XVIII. Return to the light and hand over the aftermath
Although this mouthful of "lifting people" is still an honorific title, it seems a little ironic from Zhao Li's mouth.
The boss of the Li family knew that this Zhao Li had never looked down on him, and when he heard him say this sentence by sentence, he only felt extremely annoyed.
"What are you, you dare to come to our lord's mansion to spread wild, are you really impatient?" Xu saw the impatience on the face of the boss of the Li family, and the man guarding the door scolded and scolded, and he even wanted to push it in his hand.
Although Zhao Li has a kind temperament, he has never been a bully, coupled with the fact that he has been turning pots and spoons for many years, he has a lot of strength in his hands, and he pushed people to the ground with such a block.
"What are you to meddle indiscriminately? I'm talking to your master, what's the matter with you? ”
Zhao Li scolded angrily, turned his head and didn't look at him again, "Li De, listen, the old man may only be here for a few days, if you really have a conscience, then you can go back and take a look, send him an end, and it can be regarded as repaying him for giving you this life." ”
Zhao Li shook his hand and left, looking at the angry back, he knew how angry he was. Li De, the boss of the Li family, is not like his younger brother, no matter how filial piety he is, courtesy, righteousness and honesty are always in his heart, even if he is superficial, he has to go back.
It was Zhao Li who had just stepped into the Li family's old mansion with his front foot, and the latter had already brought his wife over, saying that he wanted to see how the old lady Li was.
For Mrs. Li, in the end, it is still the dearest son, Zhao Li and Qin Wuran both understand this, and at this time, they have no intention of stopping at all, and even eagerly let people in, for fear that Mrs. Li will think more.
And after entering, facing his father, who was already dying, Li De didn't know what to say.
Old Mrs. Li's face is now gray, and the spirit that supported him is gone, and she looks even more like an eighty-year-old man who is about to enter the ground. Li De couldn't help but wonder when this father, who he had never cared for, grew old.
"It's coming......" Old lady Li naturally heard the movement of opening the door at the beginning, and at this time, he saw that his eldest son was standing five or six steps away from the bed and did not come, so he simply opened his mouth.
Li De stepped forward at this time, and his wife beside him had not dealt with this father-in-law much, so he could only stand by and wait at this time.
Xu is already running out of oil, but Old Man Li spoke more smoothly than before, beckoned to Li De and asked him to sit down on the edge of the bed, and then said to his wife: "I'm sick right now, you just go out first, don't get sick to you." ”
Although these words are concerned, they also have a touching meaning, Li De's daughter-in-law only thought that they had something to talk about, and went out without saying anything.
And Mrs. Li does have something to say to him.
"Li Man is not a thing, doing those things, it can be regarded as my lack of discipline, you, the eldest brother, will take care of him more in the future, even if I am an old man, please you." Old lady Li grabbed his hand tightly, the back of the already skinny hand protruded from the hand bones, the dark skin was covered with dark spots, and the palms and fingers were also calloused.
Li De knew the meaning of his words, and the so-called more bear with him was to hope that he could help solve the things Li Man had committed this time, and take care of him more in the future, after all, the two were brothers.
Thinking like this, Li De suddenly became a little annoyed.
"You didn't manage me when I was younger, and I can't clean up the mess for you now. Li Man and Qin Wu are dyed, I only care about one, Dad, you choose yourself. ”
When Old Lady Li heard this, she couldn't help but fall into silence for a long time.
One is the biological son who feels indebted, and the other is the granddaughter who has been raised since childhood, this is undoubtedly a difficult thing to choose, but Li De does not like trouble the most, and he is not ready to raise these two people for him, Mrs. Li must face such a choice at this time.
"You take care of Li Man, I'll figure it out myself." Having made up her mind, Mrs. Li closed her eyes in disappointment.
He didn't want to be on this dying, and his son would help him take care of the aftermath and take care of these people he couldn't let go. But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame the child for the sin you committed when you were young.
Li De and Old Lady Li actually didn't have much to say, once the two fell into silence, the former felt that there was no need to stay any longer, and simply got up and left.
Old Lady Li didn't stop him, and when the sound of closing the door sounded, he slowly opened his eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
"Who else do you want to see, old man?" Zhao Li knew about Mrs. Li's current situation, so he came in and asked.
Old Mrs. Li shook her head, and then said: "There is a wooden box under my bed, and the key is still in the one I usually use, you pick it out, and put it next to my bed in a while." ”
Zhao Li responded when he heard this, and then he leaned on his stomach and began to look for the wooden box that the old lady said, and leaned into half of his body before he finally found it.
