Chapter 372 So, I'm your father too?

Li Yingtang: "I don't do any work, so what's there to be unable to endure? I even miss life in the countryside, waking up to the rooster's crow and falling asleep to the bright moon. Watching the snow in winter and admiring the flowers in spring. Staying at home to drink tea on rainy or snowy days, and listening to gossip in my spare time. I love joining in on other people's fun."

To prevent me from running around, Ah-Xian brought cats and dogs to raise for me.

But I still love to play.

Occasionally, she would accompany him into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs to treat the villagers.

Now it can only be a memory.

Her voice was as gentle as a breeze as she spoke slowly.

Everyone listened with great interest.

Su Yun asked proudly, "What's going on in the village?"

"There are many."

Qin Xian was afraid that Li Yingtang would talk about the young men and women in the village sneaking into haystacks and the middle-aged men and women having affairs, so he quickly interjected, "Talking while eating can cause indigestion."

"Okay, I won't say any more."

"."

After the dinner.

Everyone went into the living room to chat.

Li Yingtang turns on the TV.

Wu Hong was particularly fascinated by color TVs, and didn't even blink.

Li Yingtang brought her some fruit, and Wu Hong whispered, "How much did this cost?"

Li Yingtang said in an even lower voice, "Close to eight hundred."

"I've really learned something new today." Wu Hong was beyond shocked; a television cost nearly 800 yuan.

With another two thousand, we could build three large brick houses in the village.

Su Yunjiao: "Yingtang, are all these things in your living room from your shop?"

Li Yingtang: "The previous owner's."

"Why is it so new?"

Li Yingtang: "I asked the paintman from the furniture factory to touch up the paint."

"There are absolutely no signs of repair. Can you recommend a repairman? I have a cabinet in my house that needs repairing."

"First of all, let me explain that the technician's fees are quite high. No matter how many jobs there are, he will charge ten yuan per visit. If you can accept that, give me your address in a bit. I'll have him come to your house to make the necessary purchases on Monday." Li Yingtang said, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "Aunt Guo, could you take my father-in-law and my husband Li Zhengui to their rooms and see if they need anything? I'll get it for them."

"Eh."

Lee Jin-kyu: "Did the things in my room belong to the previous owner?"

Li Yingtang: "You will receive the same treatment as my father-in-law, brand new."

“So, I’m your father too,” Lee Jin-kyu said bluntly.

Grandpa Li patted Li Zhengui on the back of the head: "Don't you know any manners? Your grandma has spoiled you rotten."

Grandma Li: "." Who's used to it?

Isn't it all because of you, old man, who spoiled him?
When out in public, everyone is a junior, so she held back and didn't argue.

Lee Jin-gyu dodged.

Grandpa Li missed his target, glared at Li Zhengui, and said apologetically to Li Yingtang, "Tangtang, don't be angry."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "It's alright, Auntie, go ahead and take him."

"Eh."

Li Tang and Xu Qingyue exchanged glances, their Tangtang subtly hinting at their relationship at any moment.

They really wanted to acknowledge her.

Xi Yue then asked, "Do you have a place to play ping-pong at home?"

Qin Xian: "Yes, it's in the back room up ahead. Want to play a couple of rounds?"

"go!"

Xi Yue and Ding Ying followed Qin Xian away, and Li Tang and Old Master Li, feeling embarrassed to stay in the living room where most women were, also went out.

With the men gone, the women's conversations became much more open.

From skincare and makeup to clothing and fashion, and then to conflicts between couples, they started talking about gossip around them.

“There’s a man near my husband’s house who married his first wife’s daughter from her second marriage, on his fourth marriage.” Ding Wei was the one who spoke.

Everyone said it was too convoluted and they didn't understand it.

Li Yingtang read it twice silently and figured it out: "It's like I'm a man, I marry Sister Wei, then we get divorced, Sister Wei remarries, and then we have a daughter. I also get married and divorced, then married and divorced again, and finally I marry Sister Wei's daughter from her second marriage."

Ding Wei gave a thumbs up: "When my mother-in-law told me this, it took her a long time to explain before I understood. That makes sense." "Is it really true?" someone asked skeptically.

