Xia Li was puzzled. He looked at his grandmother Zhao, not knowing when he had brought his first uncle, Li Yushan, over.
"Mother, stop beating me up, I admit it, this is all my son's, Little Stone's, fault that Xia Li's yard. The money was also stolen by my wife, I admit it."
Li Yushan's face was completely red as she shrunk her neck to admit it.
"Our family has let down Xia Li, our sister, all because I did not manage my family well, and caused you all to get into trouble."
"I'm even more sorry to the neighbors and neighbors. I'm sorry to have let everyone down. I'll replace them and apologize to everyone."
Li Yushan, who was always afraid of his wife, finally submitted under the threat of her mother. She also felt that her family was too shameful, and she felt that it was shameful that they had to apologize to her.
"You good-for-nothing, why are you apologizing to them? We didn't do anything wrong, you've really shamed us all. "
Madam Zhou pulled Li Yushan and said unhappily.
"You ignorant woman, shut up! Look at what you have done with your child!" How are we going to get a foothold in the manor, without a house to sleep in on the street? You better calm down. "
Li Yushan was angry, and shouted at the Madam Zhou.
"I see that you've eaten the guts of a leopard today. If you dare to come up to the room and tear apart the roof, let's see how I'll teach you a lesson …"
With a loud slap, with a crisp sound, before Madam Zhou could finish speaking, his face was slapped heavily, and his body swayed a little. He looked at Li Yushan in disbelief.
"You hit me, you actually dared to hit me?!" You good-for-nothing, I'll fight you to the death. "
The Madam Zhou said as he was about to pounce on Li Yushan, and fight to the death with him.
"If you keep making trouble, I'll beat you up again."
When Li Yushan struck again, Madam Zhou was immediately stunned. He cursed once and hid away in fear.
"You bastards, you want to bully me and your kids? Alright, Li Yushan, why don't you stay here by yourself? The child and I will go back to our parents' home, and we will never come back to your home again. "
Madam Zhou cried as she ran home with Little Stone.
"Mom, look at that house, can you not take it back? Our family is counting on it to stay."
Li Yushan was so ashamed that his face was flushed red, he shamelessly said to the old lady.
"So it's all about the house. I thought you really became the head of the family after what happened just now. What a disappointment."
The surrounding neighbors were all too lazy to continue watching, they were extremely dissatisfied with Li Yushan's performance, and scattered their work.
"Boss, you better remember this. If your daughter-in-law and son do something too excessive again, I really will take back the house. If I don't teach you guys a lesson, you will have almost forgotten that I'm your mother, right? Although Little Stone is the grandson of our Li Family, we can't be this lawless either. Otherwise, we will be the source of all this trouble when we grow up.
After Mrs Zhao said this, her eyes turned red.
"Mom, then I'll go back first."
Li Yushan then chased after his wife and children without even turning his head back.
Just as Li Yushan left, Mrs Zhao's body collapsed backwards, scaring Xia Li, who immediately went forward to support her.
"Grandmother, what happened to you? "If you are feeling better, let me help you go back and rest."
Xia Li supported Mrs Zhao's body and asked worriedly.
"Cough …" Grandmother is fine, she's just angry at the sight of your uncle being so afraid of his wife. After so many years, he's been under the control of his wife at home, and even his children are calling him a good-for-nothing. "My poor granddaughter, if it weren't for the neighbors calling me, I wouldn't even know that such a shameful thing would have happened."
"It's alright, granddaughter, you don't have to worry. You can continue living here peacefully. After all, the deed to the house that the eldest lives in is still in the hands of the two of us, so he doesn't dare to act rashly."
Mrs Zhao unceasingly comforted Xia Li.
"But Grandma, just now, you said something like 'Uncle and First Aunt' in the streets. Aren't you worried that they won't be able to stay in the manor in the future?"
After all, what would the neighbors think after this incident?
"What are you doing?" If I don't teach her a lesson and expose her shady past in front of everyone, she might become even more arrogant in the future. The only thing I can do is to let everyone see her true face and let her completely lose face.
Mrs Zhao coldly snorted.
"Grandma, what you said makes sense. I'll help you go back and rest first. Since you've been out for so long, Grandpa must be waiting anxiously at home."
Seeing Mrs Zhao so excited, Xia Li did not dare to provoke him anymore and could only comfort her as she hurriedly sent her back.
Mrs Zhao sighed, and with Xia Li's support, she slowly walked back.
Only after Xia Li sent Mrs Zhao back did the courtyard quieten down once again.
Lee's, Xia Qing, and Sun Chun were standing in the courtyard. All of their expressions were ugly, the courtyard was a mess.
Mother, the bowls in the kitchen have been smashed by the First Aunt, so there's no way for you to cook. I think you guys must be hungry, I'll go to the yard to count and see if there's anything else that's still missing. Let's go buy some buns from the town, then go buy some buns.
