Chapter 65 What's this?

After returning home, Li Zhiyuan went to the bathroom and washed five times before he completely washed away the odor on his body.

Li Zhiyuan just returned to his room, and saw Mrs. Li rushing over like a cannonball:

"Are they telling the truth? You spent two hundred taels to buy a piece of broken jade? Or was it the cheap piece that Ye's bitch brought?"

Li Zhiyuan's face turned pale. How could this news spread so quickly?

In just one hour, the news reached my mother's ears.

At this time, Li Jiaojiao and Li Zimo came over after hearing the sound. Li Jiaojiao sighed softly and said gently:

"Grandma, don't get excited. Dad didn't buy the jade. I bought it. I have my own use for the jade. Don't be upset."

Mrs. Li was stunned and her eyes widened:

"What did you say? Is there any difference? Didn't we both spend two hundred taels to buy a piece of broken jade?"

"Besides, I heard that the money was taken from you. So you have been keeping the two hundred taels all along? What's going on?"

"The money of our Li family was actually taken by a little girl. This is really outrageous!"

The reason why Mrs. Li accepted Zhang Shuiniang and the other two so quickly was because Zhang Shuiniang was the daughter of the rich man Zhang.

Mr. Zhang was the richest family in Lijia Village, the kind that everyone in the village wanted to curry favor with.

More than ten years ago, Mrs. Li had dreamed of having Zhang Shuiniang as her daughter-in-law, but was ruthlessly rejected, leaving her with regret.

So even though Zhang Shuiniang was marrying for the second time, Mrs. Li did not despise her. She was happy with it and felt that she had finally married the daughter of the rich Zhang family, which was a proud thing.

Secondly, Li Zhiyuan secretly told her that Li Zimo and Li Jiaojiao were his own flesh and blood, and that the man surnamed Sun was cuckolded by him.

When Mrs. Li heard this, how could she not be happy, especially when she saw a grandson like Li Zimo, she loved him so much.

Because of her love for Li Jiaojiao, even though she was a maid, she was also very much loved by her.

Moreover, Li Jiaojiao is not only sweet-mouthed, but also dug up ginseng, bought her cloth and shoes, and even said yesterday that she would buy her a silver hairpin. How could Mrs. Li not like her?

But no matter how much she liked Zhang Shuiniang and her son, she couldn't accept that Li Jiaojiao took the money!

And it’s such a huge sum of money!

The family’s money has always been managed by Li Zhiyuan. So when Li Jiaojiao dug up ginseng and sold it for two hundred taels, she naturally thought that the money had been handed over to Li Zhiyuan.

Now it seems that not only has the money not been handed over, but perhaps all of the Li family's assets are controlled by this mother and her two sons.

Mrs. Li revealed the truth. Although Li Jiaojiao only cared about her own money, all the money of the Li family was handed over to Zhang Shuiniang by Li Zhiyuan.

"Zhiyuan, tell me clearly, has the two hundred taels always been in the possession of this loser? And what about the money at home? Did you give it all to her?"

Li Zhiyuan's face darkened.

Li Jiaojiao couldn't believe that the always kind-hearted Mrs. Li would say such a thing. Her face turned cold:

"Of course I keep the money I earn myself. My mother keeps my father's money. What's wrong with that? My mother is the mistress of the family, so it's natural for her to manage the money."

Mrs. Li's eyes went dark:

"This is outrageous! Whose money isn't taken by the elderly? I let Zhiyuan take it because he spends a lot and needs it for both going out and coming in. Whose young woman takes care of money as soon as she enters the family?"

"Besides, you spent money recklessly! That was two hundred taels, and you actually bought a piece of broken jade? You even sent me some cloth last time, so you used our Li family's money? You are a spendthrift!"

As he said this he raised his hand.

Li Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed and she pushed her away.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Li fell to the ground and pointed at her: "You..."

"Jiaojiao, are you okay?"

“Jiaojiao!”

Two shouts rang out at the same time. Li Zimo and Li Zhiyuan rushed over and looked at Li Jiaojiao with concern: "Are you hurt?"

