Chapter 361: A Sober Person

When Li Shun heard his wife’s words, he said nonchalantly, “I just want to see what kind of parents my parents are!”
At this point, Li Shun laughed at himself.
“I want to see if they’re really that selfish. I want to see if in order to live a good life, they’re really willing to disregard their sons. If they really kicked my eldest brother and second brother out of the family with nothing, then such parents are not worthy of being parents at all. I naturally won’t accept them.”
“If they didn’t kick my eldest brother and second brother out of the family with nothing, it means that my parents treat my eldest brother and second brother well. They’re just ruthless to me! In that case, I’ll be able to get a reality check! I definitely won’t be soft-hearted to them in the future!”
As he spoke, tears streamed down Li Shun’s face.
When Zhao Xiu saw her man like this, she immediately understood.
“Why are you still harping on this? Why do you have to rub salt on the wound?
Why do you have to do this?”
“No, I just want to see if my parents are heartless to everyone or only to me!” Li Shun said hatefully, “We’re their sons, so why am I the only one who was abandoned?! I feel indignant. I’ve always been indignant about this matter!” Li Shun had always endured the pain of being kicked out by his parents. As his life got better and better, the pain hidden in Li Shun’s heart fermented day by day when he was alone.
Although the villagers didn’t say anything in front of him, they were secretly discussing that he had been kicked out.
More than once, Li Shun had heard others say in a disdainful tone that he had been married off by the Li family. He had endured it time and time again and brooded over these things without telling anyone.
This time, Sr. Li and Aunt Li came looking for him, making the bottled-up emotions in Li Shun’s heart completely erupt.
That was why he had made such a request. He wanted to see if his parents were ruthless by nature or if they were only ruthless to him.
At the same time, Sr. Li and Aunt Li were also talking about this at home.
“What do you think of the condition our third son mentioned?” Aunt Li looked at her husband, who was lying beside her, and couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t think about it. I won’t kick our eldest son and second son out!” Old Master Li shook his head and said.
When Aunt Li heard this, she immediately panicked.
“You can’t lose your rationality! Think about it, you also went to see our third son’s house. It’s so big and beautiful. It’s much better than our current house.
Recall how our third son has gained weight and looks so much healthier. As long as we move in, we can eat meat and all sorts of nutritious food every day with our third son. What’s not to like?”
“You only have meat on your mind. Think about it, without our eldest son and second son, who will we rely on for our retirement in the future? Our third son was married off by us. The family has already split up. Even if he can bring us over to live for a while, he won’t be able to support us forever. If we really leave our eldest son and second son with nothing, we’ll have to live a miserable life in the future! At that time, none of our three sons will care about us. What will you do then?!” Sr. Li was quite smart and could tell Li Shun’s motive at a glance, so it was impossible for him to agree to it.
Aunt Li was stunned when she heard her old man’s words.
“How dare he? We’re his parents. If he dares to be unfilial to us, we’ll go to the authorities to report him!”
“How are you going to report him? Do you know what dowry is? If he marries out, he’s no longer a member of the Li family. Besides, our third son gave us all the food he got before he left and didn’t ask for anything. Therefore, even if we report him to the government office, we won’t be in the right.” Seeing that his wife still hadn’t realized the situation, Sr. Li simply explained everything.
“I don’t care. His family eats meat every day, but I can’t even smell meat! I feel indignant!” Aunt Li said angrily.
“We can only think of another way. Anyway, don’t even think about leaving our eldest son and second son with nothing!” Sr. Li said.
After Aunt Li understood this, she finally stopped insisting.
However, the next day, as soon as Aunt Li woke up, she started making a fuss again.
“Old man, we can pretend to let our eldest son and second son leave with nothing! When we occupy our third son’s house, our eldest son and second son can come back!” Aunt Li said excitedly.
She had dreamed of this method last night.
Sr. Li looked at the old woman in front of him with disdain and said, “Don’t forget that when our family was in trouble, our eldest son and second son ran out to work and didn’t support us anymore. It was Luo Cheng who taught our eldest son and second son a lesson, so they obediently came back to support us. Are you really sure you want to pretend to kick them out and let our eldest son and second son take the opportunity to ignore us from now on?”
Sr. Li’s words rained on Aunt Li’s parade.
This time, Aunt Li completely came back to her senses.
That’s right. She’d almost fallen for it.
This time, Aunt Li became completely listless and dejected!
At the same time, Li Qiang and Li Wei found out about the condition Li Shun had proposed.
Li Qiang called his second brother, Li Wei, to the side. The two brothers sat under the big tree and discussed it.
“Brother, have you heard that Father and Mother went to look for Li Shun?” Li Qiang asked, “What do you think about it?”
Li Wei glanced at his brother and said calmly, “Brother, I advise you not to get any ideas! Do your job well and take care of Father and Mother! Don’t forget that Luo Cheng can deal with us very easily!”
When Li Qiang heard Li Wei’s words, he immediately trembled.
How could he have forgotten about Luo Cheng?
With him around, he didn’t dare to cause any trouble.
After letting out a long sigh, Li Qiang suddenly said, “Speaking of which, I’d rather Father and Mother kick us out with nothing in order to be with Li Shun!” Li Wei glanced at Li Qiang and smiled.
“Brother, stop dreaming! Even if Father and Mother do this, we won’t get what we want in the end. If I were you, I would persuade Father and Mother not to cause trouble by provoking Li Shun and Luo Cheng.. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to maintain our current peaceful life!”
