Chapter 173 Food Box Incident

Li Zhengde came into the school early in the morning carrying a lunch box. Others didn't mind, after all, there were many people in the courtyard with good family conditions, and it was not uncommon for them to not treat themselves badly with food. But Li Zhengxue felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. He stared at the mahogany lunch box with gold and colorful decorations and snorted coldly.

Sitting next to him was Li Zhengxue's good friend, Xue Li. Hearing the noise, he took a look at the red wood food box placed among the food boxes and said in surprise, "I originally thought he was from an ordinary family, but I didn't expect that I underestimated him. Apart from anything else, Brother Zhengxue, look at this food box. It's not a cheap thing. Most people can't afford it."

Although Li Zhengxue could not explain so much, he knew that this mahogany lunch box was definitely not a cheap item. He felt even more unhappy when he heard his good friend say this.

He had always known that Li Zhengde's family was living a good life thanks to Li Mingxia's exposure outside, but he had always been very disdainful. Anyone who heard such a shameful thing would look down on them. He was flattering them by talking to them with his status. You know, he was the best student in Qianniu Village! How could Li Zhengde and Li Zhengpin, who couldn't read a single word, be compared with him? As for Li Mingxia? It was needless to say, she was just a woman. What else could she do except using her face to make some money that would bring shame to her ancestors?

But now Li Zhengde and I are in the same academy! They are both in the intermediate class! How can he bear this? He originally wanted to teach Li Zhengde a few words with his status, so that he would know that even if he spent money to get in, he would still not be able to get in. This would also help him think clearly and give up. This was also his good intention as the eldest grandson of the Li family. However, he didn't expect that Li Zhengde was so ungrateful that he not only didn't thank him but also mentioned the hairpin again!

Li Zhengxue didn't think the hairpin was a big deal. Everything in the Li family belonged to him. Wasn't Li Mingxia a member of the Li family? It was just a hairpin. Seriously speaking, the money she earned was just a word from her grandparents. How dare he, Li Zhengde, show off to him? He really couldn't tell his own status!

"Li Zhengxue, Li Zhengde? Li Zhengxue... Li Zhengde?" Xue Li read these two names twice and stared at Li Zhengxue with wide eyes, "What is the relationship between you two? Why are you named like this?"

"Yes, yes..." When Xue Li said this, he finally remembered something and suddenly felt that everything made sense.

"You went to talk to him when he first came that day, right? You two know each other? Relatives? Your names? He and you have a special relationship." Xue Li's eyes were shining, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. He leaned his head out and moved closer to Li Zhengxue.

"I'm not saying anything bad, Brother Zhengxue, but you are so mean. Your relative is so rich, how can your family be poor? Why haven't you returned the two taels of silver you borrowed from me last year? This won't do. I originally thought you came from a poor family, so I didn't intend to take it. But now it seems that I'm the one who's suffering. You'd better give it to me as soon as possible, and don't let me tell anyone!" Xue Li was already a little unhappy as he spoke.

Naturally he didn't care about the two taels of silver, but he regarded Li Zhengxue as a friend, and he was actually hiding it from him. How could this be acceptable!

"I will definitely give it to you in the future. I don't have it now." Li Zhengxue gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

How could Xue Li believe it? He had already decided that Li Zhengxue was still deceiving him.

"Li Zhengxue, you are so mean. I treat you sincerely, but you treat me like a fool and play tricks on me? No wonder every time I want to go to your house, you refuse to do so. It turns out that you are afraid that I will find out that you are a rich young man? What? Are you afraid that I will borrow money from you?"

The more Xue Li thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he looked at Li Zhengxue, the angrier he became. Now he was too lazy to even say a word to him.

"I'm telling you, if you don't give me the money, I'll go ask your relative for it right now. A mahogany food box costs more than twenty taels of silver, and you're trying to cheat me out of two taels of silver?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't even wait for Li Zhengxue to answer and wanted to go straight to Li Zhengde to ask for money. As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Li Zhengxue.

"Stop right there. You treat me as your friend, but don't I treat you as my friend? Sit down and I'll explain it to you clearly!" Li Zhengxue knew that he would not be able to fool Xue Li if he didn't tell the truth now, so he could only harden his heart and say everything he couldn't say before.

"What do you mean?" Xue Li felt it was ridiculous the more he listened. "You mean, although he is your brother, he has already separated from the family and has nothing to do with you now? Then why is he so rich?"

Xue Li still couldn't accept this explanation. Splitting up a family was not a rare thing. It was common for a big tree to have branches. But those who went out of the family were so rich, so why would his own family be so much poorer?

"Tell me the truth quickly, or I'll go ask Li Zhengde myself!"

Li Zhengxue glanced at Li Zhengde, who was sitting upright and practicing calligraphy, and his teeth were almost broken.

He had been hiding this matter for such a long time, and except for Xue Li who knew a little bit, no one else was kept in the dark. Li Zhengde revealed it to Xue Li as soon as he arrived. How could the arrogant Li Zhengxue not be angry?

"It's because I have a good sister!" When Li Zhengxue said this, his eyes were full of disdain. He sneered and told the whole story of Li Mingxia.

Originally, I thought Xue Li would share the same hatred with me, but I didn't expect that the more I talked, the brighter Xue Li's eyes became, and his expression did not hide his interest at all.

"So according to what you said, Li Zhengde can go to school now, use such a good lunch box, and have much better food and clothing than you because of his sister? His sister runs a business to support the whole family?"

Li Zhengxue nodded, but he also heard that Xue Li's tone did not contain the disdain and sarcasm he had imagined.

"Xue Li, a woman who shows up in public like this is not the quiet and chaste woman described in the books of sages! This is a shameful thing. Why are you so calm? Don't you think that what she did is a disgrace to the family?" Li Zhengxue looked at Xue Li unhappily and said.