Li Yingtang also suspects that these days, divorce will attract gossip, and men and women will not take the initiative to divorce unless they really can't live together anymore.

Moreover, he has been married and divorced multiple times.

Ding Wei: "More real than real gold."

“You’ve only heard about it. This is based on my friend’s personal experience. She and her boyfriend had been separated for three years, and she was two months pregnant. She asked me how she decided to keep the baby,” Su Yunjiao said.

Su Yunling: "Who is it? Don't give me any bad advice, or you'll get into trouble."

“You don’t know him, he was my roommate in college, I didn’t give him any advice.”

Li Yingtang: "We're in the same dorm, which means we don't usually interact much. The fact that they suddenly contacted you about this clearly means they're targeting you and hoping you can handle things."

"I can't even handle my own affairs, how can I take care of her? If you were in her shoes, how would you handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yingtang knew Su Yunjiao was going to interfere. If it were her, she would seduce her husband a few more times and pin the blame on him. "Separated for three years, why not get a divorce? If I were separated for three months, goodbye." The woman was definitely after something from the man, and having been ignored for three years, she was looking for an opportunity to retaliate.

It's best to stay as far away from people like that as possible.

Su Yunjiao: "I'm not quite sure either."

Su Yunling: "You don't understand, yet you're giving advice to others?"

Su Yunjiao: "We were classmates."

Li Yingtang: "." So you admit it? As a friend, she couldn't help but remind her: "No matter how good a classmate is, you shouldn't agree to things that violate morality. Don't be foolish. If you tell your mother-in-law about this, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will probably be even worse."

Su Yunjiao said awkwardly, "Let me ask."

Li Yingtang did not respond.

Ding Xuan suddenly asked, "Ying Tang, where is your bathroom?"

Li Yingtang: "Go out this door and turn right. There's a small building next to it. Push the door open and you'll see the restrooms. They're separated for men and women. There are signs on them, so don't go in without reading them."

"Hey."

"."

Towards the afternoon.

As their friends left one by one, Li Yingtang personally saw Jia Yan off when he left.

Upon reaching the front door, he said, "This is it. The room is thoughtfully arranged." It was exactly the same as the house he was currently living in, with the same furniture and layout.

Li Yingtang: "I secretly peeked into your house last time, worried that you might not be able to sleep in a comfortable bed, so I specially found one."

Lee Jin-kyu's room is also a one-to-one replica.

So Lee Jin-kyu said there was nothing new about it.

I have no expectations about staying at her house.

As soon as he said that, his grandfather chased him all over the courtyard with a broom.

"If I stay permanently, will Xiao Xian welcome me?" Jia Yan was worried that he would push his luck and annoy Qin Xian.

Li Yingtang: "He didn't object, did he?"

"Yes." He seemed slightly pleased.

After seeing Jia Yan off, Li Yingtang settled the wages of the cook and his assistant, then turned and went back to the living room.

Wu Hong stood up from the sofa: "It's Dr. Qin's house, I should be going too."

"Don't rush, there are two pig's trotters and a roast duck in the kitchen that we haven't used yet. You can take them home if you don't mind."

“How could I possibly dislike it?” Wu Hong accepted.

Li Yingtang led her into the kitchen.

Wu Hong had been following Li Yingtang since entering the gate, without ever going into the kitchen. Observing the space, she found it to be quite spacious.

There is a traditional earthen stove, as well as modern kitchen cabinets and a range hood; cooking can be done with gas.

"Your kitchen is great; there's enough room for seven or eight people to stand around."

Li Yingtang: "At the time, I was also optimistic about this space. I could smell the steamed buns coming out of the pot, and I noticed you hadn't eaten much. You must be hungry on the way back, so I told you to eat before you left."

Wu Hong was deeply moved. So many important people had come to her house, yet the young wife didn't bother to curry favor with them, while they paid attention to her, a village woman who seemed to have no real influence.

Just now at the dinner table, she was too shy to eat much in front of her wife's friends.

I'm really hungry right now.

She was eating steamed buns.

Li Yingtang took out two large boxes of mooncakes from a cabinet next to her: "These were given to Ah Xian by her company during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I haven't eaten them yet. I only remembered them when I moved. They're still a while away from expiring. If you don't mind, you can take them."
