"I just returned to check on things, Granduncle Li Zheng. Please pass these things to my parents but don't tell them I gave them to you," Li Shi said, "My mother birthed me and raised me alongside my father, so I should give them these things."
Li Zheng was shocked when he heard Li Shi's words and saw the things he was holding. They were good things that were not cheap. He quickly pulled Li Shi back and said, "Don't leave yet, Li Shi. You can blame your parents, especially since they have a reason for what they did."
Li Zheng was also thinking about the villages.
'Li Shi's parents and siblings were terrible to him, but only Li Shi turned out fine. I thought Li Shi was dead, but there's hope for his parents now that I know he's alive. I must untie the knot in this child's heart.'
Li Shi stopped in his tracks. "What reason could there possibly be for my parents to beat me and treat me so poorly, Granduncle Li Zheng?"
