Chapter 338 Coming back sooner or later

Li Jiaojiao is missing!

The Li family searched for several days and nights but couldn't find anyone.

He went to the government office to make trouble, but was beaten by the staff.

Finally, a classmate of Li Zhiyuan who was familiar with him said that he saw Li Jiaojiao leave the city gate and left alone.

This news was a bolt from the blue for the Li family.

Since Li Jiaojiao went to jail, no one has returned the money.

Li Zhiyuan lost his title as a scholar, and no bookstore was willing to accept his annotations anymore. Li Zhiyuan could not earn back a single penny.

The whole family was counting on Li Jiaojiao to bring back money every now and then after she was released from prison, as she had done before.

Although I don’t know how she did it, as long as she has money, it doesn’t matter where it comes from.

Now, Li Jiaojiao has escaped!

I waited for a few days, but he didn't come back. He really left!

Mrs. Li was so angry that she burst into tears and rushed into Zhang Shuiniang's room. She beat her severely and took away all her jewelry.

All the items were sold for just over twenty taels.

Li Zhiyuan seemed to be deaf and blind, and seemed unable to see Li Po's robbing, beating and scolding.

Mrs. Li ran to Li Zhiyuan's room and cried, "We only have this much money left. What are we going to do in the future?"

"Now you can't do your job of copying books and annotating them... Li Jiaojiao, that little bitch, has also run away... Do we have to work in the fields ourselves like those lowly farmers?"

When Li Zhiyuan heard that he had to work in the fields himself, he came back to his senses and said, "Bullshit! How can I, Li Zhiyuan, a scholar... a scholar, work in the fields!"

He can't accept it!

"No, no, no... We still have Ye Caiping! And Zhaodi and Laidi!" Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "As long as Ye Caiping comes back, we will be the owners of the three big workshops."

Li Zhiyuan gritted his teeth but said nothing.

"Li Jiaojiao ran away, you should divorce Zhang Shuiniang now! Only by divorcing her will Ye Caiping come back."

Li Zhiyuan felt his pride was insulted and angrily said, "I won't quit! Unless Ye Caiping comes back to beg me!"

He has now made a big concession by saying this.

Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised: "As long as you are willing, that's enough."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li hurried out the door.

But halfway through the run, he went back and reluctantly took out a silver hairpin, which was taken from Zhang Shuiniang's head.

Mrs. Li ran excitedly to Qinghe Village.

But when Shanzi saw her, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing here again? Do you want to be slapped again?"

Mrs. Li's face turned pale: "I, I just want to say something to Ye Caiping."

"roll!"

Mrs. Li took two steps back and said, "Go in and tell Ye Caiping that my Zhiyuan still has feelings for her. She only needs to go back and say a few nice words and they can get remarried."

"You don't want this stinky mouth anymore, and you dare to ruin my Lady Ye's reputation. Where is Li Zhiyuan a stinky bug? Is he worthy of it?"

Mrs. Li's face turned pale: "What's the point of saying they are compatible... They are husband and wife. They have two daughters! If they remarry, won't Zhaodi and Laidi have a complete family?"

Shanzi is going to hit someone again.

Mrs. Li had no choice but to escape.

Anyway, she has already said it, and as long as Ye Caiping is willing, she will hear it soon.

After thinking about it, he ran to sit under a tree not far away.

After waiting for a full hour, just when she wanted to go home, she saw Ye Huaner walking towards her from afar.

Mrs. Li was so excited that she stepped forward and said with tears in her eyes: "Laidi..."

Ye Huaner had a stern face.

Without waiting for Ye Huan'er to speak, Mrs. Li hurriedly put the hairpin into her hand and said with pursed lips:

"I know your birthday is in October... but I didn't dare to look for you, for fear that you would be unhappy. But grandma really wants to give you a birthday gift... You know our family is poor, and this silver hairpin is the only valuable thing in the family."

Ye Huaner raised her eyebrows: "My birthday gift?"

Mrs. Li nodded, feeling touched to see her talking to her.

After all, she is my granddaughter, and we are related by blood. If you pay for her, there will always be a reward.

Ye Huan'er asked: "When is my birthday?"

Mrs. Li’s face froze immediately.

Ye Huan'er sneered lightly, stuffed the silver hairpin into her hand, turned and left, and walked into the house after a while.

Mrs. Li stared blankly at the closed door in the distance and the cold silver hairpin in her hand.

My heart is filled with bitterness and sadness.

She turned around and walked back, crying as she walked.

Why treat her like this? But she is her own grandmother! My dear grandmother who is related by blood!

Even if she forgot her birthday, it was indeed a bit bad in the past, but didn't she change?

Why do you have to keep holding on to it?

Mrs. Li cried all the way, but no matter how sad she was, she would not give up.

No matter what, at least he didn't scold her today and his tone of voice was quite gentle.

This is getting better step by step.

As long as he continues to care for his two granddaughters, the relationship between them will be restored sooner or later.

Even if she is a girl, she is still my granddaughter!

She also wanted to restore family ties.

And Ye Caiping, I wonder how she would react when she heard Zhiyuan say she had a chance?

Anyway, everything is moving in the right direction.

It was only a matter of time before the three of them, mother and daughter, came back.

After returning home, Mrs. Li waited there, secretly inquiring about Ye Caiping's situation.

But there was no movement from Qinghe Village, as if no one heard it.

Could it be that the damn servant didn't pass the message on?

Mrs. Li was very angry, so she said to the villagers intentionally or unintentionally: "My Zhiyuan is not a heartless person. As long as Ye Caiping is willing to come back and say something soft, we can let her come back."

Everyone who heard it looked at her as if she was a fool.

But Mrs. Li waited day after day, but there was still no movement.

Mrs. Li thought that Ye Caiping wanted to compete with Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan was so angry that he slammed the table and chairs in the room: "You're just making a few bucks and you're acting like a fool. Do you want me to bow my head?"

Mrs. Li said anxiously, "Humph, you used to be very humble to Zhang Shuiniang, so what if you just bow your head once?"

"How can they be the same! Just Ye Caiping!"

No matter how much money she earns now, in Li Zhiyuan's eyes she is still the same.

How could he bow his head to the lowly people who once looked down on him and knelt before him?

Li Zhiyuan stared at Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, don't bother yourself. I'll see how long she can last."

It's been a year and she hasn't found a new partner. She has rejected matchmakers one after another. Isn't it just to wait for him?

Although she is rich and good-looking, she has two daughters of such age. No good family would look down on her!

Who else could she marry except him, Li Zhiyuan?

Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said, "Okay, she's too picky. Now I'll try to mend my relationship with my two good granddaughters first."
