Chapter 315: Handling Matters Impartially

The first one to notice was Ji Yuanyuan.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, she could understand the reason for her Eldest Aunt’s low mood.
Her Eldest Aunt was considered a new wife and had just given birth to a child. However, everyone’s attention was now on Auntie Xiaomin. Her Eldest Aunt couldn’t help but feel neglected.
Moreover…
Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle’s wedding was held less than a year later.
However, whether it was the scale of the wedding or the price of the wedding house, they were not on the same level.
Most importantly, the new house that Second Uncle bought was under Auntie Xiaomin’s name.
If she was the Eldest Aunt, she would definitely have a knot in her heart.
Eldest Aunt might think, “Just because her family is poor, does that mean she has to be inferior to others?”
Ji Yuanyuan went up and sat next to Meng Xiaoning, talking to her so that she wouldn’t feel completely ignored.
Meng Xiaoning liked her niece very much, so her mood was much better.
Her heart warmed up when she saw how much Ji Zi’ang liked her daughter.
Although Ji Zixuan was not as enthusiastic as Ji Zi’ang, his eyes were still glued to Li Xiang.
The group of people discussed until 11 pm before they stopped.
Li Xu didn’t want to stay for dinner. She wanted to go back to eat.
Zhang Kun was looking after the shop alone. If she and the children did not go back, he would definitely make do with dinner.
Li Xu pulled Ji Yuanyuan to sit on the edge of the bed and said as she helped her put on her shoes,” I’m not eating here. I’ll take over Zhang Kun’s place when I get back. The business in the restaurant is busy on Sat.u.r.days and Sundays. He must be exhausted by himself.”
Seeing that Li Xu insisted on going back, Liu Guihua didn’t ask her to stay.
As if she had thought of something, she slapped her thigh and walked back, “Wait, don’t go yet!”
She returned to the kitchen and quickly brought out a large plastic bag. “These are the mushrooms your father and the others went to the back mountain to pick a few days ago. They got quite a lot. We can’t finish them at home, so you can take them back to eat.”
Li Xu had already brought the child to the courtyard. When she saw the situation, she declined. “Forget it, there are many people at home. You guys can keep it!”
Liu Guihua put it in her car. “Take it and eat it. There are more at home. It’s nutritious. Give it to the children.”
Just as Li Xu and Liu Guihua were fighting, Ji Yuanyuan quietly came to Li Zhiming’s side and waved at him. “Grandpa, come here. I have something to tell you!”
Li Zhiming quickly smiled and bent over, putting his ear close to Ji Yuanyuan’s mouth. “What secret do you want to tell Grandpa? Grandpa will listen to you!”
Ji Yuanyuan stood on her tiptoes and whispered into Li Zhiming’s ear for a long time.
Li Zhiming’s expression became more and more serious.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, li Zhiming frowned and said, “I know. You’re still a child, so you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll take care of it.”
Although his expression was serious, he still reached out and touched Ji Yuanyuan’s head.
Li Xu looked on. Although she was curious, she didn’t ask.
“Let’s go,” she called out to Ji Yuanyuan, we should go back.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly ran to Li Xu’s side and climbed into the little three-wheeled motorcycle with the help of Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang pushed their little three-wheeled motorcycle out of the Li family’s house.
After they had walked far away, Li Xu asked tentatively, “Yuanyuan, what did you say to Grandpa?”
Ji Yuanyuan said tactfully, “I saw that Eldest Aunt seemed a little unhappy just now. She didn’t really pay attention to Eldest Uncle. Maybe they quarreled. I ask Grandpa to keep an eye on them. If they really quarrel, he must give Eldest Uncle alesson!”
Just like what her grandfather had said, she was a child.
She could only remind her Grandpa and Mother in a tactful way.
They were ail smart people. They were too happy before and didn’t notice Eldest Aunt’s strange behavior.
After her reminder, she believed that both her Grandfather and Mother would definitely come to their senses.
As expected, after Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Li Xu didn’t speak for a long time.
At the Li family’s house, Li Yong turned around and walked towards the kitchen. “What are we having for lunch? Think about it, is there anything you want to eat?”
“Wait!” Li Zhiming called out to him. “Little Yong, come here. I have something to say!”
Li Yong walked into the house from the kitchen with some suspicion. Li Lei also followed him curiously.
Li Zhiming walked to the cabinet and took out an exercise book.
He placed the book on the bed. On the cover of the book were the words ‘Ji Zi’ang’ written in crooked handwriting.
It was clearly Ji Zi’ang’s homework book when he was young.
Li Zhiming opened the notebook, looked around, and said, “Since all of you are here, I have something to say.”
Liu Guihua looked at her husband with a surprised expression.
Why did he take out the account book out of the blue?
“We were a family before you two got married. Now that you’re all married, we have three families. Both of you are my sons, so your mother and I must be fair to each other!”
Li Zhiming turned to a certain page and stopped. “We won’t count the small amount of money. We’ll only count the large ones. I’ve recorded all the large amount of money the family spent in this book.”
He looked at Li Lei. “What about Xiao Lei? He’s more worry-free. He didn’t spend much of our family’s money.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yong looked a little embarra.s.sed.
He touched his nose and laughed.
“We paid for the houses in the village, the betrothal gifts, and the wedding money. Other than that, we didn’t spend any of our family’s money. The house in the city was also bought with Little Lei’s restoration fees.”
Listening to Li Zhiming’s words, Meng Xiaoning’s expression was calm.
“Father, why are you saying all this out of the blue?” Li Lei asked.
Li Zhiming didn’t answer Li Lei’s question, but just looked at Li Yong. “Little Yong, you spend more money than your Brother. Your Mother and I paid for the down payment of your villa. And the villa loan, your Mother and I will try our best to pay it off for you. If we can’t, don’t blame us!”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” Li Yong quickly said, “Can’t 1 just pay off the loan? We’ll definitely pay off the loan ourselves. I’ll also pay off the money I borrowed from you and Big Brother and Big Sister as soon as possible!”
“And your wedding, you must have spent more money than your Brother. There’s nothing we can do about it. Xiaomin’s stomach is already so big, and we can’t wait any longer.”
Meng Xiaoning knew that her Father-in-law’s words were probably meant for her.
She forced a smile and said, “Father, we’re a family. There’s no need to calculate so clearly. Li Lei and Li Yong were blood brothers. As the saying went, When fighting tigers, we must move forward together like brothers, and when fighting in battle, we must unite like father and son. Brothers should help each other. It doesn’t really matter who has more or less.”
When Li Lei heard this, he looked at his wife with a gratified expression.
It was rare for his wife to be so sensible and not fight for it..
