Seeing that Li Aimin ignored her, Liu Zhaodi promised again and again, "Really, I will never go back to my parents' home again. I know now that I was a fool before. I will never do that again. Please forgive me!"
As Liu Zhaodi spoke, she kept pulling Li Aimin, so her hands appeared in front of everyone. Her hands were rough like old tree bark, with cracks and blood on the back of her hands. Her palms were dry and covered with black spots from frostbite.
Although everyone's hands get frozen these days, few of them are as frozen as Liu Zhaodi's fingers. Everyone looked at her with sympathy. Li Aimin also noticed her hands and couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.
Looking at her face again, I saw that there were marks on both sides of her cheeks that looked like high altitude erythema, which made me feel distressed.
Li Mingxi watched silently among the crowd. It was obvious that the person's hands and face were frozen. It was not difficult to guess what kind of life she lived in her mother's home. Although she felt a little sorry for her, it was also her own fault.
Seeing Liu Zhaodi like this, Mrs. Wang advised, "Aimin, in my opinion, why don't you forgive her.
Someone echoed, "Exactly, what a pitiful person! I don't know how her family could treat her like this!"
Li Aimin wanted to give in, but he was afraid that Niu Cuihua would not agree, so he moved his mouth but said nothing.
In the end, with Niu Cuihua's permission, the second uncle forgave Liu Zhaodi, but only on the condition that she promised not to help her natal family anymore.
Although Liu Zhaodi was indeed excessive, Li Aimin didn't mean to divorce her. He was so ruthless this time just to teach her a lesson! However, to be on the safe side, he wrote a special certificate. If Liu Zhaodi refused to repent, she would get out!
The next day after Liu Zhaodi came back, she fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. The village doctor examined her, prescribed some medicine for her, and sent her away.
As soon as he left the old house, village doctor Li Baotian went to look for Niu Cuihua.
Niu Cuihua looked at Li Baotian, who had a serious face, and was a little confused. "Baotian, what do you want to see me for?"
Li Baotian spoke carefully, "Aunt, I just went to see Aimin's wife, and she's not feeling well!"
Niu Cuihua didn't want to bother with Liu Zhaodi's affairs, so she casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"She must have had a hard time at her parents' house. Her health has deteriorated and her vitality has been damaged. I'm afraid this will have a certain impact on her lifespan!"
When Niu Cuihua heard about the impact on her lifespan, she immediately took it seriously. "Can this be cured? Will it be a burden to the third child?"
It’s no wonder Niu Cuihua said that. It was really Liu Zhaodi who had gone too far before!
Li Baotian thought the same, so he came to ask Niu Cuihua for advice.
He said awkwardly, "I can, but it's a bit expensive. If I cure her, what will I do if she makes trouble for Ai Min again?"
Niu Cuihua was undecided for a moment and looked at Old Man Li for help.
Old Man Li received the old woman's signal and spoke slowly, "How about this, Baotian, you prescribe some medicine for her first to cure her current illness. After a while, if she has completely changed, then we can talk about conditioning her."
After some discussion, they secretly put the matter aside and didn't tell Li Aimin.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Zhao and her companions discovered that Liu Zhaodi was missing, they actually came to the Dongfeng Brigade to ask for her.
Mrs. Zhao stood at the door of the old house with her hands on her hips, cursing, "Li Aimin, call Zhaodi out for me. I want to ask her why she ran away without saying a word. Didn't you say you didn't want her anymore? What does this mean now?"
Li Aimin retorted, "Mom, Zhaodi is sick and still lying down. She really can't get up. Besides, I didn't say I didn't want her!"
Mrs. Zhao snorted, "Who would believe that? I heard everyone in our brigade that you're going on a blind date! What's the matter? Are you reluctant to part with our Zhaodi now?"
Li Aimin was actually very angry that Mrs. Zhao never treated Liu Zhaodi as a human being, but because she was his elder, he couldn't say much and could only keep explaining.
Unexpectedly, this person was relentless and said, "I think you are doing this on purpose. You are eating from your bowl and looking at the pot. I think you just despise my Zhaodi because she is old."
Li Aimin really didn't know what to say and could only scratch his head.
Seeing that the man had nothing to say, Mrs. Zhao became proud immediately. Just as she was about to say a few more unpleasant words, she saw Niu Cuihua coming, and her momentum immediately dropped by half.
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Hey, dear relative, you knew Zhaodi was ill and came to see her specially? But I see you didn't bring anything!"
In the past, Mrs. Zhao would have to smile at this time. Just when she was habitually showing a flattering expression, she vaguely remembered that she was here to cause trouble today, and immediately changed her expression.
Then he said, "Why are we here to see Zhaodi? We're here to take her home. It's not like your Li family doesn't want her anymore. That's why her brother and I wanted to take her home! Besides, our Zhaodi came back without saying a word. Don't you have to give an explanation to your family?"
As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Liu Duofu, who was standing behind her, stepped forward.
"Oh? How come I didn't know when the third brother stopped wanting Zhaodi? Besides, this is Zhaodi's home, shouldn't she come back?"
Mrs. Zhao was furious. "I can't argue with you. So you have to explain why Zhaodi lived at her parents' house for so long without anyone from your family coming to pick her up. Doesn't that mean your family doesn't want Zhaodi anymore?"
Niu Cuihua sneered, "Don't you know why my family didn't go to pick her up? Do you really need me to explain it to everyone? The third brother is embarrassed to say it, but I have nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"My family has already found Zhaodi a new partner, but now she's unwilling to go. She's asking for compensation. You have to pay for it, or else let Zhaodi go home and get married!"
Niu Cuihua was furious. "I haven't even asked you for money yet, but you came to my house first. Let's do the math. Liu Zhaodi has been taking a lot of money and things from her parents' home over the years, right? Add in the money you took away before the New Year, and the total must be around 100 or 200! I didn't know vampires really existed here!"
Mrs. Zhao retorted, "She gave me the money out of her own free will. It's none of your business. No matter what, now that this thing can't be done, your family has to pay!"
Niu Cuihua felt that this person was like a pile of stinky dog shit, and she couldn't get a clear look at him. "What the hell do you want? Why should I pay for it? Besides, Zhaodi is just going back to her parents' home, not getting a divorce. Is there any mother like you? Your daughter hasn't been home for a few days, but you're already rushing to get her married. I've never heard of that before. This is really unusual."
The onlookers were talking about it. "That's right, if this old woman says that, we won't dare go back to my mother's house anymore. Otherwise, my mother will find me another one!"
"I don't dare to let my wife go back to her parents' home anymore. Otherwise, what will I do if I'm left without a wife in two days?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the members burst into laughter.
