Chapter 158 The Li Family is Still the Best
"Why are you running?" Old Mrs. Li shouted as she ran.
"Mom, if I don't run, am I just waiting to be beaten? Don't you see that we can't even get into the Gu family? The people of Ningxi Village can beat us down without the Gu family taking action." Sun complained, "It's better not to come!"
Old Madam Li's words pierced her wound. Although the mother and daughter didn't gain any advantage, she was also injured. "Not coming? If you didn't come, how could you know that girl from the Shi family is such a worthless person? She was so eager to marry the third child before, why is she changing her mind now?"
Old Mrs. Li couldn't understand it, because she had been very satisfied with her son before.
Shi Aoxue looked at her swollen face in the basin and said bitterly, "Who are these people in the Li family? How can they be so unreasonable?"
"Yeah? I heard they were nice people before, it's a pity you didn't marry into their family." Wang Yufen paused after saying this, "Aoxue, but now the Li family is holding on to you, is it okay if you don't marry into their family?"
"Do you and Li Yuan have..."
"No!" Shi Aoxue was so angry that she jumped up and down. "Mom, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not that shameless girl. How could I do such a thing?"
Wang Yufen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine, but that old lady Li is talking nonsense, and everyone believes it. Even if you want to marry into the Gu family, they... probably won't marry you, right?"
Shi Aoxue's eyes turned colder, "Not marrying? Can't you find a way?"
Old Mrs. Li did remind her that isn't it enough to just make the matter a done deal?
Those who achieve great things are not bound by means.
That night, Shi Aoxue pawned some old clothes and bought some wine and food.
"Third Master Gu!"
As soon as the Gu brothers arrived in the village, they heard someone shouting from a distance.
When Gu Mingjing saw her, he frowned. If this was not the only way back to the village, he would have left immediately.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Shi Aoxue said in a soft voice.
However, when she saw the three people from the Gu family walking past as if she didn't exist, the smile on Shi Aoxue's face froze. "Mr. Gu San, I was wrong about what happened before. I... please don't bother with me. I... I want to invite you to my house for a meal as a thank you for saving me that day."
"No need. Your not appearing in front of me is the greatest gratitude to me." Gu Mingjing said venomously.
Gu Mingtang couldn't help laughing out loud.
A few days ago, Li Mumu had already told them what this girl was thinking.
Gu Mingjing just felt disgusted. It was his bad luck to be favored by such a woman.
Even if Li Yuan didn't like her, he had never said such harsh words. Shi Aoxue felt embarrassed again.
"Wait, Mr. Gu, are you really going to bother with a girl like me?" Shi Aoxue said aggrievedly, "Just give me a chance and let me make amends. I was deceived by those people from the Li family before. They were the ones who said how bad your family was. It's all the Li family's fault."
Gu Mingjing took long strides without stopping for a moment, "Are you annoying?"
Shi Aoxue stared at Gu Mingjing blankly, "I..."
"Miss Shi, we have something else to do, so please don't block our way." Gu Mingyu said coldly.
"No... Mr. Gu..."
Shi Aoxue spent a lot of money on this meal, and she would not be willing to do so without inviting Gu Mingjing.
So she chased all the way to the door of Gu's house.
She wanted to go into the yard, but the three men from the Gu family were blocking the door. If she wasn't afraid of being thrown out, she could have given it a try.
"What happened?" Zhang Yi asked Shi Aoxue who was standing at the door. She had just been watching the children's homework in the school.
The opportunity to read was rare, so the children studied very hard. Because paper was expensive, they practiced writing with wooden sticks on the snow.
This way they could practice as much as they wanted, but Mumu suggested using a small wooden board painted black for them to write on, which would make it easier to mark.
It can also be reused.
Zhang Yi thought this method was good, but he came back a little late because of this incident.
But the school is right next door, and you can get back in just a few steps.
Shi Aoxue saw Zhang Yi as if she had seen a savior. "I... Mr. Gu saved my life before. At that time, I listened to the instigation of the Li family and disrespected Mr. Gu and the Gu family. Now I finally understand the character of the Li family. I specially prepared a table of food to make amends, but... Mr. Gu is probably still angry with me... and he refused to go."
Before she even opened her mouth, she asked Zhang Yi to help persuade her.
Zhang Yi laughed, and she was so gentle that Shi Aoxue thought she was easy to talk to and fool.
Zhang Yi is very good at talking, but it depends on the situation at the time.
"Miss Shi, my third brother cares most about his sister. When you spoke harshly at that time, you should have thought that the Gu family would never be kind to you again."
"It's all the Li family's fault..."
"The Li family is at fault, but does that mean the young lady is not? We have never been hostile to you since we established the Queen, yet you have repeatedly provoked us. As for this banquet, is it really just a simple thank you to my third brother?"
Shi Aoxue's face turned red and her palms were sweating with nervousness. She thought to herself, they shouldn't know, right?
"Since you're a girl, I'll remind you that those who do evil will eventually perish. So be careful."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he opened the door and went in.
Shi Aoxue didn't dare to follow, but just peeked inside through the crack in the door. There was no trace of Gu Mingjing.
Not long after, Shi Zecheng returned with his two sons.
When he learned that Shi Aoxue was going to refuse to marry Li Yuan, he became furious.
"No, this marriage has already been decided, and you agreed to it. How can you change your mind just like that?"
"Dad, you don't know that the old lady of the Li family is unreasonable..."
The mother and daughter repeated the story in a very emotional voice. Shi Zecheng widened his eyes, unable to believe that this was what he heard.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Look at all the injuries we have, Dad. Why would I lie to you? Also, Li Yuan's leg is injured. Who knows if he'll become a cripple in the future? I won't marry him. I want to marry the third son of the family, Gu."
"Next door? Gu Mingjing?" Shi Zecheng immediately stood up from the kang. "No, he is definitely not a good man."
"His father, but now the Li family is biting us. Only when our daughter marries into the Gu family will they dare not make trouble." Wang Yufen said.
"You didn't see it. That old lady Li was throwing a tantrum, insisting that our daughter was already a member of their Li family. Who else would dare to marry our daughter except the Gu family?"
Shi Zecheng frowned, "Then marry into the Li family."
"I don't want it!"
"You don't understand. The Li family will eventually make a comeback. I heard that there are people in Li Yuanjing who I can rely on, and that's..."
Shi Zecheng paused, "In short, the Li family is much more reliable than the Gu family."
