Father Li knew his second son’s character well. Hearing what Li Chenxuan said, he knew that they were here as they wanted to get some benefits from him.
"It’s not necessary. We have enough people, and the renovation will be completed soon." Father Li said as he ate the steamed buns. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Father, how can you say that? It is the responsibility of our Li family to repair the ancestral house. As your son and daughter-in-law, we also need to help." Jiao Siyu said with a smile.
Father Li snorted when he heard her words and said, "Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? When we separated the family before, you already got your share. You and your elder brother get the house, money and some furniture. Therefore, this ancestral house will be given to your third brother."
"Father, it’s different. We do have a house, but it’s only a three-bedroom house. As for the money, we only got 350 yuan." Jiao Siyu said with a frown, clearly displeased.
"What’s the difference? Do you think 350 yuan is a small amount? Most of the money in our family was given by the third son. However, when we separated, he didn’t get a penny. If you want to bring that up, shall we talk about the money you borrowed before? When will you give it back to me?" Father Li asked with a trace of anger.
Hearing that Father Li wanted to ask for the borrowed money, Li Chenxuan tugged on his wife’s sleeve. He looked at Father Li and said, "Father, that’s not what we mean."
"Then what do you mean by those ugly words?" Li Chenze asked.
"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why did you interrupt when I was talking to our father?" Li Chenxuan asked with a frown.
"What? As your elder brother, I can’t even ask you now?" Li Chenze asked with a frown.
Before Li Chenxuan could refute, Father Li interrupted him, "This matter has nothing to do with you. So, don’t ask any more."
Jiao Siyu was unwilling to get no benefit, and said, "Father, even if this house is given to the third brother, you should give us some money to compensate for our share. This house is a courtyard house, and the value is more than the three-bedroom house and 350 yuan."
Father Li finally looked at her and asked coldly, "So you want me to make a private transaction with you now?"
Hearing this, Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu were taken aback. This charge could land them in jail!
"Father! What are you talking about? We are just asking for our share, how can you accuse us like this?" Li Chenxuan shouted angrily.
Li Chenze looked at him in disbelief. Has the second brother always thought so in his heart? Although they never said it out, he and Li Chenmo always shared their things and the money they earned with Li Chenxuan. Despite his bad attitude, they have always treated him as their closest brother!
"Second brother, father did those things because he cared about you and worried about you. What you did back then was wrong. Father educated you out of the love of parents. How can you resent our father for that?" Li Chenze asked with wide eyes.
"Caring about me, worrying about me? Hehe, this is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. Is it because I’m not as good as you two? Whenever our Father looks at me, he always looks disappointed. He always scolds me, but never even once he praises me. No matter how hard I try to please him, he only cares about the third brother and you." Li Chenxuan sneered.
Hearing Li Chenxuan’s words, Father Li closed his eyes in disappointment. After a long time, he finally asked, "Since you resent me, why do you still call me father?"
Li Chenxuan was taken aback. Indeed, if he resented his father, why did he call him Father and seek his approval?
He lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "From now on, I will never call you father again. I don’t need this kind of relative. "
After saying this, Li Chenxuan turned around and caught up with his wife, leaving behind a stunned Father Li and a worried Li Chenze. Zhang Dongmei and the twins didn’t dare to say a word from the beginning to the end.
