Li Dong thought it through and even agreed with his father to adopt this strange cousin.
However, Li Chengyuan went back on his word.
Seeing Li Dong's puzzled face, Li Chengyuan sighed and said, "I wanted to adopt Li Lan before, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was still a little inappropriate."
"Li Lan is 15 this year and has her own ideas. No matter what Chen Jing is like, she is still her mother. She may not be willing to live with us. "
Compared to Chen Jing, Li Chengyuan and his wife were strangers in Li Lan's eyes.
No matter how bad her mother was, she was better than strangers.
The adoption was everyone's wishful thinking, and no one had asked for Li Lan's opinion.
However, Li Lan was not young after all. It was impossible for her not to consider this kind of thing. If Li Lan was not willing, in the end, the good thing might not be achieved and she would be blamed.
Li Dong smiled bitterly when he heard this. If he had known this would happen, he would not have scolded him. In the end, he was in the wrong.
Seeing this, Li Chengyuan knew what he was thinking and said angrily, "I am your father. Is it illegal to say a few words about you? You have to accept it if I have nothing to do!"
Before Li Dong said anything, Cao Fang scolded, "Try to beat him. Old man, the older you are, the more problems you have. Did my son offend you?"
"He is your son, so he is also my son."
Li Chengyuan muttered. Seeing Cao Fang staring at him, he coughed and said, "I was just saying. Don't take it seriously!"
"Humph!"
Cao Fang ignored him and said to Li Dong, "Dongzi, if you have something to do, go back to Pingchuan first. You can come back when that day comes."
Li Dong knew what "that day" meant, and so did Li Chengyuan.
Although he knew it, Li Chengyuan still felt a little sad when Cao Fang said it.
Seeing him drooping his head, Cao Fang wanted to say a few words, but in the end, she did not say it.
In terms of feelings, in the entire Li family, Li Chengyuan was probably the only one who still cared about Li Chenghui. As for the others, even Li Chenghui's son and daughter, they might not be as sad as Li Chengyuan.
After all, they had grown up together and were brothers of the same mother. Li Chenghui was not old, so Li Chengyuan naturally felt bad.
Li Dong and Cao Fang didn't know how to comfort him. Li Chengyuan felt sad for a moment and then said calmly, "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by heaven. He has enjoyed what he should have enjoyed in this life. It's not a waste to live."
After saying this, Li Chengyuan said to Li Dong, "Today, let's talk to Chen Jing and Li Lan. If they agree, I will agree. If you don't agree, we'll take care of Li Lan more in the future and leave the rest to fate. "
Li Dong nodded and didn't say anything.
Cao Fang, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied. "If you ask me, don't even think about adopting her. If she really doesn't have a good life, I don't mind even if she comes to our house for a year or two. We won't forget to feed her. But what's the matter with adopting her? Not to mention that her mother is still alive and the formalities can't be completed, if in the future … "
There were some words that Cao Fang didn't want to say. If they left in the future, the property and the shop left by them would be divided equally by Li Lan and Li Dong.
Although Li Dong was not short of money now, Li Dong earned it himself.
The old couple had worked for a lifetime, so they had to leave something for their son. They were going to leave the house and the shop to their son.
But if they adopted Li Lan, she would be their daughter. How would they settle the account in the future?
Li Chengyuan felt sorry for his niece. Cao Fang didn't know who Li Lan was, so she was naturally on her son's side.
When Li Chengyuan told her about this last night, she was full of displeasure. But Cao Fang believed that death was the most important thing. Li Chenghui wouldn't live long, so Cao Fang didn't want to quarrel with Li Chengyuan at this moment.
Li Chengyuan heard this and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry about it."
Cao Fang snorted and didn't pester him anymore.
After all, this matter hadn't been settled yet. It was too early to discuss these things now. Besides, she felt that Chen Jing would probably not agree.
Unless …
Thinking of this, Cao Fang hurriedly said, "Old man, don't tell anyone about our business and Dongzi."
"I know. I know what to do!" Li Chengyuan said impatiently.
"What the f * ck do you know?"
Li Chengyuan ignored her and thought about what to say later with his hands behind his back.
…
In the afternoon, Li Dong and Li Chengyuan met Chen Jing and Li Lan together.
