Chapter 916: The old couple's game
The smile on Mr. Li's lips turned sinister and mocking.
Don’t you want to sleep? Sure! Go to sleep! Have a good sleep!
Old Mrs. Zheng couldn't say what I, the third son's wife and daughter, dared not say.
And Old Mrs. Zheng knew very well that as long as Zhang said a word, Li Mingxia would do whatever she was told!
"There is no evidence anyway, so what can I do if I don't admit it? Besides, don't we still have the third brother no matter what? I don't believe that the third brother can just watch his own mother being arrested by the government!" Old Mrs. Zheng swallowed and tried to calm herself down.
I don't know if it's useful to deny it until I die, but this is all I can say now.
Old Mrs. Zheng now deeply regrets what she said. Who could have thought that the third son’s wife would actually think of reporting to the police!
"I just don't believe it. How can we really get divorced?" Old Mrs. Zheng muttered. Anyone with a discerning eye could immediately see how guilty she felt.
In fact, Mr. Li didn't believe it. After so many years, who couldn't see how deep the relationship between the third son's wife and the third son was? Just because of a few words from Mrs. Zheng, they could get divorced?
But if you think about it, isn't it because of the deep feelings that you can't accept these words?
"Just wait and see. Even if they don't get divorced this time, try it again and see if the third son's wife can continue to live with him!" said Mr. Li angrily.
Old Mrs. Zheng curled her lips, but ultimately did not say anything to refute what Old Mr. Li said.
Looking at the burning candle, Mrs. Zheng became inexplicably upset, and blew out the small flame with a bang! The surroundings instantly fell into darkness.
Mr. Li had just taken out his big pipe, thinking of using it to relieve his upset, but before he could light it, it was pitch dark.
"What are you doing! Can't you see that I'm still awake?" said Mr. Li angrily!
"You are not sleeping in the middle of the night and are lighting lamps to burn candles. Do you think you are a rich man? This candle was obtained by me and the third brother. If you want to use it, you can ask the third brother yourself tomorrow! Day after day, you can't make a penny, and you have so many things to do! You can sleep if you want. If you don't want to sleep, get out! I have to sleep!" Old Mrs. Zheng yelled loudly!
After all, they are an old couple who have slept in the same bed for so many years. Old Mrs. Zheng has figured out what's going on. Anyway, Mr. Li won't fight with her over this matter, so she can say whatever she wants!
In the end, Mr. Li did not go out. He put down his big pipe and lay on the kang, tossing and turning for who knows how many times. Listening to the loud snoring of Mrs. Zheng, Mr. Li felt as if his heart was being fried repeatedly in a frying pan. Only those who have experienced it know how it feels!
I don’t know how long it took, but it was almost dawn and Mr. Li finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
After leaving the Li family's old house, Li Sanlang wandered around his home for a few times.
He was thinking about how he should knock on the door and what he should say to get Zhang's forgiveness.
After thinking it over, he felt that he couldn't come up with any good solution.
Even now, Li Sanlang knew very well that he could not sever all ties with the Li family's old house, and he would still fulfill his responsibility of support. But if that was the case, what right did he have to ask Zhang for forgiveness?
Everything, all the slander, all the pain, all of these came from myself and from the old house. I can't give up anything, so why should I ask the mother of my child to give me a chance?
Li Mingxia already knew about it when Li Sanlang was wandering around nearby. Zhang was not asleep when the servant came to report, so Li Mingxia told Zhang about it.
"Don't worry about him! Let him wander around as he pleases. I don't believe he can make any money in one night!" Zhang pursed her lips, hardened her heart, and said.
Since Zhang said so, Li Mingxia would definitely not "meddle in other people's business" and let Li Sanlang in.
Although the weather is very cold now, Li Sanlang is wearing thick and warm clothes, so he will not freeze to death even if he stands outside for two hours. Li Mingxia is not worried at all.
It is true that Zhang felt sorry for Li Sanlang, but those words were so hurtful that Zhang felt like her heart was broken in two!
"Okay, then I'll listen to my mother and go to bed." Li Mingxia pretended to leave, stood up and said with a smile.
There was a flash of anxiety in Zhang's eyes, but in the end, she didn't say a word.
"Okay, go back to sleep!"
Li Mingxia really had a new respect for his mother. In the past, Zhang would never have been stubborn at this point, but today, Zhang still refused to give in. This showed that she was really angry this time.
"My dad is not going to come back to the old house in this condition. Mom, you really don't want to let my dad in?" Seeing Zhang's expression, Li Mingxia no longer had the heart to tease her.
Just now she also asked the people who were sent to keep an eye on Li Sanlang, and they did go to the old house and left after the quarrel. However, Li Mingxia did not intend to tell Zhang what happened in the Li family's old house.
Firstly, if Zhang heard these things, she would at least forgive Li Sanlang for a large part, which was not what Li Mingxia wanted.
Li Mingxia is now very clear that as long as Zhang is cruel to Li Sanlang, even if she does not divorce, even if Li Sanlang once again forgives the Li family's old house, the Li family's old house will not be able to get any substantial benefits from Li Sanlang.
Secondly, Zhang would probably get angry after hearing those ridiculous words, and such emotional fluctuations would not be good for the baby in her belly, so Li Mingxia chose to pretend not to know.
"When he couldn't stand the cold anymore, he passed away. He's a grown man. I don't believe a living person can be suffocated to death! Don't worry about anything. Go to bed quickly. We can talk about it tomorrow!" Zhang turned her head and gritted her teeth! She refused to let Li Sanlang in no matter what.
Looking at Zhang's appearance, Li Mingxia silently lit a candle for Li Sanlang in his heart.
Not to mention those people in the Li family’s old house, it’s not easy for Li Sanlang to get a good face in front of Zhang recently!
"How about this, mother. I will tell the two gatekeepers later. If my father hasn't left in half an hour, let them vacate the small house where they sleep and let my father sleep there for one night. There is a bed and charcoal fire anyway." Li Mingxia said to Zhang.
Hearing that her daughter had arranged everything so well, Zhang felt both guilty and touched.
"My daughter, listen to me. Leave him alone! He should be made to suffer a little, or he will never learn his lesson!"
