "Luckily, Xiaoxu only agreed to cut the time in half and didn't promise anything else. Otherwise, Xiaomei's efforts would have been in vain."
Li Xu pretended to cough twice. Seeing him like this, the others laughed even more happily.
After a few words, the Li Ping brothers said goodbye and left.
After returning home, everyone in the Li family expressed their relief after hearing what had happened, and some even regretted not going with them.
The next day, Li Mei contacted the food company leader and reduced Yang Chengye's punishment by half.
Yang Chengye is really amazing. He didn't even ask for leave even though his face was so swollen.
Although his colleagues guessed that his injury was related to someone he had offended, he refused to admit it and insisted that his injury was caused by a fight with his wife.
