Chapter 24: Beautiful and Bubbling
Chapter 24: Beautiful and Bubbling
Seeing that she didn't even give him face in front of the two children, Li Changle also got angry and said sarcastically: "Aunt, the Li family's brand has nothing to do with you, you just need to put up your family's brand well."
"You loser, I'm the Li family's aunt, how dare you deny me?" Li Guixiang was furious, and turned to Li's mother and said, "Look at how you've spoiled him. If you don't take good care of him, you'll end up in jail sooner or later!"
"Aunt, you are talking nonsense. My father will never go to jail!" Li Xiaohai looked at her with a fierce face. "My father said that he didn't go out to earn money because there was no need for him in the family before. Now he can earn money. He earned a lot today and gave it all to my mother."
"Aww..." Li Xiaozhou hugged his mother's legs and started crying, "Grandma, my aunt is so annoying, I don't like her, my dad is so hardworking, that's why he won't go to jail!"
Li Changle looked at his aunt who was confused by the two children, and his heart was filled with joy. There was no such good thing in his previous life. His two sons would only look at him with eyes of disappointment, or treat him as air, and never defended him in front of relatives...
Mother Li hugged her two grandsons, her heart broken. "Aunt, how can you curse your nephew like this? My Ah Le is just a little lazy. He never steals or robs. He has never done anything to harm others. How come he ruined the Li family? Is he in jail?"
I know Ah Le is not a good person. As his aunt, I have no objection even if you scold or beat him, but you can't curse him to go to jail!
Besides, you also heard what Xiaozhou said, Ah Le didn't go out to mess around all day today, he went to the sea to make money."
My elder sister-in-law thought that since she married into the town, she was a city person. Every time she came home, she looked down on whatever A Le did.
What he says is always in a sarcastic tone, even he himself feels uncomfortable listening to it. Ah Le is like a donkey, he won't move forward even if you lead him, and even moves backwards when you hit him.
It seems like he is really going to change for the better this time. What if after what she said, he becomes the same as before?
"Good intentions are not rewarded, and you will suffer sooner or later!" Li Guixiang did not expect that the two little guys and Li's mother would not give her face. She was so angry that she left after saying this.
Mother Li was so angry that she glared at Li Changle, "You debt collector! I told you to be more diligent and stop hanging out with Wang Mazi and his gang every day, but you didn't listen! Now listen, even your aunt said this about you, and people outside must say something even worse!"
"Mother, I'm already changing!" Li Changle said with a smile, "I even deliberately quarreled with Wang Mazi today..."
"Really?" Li's mother didn't believe it and turned to look at Li Xiaohai, "Xiaohai, is what your father said true?"
"It's true!" Li Xiaohai held her hand, "Grandma, Dad also scolded Wang Mazi..."
"Good, good, good! Good scolding!" Mother Li said several good things in a row, happily holding her two grandsons' hands and striding towards the ward, "Go back and tell your grandfather, let him be happy too!"
Li Changle hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Mother, is my father feeling better?"
Li's mother said distressedly, "He was crying out in pain this morning. Doctor Lin gave him painkillers and antidotes. He slept for a while and looked much better when he woke up."
As they were talking, three generations arrived at the ward, and Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaozhou rushed to the bedside, shouting "Father Li".
The older one looked at him eagerly and asked, "Grandpa, are you feeling better? Eat more meat and eggs, and you'll get better soon!"
"Grandpa, where does it hurt? I'll give you some heat and it will stop hurting." The little one said, looking at the wound wrapped in gauze, "Is it here? I'll give you some heat!"
"Good boy, no need!" Father Li quickly held him, his mouth wide open with joy, "Grandpa is much better now. Look, my aunt, my great-aunt, and my great-aunt all sent me eggs and longans to visit me. Bring some home later. Also, the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital in two days. Grandpa will take you to the sea for fishing when he gets home!"
"My father and mother also took us to go shopping today..." The little one told him about the shopping and selling of goods, and then started to complain.
"When we came here, we met my aunt. She even cursed my father for going to jail in the future! My father will never go to jail. Grandpa, I don't like my aunt. Every time she sees us, she says we are debt collectors!"
The eldest one took over and said, "I don't like my aunt either. Every time she sees my mother, she says that my mother is stupid. She gave up her job as a city woman and stayed in the country to be a country woman."
"Alas!" Father Li touched his grandson's head, "Grandpa will definitely tell on my aunt next time he sees her." Then he glared at Li Changle, "Look how much your son protects you. Be more careful in the future and don't let the child hate you!"
"I see." Li Changle looked at the gauze on his leg. "Does it still hurt? Do you get out of breath when you walk? Does your heart hurt?"
"Except for the pain from the wound, there's nothing else that's uncomfortable!"
Father Li was touched by his son's caring words, and said with relief, "Doctor Lin examined your father this afternoon. He said the situation is better than he expected. He told me to pay attention to it in the next two days and take the medicine for another three days. If it works, I can be discharged from the hospital."
Li's mother took over and said, "Doctor Lin also said that if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, first you should tie up the wound, second you should remove the poisonous blood as soon as possible, and then send the patient to the hospital for serum injection as soon as possible.
He said we have done both of these things... After Dr. Lin left, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. If I hadn't listened to you, a few hours at night... your father would have suffered in the future!"
Li Changle was extremely happy. Having lived a new life, she finally helped her father avoid the misfortune of his previous life. She would no longer be as ambitious but incompetent as in her previous life, looking down on small amounts of money and unable to earn big money.
As long as they work hard in the future, A Niang and A Nan won't have to work as hard as before, and they probably won't get that serious disease.
The top priority now is to make money, work hard to make money, repair the boat, buy a small sail, and change to a big boat...
Father Li felt relieved when he saw his son was really changing. "Okay! You guys have seen me. It's getting dark. Hurry and take the child home for dinner."
Li Changle nodded, thought about it and said with a smile: "Awei heard that you were bitten by a snake, so he left two kilograms of big sand to give you a supplement. I thought you were injured in the leg..."
"Pa!" Father Li slapped him on the arm with a dark face, "Idiot! I'll deal with you after my leg is healed!"
"Grandpa!" Li Xiaohai looked at him puzzledly, "The satay we had in the evening was given by Uncle Awei. Mom said to make satay stewed with pork and satay vermicelli soup. Aunt also said that we were too thin and that eating more satay would make us stronger!"
The muscles on Father Li's face twitched a few times. "Aunt is right. Xiaohai and Xiaozhou are too thin. Go home and eat more so they can grow stronger!"
"Yes, he is very strong!" Li Changle couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
Li's mother was angry and amused. She grabbed him and slapped him several times, "What a joke!"
