Chapter 174 174: I always feel like I’ve been tricked

But Li Jincheng thought the same way. There has been no news for so many years, and he has never returned... is he gone?

If this is the case, it would be meaningless for him to continue living.

"Li Jincheng, please try the taste of this tea. It tastes even better than the best tea my dad drank before."

His thoughts were brought back again, Li Jincheng hummed and took a bite.

But I didn't feel that the tea was very fragrant, I just felt that the taste in my mouth was unusually bitter.

After listening to Lu Xiaowan's words, the old man said with a smile: "If you like it, young lady, I will pack some for you and take it back to my father-in-law to drink."

"Uh, this is so bad."

"We are all in-laws, so we should fulfill our filial piety for the young master. If the master, his wife, and the young master were here... they would also make arrangements for the young master."

"It's okay. I don't care about this. My family is not a place of etiquette."

The old man smiled but said nothing.

The better your in-laws are, the more filial you must be, otherwise how can you be worthy of them?

This is how the old man and his wife have always behaved. If people respect me, I will give them a foot in return.

So, while Li Jincheng and Lu Xiaowan were looking around, the old man suddenly left for a while. When he came back, he not only had packed tea leaves in his hand, but also two old wooden boxes.

The carved wooden box, when you get closer and smell it, there is a faint scent of sandalwood, which makes it look like something precious.

"Young lady, this is a greeting gift that I give to you on behalf of my wife. Please accept it with a smile."

Lu Xiaowan was about to wave her hand and say no, after all, there was no shame in it.

The old man suddenly straightened his face and said, "It is a gift from the elders, and you must not refuse it... Otherwise, there will be no rules."

Lu Xiaowan was startled by his sudden change of expression, and subconsciously reached out to take it.

Li Jincheng saw it in his eyes, but didn't say anything.

If my grandparents were still alive...this would be more than just a gift for my grandson and his wife.

So in his opinion, Lu Xiaowan's acceptance of these was not excessive.

Quan Dang, the old man left a thought for her.

Although, he had no intention of becoming a real couple with this girl...

"Li Jincheng... Do I really want to take it away? I'm so embarrassed... I originally came here to take a look, but all of them came empty-handed. Where can I take things and leave?"

"Take it and treat it as a piece of my grandparents' love for you."

"Really?"

"Um."

"Oh well……"

When the old man saw this, he said with a smile: "As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be abolished, I don't have many good things in my hands. These are the only things I can get."

"Is this your thing? How can I be embarrassed to take it?"

"Hey, the old slave's things are not also gifts from the master. Why do you think so clearly? The old slave is the property of our old Ji family."

"Ahem, can that be calculated like this?"

"Why not... Although times have changed now, the thinking of our older generation cannot really change in this life. Let the old slave live his life like this and die without regrets."

"Uh, okay... do you still plan to live here and stay here? In fact, you can go home with us... we can provide you with care in your old age."

The old man waved his hands and said: "I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere... The old slave has to wait here for the master to come home. Only when the old slave is here, will the place be popular. If the old slave is gone, this place will really become a yin gas."

What a haunted house."

"But you are so lonely here alone..."

"How can I be lonely? I have to do a lot of work every day. I am not lonely... Besides, the young master will be back soon. There can't be no one here. Otherwise, no one will know that the young master is back."

"Then let's go back and see you more, shall we?"

"If the young master and young lady don't mind it... it's okay to come back for a walk more often. The main house looks shabby on the outside, but in fact it's made of good wood inside and is solid. There will definitely be no problem with the owner.

Let's go back to Ji's house and paint it with good red paint and clean up the weeds in the yard, and we can go back to the past.

Everything is fine, it just looks broken on the surface...I take care of it every year."

"Then you are really a hardworking old man."

"That's right, I'm very hardworking. It's a pity that I can't even see my hard work..."

As he said this, the old man wiped away a handful of bitter tears as sadly as if a rabbit had died or a fox had died.

Lu Xiaowan couldn't help but feel soreness in her nose and red eyes.

"Don't be sad... Li Jincheng and I can see each other. Can we come back and stay for one night every once in a while?"

"Then this old slave will be disrespectful."

The old man who was still wiping away tears just now suddenly changed his face and started to smile again.

Lu Xiaowan: "..." I always feel like I've been tricked.

Li Jincheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, silly girl.

He's just trying to trick you.

In my memory, my grandparents and uncle all like to trick people.

However, she couldn't trick her mother.

Li Jincheng couldn't even figure out why a person like his mother ended up like that.

Is it because he has this weakness?

Li Hong's words came to mind again... So what if Ji Wanyu was aloof? In the end, she knelt in front of me and cried, begging me to let her son go.

"Li Jincheng, otherwise, we can just stay here for one night?"

When the old man heard this, he looked at Li Jincheng expectantly.

Li Jincheng was pulled out of his thoughts again and said with some hesitation: "We didn't bring anything."

"Young master, don't worry. We have everything at home, and I have prepared everything for you... I'm waiting for my masters to come home at any time. How can I not prepare these things?"

"Then just stay."

Lu Xiaowan said happily: "Uncle Zeng, come quickly, let's pull weeds together!"

Zeng Ming: "..." means that this is not within the scope of his responsibilities.

But after listening to the entire conversation, he still walked out.

It can be said that Lao Li's family is the disaster of Lao Ji's family.

If the daughter of the Ji family hadn't married into the Li family, the Li family would never have been as glorious as it is today.

And there is absolutely no way the Ji family could decline like this.

If the Lao Li family has a century-old foundation... then the Ji family's legacy as the head of the family will only last longer.

"Uncle Zeng, go and call the driver in!"

"good."

When the old man saw this, he said with a smile: "My young master is so wise that he even brought a helper... I will go buy some vegetables and come back now, and entertain the distinguished guests with good wine and good food."

"Li Jincheng, you and Uncle Zeng are pulling weeds together, and I'll go shopping with grandpa! If it's inconvenient to pull weeds in a wheelchair, then let Uncle Zeng help you sit on the ground and pull the weeds."

It saves you the chance to think about things and people here and have random thoughts.

The moment he first entered the door, the emotion in Li Jincheng's eyes was too sad.

For a moment, her heart began to throb.

She didn't want to see anything but death in his eyes after coming to such a lifeless place.

It doesn't look alive at all.
