A slap landed on Li Fuyi's head, causing her to fall to the ground, completely unprepared.
"Mother, how dare you hit me?"
The venomous gaze, as if coated with poison, vanished in the blink of an eye. Wang Yiting saw it and shuddered violently. Li Laosan caught her as she fell backward.
He also saw the look in Li Fuyi's eyes. Although he already knew from Wang Yiting that Li Fuyi was ruthless, he himself was also aware of it.
The impact of seeing it with one's own eyes was far more stimulating than any words. Li Laosan realized once again that the useless Li Fuyi had to get out of this house.
"Smack!"
A louder round of applause erupted; it was Li Laosan who gave the clapping.
Unlike Wang Yiting, who was weak and whose slaps didn't hurt much, Li Laosan used all his strength in this one slap, and blood immediately flowed from the corner of Li Fuyi's mouth.
Her face was swollen, and before Li Fuyi could say a word, Li Laosan began his attack.
"Li Fuyi, your mother and I raised you with such hardship, and how dare you speak to your mother like that? Don't you have any conscience at all? Did a dog eat your conscience?"
“Speak when I tell you to. What are you dawdling for? Go outside and see who doesn’t know your name, Li Fuyi? You’ve been engaged twice and cursed two fiancés. Li Fuyi, your reputation is ruined. Wu Chi is willing to marry you. What else do you have to say?”
“Your mother and I are doing this for your own good, can’t you see that! With your personality, you don’t even know how much you’ll suffer in the future. Alright, your mother and I have decided on your relationship with Wu Chi, and you have no say in it.”
These words from Li Laosan were both familiar and pathetic, strikingly similar to what Li Laotai had once said.
After Li Laosan finished speaking, Li Fuyi no longer wanted to pretend and wanted to resist, but she forgot that her small body was no match for Li Laosan and Wang Yiting.
She forgot that she was no longer the Li Fuyi she once was.
"Get lost, and you'd better know your place."
Before Li Fuyi could even stand up, she was kicked in the face by Li Laosan. The force of the kick sent her staggering backward a considerable distance.
"Master, it's outrageous to lock Li Fuyi up in her room and then hold a banquet for her and Wu Chi tomorrow."
"Father, I understand."
Times have changed. The head of the Li family is no longer the doting second brother to Li Fuyi. The love he once had has been worn away by the hardships of life.
Li Fuyi refused to go, so the head of the Li family grabbed a rag from the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and dragged her away.
Throughout the entire farce, Li Wuchi didn't utter a single word. On the contrary, when he saw the third son of the Li family, the head of the Li family, brutally treating Li Fuyi, a strange light appeared in Li Wuchi's eyes.
“Wu Chi, we’ve spoiled Fu Yi since she was little. Don’t try to persuade her. From now on, it’s up to you two to live your own lives. If Fu Yi does anything wrong, you can teach her yourself.”
"Uncle Li, I will teach you well."
This time, Li Wuchi didn't object and readily agreed. He promised to not only teach Li Fuyi well, but also Li Laosan and the others.
Li Fuyi did make mistakes, but who was to blame? It was Li Laosan and Wang Yiting who didn't teach her well. He personally taught her without charging her anything, which was already a great favor to Li Laosan and Wang Yiting.
"Okay, okay."
The three consecutive "good"s showed that Li Laosan was genuinely satisfied with Li Wuchi's attitude and happy that he had finally gotten rid of Li Fuyi, this burden, from the family.
"Cough cough"
"Wu Chi, take a look at where you and Fu Yi will live after you get married. You know, Third Uncle..."
“Of course I’ll live here, Uncle Li, you haven’t forgotten, have you? The money your family borrowed from me to build the house back then, and you still haven’t paid it back. Doesn’t that mean this house is mine too?”
Interrupting Li Laosan, Li Wuchi understood the implication in Li Laosan's words: he simply didn't want him to stay any longer.
He didn't do as Li Laosan wished. Another point is that, having left, he had nowhere to go; there was probably no place for him with Li Daqiang and the others.
A flash of pain crossed Li Wuchi's eyes; his hatred for Li Fuyi only intensified.
If Li Fuyi hadn't deceived his feelings, he wouldn't have wanted to go to the production team. If he hadn't gone to the production team, he would still be a complete person and wouldn't have been abandoned by Li Daqiang and the others.
"this..."
Li Wuchi was telling the truth, but Li Laosan was unwilling. Their goal was to get rid of Li Wuchi; if Li Wuchi didn't leave, what was the point of this marriage?
"Uncle Li, you're not going to renege on your promise, are you?!"
He stared at Li Laosan with a sinister gaze, like a demon crawling out of an abyss, threatening to devour him completely, leaving not even bones behind.
"No, no, how could Uncle deny it? It's just that Uncle thinks it's not appropriate for you to still live here after you and Fuyi got married."
Not daring to directly retort, Li Laosan gave a subtle hint, and Li Wuchi stiffly managed a forced smile.
“Third Uncle, just say so if you want me to move out. I’m willing to do it. As long as you return the money you borrowed from me and the things I gave to your family over the years, I, Li Wuchi, will move out immediately without you having to say anything.”
Before her smile could fully bloom, Li Wuchi's words froze her in place.
Pay back the money.
If he had money, Li Fuyi wouldn't have gone to such lengths to extract things from Li Wuchi all these years.
To reiterate, if those later events hadn't occurred, Li Wuchi would have been the most capable son-in-law he valued.
“Wu Chi, why don’t you and Fu Yi move out first? Your third uncle will pay back the money he owes you slowly.”
Regardless, Li Wuchi had to leave. He needed to start arranging a marriage for the Li family head. Leaving Li Wuchi and Li Fuyi at home was risky; who knew what kind of trouble might arise?
If they don't arrange a marriage soon, Li Laosan worries that one day the head of the Li family will end up like Li Jiamin, going in without any warning and never coming out again.
It's more likely that the head of the Li family isn't as successful as Li Jiamin; Li Laosan is genuinely worried about what will happen if he has no descendants.
With a child, even if the head of the Li family gets into trouble, he will still have some comfort and hope.
"Third Uncle, what you said is a good method."
Li Wuchi nodded, and Li Laosan's face relaxed slightly, but the next second, it shattered.
"How about this, Uncles, you move out first, and the house will be given to you once you've paid off the loan."
Li Laosan was about to get angry, but Li Wuchi's words made him freeze in place.
"Third Uncle, you'd better think this through. I'm not the same Li Wuchi I used to be. To me, Li Fuyi is nothing more than this."
Li Wuchi gestured towards Li Laosan, then smiled and returned to Zhou Gangshu's room.
Soon, a cacophony of noises erupted from inside the house, and neither Li Laosan nor Wang Yiting dared to move.
Li Wuchi has gone completely insane.
With a creak, the door opened, and Li Wuchi emerged from inside, looking perfectly normal.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, I'm going to prepare the things we'll need for tomorrow."
A strange smile appeared on Li Wuchi's lips as he took a deep look at the room where Li Fuyi was.
His sister Fu Yi is really naughty. She dares to be alone in a room with Zhou Gangshu, a man and a woman, even though they are not married.
