“I know what you’re thinking, but we have no choice.” Old Master Li sighed indignantly. “As long as Luo Cheng is around, we can forget about getting any benefits from our third son!”
When Aunt Li heard her old man’s words, her face was filled with unwillingness.
“If I can’t get any benefits, I can just stay at our third son’s house. No matter what, I’m his biological mother. There’s no excuse for a son to not acknowledge his mother!”
When Sr. Li heard his wife’s words, he was a little tempted.
To be honest, in this situation, the old couple could only suffer if they followed their eldest son or second son.
Their third son was a soft-hearted person. Perhaps if they acted pitifully, they would be able to move in.
“This time, we can’t use force!” Sr. Li thought of something and said.
Aunt Li nodded and the old couple discussed.
The next day, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng didn’t go to the shop.
Because the wedding was approaching, the two of them needed to go to town to buy things and make final arrangements.
Besides, after Li Shun and the others’ house was built, they still needed to buy new furniture.
Therefore, the couple took the ox cart to town to buy something.
As soon as the couple left, Sr. Li and Aunt Li found an opportunity to find the shop.
When Zhao Xiu saw Sr. Li and Aunt Li appear in the shop, she wasn’t surprised at all.
Zhao Xiu gave Li Xiaoqing a look.
When Li Xiaoqing saw this, she walked towards Wen Lu and muttered something in her ear.
Wen Lu nodded and walked towards Sr. Li and Aunt Li.
“Are you two here to eat noodles? Come, come, come. Please sit inside! I
wonder what you two want to eat?” Wen Shun asked with a smile.
“We’re not here to eat noodles. We’re here to look for your shop owner! Zhao Xiu, Zhao Xiu, where are you? Weren’t you here just now?” When Aunt Li turned around, she saw that Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing were no longer around.
“If you two come to eat noodles, we welcome you. If you’re here to cause trouble, please forgive us for refusing to serve you.” The smile on Wen Lu’s face disappeared as she warned them seriously.
“No, Zhao Xiu is my daughter-in-law and Li Xiaoqing is my granddaughter. I
came to see my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. How can we be troublemakers?!” Aunt Li began to put on airs. “You’re just a shop assistant. I’ll ask my granddaughter to fire you!”
Wen Lu sneered when she heard this.
“Granddaughter-in-law? In that case, you’re the two elders of the Li family who married off Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, and Xiao Qing! Seeing is believing. It turns out that the infamous heartless relatives actually look like this! Come, come, come. Everyone, take a good look. It’s these two disrespectful people who married off one granddaughter as a substitute for the other. Not only that, but they also kicked their granddaughter’s parents and sister out.”
“What’s more, that substitute granddaughter’s family didn’t get anything and left with nothing!”
“Come and take a look. People often say that even a vicious tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. These two sent their sons, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters away as dowry. Now, they still have the nerve to come here so shamelessly and ask for benefits!” Wen Lu exposed Sr. Li and Aunt Li’s true colors in front of everyone.
When the customers heard this, the way they looked at Aunt Li and Sr. Li changed.
“Oh my god, the owner of this shop is really unlucky to have such family members,” a customer said with a look of disgust.
“They’re not family. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that they’re enemies! They actually married off their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. How inhumane!” Another customer stood up for the owner of the shop.
More and more people criticized Sr. Li and Aunt Li. Sr. Li’s expression darkened. Then, he snorted coldly and left.
When Aunt Li saw that her man had left, she didn’t stay any longer. Before leaving, she said ruthlessly,
“Just you wait! I’ll remember you. I’ll definitely ask my son to fire you!”
Wen Lu sneered and watched the two of them leave before continuing to work.
After the old couple left, Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing walked out from behind.
“Mother, Grandpa and Grandma must have gone to look for Father!” Li Xiaoqing said firmly.
“Let them look for your father! This is a chance to see if your father has learned his lesson!” Zhao Xiu said calmly.
Just as Li Xiaoqing had expected, Sr. Li and Aunt Li went to the Luo family’s home to look for Li Shun.
Li Shun had been working in the fields recently, so the old couple quickly found him.
When Li Shun saw that his parents had arrived, he sighed. Then, he led the two of them into the Luo family’s house.
This was the first time Sr. Li and Aunt Li had come to the Luo family’s house. When they walked in and saw such a big house and everything neatly organized, their desire to move in became even stronger.
Li Shun poured three cups of tea and invited his parents to sit at the stone table in the courtyard outside. Then, he asked, “I wonder why you two came to look for me today?”
Li Shun’s expression was very calm. He wasn’t surprised at all by his parents’ visit.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at each other, then Aunt Li spoke first.
“How are you doing?”
When Li Shun heard this. he suddenlv laughed.
“Mother, I don’t have to say anything. You can tell how I’m doing! Look, I’ve gained a lot of weight, and my face looks much plumper. My body is much healthier than before. I don’t feel any aching pain anymore!”
When Aunt Li heard Li Shun’s words, she was furious.
Her son wasn’t filial at all. He was clearly living such a good life, but he didn’t send any delicious food to show filial piety to them.
Thinking of this, Aunt Li felt enraged.
“Sigh, you’re so lucky! It’s just that your father and I are suffering! Back then, your father and I saw that your family was suffering too much, so we hid it from our eldest son and second son and sent you guys away! Don’t blame us for being ruthless. At that time, we were really doing this for your own good! Look, the facts have proven that your father and I made the right choice! If we hadn’t done so back then, how could you have such a good life now?” Aunt Li began to pretend that everything she did was for their own good. Li Shun didn’t speak and simply let the old lady say whatever she wanted..
