Chapter 124 Immorality Smokes
Whoever she wanted would come. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao, Li Ruolan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Dahai and Sun Shi seemed to have found their backbone, and their hearts finally settled down.
Li Xiaoxiao signaled to them with her eyes that it was okay.
Jiang stood up straight as soon as she heard this, and put away the gloating expression on her face: "Your grandma is angry, so I can't help."
Old lady Li, who was howling with her eyes closed, felt a shock in her heart. Why did she come? At the same time, she became alert. With Li Xiaoxiao around, something bad must be happening.
Li Ruolan walked quickly up to Li Xiaoxiao and told her what had happened.
"Sister, you did a great job." With Li Ruolan's personality, it was not easy for her to stand up and stop Old Lady Li.
Li Ruolan nodded gently. Although she was a little scared just now, she knew that Xiaoxiao could not protect her forever. She had to learn to change herself and become brave and bold so that she could protect the people she wanted to protect.
"Grandma, how dare you go out? The matter between my aunt and Zhang Wenbin..." Li Xiaoxiao hadn't finished her words yet.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart." Old Mrs. Li stood up from the ground and hurriedly interrupted Li Xiaoxiao's next words.
"Grandma, don't be angry, I won't tell you anything." Li Xiaoxiao didn't intend to tell you about Liu's affairs, she just wanted Grandma Li to get up quickly. As far as she could remember, Grandma Li hadn't been to the county town for many years, so why would she come today?
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao coming, Old Lady Li stopped making trouble because she knew that Li Xiaoxiao would not buy it at all.
Then he put on airs again, raised his head and showed his nose to others: "Second brother, I'm here to tell you something today."
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"What a great news." Old Lady Li deliberately kept the secret a secret, and said proudly, "You may not know yet, but your eldest brother has passed the imperial examination and will be an official in the future."
"It's a pity that you separated early, second brother, otherwise little Hua Wen Ruolan would be a young master or young lady of an official family now." Jiang had a look of gloating on her face.
"That's really good news." Li Dahai was happy from the bottom of his heart. His parents had been waiting for so many years and finally it came true.
Li Xiaoxiao disagreed. How could a mere juren be so happy? Although she didn't know much about the official system in ancient times, she still knew about juren.
Juren can be said to be the lowest threshold for entering officialdom. One can only be a chief clerk or a county magistrate. At best, one can be a county magistrate. If you don't know, you would think it is a very high-ranking official.
"Second brother, now that you have separated, I tell you, don't think about taking advantage of your eldest brother anymore. If anyone wants help, it will only be for the third and fourth brothers. Don't even think about it." Old Mrs. Li warned with a look of disdain on her face.
"Mom, I didn't expect my eldest brother to help me. I'm in much better health now. I'm content running this tofu shop." Li Dahai is really satisfied with the current situation. Since the separation of the family, his living conditions have improved a lot, his body is much stronger than before, and the children are all obedient and sensible. What else can he be dissatisfied with?
"Hmph, it's useless even if you think about it." Old Mrs. Li didn't believe him. As she spoke, she thought of another thing.
"Second brother, you distributed tofu and beans in the village before, but the Li family never got a share. Anyway, I'm in the county town, so you prepare the beans and tofu, and I'll take them away later." Old Mrs. Li said it as a matter of course, as if Li Xiaoxiao's family owed them something.
"Grandma, you don't have to ask my dad for it. I'm the head of this family." The things had been divided up long ago. After going through so much trouble, he still wanted something. It might not look good, but he had a nice thought.
"You bitch, I'm talking to my son, what does it have to do with you?" Old Mrs. Li drooped her triangular eyes and glared at Li Xiaoxiao viciously.
"How come I have nothing to do with it? Although my father worked, the money he earned from his work was not enough for him to buy medicine. Also, when the family was divided, he was given a one-time pension for one year, which was five taels of silver. If I remember correctly, it has only been half a year now." Li Xiaoxiao kindly reminded
"Second brother, you are such a wicked thing. You let Li Xiaoxiao treat me like this. What sin have I committed to give birth to such a heartless thing like you? Do you really want to piss me off to death?" Old lady Li now felt that she was superior to others. After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, she felt very humiliated. She pointed at Li Dahai's nose and cursed at him.
Although it was Li Xiaoxiao who talked back to her, with Li Xiaoxiao's hot temper, how could she dare to go against her, so she could only vent her anger on her cowardly son.
Since ancient times, people have had the nature of watching excitement. Originally, they came to buy tofu, but when they saw the excitement, they all stayed there.
Seeing this they finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that they had separated, and the old lady saw that their business was good, so she wanted to get some money. But when they didn't give her anything, she made a fuss. She just didn't know why she was so shameless. Five taels of silver a year as a filial gift was the most they could give. How much could a farmer harvest in a year? This old lady was really ungrateful.
"Grandma, why don't you go to the county government office and sue my father? You scold my father all day long, saying that he is unfilial. You can also call my eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle together and let the county magistrate decide the case to see who is unfilial."
"You..." Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she pointed at her with trembling fingers, and she didn't know what to say. In fact, Li Dahai could be said to be the most filial among the brothers, but also the least favored one. On the other hand, Li Lao Da and Li Lao Si were born with a clever mouth and were the best at making her happy.
"Oh my god, I won't live any longer. My granddaughter is going to force me to death." Seeing that she was ignored, Old Mrs. Li started to throw a tantrum. She noticed with her sharp eyes that there was still half a board of tofu that had not been sold on the wooden board. Evil thoughts arose in her heart. She grabbed a corner of the white cloth under the tofu and pulled it hard.
This series of actions happened so quickly that before anyone could react, half a plate of snow-white tofu fell to the ground and broke into many pieces, all covered in mud.
"If you don't give it to me, old lady, no one else can eat it." Old Mrs. Li looked at her masterpiece, and the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was finally relieved.
"Grandma, I respect you and call you grandma, but your behavior is really chilling. I'm afraid this matter today can't be resolved peacefully." Li Xiaoxiao spoke in a low voice with a serious expression. When he looked at Grandma Li, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, which made Grandma Li's heart beat fast.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. We are not doing business today. Please go back." Li Xiaoxiao politely asked the customers to leave, and also asked Li Dahai, Sun and Li Ruolan to leave.
