Chapter 015: Exchange for Food
Li Rong smiled and called out seductively, "Brother Zhang!"
The sound gave people goosebumps. Zhang Xiang glanced at her and continued eating.
Li Rong's appearance is not good, and she only came to the capital in recent years. Even if she is dressed in gold and silver, she still has a vulgar air about her. Her previous engagement was mostly due to the consideration of the Gu family and Li Yuan's face, not to mention that he is a bastard.
The legitimate son of a respectable family looks down on her.
Although Zhang Xiang was a yamen runner, he might not have looked at Li Rong with any respect if he had not had any contact with women in the past six months.
In terms of beauty, those in the Gu family are needless to say, but he dare not provoke the people of the Gu family. Among the group of vulgar people in the Li family, only Li Yuan's concubine is irresistible. Although she is pregnant, she has a special charm.
The exile of female family members was inevitable, but Zhang Xiang had not originally planned to take action as soon as he left the capital, but he did not expect Li Rong to come to him on her own initiative.
Soon the two men disappeared into the woods and were seen by everyone.
Li Yuan called out a few times, but Li Rong didn't even turn her head.
"What a sin, what a sin." Old Mrs. Li shouted at the top of her lungs, as if she wanted others to hear it on purpose. She didn't want the Gu family to be disheartened by their actions and remain indifferent when they saw it.
What's more, Li Rong is still willing to degenerate.
"This... my brother-in-law doesn't care about it? This... is outrageous?" Gu Mingyu said helplessly.
Zhang Yi curled her lips. She was well-mannered and dignified and didn't like gossiping. Li Mumu decided that her aunt had the look of a female teacher.
Song Qiang was a straightforward person. "Brother, I see that my brother-in-law only has eyes for that woman. I'm not saying anything, sister, you really need to be careful."
Gu Mingtang glared at his wife, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Song Qiang sneered, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just worried about my sister. Can't you see? My sister is here, but has her husband ever said a word of concern? Instead, he's been surrounding that woman, asking about her well-being. If you didn't know, you'd think that woman was his wife."
Li Mumu really wanted to give her second aunt a thumbs up. She was absolutely right.
Zhang Yi also sighed, and wanted to say something but looked at Gu Yuru, but he didn't dare to say it, as if he was afraid that she would be unhappy.
Gu Yuru smiled self-deprecatingly, but she had never expected Li Yuan's shamelessness.
After a while, Li Rong came back with more food in her hands. She ate with relish, ignoring those who were staring at her.
Zhao opened her mouth, "Rongrong, where are ours?"
"You guys? What are you talking about?" Li Rong stuffed the food into her mouth as if she was afraid someone would snatch it away. "If you want to eat, go over there yourself."
Zhao wanted to do that, but after looking at the man with bulging veins, she didn't dare to move.
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Rongrong, you really disappoint me. With just this little bit of food, you... you... ah..."
Li Rong glanced at him and said, "Why don't you get me something to eat? You won't give it to me, and you won't let me find a solution. Do you want me to starve to death? Others are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, but you let our whole family starve. Third brother, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Who is responsible for our family's current situation?"
Li Rong raised her neck and looked at Li Yuan provocatively.
Li Yuan wanted to say something, but the whip had already been lashed at them, forcing them to leave quickly.
The yamen runners were full and could walk naturally, but the Li family had been hungry for a day and a night, so how could they beat them? But if they walked too slowly, they would be whipped. All they could hear along the way was the screams of the Li family.
Li Mumu was fine. She took a bath with the spiritual spring water in the space yesterday and relieved her fatigue. Moreover, this morning she took the initiative to fetch water and let the whole family drink the spiritual spring water. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water along the way, they should suffer less.
Sun fell down several times while carrying her son, who hadn't woken up yet. She wanted Zhao to help carry him, but Zhao refused. "I can't walk either. I'm several years older than you."
Sun wanted Li Rong to carry her on her back again, but Li Rong rolled her eyes to the sky.
The men were all in shackles and could not be relied upon, so she finally set her sights on Li Fengzhu, the daughter of the eldest wife.
Li Fengzhu was fourteen years old, not too young, but she was so hungry that she was seeing stars. She was wondering whether she should also have a full meal like her aunt.
This morning, my aunt was the only one in the family who didn't get beaten.
But she was younger after all, not as brave as Li Rong, so she didn't dare to do anything rash.
After all, Li Rong had lost her virginity a long time ago, and she knew very well what it was like with men. What difference did it make if it happened once or twice?
Although the Gu family tried to keep her, Gu Yuru couldn't always stay with her child at her parents' home. The yamen runners turned a blind eye, and she didn't want to cause them too much trouble.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she and the children returned here, Li Yuan took two quick steps forward and said in a terrifyingly cold voice, "Is this what you wanted to see? Rongrong is all your fault. How could you be so cruel? It's just a bite of food, isn't it?"
Gu Yuru looked at the man who was accusing her in astonishment. After thinking about what he had done in the past two days, she felt less pain in her heart.
"Say something, Gu Yuru." Li Yuan growled, "I don't care. Siyan has to eat lunch with you today. She can't handle it anymore."
Li Mumu thought to herself, shout a little louder and see how those three uncles will deal with you.
She just heard her uncle say that if her scumbag father bullied her mother again, he would come and beat him up.
Li Mumu didn't know what her mother was thinking, but she couldn't bear to see her being wronged. "Daddy, if my aunt goes for a walk with the yamen runner, she'll have something to eat. If Aunt Siyan is hungry, she can go for a walk too, right?"
"I don't want to go with that kind of person." Lin Siyan was anxious and angry, her voice a little loud.
This is exactly what Li Mumu wants to see. The louder the voice, the better. She is not afraid of the voice being loud, but she is afraid that Zhang Xiang won’t hear it.
This guy is narrow-minded and insidious. He already has feelings for Lin Siyan. If he knew that Lin Siyan despised and looked down on him so much, I don't believe he wouldn't do something.
Li Mumu deliberately raised her voice. "Why? Uncle Zhang is so nice. Aunt Lin, do you hate him?"
If Zhang Xiang couldn't hear it just now, he could hear it now. He suddenly looked at Lin Siyan.
Lin Siyan naturally looked down on the head of the yamen runners, but he also knew that one has to bow his head under the eaves, and there would be no benefit in making him angry.
"I...of course I don't hate him." Lin Siyan forced a smile, "How could I hate him?"
Li Mumu suddenly realized and shouted, "Oh, so Aunt Lin likes the yamen runner uncle."
"I..." Lin Siyan wanted to say that it was not like that, but she felt Zhang Xiang's gaze on her, which made her scalp tingle.
