"Lily, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Hua Ruyi listened to Baihe's account and knew that this matter could not be delayed. Baihe had to leave immediately for her safety. At the same time, she felt sorry for Baihe's unfortunate fate.
Hua Ruyi took some jewelry from her collection and handed it to Baihe, saying, "Take good care of yourself. I won't keep you any longer. I know it's more dangerous for you to stay in this town. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me quietly. I thank you on behalf of Rou Niang."
"Sister Ruyi, what are you saying? If it weren't for Madam Li's help, I'm afraid I would have died of illness in the woodshed. This is my way of repaying her kindness. You don't need to tell her and add to her burden. From now on, you and Madam Li should take good care of yourselves. No matter where I am, I will always wish you well."
Lily quietly left under the cover of night. Hua Ruyi could only sigh.
Zhao Dahua from Zhao Family Village immediately went to Li Rouniang's place to persuade her.
But she saw Xiuer and Zhao Ergou arguing and pulling at each other. She slowed down and hid to the side to listen.
"Xiuer, come home with me." Zhao Ergou held Xiuer's wrist tightly.
"Zhao Ergou, let go of me! We're not together anymore. If you keep pulling and tugging like this, you'll regret it!"
Xiuer struggled angrily, but she was no match for Zhao Ergou's brute force.
"What do you want, Xiuer?" Zhao Ergou smiled ambiguously, still holding on with a sly grin.
Xiuer's face turned red with anger, and she said angrily, "What exactly do you want?"
"What else can I do? You're my wife, so naturally you're going to come back to my home and live with me. What are you doing here with Li Rou Niang now?" Zhao Er Gou said shamelessly.
"How dare you talk about Zhao Ergou? Are you even human? You sold me and Xiaocao out of your lives, and now you want me to go back with you? Let me tell you, no way. Unless I die, you can forget about it."
Xiuer angrily uttered harsh words. Seeing Xiuer turn hostile, Zhao Ergou also lowered his face and said, "You bitch, don't push your luck. Do you really think I care about you?"
"Let go!" Xiu'er struggled and bit Zhao Ergou. Zhao Ergou released her grip in pain, and Xiu'er quickly retreated several steps. Seeing that Zhao Ergou did not chase her, she hurriedly ran away.
Zhao Ergou looked down at the wound on his hand, licked it, and then watched Xiuer run away, laughing and cursing, "Pah, you bitch, just wait and see how I deal with you later."
He was quite surprised when Zhao Dazui told him that Xiuer and Xiaocao had returned.
He underestimated Li Rou Niang.
Since they are so capable, they managed to rescue the person from Lei Dayong.
But Xiuer was his wife after all. He would bring Xiuer and Xiaocao back with him sooner or later.
Zhao Ergou had no choice but to sell Xiuer and Xiaocao; he was simply too heavily in debt from gambling. Lei Dayong threatened to chop off his hands if he didn't pay back the money, and Zhao Ergou was terrified.
But when he returned home after selling the two men, he found the house deserted and the stove cold. He wept bitterly, truly heartbroken.
Well, heaven has eyes! Now his wife and daughter are in the village. They can be reunited as a family again. How wonderful!
"Brother Er Gou." Zhao Da Hua emerged from the shadows and called out to Zhao Er Gou.
She thought that she and Li Rouniang had already fallen out, and if she went up to persuade her, it would probably backfire.
Why not use some more extreme methods to force Li Rouniang to return to her elder brother's side?
So she needs an ally. Look at what happened between Zhao Ergou and Xiuer. She has heard her mother-in-law Zhao Dazui say that Xiuer is now living with Li Rouniang. Isn't that the best ally?
"Oh, it's Big Flower! She's getting more and more beautiful. Looks like you've been getting a lot of attention from Da Niu." Zhao Ergou said smirkingly.
Zhao Dahua was disgusted, but thinking about her plan, she still smiled and said, "Brother Ergou, what's going on between you and your wife? Why is your wife staying at Li Rouniang's place?"
"It's just some minor conflict, it'll be fine in a while." Zhao Ergou couldn't very well tell everyone that he had sold his wife and daughter, so he could only give a vague answer.
“Brother Er Gou, Li Rou Niang hasn’t been living a peaceful life since her divorce from my brother. She’s with my sister-in-law and is instilling some bad ideas in her. If you want to persuade her to come back and settle down with you, it will be difficult.” Zhao Da Hua laid the groundwork.
"You've hit the nail on the head. Madam Li here is indeed a bit unruly. I don't want her to corrupt my Xiu'er. So tell me, what's a good way to get Xiu'er to come home and live a good life with me?"
"Brother Er Gou, how about this? My eldest brother is back too, and he's thinking of getting back together with Li Rou Niang. Why don't you help me think of a way to reconcile them? That way, Sister-in-law Xiu'er will definitely have no choice but to come back to your house. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
"Your idea is not bad, but why should I help you for no reason? Your plan is quite clever; I put in the effort and you benefit."
"That's not how it works, Brother Er Gou. Didn't Sister Xiu go home with you too?"
"I'm not going to argue with you about this. Anyway, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me. Alright, go do whatever you need to do." Zhao Ergou stretched and was about to leave.
Zhao Dahua was anxious. Her future depended on this matter, so that she could leave the Zhao family.
So she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ergou's arm, saying in a sweet voice, "Brother Ergou, please help me."
That delicate, affected voice tickled Zhao Ergou's heart.