It was a very simple box, but the dust on it had accumulated a thick layer, and it was estimated that it had been under the bed for a long time.
"Just leave it there, go and call me in." Old lady Li said.
Zhao Li could only agree, and when he left, he wiped the box and carefully placed it at the head of the bed.
"Your grandfather let you in, I guess I have something to explain, don't cry, thank you for listening to him." Zhao Li patted Qin Wuran's shoulder and reminded him.
The words have come to this point, Qin Wuran was already sensitive, and at this time, she just shook her head with red eyes and retreated. Zhao Li was about to persuade her to say a few words, but there was a shout from Old Lady Li.
"What do you think of grinding and chirping? Hurry on in! ”
There was also a bit of neutrality in this voice, which made Qin Wuran slightly stunned, and then she was overjoyed. Zhao Li knew that this was a return to the light, and after using up this strength, Old Lady Li was afraid that it would not be good.
And compared to what he knew in his heart, Qin Wuran didn't realize it at all, but finally stretched his eyebrows, and ran in in a hurry.
"The girl's recklessness, I don't know where to learn the rules taught you." Your old lady glared at her angrily, then pointed to the stool that lay not far from the bed.
As if she hadn't seen the stool at all, Qin Wuran sat directly on the edge of the bed, very close to Old Lady Li, and also saw his now sallow and decadent face.
"What do you see? There are no rules. Old lady Li scolded.
It was still the tone of talking to herself before, which made Qin Wuran feel a little kind, and her eyes immediately turned red. Fortunately, she also knew that she couldn't let Old Lady Li see her like this, so she blinked and held back her tears, and then grinned a smile that she thought was cheerful but very ugly.
"What does my grandfather want to say to me? I listened. ”
Old lady Li didn't feel good when she saw her like this, but no matter how long she wanted to stay with her, when she reached his lifespan, it was the decision of the king of Hades whether she could leave or not, and she couldn't help herself.
"I don't have a few days to live, and I know this best by looking for any doctor, "Old Lady Li sighed with emotion, and saw Qin Yanran open her mouth to refute, and immediately glared at her, "Shut up and listen to me, if you don't listen, get out." ”
Qin Wuran could only swallow the words again, and listened to him with her sleeves twisted.
"You also know what kind of character I am, and I can't get used to those soft scenes, so I will make it clear, don't be too uncomfortable to listen to." Old Madam Li first reminded her of the awakening, and then every sentence seemed to be pierced into Qin Yanran's heart.
"I originally thought that after I died, all the belongings in the family would be given to your two uncles, and only Li Ji Restaurant would be left to you, which could be regarded as an income, and if you run it well, it would not be a problem to make a living. But now it seems that your two uncles are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you can't keep this shop if I leave it to you, so you can only choose another one. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the wooden box next to him tremblingly, "There are two bags here, one red and one blue, which contain the back road I arranged for you." If you choose the former, then go back to the Qin family obediently, although you may be a little wronged, but with the letter I wrote, the Qin family probably won't treat you badly, and survival is always enough. If you don't want to, then choose the latter, I arranged a marriage for you and the second son of the Shen family, and the family is kind, and they will definitely take care of you in my face. ”
These two roads seem to be arranged clearly, but they are just handing over Qin Wuran to others and letting others take care of them.
Not to mention how much trouble it will bring to others, just on these two sides, the Qin family is estimated not to be treated by her daughter, who has never been in charge of it, and she doesn't know what the situation of the Shen family is, Qin Wuran only feels that the two tips are obviously in her hands, but she still feels that her future is gloomy.
"I really don't have anywhere else to go?" Qin Yu asked in a hoarse voice.
Thirteen years old is not big, but he is definitely not a child who doesn't understand anything, not to mention that Qin Wuran has been delicate since she was a child, and she is also very clear about her situation.
Without Mrs. Li, the Li family would not be able to tolerate her, what could a thirteen-year-old girl do except seek refuge from others? Both of these paths have been considered thoughtful, what else can she go?
And the truth is just as she thought, Old Lady Li didn't answer when she heard this, but reached out and wanted to touch her head, but because she couldn't lift it so high, she could only pat the back of her hand.
"You are a good boy, even if others don't like you, it's all your black-hearted father's fault, and it has nothing to do with you. Grandfather doesn't ask you to have any great achievements, as long as you can be happy every day, it is better than anything else. ”
"So Niangran, no matter which way you go in the end, don't be pretentious, my grandfather has never mistaken anyone in his life, saying that you are a good boy, then you are a good boy."
