Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1163 - 211-3
Halfway through the search, Li Sanjiang slapped his forehead, thinking the child was still young, wondering what on earth he was thinking, truly shameless.
"Little Yuanhou, come with me to see your grandpa again."
"Okay."
On the dam, Liu Yumei, who was sitting there drinking tea, first fixed her gaze on the boy, then shifted it to her own granddaughter.
As the only descendant of the Qin and Liu Families, it's impossible that Liu Yumei hadn't thought about this possibility for Alii.
It was just that Alii was seriously ill before, and she had basically given up on the idea of her marrying in the future. Now seeing Alii's condition continuously improving, she was already contemplating how to sort out the surname issue.
After all, Xiao Yuan also carries his mother's surname Li, he probably doesn't care much about the surname. By then, if she thickens her skin and asks, she might be able to...
Aunt Liu suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yumei.
Liu Yumei was startled, her face showing a hint of annoyance.
Aunt Liu said grievance: "I've called you several times, asking what you'd like for dinner, but you didn't respond. So, what exactly were you thinking just now?"
Liu Yumei's annoyed expression turned slightly red, and she replied: "I was thinking about what material would be good for Alii's new clothes."
Aunt Liu: "Have one!"
Liu Yumei: "That won't be enough!"
Aunt Liu laughed.
Liu Yumei raised her hand: "You cheeky thing, asking for a beating!"
Aunt Liu chuckled as she ran ahead, with the old lady chasing her behind.
Uncle Qin stood in the field with a hoe on his shoulder, watching this scene on the dam with a smile on his face.
It was as if everything had returned to when he and Ah Ting were children, and whenever Ah Ting made a mistake, the mistress would chase after her for discipline, yet with all her martial skills, she could never catch the unwilling-to-train-hard Ah Ting.
Alii, who was painting in the room on the second floor, came out of her room, glanced at her grandma and Aunt Liu's chase, then turned back to continue her painting.
In the painting, clouds that were initially solemn and austere were given a few more strokes by the girl, adding a touch of vivid brightness.
Li Sanjiang took Li Zhiyuan to visit Li Weihan's house again, just in time to see Li Zhiyuan's little uncle there, holding a bowl filled with meat.
Last night during dinner, Li Zhiyuan had instructed Xiong Shan to deliver some meat.
The little uncle, seeing Li Sanjiang, was initially frightened and shrunk his neck, then forced a smile: "Mr. Sanjiang."
He knew that Li Sanjiang didn't fancy the four brothers, and sometimes when they met in the village, he'd spit at them from afar, calling them ingrates.
Li Sanjiang cheerfully approached, ignoring the meat in the bowl, and instead asked: "Your dad told me he needs to go to the kiln to carry bricks to repay the hospitalization surgery fees paid by you four brothers."
Little Uncle: "I didn't ask, it was my brothers who..."
Seeing Li Sanjiang pick up a stick from the ground.
The little uncle immediately ran off with the bowl.
Li Sanjiang threw the stick, hitting the little uncle on the back, causing him to grunt but he still continued to protect the meat in the bowl as he ran home.
Li Weihan and Cui Guiying, hearing the commotion, came out of the house.
Cui Guiying, upon seeing Li Zhiyuan, rushed to him, hugging him, touching his head and face fondly.
Li Sanjiang angrily glared at Li Weihan. Li Weihan explained:
"The meat came from Shan Hou today. Seeing that the Hou family has many and young children, I let him take it for the kids..."
Upon hearing this, Li Sanjiang first glanced at Little Yuanhou beside him, then looked at Li Weihan, let out a cold laugh, and cursed:
"It's not like before. It's hard to starve someone with limbs intact in these times. Who the hell are you performing for!"
Li Weihan was dumbfounded. He was reprimanded by Uncle Sanjiang yesterday, and today's scolding was even harsher.
Li Sanjiang: "Tomorrow you and Marquis Guiying go to Shan Hou's place and help plant peach trees and harvest peaches, earning wages, including two meals."
Li Weihan quickly replied: "Alright, helping Uncle Sanjiang is just what we should do, there's no need for wages..."
Li Sanjiang cursed: "Stubborn old coot, without the wages, how are you going to repay the money to your four sons!"
Seeing Uncle Sanjiang so angry, Li Weihan could only nod.
Li Sanjiang added: "The meals are only for eating, not for taking, don't you think about taking advantage of me!"
Li Weihan hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't, I won't, we understand."
Li Sanjiang sighed, not bothering to get angry anymore, just said lightly: "Take care of yourself, or you won't outlive me."
"Yes, yes, understood, understood." Li Weihan nodded with constant smiles, thinking in his heart: To outlive Uncle Sanjiang, I honestly don't have that confidence.
Li Sanjiang further said: "If you and Marquis Guiying ever get bedridden and need care, the real drama will just begin."
Finished speaking, Li Sanjiang walked away with Li Zhiyuan.
Walking along the field path, Li Zhiyuan peeled the boiled egg that grandma just gave him, first offering it to Grandmaster, who took a small bite:
"Little Yuanhou, you eat it yourself."
"Mm."
Li Zhiyuan was afraid of Grandmaster getting angry because Grandmaster should have guessed who ordered Xiong Shan to deliver the meat.
"Little Yuanhou..."
"Mm, Grandmaster."
"Grandmaster has lived so long and learned a truth—some people are just destined to live the life they do. Don't try to change their fate; even if you're helping them, they may not appreciate it."
"I understand, Grandmaster."
"Come on, let Grandmaster carry you!"
Li Zhiyuan climbed onto Li Sanjiang's back. Li Sanjiang adjusted a bit: "Wow, the little sparrow is getting bigger."
Back home, they had dinner.
Li Zhiyuan and Alii returned to their room, sitting face to face, with the wordless book spread open before them.
On this page, inside the cage in the painting, a woman in red was already hanging, her face purple, tongue sticking out long.
