Chapter 5550: Chapter 5550: Quarrel

Li Jinnian returned to the Li family’s old residence, and even before he entered the house, he could hear the arguing voices from the living room.

"Li Ronghuan, what do you mean by placing the memorial tablet on my mother’s seat during the New Year? What are you trying to do?"

The sharp and piercing voice came, and Li Jinnian couldn’t help but frown.

"Big sister, what are you talking about? This is not just any memorial tablet, it’s the spirit tablet of our father and mother. Moreover, isn’t the New Year supposed to be for family reunion? What’s the problem with inviting our parents?" Li Ronghuan answered sternly to Madam Li, "What, big sister, just because father has just passed away, you don’t care about him at all?"

Madam Li was outraged; that was not what she meant at all. She actually meant the woman who had caused her to send away her rightfully born child outside for over a decade!

The door wasn’t locked, Li Jinnian directly unlocked it and entered, only to see Li Ronghuan placing Old Master Li and Old Madam Li’s memorial tablets in the main seats.

Those were the seats Old Madam Li and Old Master Li often sat in when they were alive.

And Madam Li, supporting the incensed and pale-faced Madam Li, looked as if she was about to faint.

"Uncle, don’t you think you’re going too far?" Du Jiayi couldn’t help but speak up for her grandmother and mother, "You are disregarding my grandmother!"

"Going too far? Where am I going too far? Also, Jiayi, don’t you know that the younger generation should not interrupt when the elders are speaking? What are you butting in for, being someone from outside the family?" Li Ronghuan took a stern look at Du Jiayi, completely assuming the tone of an elder lecturing a junior, "If this gets out, it won’t sound good. By then, not just the Qin family, no family would want a daughter-in-law who contradicts the elders on the first day of the New Year."

"Uncle!" Du Jiayi widened her eyes as she looked at Li Ronghuan, but she hesitated to continue, knowing all too well how sharp Li Ronghuan’s tongue could be. If it really spread outside, how would it affect her reputation?

"Ronghuan, Jiayi is still a child after all; as an elder, shouldn’t you be more lenient?"

Someone spoke up; Li Jinnian lightly curled his lips, it was none other than his father, Li Tianhao, the eldest son of the Li family.

Madam Li’s husband, Du Guoqiang also spoke, "Ronghuan, for my sake, please ask the old master and old madam to return to their original positions."

Du Guoqiang originally didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Du family, nor did he want Madam Li and Du Jiayi to get involved in the affairs of the Li family any longer, but the mother and daughter wouldn’t listen to advice, and he was tired of bothering with them.

Still, he couldn’t let it be said outside that his daughter from the Du family lacked character.

"Brother-in-law, you’re blaming me wrong here, I’m just teaching Jiayi. It has always been that the elders speak and the juniors listen—that’s all there is to it. Go out and inquire, which family’s juniors aren’t like that?" Li Ronghuan lifted his eyelids indifferently, withstanding everyone alone, effortlessly, "If you want to marry well, first, you must behave correctly."

Regarding Du Jiayi’s deeds, Li Ronghuan had inquired about everything, letting Du Guoqiang know in a single sentence that the other party knew of his daughter’s disgraceful acts!

"My mother is also your elder, you don’t respect my mother, what right do you have to educate my daughter." Finally, Madam Li found a point to counterattack Li Ronghuan, "You can’t even conduct yourself properly, and you have the nerve to talk about my daughter! Nonsense!"
