"Sir, the old man of the Li family invites you over and says he is coming to the family."
Shang Ruoyi nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Li Wenshan and his son must have invited all the elders of the Li family.
"I know." She changed her clothes, put on the mask, and walked towards the main hall.
Before she entered the main hall, she heard several voices coming from inside.
"Huai'an, you are already old now, you should let the elders take care of the family affairs."
"That's right. Wenshan and Quan'er didn't make too many mistakes when they were managing the Li family. But it's really cruel to kick them out because of some minor things."
"That's right, now you have to call us old bones over to take care of your household chores."
Li Huaian, also known as the old man of the Li family, said in a deep voice: "Kicking them out of the Li family is my family affair. My uncles are old and think it's troublesome, so just ignore it."
"You fellow, we old guys came to help you solve the problem, you don't need to thank us, but you still say such things, you are becoming more and more unruly. Since you set up your own mansion, you have been increasingly looking down on us old guys. How can you disrespect your elders just because you want to be big?" The old man sitting in the first seat sneered, "I see that you are not as good as Quan'er, that teenager."
Li Huaian frowned, facing these elders, he was angry but didn't dare to express it, for fear of really making them suffer.
At this moment, a servant came over with a tray in his hand with teacups on it. The servant was looking at Li Yin.
"Where are you taking this?"
"Sister." Li Yin said softly, "This needs to be sent to the main hall."
Shang Ruoyi turned her head to look towards the main hall, and saw several gray-haired old men sitting inside. She took a porcelain bottle and poured the spiritual spring water into the teacup. She was afraid that she would say something to them and make them faint from anger, so she took the medicine first to avoid any trouble.
Seeing this, Li Yin said nothing and brought the teacup in.
At this time, the people in the main hall were talking till their mouths were dry, and seeing the tea being served, they all started drinking it without any prior arrangement.
After taking a sip, you will feel refreshed.
Everyone couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
Li Huaian also felt that today's tea seemed to be more fragrant than before.
After drinking tea, I feel better.
The old men recovered their strength and continued to persuade him, "Huaian, you have a son named Wenshan. If you don't give this huge family business to him, do you think you can give it to him?"
"Who?" Li Huaian smiled and said, "Who is the one that uncle is talking about?"
"You drove Wenshan and Quan'er out of the mansion. Now the Li family is left with only Xia Xia, a girl. She will get married sooner or later. Do you want to give up our huge Li family business?"
Li Huaian sneered: "Uncle, I don't know how much the Li family has, but there is one thing I know, the Li family can be what it is today, but it is all accumulated by our branch. Now it seems that it is not the turn of others to tell me who to give this family business to."
"You!" the old man said coldly, "Even your father has never made such a clear distinction between us. You are here, and you actually speak to us like this. Do you still have us old guys in your eyes? Do you still respect the elders and the younger ones?"
"That's right, you can't write two Li characters with this stroke. In the end, we are all one family, sharing happiness and hardships. Now that you are rich and powerful, and you are still selling purple Dongzhu, why do you want to draw a line between you and us old men? It's a bit ungrateful."
Li Wenshan and his son stood behind those people and sneered. Now, the only ones who can deal with this old thing are the three most experienced people in the Li family.
Although the Li family is a merchant family, they still attach great importance to the respect of seniority. Li Huaian's face was livid, and he wanted to get angry but couldn't suppress it.
At this moment, Li Xia Xia stood up and said in a deep voice: "Three great grandfathers, this is our family's business after all, don't you care too much?"
Upon hearing this, the third child put down the tea in his hand and slammed the table heavily: "Huaian, is this your Li family's tutor? Now that all the elders are here, how can she, a senior, have the turn to speak?"
"Brother is right. Not only that, but there is also a girl. Girls are always money-losing. How dare she be so unruly in front of our ancestors? She should be sent to the family ancestral hall and taught a lesson."
Li Wenshan said coldly: "You don't know the rules. How can you have the right to speak in front of my great grandfather? Why don't you go back to your yard? Reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors!"
Li Quan also curled his lips: "That's right, how can you have a say here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huaian pointed at Li Quan and said, "You! Cough cough cough." Before he finished his words, he started coughing.
Seeing this, the old man in the lead hurriedly said, "Huaishan, you are not in good health, so you should hand over the Li family to the younger generation earlier. Wenshan has been in charge of the Li family for many years and has never made any mistakes. Quan'er is young and energetic, so you should pay attention to it in the future. Why do you have to care so much?"
Li Huaian was upset by the constant chatter of these old men and wanted to argue, but when he thought about their age, he couldn't bear to open his mouth. Li Xia Xia, who was wiping tears beside him, dared not say a word.
Seeing this, Li Wenshan and his son couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that their return to the Li family was imminent.
At this moment, a sneer came from the door: "What do you mean you have to hand over the Li family to him just because you are not in good health? If that's the case, you guys know that you are old and confused, so don't meddle in other people's family affairs, just take care of your own."
A few people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a black robe and a mask on his face standing at the door. There was a sneer on the corner of his lips and he looked at them with cold eyes.
"You! Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here!" The old man in white knocked heavily on the cane in front of him and said angrily: "This Li family is so arrogant that some random person from nowhere can talk to our ancestors in the main hall."
Shang Ruoyi looked at him and sneered, "Ancestor? This is really the funniest joke I have heard today. Whose ancestor are you? You have no children? Why do you have to be the ancestor of another family?" She glanced at Li Wenshan and his son behind them and sneered, "I think this father and son seem to want to be your grandchildren. Although they have been kicked out now, if you like them, you can pick them up."
Shang Ruoyi's words successfully changed the faces of the people in the main hall.
Li Xia Xia looked at her with admiration, worthy of being called Sister Dong Shang.
