Chapter 191 Old Lady Zheng Shows Her Power
Li Sanlang was deeply moved by Mr. Li's words. In his opinion, his father regretted mistreating his daughter, son, and wife. It was normal for the elderly to be partial to each other in any family. There was no elderly who was not partial. Look, didn't his father regret it now? Didn't he want to make amends?
Although it's just verbal, it's also rare. Everything requires a process, right?
Moreover, if the family had not been divided, Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng would have had a say in this matter.
Even if we take a step back, they are our own grandparents. How could they harm their own granddaughter?
Li Sanlang wanted to agree almost immediately.
"Dad, you said..."
"I'm still young, grandpa. There's no need to rush this matter." Li Mingxia quickly glanced at Li Sanlang and interrupted him before he could speak.
Li Sanlang nodded and agreed with Li Mingxia's words, "Yes, Dad, Mingxia is not too old. Her mother and I want to keep her for two more years. There is no rush for these things. Even though Mingxia is a girl, her mother and I treasure her and cannot let her down."
After hearing what Li Sanlang said, Zhang was happy and a smile appeared on her face. Even Li Mingxia relaxed a little.
But Mrs. Zheng, who was sitting on the kang, didn't like what she said. Even some of the older relatives who came to visit thought it was too much. How could you treat a little girl as a treasure? In the end, she would belong to someone else's family.
Among them, there was Li Sanlang who wanted to call him Second Master, and the old man whom Mr. Li wanted to call uncle frowned tightly and shook his head repeatedly.
Old Mrs. Zheng was not someone who would let herself be wronged. She snorted coldly and glared at Li Sanlang fiercely.
"Why is your little girl so precious? Who do you have in your eyes? Not to mention your sister, you don't even care about me and your father, right? Third brother, you really have no conscience now!"
Li Mei'e sat on the kang close to Old Lady Zheng. After looking at Xue Li and Song Li for a few times, she looked at Li Mingxia as if she were an enemy. She pouted, pulled at Old Lady Zheng's clothes, and called her mother in grievance.
This made Old Mrs. Zheng very distressed. She held Li Mei'e's hand and started cursing.
"What's wrong with your daughter? Are you going to marry her off to an official as his wife? Don't you know how much you weigh, or whether this worthless girl is worthy of you? Keep her for a few more years? No one wants her now. In a few years, even if you throw her on the street, no one will even look at her. All the bachelors in the village will avoid her!"
Li Sanlang's smile didn't even have time to fade away before he was frightened by Mrs. Zheng's sudden insult and his face froze.
No one could predict what Old Mrs. Zheng would do in the next second, not even Old Mr. Li, who had spent his whole life with her.
Just like now, no one could have imagined that Old Lady Zheng would suddenly attack and hurt someone for no reason and regardless of the circumstances.
Of course, she must have felt that her outburst was justified and reasonable, and she didn't even think that the words she said were unpleasant or uncomfortable. She just felt that she was the supreme leader of the family, and others could only listen and watch whatever she said and did, saying that she was right and did a good job, or that she was unfilial and wished she would die.
"Shut up! What day is today? Why are you saying these things? Is now the time to talk about these things?" Old Master Li was almost pissed off by Old Lady Zheng. There are so many people here, and they are scolding Li Mingxia like this. Is it only Li Sanlang's family who are embarrassed?
But Li Mei'e was very happy. She couldn't help but grin when she heard Old Lady Zheng scolding Li Mingxia. She looked down upon Old Man Li for trying to stop it.
"Li Mingxia is my mother's granddaughter. What's wrong with scolding her? Even if I hit her, she has to listen. Is she no longer a member of the Li family after she is separated? Don't you have old people in your eyes?" Li Mei'e sat up straight, held her voice, and spoke in a deliberately pretentious manner.
Li Mingxia glanced at her. Li Mei'e probably wanted to act like a lady from a noble family who knew etiquette, honor, shame and how to advance and retreat. However, she was usually arrogant and domineering. Now she looked very incongruous and had no aesthetic appeal. However, Li Mei'e did not feel embarrassed at all. She even felt that she was so beautiful in such an attitude. She became more and more shy under the gaze of everyone.
"My daughter is right! Third brother, how did you teach your daughter?" After hearing what her daughter said, Old Mrs. Zheng wanted to clap her hands and cheer. She was just being considerate to her own daughter. What's the point of counting on these bastards!
"Master, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Li Mingxia didn't want to argue with Old Lady Zheng about these things. At this moment, she only wanted to use this as an excuse to leave as soon as possible. The air in the old house was depressing to her.
Mr. Li pulled Li Mingxia's hand, but Li Mingxia brushed it away calmly.
With an unpleasant expression, Song Li endured it again and again, and almost spoke directly several times, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Li Mingxia and Li Zhengde.
After all, his rudeness to Li Zhengxue was, frankly, a matter between him and Li Zhengxue, and other people would not comment too much on it between their peers. However, it was different for Old Lady Zheng and Old Man Li, as they were the serious elders of Li Zhengde and Li Mingxia, and people would tend to favor the older ones emotionally.
Song Li has already realized that there is no such thing as reason in this old house. Seeing a woman like Li Mingxia having to swallow her anger, he can imagine what kind of life they lived before they separated.
He didn't want to cause trouble to Li Mingxia just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Xue Li was just the opposite. Seeing that Song Li didn't say anything and Li Mingxia had a calm expression, he felt that this was a good time for him to speak.
"Old lady, your words are too harsh. Miss Li is a girl, how can she listen to such words? As a good friend of Zhengde, I can't stand it anymore. Old man, you should also persuade her." Xue Li frowned and sighed.
As Li Zhengxue's classmate, Xue Li brought dazzling and expensive gifts when he visited the Li family for the first time. To the people in the Li family's old house, he was undoubtedly the highest-level guest. The elders who came to visit also believed that this person came to the Li family for Li Zhengxue. When they heard him say that he was also a good friend of Li Zhengde, everyone's eyes looked a little strange.