Mrs. Li: “…”

Granny Li was about to burst into tears. She let out a loud cry and sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying, "This is so unfair! The granddaughter hit her grandmother, and she was protected after the beating! Unfilial thing——"

"Mom!!!" Li Zhiyuan roared.

Mrs. Li's cries and curses were choked in her throat. She looked up and saw Li Zhiyuan looking down at her grimly:

"I'm already annoyed enough, can you please stop making trouble?"

"I'm here to make it clear to you! Shui Niang is the person I love the most, Jiao Jiao and Zi Mo are also my most beloved children. If anyone dares to bully them, I will never forgive her!!!"

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

"Also." Li Zhiyuan continued, "From now on, Shui Niang will keep all the money in the family. If you don't like it, our family will move out. If you are still not satisfied, I will marry into the Zhang family, and from now on, we will have no relationship."

"Dad..." Li Jiaojiao and Li Zimo looked at him with touched expressions.

She always knew that her father would not let them suffer any injustice.

Who would have thought that not only would he not let them suffer any injustice, but he would also protect them so much.

Mrs. Li's head was buzzing. She never expected him to say such words. She felt angry and sad.

The son whom she cherished so dearly actually treated her like this...

Mrs. Li cried and turned around and ran out.

This was no big deal. In the past, Ye Shi never dared to say a word back, and even those two little girls let her beat and scold them.

Li Zhiyuan looked at Li Jiaojiao and asked, "She didn't hit you just now, did she?"

"No, wuwu... Dad loves me the most!" Li Jiaojiao said, then threw herself into his arms and started crying.

Since she was born, no one has ever been so kind to her except her mother and brother.

Even their biological father was a gambler. Whenever he was unhappy, he would beat and scold them.

Li Zhiyuan smiled and patted her little head, saying gently: "Alright, alright. Don't worry, as long as I, Li Zhiyuan, am here, I won't let anyone bully you."

Li Jiaojiao nodded while sobbing.

At this time, Zhang Shuiniang walked in with a cold face.

He glanced at the three of them, opened the closet without saying a word, and took out the clothes one by one.

"Shui Niang...what are you doing?" Li Zhiyuan was stunned.

Zhang Shui Niang glanced at him coldly: "I know everything, and you actually went to find Ye."

"What did you say when you proposed marriage? You said you would never be involved with the Ye family again, and that I was the only one in your heart and eyes. You are breaking your oath now... What do you think of me, Zhang Shui Niang?"

Then he smiled coldly: "If Jiaojiao and Zimo hadn't liked you and kept persuading me, I wouldn't have married you."

Li Zhiyuan was anxious: "Shui Niang, I have my reasons..."

Zhang Shuiniang didn't listen. One of them threw the clothes away while the other picked them up and put them back in the closet.

Finally, Zhang Shuiniang was tired and sat down on the chair, turned her head and wiped her tears.

Li Jiaojiao then said, "Don't be angry, mother. It's not that Dad wants to find that Ye family member. It's me who likes the jade that Ye family member has, and I forced Dad to buy it."

"And that bastard born by Ye actually ruined Dad's reputation in the county. Let's go and ask for an explanation. We didn't say anything because we were afraid that Mom would worry."

Having said that, he recounted what had happened.

Li Zhiyuan coaxed her for another half an hour, making her kneel and swear an oath, before Zhang Shuiniang curled her lips and smiled.

Li Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Shui Niang's temper was really difficult to deal with, but he just loved her so much that he couldn't help himself.

In fact, Zhang Shuiniang was not angry at all.

But Li Zhiyuan had sworn to her before that he would never see Ye again.

But the incident in Qinghe Village was known to everyone, and she couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Of course, she also knew that Li Zhiyuan was looking for Ye not to reunite but to settle accounts.

But if she didn't make trouble with Li Zhiyuan, wouldn't it seem that she had no temper?

Her pride wouldn't allow her to give up, so she deliberately lost her temper and made a small fuss.
