Chapter 354 Dowry
Li Feng glared at the child viciously.

Old man Li frowned. When did this kid become so vicious? "Why did you go to the baby's room when no one was around?" Mr. Li's tone became more severe, as if he was interrogating a criminal, "Did you open the doors and windows on purpose to make Xiaolei catch a cold?!"

"Just admit it, Xiaofeng," some elders pretended to persuade, "We all know that you are jealous of Xiaolei. You say you are really, isn't it because we give Xiaolei more gifts? He is younger than you. So many, it’s your brother, you should let him go, what are you fussing about with your brother? Don’t make your grandpa angry, admit your mistake, and promise not to do it again next time.”

"That's right," many people echoed, "Let Xiao Lei catch a cold on purpose, this child, why is his mind so poisonous at such a young age? I said Jennifer," someone turned to look at Li Lei's biological mother, and said nicely, " You have to discipline this child well, his mother is not as noble and educated as you, his mother... oh,..."

What else do they want to say.

Li Feng had already raised his head, still with the fierce and sinister eyes of a wounded wolf cub, he interrupted the other party loudly: "Not only do I want to harm him! I also want to kill him! Isn't it just a pair of little beasts of a boy and a boy? What qualifications does he have to be my younger brother!"

"Evil!" This time, even Old Man Li was so angry, "Come here! Bring the family law!"

On that day, Li Feng was beaten by thirty family methods, and he was beaten to a bloody mess, but he didn't say a word.

He was punished by the old man to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Jennifer secretly brought medicine and meals to see him.She didn't know how to face the child left by her ex-wife. It seemed that this child had a big prejudice against her.She carefully put the food next to him: "from now on, don't hurt Xiaolei again. You don't have to be jealous of him, I'm your mother too."

Li Feng spit on her face, looked at her stunned and injured appearance, and suddenly laughed wildly: "Mom...Mom?! Slut, my mother died a long time ago, and you killed her! Hahahahahaha ..."

If it was really mother, why didn't he listen to even one complaint?
Why didn't you ask him if the person who didn't close the door and window was really him?
No... no one asked him!
In the entire Li family, no one cares about him!Well, he doesn't care about everyone!

Don't they all feel sorry for Li Lei, don't they all say that he murdered Li Lei?Li Feng, he is not the kind of person who swallows his anger after being wronged!Then, he murdered for them to see!

Afterwards, countless murders, large and small, made it hard to guard against.

At the beginning, Li Zheng and old man Li beat and scolded him and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall, but then he almost became numb.

Little Li Lei grows up day by day, he can run and jump, it is strange to say, this child seems to be born stupid, and he is not at all defensive when he sees people, he is the only one who will grin at Li Feng, like Like the time when he was almost strangled to death when he was a baby, no matter what Li Feng did to him, he would softly call "brother", "brother", flashing a pair of big watery eyes, Let Li Feng play with his own toys.

……

Li Lei hugged Xia Ling, his voice was low and slow: "My mother told me that my brother had a bad temper because his mother died when he was young. He said that he is a good brother and told me to treat him well."

Xia Ling put her arms around his neck: "Yeah." She couldn't imagine such a bad childhood life, even if she lived a very hard life when she was a child, she was just poor, not like him, who faced all kinds of dangers all the time.

Sensing that he was a little depressed, she didn't move around restlessly and act cute as usual, but just hugged him quietly, as if to give him comfort and strength.

Li Lei was quiet for a while, and then continued: "My mother is very good to me, but my brother doesn't like her."

Whenever Jennifer and little Li Lei played and laughed together, Li Feng's eyes would become gloomy.Even he himself couldn't tell what that feeling was, was it jealousy that Li Lei took away the mother's love that should belong to him?Or are you jealous that Jennifer can also have Li Lei's bright and clear smile like the sun?

He just wanted to rip them both apart.

Later, Jennifer became pregnant again.

The reaction during pregnancy is very severe, vomiting, weight loss, lethargy...

She no longer had the energy to take care of Li Lei, Li Lei, who was only three years old, lost his mother's company, and often showed a very lonely expression.Even when Li Feng bullied him, his reaction became sluggish, not as interesting as usual.

Li Feng was very unhappy.

Then, one evening in the summer of that year, Jennifer, who was nine months pregnant, fell into the pool in the back garden.When someone arrived and rescued her ashore, her face was black and blue, and her lower body and body were already turning red, which was a sign of premature labor.Although the doctor tried his best to save him, he still died.

……

"Before she died, she kept looking at me, squirming her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something to me." Li Lei's voice was very soft, "But she didn't say anything after all, instead she turned away everyone, just Grandpa is left behind."

"What did she say to the old man?" Xia Ling asked softly.

"Grandpa said that my mother left a dowry for me. I was too young at the time, and she was worried that my father would remarry, so she entrusted the dowry to grandpa. Please grandpa give it to me when I grow up."

"Your mother is so kind to you." Xia Ling sighed, she didn't know what kind of person her mother was, did she treat herself with good intentions like Li Lei's mother?

Li Lei shook his head.

He always suspected that his mother might have said something else to his grandfather.

He suddenly asked Xia Ling: "If it was you, I mean if... the day you pass away, will you specifically tell your elders to give your son a dowry?"

"Me?" Xia Ling was taken aback, "No way? I didn't even have time to cry. Who remembers such a complicated thing, so maternal love is really great." She paused, then added, "But it's hard to say , I don’t have a child yet, I may think differently when I have a child, after all, many mothers will become great for their children.”

Li Lei smiled and stroked her long hair.

Xiao Ling is somewhat similar to his mother, they are both very simple people, if it is something that Xiao Ling can't think of, his mother might not be able to think of it either.Maybe, mother really said something else to grandpa, for example, was it really just a pure accident that she fell into the water?Or what's the inside story?
This problem has been bothering him all these years, but it has been so long that there is no trace left.

Perhaps, the mystery can only be solved when grandpa wants to talk about it one day.Or, there is no mystery at all, and the last words are indeed dowry—after all, these past events are what he learned from various sources, and he pieced together and reconstructed them, which may not be 100% the truth.The speculation based on this may not be accurate.
