Li Jianye, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, was quite satisfied with his youngest son. Because he was the youngest in the family, Li Jianye also favored him more.
He couldn't bear to see his son suffer any more, so he said to his wife, "Alright, stop pressuring your son. Even if he doesn't like you, you can't force him. We don't have arranged marriages. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. When the time comes, they will bring their daughter-in-law back to you."
Yang Jinping snorted and said, "You're the one who always indulges them. Your two sons haven't found a partner yet, and you're not worried at all?"
Li Jianye said, "You were the one who chose the eldest son's wife. Look at your judgment. Now my eldest son is suffering so much."
Yang Jinping also knew that she had misjudged her eldest daughter-in-law and said a little embarrassedly, "Who knew she was so good at pretending? She is completely different before and after marriage."
Li Jianye said, "That's why your judgment is poor. It's better to let your sons choose for themselves. Even if they make the wrong choice, they can't blame you in the future."
Yang Jinping snorted and waved her hands, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll just stop caring about it. What's going to happen if your son can't find a partner and remains single in the future?"
Li Jianye said proudly: "My three sons are all excellent. How could they not find a partner? It's just that they haven't found someone they like."
Yang Jinping curled her lips. "You're such a boaster! It's a wonder any girl would like your second son, who always has a cold face. Your youngest son is no less arrogant. If you don't care about it now, you'll be worried later."
Li Shaozhong watched his parents bickering and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry so much. Just take good care of my dad. I might bring your daughter-in-law back someday. As for the Wang family's idea of marriage, just turn it down."
Yang Jinping couldn't really force her son, so she said, "This is the only way."
After finally returning to Kyoto, Li Shaozhong took Ye Shuning and her mother shopping for a whole day and bought a lot of things for Ye Shuning. Ye Shuning had no choice but to accept them.
Yang Jingping also bought Ye Shuning a lot of things: food, clothes, and daily necessities. She felt it was pitiful for the little girl to be stranded in a foreign land, afraid to return home. The little girl had just settled in Fengyang Village and must be lacking a lot of things, so she bought Ye Shuning a lot of daily necessities.
Finally, Ye Shuning looked at the two large bags of things that the Li family prepared for her and felt a little overwhelmed. "Auntie, this is too much. I really don't need so many things."
Yang Jinping said, "These are things you need for daily life. You must take them back with you. You can't stay for a few more days this time. Wait until the Chinese New Year and ask your third brother to bring you back to celebrate the New Year."
Li Shaozhong said from the side, "Kyoto has a wider selection of things, and it's more convenient than where we are, so just accept them with confidence. My second brother has repeatedly urged me to buy some things for you, and if you don't want them, I won't be able to explain myself later."
Ye Shuning had no choice but to accept it, thinking that she would have the chance to send some things to the Li family in the future.
In the evening, there were guests at the Li family again. They were a couple and their daughter. They heard that Li Shaozhong had returned and came to visit.
After being introduced, Ye Shuning learned that the family's surname was Zhao, and the girl was named Zhao Huixin. Ye Shuning recalled that in that period novel, it seemed that the person Yan Jingwen eventually married was named Zhao Huixin. This Zhao Huixin, who had defeated all her rivals and married Yan Jingwen, was no ordinary person.
Don't be fooled by this girl's gentle, well-educated appearance; she's actually quite ruthless. In the end, people like Xue Lili were secretly manipulated by Zhao Huixin. She sold them out and forced them to help her count the money. And yet, on the surface, no one knew Zhao Huixin's true identity.
Moreover, the Li family's subsequent troubles seemed to be related to the Zhao family. Although the Zhao and Li families seemed to be on good terms now, in the end, the Zhao family stabbed the Li family in the back.
She had to remind Li Shaozhong to be wary of the Zhao family.
She found that the Zhao family was very enthusiastic towards Li Shaozhong, and Zhao Huixin also frequently talked to Li Shaozhong.
Ye Shuning was a little confused. Zhao Huixin finally married Yan Jingwen, so why did she seem interested in Li Shaozhong now?
Could it be that Zhao Huixin finally fell in love with someone else?
Ye Shuning thought about it and felt that it was very likely that something had happened to the Li family, and Zhao Huixin had abandoned Li Shaozhong and captured Yan Jingwen. Ye Shuning felt that she needed to be more careful with this woman.
They had to leave the next day, after all, Li Shaozhong's work could not be delayed.
Seeing that they were about to leave for the train station, Ye Shuning didn't care about anything else and pulled Li Shaozhong to a corner and said, "Brother Li San, before we leave, please remind Uncle Li to be careful of the family that came yesterday."
Li Shaozhong was stunned when he heard this and said, "Are you talking about the Zhao family?"
Ye Shuning nodded, "It's the Zhao family."
Li Shaozhong stared at Ye Shuning and asked, "Did you hear something?"
Ye Shuning said, "When we were shopping yesterday, I went to the restroom and heard two people talking about your family and the Zhao family. It seemed like someone wanted to harm your family, and the Zhao family was involved."
Li Shaozhong had no reason to doubt Ye Shuning's words. Besides, he would rather believe it than not. It didn't hurt to be on guard.
He said, "I'll remind you Uncle Li."
Having said everything that needed to be said, Ye Shuning no longer worried about it. She couldn't control what happened in the end.
When Wang Qianru learned that Li Shaozhong was leaving, she also came to Li's house, ready to see him off and also to make her presence felt.
Li Shaozhong knew what Wang Qianru was thinking and deliberately avoided her, not wanting to cause misunderstanding.
Wang Qianru also clearly felt Li Shaozhong's coldness and avoidance. Even Li Shaozhong's mother was not as enthusiastic towards her as before. She felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
Seeing the two large bags of things the Li family had prepared for Ye Shuning, she clearly felt the Li family's discriminatory treatment, which made Wang Qianru very upset.
She has liked Li Shaozhong for many years and has been waiting for him to come to her senses, waiting for the two of them to fall in love with each other and finally come to fruition.
She is already 24 years old this year, which is quite old. Most girls of her age are married, so this year her family has intentionally or unintentionally proposed to the Li family to form a marriage.
However, Li Shaozhong's mother never gave them a clear answer, claiming that she had to obey her son's wishes.
Judging from the attitude of the Li family today, it was very likely that Li Shaozhong did not agree to her marriage. However, as long as the Li family did not explicitly reject her proposal, she still had hope.
She didn't think Li Shaozhong had a crush on someone. He must have been still unaware and still focused on his work. She would continue to wait, until he realized her feelings.
But seeing Li Shaozhong speaking softly and caringly to Ye Shuning, he felt very upset.
It would be great if Li Shaozhong could treat her like this someday. The more she looked at Ye Shuning, the more annoying she felt.