Xia Li said as he walked in front of the worried Lee's.
"But, didn't your First Aunt steal the money in your room? Xia Li, think about it carefully, how much is still missing?
When Lee's thought about how Xia Li's money had been stolen by him, the anger in his heart rose immediately.
No matter how weak her character, she was still angry at the thought of her future livelihood difficulties.
Mother, don't worry, most of the money is already in the bank, I still have some broken silver, and the little money I put in the room is for emergencies, First Aunt at most received that little money, and her notoriety has already spread throughout the manor, so she will not dare to be so presumptuous in the future.
Hearing Xia Li's patient explanation, Lee's's expression became slightly better, as he hugged Xia Qing tightly, and said angrily.
"In the future, I won't allow her to take a step into this courtyard. If she comes, I'll use a broom to drive her out."
"Sure, Mother, we'll do as you say. You and Xia Qing are both waiting at home. I will be back in two hours. "
Xia Li held onto Lee's's hand and said with a smile.
"Let me help you count the items you need to buy so that you can relax a little."
As Sun Chun said this, he began to count the various places in the kitchen and the courtyard. He also prepared a paper and a brush to write down what he needed to buy on the list.
"I'll pack my things. There aren't many things in this courtyard, so I should be able to clear them out quickly."
The Lee's also brought Xia Qing and began to clean up the destroyed things in the courtyard. Everything was piled up in the courtyard, in a woven bag, ready to be thrown out later.
"Then let's all move together."
As Xia Li said that, he led the rest to continue with their work.
Everyone gathered as much as they could, and before long, Sun Chun handed over a shopping list to Xia Li. Lee's and Xia Qing also packed up all sorts of broken household items and brought them out with them.
"Sun Chun, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my mother and brother. I'll go to town."
Before Xia Li prepared to leave, he specifically warned Sun Chun.
"As much as I can." Sun Chun sat on the stairs and replied as he cleaned the courtyard.
"Xia Qing helped mother to go to the village to collect trash from their uncle, but she hasn't been back for such a long time. I'll go take a look first."
Xia Li felt that his eyelids were constantly twitching, and his heart was flustered. He decided that before he left, it would be better to bring Lee's and Xia Qing back together.
"Then I'll go with you."
Sun Chun said as he and Xia Li set off together, searching for the Lee's and Xia Qing. But not long after they left, they heard the heart-wrenching cries of the Lee's, which travelled all the way over.
"Not good, it's my mother's voice."
Xia Li said as he frowned slightly. Following the sound, he ran over, only to see Lee's sitting by the well, hugging Xia Qing's wet body and sobbing. The people around were surrounding the well, accompanied by the screams of children.
"Let me go!"
Little Stone shouted to the man who was grabbing his body.
Xia Li looked at Little Stone, who was being grabbed, and lowered her head to try and bite his hand again. She could not care less, immediately running to Lee's's side and grabbing onto her body, as she asked anxiously.
"Mother, what's going on? What's wrong with Xia Qing?"
"It's the evil being called Little Stone, who pushed Xia Qing into the well, it's him! If it were not for the good intentions of the village neighbors who saved him, Xia Qing might not be alive right now! "
Lee's cried miserably, her voice hoarse as she pointed at the struggling Little Stone and complained.
"He's the one seeking death, who let him meet me, who let you bully my mother, it's best if you drown him, and never wake up again!"
Little Stone shouted.
Xia Li could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, rushed to the front of Little Stone and, ignoring his shouts and kicks, fiercely slapped him on the face. Little Stone wailed loudly, until he was crying profusely.
"Hurry up and save your little brother. His life is the most important."
Sun Chun pulled the extremely furious Xia Li and yelled in her ear.
"Xia Qing, how are you? Big Sister is here to save you, you must wake up. "
Xia Li regained his senses and ran over to Lee's and hugged Xia Qing from her embrace.
"Everyone help to find a doctor, saving Xia Qing is the most important thing!"
Someone shouted from the crowd.
Xia Li supported Xia Qing, "I am a doctor, my own little brother, I will save him!"
When Xia Qing landed in the well water, his body turned ice-cold from the cold water. Xia Li laid Xia Qing flat on the ground, pressed his chest with rhythm, and kept on artificial breathing. After some rescue, Xia Qing finally spat out all the water in his lungs.
"Wuu … wuu …" "Cold."
Xia Qing hugged her body and cried.
"Quickly put on big sister's clothes, come here." As Xia Li said that, he took off his jacket and put it on Xia Qing.
Xia Qing stretched his hands out to touch every nook and cranny but he was still unable to do so. His eyes were once again shrouded in darkness, and he panicked, choking back his emotions as he asked. "Big sister, is it night time? "Where are you …"
Lee's's body shook and he almost fell backwards.
