A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
The constable retorted, "They can guarantee that they will strictly follow what's written above! Why do you insist on their guarantee?"
Li Haisheng choked on his words. Of course, he didn't believe the Mo family would treat his daughter well! He did this to ensure his daughter grew up healthy and to prevent the Mo family from demanding money for raising her!
However, he dared not say these words. If he did, the police might make a big deal out of it and suspect him, dragging him into the yamen for questioning. That would be the end of him!
The Mo family was just imitating him. If he says it's unreasonable, then it means that what was written back then was also unreasonable. If we keep arguing about it, we might have to pay the Mo family a large sum of money for raising them!
Not worth it! Not worth it!
Since the Mo family didn't mention paying compensation, but only said they would sever all ties and have no further involvement, the Li family shouldn't make trouble. If they can't do that, then they won't lose out. They should just accept their good fortune and call it a day!
Having figured it out, Li Haisheng readily signed and affixed his fingerprint. He didn't have to raise his daughter; the Li family was the ones who profited!
Seeing the constables there, Mo Yunmei didn't dare to say a word. Even though she was extremely unwilling, she could only watch helplessly as they handed her over to her father.
The constable glanced at Old Lady Li one last time, his feigned hesitation setting off alarm bells in Li Haisheng's mind.
"Officer, we've accepted our daughter back. We'll treat her well. The Mo family will have nothing to do with the Li family from now on. We promise we won't bother them! You're in a hurry to get back, so I won't keep you any longer. Let me see you out!"
The two constables exchanged a glance, nodded, and turned to leave. Their mission was complete, and they departed.
The Mo family followed the constable out of the Li family's house, thanked the constable, got into the oxcart, and left before the constable.
After the constables came out, they deliberately slowed down and glanced back at the Li family. Li Haisheng was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. "Don't look anymore, let's get out of here!"
The constable dawdled for a while, and only after seeing that the Mo family had gone far away did he mount his horse, turn around and give Li Haisheng a warning before riding away.
Li Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief after finally seeing everyone off, but when he turned around and saw Mo Yunmei standing dejectedly by the courtyard gate, his anger flared up again.
What a useless piece of trash!
They asked him to bring them the recipe for the Mo family's breakfast business, but there was no news for a long time. In addition, he was somehow caught in a sack and beaten up for no reason!
He thought he had offended someone. He often harassed young women, which made him afraid to go out for half a month. Later, when things calmed down, he became bolder and went out again.
When he went to see his daughter again, she asked him if he had prepared a dowry for her.
The dowry was prepared, but it had all been sold off long ago! It was something that Zhou had brought with her before she died, and she emphasized that it should be left to her daughter as part of her dowry.
I didn't want to do anything, but my family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. So I had the idea of selling a small item to get through the crisis. But it got out of control and I ended up selling them all!
I didn't dare tell my daughter, so I could only vaguely explain it away and pretend to be poor, hoping to get some money from the Mo family. Unfortunately, they had nothing!
Later, he had the idea of marrying his daughter off from the Mo family. He deliberately mentioned it, hoping to make his daughter cry and feel sorry for him, so that the Mo family would soften their hearts and give her more money!
He didn't want to get caught in a sack and beaten up again. The beating was really fierce, but the person didn't say a word the whole time. After the beating, they left, leaving him with no clue as to who it was. He ended up lying in bed for half a month to recover.
Li Haisheng felt that his daughter was no good, and he listened to his mother's words, believing that his daughter was a jinx who would bring bad luck to whoever she met!
So Li Haisheng gave up the idea of recognizing his daughter. Even though he knew today was the day they had agreed on, he still ran away and hid. If his mother hadn't analyzed it and realized that hiding wasn't a good idea, he wouldn't have come back at all!
Now that she has been sent back, the Mo family has even written a document severing all ties. It is clear that this daughter has not won the favor of the Mo family at all, nor has she received any dowry from them!
I only managed to pick up two pieces of clothing, that's really something!
The Mo family is not what it used to be. I heard their breakfast business is booming, and they must have a lot of money. If their daughter knows how to handle things, she can definitely get a lot of good stuff back!
She's just as stupid as her mother!
Mo Yunmei could see it clearly. She knew that her father looked down on her for being useless. Her mind was in turmoil, and she still couldn't accept the Li family. She had no intention of paying attention to her father's feelings.
Li Haisheng knew perfectly well that he had originally intended to vent his anger by cursing, but when he turned around and saw his mother sitting slumped on the ground, looking utterly dejected, he changed the subject.
"Go pack your things yourself. There's no room for you in the house. You came back so suddenly and we weren't prepared, so you'll have to stay in the woodshed for now!"
Li Haisheng wasn't in the mood to deal with Mo Yunmei; he needed to take care of his mother's affairs first.
He suddenly felt exhausted. His daughter was useless, and his mother had become a burden. She was now in a daze. He hoped she wouldn't go crazy!
The Li family is now impoverished and has no extra money to buy medicine!
With one less worker and one more idiot, the Li family is in a tough spot!
Who can help take care of his two younger sons? Who will look after his daily needs?
So right now, I'm the priority!
Fortunately, Grandma Li was alright; she was just a little depressed and sad, so she didn't need to spend money to see a doctor.
But when Old Lady Li saw that only Mo Yunmei was left in the yard, she got angry and looked at her son, "How could you let her stay? She's a jinx, she's caused so much trouble as soon as she came back, how can she ever have peace in the future?"
Mo Yunmei, no, she should be called Li Yunmei now. She wanted to try to get a room in the house. She didn't want to sleep in the woodshed, so she stayed. She wanted to talk to Li Haisheng again and didn't want Old Lady Li to see her.
Li Yunmei could sense the old lady's disgust and hatred towards her, and seeing that her father didn't help her either, she felt extremely wronged.
She had been in the Mo family for over ten years and had never been insulted like this before. The Mo family would occasionally scold her, but they would never call her a jinx or anything like that with disgust, let alone try to kick her out!
Without comparison, there is no harm; Li Yunmei regretted it.
What happens to Li Yunmei in the future is her own business; the Mo family will no longer concern themselves with her.
They drove their oxcart home happily, chatting and laughing all the way.
Qin's tone became much more cheerful. "Let's go back today and have a good meal to celebrate getting rid of the Li family. What do you think?"
Grandma Mo felt much relieved to have finally accomplished something that had weighed on her mind for years. She nodded in agreement with her eldest daughter-in-law's idea, "That's right! We're happy today, so let's buy some good food to celebrate and get rid of any bad luck!"
The others naturally had no objections; indeed, a farewell ceremony should be held to properly bid farewell to the past.
"Mom, let's go back to town and take a look. If we see anything suitable, we'll buy it!"
