Chapter 669: Li Sanlang and Zhang's Night Chapter
As soon as Li Mingxia saw his elder brother's look, he knew something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't look so terribly scared.
"Brother, do you have something to tell me? Did anything happen when we were not at home?" Li Mingxia stared at Li Zhengpin, not missing any changes in his facial expression.
Li Zhengpin was stunned for a while, then said, "Actually, nothing happened. Everything is fine at home."
Li Mingxia looked around and it seemed that nothing was wrong. If there was any problem with the workshop at home, Xiao Tianyue would be the first one to come to her. But if there was no problem with the business...
The Li family’s old house?
Li Mingxia narrowed his eyes, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
If you were to ask who Li Zhengpin is most afraid of, it would definitely be Li Mingxia.
No one knows better than him how much pressure his sister can bring to him.
Just like at this moment, Li Mingxia clearly called him "big brother", but Li Zhengpin didn't even have the courage to look Li Mingxia in the eye.
However, this made Li Mingxia even more certain of his guess that his elder brother was definitely hiding something from him, and judging from the looks of it, it was most likely something related to the Li family's old house.
"Really not. Don't you believe what big brother says? I just came out to see if you guys have come back, and I just happened to bump into you. Hey, mom! I'll help you carry it. I'll do it, I'll do it!" Li Zhengpin didn't know what to do when he suddenly saw Zhang and others behind Li Mingxia. In particular, he saw Zhang holding a few boxes in her hands, so he hurried over to take them.
Li Zhengpin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the thing in Zhang's hand, thinking that it was a good thing that he had this step, otherwise he would not know what to do. He also didn't know how his sister, who was so young, could have such great power. He didn't know what to say when he just looked at her.
Zhang was quite pleased to see Li Zhengpin busy and anxious. She thought that her eldest son was afraid that he would be too tired for such a small thing. She also thought that all her children were very caring. She felt that life was really fulfilling.
"Can such a small thing tire me out? You treat me like a piece of paper!" Zhang said as she walked into the house with empty hands.
When Li Mingxia saw Li Zhengpin's expression, he knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him today, so he simply stopped asking.
"That's because big brother loves you, mother. Instead of praising big brother for being filial, you still say this. Aren't you afraid that big brother will listen to you and forget about you after he gets married?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.
But Li Mingxia said this in jest, to make Zhang laugh and talk more, also to ease the atmosphere and let his poor elder brother relax and not be so tense.
Everyone knows that Li Zhengpin is not such a person, so no one takes it seriously.
"What do you mean by marrying a wife and forgetting about mother? Your eldest brother is not such a child." Zhang glanced at her clever eldest daughter with a reproachful look, "You don't know mother yet? These are not what I care about. I just want your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law to live a good life and give me a big fat grandson or granddaughter as soon as possible. Our family doesn't care about these things. As long as you are well, mother has no requirements."
Li Mingxia knew that Zhang had never been a person who favored boys over girls, but he still felt a little shocked when he heard this sentence. It was completely inconsistent with the concepts of this dynasty and even a little "heretical."
In this dynasty, a family without a son would be looked down upon. As a woman with two sons, it was rare for Zhang to say that she didn't care whether her future daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl.
Because Zhang was not "judging others by her own experience". If Zhang herself had no son and had suffered the pain of not having a son, then it would be natural for her to understand that others had no sons. But Zhang had a son, and the first one was Li Zhengpin. Li Mingxia herself knew that Zhang did not care at all about the issue of passing on the family line, but she only had requirements for herself. She felt that as a daughter-in-law of someone else's family, she should give birth to a son for that person. Now it was her turn to be a mother-in-law, but she did not have any requirements for her own daughter-in-law.
Other families are afraid that their son and daughter-in-law have too good a relationship, which will lead to their son being unfilial, but Zhang never thinks so. She only wants her son and daughter-in-law to get better and better, and then she can feel at ease.
"Mom is the most understanding person in our family. We are lucky to have such a mother." Li Mingxia was not flattering her but speaking sincerely.
Zhang was very happy to be coaxed, but this good mood lasted until the evening when Li Sanlang and Zhang talked about what happened today after dinner.
"You sent so many things over? Why didn't you tell me and Mingxia in advance? Do you think I would not let you send them? Or do you think Mingxia would disagree?" Zhang looked at Li Sanlang angrily and pursed her lips. She had more unpleasant words to say, but she swallowed them back when she saw Li Sanlang's face.
Honest, simple-minded, and considerate, it is hard to say harsh words to such a person no matter who he is.
But what Li Sanlang did in this matter was wrong. He should have told Zhang and Li Mingxia about it before doing it, instead of doing it now.
Telling Li Mingxia and Zhang before sending it over is called discussion, and telling Li Mingxia and Zhang after sending it over is called notification.
Zhang herself wouldn't mind, but she was afraid that it would hurt her daughter's feelings.
After all, what those people in the Li family’s old house did to their daughter cannot be erased by time.
"Mother, they are my parents after all. I...I know what I did was wrong, and I will definitely not do it again in the future." Li Sanlang lowered his head, looking as if he accepted the scolding, which made Zhang unable to open her mouth to blame him.
In the end, she could only sigh, "Don't tell Mingxia about what happened today. I won't keep it a secret for you if something like this happens again next time." Zhang said seriously with a stern face.
It was a pleasant surprise for Li Sanlang that Zhang agreed to help keep it secret. Why could he not refuse?
"Okay, okay, mother, I will never do this again." Li Sanlang said quickly.
"Will you go to see Mei'e the day after tomorrow?" Li Sanlang felt a little nervous when he saw Zhang's face.
He was worried that Zhang didn't want to go to the Li family's old house because of what happened today, but he didn't dare to persuade her too much, for fear of making Zhang unhappy.
