Song Xiaoyue was so scared that her face turned white when she saw the murderous aura coming from Wenxiu. He quickly went into the living room to put down his things, then sent the two children back to the living room. After giving them a few more words of advice, he then chased after Wenxiu. However, after leaving the courtyard, she was a bit worried. She turned around and took the two children with her to the Li family.
When Wen Xiu was rushing over to the Li family to settle the score with the Zhou family, she encountered Old Lady Li grabbing onto Li Lu along the way. At the side, Mrs. Zhou and Liu Da He were carrying her family's stolen flour and rice. It seemed like they were heading towards her house.
Heh, is he going to play the part of exterminating his parents?
The two groups of people saw each other and stopped at the same time.
Old Lady Li glanced at the sabre in Wen Xiu's hand. She cursed at the woman without a wife in her heart and said with a smile, "Wen Xiu, I'm here to take your second brother and second wife to apologize to you. Return your things as well." This place is not far from your house, why don't we go back and talk? "
Wenxiu did not care about what Old Lady Li was up to and did not try to figure out why she was doing this. She waved the kitchen knife in her hand and pointed it at Li Lu as she said in a sinister voice, "When you enter the room to rob my things, are you going to chop off the evil hand yourself, or am I going to do it on your behalf?"
"Xiu Xiu!"
Liu Da He was planning to discuss this matter with the Li family members at Wen Xiu's house. Along the way, he met Wen Xiu, and seeing her in such a ferocious and frightening state, he was overwhelmed with shock. He quickly called out to her, afraid that she would cause a big mess if she acted impulsively.
However, Wen Xiu didn't care about Liu Da He. She continued to stare at Li Lu with a cold expression, as if two sharp blades could directly chop off Li Lu's hands. "I ask again, do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?"
Li Lu was a coward. Normally, when he stole chickens and dogs, he would bully the elderly, weak, women, and children in the village. He was absolutely sure that they wouldn't dare to do anything to him, so he was unscrupulous. It was just like how he had smashed Wen Xiu's family in broad daylight, robbed their grain, and brazenly went back home to show off to Old Lady Li.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhang heard the news of the couple carrying so much food and specifically ran to Liu Da He to invite him back, forcing him to return the favor and apologize, Li Lu would still be laughing at home!
Now, when he saw the shining kitchen knife in Wenxiu's hand, he was once again frightened by her. His legs immediately went limp as he waved his hands with a pale face and said while trembling, "No …" Not Me... It's my damned wife, right... It's her, she's the one who instigated me to steal your family's food. "
When Madame Zhou saw that Li Lu did not care about their relationship and directly sold her out, she immediately jumped up and retorted, "You're lying!" Then, he blocked the kitchen knife in Wen Xiu's hand and pointed the spearhead at Li Lu. "Wen Xiu, listen to me. It was all your second brother who was jealous of you making money. That's why he dragged me along. I... I did not do it voluntarily! "
Madam Zhou had been forced by Li Lu to rob Wen Xiu's house. She wouldn't believe it even if word of it got out. Liu Da He looked at Li Lu and his wife reprimanding each other, and his brows creased even more.
Old Madame Li was even more infuriated, wishing that she could slap Madame Zhou twice in the face. Although Li Lu was disappointing, he was still his son. She was protective of her son, so she wasn't willing to have Madame Zhou frame her son. Before Wenxiu even opened her mouth, she shouted at the Zhou family, "Why does my Old Li family have a daughter-in-law like you? Second brother is just a soft ear. If it wasn't for you instigating him, would he be able to do such a thing? "You are so shameless. Today, I will have my second brother divorce you and tell you to scram back to your home."
Madame Zhou was most afraid of Old Madame Li letting Li divorce her. If she were to be returned to her family and her sister-in-law didn't like her, wouldn't that be forcing her to die? Furthermore, she still had Goudan, her son!
"Mother, I'm not spouting nonsense. Mother, don't let Brother Lu divorce me. Mother …"
When Li Lu heard that his own mother was supporting him, he immediately became a bit more confident. He pointed at Madame Zhou and cursed, then imitated Old Lady Li and shouted, "That's right, your elder will divorce you as a shrew today, so as to not embarrass your elder. It was you who instigated me to make a mistake, it was all your fault! "
"Enough!" Wenxiu was frustrated by the biting of dogs by these people. After an angry bellow, she waved the kitchen knife in her hand, "You have to return the things that you stole from me. You also have to pay for the food that you have wasted." Let's talk about reporting to the authorities when we're done with these things. If you make any more noise, I'll cut your tongues off! "
"Woo woo …" "Yes, yes, yes …"
Wenxiu's trick was so effective that Li Lu and Madame Zhou immediately shut their mouths.
When Old Lady Li heard that the scholar was going to report the matter to the official, her heart suddenly turned cold. If Wen Xiu insisted on reporting him as a witness, and if Liu Da He heard the whole story from Li Lu himself, would he be able to get back after the couple had entered the yamen? Of course the answer was no!
Not to mention the authenticity and severity of the matter, Liu Da He's attitude towards Wen Xiu was different. Furthermore, he was on good terms with the yamen, so if he were to use his mouth, wouldn't that increase Second Brother's and Madame Zhou's crimes? At that time, forget about going to the prison to eat, if he was convicted of "burglary, attempted murder", then that would be the death of both of them!
Thinking of this, Old Madame Li scolded Wen Xiu in her heart. She scolded Wen Xiu over and over again for nothing more than a little whore, a black-hearted woman, and words without a conscience. Wenxiu, this person who had killed a thousand men, was shouting for the officials to report him. She was trying to make her precious grandson parentless!
"Wenxiu, I specifically made the two of them come to apologize to you and return your things back. I'll also apologize on their behalf. "Don't bother reporting to the officials, Goudan is still young. What if he lost his parents?"
Old Madam Li's words sounded like an apology, but if you listened carefully, how could they be an apology? Clearly, she was accusing Wenxiu of having no conscience and not knowing how to feel for that nephew of his, Lee Gou Dan. Seeing how his nephew was indifferent without any parents, she was a cold-blooded and heartless person.
When Wenxiu heard this, she laughed!
Liu Da He actually felt that with this matter, as long as he taught Li Lu and Madame Zhou a lesson, it would be fine. He wanted them to restrain themselves in the future so that they wouldn't cause such a ruckus. Old Lady Li also gave in, and he chimed in from the side, "Wenxiu, your mother-in-law is right. Although you two have broken off your relationship, the tree and the Tong Tong are also of the Li Clan. This relationship will naturally not be clean. Goudan and Tree were cousins, and if the second brother and wife were to go to jail, what could he do at such a young age?
Besides, the old couple had also returned the goods. As they were the first culprits, they were momentarily blinded by jealousy. They were glad that they didn't end up in a disaster, so they let this matter drop. "In the future, don't let the two of them get so confused again."
After Liu Da He said this, the Li family thought this matter was over. The three of them nodded and kept thanking Liu Da He, completely forgetting about the victim, Wen Xiu.
