Chapter 42 The Ungrateful Person (Please collect and read)

Dai Xinghua agreed. This was the first thing Wei Tu said after Caixia broke into Li Zhai's living room.

This sentence was calm and brief, but Li Yaozu and his wife heard a different meaning from it - Wei Tu was "talking back" to them.

Whether from the perspective of a servant who redeemed himself from Li's house, or from the perspective of a guest at Li's house, Wei Tu's words seemed very rude...

“No, it should be said that he was rude when Caixia broke into the living room.” Li Yaozu, who was sitting on the chair, immediately clenched his right hand hidden in his sleeve tighter, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

Originally, he thought that Wei Tu would come to him first to propose and discuss the deed to redeem Xing Hua... Then the two families would become harmonious, Li Zhai would let people go, Wei Zhai would take people in, and the matter between the two families would become a good talk in Qingshan County. Even a beautiful story on Shannan Road.

In this way, the Li family will receive huge fame from it. When Li Xingye takes the imperial examination, he will be highly regarded by the examiner and win the exam.

By then, the Li family's family status has been continuously promoted, becoming the leading "benevolent family" in Qingshan County.

But now, Wei Tu's words directly broke his illusion.

Wei Tu agreed to Caixia's proposal easily. He did not hesitate to think about the problem from the perspective of the Li family.

"How could he be so ungrateful?" Li Yaozu gritted his teeth.

He can't just watch his investment in Weitu over the past six months go to waste...

How passionate he was about Wei Tu before, he is now so angry.

Although Li Tong didn't think as much as Li Yaozu thought, after hearing Wei Tu's words, she instinctively felt that there was something "inappropriate" about what Wei Tu said.

It’s just that she didn’t understand the origin of this “improperness” for the time being.

“Is it possible that Mr. Li thinks that Wei cannot make decisions on Xinghua’s behalf?”

Seeing that Li Yaozu and his wife did not speak for a long time, Wei Tu frowned slightly, and his words suddenly became more sharp and sharp.

At first, when he came to the Li family's inner house today, he thought of Chunlan's words and decided to put off Xinghua's ransom for now and wait for another day to find an opportunity. He tried not to irritate Li Yaozu and his wife today, thinking of a favor.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Period.

The Caixia incident happened.

Such a scene of a rich kid bullying a maid immediately made Wei Tu feel that Li House was not a good place for Xinghua and needed to leave as soon as possible.

He has not forgotten the day he met Li Xingye in February. After the dinner, Li Xingye kicked the old cypress in the house hard.

Nowadays, Li Xingye went "crazy" after failing to pass the exam. If he knew that he had passed the exam and had a grudge, there is no guarantee that he would not attack Xinghua.

Such things...are out of your control!

Until then.

 Even if he had fame, it would be difficult for him to get involved in the Xinghua matter.

After all, Xinghua’s identity is in Li’s house, and Xinghua is a prostituted slave who belongs to Li’s house.

Hence, Caixia's opening just now has indeed solved an urgent need for Wei Tu.

After thinking about it, Wei Tu decided to go with the flow and take advantage of the situation to get Xinghua's deed of sale from Li Zhai without delaying any more time.

And what happened today—

Wei Tu expected that the Li family would not make a big deal about it afterwards, saying that he had "betrayed the master" because the matter involved Caixia.

Publishing this matter is a family scandal for the Li family.

The time has come.

Wei Tu will not hesitate.

"Of course not..." Li Yaozu sighed secretly and shook his head.

 Wei Tu is Xinghua’s husband, so he certainly has the right to decide whether to redeem Xinghua’s body deed.

 No matter how much he quibbles, it will not help. On the contrary, he will break up with Wei Tu.

He does not want the Li family to become enemies with Wei Tu.

However, as soon as Li Yaozu finished speaking, Li Xingye stood up from the table. He walked a few steps back and forth in the hall, looked at Caixia and Wei Tu in front of him, and said, "Wei Tu, are you really going to do this because of this girl and us?" The Li family is against it?”

"In the 16th year of Qing'an, there was a severe drought in Qingfeng Mansion and there was no harvest. The Li family took you in and gave you the grace of survival. Do you not want to repay it?"

“Last year, when you redeemed your deed, my father felt sorry for you, so he gave up the favor of the Li family and wrote a letter of recommendation to Shan Wuju..."

“This kind of kindness is for you to use to contradict my parents today?” Li Xingye laughed a few times and said.

Just now, he had planned to let Caixia leave and Xinghua redeem herself, but he didn't expect that Wei Tu would speak so brazenly and humiliate and persecute his parents in such a way.

He finally lost his patience.

After throwing out a few words, Li Xingye suddenly felt relaxed, as if all his resentment after failing the exam was revealed and poured out.

The voice fell.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold and quiet.

Li Yaozu and his wife fell silent.

Caixia was also shocked.

The three of them looked at Wei Tu in front of them. They didn't know how Wei Tu would react when faced with such truly humiliating words.

but-

Weitu was very calm, as if he had expected what Li Xingye would say.

“Wei has never forgotten the kindness of the Li family.”

“If there is a chance, Mr. Wei will repay the favor…”

Wei Tu looked at Li Xingye and answered with a slightly cold tone.

After finishing speaking, Wei Tu looked at Li Yaozu and his wife again, waiting for their response to Xinghua's redemption.

“Xingye failed the exam, and I have been feeling depressed recently. Some of my words have offended me. I hope Brother Wei won’t blame me.”

Li Tongshi apologized.

Then, she pushed Li Yaozu who was sitting next to her and said, "Master, go get Xinghua's body deed. Now, both of us have redeemed their lives, which is a happy event. I am also happy for them."

"Okay, okay..." Li Yaozu didn't hesitate when he saw the steps. He turned around and went to the inner hall to get Xinghua's body deed.

"Xinghua's redemption does not cost more than ten taels of silver, seven taels is enough."

Li Tong took out three taels of money from her purse and placed it on the tables beside her.

After doing all this, she pursed her lips tightly like Caixia did before, leaned back on the straight-backed chair, looked at the beams in the hall with wandering eyes, and was lost in thought for a while.

Xinghua’s body contract is obtained.

Wei Tu held up his hands, thanked Li Yaozu and his wife, and said: "Grandma, I don't think it's suitable to stay overnight today. If I have free time someday, I will come to Li's house with Xinghua to see you..."

"That's fine." After hearing this, Li Tongshi smiled habitually on his face and nodded in reply.

Beside.

Li Xingye was a little stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Wei Tu's Qi nourishing skills to be so good. His parents' handling was also somewhat different from his imagination.

But after he finished cursing, he felt that what he just said was inappropriate, and his anger overwhelmed him, so he pretended to be dead and waited for everything to end soon.

soon.

Weitu and Caixia left the living room.

Chunlan, who was waiting outside the door, watched the two of them leave, and then walked in with trembling hands holding the meal for Master Li's house tonight.

"Chunlan, what you just read should be swallowed in your stomach and you are not allowed to say it outside, otherwise the family will take care of you." Li Tongshi's smile faded one by one, and his face tightened as he scolded.

“Your servant understands.”

Chunlan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and placed the food in her hand on the Eight Immortals table.

"It's just that my servant has something I don't know whether to say or not..." Chunlan hesitated for a while, looked at Li Tongshi, and whispered.

“What words?”

Li Tongshi doesn't look very good-looking. She is more angry today than she has been in the past 20 years since she married into Li's house.

“Brother Wei…”

“He was famous in the Taoist examination this year and passed the rankings. He is...a second-class martial arts scholar.”

Chunlan said quickly.
