Chapter 803
Li Dalang and Jin were silent, and Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng could be considered satisfied.
However, no one really believed what Li Dalang and Jin said. They still had to keep a close eye on him these days, otherwise they might not be able to find him if they were not careful, which would be terrible.
Although Zhang's words were not very pleasant to hear, she did not really wrongly accuse Li Dalang.
At first, when Li Dalang knew about Li Mei'e's affair, he thought about appeasing Li Mei'e and then going to Huang Yuanwai's house to get some benefits.
He had already thought it through. If Mr. Huang didn't agree, he would make the matter public. Then everyone would know who was embarrassed!
Mr. Huang is such a proud man, Li Dalang is sure that he will never stand to hear others say that his son has cheated on him!
But now, even if Li Dalang wanted to do so, he didn't dare to do so. Although Grandpa Li beat and scolded him, Li Dalang knew in his heart that his father would never be so cruel to him, so he dared to have this idea at the beginning.
But now it’s different. Not to mention that there’s Li Mingxia, the “living devil”, watching covetously, let’s just say Old Madam Zheng…
All in all, Mrs. Zheng's pillow at least temporarily shattered Li Dalang's dream of wealth and glory.
Li Mei'e lowered her head and cried, while also listening to what Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng were saying.
"Third brother, your sister must go back to the Huang family, but we can't go back like this. Dad still has to ask you for help in this matter." Grandpa Li sighed and stated his purpose.
Li Sanlang paused, looked back at Zhang and Li Mingxia, and when he saw that they had no reaction at all, he turned back.
"Dad, tell me what's going on."
Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng had been staring at Li Sanlang, so they naturally wouldn't miss his move.
Old Mrs. Zheng clenched her fists and almost cursed, but fortunately she controlled herself in the end.
It goes without saying how Grandpa Li felt. How could he feel good when his good son now had to speak according to his wife and daughter's expressions!
However, both Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng knew that now was not the time to talk about this.
"We have to give Mei'e more money, so that no matter what happens in the future, Mei'e can gain a foothold in the Huang family and have a guarantee of survival, right?" said Mr. Li.
Li Sanlang nodded. Mr. Li’s consideration was correct and Li Sanlang thought so too.
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Li Dalang muttered, "Isn't it that I want Mei'e to ask for more money? So what? Dad says it's fine, but if I say it, Mom will beat me? That means she doesn't like me!"
No one paid any attention to him, and Li Dalang felt even more indignant, as if no one knew his little thoughts, as if he really was a good brother who cared about Li Mei'e.
In fact, everyone knows what Li Dalang means in his heart. He wants Li Mei'e to ask for more money, but he wants Li Mei'e to give him the money!
"Third brother, our family is different now than it was before. The words of us two old guys don't carry much weight anymore. Your eldest brother and your eldest nephew are not very promising either, and those three kids are useless too. Even if we are tied together, Mr. Huang won't even look at us." Grandpa Li said while sighing.
Although what he said sounded a bit pitiful, it was ultimately the truth, so although Li Sanlang felt a little uncomfortable listening to it, he did not refute it.
When Zhang looked up, her eyes met those of Mr. Li. She noticed the flattery in Mr. Li's eyes. Although it was not very obvious, Zhang still felt like she was burned by fire and almost jumped up.
She smiled awkwardly and quickly looked away.
"Dad, just tell me what you want me to do. I'm stupid and can't react." Li Sanlang interrupted Grandpa Li and said bluntly.
Mr. Li didn't want to waste any more time. He also saw that Li Sankeng and Zhang really wanted to help. "The day after tomorrow, let's go to Old Huang's house with your sister. We'll make things clear and agree on the terms. We'll all feel that there's no problem. The things will be in Mei'e's hands. But we can come back then, okay?"
Li Mingxia had no objection, in fact she really thought about it.
Mr. Huang's attitude towards the Li family is actually acceptable. Wanting to marry Li Mei'e is one reason, and another reason is definitely because he is afraid of his own family. Li Mingxia is definitely aware of all this.
If it was something else and Mr. Li wanted to support Li Mei'e and then tried to use his family's name as a banner, Li Mingxia would never agree to it. But this time it was different. Since Mr. Li brought it up, Li Mingxia would not refuse.
Li Sanlang nodded without hesitation, "Dad, I'll go with you then, and bring my eldest son with me."
After hearing what Li Sanlang said, Mr. Li knew that Li Sanlang meant that he would take Li Zhengpin with him, but not Li Zhengde.
After hearing this, Mr. Li felt a little emotional. He thought that his third son, who was the most honest, had grown up now and had become more thoughtful. He knew that he should not let his younger son, who was still studying, get involved in this matter.
But in this matter, Mr. Li really wronged Li Sanlang. Li Sanlang didn't think so much about it. He just thought that Li Zhengde must be studying in the academy at that time, so how could he have the time to go to Mr. Huang's house?
Besides Li Zhengpin, there are many servants in the family, and at the very least, there are maids and old women. Why do they have to let Li Zhengde follow along?
However, Li Sanlang had no idea that a son who was studying well could be more useful than any servants or maids.
Mr. Li is much more cunning than Li Sanlang. He thinks that Li Sanlang does not have as much face as Li Zhengde. Anyone can choose not to go, but Li Zhengde must go.
Thinking of this, Mr. Li glanced at Li Sanlang, and seeing that the worry in his eyes didn't seem fake, he had the urge to test him.
"Third brother, if it's possible, let Zhengde go with us. It will be easier to get things done with more people, don't you think?" Old Master Li hesitated and gave this reason.
Li Sanlang didn't react. He thought that Mr. Li was just unsure and thought that the more people the better. He waved his hand and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about these things. Zhengde is busy with his studies and may not have the time to go. Besides, he can't do anything. He is worse than Zhengpin, who is more capable and can do things!"