Li Lan was still so timid. She didn't dare to speak when she saw Li Chengyuan and Li Dong. She lowered her head and no one knew what she was thinking.
However, Chen Jing cried and complained to Li Chengyuan, "Second Uncle, do you think your big brother is still human? Isn't Xiaolan his daughter? But he only cares about Li Nanming and Li Qing … "
Li Chengyuan just listened to her and didn't say anything.
When she finished, she said in a muffled voice, "It's useless to tell me this. I just want to know what you think about what sister-in-law said yesterday."
Chen Jing suddenly stopped crying and said angrily, "What else can I think? I don't agree! I'm not dead yet. I don't need others to adopt my daughter! "
Then Chen Jing said to Li Chengyuan, "Second Uncle, I'm not targeting you. I know you have good intentions, but Wang Li, that black-hearted thing, doesn't have good intentions! She said that the construction team was disbanded. I've inquired about it and everyone is still there. It's just that the name of the construction team has been changed. Don't you think they are evil? "
Li Chengyuan didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't answer. He asked Li Lan, "Xiaolan, what do you think?"
Chen Jing's face darkened slightly. She curled her lips and didn't speak.
Hearing Li Chengyuan's question, Li Lan's face turned red. After a long time, she whispered, "Second … Second Uncle, I talked to my mother."
Li Chengyuan nodded and sighed after a long time, "Then forget it. If you need anything in the future, go to Dongping to find me, or go to Pingchuan to find your brother Dongzi."
Then Li Chengyuan took out a prepared note from his pocket and handed it to Li Lan, "This is my phone number and address, as well as your brother Dongzi's number and address. Write it down. If you need anything, you can find me. Come to my house to play when you have nothing to do. Your aunt hasn't seen you yet. "
Before he came, he had thought about this ending, so he had prepared the phone number and address in advance.
This was also the limit he could do. Since the mother and daughter didn't agree, he couldn't force their daughter.
If it weren't for the fear that Li Lan would suffer with her mother, Li Chengyuan really didn't want to make trouble. Now that the mother and daughter refused, Li Chengyuan was actually relieved.
Li Lan glanced at Chen Jing. Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, she thought about it and took the note.
Speaking of this, Li Chengyuan had nothing more to say. He got up and said, "Then I'll go first. I'll go and persuade the boss. At least he should leave something for you and your mother."
Seeing Chen Jing's expectant face, Li Chengyuan said again, "But I can't guarantee it. It's up to him."
When Chen Jing heard that, she hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, I'm counting on you. Tell Old Li that the two of us are suffering …"
Li Chengyuan was impatient to listen to this. Chen Jing had nothing else to say except complaining.
Not continuing to argue with her, Li Chengyuan said to Li Dong, "Dongzi, let's go to the hospital to see your uncle. You can go back to Pingchuan later."
Li Dong responded and glanced at Li Lan, who was peeping at him. He thought for a moment and said, "Xiaolan, you can call me if you need anything in the future."
Although Li Chengyuan had said it before, Li Dong said it again.
Li Dong had thought about it for a whole day last night. Otherwise, Li Dong would not have left his number if he had encountered the situation today.
Now he asked Li Lan to look for him if she needed anything in the future. It should be a promise from Li Dong.
Li Lan said "hmm" timidly and didn't dare to look at Li Dong again.
Li Dong didn't care. After saying this, he left with Li Chengyuan.
After they left, Chen Jing glared at Li Lan and said, "Useless thing! What did I tell you before I came? I asked you to ask them to help you talk to your father. Why didn't you say anything just now? "
Li Lan lowered his head and didn't speak. Chen Jing was even more dissatisfied and said angrily, "What's the use of raising you? If I had a son, I would have someone to rely on in my next life. If I had known that I would have raised you, I would have strangled you! "
With that, Chen Jing snorted again, took her bag and was about to leave.
Looking back, she saw that Li Lan was reading the note that Li Chengyuan had just left. Chen Jing suddenly said angrily, "What are you looking at? Your cheap second uncle is just a small peddler in the countryside. Do you really think you can count on them? "
After saying that, Chen Jing was still angry. She turned back and grabbed the note from Li Lan's hand and tore it into pieces.
Li Lan was stunned. She only saw the four words on the note — Wanyuan Community.
