Li Laifu was a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was 150 silver, if Old Li really didn't care about him, he definitely had to ask to take out 150 silver, he could only go and find Huang Meiniang.
He turned his head and walked out of the courtyard with grievance, and headed straight to the next village, the Huang Family, to look for Huang Meiniang.
When Huang Meiniang saw that Li Laifu had come to find her, her expression was not very good, "What are you looking for me for? Didn't you say that you would let me calm down? " Li Laifu taking those things from her made her feel very unhappy.
If not for the fact that she wanted to win him over, she would have long ago turned hostile towards him.
Li Laifu looked at Huang Meiniang who had a coquettish face and smiled ingratiatingly, "Meiniang, look at what you're saying, don't you think I'm missing you?" As he spoke, he reached out to embrace Huang Meiniang's waist.
Pa! Huang Meiniang slapped Li Laifu's hand away and looked at him angrily: "Don't mess with me. If others see it, I will lose my reputation."
What kind of reputation was this? She already had no reputation to boast about, Li Laifu thought in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He still had a fawning smile on his face, and strongly embraced her waist, "Mei Niang, are you still angry with me? There's nothing I can do about that. If I had, I wouldn't even ask you for those things back. " Pausing, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know that Nephew Daughter of mine has a very hard temper. If I don't return her the things she gave me, what kind of fate will I have?"
He spoke of Zhang Huan pitifully, hoping that Huang Meiniang would pity him.
But unexpectedly, Huang Meiniang's expression did not even move, she raised her head and looked at Li Laifu, then patted his chest: "Why are you so anxious with me? Aren't I joking with you? " The smile on her face became even more beautiful, "Isn't your Nephew Daughter very rich? "Why do you care about such a small thing?"
When those things landed on her hands and made her return them, her heart bled.
Li Laifu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "That was the betrothal gift given to her by her fiance, maybe she values those betrothal gifts a lot, and insisted on taking them back." He carefully sized up Huang Meiniang's expression. Seeing that she was still smiling, his heart relaxed a little as she tried to test her out, "Meiniang, do you really want to marry me?"
If she really wanted to marry him, she would definitely stand on his side.
Although he had asked her before to get it back, she was indeed very angry, and he was a little uncertain about her.
Did she really want to marry him, as he said?
Since Huang Meiniang was able to trick Li Laifu, her brain was not stupid. She looked at Li Jiao, smiled, extended her hand and pointed at his chest, saying, "Why are you asking this?" Didn't he already know?
When Li Laifu saw her like this, his body softened by half. He held Huang Meiniang's hand and kissed it on his lips, looking like a loyal dog, he looked at her and said: "I know I know, I just can't help but want to ask you again." He felt that Huang Meiniang truly wanted to marry him, and so he spoke out the truth happily in his heart, "Meiniang, it's like this. That Nephew Daughter of mine must definitely let us return all the hairpins and step shake that she lost previously to her. If we don't return them to her, we must immediately give them to her …"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Meiniang screamed out, "Li Laifu, what do you mean? Ah? Just what exactly do you mean? She angrily pushed Li Laifu away and glared at him.
She would not forgive him if he did not give her a good reason.
"Meiniang, can you listen to what I have to say?" Li Laifu started to panic again. He immediately reached out and pulled Huang Meiniang into his embrace, hugging her tightly, not letting her struggle free, "My father said that if she doesn't return those things to my Nephew Daughter, he will have to give her 150 taels of silver. If my family has that much silver, I definitely won't come looking for you."
He carefully observed Huang Meiniang's body and saw that his face was still filled with anger. He was even more uncertain now, and could only coax her in a good mood, "Meiniang, those things have the name of my Nephew Daughter on them. You would also have a knot in your heart if you brought those things with you, wouldn't you? Don't worry, once you marry me, I'll definitely buy you a new one, okay? "
Huang Meiniang's face darkened, she raised her head and glared at Li Laifu. If he hadn't given those things to her, she wouldn't have fallen for them just because she saw them.
After she fell in love with those things, how could she feel good about him taking them back from her and giving them to others?
If she hadn't possessed it, she wouldn't have felt heartbroken. After possessing it, she would have been forcibly snatched away by someone else. That would have been heartbreaking.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? "Why don't you just tell me that you want to get all those things back."
"Mei-Niang, isn't there nothing we can do about this? If I had a way, I wouldn't do it. " He was afraid of his father in his heart. If his father were to be merciless, he would not care at all. If he was directly thrown out of the house, where would he go to cry?
