Chapter 147.1: Ancient Farmers’ Son (4)
Li Lanlan’s eyes were still a bit swollen. As soon as she instinctively took the money and heard what her husband said clearly, she became stunned.
“From my Father?”
Her first reaction was that it was impossible. Father Li was someone she knew better than anyone else. From childhood to adulthood, he only knew how to take money from the family and never gave her a single cent. Even when she got married, she didn’t receive a penny.
Seeing Li Lanlan’s expression, Lin Shiheng smiled lightly and spoke in a gentle tone, “Father-in-law saw that our family is poor and my Father’s health isn’t good, so he insisted on giving us the money, saying that it’s for us to live a good life.”
If he had said that Father Li gave the money out of concern for his daughter, Li Lanlan would definitely not believe it. However, if he said that Father Li saw that the Lin family was poor and the elder was in poor health, she would somewhat believe it.
Father Li had always caused countless troubles for the family due to this habit. In the past, when Li Lanlan’s own father took away all the food from their home to give to others, she couldn’t even get a bite to eat when she was extremely hungry. She never expected that after getting married, she would actually experience his sympathy.
After considering Father Li’s character, Li Lanlan completely believed it when she held the money. She handed the money back to Lin Shiheng. Her voice was still slightly hoarse from crying earlier, “Husband, please keep it.”
“This money is given by your Father; how can I accept it? You should keep it.”
The scholar smiled and didn’t take the money.
