Li Jun had let Wenxiu witness his hidden evil. He did not say much, but he was definitely not someone who could be easily bullied. Perhaps before this, he still had a certain amount of gratitude towards everyone in the Li family, but what his mother did this morning completely severed all of his affection for the Li family.
Li Jun had left with Wen Xiu, but Liu Da He was still awkwardly standing in the Li family's courtyard. He could neither leave nor stay. Noon had arrived, and the men from the Lee family had been making a ruckus for the whole morning. The kitchen was still cold, and the meal was gone. However, if he had to leave, he would have to wait for the silver Wen Xiu had helped him to get.
When Li Fu and Li Lu saw that Liu Da He had not left, the two brothers were stunned for a moment. After looking at each other, Li Fu looked at Liu Da He and asked, "Li Zheng, is there anything else?"
Liu Da He looked a bit embarrassed, should he say this or not?
Mrs Wang knew very well, she saw that Liu Da He was too embarrassed to speak, smiling darkly in her heart, Liu Da He was a righteous man, his face was big, and it was hard for him to speak! It would be best if he could not speak of it for the rest of his life, and then he would not be able to return the two taels of silver.
Lady Wang was thinking quite happily, but Madame Zhou was a big mouth. Seeing that no one responded to Li Fu, she replied without thinking, "Li Zheng gave mother two taels of silver when he asked Father to hold down the fingerprint. Now that Mother is no longer related to Wen Xiu, this money must be returned to Li Fu."
What?
Hearing this, Li Fu couldn't help but frown. When did this happen? Why didn't he know?
Liu Da He delivered the contract that day and Li Fu was at home. He saw with his own eyes the handprint his father pressed, but he did not see his mother receiving the correct amount of silver. When did he give money to his mother?
Li Fu followed Old Man Li and Old Lady Li from start to finish. He didn't see it, and neither did Lady Wang, who was always following by his side. The couple didn't know when Old Lady Li had received the silver, but where were the two taels of silver?
Although née Wang already knew about the two taels of silver, she was still confused. Now that Madame Zhou had mentioned it, her heart was stifling. However, compared to when the two taels of silver were given to the old woman, she wanted to kill the Zhou family's big mouth.
Liu Da He smiled embarrassedly and nodded, indicating that he was indeed waiting for the Li family to return his two taels of silver.
LiFu's face was gloomy. He looked at Lady Wang and saw that Lady Wang was also shaking her head at him. His face was also at a loss. He then retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Da He. Liu Da He was righteous and definitely had no reason to coax them with silver, so even if they did not know what happened, they still admitted that these two silver taels existed, "Li Zheng, my mother is sick right now, can you please go back first? When my mother wakes up, I'll ask her to give me the silver taels. "Sorry for neglecting you …"
When Liu Da He heard Li Fu say this, he immediately found his way to the foot of the stairs. He did not expect to be able to take back the money. Moreover, he had his own selfish motives and did not want to take the silver back.
"Alright, then take good care of your mother. I'll go back first!"
"Hey, take care!"
LiFu said as he respectfully sent Liu Da He out the door.
After Liu Da He left, only Li Fu and his wife and Li Lu were left in the courtyard. There were no outsiders around them either. Now, they could say whatever they wanted to say!
Li Fu no longer had his usual reserved and honest appearance. He glanced at the other three with a cold gaze, and asked with a serious and cold voice, "Mother, what happened after you received the two taels of silver?"
Madame Wang and Madame Zhou didn't know this, but their sister-in-law and sister-in-law both shook their heads. Li Fu's appearance was truly terrifying. Even though they were usually fierce, they were still women. When the two of them saw Li Fu's anger, their hearts were filled with fear.
Li Lu had known about this matter from the beginning until the end, and only he and Old Madam Li knew about it. Moreover, the culprit was him, so he had been silent the entire time.
"Second Brother, did you know this was going to happen?"
"I …" Li Lu looked a little scared. Although he didn't admit it, the expression on his face had already betrayed him.
Li Fu suppressed his anger and asked, word for word, "When did this happen?" Does anyone else think of him as the eldest son of this family?
Li Lu was a coward to begin with. When he saw his big brother angry, he was instantly scared to death. He immediately admitted to it and then told the whole story. However, the moment he finished speaking, three voices simultaneously shouted sternly, "What? You spent the silver? "
Li Fu's face darkened. He raised his fist and punched Li Lu's cheek. Li Lu's lower body became unstable and he fell to the ground instantly. As for the Wang Family, their faces were dark and hideous. Two taels of silver, this bastard!
When Madame Zhou saw Li Lu getting beaten up, she did not feel the slightest bit of heartache. Instead, she rushed over and pinched Li Lu a few times before howling, "Where's the silver? Two taels of silver was gone just like that? Did you go to the woman? Say, isn't it? "No, I have to get the silver back. I have to get it back …"
"Right, take it back, we have to take it back!"
Lady Wang had gone crazy with Madame Zhou. Only the heavens knew how hard it had been for her to coax the old woman for her brother's sake. However, two taels of silver were actually given to the widow by that bastard Li Lu.
Madame Zhou's entire being went crazy; her eyes were completely red from anger. Lady Wang followed closely behind, while her sister-in-law and sister-in-law rushed into Widow Zhao's house.
After being punched, Li Lu was fiercely pinched by his wife a few times. He was crying out in pain. He really couldn't understand what kind of bad luck he was going through. The number of beatings he had suffered in the past three months was actually more than the 20 plus years he had lived before.
LiFu was fuming inside. He was in the long room, and in the future, he would be sending off his parents' old age, carrying a banner and carrying a basin. He should be the one to split most of his parents' wealth. But, his mother had actually secretly given two taels of silver to Li Lu. Did his mother still have a son like him in her eyes?
When he thought about how, a few days ago, Li Lu and his wife robbed him in broad daylight, ruining the reputation of the Li family, and also affected the marriage of his daughter, what was the result? How did his mother do it? With a single sentence, Li Lu's guilt was easily dealt with. There was no punishment, and she even defiled her own daughter, a widower. How could her heart be so biased towards the Second Branch?
Could it be because he didn't have a son?
The more Li Fu thought about it, the angrier he got, so he couldn't care less. Seeing Li Lu made him even angrier, and he beat Li Lu up with a red-eyed look.
In the end, only when Old Man Li saw Old Lady Li had woken up did he go out and ask Li Fu to stop. Otherwise, Li Lu reckoned that the pain would not last for a while.
Old Mrs. Li had awoken and after learning that Li Lu had been beaten up by Li Fu, she cried sorrowfully. In the end, she threw four taels of silver at LiFu in frustration. Half of it was returned to Liu Da He while the other half was given to Lady Wang to bring back to her parents' home.