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with his father and mother, but once he left home, he wouldn't be able to dig out some silver from his mother's hands.
Huang Meiniang's heart was filled with hatred. She reached out her hand to push Li Laifu, wanting him to let go of her. She no longer wanted to stay with him.
If she stayed with this man again, she might die from his anger.
She had never seen such a stupid man. That Nephew Daughter of his, telling him to take the thing back, was he really going to take the thing back? Couldn't he think of a way to hoodwink them?
When Li Laifu saw that Huang Meiniang was struggling and was about to leave him, he held her even more tightly. He kept on saying some sweet words to Huang Meiniang to cheer her up and stop making things difficult for her.
Huang Meiniang was also tired from struggling, she helplessly stopped, but her eyes were still staring at Li Laifu, "You're not going to let your father think about this matter? I don't believe that your Nephew Daughter dares to speak to your father like that, is she not afraid of being poked in the spine by others? " In her heart, she felt that Li Laifu exaggerated about this matter.
She just felt that Li Laifu was too stupid, and wouldn't think of any schemes to fool around with.
Li Laifu helplessly shook his head and replied: "Why can't I think of a way? "My father even used breaking off their relationship to threaten her, but she was indifferent. She decisively chose to break off their relationship and take back all her betrothal gifts." If Li Qingling's temper wasn't so hard, he wouldn't have been so helpless.
He wouldn't lose so much face and come to her to take it back.
"Ah?" How is that possible? " Huang Meiniang widened her eyes in shock. She really did not believe that there would be someone who would disregard their reputation and take the things back, "Laifu, you aren't lying to me right? Is that Nephew Daughter of yours really that stubborn?"
Li Laifu immediately raised his hand and swore a venomous oath. If he had spoken a lie just now, he would have been struck by lightning in the sky.
Seeing that he had even made a poison oath, Huang Meiniang believed in his words. Only, he was still very surprised in his heart, he never thought that there would be such a person, who would not even care about his own reputation.
Li Laifu was a very observant person, when he saw Huang Meiniang's expression soften a little, he continued to persuade him, "Mei-Niang, don't worry, in the future I will definitely make good money and buy more beautiful hairpins and step shake for you. Those are other people's possessions, how about we give them back to her?" If Huang Meiniang didn't agree with him, then he would really be disappointed in her.
It was possible that, as her father had said, she did not love him, but loved his money.
Huang Meiniang met Li Laifu's eyes, and from his eyes, she saw what he was thinking about. She lowered her head, rolled his eyes, and then slowly nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll pack the items and give them to you."
After saying that, Li Laifu's face revealed a big smile, he hugged Huang Meiniang tightly, and started to talk sweet nothings to Huang Meiniang.
In his heart, he felt even more that there was him in Huang Meiniang's heart, and she loved him.
Huang Meiniang endured the unhappiness in her heart, and smiled: "Let me go first, I'll bring the thing over to you."
Li Laifu nodded and let go of his hands.
When Huang Meiniang turned around, her expression fell and her teeth chattered. If she wasn't afraid that Li Laifu would suspect him, she wouldn't have returned the thing to him.
For the sake of her future, she would compromise this time!
Huang Meiniang quickly packed the things and ran out again. She found Li Laifu and handed the things over to him.
Li Laifu took the thing in Huang Meiniang's hands and pulled Huang Meiling's hand. He gave her a gentle kiss: "Meiniang, you're really nice, I really want to marry you home as soon as possible." This way, they wouldn't have to meet in secret.
Huang Meiniang smiled and tapped his forehead, telling him to quickly take back the things, and come back to find her when she was free.
Li Laifu also knew that this matter was a matter of priority. He unwillingly nodded his head, gave Huang Meiniang another kiss, then turned and left in large strides.
When he returned home, he threw the thing back to Old Li and said that he had brought it back. Without waiting for Old Li to react, he went back to his room.
Old Li opened his bag in surprise. It was indeed Li Qingling's hairpin and step shake. He sighed, stood up with the things in his hands and ran over to find Li Qingling.
Seeing that he had returned the things to her so quickly, Li Qingling raised her eyebrows. Indeed, there were some people who could not be ruthless to her.
She compared it with the list and felt that the items matched it, then nodded to Old Li, saying that they were all here.
After Old Li heard this, without saying a word, he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, an unexpected guest arrived at the house.
