Chapter 42 Old Man Li vents his anger on the second wife
Li Youfu quickly greeted him with a smile: "Brother, you're here so early."
Li Youshan glanced at him and replied calmly: "Yeah."
This guy hasn't given up yet.
These days I come to hang out with him every few days.
Li Dalin stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle, are you going to pick bamboo shoots? I happen to have nothing to do, I'll help you pick them."
"No need." Li Youshan said, and walked forward quickly.
Li Youfu and his son hurried to catch up.
"Brother, we are a family after all, brothers. I have nothing to do at home, so I can help you pick bamboo shoots so that you don't have to worry about what to do.
Dad heard that you guys have been very busy lately, and he didn’t let me tell you when he sprained his ankle the other day, fearing that he would delay your work. He also asked me to help you, and if I don’t listen to him, wouldn’t that be unfilial?”
Li Youshan didn't respond. If he wanted to follow, then let him follow.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Youfu and his son looked at each other and said nothing more, just followed silently.
When we arrived at Zhushan, we saw a few people picking bamboo shoots. When they saw Li Youshan and his friends, they looked a little unnatural, and then they hurried to greet them.
The family politely responded that the bamboo mountain was not theirs, and whether they wanted to pick some bamboo shoots to eat or to make money, no one had the right to say anything.
Li Wanyue thought for a moment and looked at Li Youfu and said, "Second Uncle, eldest cousin, our family has enough bamboo shoots to break for what we need. You can go and do your own things. You don't have to follow us."
Li Youfu said, "I told you, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll help you pick some."
"Uncle, can you understand what I'm saying? We can pick bamboo shoots by ourselves, so we don't need help from others."
When Li Youfu heard this, he thought that this was insulting him and he was not a human being. He immediately got angry and said, "You little girl, why do you care about me? You can pick bamboo shoots, but we can't? We are picking them, and it has nothing to do with you."
Li Wanyue raised her voice and said, "Oh, the bamboo shoots picked by Second Uncle have nothing to do with us, okay."
After saying that, he took his family away before starting to pick the fruits.
Li Youfu and his son were puzzled by what she said. What did she mean? Then they followed her and picked bamboo shoots.
There were so many people that Li Youshan's family quickly counted the number and went back.
When they got home and the others walked in, Li Youshan immediately stopped them at the door: "You followed me all the way. You're still following me now that we're at the door? Go back and eat."
The smiles on the faces of Li Youfu and his son froze. Li Dalin said, "Uncle, we are picking bamboo shoots from you. Take these bamboo shoots in."
Li Youfu followed up and said, "Brother, this shouldn't be over yet. Just tell me what kind of work you need. I can do it."
"Yes, uncle, you and aunt have been busy for several days. Sit down and take a rest now. Let me and dad do it."
Li Youshan said, "The work for your family is all done by Dalin's wife. If you really have nothing to do, why don't you chop some firewood and feed the pigs for your family? You are not ashamed to let one woman do all the work for the whole family."
Li Youfu's patience ran out. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he was pulled back by Li Dalin, who said, "Okay, we'll leave first. Uncle, please come to us if you have any questions."
"Um."
Li Dalin dragged Li Youfu away.
Li Youfu pushed him away: "Why did you drag me away? We have been working for nothing for so long."
Li Dalin looked at his father who was losing his temper and advised: "Dad, this matter cannot be rushed. It is obvious that uncle has seen through our intentions and he is on guard against us."
"What should I do?"
"Let's lean over the wall and watch."
The two waited for a while, walked around the earth wall, and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Before he could raise his head, a basin of cold water was poured over him.
The two of them were instantly soaked.
"Ouch."
Zhao Suying came out and saw the two men in such a mess. She sneered in her heart, but said, "Uncle, why haven't you left yet? You are squatting under the wall of my house. What are you trying to peek at?"
Li Youfu was caught, and an unnatural look flashed across his face. He coughed and said, "Didn't I just sprain my ankle? I was thinking I'd take a break before I go on. I never thought you'd splash water here."
"What are you talking about? I can't even splash water on the wall of my own house? You keep splashing water like this. His second uncle should stop squatting by the wall in the future, otherwise he will splash manure on you next time."
"Zhao Suying, you..."
Li Youshan walked out with a cold face: "Okay, just call your sister-in-law by her name. Who taught you to be so ignorant of the rules? I have to go talk to others about this later."
Li Youfu only hated himself for speaking too quickly and forgetting that there were neighbors around. Fortunately, it was still early and not many people went out, so no one should have heard what he said. If others knew, it would affect his family's reputation and his mother would definitely scold him. He could only swallow his anger.
He snorted coldly and left in a hurry with Li Dalin. It would be better to let the old man handle this matter.
After breakfast, Li Wanyue took a short break and took out the astragalus she bought yesterday and poured some white wine to soak it.
Then I heard an old voice outside the yard shouting, "Li Youshan, get out here!"
Li Wanyue frowned. This was her step-grandfather. She heard that her biological grandmother passed away when her father was a child. Not long after, this step-grandfather couldn't wait to marry a step-grandmother, under the pretext of finding a stepmother to take care of Li Youshan. He listened to his step-grandmother in everything. This grandfather was really cold-hearted.
She walked into the yard and saw several people gathered outside to watch the fun because of his shout.
Li Youshan and Zhao Suying immediately walked to the yard and saw Old Man Li walking quickly, followed by Old Lady Li and Li Youfu.
Li Youshan sighed: "Sit inside."
Just as Old Man Li was about to walk into the main room, Old Lady Li grabbed his arm.
Old Mrs. Li pulled Old Man Li and persuaded him gently, but she forced Old Man Li to sit on a stool in the yard.
"Master, even if Dashan is wrong, he is still your son after all. You should talk to him nicely. There are still the younger generations here. Even if you are angry, don't get angry in front of them and scare them."
Li Youfu quickly chimed in: "Yes, Dad, it's just that my elder brother threw out the bamboo shoots that Dalin and I picked for him, and he was splashed with a basin of water. It's not a big deal. It's not like winter today, so he won't catch a cold."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sneeze.
Li Wanyue watched the two acting with amusement. The mother and son sang in unison, and the eye drops were really good.
That’s amazing. Even though he knew there were people watching, he didn’t go into the house and let others hear it.
Then they would put the blame on their own father first, so that people would have a preconceived idea and naturally tend to side with them.
As expected, Old Man Li got even angrier. He slapped the wooden table, pointed at Li Youshan and angrily said, "I gave birth to you and raised you, but I made a mistake. If you are angry, just vent it on me. Youfu and Dalin are kind enough to help you, so if you don't accept it, then forget it. Why do you want to throw cold water on them?"
Li Youshan had a blank expression on his face. He no longer had the affection he had as a child for his father, who only cared about his stepmother and step-siblings. The relationship between father and son had long since faded.
He said, "Youfu came here once before. I told him about the bamboo shoots. We have enough manpower and don't need his help. He picked the bamboo shoots for his own consumption.
And Suying splashed water from the wall. Who knew that the father and son would squat in the corner of my house? I didn't care whether he wanted to steal our things. He actually called Suying's name directly, and his mouth was dirty. Is there any brother who calls his sister-in-law's name directly? This should not be taught by you. "
