The next morning, Old Man Li woke up leisurely. Mrs. Feng was very happy to see him and repeatedly ordered Mrs. Zhang to get the cooked medicine.
"Mom, the medicine is here!" Ms. Zhang lowered her head and carefully held a bowl of medicine over.
"Old man, you're awake. You scared me to death yesterday. Come on, come on, drink the medicine first. The doctor said you need to take good care of your bones." Feng took the medicine bowl and said, stepping forward to feed Li
The old man drinks medicine.
Old Man Li struggled to get up, turned his head and said angrily: "Put it down, I can't bear your service, hum!"
Feng's hand holding the medicine bowl was about to pass it over. When she heard this, her hand stopped there awkwardly, and said angrily and shyly: "Old man, you,,,I,I,," she didn't expect that Li
The old man would be so disrespectful to her, but he had been watching over him all night without blinking an eye. No matter what, he shouldn't deny himself face in front of his wife. How big of a mistake did he make?
Mrs. Zhang was terribly embarrassed and murmured: "How about I do it? Mom, you have been taking care of me all night, why don't you go and squint for a while?"
Ms. Feng has always been very assertive in front of her daughter-in-law. Now her daughter-in-law saw the joke and was very angry. However, her daughter-in-law didn't say anything bad about her and even helped to smooth things over. The old man was angry again, so she couldn't go too far.
, he just handed the bowl over angrily and said: "Take good care of it!"
Mrs. Feng put the bowl into Mrs. Zhang's arms, turned around and walked out the door. However, she had never thought about what it would be like for this daughter-in-law to serve her father-in-law and live alone in the same room with him.
Zhang was holding the medicine bowl awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Hesitating for a moment, Old Man Li also felt quite embarrassed and shouted: "Second child, fourth child,,,"
Li Erzhi and Li Laizhi heard the sound and came in. In the end, Li Laizhi gave Old Man Li the medicine.
"Fourth brother, go and call your third brother!"
"Hey, Dad!" Li Laizhi was about to go out when he suddenly scratched his head and asked with a simple smile: "Dad, what should I answer if my third brother asks about something?"
"Well, don't tell your third brother about the stupid things your mother did, just say that I am sick and want to see him!" Old Man Li said after being silent for a while.
But it was said that Li Sanzhi's family was all preparing to go out. Although the family members were uncomfortable because of the rumors, it was difficult to go to the county to play. And with a certain purpose, the whole family worked hard to cheer up.
Even Mrs. Liu wore an eighty-percent-new satin gown, and even put some rouge on her face to cover up her pale complexion.
Hearing that old man Li was ill, Li Sanzhi quickly took the lead and ran towards the old house. Behind him, Liu, Shilang, Yuezhen, Jiulang, and the third child also ran, which shocked Li Laizhi. He touched his head and chased Li Sanzhi and shouted:
"Third brother, third brother, don't worry, dad has already taken the medicine, it's nothing serious!"
Hearing this, Li Sanzhi slowed down in a funny way. He was out of breath after running so early in the morning. He was sweating and told himself "Dad is sick!", which made people think that the old man in the family was dying. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive.
Are you in such a hurry?
Yuezhen covered her mouth and laughed. This honest fourth uncle was so funny. Could this be the legendary stupidity? Little did she know, and soon she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Dad, are you okay? What's going on? Why are you bedridden just one night? What did the doctor say? It doesn't matter. How about we go to the town to find a better doctor?" Li Sanzhi said quickly.
Walking to the bedside, he lowered his head and asked, "Sidi has already explained that his father is fine, but looking at the pale and sickly old man Li on the bed, he can't help but feel worried!"
"I,,,I'm fine, but I'm afraid my trip to the county today will be cancelled! Third brother, it's dad who can't help you. Don't blame dad, okay?" Old Man Li said, holding Li Sanzhi's hand with red eyes.
, at this moment, the always strong old man looked particularly fragile. Old man Li had been thinking about whether he should tell Li Sanzhi the truth about this "unfilial incident", but when he saw Li Sanzhi's filial appearance, he thought of how Li Sanzhi treated him in daily life.
Bit by bit, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out. If Li Sanzhi knew about this, he might be very sad. Old man Li had grown up watching Li Sanzhi, so how could he not eat Li Sanzhi's slices?
A heart longing for mother's love! Although Li Sanzhi seems to have figured it out and doesn't care, deep down in his heart, he still hopes that Feng can understand his filial heart, and wants Feng to love him as much as he loves other children.
of.
Although Li Sanzhi was a little surprised that Old Man Li was showing such emotions, he only thought that Old Man Li was in a particularly low mood because he was ill and couldn't follow him to clarify the misunderstanding today.
"Father, what are you saying? As a son, I can't blame you. Your health is important, and it's not a big deal for your son. It's just malicious slander by some people who are jealous of our business. The biggest problem is that we will lose some money."
There is nothing important about business! I am a pure person and I will not be afraid of wherever I go. Dad, just rest in peace and recover. If you are missing anything, just tell me. If you want to use any precious medicinal materials, just come to me and I will find a way!
"Li Sanzhi discussed with Silang, Yuezhen and Jiulang for a long time yesterday, and finally came to the conclusion that it may be competition among peers and the use of despicable methods, because this era is very particular about filial piety, and even the emperor governs the country with the name of "benevolence and filial piety".
