Chapter 413: Something your relatives don’t recognize

The Li family mansion in Beijing.

The ancestors of the Li family were from a scholarly family, and the ancestral house inherited from them still retains its original ancient charm in this modern city.

In the third courtyard, going in from the main entrance, there are flowers and willows all the way.

The layout is elegant and the scenery is pleasant.

Li Fengyao carried her book bag and returned to the lobby of Banyue Tower. The autumn sun had begun to set westward.

The sound of playing mahjong in the hall is a bit disturbing.

In the left corner, in front of the four-leaf screen, there is a mahjong table. Four elderly ladies are smiling softly, while their men are fighting fiercely.

Next to the mahjong table, there is a beautiful woman with black hair and a long dress, holding a tea cup and sipping tea to watch the game.

Seeing him coming back, the beautiful woman immediately put the tea cup aside, stood up and came over to welcome him, speaking softly, "Didn't you say you went to the bookstore to buy books and got together with friends by the way, and you're back now?"

"Auntie." Li Fengyao called with a smile, helped the beautiful woman closely, and sat down together at the mahogany corner. "I have bought the books, and I was going to get together with my friends. They all had something to do in the afternoon, so I came back first.

."

"It's a rare weekend. Now that you're out, just relax. Auntie knows that you work hard in your studies, so there's no need to tighten yourself up too much. You have to know how to balance work and rest." Li Shiqing looked at the young man's face and frowned, "You seem to have lost weight.

Some, I asked the kitchen to make you your favorite fresh lotus root and pork ribs soup, and drink two more bowls of tonic for dinner."

"Okay, I will definitely drink a lot of the soup cooked by my aunt." Li Fengyao said, taking out a small brocade box from her book bag and handing it over, "On the way back, I passed the moonlight autumn brocade, and I remembered that my aunt always likes real silk brocade, so I gave it to

You brought back a gift."

"You brought me a gift, silk brocade?" Li Shiqing was surprised. She took the brocade box and opened it. She saw a silk brocade handkerchief lying inside, and her eyes filled with color, "You kid, things like moonlight and autumn brocade are not cheap.

, you are still studying, why are you spending this money?"

Moonlight Autumn Brocade is the most famous silk fabric shop in Beijing.

The items sold there are all handmade from silk and are very expensive.

Before, Li Shiqing would buy these things without batting an eye.

But since the relationship with Mr. Xiao became tense and the couple was kicked out of the Xiao family, their material standards began to suffer greatly.

Li Shiqing, who was used to being a rich wife, had to start scratching her head and calculating how to live her life.

"As long as you are here, I, my biological mother, can't keep up with you, my aunt. Look, I brought a silk brocade handkerchief to my aunt when I went out, but my biological mother didn't leave anything behind." Beside the mahjong table, the expensive girl in a crimson dress

The woman complained half-truthfully, "Shiqing, I think you can just give this son to you."

Several other women spoke up one after another, "Feng Yao, this is wrong with you. You can't treat one with favoritism. Only your aunt can kiss you? It's okay if us aunts and uncles can't keep up with your aunt. You are your own mother. How about you?"

Pay more attention to it?"

Li Fengyao walked over, squeezed her mother's shoulders and patted her back, and then humiliated her to some elders. "I thought my aunt was in a bad mood recently, so I bought her a gift to make her happy. Mom, you gave birth to my son," she said.

The whole thing is yours, do you really care about this with me? Besides, you guys are not bad to your aunt. When did you not support her if anything happened to her? I, a junior, just follow the example and follow the tradition of filial piety and respect.

It’s just good family tradition.”

Several women were coaxed to smile, and scolded him, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."

Li Shiqing held the silk handkerchief, looked at the harmonious and tender scene in front of her, and listened to their love and care for her, her heart and eyes were filled with emotion.

"By the way, aunt, when I came out of the bookstore, I saw my cousin. There were a few female classmates buying books together in the bookstore. He drove to pick up those female classmates." Li Fengyao said about what happened at the door of the bookstore.

, "Originally, I wanted to ask him to come over to my house so that he could get together with you and your uncle...Next time, next time I have the chance, I will definitely invite him over."

Li Shiqing's face instantly turned cold.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the brand new and expensive silk handkerchief in her hand. When she mentioned her son, her tone was cold and resentful, "You don't have to hide anything for him. He must not have said anything nice to you. Things that even my relatives don't recognize come from my belly."

The one who climbed out is not half as considerate and filial as your cousin. Even if he does come, he will only make me angry! I really don’t know how I gave birth to this evil in the first place. He just came to collect debts from me.

!”

Over at the mahjong table, the Li family sisters looked at each other with strange colors in their eyes.

Li Fengyao's mother, Qin Hui, let out a long sigh and said, "Li Xiao's child is indeed a bit too much in this matter. In terms of closeness, it should be the biological father and mother who want to kiss each other, right? The old man of the Xiao family is old, so what are his thoughts?

It is inevitable to be confused. At this time, as a son, he should protect you in every possible way, but he chose to vent his anger on Mr. Xiao, and now the family is not a family. You said you... Well, it is a pity that our Li family is so soft-spoken.

I dare not say these words to him at all."

The woman opposite received her look and immediately followed her, "Since ancient times, it is not natural for parents to discipline their sons. Just like Mr. Xiao disciplines Changshan, Changshan is equally qualified to discipline himself.

Isn't his son? Shiqing, I said some things that I shouldn't have said, but don't think I'm trying to take advantage of you. Everyone in the Xiao family is a thief, and they always feel that our Li family is trying to do something to them. In fact, what are we trying to do?

Mr. Xiao suppressed our Li family and reduced our family from a first-class family to a second-class family. He talked about the kidnapping of Xiao Li when he was a child all day long. Our family explained it early in the morning that it was a misunderstanding, but it's a pity that they didn't listen or believe it. According to me

Look, the Xiao family is just afraid that your mother’s family is too strong and won’t be able to control you with your mother’s family’s backing!”

"If we really had an agenda, we would have broken up with you and Changshan when we were being suppressed at home. Can we still give you a safe place to live like this when you are kicked out of the Xiao family and have no place to stay?

You are a girl from the Li family, and as my mother-in-law, we naturally wish you all the best, but unfortunately, you were guarded against it, and the situation has reached this point."

"Mr. Xiao has designated Mr. Xiao as his successor a long time ago. He will inherit the Xiao family in the future. Now he only regards Mr. Xiao as his own family, but he regards you and Changshan as outsiders. Even if he takes power in the Xiao family in the future, I'm afraid you

The couple can't benefit from him at all. Shiqing, you and Changshan should also make plans early. Your life is so long, you have to save some security for your old age, right? I'm afraid it's unreliable to count on Xiao Li's son."

When Li Shiqing heard these words, her heart surged, and her resentment towards the Xiao family continued to rise.

After everyone finished talking, they no longer had the intention to play mahjong, and the hall seemed quiet for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting low, Li Fengyao smiled and smoothed things over, "Mom, aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, what you said is too serious. No matter what happens in the future, no matter how bad things go, your aunt still has my nephew, right?"

In the worst case, I will take care of my aunt and uncle from now on."
