Chapter 919: Have you ever protected us?
Li Sanlang looked a little ugly. He didn't know whether his son did it on purpose, but this feeling made him feel very uncomfortable and unhappy.
"How do you know that Dad went to the old house?" Li Sanlang looked up at Li Zhengde and asked unhappily.
Li Zhengde noticed what his father was thinking, but he didn't care at all.
"My mother said that you went to sleep at the old house."
Li Zhengde said disapprovingly.
When hearing this, Li Sanlang thought that Zhang was giving him some face by only saying that she went to the Li family's old house, but did not say why she went there.
"The old house is so nice, and you always go there to sleep in the middle of the night. Why are you back so early? Dad, are you planning to sleep in the old house and eat at home in the future? Then ask my grandma to find you a concubine, so that both sides will be treated equally? Hahahahaha, to be honest, I know what my grandma would do!" When Li Zhengde mentioned those people in the old house of Li family, he felt that he could say all kinds of vicious words.
Li Sanlang didn't understand what the concubine meant by "benefiting everyone equally", but he understood what the concubine said. His eyes widened immediately!
If the child's mother heard this, would she still give me a chance? She already didn't want to pay attention to me, and she even said she wanted a divorce! If I believed this nonsense, wouldn't I be doomed?
He didn't dare to lose his temper with Zhang, but he would not be polite to his own son Li Sanlang.
"Don't talk nonsense! Your family spent so much money to send you to the academy so that you can study hard and make a name for yourself in the future. Do you want to say nonsense here and talk back to your father? If I hear you say such things again, I, as your father, will teach you a lesson!"
Li Sanlang and Li Zhengde were talking in the yard. Although their voices were very loud, they were difficult to hear clearly through the door and the thick curtains. They could only vaguely hear that they were arguing.
Zhang's face changed, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up and go out to take a look, but Li Mingxia grabbed her arm.
"Don't worry, I know Zhengde, he won't say anything he shouldn't say. Mom, just sit here. My dad and my brother will be here soon. You can say whatever you want to say then. If you have any questions, ask them then." Li Mingxia spoke softly, without loosening her grip at all, and refused to let Zhang go out no matter what.
My younger brother is showing off his prowess, and I can't let my soft-hearted and honest mother hold him back.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Mingxia's words, Zhang slowly sat back, thought about it and nodded.
Indeed, Zhengde is not that kind of child, so I should wait for a while.
"Dad, my family spent a lot of money on my education. I admit that."
Li Zhengde took a look at the fish porridge that was left at the bottom of the bowl and poured it directly into his mouth, then showed the empty bowl to Li Sanlang.
"It's not just about studying, but also this bowl of porridge, every meal I eat, every grain of rice, the clothes I wear, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone I use. This year, I spent a thousand taels of silver from my family, but does this money I spent have anything to do with the old house and you? Didn't my sister give it to me? What I have become after studying, whether I have learned nothing, whether I can make a name for myself in the future, what do these things have to do with you and the people in the old house? This is something my sister and mother should worry about, Dad, you don't have to worry about it."
Li Zhengde looked at Li Sanlang and spoke so heartlessly and loudly.
He, Li Zhengde, is definitely not an ungrateful and heartless person, but he will definitely not be a foolish and ignorant person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.
He remembers clearly who is good to him and who is not.
As for filial piety to elders? Tell it to the ghosts!
"I have been in the old house for these years and have no chance to study. That's all. I don't even have much time to eat. Every day when I open my eyes, I think about whether I can have a full meal today, whether my mother and my brothers and sisters can have a full meal, whether we can avoid being scolded, and whether my mother will cry. I don't believe that you have never seen these things, but what did you do? You did not help my grandmother bully us, but you didn't protect us either, did you?"
Li Zhengde's words were like a loud slap in the face of Li Sanlang, making his vision go dark, but his mind seemed to suddenly become clearer.
Yes, why did I feel in the past that as long as I didn’t hit my wife and children, I was good to them?
It is such a shame that a grown man like me cannot protect my wife and children.
What my son said just now was very unpleasant to hear, but which one was false?
Let alone my son, aren't all the things I eat and use my daughter's? The mother of the child can confidently say that what belongs to my daughter is hers, but do I dare to say so?
Zhang dared to say this because Li Mingxia, Li Zhengzhi and Li Zhengde were all filial to her from the bottom of their hearts, and they would unconditionally agree to whatever Zhang wanted to do.
Do you have such treatment?
If I force Li Mingxia to do something now, will Li Mingxia pay attention to me?
Li Sanlang understood very clearly that he took care of the things in the Li family's old house because Li Mingxia did it for Zhang's sake. If it was a request made by him, Li Mingxia would definitely not pay attention!
No, I shouldn’t say that I will absolutely ignore it and even turn hostile to it!
Li Sanlang was aware of this matter, but what Li Zhengde said just now was an angle that Li Sanlang had never thought of before.
His heart was broken, and he felt the coldness in the air sweeping over his whole body with every breath he took. The uncomfortable feeling made him unable to utter a word.
"If I were you, I would stay in the old house and not come back. After all, I will have to continue to use the money my sister earns to buy things. It's okay for you to use it, after all, you are still our father. My sister has no choice but to do it even if she is unwilling. But don't those people in the old house always look down on my sister? Dad, don't you agree?"
After Li Zhengde said these words, he suddenly felt much better. He let out a long breath, turned around and went into the house. He didn't care about Li Sanlang, and didn't even ask him if he wanted to come in with him. It seemed that he came out not to take Li Sanlang into the house, but just to say these words.
"Dad didn't come in with you?" Li Mingxia raised his head and glanced at the angry Li Zhengde, and said with a smile.
Li Zhengde just said those words on impulse. Now he was a little worried that his sister would scold him. After all, his sister's ears were many times more sensitive than others! She must have heard everything!
