Chapter 796 - 796 786 True Colors Revealed

?Chapter 796: Chapter 786: True Colors Revealed Chapter 796: Chapter 786: True Colors Revealed Auntie Xue’s main idea was that the house had to remain in Old Li’s hands—it was the foundation of his security, and before he took his final breath, the house couldn’t be given to any of his children.

Furthermore, Auntie Xue had analyzed the Li children for Old Li and concluded that the second eldest was the most promising. Through past events, it was clear that the second eldest wasn’t heartless toward family ties. Look, no sooner had he secured his footing in Z Province than he helped his eldest brother’s family, found a job for the child, transferred his brother-in-law to his side, enabling Xianghe to go with her husband in the military. As for favoring his eldest daughter’s family, that came even earlier; Jiajia’s illness was cured by him.

Therefore, Old Li shouldn’t only focus on Li Hongqi but should consider Li Hongjun, his second son, as the wisest choice.

With the second son in good standing, on the day he couldn’t walk anymore, he could rely on the second son to enjoy a bit more of a comfortable life. Though the family wasn’t originally divided this way, he understood his second son and was confident in him. If he were to ask his second son to take care of him in his old age, the second son would certainly agree—after all, the second son was a soldier.

In view of this, there really was no need for fuss; his house, if given to the third child when he was old, would be no different. At this time, Old Li still had his youngest son in his heart.

Qiu Shuping waited at home, left and right, but Old Li never returned. Restless, and too busy to quarrel with Mother Zheng who was cooking in the main hall (for Shuping had snatched the opportunity to cook dinner first), she tidied up and went out to look for him.

She strolled over to the team leader’s house, only to be told by the team leader’s wife that Old Li had left long ago. Qiu Shuping frowned—where could the old man have gone in such a short time?
