Chapter 212 - 212 Self-pity
212 Self-pity
Hearing Second Uncle Le’s constant knocking and begging outside, the old couple’s eyes turned red, but no one stood up to open the door.
“Our first son was right. The second’s personality is so twisted that it is impossible to change it. For a greedy person like him, he would probably not be satisfied even if he really gave him the company.”
“Forget it, the children and grandchildren will have their own fortune.” Grandpa Le’s heart was tight, but he still had to comfort his wife.
“We don’t think we’ve done anything wrong to him, but he still insists on hating us. There’s no other way.”
“It’s our fault for not teaching our son well. We only have ourselves to blame for everything that happened today.” Old Madam Le shook her head.
This was their responsibility, and they couldn’t drag Papa Le’s family down with them.
“Didn’t you say that you have a friend who opened a sanatorium in the southern continent? He’s been inviting you over. Since we’re free this year, let’s go and have a look. If the environment is really good, we can consider staying there for a while.”
Old Master Le knew that she wanted to avoid these disputes. If they were not here, Second Brother Le wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant with such confidence, and Eldest Brother Le wouldn’t have to be so apprehensive.
He patted her hand and said,
“Okay, we haven’t been out for a while. Let’s go out and relax.”
The two elders had a good plan, but Le Yan was in the old house, so when they started to pack up the next day, Le Yan called Second Uncle Le.
“What did you say to grandpa and grandma yesterday? Why did they suddenly pack up and go to the southern continent? It seems that they will stay there for a long time.”
Second Uncle Le’s drunken mind suddenly sobered up. He thought of what Old Master Le had said yesterday. Were they really going to give up on him?
Second Uncle Le jumped up from the bed.
“No, we mustn’t let them go to the southern continent!”
The southern continent was the southernmost part of the country. It would take about six or seven hours to get there by plane. The sky was high and the Emperor was far away. The old man and woman could find an excuse not to see him, so they mustn’t be allowed to leave the old house.
Second Uncle Le jumped down from the bed and was about to put on his shoes to go out when Second Aunt Le quickly stopped him.
“You reek of alcohol and your clothes are wrinkled. Hurry up and tidy yourself up. Otherwise, the old master will only be angrier when he sees you.”
After all, the old master hated to see him drunk all day.
Second Uncle Le hurriedly went to the bathroom. He stopped halfway and said,
“No, I have to go like this.” After saying that, he looked into the mirror and messed up his waxed hair and his clothes.
“What are you doing?” Second Aunt Le asked, puzzled.
Second Uncle Le felt that she was in the way and pushed her away.
“I’m just trying to trick them.”
Second Aunt Le thought that this was fine too. Although Old Master Le and Old Madam Le were biased towards the eldest son’s family, they still felt quite sorry for their youngest son. Therefore, the more miserable Le Tang looked, the more they would feel sorry for him.
Second Aunt Le sized up her husband. Seeing that his hair was messy, his clothes were in a mess, and his face was a little swollen from the hangover, he looked like a frustrated middle-aged man. She frowned and said,
“I think we’re still missing something.”
Second Uncle Le turned around and looked at himself in the mirror.
“What are you missing? Is the wine not strong enough?”
If it wasn’t thick enough, he could sprinkle a little more.
“Going too far is as bad as not enough. If the smell is too strong, I’m afraid the old master will be even more upset with you.”
Second Aunt Le quickly shook her head. She thought for a moment and said,
“It’s still missing a wound. If you had a few more bruises on your face, you’d look even more pitiful.”
Second Uncle Le grabbed his hair.
“It’s so rushed. I can’t find the person to put on the special effects!”
By the time he found them and put on the makeup, they would have already boarded the plane to the southern continent.
“Should I go online and watch other people’s teaching videos?”
Second Aunt Le loved to buy cosmetics and also liked to watch makeup videos. She thought that her skills were quite good and that she might be able to learn them by watching the videos.
However, Second Uncle Le didn’t believe in her skills. After thinking for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said,
“Why don’t you hit my face hard?”
Second Aunt Le looked at his rough face and then at her own tender hands.
“Do you want me to get a hammer or something?” After all, the effect would be mutual. If she hit his face, her hand would hurt too.
Second Uncle Le was shocked.
“Are you trying to kill your husband?”
In the end, Second Aunt Le walked around the room and found a suitable dictionary.
As a result, Le An, who had just come out of her room and was preparing to go to school, heard the sound like a pig was being slaughtered in the corridor.
