Unlike Li Yiyi and the others who remained unmoved, Ma Mei, who was lying on the ground, was extremely excited. Finally, the most crucial moment had arrived!
If she handles it well, she can successfully win over Li Yiyi.
She wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the strategy, but that's what Long Tian said, and Ma Mei firmly believed it wouldn't be a problem. She desperately wanted to succeed; she wanted to leave this suffocating home and forge her own path.
With a look of madness in her eyes, Ma Mei waited for the time to come.
Outside the house, Li Hun, who had been waiting for a long time, also arrived at Li Yi's house. Looking at the place he had entered once or twice before, Li Hun's eyes lit up with a red gleam.
Soon, very soon this place would belong to him. Thinking of Long Tian, Li Hun made a special trip to see him.
Long Tian was still getting ready inside, frowning. Li Hun felt something was off. According to what Long Tian had discussed with Ma Mei, shouldn't Long Tian have arrived much earlier?
Why hasn't Long Tian left yet? A thought flashed through Li Hun's mind, and his expression changed drastically.
Oh no, how could he forget that Ma Mei picked up a second-hand system? In a sense, she is also a strategist, and her target is Li Yiyi.
What's the difference between conspiring with Long Tian and conspiring with Li Su? Thinking of this, Li Hun became extremely anxious.
Even the best plan will be greatly reduced in effectiveness if the timing is not seized.
Forcing himself to calm down, Li Hun stared at the door in front of him, his eyes filled with a desperate ruthlessness.
Inside the house, after lecturing Li Yiyi for a while, Ma's mother finally got to the point.
"Cough cough"
After coughing twice in a mock manner, Madam Ma sat up straight, still holding the book containing the Ma family rules upside down.
"Li Yiyi, listen carefully. To become a daughter-in-law of the Ma family, firstly, you must dress simply, preferably with no more than five cents worth of clothes. Secondly, you must eat simply, in order to train your will and physical strength."
“You need to get up at five o’clock every day and prepare the food my son likes. My son can’t live without meat, so you’d better buy two pounds of meat every day, fatty meat, not lean meat. As for your dad and me, I like heavy salt and less spice, while your dad likes heavy spice and less salt. You need to remember that.”
"Secondly, regarding accommodation, my son prefers large rooms. Once you can serve my son, your room will be his room. Apart from that, you must inform me every time you want to sleep together, and you must not seduce my son."
The following sentence was added by Ma's mother on a whim; seeing Li Yiyi's beautiful appearance, Ma's mother feared that Li Yiyi would bewitch Ma Facai.
"All of that is best done later. The most important thing is coming up: for your son's health, you need to..."
Seeing that Ma's mother was saying increasingly outrageous things, Ma Mei feared it would backfire, so she suddenly jumped up from the ground.
To Li Yiyi and the others' astonishment, he rushed to Ma's mother and knelt down on the ground.
With a "thump",
It sounded painful, and Li Yiyi, not knowing what Ma Mei was up to, quietly took out the stick and then put it back.
There's nothing she can do; every time she's about to take action, someone always manages to distract her.
"Mom, can you please stop talking? I've really had enough."
To avoid being attacked by her mother, Ma Mei quickly jumped up from the ground after saying this.
Her dexterity was even greater than a monkey's; if Li Yi hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted whether Ma Mei was a completely different person.
Just moments ago, Ma Mei was lying half-dead on the ground, but suddenly she could jump up. To put it another way, that wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Li Yi..."
Just as Ma Mei was about to reach out and grab Li Yiyi, Li Yiyi swiftly dodged her hand, and for a moment Ma Mei's expression twisted in pain.
Behind me was Ma's mother's large hand; if I didn't move aside, she would grab me, and if she did, I would definitely get a beating. For my own sake...
Ma Mei dodged her mother's hand and ran towards another part of the living room.
"Ma Mei, you little slut, stop right there!"
He slammed on the brakes, and Ma's mother chased after Ma Mei. Ma's father quickly joined the chase; Ma Facai wouldn't do anything that would lower his status.
So he sat down with a long face, coldly staring at Ma Mei with a look full of malice.
Ma Mei was running ahead, chased by two men. Gradually, Ma Mei began to feel tired. She knew that if she continued running endlessly, she would definitely be caught.
She had been paying some attention to Li Yiyi, but seeing that Li Yiyi remained unmoved and even started eating sunflower seeds, Ma Mei almost spat out blood.
"Li Yiyi".
This time, Ma Mei didn't pause, and poured out the words she had memorized a thousand times in her mind.
“Li Yiyi, as your classmate, I really can’t bear to see you being deceived. My parents are lying to you. They just want your family’s property. In order to make you willingly marry Ma Facai, my parents deliberately went to your grandfather’s workplace to block him.”
“Ma Mei, shut your mouth, you slut! I’ll skin you alive when I catch you!”
In her anger, Ma's mother was only focused on preventing Ma Mei from revealing everything, and had completely forgotten...
It was Ma Mei who initially suggested they target Grandpa Jiang; it was Ma Mei who spoke highly of Li Yi's family, luring them to their home on purpose.
Enraged, Ma's father and Ma Mei sped up considerably. Ma Mei wanted to go faster too, but she was truly exhausted; the kick Ma's father had given her earlier had really hurt.
With no other option, Ma Mei had to climb up the wall.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Mei was upstairs. Li Yiyi looked at the smooth wall and stared at Ma Mei in amazement.
What an amazing person! To be able to climb a wall barefoot without any support is truly incredible.
For the first time, Li Yiyi witnessed what the will to survive truly meant.
Ma Mei was stuck on the wall, and her father and she couldn't get up. There was nothing around for them to grab onto, so they could only roar helplessly from below.
Taking a short breath, Ma Mei continued speaking, knowing that she didn't have much time left.
“Li Yiyi, everything I said is true. As for the Ma family rules, they were all made up by my parents to control you. They can’t read, so they made me teach them over and over again. When I refused, they beat and scolded me. Li Yiyi, look, my body is covered in wounds.”
When she lifted her sleeve, there was nothing on her dark yellow skin. Ma Mei was dumbfounded. Where were the scars she had drawn beforehand?
Looking at her clothes, Ma Mei realized that the paint used to draw the scratches must have gotten on her clothes during the run.
"Ma Mei, don't you have a conscience? When have I ever hurt you?"
Ma's mother wasn't lying. Although she wasn't kind to Ma Mei, she didn't hit her hard, because she knew that it would be difficult for a girl to find a family if she had scars on her body.
If Ma Mei can't find a good family, how can that help Ma Facai?
Based on this, Ma Mei rarely laid a hand on Ma Mei. If she really got angry, she would just use a thin, long stick to rub against her. Ma's father would also be persuaded to stop, and the two of them agreed on how Ma Mei got the scars.
Ma Mei was slandering them. Being slandered, Ma's father and mother were furious. Ma Mei had ruined their plans first and then defamed them. Overwhelmed by both old and new grudges, Ma's mother directly dragged Ma's father onto the wall.
