Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 151 Standing on the Moral High Ground

"Dinner's ready, Sui."

After Li Sui and Mu Lihua finished chatting, it was time for dinner.

Those who go to school don't come back; besides my maternal grandparents, only Li Cheng and Yang Ningyu, the couple, are at home.

"Ah Sui, we didn't know what you liked to eat, so we prepared a meal for you according to the local flavors of Xia City. Eat whatever you like."

Grandma Su Xiuyun greeted Li Sui with affection.

In the dining room, which is dedicated to eating, a large round table is filled with dishes in the style of Xiacheng.

That portion size is enough for five people, and even ten people might not be able to finish it.

Li Sui thought it was a bit of an exaggeration: "Grandma, I can eat anything."

It's just too wasteful.

Li Sui, who has always been frugal, has not yet experienced a decadent lifestyle. She only remembers that when Li Ping took her to the countryside for a spring outing, Li Sui ate half a steamed bun and then stopped eating.

Li Ping talked about how hard farmers work, how hard it was for our country to have the life we ​​have today, and how we shouldn't waste resources, etc.

It wasn't until Li Sui rolled her eyes that they realized she had choked from eating too fast.

Su Xiuyun scolded, "I asked your mother what you like to eat, and she said you can eat anything. What kind of mother is she? She doesn't even know what her own daughter likes to eat?"

Li Sui was taken aback for a moment: "But I really can eat anything."

She has her own taste in food, but she's not actually that picky.

She chooses her flavors based on the time of day.

Sometimes I crave sour foods, sometimes sweet foods, and sometimes even bitter foods...

The main theme is unpredictability.

These words made Su Xiuyun feel even more heartbroken.

That's because I never ate anything good growing up, so I'm not picky about anything and don't have any favorite foods.

Su Xiuyun immediately wiped away her tears: "My poor child! I don't know how much suffering you've endured following your mother..."

Li Sui: “…”

Why are you suddenly crying again?
Which sentence did she miss?

“Grandma, I know you feel sorry for me, but that’s all in the past.” Li Sui interrupted Su Xiuyun’s spellcasting: “Come, come, it’s time to eat, Grandma. I’m a little hungry.”

"Good good."

Su Xiuyun patted Li Sui's hand, and her maternal grandfather, Li Jiashan, smiled and asked, "Sui, how long do you plan to stay in Fucheng this time?"

"I'll do it in the next couple of days. I have some urgent business to attend to in Xiacheng."

Ah Meng has already come all this way, and I can't just ignore her. Children are the most vulnerable, and if I don't go back to see her, who knows what kind of wicked ideas this cunning girl might come up with.

But since everyone had agreed to have a good time on the trip, Li Sui figured he'd have to go back halfway through.

Let the others have fun on their own.

Li Jiashan was immediately displeased. He had finally come all this way and was leaving so soon: "Didn't your mother tell me you weren't working? How come you're still so busy?"

“Sure, the job is different, I’m a permanent employee now.” Li Sui blurted out, “There’s a lot to do.”

Everyone knows what it means to be included in the government staff.

The Li family members looked at each other in surprise, and Li Cheng and Yang Ningyu were also a little surprised.

When did you pass the exam to become a government employee?
Li Cheng asked with concern, "What kind of organization did you join? Let me see if there are any old friends I know there."

The implication is that they want to use their connections to help Li Sui.

Li Sui: "It's a secret, I can't say."

A single sentence could solve so many problems for her, and sure enough, her grandparents stopped asking questions.

Li Cheng and Yang Ningyu, on the other hand, were quite surprised.

I really can't imagine what kind of classified unit Li Sui could get into.

That's...not really obvious. Everyone enjoyed the meal, especially since Li Sui was the only junior member at the table.

Suddenly, Li Jiashan brought up the Wen family: "Ah Sui, how much do you know about the Wen family?"

Li Sui buried himself in his rice: "I don't know much about it."

Su Xiuyun nudged Li Jiashan, somewhat complaining, "Didn't the child say he didn't want to go back? Why bring it up now?"

Su Xiuyun definitely didn't want her daughter and granddaughter to have any further involvement with the Wen family.

She knew back then how much of a shock Li Ping had suffered.

Li Jiashan's ideas are still a bit different; he also fought his way up in the business world.

I've always believed that what I deserve, I should strive for.

We can't just say we don't want it.

Li Jiashan said slowly, "Whether you acknowledge the Wen family or not has nothing to do with our Li family. Your grandfather won't have any thoughts about it. He just feels that you should be in charge of your own life. You don't need to worry about how your parents' generation will affect you."

Li Sui suddenly raised his head: "It has an impact, of course it has an impact."

She said with great distress, "In Xiacheng, I'm quite a well-known figure in our community. I usually stand on moral high ground and give a few pointers when I see my neighbors having some moral issues. But if people find out that I have a father who cheats on me and has been married three times, where will I put my face? How can I face people in the community in the future?"

"How can I have the audacity to criticize others with a clear conscience!"

The elderly couple from the Li family: "..."

Li Cheng and Yang Ningyu: "..."

This was the first time they had truly experienced how beautiful Li Sui's mental state was.

They had considered the reasons why Li Sui would not acknowledge the Wen family, but they never expected it to be this reason.

This led to a silence at the dinner table that lasted for several minutes.

Finally, Li Jiashan waved his hand and said, "Let's eat."

No one brought up the topic again, and it seems unlikely to be brought up again in the future.

That evening, Li Sui was given a room to rest in.

Li Cheng and Yang Ningyu also went back to their rooms to rest. Yang Ningyu was quite shocked by what Li Sui said at the dinner table: "Is that really what your niece thinks?"

"How would I know?" Li Cheng was also confused about Li Sui: "But Li Ping is my sister, so I know her well. She was able to hold her tongue and not come back for more than 20 years. If this child is even a little bit like her, she definitely won't acknowledge him if she says she won't."

Li Cheng was still satisfied with Li Sui: "My niece is quite resilient."

Yang Ningyu sighed, "The Wen family is so powerful and wealthy. If she goes back, at least a portion of it will belong to her. She can just give it up like that... I used to think she was your sister..."

It might be a little embarrassing to admit, but she actually thought Li Ping was being pretentious.

Yang Ningyu thought of what happened back then.

At that time, she had not yet officially married into the Li family, but the marriage had already been arranged.

The divorce between Li Ping and Wen Haotian was a very messy and public affair. At that time, no one could understand why Li Ping would leave so resolutely.

Even someone like Yang Ningyu, who grew up in a similarly privileged environment, couldn't understand Li Ping's thoughts.

Looking back now, it was just that Li Ping had her own principles.

She has her own bottom line.

Such a bottom line is something that many people in this environment do not have.

Yang Ningyu himself had thought about what would happen if he and Li Cheng fell out one day.
I'm afraid they'll continue to live together with outward appearances but inner discord.

After all, they've been married for so many years, and their interests are no longer clearly divided.

This mother and daughter...

Yang Ningyu thought of the carefree attitude of the mother and daughter.

Sometimes I just suddenly feel that way.

Is living like that not so bad?
