Chapter 165 Coma
The gatekeeper saw that Li Xiaobao didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded to another gatekeeper, and the other gatekeeper ran into the county government office.
Zhao Lanlan had nothing to do, so she was wandering around the county government office. Just as she reached the door, she heard a commotion outside. Listening carefully, she heard the crying and begging sounds of Old Lady Li, as well as her brother's voice. What was going on? Old Lady Li actually came here as well.
Just as she was about to go take a look, she saw a yamen runner running towards her. Zhao Lanlan called out to him, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"Madam, there are two groups of people fighting outside the door. One of the little boys said that the one being beaten was the county magistrate's mother, so I went to report it to you." Everyone in the county government knew that Zhao Lanlan was old man Li's new concubine, so they all called her old lady.
Her brother was beating up Old Lady Li. Zhao Lanlan almost laughed out loud. Then she thought for a moment and said coldly, "How could the county magistrate's mother, who lives far away in Jiunu County, fight with someone in front of the county government office? In the future, don't report this kind of thing to the lady. If you anger her, she'll ask you to get out of here."
"Yes, it was Madam Xie who reminded me." The bailiff nodded and bowed, thanking Zhao Lanlan repeatedly.
"Go, go, kid. If you say another word of nonsense, I'll put you in jail." The bailiff returned to the door and shouted sternly, scaring Li Xiaobao so much that he ran away.
"Get up and hit me." Wang kicked Old Lady Li who was lying on the ground again and said arrogantly.
"I don't dare anymore. Please stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I'll die." Old Mrs. Li's waist hurt so much, as if it was going to break. It was excruciatingly painful to move. She was also hit in many places on her body. She was really unlucky today. She didn't check the almanac before going out, and she met such an evil star who was even more cruel than Li Xiaoxiao.
"You deserve to be beaten to death. Do you know who I am? It's not against the law for me to beat you to death. Humph." Wang felt relaxed when she looked at Old Lady Li.
"Who are you?" Old Mrs. Li lay on the ground groaning. At this moment, she really wanted to know what kind of evil star she had provoked.
"I'm telling you, remember to avoid me if you see me next time. My daughter married the father of the Chengyang County magistrate, so she is half the owner of the magistrate's backyard." Wang looked arrogant.
She turned out to be Zhao Lanlan's mother. Old Lady Li almost choked to death on her saliva. She raised one hand with difficulty, her hand trembling. She was so angry that she couldn't speak: "You, you, you."
In the Li family, Zhao Lanlan oppressed her. When she came to Chengyang County, she was severely beaten up by her mother for no reason. Did she owe Zhao Lanlan in her previous life that she bullied her like this?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, Mrs. Li’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
When Li Dajiang finished his errand and came back, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the county government office.
He walked over with a sullen face. As soon as he got closer, he saw Mrs. Li lying on the ground. She was motionless and obviously unconscious. Her body and face were in a mess. It was obvious that she had been beaten.
Seeing her, Li Dajiang's eyes flashed with annoyance. Old Man Li had just been here for two days, and he hadn't figured out a way to get him to go back yet, and now Old Lady Li was here again. But no matter how annoyed he was, he couldn't just ignore her, so he had someone carry Old Lady Li in.
Seeing Li Dajiang coming, Jiang cried with snot and tears: "Brother, you are finally here. Mom was almost beaten to death by them. If you had come a little later, we would have been left to collect the body. It was him, he was the one who beat her."
Jiang pointed at Zhao Xiaojun, and when Zhao Xiaojun saw Li Dajiang, he immediately became timid and hid behind Zhao Jinbao.
After hearing Jiang calling Li Dajiang "Brother", Zhao Jinbao and Wang were both stunned. What was going on?
Looking at Li Dajiang's official uniform, she thought he must be the magistrate of Chengyang County, but what a stupid thing she had just done.
Wang's heart was pounding at this moment. He actually hit the county magistrate's mother. Seeing Old Lady Li lying half-dead on the ground, she really wanted to slap herself twice. How could she be so mean.
Seeing Li Dajiang's gloomy face again, Wang hurriedly laughed and said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We are all family. We are Zhao Lanlan's family. It's not a big deal. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Li Dajiang was already in a bad mood. When he heard that it was Zhao Lanlan's family, he clenched his fists and his face became extremely gloomy. It was that woman again. Because of her, all the servants in the county government were talking about him behind his back.
But he couldn't do anything to her. Old man Li treasured her so much that he held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting.
He originally wanted to give each of the Wang family members thirty lashes, but because of Zhao Lanlan, he had to give up.
He ordered people to carry Old Lady Li into the county government office, and sent someone to invite a doctor. Jiang followed Li Dajiang into the county government office together. Wang and the other two discussed it in a low voice and followed in.
Li Dajiang knew his family's temper very well. So much trouble had already happened on the first day. Who knew what would happen if they stayed for a few more days.
We must find a way to send them all back.
The doctor arrived soon, checked Old Lady Li's pulse, and prescribed medicine: "Old Madam, you overworked when you were young, and you already have back pain. Today you are seriously injured, so you must take good care of yourself. If you are not careful again, you may not be able to stand up in the future."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Jiang nodded randomly, thinking about Li Laosi. Why didn't she see him for a long time? She only heard half of the doctor's words but didn't take them seriously.
At this time, Old Mrs. Li was still unconscious on the bed and did not hear what the doctor said.
As soon as Wang entered the backyard of the county government office, she felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything she saw was new to her. She thought her daughter was so lucky to be able to live in such a big house.
Li Dajiang ignored them and asked a maid about Zhao Lanlan's address.
When they arrived, Li Chunsheng and Zhao Lanlan were sitting and talking. It was unknown what Li Chunsheng said that made Zhao Lanlan blush.
"Daughter, I finally found you." Wang interrupted the two of them with a light cough, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Mom, why are you here at the county government office?" Zhao Lanlan was not surprised to see the two of them. She reached out and picked up a piece of dessert on the table, took a small bite, and said nonchalantly.
Li Chunsheng was a little surprised. Zhao Lanlan called her mother, but what were they doing here? Although he was confused, he still stood up quickly and saluted the two of them respectfully: "The son-in-law greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
