Chapter 180 How did the Li family get better?
After Li Rong followed Dong Zixu into the house, she was different when she came out. Not only her, but even Dong Zixu's eyes when he looked at her were much gentler.
He even watched Li Rong slap Taohua twice. Taohua cried for help, but was kicked away by Dong Zixu.
Li Rong did not hide her pride at all, "Little bitch, you are too young to fight me. I am a noble lady from the capital, who are you?"
"Master!" Taohong cried pitifully.
But how could Dong Zixu, who was only interested in climbing the ladder, delay his important work for a woman?
Especially when Li Rong said that Li Yuan had the support of Concubine Rong behind him, he thought about it and it made sense. For such a big thing, the whole family was not executed, but only their property was confiscated and they were exiled. It was obvious that Li Rong did not lie to him.
"Get out!" Dong Zixu shouted coldly.
Taohong couldn't believe her ears. Through her tearful eyes, she saw Li Rong's smug and arrogant expression.
That day, Li Ye didn't have to go to the quarry, and Li Rong also brought some supplements home.
But Li Fengzhu still had to go to the quarry to cook. When she heard the news, she thought she had heard it wrong.
"Why?" She asked in confusion, "Second Uncle and Third Uncle don't have to go, why should I go?"
She looked at Mrs. Li pleadingly, "Grandma, I don't want to go either."
Li Rong snorted coldly, "Why don't you go?"
"I……"
She glanced at Li Fengzhu gently and said, "This is what happened to you when you tried to steal my man."
Li Fengzhu stomped her feet in anger, but she didn't want to ask Li Rong for help. After all, she knew that it would be useless.
Li Rong came back in a carriage, but after seeing how dilapidated the house was, she did not stay there. Instead, she took the carriage back.
However, her return this time made life a little better for the Li family in Qingshui Village.
Old Mrs. Li is no longer afraid of those people. Her daughter is now a popular figure around the county magistrate. How could she give her face by being the village chief's wife?
The next morning, Li Fengzhu refused to go no matter what.
"The higher-ups didn't say you can't go, so how can you not go?" Zhao said.
"I won't go, mother. I work myself to death every day and still don't have enough to eat. Besides, those people bully me, and the guards are also hostile to me. Please go and tell grandma that I am your own daughter."
Zhao said helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to? But your grandma's words are useless. To be honest, it's all your fault. You are incompetent and your aunt has taken away the limelight. Otherwise, you would be the hero of the whole family now."
Old Mrs. Li now placed all her hopes on Li Yuan and Li Rong, and as a result, she also treated Li Zhaozhao better.
So she found that Zhao had put Li Zhaozhao on the kang again and went out alone.
"Where have you been?" Old Mrs. Li asked Zhao, who had just returned, while holding Li Zhaozhao.
"I...I went to the toilet." Zhao looked guilty. "Mom, why are you here? Didn't the village head's wife ask you to come here?"
"Just because she asked me to go, I went. Who does she think she is?" Old Madam Li said unhappily, "Old lady, you've been in the toilet for an hour?"
"I... Mom, I went there several times."
"You are lying." said Mrs. Li.
"Mom... no... I had a stomachache. I just came out and went back again. My legs are still weak." Old Mrs. Li looked at her coldly, "Old man, don't blame me for not reminding you. The eldest brother is gone, but I'm still alive. If you have other thoughts, our family won't stop you."
"Mother, what are you talking about? Well, I'm the eldest son's son in life and the eldest son's ghost in death." Zhao wiped away her tears. "If Fengzhu wasn't still young and had nowhere to go, I would... I would just let him go."
Old Madam Li rolled her eyes at her and handed the crying Li Zhaozhao to her. "The child has been crying for a long time. Go comfort him. Don't let me find out that you are not being honest. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao nodded vigorously, thinking that she would have to be careful about this next time she met a man.
"Oh, by the way, mother, Rongrong is the elder, can you please ask her not to argue with our Fengzhu, and ask Fengzhu not to go to the quarry."
Old Mrs. Li said nothing.
Zhao added, "Mother, the people working in the quarry are all officials. Who knows who might leave in the future? If people knew Fengzhu was being bullied by a group of yamen runners in the quarry, wouldn't that bring shame to our Li family?"
Old Mrs. Li did not feel sorry for Li Fengzhu, but she cared a lot about the Li family, that is, her son's reputation.
If we return to the capital, it would not be nice if others knew that the girl from the Li family was bullied by a yamen runner.
"I understand. I'll go tell Rongrong later. Fengzhu is just like you. She's not at ease. How can she compare to Rongrong?"
Zhao Shi didn't think so, but she could only respond, "Mother, Rongrong is your daughter, of course she can't be wrong. Fengzhu... Fengzhu can't compare."
"Go quickly and cook some rice porridge for the child. Zhao Zhao looks so thin. You should take good care of him. When his father gets better, how could he treat you badly?"
"Mom, look at what you said. I am Zhaozhao's aunt. Such a young child has lost her mother, but I treat her as my own daughter." Zhao said nicely, while Sun curled her lips.
If she had known that taking care of the baby would save her from having to do housework, she would have done it too.
But her son died, and she always wanted a son. It’s just that Li Ye hasn’t touched her much for a while, and she only came here once. How could she get pregnant that time?
She wants a son.
The Gu brothers told the others when they came back that Li Ye no longer went to the quarry.
"Why isn't he going?"
"I asked the yamen runners, and they said that the county magistrate had issued an order not to let him go." Gu Mingyu asked, "Dad, could it be Concubine Rong's place..."
Mr. Gu looked at Li Mumu. No one at home avoided her when talking. The little girl was smart and knew what was going on. There was no need to avoid her.
"No, after Concubine Rong sees that letter, she will definitely not trust him again." Li Mumu said.
"Then why is the county magistrate suddenly so kind to the Li family?"
Li Mumu rolled her eyes. Li felt the same way, but that was because Li Yuan really had Concubine Rong's support.
But it is still like this now, so we can only say that Li Yuan deliberately made the county magistrate misunderstand.
"How the county magistrate treats the Li family has nothing to do with us, but the Li family will definitely make things difficult for us because of their character," said Gu Mingjing.
Li Mumu nodded, "Don't be afraid, little uncle. My godfather is a higher official than the county magistrate."
Li Mumu curled her lips, "But if the county magistrate knew that the Li family had no relationship with Concubine Rong, and he found out that he was tricked, would he come back to life?"
Gu Mingyu took a deep breath, "Mumu, this...how can I let him know?"
