Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 180 Awkward

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Shiya said with an embarrassed and ugly face.

Just now, she saw her husband kneeling at the door and being beaten by the old man's cane, and she also heard what the old man said, that he was standing up for his husband's ex-wife! She was full of resentment at this time, why! Is it necessary to continue a marriage without love?

Li Renyi carried his mother to the sofa, put her down steadily, and said to Li Yaozu, "Dad, come here, sit here."

"Yeah!" Li Yaozu said.

Having said that, he walked straight to his wife and sat down.

"You three, come here quickly, kneel down and kowtow to your grandparents, quickly." Li Renyi shouted.

At this time, the idea in his mind was to ask his parents to recognize his grandchildren first, and then it would be easier to talk to his wife. Otherwise, he really didn't know how his father would look at his wife.

"Grandpa, I'm the reinforcement. I kowtow to you." said the reinforcement, and then he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Then the second and third children followed suit and waited blankly for their grandparents to answer them.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and they looked at their father in confusion.

Li Renyi was helpless when he saw this. He knew that what he was worried about was still going to happen, so he looked to Li Kangri beside him for help.

"Hey, I'm suffering while I'm having fun, what does it have to do with me?" Li Kangri complained in his heart.

But despite his complaints, he still said, "Grandpa, these three grandchildren are calling you, but you don't answer. Don't make things difficult for the children. You are a man."

"Who said I didn't agree? You didn't react?" Li Yaozu said, "Have you three ever acknowledged your eldest brother?"

"Grandpa, I've recognized them. And Sister Qinghe, they are very kind to us. Sister Qinghe even cooks for us!" Qinglian said.

"Well, that's good enough, get up!" said Li Yaozu.

Hearing that Li Yaozu recognized his grandson, Grandma Li beside him was delighted and immediately said, "Come here, the three of you, come here, grandma will cherish you for a moment. My grandson looks just like your father when he was a child."

"Hurry over there, didn't you hear that grandma wants to take care of you?" Li Renyi said to the three stunned children.

"Grandma, grandma, grandma." The three children ran over and surrounded Grandma Li and shouted.

"Hey, my dear grandchildren, come here, I'll give you some candy."

As she spoke, Grandma Li lifted up her collar and took out the candy that she had prepared long ago. This was given to her by someone in the countryside, and she had been keeping it just for today.

While Grandma Li was talking to her grandchildren, Zhou Shiya came over with a pot of tea, and said to Li Renyi with an embarrassed look on her face, "Old Li, the tea is ready."

When she spoke, she didn't even dare to look directly at Li Yaozu and his wife. She had prepared for this situation countless times, but when she really faced it, it was really embarrassing.

"Well, hurry up and pour some water for our father and mother." Li Renyi said.

"Ok!"

Soon, two cups of tea were poured, and Zhou Shiya silently placed the water in front of the two old people. She wanted to call Dad for some water, but she saw that Li Yaozu didn't even look at her, but kept looking at the children, so she didn't call, but just glanced at Li Renyi awkwardly.

"Well..." Li Renyi said awkwardly, "Dad, Xiao Zhou poured you some water. Are you thirsty? Have a sip."

"I'm not thirsty. I don't drink her tea. I have my own daughter-in-law. Don't think that I will recognize her. In my heart, I only have one daughter-in-law, and that is Shuixiang. I don't recognize any other." Li Yaozu said, turning his head.

After hearing what Li Yaozu said, Zhou Shiya's eyes immediately turned red, and then tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"This..." Li Renyi looked at Li Kangri awkwardly again, wanting to ask him to say something again. He could see that his father now listened to his son.

Seeing Li Renyi's gaze, Li Kangri immediately looked up at the ceiling. He didn't want to help Li Renyi this time. Although he didn't want his mother and father to rekindle their past relationship, he would not help Li Renyi with this matter. This was his way of protecting his mother.

Seeing that Li Kangri didn't help him, Li Renyi said helplessly, "Xiao Zhou, go upstairs and have a rest first! I'll talk to our parents for a while."

"Ok!"

Just like that, Zhou Shiya went upstairs crying with tears in her eyes.

After Zhou Shiya left, the atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and even the three children fell silent.

Li Renyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Mom, when did you come?"

"I came in the afternoon." Grandma Li replied.

"Kang Ri, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could send someone to pick him up?" Li Renyi said.

"No need to wait for you to pick it up. My grandson's apprentice will pick it up," Li Yaozu said proudly.

"Oh, is that so? How about Kangri, what did you give your grandparents to eat this afternoon? How about I prepare something more for you?" Li Renyi said, he really didn't know what to say.

"Qinghe made it. There's a whole table of it! It's all meat, hehe." Li Kangri replied.

"Oh, Qinghe did a good job, Qinghe did a good job," Li Renyi said awkwardly. He really didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was not right and he didn't know where to start with all the words he had to say.

"Haha, I see you really have nothing to say," Li Kangri said with a smile, "Are you going to ask next whether it is time to go to bed at home and let me clean up your room?"

"You little bastard, you see I'm feeling sad, but you don't even say anything. This is what I mean. Dad, Mom, how about I prepare a room for you to rest? Okay?" Li Renyi said.

"No, I just came to see you. I will go back soon. This is not my home. My grandson's home is my home." Li Yaozu said.

"Ah! This is not good, Dad. I was thinking of taking you around tomorrow! This Sijiu City is very big, why don't you stay here tonight!" Li Renyi said.

"No, I can't get used to living here." Li Yaozu refused.

"Mom, look at Dad, haven't I admitted my mistakes? I've beaten me and scolded me. If you're really not satisfied, why not do it again?" Li Renyi said aggrievedly.

"Son, if you were wrong, you were wrong. Beating people won't make it go away. Your father and I came to see you because we missed you. I know what you're thinking, but that won't work. If we accept your current wife, we in the Li family will have no conscience. We will be ashamed to live and will be criticized in the back." Grandma Li said.

"Mom, I just want to show my filial piety. After so many years, I owe you so much. I also have a lot to say to you. Why don't you stay at my house tonight! I will have a good talk with you." Li Renyi said.
