Chapter 96: Poor and Head-Buzzing

Qin Miaoyu didn't pursue the matter any further. She looked at the beggar on the ground with a deep frown on her face.

"Xiaoxue, let's take him to the hospital!"

Her maid was about to pull her up.

Li Jiaojiao suddenly saw the beggar's beautiful jawline and tightly closed eyes under his dirty hair...

Although it is dirty, it cannot suppress the exquisiteness of the outline.

If he washes himself clean, he must be a handsome man!

Li Jiaojiao was in a playful mood: "Wait, this lady wants to send him to the clinic? But the doctors in the clinic will not treat a beggar with all their heart. Why don't I take him back and treat him slowly!"

Qin Miaoyu was just saving someone casually, and seeing that Li Jiaojiao was willing to take her away, she did not stop her: "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."

After saying this, he left with his maid.

"This, this, this..." Li Zhiyuan and Zhang Shuiniang walked over with confused looks on their faces.

Li Zhiyuan said: "Jiaojiao, you just said you wanted to take him home?"

"uh-huh!"

"But... the lady just now said she would treat him. Let's just let her do it. Why do we have to take on this trouble?"

Li Jiaojiao's face tightened: "Why, I can't even pick up a beggar and take him home?"

Li Zhiyuan's mouth twitched slightly. This is not a question of whether it works or not...

"Of course not. Dad knows you are kind, but this kind of beggar should be sent to the hospital. There is no need to take him home. What if he refuses to leave?"

Li Jiaojiao's face darkened: "If you refuse to leave, I'll keep you. Humph, since I, Li Jiaojiao, have done it, I will bear the consequences."

As she spoke, a hint of determination and arrogance flashed in her eyes.

Li Zhiyuan choked. Zhang Shuiniang stepped forward and pouted: "Why? We are a family of scholars, but we can't even support a beggar?"

Li Zhiyuan looked embarrassed and said anxiously: "No, I can afford it naturally."

The Zhang family is a wealthy family. It would be easy for them to support not only one beggar, but even ten.

He had finally managed to marry Shui Niang, how could he let her think that he was incompetent!

Moreover, seeing the determination and arrogance in Li Jiaojiao's eyes, Li Zhiyuan was also somewhat infected and convinced, and sighed helplessly:

"Forget it, if you like to raise it, just keep it!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Li Jiaojiao cheered.

Li Zhiyuan immediately went to the carriage shop to hire a donkey cart and took the beggar home.

Ye Caiping upstairs saw the whole scene.

Li Jiaojiao was indeed attracted by the male lead’s looks.

The book clearly states that Li Jiaojiao thought he was a handsome man at first sight, and thought it would be worthwhile to bring him home and look at him every day.

This is one of Li Jiaojiao’s cute points, her face control attribute.

A few years later, the two of them followed suit. Li Jiaojiao often talked about this incident and often said, "If I hadn't seen that you were pretty, I wouldn't have picked you up."

"If I had known you were so... bad! I shouldn't have snatched you away and let that guy named Qin take you home."

"Don't mention her to me. I only have Jiaojiao in my heart and eyes. Luckily Jiaojiao snatched me away that day, otherwise I would have been disgusted to death."

Qin Miaoyu is set up as a vicious female supporting role.

When the beggar male protagonist regained his identity, Qin Miaoyu learned that she was the first person to help the male protagonist, but in the end, the person was taken away by Li Jiaojiao!

Qin Miaoyu was filled with regret.

After arriving in Beijing, she pesters the male protagonist every day and does all kinds of evil things.

In the end, he was beaten to death by the male and female protagonists.

Thinking about these plots, Ye Caiping was beaming with joy.

She doesn't participate in this plot.

But it doesn't stop her from eating melons!

"I've never seen Li Zhiyuan so kind before. He was actually willing to pick up a beggar and take him home." Mrs. Du said while eating melon seeds.

"This is because he was blinded by Li Jiaojiao's halo as the protagonist." Ye Caiping said with a smile.

Wei: "What is the pig's trotter halo?"

Mrs. Du: "The big pig's trotters must be smooth and slippery to be delicious."

Wei: “That makes sense.”

…

Li Jiaojiao and her group of three returned home.

Mrs. Li was holding a broom and looking at the beggar who was pulled into the door by the donkey cart. She was completely stunned.

"Who is this? You guys are pulling a...dirty, rotten beggar?"

Li Jiaojiao sneered, pinching her waist and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Aren't beggars human beings? You are dirty and rotten, insulting people, are you polite?"

Li Jiaojiao has always been bold in love and hate. If others are good to her, she will return the favor tenfold.

If anyone steps on her, she will step back tenfold!

Ever since Mrs. Li cried last time, Li Jiaojiao saw through Mrs. Li completely.

From then on, she no longer considered Mrs. Li as a family member!

What elders? Li Jiaojiao won’t buy it.

"Really a beggar?" Mrs. Li let out a sharp explosion: "You spendthrift, you actually picked up a beggar and brought him home? You are committing a sin!"

"Can you scold me?" Li Jiaojiao sneered and looked at Li Zhiyuan: "Dad, look at her."

"Mom, Jiaojiao can do whatever she wants, and you should mind your own business!" Li Zhiyuan immediately defended her and stared coldly at Mrs. Li. "I told you that if you let them and the other two suffer any injustice, I will never forgive you!"

Mrs. Li choked, tears welled up in her eyes, she wanted to let them fall but didn't dare: "Zhiyuan... I, I am your mother!"

"I didn't do anything to her, so why are you holding me back? What did I say that was not true? Last time, she lost two hundred taels of silver. Her family was already struggling, and now she has picked up a beggar and brought him home? What the hell is going on?"

Li Jiaojiao sneered: "I earned those two hundred taels from digging ginseng, what does it have to do with you? I can spend it however I want!"

"Or does this family have to rely on those two hundred taels to survive? Dad can't support the family anymore?"

After these words were spoken, not only Mrs. Li, but even Li Zhiyuan froze in place.

Li Zhiyuan stared at Mrs. Li in shame and anger: "That matter has passed, don't mention it again. I can support this family."

It is impossible for Li Zhiyuan not to feel resentful about the two hundred taels.

But in the face of Li Jiaojiao and Zhang Shuiniang's disdainful looks, he dared not blame them.

But thinking about the little money left at home and a rotten beggar, Li Zhiyuan felt a little depressed.

Before he divorced her, Ye Caiping would go back to her parents' home to get some food and money when the family was short of money.

Now……

He couldn't let Shui Niang do this, otherwise how would the Zhang family look at him? She felt that he was a poor scholar, not presentable enough, and not worthy of Shui Niang.

Fortunately, he is a scholar now.

Relying on his title as a scholar, he annotated some books and sold them to study rooms and bookshops, earning about three or four taels of silver a month.

Of course, he can also teach.

But he still wanted to continue to take the imperial examinations. If he taught, he would have no time to go to school and study hard.

But he still had to pay his tuition, and Li Zimo also had to study...

Now raise another beggar...

Li Zhiyuan's head was buzzing, but as a man, he could not let his stepdaughter and beloved wife down.
