Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Liu Zhong, who didn't hear the answer, continued, "You may be angry with me, or you may really want a divorce. I invited the clan leader to your house today to discuss matters. But why are you here?"
Li Xiaomei was confused at this time. Didn’t her brother ask someone to invite her to the town?
Clan leader Liu retorted, "Young people are too impulsive. They want to divorce at the drop of a hat. Are you kidding me?"
Liu Zhong nodded in agreement and walked to the shore.
The look he gave Li Xiaomei was full of coldness, without any trace of the warmth he had shown when he spoke just now!
Li Xiaomei had no idea what to do at the moment. She didn't want to get close to this person anymore and subconsciously grabbed her clothes tightly.
Liu Zhong stood on the shore and ordered Zhou Dalang to dock the boat. Li Xiaomei reflexively pulled Zhou Dalang's clothes and shook her head earnestly.
Seeing Li Xiaomei's behavior, Liu Zhong was furious and said coldly: "Li Xiaomei, we haven't divorced yet. If you behave like this now, you are not a faithful wife. I can divorce you immediately!"
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, a voice was heard: "Dream on!"
I saw a boat coming from the front, and the people on the boat were the Li brothers.
Hearing the sound, Li Xiaomei quickly turned her head and looked forward. Not far away from her, a boat was rowing towards her.
The Li brothers were standing at the bow of the boat. Seeing that it was her brother, Li Xiaomei couldn't help but relax. She had been holding on tightly, but when she saw her family member, she couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the boat!
Seeing their little sister suddenly fall down, the Li brothers were anxious. Zhou Bo simply rowed the boat to the side of his son's boat so that the Li brothers could check on their sister's condition.
Li Erlang helped his younger sister up, and seeing that she was just exhausted, he handed her over to his elder brother.
He stood up and faced Liu Zhong.
When Liu Zhong saw the Li brothers, he was surprised. He glanced at the old beggar lying beside him, who had already died, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhong said to Li Erlang, "Your sister is soaking wet and staying with a strange man. If this isn't unvirtuous of a woman, what is it? What's wrong with me divorcing him?"
Li Erlang said coldly, "Why is my sister here today? Who caused her to become like this? Don't you know best?"
Liu Zhong, hearing Li Erlang's words, felt guilty and said, "Are you kidding me? I was standing here at the dock with Chief Liu. Your sister, disheveled and chased by a beggar, jumped into the river in panic. What has it to do with me?"
"I'd like to ask Li Xiaomei, you've only been home for a few days, and you're already acting like a virtuous woman. How am I going to face my shame if this gets out to others?"
Li Erlang sneered inwardly, he was really good at turning the tables.
At this time, Clan Leader Liu also stepped forward and said, "Li Jia's Erlang is a bit biased. Zhong'er was indeed standing at this dock with me, and the boatmen on this river can all testify to this!"
Li Erlang sneered at Chief Liu and said, "Head Chief, he means well, but I don't know if you've been deceived by him, too!"
After saying that, he waved towards the old fisherman's boat, and a boy came over!
Li Erlang said to the boy, "Tell everyone what you said to me today!"
It turned out that the boy was Dayong, the man Li Erlang had hired some time ago. Thanks to the money Li Erlang had given him, he no longer had to go hungry.
Thinking of the time when he was wandering here and another little beggar helped him, Dayong bought some food from the market and planned to take it to thank the little beggar.
