Li Erlang left the ox cart at the store and led a few people into the alley.

A few people stood in front of the door and seemed to be able to hear the laughter in the yard.

Li Xiaomei raised her hand, wanting to knock on the door, raised it and then put it down again, hesitating for a long time, and finally made up her mind to knock on the gate.

Soon the door slowly opened from the inside, and a woman with a pregnant belly and a beautiful smile appeared in front of Li Xiaomei. The woman looked at the group of people standing outside the door with a little hesitation.

Liu Zhong seemed to see that the woman had not returned for a long time, and a voice came from behind him: "Qingniang, is the man who brought firewood here?" while walking towards the door.

When Liu Zhong saw the person standing at the door, panic appeared on his face.

Li Xiaomei was staring at the woman's belly with tears in her eyes.

Liu Zhongqiang calmly walked over to Li Xiaomei and asked, "Why don't you just stay home? Why are you running around?"

The woman beside him seemed to sense something, climbed onto Liu Zhong's arm, and slowly said, "Is this my sister?"

Then he slowly knelt down in front of Li Xiaomei and said, "Sister, please don't blame Brother Zhong. Brother Zhong saw that I was alone and helpless, so he gave me a place to stay! Please help me, sister!"

Li Xiaomei's inner fantasy was shattered after hearing her words. She trembled and said, "You..."

Liu Zhong felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He had originally planned to place Qing Niang in this alley so that he could come here to take a short rest when he was free. Now that he was caught by his wife and her family, it was obviously impossible to maintain the status quo.

Liu Zhong stepped forward and coaxed, "You also know that my family has been a single-line family for three generations. Now Qingniang is pregnant with my child, so please be more tolerant!"

When Li Xiaomei heard him say this, her emotions got out of control. She rushed forward and pushed the woman regardless of everything. Liu Zhong protected the woman behind him and pushed his wife backhand, causing Li Xiaomei to stagger and almost fall. Fortunately, she was caught by her eldest brother who was standing behind her.

The angry Li Dalang raised his fist and was about to attack, but was stopped by Li Erlang who was standing nearby.

Li Erlang stepped forward and said to Liu Zhong, "My younger sister has been working diligently all these years since she married into your family, and now you are embarrassing her like this. Our family will not let this go so easily!"

Because of the commotion just now, some people around came out to watch the fun.

Afraid of being talked about, Liu Zhong had to show weakness and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, please speak first. It's not good to be talked about by others."

Li Erlang sneered, "You still care about your reputation? Since you've done something so shameful to my sister, don't blame us for not giving you face. You must give our Li family an explanation!"

At this time, the woman hiding behind Liu Zhong suddenly held her stomach and cried out in pain. Liu Zhong didn't care about the people present and carried Qingniang to the room.

Seeing that her husband completely ignored her, Li Xiaomei was heartbroken and collapsed to the ground.

Worried about his sister's condition, Li Dalang stepped forward and picked up his sister.

Liu Zhong watched the people leave from the window and couldn't help feeling relieved.

At this time, Qingniang was nestled in Liu Zhong's room and said nervously, "It's all my fault. I brought trouble to Brother Zhong! Let me go and apologize to my sister! Ask her to give me a place to stay." As she spoke, tears as big as beans slid down her cheeks, and she looked so pitiful.

Liu Zhong comforted her: "Take good care of your pregnancy. I will not let you down when the baby is born!"

Here, Li Erlang and his group walked out of the alley. Li Yan looked at her aunt who was in a daze and didn't know how to comfort her.

Although the Li family is not rich, they take great care of their only daughter. When she was at home, the little aunt was playful and cute, but now, in just a few years, she has become much more haggard. It can be seen how the Liu family raised their aunt.

Li Yan looked at her aunt with red and swollen eyes, and stroked her back with heartache. No one else could persuade her about this kind of thing, and she could only hope that she could see it more clearly.
