Chapter 141 Li Mingxia, what are you doing!
At this time, Li Sanlang didn't know why Zhang Lishan suddenly became silent tonight. He was still hoping that his brother-in-law would say a few words for him when he couldn't bear it.
"Don't look at my brother all the time. You don't know what your brother did today when he came here!" Zhang was already angry, and she became even more furious when she saw Li Sanlang like this.
Li Sanlang didn't expect this to happen. He immediately looked at Zhang Lishan and Li Erlang. He saw Li Erlang lowering his head to eat, while Zhang Lishan had a calm look on his face, as if this was a trivial matter, but he did not deny Zhang's words.
"Brother, what's going on?" Li Sanlang asked.
Zhang Lishan glanced at Li Mingxia, then said, "It's just a small matter. I would have forgotten it if my sister hadn't mentioned it. Your eldest brother is very straightforward, and I don't take those words to heart. Don't ask, brother-in-law, hurry up and eat."
The more Zhang Lishan said this, the more Li Sanlang asked, for fear of leaving a bad impression on his father-in-law's family.
"Brother, mother, that's not what I mean. You have to let me know what's going on, right? My uncle is here to help our family with work. I can't let him suffer any injustice even if I don't offer him delicious food and drinks, right?"
I have to say that what Li Sanlang said was quite satisfying. Not only did Zhang's expression immediately soften, but Zhang Lishan also smiled again.
"Okay, sister. My brother-in-law has already said so. What's there to be unhappy about? If you mention it again, I won't let big brother have dinner." Zhang Lishan made his attitude clear, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was no longer so tense.
Li Mingxia also took this opportunity to speak up, "Uncle, it's a good thing that you know my father doesn't have this idea, but there's no need to hide it from my father. We can just talk about whatever comes up during our family meal, so that my father can have some idea, right?"
Li Sanlang nodded, "Yes, brother, that's what Sister Xia said."
Zhang Lishan hesitated for a moment and still refused to say anything. Finally, Zhang told him the whole story.
"I don't know what the big boss is unhappy about after he came here today. He said our progress is slow, and then he said this one doesn't know how to work, and that one is lazy. He also said that my eldest brother only knows how to show off, and that he can't do the work as well as him."
Li Sanlang frowned when he heard this. Not to mention Zhang Lishan, just talk about the other workers, they were all the ones who got along well with each other in the village. What Li Dalang said was really offensive.
"That's nothing. You even said that my eldest brother was relying on your Li family's influence and was asking for food from the Li family. You also said that my eldest brother doesn't take you seriously. Listen to me, are these human words? Even if I didn't tell you for so many years, you don't know what kind of person my eldest brother is? Are those words from the boss human words?"
"I heard it!"
At this time, Li Zhengde raised his hand again and acted like a "little snitch".
Li Sanlang's gaze shifted over. For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to listen anymore.
But the excited Li Zhengde obviously did not give Li Sanlang a chance to refuse.
"My uncle also said that if my uncle still doesn't know how to flatter him, then he can send my uncle back with just a word!" Li Zhengde really likes his uncle. He was extremely angry when he heard this. Now he finally spoke up for his uncle. No one can cover his mouth!
Li Sanlang was sweating profusely. This time, even Li Erlang put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, don't worry. The third brother is not that kind of person."
Zhang Lishan laughed when he heard this. Li Erlang was not a good talker, but people like him also had their advantages, which was that he would not say things against his will to please anyone. Until now, Zhang Lishan had no doubts at all.
"Yes, this is absolutely not possible. How could I not know who is here to help us sincerely? Brother, you must not take it to heart." Li Sanlang echoed.
Zhang obviously felt that these few words were not enough to vent her anger, and she continued to talk to herself: "Even if Ming Xia said this, I would slap him in the face. What right does he have to come to our house and give orders?"
"I'm telling you, this is the last time. If he comes again, I'll have him beaten out with a stick! What's this? Whose neck are you riding on?" As Zhang spoke, perhaps recalling the days when she was bullied in the past, her emotions did not calm down but became agitated instead.
Li Sanlang quickly assured that if Li Dalang came here again tomorrow, he would let him go immediately and this kind of thing would never happen again.
After hearing what Li Sanlang said and several other children trying to persuade him, Zhang saw that her eldest brother really didn't care much, so she gradually stopped talking.
"Also, you must not let him eat here. If he does this again, I would rather overturn the table and not let anyone eat. You figure it out yourself." Zhang was determined. Li Sanlang nodded helplessly and agreed.
On the day when the main beams of the house were put up, which was also the last day for everyone to work, Li Dalang came again, but this time he came with Grandpa Li and several grandchildren of the Li family.
Old Master Li did not come empty-handed. He brought a piece of meat according to the custom of giving gifts to other people's houses when raising the beam in the countryside. Zhang saw it but did not say anything. She thought that when she delivered food to the Li family's old house in the evening, she would send more this time, at least enough for them to have a meal at the table.
Li Sanlang felt that Grandpa Li had given him face and was very happy. The beam-raising ceremony went very smoothly, and the next step was the payment of wages and meals.
Li Sanlang took a bag full of silver and money, and the workers also lined up consciously and paid the bills one by one. Li Dalang saw the table full of copper coins and small pieces of silver mixed in it, and he wished he could glue his eyes to them.
"Third brother, how can you figure out the accounts with your stupid head? This matter depends on the eldest brother. I will help you!" As he said this, he reached for the copper coins on the table.
"No need." Li Sanlang said quickly, but Li Dalang seemed to have not heard what Li Sanlang said. He grabbed a handful of copper coins and was about to take them back when the back of his hand was hit hard by a ruler! Li Dalang shuddered in pain and subconsciously loosened his hand. The copper coins fell back on the table with a clang. Li Mingxia stared at Li Dalang coldly.
"Li Mingxia! What are you doing!"
Whether it was being beaten by his niece in public or the money he had received being lost, Li Dalang could not accept it, so he instantly lost his temper, and he still felt that he was in the right.
