Liu Da He went to the yamen today without a problem. The county magistrate allowed him to eat lunch before leaving, but he refused. He bought a catty of meat at the market and returned home earlier than usual. When he had just reached the village entrance, he had already heard the news.
Liu Da He is the Li Zheng of Xitang Village, regardless of prestige, status, that is what other people look up to. Although he was widowed, the three children were very capable. They didn't have any bad habits due to the lack of their mother's guidance. Although he was strict with the child, his heart was gentle. When he saw the group of people blocking his door and the unusual white color on his son's face, he thought these people were bullying his son.
"What are you doing?" Liu Da He's voice was somewhat loud and clear, and there was even a hint of anger in his voice. After shouting at everyone, he quickly called out "One De" and squeezed into the crowd.
When Liu Yide saw his father squeezing in front of him in a panic, he quickly shook his head, "Dad, I'm fine. It's Third Uncle Li. Third Uncle Li is really still alive. " He was afraid that his father would not believe him, so he repeated the words again.
Li Jun turned around and met Liu Da He's gaze. It was only then that Liu Da He saw Li Jun.
"San-er, you …"
Liu Da He's voice was choked with sobs. Everyone thought that he was just as shocked as they were. However, they didn't know that the last time he was certain that Li Jun was still alive, who told him to "come back" in the forest? However, there must have been a reason behind the incident, so Li Jun left again.
Li Jun leaving could be considered a good thing from his private point of view. In that case, he would have more opportunities to get close to Wen Xiu. His heart for Wenxiu was real. He really wanted to live with her. As long as he married Wenxiu, other people would not mention the rumours outside because of his righteous identity. After a long time, he would completely forget about it.
"Big Brother Liu!"
Li Jun's attitude towards Old Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang was very cold, but his voice was gentle as he greeted Liu Da He.
Liu Da He's heart was in a state of panic, and it did not feel good at all. However, as the leader of the village, he had to hold on to his pride. He revealed a smile that was uglier than a cry and nodded in response.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Liu Yide was ignorant of the love between a man and a woman, but he had long since become sensible. Seeing his father's expression, he knew that his father must be feeling terrible because Third Uncle Li had returned, so he interrupted, "Father, you're finally back. Aunt Li has been howling at our doorstep all morning, saying it's for you to make the decision."
Liu Da He had long since heard the crying, but he was too worried about his son, so he didn't care about Lady Zhou. He was currently lost in thought. When he lifted his head, he saw the sobbing Madame Zhou, as well as Old Lady Li and Lady Wang, who were both standing next to her and had some tricks up their sleeves. When he saw the three of them, he couldn't help but frown. "What decision?"
Although Madame Zhou was crying very hard, she had always paid attention to the movements of Liu Da He and the others. Upon hearing Liu Da He's question, she quickly got up from the ground, wiped her tears and snot, and shouted, "Li Zheng, Wen Xiu wants to kill me and my mother. With the shining kitchen knife, I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night. Rizheng, you have to stand up for our wife and send Wenxiu, this little slut, to the officials for investigation! "You have to help us …"
When Liu Da He heard Madame Zhou's words, one head and two heads, all the women from the Lee family had gathered at his house for the sake of his family matters? They were always so noisy, yet they were also so idle that they were flustered!
When Wen Xiu heard this, she was slightly surprised for a moment, but she quickly understood.
She finally understood why Old Lady Li and Lady Wang came to her door this morning. So that was the case. However, it was a pity that his calculations were not as good as his plans. The two plans did not fit together, and it was instead a joke.
"Li Zheng, I have something to ask of you as well. Second sister is here, why don't we go together?"
Mrs Zhou, who was provoked by Wenxiu, immediately went on a rampage and told her what Wenxiu did last night in an exaggerated fashion. Anyway, with so many people around, she was not afraid. No matter how fierce Wenxiu was, she could not be beaten up like this, could she not?
When everyone heard Lady Zhou's words, they hesitated for a moment. They didn't know whether to believe her or not. After all, she had a past record. She had just gone to the scholar's house to steal from it a few days ago. However, what she said sounded plausible, but it also seemed to be true. Some people believed her words, but some people also felt that it was unfair for Wenxiu, so they started to discuss among themselves.
When Li Jun heard Madame Zhou spouting nonsense, he immediately wanted to flare up. If a tiger didn't send a cat, he really would think he was a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch. However, he was stopped by Wen Xiu.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Wenxiu was not annoyed. Who told her to actually make a move last night? However, she wasn't afraid, and said with a raised voice, "A few days ago, the Li family declared that it had broken off all relations with the three of us. Presumably, many people have heard of it, and it's even more so the witness to this matter. For this, he even specially wrote three contracts, making me and the Li family members press their hands on them. "This one is here …" She took out a piece of paper from her bosom and said, "I think Li Zheng is also at home. Black and white. I have nothing to do with the Li Family anymore, why would I tolerate them entering the house in the dark? After entering the house, we ate our dinner cleanly without saying anything. The children were crying out in hunger. If it was you guys, what would you do? "I was just pushed to the point of scaring them with a knife, how could I have known that Second Sister-in-Law would cry all morning?"
"The child has never had a father by his side since childhood. Not only did the elder's milk not hurt, he even wished for the three of us to starve to death. It wasn't easy for him to find a way to earn a living, but he was once again targeted. What did the three of us owe the Li family? If they wanted to break off their relationship, then so be it. If they wanted to snatch anything, then take anything, if they wanted to do it, then do it? Why? Everyone, let's judge, why is it like this? "
As Wenxiu spoke, her voice became more choked with sobs and tears began to fall. Her teary, teary look made Liu Da He's heart break. Why was the lives of the women he liked so bitter?
Although Li Jun noticed the smile on Wen Xiu's face, he felt uncomfortable listening to her talk. So it turned out that during the few years he'd been missing, his wife and children had actually suffered so much.
Everyone saw Wenxiu crying and spoke sincerely, especially when it came to children. Which family's child was not their parents' flesh and blood? Old Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou were fighting over food with their children, yet they still had the face to come out and make a ruckus. How embarrassing. Not to mention scaring them with a knife, even if he did, it would still be well-deserved.
When Old Lady Li and the other two wives saw that the villagers were acting as fence-sitters, they became angry and gritted their teeth before jumping up and down on the spot. Pointing at Wenxiu, he yelled, "You little whore, you have to turn black into white. Luckily, your second sister-in-law was quick to dodge, otherwise, she would have been cut to death by you …" To break off their relationship, hmph, you still want to break off your relationship with this old lady? You don't even have a chance to break off your relationship with a lowly trash that you bought! "
