Chapter 293: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 293: Shameless and Violent Solution (1)
After cheating and getting another woman pregnant, not to mention driving his lawful wife out of the house, now he shows up and starts causing trouble again. Such scum would have been despised and condemned long ago in the past.
But this scum had the audacity to publicly ask Li Xiu to go back with him. When Li Xiu firmly refused, some bystanders actually tried to persuade her to go back with him, saying things like "a day as a couple, a hundred days of grace." They even claimed that if he's willing to let her return, it means he still cares for her, and she should cherish it.
What's even more despicable is that these words came from a woman's mouth, and they received support from many others, which emboldened the scum even more. He desperately pretended to be pitiful, begging Li Xiu to go back with him, making Li Xiu cry in anger. In the end, Li Zhong couldn't bear it anymore and drove the scum away with a broom.
Listening to Li Xiu's grievances, Mo Yan's stomach ached with anger. What kind of messed-up moral values were these!
"Grandpa Li, please don't listen to those people and let Li Xiu go back. The Zhang family is just a pit of fire," Mo Yan said indignantly, fearing that Li Zhong would be influenced by public opinion and actually convince Li Xiu to return.
"Yan, I've lived to this age, and there are some things I've long come to terms with. As long as we live comfortably, why should we care about others' opinions? Li Xiu is fine now. As long as she doesn't do anything foolish, why would I let her go back to that heartless creature!"
Li Zhong looked at his daughter with pity. He considered himself not a narrow-minded person. Now his only wish was for his daughter and granddaughter to be well. If there were suitable suitors in the future, he would be content to see them settle down happily.
"That's good!"
Mo Yan finally felt relieved. She didn't doubt Li Zhong's deep love for his daughter. She just feared that he might be swayed by gossip and agree to such a thing on impulse.
She had intended to suggest that the next time that scum showed up, Li Zhong should not waste time talking to him but simply kick him out. However, at this moment, Mo Qingze, who had returned with a few of the younger ones, came back, so she didn't say anything further.
In the afternoon, there were fewer people coming and going on the street, and business wasn't as good as in the morning. They only sold two to three hundred catties of grain and over a hundred eggs in the afternoon. However, everyone remained hopeful. As long as word of mouth spread, and customer base stabilized, they wouldn't have trouble selling their goods.
With daylight fading in the short winter day, as the time approached dusk, they finished sorting out the items together and closed the shop. Then, they all rode the carriage back to Liuyang Village.
Xiao Hua and Little furball were squatting at the gate, waiting for their masters to come home and open the door. Beside them was a larger figure, Da Bai. Seeing Xiao Hei walking towards them from a distance, the two big ones rushed up with their legs spread out.
Round little Little furball also bounced along behind them. However, its front legs stumbled into a small pit, and it rolled several times before getting up again and continued hopping towards the direction of the carriage.
Mo Yan sat outside and was the first to get off the carriage when it stopped at the gate. Xiao Hua and Little furball saw her and eagerly pounced on her.
Bending down, Mo Yan picked up Little furball and rubbed its head. The little fellow was already three months old, with a chubby body that made it a bit hard to carry.
Seeing that their master only picked up Little furball and ignored him, Xiao Hua felt jealous and bit Little furball's wagging tail, pulling it down.
Humph, I'll allow you to sleep with the master at night. I've already been generous enough. Now you dare to compete with me for favor. Forget it!
Xiao Hua didn't hold back, and it pulled Little furball's tail, causing it to cry out. Mo Yan chuckled and pinched its ear. It reluctantly let go of Little furball, its resentful look drawing a few laughs from Da Bai.
Before it got too dark to see clearly, Mo Yan heard Da Bai's voice and realized that it had come. She quickly put down Little furball and ran over to rub its head. "Why did you come down from the mountain? Are you staying at home tonight?"
