"Alright, alright, hurry up and send the items back to Wenxiu. Then, sincerely apologize to Wenxiu and let this go. After all, you all are a family, and for such a thing to happen, it is truly a joke. " Liu Dahe didn't want Wenxiu to blow this up, so he wanted to be the peacemaker instead.
Although it could punish the Li Lu couple, it did not have a good reputation for being a scholar. Even if she wasn't willing to marry him, she would definitely remarry in the future, wouldn't she?
If this matter were to spread and Wenxiu did not show mercy and could not tolerate her brother and sister-in-law making mistakes, who would dare to marry her into the clan? After all, in these days, there were too few families that treated each other with brotherly respect. Most of the families, brother and sister-in-law were decent people. What could be better than to make such a ruckus and lose someone?
The men from the Lee family did not feel the slightest bit of gratitude towards Liu Da He. If he did not interfere and force himself to apologize to Wen Xiu, they would not have acknowledged it even if Wen Xiu had shouted at the very last moment. Without Liu Da He's testimony, the Wenxiu Newspaper's essence was reduced by half. Furthermore, with her opening mouth and so many Li Family mouths, even if she went and sued the old master, she would still not be able to win.
Liu Da He had interfered and caused so much trouble, yet the men from the Lee family had no choice but to thank him. As long as this matter was over, there was no need to stay in jail and lose your life. Sooner or later, Wen Xiu's possessions would belong to the Li family.
Old Matriarch Li had long planned things out in her heart, but unfortunately, these two useless things only gave her trouble. She had discussed the matter of marriage with Mistress Yang and had let Mistress Yang make a symbolic marriage. Initially, she was elated that the business of the potato flour would fall into her hands, but who knew that the moment she stepped into the house, she would see Li Lu shouting with rice and flour in the yard, and subsequently summoning Liu Da He.
"Li Zheng was right. A family doesn't speak two words, how could a brother and sister-in-law become enemies? "Ah, this isn't what the second brother and wife thought, but it definitely wasn't intentional. I know what the second brother's personality is …"
"Are you planning on lying with your eyes open?" Wenxiu could not bear to listen any longer. She interrupted Old Madam Li with a swishing sound, "If the people are doing it, the Heavens are watching. When you are lying, you must think of the heaven above you!"
"You … "I …"
Old Mrs Li, who was poked in the heart, also believed in the saying of 'retribution'. Having her mouth stuffed with words from Wenxiu, she did not continue making up the rest of the nonsense.
Wenxiu gave a cold laugh. She would settle the debts of the men from the Li family later. She wanted to talk to Liu Da He first, what kind of bullsh * t family. If they were a family, and their relationship could not be broken, what was the use of keeping the contract?
"Li Zheng, the matter of me breaking off my relationship with the Li Family is a witness you made. What? It's useless now? "
Liu Da He's heart skipped a beat and he remembered what he said before. He quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, I mean, you two were once brother and sister-in-law anyways. This relationship is very …"
Wenxiu refused to forgive him. "Just tell me if there's any use in getting that contract?"
Liu Da He could not answer immediately. If it was useful, then he had to follow the normal procedure and report what he had done to the yamen regarding the crimes committed by the Li family members. What should he do? But if he wanted to suppress this matter and say that the contract was useless, then he would be going back on his word. Who would believe him in the future? Most importantly, the person waiting for him to be fair was Wen Xiu. He had liked girls for many years.
When Wen Xiu saw the troubled look on Liu Da He's face, she did not want to waste any more time with him. After all, Liu Da He was once a follower of the original three. What's more, he was a righteous villager in Xitang Village, and he had a lot of face. If she did not spare him and allowed him to ruin her reputation, wouldn't she be returning the favor with the enemy?
Wenxiu did not understand Liu Dahe's thoughts, but she did not call him a bad guy. She simply ignored them and turned back to continue talking to Li Lu and Madame Zhou.
Wenxiu was not a person who pestered and pestered people, nor was she someone who refused to forgive them. However, today, she was so angry that she was panicking and felt a fierce rage in her heart. If Li Lu and Madame Zhou didn't pay for the spoils today, apologize to the treetops, and then repair the damaged parts of their homes, this matter would never end.
Song Xiaoyue arrived with Tree and Tong. When she saw the embarrassed faces of Li Lu and Madame Zhou, she looked at Old Lady Li and Liu Da He and seemed to suddenly understand something. She opened her mouth and could only weakly call out "Lady Xiu". To be honest, she was worried that Wenxiu would suffer, but she was more afraid that she would do something she could not regret in the future when she got excited.
"I'm fine. I haven't even been born yet for bullying my girl!"
Wenxiu was extremely generous, but she was also threatening Old Madam Li's family: if they dared to bully her, Wenxiu, then they were in the wrong family!
"Wenxiu, this is our family's disgrace. Don't let others see our disgrace as a joke, right?" Old Madam Li originally wanted to scold him, but due to Liu Da He's presence, she could only endure it. Other than Song Xiaoyue, the rest of the villagers were already closing in on them.
Wenxiu agreed that this was an embarrassment, but she was not afraid of being seen by others. However, she was also standing in the way of Liu Da He. There were some moves that she really couldn't use.
"Indeed, there are some things that we cannot say in front of outsiders. Otherwise, if we are seen as a joke by others, we will lose our reputation." Wen Xiu nodded in agreement to Old Madam Li's words. Then, she turned to Liu Da He. "Righteousness. Our family's matters can be resolved by ourselves. I won't delay you any longer."
"I …"
Liu Da He was a bit unhappy. However, when he saw Wen Xiu's expression soften, he thought she had calmed down and nodded. "Alright, then you guys should discuss it properly. Don't let others see it as a joke."
"Of course!"
Not only Liu Da He, even Song Xiaoyue and Wen Xiu also sent him away. However, when Song Xiaoyue left, she was holding the hands of two children. For fear that something might affect the growth of her two children, Wen Xiu entrusted Song Xiaoyue to look after them.
Without waiting for the villagers to approach, Wenxiu called for Li Lu to carry the things back to her. Moreover, she took the initiative to 'invite' Old Lady Li and Madame Zhou back.
After Li Lu and Madame Zhou entered Wen Xiu's courtyard, they did not feel that they had overstepped their limits. Coupled with Liu Da He's departure, there were no bystanders around. Thus, their courage grew. Li Lu carelessly threw the flour in his hand onto the ground and said with a face full of malicious intent, "Little slut, are you feeling lonely? If you are lonely, come and coax laozi, laozi will keep you safe and sound … "Ouch …"
Before Li Lu could finish his words, he felt a heavy kick on his crotch. Subconsciously, he closed his leg and pouted into a ball.
When Madame Zhou heard that Li Lu was making fun of Wen Xiu, she was furious. However, when she saw Wen Xiu move her feet, she did not feel any heartache. Instead, she felt a wave of satisfaction in her heart: Serves her right!
