Yuan and Xingzi were startled by the sudden voice, and then they began to realize what the other party said.
I wanted to refute, but I felt that what the other person said seemed to be right, and I was at a loss as to what to do with the money in my hand.
Li Tian's face suddenly showed anger and embarrassment. She rushed to the door angrily and kicked it hard:
"Get lost! Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in our affairs!"
"Hey! How can you talk like that, kid! I'm doing this for your own good, right?
So that you don’t lose track of what’s inside and what’s outside and end up getting hurt again!”
The man outside the door spoke in a noisy voice and sounded familiar, like Li Tian's second uncle.
There was also a woman's voice that stopped them and said:
"That's enough! Just keep your mouth shut! Tian'er is happy. There's nothing wrong with making friends."
The man mumbled something and shut up, and the woman continued:
"Tian'er, your uncle won't say any more. Please open the door quickly. We will go in and talk to you slowly."
Li Tian trembled with anger and shouted:
"I have nothing to say to you! Get out! Get out now!"
The woman was not angry, she spoke softly:
"What are you yelling for, kid? Mother and your second uncle know that you are not happy, but you are not a child anymore, you have to get married eventually.
You can't live alone in an empty house your whole life.
Open the door, I will talk to you slowly. Think about it carefully and tell me whatever is on your mind. It will be fine once we talk it out.
Your fiancé, although he is a little bit stupid, his family conditions are still good. You can go and meet him and get to know him better. If you are not satisfied, then we can talk about it later."
The woman seemed to have something to discuss. Li Tian was so angry that she could not speak. She said coldly:
"Who is my fiancé? Where can I get a fiancé? Just find one for me and I will follow him, right? Do I have to marry him?"
Her second uncle was always unhappy and said:
"Who do you want to marry, then?"
Li Tian: "I won't marry him no matter who I marry! I will never marry him even if I live alone for the rest of my life!
It's not like I can't pay the poll tax, or make money! I can just live my life by myself and it won't bother anyone!
Why would you spend your whole life serving a fool? "
The woman then became a little angry:
"How can you be independent for the rest of your life? Their family is well off, and how can you compare with the little money you make? And they don't have any other children.
By then, all this money will be yours, and if you have another child, you will have someone to rely on when you are old."
Li Tian was not moved at all: "I don't need it, if you like it, go ahead and marry me! Serving a fool is not enough, I have to give birth to a child to serve him, am I sick?
What do you mean the money will be mine sooner or later? Who knows if it will be sooner or later? It's no use talking big! You ask them to hand over the money to me right away. Do you think they will be happy?
When the time comes, I will still have to ask others for money when I spend it. No matter how nice the man says, he still relies on me to serve him.
They can't say nice things, and they can't do considerate things. They have money because their family has money. What does it have to do with me?"
The second uncle said angrily:
"They have servants at home, so at most they ask you to look after them a little. Besides, you are useless and have nothing. Why are you so picky?
If you are not willing to serve others, don't you have to do this and that to live on your own? Why are you pretending to be a spoiled lady?
And making money, bah!
You can only make snacks, and you can only make a living by earning so little money. Why do you pretend to be so confident? If something happens to you or you get sick, you won’t be able to afford the treatment!”
Li Tian spat, "I am willing to wait for death, what's it to you?
I am happy and pleased to work for myself, so what's the point of working for others? He is so rich, so he just lets servants serve him. What kind of wife did he marry!
I won't respond to anything you say! Get out of here! Get out of here right now!"
That second uncle is not afraid of boiling water:
"Go away? We're not leaving yet! Are you going to stay here forever?
The elders came to your house with good intentions to find a marriage for you, but you refused to meet them, no matter how hard you try, we are right!
Come! Sister-in-law, let's sit down and wait!"
Yuan carefully leaned over and took a look through the crack in the door, then quietly returned to Li Tian and gently tugged on her skirt, reminding her:
"They sat down..."
Li Tian was about to cry: "You are shameless!"
The second uncle: "I regret that we didn't come earlier, otherwise we would have been imprisoned with those two shameless people who took advantage of us.
Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad, but look at your daughter. She is more filial to outsiders than to her own mother. She would rather give this advantage to other people than to our family.
I heard that family has several boys in the family. Could it be that my niece has fallen in love with them and is willing to pay for them?"
The woman immediately retorted:
"Her second uncle, please don't talk nonsense. My Tian'er is not such an indecent girl!"
"Look, why are you so angry about a joke? Marry her off sooner, and we elders will have less worries!"
The two of them were talking to each other.
Perhaps he was sure that Li Tian couldn't keep the door closed all the time, and had to open the door to let Yuan and the others out, so no matter how Li Tian kicked the door and yelled, he refused to leave.
The neighbors were all quiet and no one asked any questions, obviously not wanting to get involved.
Li Tian still didn't give up and moved the ladder to climb up the wall to find someone for help, but it seemed like there was no one in the yards on both sides. The doors of the houses were closed, but the main door was open, but she couldn't call out anyone.
Li Tian just wanted Yuan and the others to climb over the wall, but it wouldn't work if there was no one to catch them.
But as soon as the door opened and the two came in...
A Yuan advised:
"Sister Li, don't worry, we can't leave, and Grandpa will be here soon.
"My grandpa is very capable. He even hunted wild boars before! He can definitely handle them!"
Later, Yuan and his friends thought about the wild boar that was killed by Fu Erbai with a hoe, and they always felt that it should be the credit of their grandfather, father and other villagers.
Xingzi thought about it and comforted Li Tian:
"My grandfather should be able to fight them off. We'll be fine in a bit!"
Li Tian couldn't laugh at all. Although she had a good relationship with this family, she was not a child and she knew that Grandpa Fu would never stand up for her.
After all, there was no reason. Besides, even if I scared them away this time, next time...
The result is the same. Besides, those two people may not be afraid this time. After all, they are her elders. If they are to arrange her marriage, what can outsiders say?
"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. I thought I'd just let it go after rejecting them last time, but I didn't expect them to not give up. They actually arranged the marriage and came to my house every few days..."
Li Tian couldn't help but complain while crying.
Her second uncle and mother had probably discussed how to divide the yard, so the two of them got together. She came here yesterday but was not able to get in. She didn't expect to come again today.
Li Tian didn't expect A Yuan and the others to have any good ideas, otherwise they wouldn't have kept it secret earlier. But things had come to this, and she would feel better if she talked about it.
The two children had no choice but to hug her and cry with her while being angry.
There was a lot of crying in the yard, the sound was really loud.
Aunt Fang on the other side probably heard it and yelled at the top of her lungs:
"What are you crying for?!
Hey? Isn't this the ex-wife of Li Lao Da? And Li Lao Er, what are you guys talking about?"
The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
A Yuan asked tearfully, "Will Auntie Fang follow them and knock on the door?"
Judging from Aunt Fang's attitude towards Li Tian...
Ah Yuan wiped his tears and asked himself, "Is it possible to prevent it?"
That is inevitable.
Feeling that they were about to be scolded, the three of them felt that their lives were miserable today. They huddled together again sadly, sobbing while carefully pricked up their ears to listen to the noise outside the door.
