Chapter 231 Another Trick
It just flashed past him in the store just now and he didn't see the contents clearly.
"No, no one mentioned this matter at all." Old man Li said firmly.
"Then if we send mother to Li Xiaoxiao, how do you think she will react?" Li Dajiang raised the corners of his mouth with ill intent.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and walked slowly back and forth in the room with a look of arrogance on his face.
"Given Li Xiaoxiao's temper, if she agrees to support me, then I will send my mother to her. If she disagrees, then that's even easier. I will definitely sue her in the government. Then her reputation will be ruined."
Old man Li was still sitting on the main seat, frowning, thinking about the feasibility of what Old Man Li said. Old lady Li injured her waist and would never be able to stand up again in her life.
Although he was not asked to serve Old Mrs. Li in the past few months, he still hated it. Whenever he passed by that door, he could smell a foul odor.
Fortunately it is winter now. If it were summer, flies would be flying everywhere. It’s disgusting just thinking about it. But if we really do this, will things go as smoothly as the boss said? After so many confrontations with Li Xiaoxiao, Old Man Li doesn’t dare to be sure of this.
For example, what happened at noon. Didn’t they discuss it well at home when they went there? Who knew that such a sudden change would happen when they got there?
If you ask him who he hates the most right now, it must be Li Xiaoxiao without a doubt.
It was obvious that Li Laosi had also thought of these things. He heard Li Dajiang's explanation make a lot of sense, but when it came to Li Xiaoxiao, it might not be so smooth. This was the experience he had summed up many times.
"If this matter is reported to the government, what will Li Xiaoxiao do with the five taels of silver he pays every year?" After thinking for a long time, Li Laosi finally figured out a question, and this question was very crucial.
"Let's say that the two elders were in good health at the time and had no symptoms. Now they are lying in bed unable to move. As a son, Li Dahai should take care of them and give them the money they deserve."
In the eyes of farmers, five taels of silver is already a lot. The amount of silver given to the elderly in their village as filial piety gifts cannot be more than this.
The reason why she asked for five taels of silver at that time was that Old Lady Li was reluctant to share it with them, so she asked for such a high amount.
Their family had weak personalities and were completely controlled by Old Lady Li. They did not refute at all and had it written directly on the document.
"That's what I mean. The second and third sons are going out to live separately, and the two of you are staying in the old house. I'm afraid they will have a problem if the things are not divided evenly."
Speaking of this, Old Man Li's face was full of worry. People are always partial. As long as they like someone, even if the child is a piece of shit in the eyes of others, he will still like him.
"Your mother and I divided the six acres of land between you two brothers, and we also gave you the house to live in. What if she brings this up?"
These things are all obvious in front of us, and we cannot help but consider so much. With Li Xiaoxiao's cleverness, it is not difficult for her to discover these things.
"Dad, this is an easy matter. If you really report it to the government, you can say that the two of us have already moved out, and that we just divided the land not long ago, and the crops were planted before. Even if we want to divide it, we have to wait until this crop is harvested." Li Laosi picked up the water on the table and took a big gulp, then continued.
"When the grain is harvested, I will divide the grain from your and mother's six acres of land between you and us, and give the rest to us two brothers. That will be all."
"Yes, that's it!" Boss Li nodded in agreement.
"No, we have to think about it carefully and see if there is anything we have overlooked." Even though the two sons spoke so decisively, the other party was Li Xiaoxiao, and he was a hundred percent worried. That girl was a little devil.
"There's no rush anyway. Let's think about it carefully after we go back. But we can't delay too long. We have already received money from them." Boss Li frowned and thought about the matter carefully again.
Everyone fell silent when the money was mentioned. Things had come to this point and could no longer be reversed. Even though they knew Li Xiaoxiao was a tough nut to crack, they had no choice but to go ahead with it.
After a night of thinking, the three people finally concluded that this method is still feasible!
If it is feasible, implement it as soon as possible.
This was the first time that Old Man Li stepped into the east wing room since he came to the capital. As soon as he entered the room, he was almost tempted to retreat by the foul smell in the room.
But he had something to do today and needed to see Old Lady Li, so he had to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves and endure the stench as he went into the house.
It was also the first time for Li Lao Da and Li Lao Si. Li Lao Da took only one step into the door and did not move forward, while Li Lao Si just stood at the door without even entering.
Hearing the noise, Old Mrs. Li looked towards the door. She was confused. How could someone come when it wasn't time for dinner yet?
When she saw the people at the door clearly, she instantly became excited. Old man Li and his son finally came to see her after several days.
Before she could say anything, Old Man Li spoke first. He really didn't want to stay here, so he quickly finished his words and got out. If he stayed any longer, he would vomit out the food he had eaten yesterday.
"We are here today to discuss something with you. I believe you also know why we came to the capital. Yesterday we went to Li Xiaoxiao's restaurant, and she extorted six taels of silver from us. We can't just let this matter go." Thinking of the six taels of silver, Old Man Li felt a lump in his heart.
"So I have discussed with them how to deal with Li Xiaoxiao, but this matter requires you to step forward."
Originally, she thought that Old Man Li and his two sons came to see her specially. When she heard Old Man Li say this, Old Lady Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ever since she couldn't stand up, Mrs. Li felt like she was abandoned.
Only a little food was delivered to her every day, no matter whether it was hot or cold, no one cared about her whether she could eat enough or not.
The daughter-in-law came out of someone else's belly, so it is understandable that she is unfilial.
Ever since Old Man Li brought Zhao Lanlan home, Old Mrs. Li knew that he was unreliable. But it doesn’t matter if he is unreliable, because she still has a son.
But her two sons, whom she loved the most since childhood, actually ignored her, which really broke her heart.
After taking a look at Old Man Li and his son who was standing at the door with a look of disgust on his face, Old Lady Li's bad premonition became stronger.
"You don't have to be afraid. It's nothing serious. I'll just send you to Li Xiaoxiao. Even if Dahai split up, he's still your son. Why shouldn't he serve you? Just take five taels of silver a year and that's it. Absolutely not."
"If he doesn't agree to serve you, that's even better. Just report his family to the government. Don't worry, after the matter is settled, I will buy you a maid to serve you exclusively."
Old man Li spoke nicely, but old lady Li couldn't believe it. How could it be possible that the man who almost left her alone at home would buy her a maid?
