Chapter 17 Recovering the Family Property
"Jing is not good!" Early in the morning, Mrs. Li ran to Li Jie's room in panic and shouted, "Your father... your father..."
"What's wrong with my dad?" Li Jie jumped out of the bed with a carp. The plan at the birthday party was successful yesterday, which made him fall asleep in the middle of the night and was not awake yet.
"Your father insisted on seeing your grandfather, saying that he would persuade him to go back to his hometown to avoid disaster. I... I can't stop him!" Mrs. Li replied anxiously. Yesterday, Li Zhu had explained everything to her. Compared to Li Zhu, the father, she trusted Li Jie's judgment more.
"So this is the case." Li Jie smiled calmly after hearing this.
"Son, are you not in a hurry at all?" Mrs. Li asked even more anxiously when she saw Li Jie's appearance. Their family was driven out of the mansion by Li Shanchang yesterday, but Li Zhu hurried over today, which was simply a humiliation.
"Mom, what's the use of being anxious? You know my father's temper better than me. No matter how heartless my grandfather is to him, as long as he knows that his grandfather may suffer a great disaster in the future, he will definitely not stand by and watch." Li Jie spread his hands and said helplessly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly. She knew her husband the most, whether he was pedantic or filial, he was just that kind of person. If he didn't go, he would seem a little ruthless and unrighteous.
"Don't worry, mom, my father will be kicked out at most if he goes there. If he gets disappointed, he will naturally come back!" Li Jie persuaded him again. He had known that Li Zhu would go to see Li Shanchang and let him give up as soon as possible.
Mrs. Li also felt that her son's words made sense, and the hanging heart finally fell down, but then she said with some concern: "Son, your grandfather has pleaded guilty to severing relations with our family. This is not a trivial matter. Maybe someone will even look down on others. You have to be careful in the future if you cause trouble for us!"
"It's better if someone is in trouble. The more this happens, the cleaner we will break up with the Korean Duke's Mansion. If something happens in the future, they will not be afraid of involving us anymore. However, you may be wronged by your mother during this period!" Li Jie finally gave Mrs. Li a vaccination. Cutting off relations is only the first step. There may be other things coming to you next. Mrs. Li must think about it at that time.
"My mother is not old and has suffered a little grievance now. She will be better than losing her life in the future. Speaking of which, your grandfather is really old and she is so old. She is obviously so old and she hasn't returned to her hometown to retire early, but she is still in the capital. This is a place of trouble. In the future, the whole family will be killed by him!" Mrs. Li was also a little angry at the end.
Li Zhu is not favored by Li Shanchang. Of course, Mrs. Li, the daughter-in-law, also has to be angry at home. Especially Li Shanchang caused Li Jie to go crazy, which made her very dissatisfied with Li Shanchang. In addition, yesterday's incident, it was normal for Mrs. Li to curse behind her back. Of course, this is in front of her son. If Li Zhu was here, she would definitely not say that.
Seeing Mrs. Li get angry, Li Jie smiled and advised her a few words. He had already figured out the situation at home. His father, Li Zhu, is a traditional scholar, a bit pedantic and stubborn, and most of his energy is spent on his posts outside, while Mrs. Li is the one who decides the family. Some things Mrs. Li’s words are more effective than Li Zhu.
Things were indeed as Li Jie expected. In the afternoon, Li Zhu came back from outside in depressed, but when Li Jie saw him, his face changed because he saw Li Zhu's left face flushed and swollen, and there was a very obvious slap mark.
"Father, your face..." Li Jie asked, holding back his anger.
"It's okay, I've made your grandfather angry again!" Li Zhu replied with a wry smile.
"Did you see him?" Li Jie asked again. Although it was natural for me to beat my son in this era, he was still very annoyed, and the last bit of respect he had for Li Shanchang completely disappeared.
"I couldn't see you, but I found your fifth uncle first and asked him to plead for me. Finally, I finally saw my father, but after saying a few words, I just looked helpless at the end. Although he knew that there was little hope of convinced his father, he still wanted to give it a try, at least he had a clear conscience in the future.
Just as Li Zhu finished speaking, Mrs. Li walked over quickly in panic. When she saw the scars on Li Zhu's face, her eyes turned red and said, "I said I won't let you go, but you don't listen. You'll suffer!"
Although he complained, Mrs. Li still quickly stepped forward to check Li Zhu's injuries, and then asked someone to bring a medicine box and apply swelling to Li Zhu himself. Although he was an old couple, Li Zhu was a little unnatural in front of his son. He tried to avoid it several times, but he was pulled back by Mrs. Li.
Li Jie was funny and was about to say goodbye and leave to avoid his father being shy. However, before he could speak, he heard a hustle and bustle in the front yard, as if someone was making noise. Then he saw a servant running to report: "Master is not good, the second master has led people into the mansion!"
"What are he doing?" Li Zhu stood up suddenly when he heard this. The so-called second master was of course his second brother Li Li, whom he was not dealing with. The other party has always looked down on him, so the two of them had almost no contact.
"Let's go and have a look!" Li Jie also stood up at this time. Li Li would definitely not come to the door for no reason, and even brought people in. It must be that the visitor was not kind.
Li Zhu nodded and just stood up, but he didn't expect that Li Li had already rushed in from outside with a fierce look. This made Li Zhu's face darker and said, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Who is your second brother? You are no longer from my Li family, so don't gild your face!" Li Li snorted coldly, not giving Li Zhu face at all.
"You..." Li Zhu's face turned red when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it. After all, on the birthday party, Li Shanchang said in front of so many people that he didn't have his son, and drove them out of the mansion, which was indeed a severance.
"What are you here to do?" Li Jie stepped forward and questioned. An honest person like Li Zhu would definitely suffer a loss when dealing with Li Li.
"Hmph, of course, I'm here to take back the property of our Li family. This house, as well as the shops in the city and the fields outside the city, are all from our Li family. Since you are not from the Li family, of course you have to take back these property!" Li Li said disdainfully as he looked at Li Jie.
