Li Mingxi looked at the purse in front of him, not knowing whether he should take it or not, so he just looked at Hua.

Although she didn't know what was inside, she thought it would be something she couldn't return the favor. This kind of exchange was just right for Hua, so she smiled and nodded. Li Mingxi smiled upon seeing this, thanked Zhang, and accepted the purse.

I squeezed it gently and it didn't feel like a copper coin or a silver bar, but a small piece of jewelry?

Li Mingxi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhang again.

It was within Hua's expectation that Zhang would give her a gift, but neither of them expected that Zhang would give them jewelry instead of gold and silver.

Generally speaking, favors are exchanged between people, that is, you give some copper coins and silver bars to my child, and I give some to your child. This kind of exchange is mainly for the sake of face. Only elders will give some jewelry to their favorite younger generations, which means love and care.

Li Mingxi's eyes were a little complicated. What did this third aunt mean?

Zhang touched the other small purse in her arms, still smiling.

Before she came, she prepared two purses, one filled with change and the other filled with a pair of gold earrings.

Before the New Year, Hua came to their house, not empty-handed, but brought gifts, which Zhang accepted. So no matter what Li Mingxi's attitude towards her was today, Zhang would give him a purse, but she didn't know who she would give it to.

"Good boy, you must be filial to your mother in the future. If you have any problems, tell your uncle and aunt. We will help if we can and will definitely not just stand by and watch." Zhang patted Li Mingxi's hand gently and spoke in a low voice.

This is not the place to talk. It will be fine as long as Hua and Li Mingxi understand what Zhang means.

"I know what you are talking about. You just wish we would die sooner. People are useless when they get older. As soon as you enter the house, you go after your rich uncle and aunt. Do you think we old people are worthless?" Old Mrs. Zheng's shrill voice came again.

It's just a pity that after the divorce, Hua is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Even if Old Madam Zheng has great power, it will be of no use. However, Li Mingxi is still the granddaughter of the Li family, so Hua didn't say anything unpleasant. She gently pulled Li Mingxi's hand and winked at Zhang.

Everyone understood what the other meant, and no one said anything. They just made way for the door, and Li Mingxi and Hua walked in.

"Grandpa, grandma, your granddaughter kowtows to you." Li Mingxi knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Logically speaking, now that Li Mingxi has kowtowed, Mr. Li or Mrs. Zheng should take out a red envelope as a token of appreciation, and then use this opportunity to let Li Mingxi get up. But how could Mrs. Zheng prepare this?

Li Mingxi had not expected anything in the first place. She kowtowed as a formality and nothing else mattered to her. After waiting for a while, Li Mingxi saw that Old Lady Zheng had no intention of asking her to get up. She sneered in her heart, stood up directly, straightened her dress, and stood back beside Mrs. Hua.

As a junior, it is her duty to kowtow and show respect to her elders. There is nothing to say about it, but this does not mean that she is willing to accept humiliation and embarrassment for no reason.

Old Madam Zheng had originally wanted to make Li Mingxi kneel down to establish her authority, but she didn't expect that even this brat would dare to ignore her.

Just as Mrs. Zheng was about to speak, Mr. Li gave her a warning look.

Today, Old Mrs. Zheng has offended the third son and his wife. Although she doesn't know why, she sees that the third son's wife and this Hua seem to have a good relationship now. It would be bad if the relationship becomes strained again.

"Today is about Mei'e. Although I am not the daughter-in-law of the Li family now, I am here because Mingxi is following me. If grandpa and madam are not unhappy, Mingxi and I will have a meal here. If grandpa and madam are not willing, Mingxi and I will leave now and will definitely not be an eyesore here." Hua had a decent smile on her face and held Li Mingxi's hand with one hand, making her attitude clear.

"That's true. No matter what, Mingxi is the granddaughter of our Li family. To put it bluntly, even though Mingxi follows you now, when she gets married in the future, she will have to marry out of our Li family, right? The fact that you can come here today means that you have Mei'e and us old couple in your heart. We are so happy that we can't wait to let you go." Grandpa Li said with a smile, but everyone could see that Grandpa Li's smile was not from the heart.

But it doesn't matter, because both Mr. Li and Mrs. Hua are just doing it to save face.

After being told that they could stay, Hua took Li Mingxi and found a place to sit down.

"Sister, why don't you sit down? I don't think there is much work for us to do now, so why are you standing here?" After Hua sat down, she still didn't forget Zhang, and said with a smile while raising her head.

Zhang thought about it and it made sense. There might be a lot of things waiting for them to do in the future. If they kept standing, they would be the ones who would suffer. It would be better for them to take a rest now while they could.

Zhang nodded and pulled Li Sanlang to sit down.

"Sister Hua is right." Zhang smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. She talked to Hua from time to time and they seemed to be in very harmonious relationship.

"I asked you to come here today not to ask you to be the boss in our house. This is a matter of great importance in Mei'e's life. If any of you fail me, I, an old lady, will never let you go." Old Mrs. Zheng sounded full of energy, and she could easily threaten her former daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law who had already separated from the family.

"Where's the second son? Why hasn't he come yet? Didn't I ask someone to tell him yesterday? It's already so late, and there's still a lot of work to do at home. The second son has been like this all his life. No matter what he does, he has no plan in mind. The third son, go to the second son's house now and ask him to come quickly. Tell him that I called him. If he doesn't come, he won't have to come in this life. When I die, I'll have someone throw him at their doorstep." Mrs. Zheng looked around and suddenly remembered that Li Erlang hadn't come yet. What could this do? She immediately assigned a task to Li Sanlang.

This is not a difficult task, just a trip, but thinking that Old Lady Zheng has been causing trouble today, Li Sanlang doesn't want to leave Zhang here alone.

"I'll ask the girl we brought with us to run a little, and she'll be able to find my second brother's house." Li Sanlang said.