How can ordinary people dare to be unfilial under the banner of "unfilial" people? For those who are unfilial, people who are somewhat capable in everything will disdain to associate with them. Therefore, some people use the reputation of unfilial piety to gain knowledge and attack shops, making people disdain to go to Li's shop.
Li Sanzhi doesn't find it strange at all to eat. Li Sanzhi admits that he has always been kind to others since he opened his shop and has never offended anyone. Even the second-rate people and beggars on the street are treated with courtesy. Only a few people come to inquire about the recipe.
The expert was kicked out by him, and he might have made a grudge because of it. Even Yuezhen had no doubt that it was the Feng family and the Yang family. In her opinion, the Feng family could kill her every month.
With so much money and clothes, they would definitely not be used to frame Li Sanzhi. If Li Sanzhi's shop collapsed, then Yuezhen's family would definitely not have as much pension money for the old house as it does now. Feng
Although he may not be very smart on weekdays, he will not let himself suffer.
"You,,,you really don't blame me? No matter what dad does, won't you blame me?" Old Man Li asked eagerly.
"Of course, dad worked hard to give birth to me, and it's too late for me to be filial. No matter what happens, as a son, I will never blame you!" Just like you knew that I had a lame leg and it was difficult to support the family, but you still followed my wishes.
It’s like trying to separate my family! Li Sanzhi understands Old Man Li’s dilemma. Li Sanzhi knows how difficult it is for a not-so-rich farm family to support a few scholars. Old Man Li dreams that one day his descendants will be able to
Li Sanzhi also knew that being a middle school scholar and becoming an official meant that his ancestors were honored. Therefore, knowing that Old Man Li had sacrificed his own family for his eldest brother and fifth brother, he had worked diligently since he was a child and turned in all his wages, but in the end he was thrown away when he had no use value.
He has never complained. His life was given by his parents, so how dare he complain!
"Okay, okay, daddy's good son, daddy owes you, daddy owes you one last time, you,,, you, hey, now I am bedridden and can't go to the ground, how can this matter be resolved? In your heart
Is there a charter?"
"Dad, don't worry, the worst possible outcome is that the shop will not open. Now that I have bought some family property, and have land, I am not afraid of starving to death. Even if the shop is gone, it doesn't matter!" Li Sanzhi scratched his head honestly.
Said, still embarrassed Liu Shi gave an apologetic look.
Mrs. Liu was now in a state of embarrassment. She was regretting that she had not tried her best to stop her family from doing business. After hearing this, she said: "What the third brother said is absolutely true. It is indeed difficult to do business as a merchant. I didn't make much money but still caused a lot of trouble."
There is so much trouble, why not shut down the shop! Our family happens to be sheltered from the limelight. There will always be a time to stop these messages. It will be fine after this time. Treat dad well and praise us as a couple to outsiders more often.
, please say a few kind words to our couple, I think this rumor will be disproven. Dad must take good care of his health. If you want to eat, just tell him, anything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, runs on the ground, whatever
Whatever my daughter-in-law can get, I will definitely get it for you!"
"Okay, okay, she is a good daughter-in-law of my Li family. The Li family has treated you badly in the past. In the future, I will make the third child treat you well in the future!" After hearing what Liu said, Old Man Li sighed with tears in his eyes:
She is worthy of being a daughter who was taught by a scholarly family. She is well-educated and filial, and she is so filial and respectful. I would have ignored Feng's firm objection and asked for this daughter-in-law for the third child because of her infatuation. Now it seems that
, but it is the only good thing I did for the third child. "When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous wife." The ancients do not deceive me!
"Haha, the third brother and sister are really filial. If the third brother and sister really don't want to do business as merchants, why don't they do it to me? You also know that our Liulang family is not as good as Erlang. They are well-behaved and obedient and can read. They will be able to do business in the future.
This can be regarded as a way out, why not, in the future, when Liulang gets better, she will remember the good things of her uncles and aunts, and will definitely be filial to you!" Little Feng was moved when she heard Liu's words, and couldn't wait to talk privately.
After discussing it, she directly brought it up. She seemed to see the days when she took over the bun shop and made a lot of money every day, counted the silver until her hands were soft, and wore silks, satins, and jewelry every day. An unnatural smile appeared on her lips.
"I'm interested in it. I just wonder how much money Ernie will pay to take over our shop? This is just the secret recipe for making soup dumplings. Many people are willing to pay 500 taels to buy it. I think they are all from the same family.
There’s no need for that much, how about just asking for two hundred taels? Also, my grandma helped to buy the shop, so my second wife has to discuss it with my grandma if she wants to take over!” Yue Zhen looked at Xiao Feng sarcastically and said,
Li Sanzhi was afraid that his business would develop too fast and attract jealousy, so he told the public that his mother-in-law bought the two shops and invested money in them.
"It's not like I won't give it to you. Why don't you pay it back step by step after the business is done?" Xiao Feng said sarcastically.
"Second aunt came up with a great idea. This is to use my chickens to lay eggs, exchange them for money, and then pay my family back the money from selling the chickens. This is a good thing. Second aunt might as well introduce me to do it! By the way,
I heard that the sixth brother broke the head of a child in the village and was chased to pay for the money. It is up to us brothers to be filial to our parents. The sixth brother should be filial to his own parents first!" Shiro was not polite.
said.
"You...you kid..." before little Feng could reply, a burst of shrill screams could be heard, which made people feel numb! (To be continued. If you like this work
