When talking about ancient buildings, Wang Mantang immediately forgot everything else.

He stared at Li Xuewu intently: "Who told you that?"

"You don't know yet? Many people have submitted proposals to the red walls, saying that the ancient buildings are national historical and cultural heritage and need to be protected. I guess instructions will come down at work soon!" Li Xuewu replied.

"Really? That's great. I felt sad when those old buildings were demolished in the past few years, especially when the Deshengmen Arrow Tower was demolished two years ago. It was such a waste of our ancestors' good things!" Wang Mantang's face was full of regret.

"Yes, it's a pity to demolish it. It will definitely not be demolished in the future. During this period, my travel company has done a lot of research with the cultural and educational departments. There are still many old buildings in the country that need to be repaired. Soon it will be time for you to show your skills!"

Hearing this, Wang Mantang smiled and said, "I hope this day will come sooner, so that I can do more while I can still move." Then he began to talk incessantly about the characteristics of ancient buildings in various places and the methods of repairing them.

Although Li Xuewu didn't understand, he still listened carefully.

As they were chatting, Mendun brought Lingzi in from the gate. Lingzi held his arm and jumped up and down, both of them with happy smiles on their faces.

When he saw the two people, Wang Mantang's face fell again. When Plane saw this, he stood up and went into the inner room.

"Mom and Dad! I brought Lingzi to see you!" As soon as Mendun entered the door, he took Lingzi and walked to the old couple.

Lingzi was also very sensible. She bowed to Wang Mantang and Sun Danniu and said, "Uncle and aunt, I wish you a happy new year!"

"Hey, Happy New Year, Lingzi, come here, come to auntie! Ignore that old stubborn man!" Sun Danniu was very enthusiastic towards Lingzi. After all, she was the daughter-in-law chosen by her eldest son, and she liked her no matter how she looked at her.

"Auntie, you are in good health, right?" Lingzi walked over and held Sun Danniu's hand.

"I'm fine. I eat well and sleep well. Look, you're wearing so little, aren't you cold?" Feeling the warmth in Lingzi's hand, Sun Danniu pinched her thin coat.

"It's okay, it's not cold!"

The mother and daughter were chatting here. Mendun approached Wang Mantang and tried to please him, but was rejected by the old man. With a bored look on his face, Mendun could only step back and walk into the house.

When he entered the house, several people in the main room became worried. They all stared at the door of the inner room, fearing that the two would fight again inside.

Wang Mantang sighed: "Lingzi, why do you like doorposts? Isn't a small plane good enough?"

Lingzi was stunned at first. Why are they talking about this again? Isn't Mendun your son? But she still said, "Uncle, Plane is very good to me, but I don't like him. Maybe you think Mendun has no future, but I think he is down-to-earth and caring. I feel comfortable with him, so I want to be your daughter-in-law, not your granddaughter-in-law!"

Since the girl said so, Wang Mantang had no choice but to shut up and not say anything. But Sun Danniu was very happy: "I have always said that our Mendun is a good boy, but your uncle always dislikes him. It seems that we have the same vision!"

Before he could finish his words, Planer's roar came from the inner room: "Get out! I don't need your pity!"

Wang Mantang heard the voice and stood up to go into the house, but was stopped by Li Xuewu: "Old man, please don't go over there. Let them solve their own problems. If you interfere, it will only make things worse!"

"We can't let them really fight during the New Year!"

Sun Danniu also looked towards the inner room with concern.

"Then let me go in and take a look! Lingzi, help the old couple take a walk in the yard." After Li Xuewu gave the order, he stood up and walked towards the inner room.

When he reached the door, Li Xuewu lifted the door curtain and walked in. Mendun and Planer stood face to face like fighting cocks.

"You obviously know that I like Lingzi, so why are you still competing with me? Do you think you are an uncle like this?" Planer was still shouting.

Mendun retorted: "We talked about fair competition at the time. Lingzi chose me, so why can't you afford to lose?"

"What a bullshit fair competition! She and I were about to get it done, so why did she choose you? It must be you, a bastard, who was behind my back, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this. Mendun'er, from today on, we're done for. I don't know you, and you don't have to say you know me!"

Planer was still shouting, and Mendun's face was already red from holding it in. Li Xuewu took two steps forward and kicked Planer in the stomach, sending him flying and hitting the table behind him.

Then he walked over, grabbed Planer by the collar, pulled him up, and then slapped him left and right on the face.

"I'm telling you to keep your mouth shut. Who did you call a bastard? Do you have any respect for seniority? Who is Mendun to you? If you call him a bastard, then who are your grandparents? Who are your parents? Can you sever this relationship just like that? I'm telling you to keep your mouth shut!" Li Xuewu said while slapping someone in the face.

The planer was hit so hard that he screamed in agony.

The screams spread throughout the courtyard. When Wang Mantang heard Planer's screams, he was about to run into the house, but was stopped by Wang Guozhu. At the same time, he called out to his wife Zhu Huifen who was about to go in to check: "Don't go in, let Xuewu beat him up. This kid is getting more and more unruly. It's all because of you. If I couldn't beat him now, I would have wanted to beat him up a long time ago!"

With Wang Guozhu blocking the way, the few people could only listen to the screams of the planer in the yard.

In the room, Li Xuewu slapped the plane several more times before loosening his grip on the plane's collar. He stood up and turned to face the doorpost: "Are you dumb or paralyzed?"

“Brother-in-law, I…!”

"Don't be so mean. You two are almost the same age, but you are his uncle. You should give in when you should, and take care when you should. Can't you take care of him when you should? If you keep going like this, sooner or later he will end up hurting himself!..."

Mendun was scolded by Li Xuewu so hard that he couldn't even raise his head. At this time, Planer stood up from behind Li Xuewu with red eyes and punched Li Xuewu on the back of the head, shouting: "Who do you think you are? Why do you come to meddle in my business!"

Li Xuewu tilted his head to the side to avoid the fist, reached out to grab his arm, then used force from his waist to give the planer a big back-slam and threw it heavily to the ground.

"Oh, shit! Who am I? Today I'll let you see what I am. I'm really giving you face. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll be fooling yourself!" Li Xuewu walked forward and started punching the planer hard. This time he really used all his strength, mainly because he was angry.

Soon the plane could only lie on the ground groaning. At this time, Wang Guoying ran in and grabbed Li Xuewu who was still slapping him: "Xuewu, stop hitting me. If you keep hitting me, I'll break it!"

Li Xuewu stopped and said, "Mendun, put him on the bed and give him some medicine." Then he turned to Wang Guoying and said, "Let the family come in. I have something to say."
