Li Xiang originally just pretended to sleep, but because he was so comfortable in his own arms, he fell asleep before long.

  So when Li Hua gazed at her intently, she was completely unaware of it, but this didn't affect Li Hua's affection for her.

  "Dad, if I hadn't been around all these years, I'm afraid you wouldn't have made it this far."

  He talked about Li Xiang's maturity and stability at a young age, which surprised Li Sanzhu.

  Li Hua hesitated again and again, but still expressed his concerns.

  "Dad, don't blame me for being selfish. I only have this one daughter, and in the future, you might be relying on her too. So, I hope she can go to school someday."

  Li Sanzhu was taken aback at first, but later realized that his daughter's words had a deeper meaning behind them.

  After understanding, his expression was unnatural for a moment, but he quickly lifted up that face which, although over 40 years old, had already become prematurely aged and said straightforwardly.

  "Foolish child, what's selfish or not selfish, it's your father who has implicated you. Don't worry, from now on, I will keep a distance from you."

  Li Hua's eyes were red and swollen, her voice choked: "Dad, I'm sorry. Yesterday, I overheard your conversation with the Meng family, so I thought of this plan and turned to leave. But I missed you too much, I thought about it all night yesterday, and early this morning, I brought my daughter to find you. You are my dad, I care about you very much,"

  "Alright, child, I understand. You don't need to say any more. What you said is right. As long as my identity as a son-in-law is not resolved, your identities will be affected and become part of the Meng family's relatives, with some differences."

  "Father..." Li Sanzhu said. Here, Li Hua shook her head with tears in her eyes: "No, Father, you can't drag us down now."

  "My mother has already driven me out of the house, and my household registration has also been transferred. So now I have no relationship with the Li family at all. The only one I miss is you. But because of your current identity, in the future, it's possible that we won't be able to come and go as frequently as before. However, don't worry, a daughter will not neglect her filial piety towards you."

  Li Hua's words caused Li Sanzhu to freeze on the spot, his stiff mouth unable to make a sound for several times, and when he finally managed to speak, his voice was shaking violently.

  "Have you moved your household registration? From Li Sanzhu's household register, have you moved?"

  Li Hua burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Dad. Grandma hates us to the bone. These years, I've been living a hard life. Although we sent our filial piety just like my uncles, Grandma never forgave us. She always thought it was me and my mom who killed you. On Qingcheng Mountain, she even kicked me down the mountain. Dad, I have no choice. If I stay any longer, I'll be driven to death by Grandma. My child is so young, following me, for the sake of filial piety to Grandma, we haven't had a full meal in years. As a mother, my heart hurts too..."

  Watching his daughter cry uncontrollably in front of him, Li Sanzhu's heart ached and throbbed nonstop. His daughter hadn't spoken so clearly before, so he didn't know these details until now. Being accused like this, he couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied with his mother.

  Li Hua is his only daughter, the old lady doesn't know how to cherish and love her, how can she torture them like this?

  He sprang up and walked back with a gloomy face. Li Hua was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged Li Xiang and stood up.

  "Dad, you're back. You can't go. If you do, grandma will hate us even more. For now, the only solution is for you to leave the Meng family as soon as possible. Only if you leave the Meng family and start your own household will the impact on me and Xiang'er be reduced a bit."
