Chapter 236 Narrative
Li Zhengde finally understood what was going on after hearing this. No wonder Song Li kept asking him whether he had eaten breakfast. It turned out that he was asking about this matter.
"Some things happened at home these days, so it's not convenient to prepare meals for me. My sister can't do anything about it. She told me to get over it for a few days, which will probably take three to five days. If you are not used to the food in the college cafeteria, you can ask the chef at home to make some for you these days. Just stick with it for a few days." Li Zhengde said to Song Li.
After hearing this, Song Li didn't care whether to eat or not, and immediately asked: "What happened? Is it about your sister? Can you tell me about it?"
Li Zhengde felt warmed at the sight of Song Li's anxious expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not my sister, it's my mother."
Although Song Li felt that the situation was not very good, he was secretly relieved when he heard Li Zhengde say that it was not Li Mingxia's problem.
"What happened to my aunt? If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me. Don't be polite." Song Li straightened his expression and said to Li Zhengde.
"My mother accidentally fell down at my grandmother's house. Now she has some injuries on her body and it's difficult for her to move. So she has to live in the Li family's old house for the next few days. My sister paid and borrowed other people's kitchens to make food for me. So it's not very convenient for her to make soups and water for me. I also feel bad that my sister has been worrying too much these days. It's only five or six days, and I'll be eating my sister's cooking in the morning and evening anyway. It's just a meal at noon, so there's no harm in enduring it." Li Zhengde thought for a while and said to Song Li.
Li Zhengde was telling the truth, he felt sorry for his sister and it was indeed just the lunch, which was nothing, but Song Li felt bad! What he looked forward to most every day was the lunch, but although Li Zhengde did not elaborate, Song Li also heard some clues.
Zhang must have fallen pretty hard, otherwise, given Li Mingxia's personality, he would never allow his family to stay in a place like the Li family's old house.
Song Li was a little worried. Although Li Mingxia was not the type who would be bullied, she was still a woman after all. In a place where there were no principles and all the people were her elders, she would probably suffer losses openly or secretly.
"Is there anything I can help you with? Brother Zhengde, please don't be polite with me. If there is anything you can do for me, just tell me and I promise to do it for you."
This is to tell Li Zhengde that no matter what you say, no matter whether it is difficult or not, as long as you open your mouth, I will definitely do it for you.
But Li Zhengde shook his head and said, "My elder sister has already taken care of it. There is no trouble. Thank you, Brother Song Li, for your concern."
When Song Lixiong heard Li Zhengde say this, he believed it in his heart. After all, he knew Li Zhengde's filial piety. If there was really something, he would not refuse to say it out of face. Such a refusal must be that Li Mingxia had already arranged it.
Having said that, Song Li still spoke up and said, "If it's convenient, I still want to go visit you, otherwise I won't be able to let go of my worries."
Li Zhengde was very grateful for Song Li's care for himself and his mother, but he still refused.
"It's really inconvenient now, let's wait until we return to our own home."
Song Li was worried, but since Li Zhengde had said so, he didn't know what to say and could only agree to go down.
The two of them were talking, but they didn't want to be overheard.
Xue Li was listening to what his little follower was saying to him, and something moved him.
"Really? Did you hear it right?"
When the little follower saw Xue Li's reaction, he knew that he had heard something important, and he immediately became alert. He nodded, patted his chest, and gathered his strength to assure himself that what he heard was true.
"Master Xue, I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I had a hundred guts! It's all true. When Li Zhengde and Song Li were talking, I was hiding behind them. They didn't see me! Master, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes!"
It must be said that this time this man's flattery hit the right spot. Xue Li was very happy and casually gave him five taels of silver. The little follower was very happy and held the silver, thanking Xue Li profusely and saying auspicious words.
Li Zhengxue looked at the scene in front of him, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart. He didn't know whether it was envy, jealousy or disdain, but Li Zhengxue's gaze kept wandering back and forth on Xue Li.
"What are you looking at?" Xue Li really had no good feelings towards Li Zhengxue now, but now all these things were entangled and intricately linked, and it was hard to explain clearly. Even if Xue Li didn't like him, he had to endure it.
Li Zhengxue pointed at the little follower, said nothing, and just looked at Xue Li.
"You told me something very interesting. What? Are you coveting the five taels of silver?"
Xue Li's tone was not respectful at all, completely lacking his usual casualness, and even contained a hint of sarcasm.
However, when it comes to this, we have to say that Li Zhengxue has really grown now. If the previous Li Zhengxue heard this, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would definitely refuse it sternly on the surface and would be very angry (angry out of shame), but this time Li Zhengxue just remained silent, did not admit it, but did not deny it either.
"Oh, I didn't realize it, it's true?" Xue Li looked at Li Zhengxue like this, and for some reason, he inexplicably felt that he was not so annoying anymore. Perhaps it was because he preferred people who were straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.
"You should go home tomorrow." Xue Li thought for a moment and said to Li Zhengxue.
Go home? Li Zhengxue was stunned, "But tomorrow is not——"
Li Zhengxue wanted to say that tomorrow was not a day for Mu Xiu, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuanbao who was placed in front of him.
"I say, you should go home tomorrow." Xue Li said slowly, holding the silver ingot in his hand.
Li Zhengxue paused, "Just I can go home tomorrow?"
Xue Li shook his head. "Take me back with you. Tell me that you missed your grandfather so you came home to see him. I am here to be your guest."
"Is that all that's needed?" Li Zhengxue said suspiciously.
Ever since Xue Li suddenly turned hostile last time, Li Zhengxue no longer completely trusts Xue Li 100%.
"Yes, as long as you do as I say, these ten taels of silver will be yours. How about it?" Xue Li said with a smile.
After Li Zhengxue received the definite answer, he nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xue Li laughed loudly and threw the silver ingot in his hand lightly. The silver ingot fell into Li Zhengxue's arms in an arc.
