Chapter 37: There's no benefit to licking.



The villagers could only shake their heads. They said that once a daughter is married, she is no longer considered part of her family. No one would say anything if she occasionally helped her parents' family, but they had never seen anyone like Li Aidi before.

"You...go back to your parents' house!"

Han Qiang had had enough; he couldn't afford this wife.

"I... Father of my child, you can't do this to me."

Li Aidi finally became scared, and seeing this, Grandma Han probably realized that the sweet potato vines were hopeless. She stepped forward and grabbed Li Aidi, wanting her two jin of grain back, which led to the scene that Han Luoxue and the others had just witnessed.

Han Luoxue watched coldly, but suddenly felt like laughing.

She thought Li Aidi was just thick-skinned, but she didn't expect him to be so dim-witted.

However, it all depends on Han Qiang's decision now. If he hardens his heart and divorces Li Aidi, everything will be fine in the future.

But if he considers the children and continues to live with Li Aidi, such things will happen frequently in the future. A leopard can't change its spots, and Li Aidi can't stop helping her family.

This Li Aidi will kill Grandpa Han Qiang sooner or later.

Han Luoxue was a little worried, but this time Han Qiang was obviously furious.

He didn't even care when Li Aidi was beaten, and he couldn't even be bothered to look at him.

He turned around and went back to the yard to start dividing the sweet potato seedlings.

Grandma Han beat Li Aidi for a while, leaving her with a bruised and swollen face, but she still hadn't gotten the grain.

She scrambled to her feet and went to ask Han Qiang for it.

"Whose question are you asking?"

Han Qiang said irritably, "I haven't even seen the grain. You want me to return it? You're dreaming."

"You...you are a family."

“She’s not on our side. Just ask her for it. If you can’t get it, you can report it to the authorities.”

Upon hearing that he was going to report to the authorities, Li Aidi became terrified.

"Honey, you can't just abandon me. I've done my part, even if I haven't done anything special, I've worked hard to give you so many children."

"What's it to me? Whoever got the food, just ask for it back. It's only been one night, surely they haven't eaten it all already?"

Li Aidi's eyes lit up, but thinking that it must have been difficult to get food in the past, her heart began to pound again.

"Han Kun, come with me to your maternal grandmother's house."

Han Kun was called out, and he quickly took a few steps back, shaking his head and refusing to go.

Left with no other choice, Li Aidi had to go by herself, looking somewhat disheveled.

Grandma Han was relieved to see that Li Aidi had gone to ask for food.

She knew that making a fuss wouldn't change anything, so she decided to go home first.

She happened to see Han Luoxue and Han Luoyu, and quickly ran up to them, her triangular eyes almost squinting:

"Han Luoxue, how can you treat your own grandmother like this? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Have you forgotten how you treated me?"

Han Luoxue still looked indifferent.

"You... Hmph, a paralyzed man, a cripple, a slutty hussy who could die at any moment, and a sickly man who could die at any moment. Let's see how long you can last."

These words made Han Luoxue feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

My fists were itching to punch her, but with so many people around, it didn't seem right to hit an old lady.

"Oh dear, Sister-in-law Han, look at what you're saying! Mingyuan's family used to be so capable, how can you kick them when they're down? Wasn't it you who ruined Mingyuan's leg?"

Some people couldn't stand it and stood up to speak.

"Exactly, a whole family of ungrateful wretches, worse than animals."

"Even animals know to protect their offspring, but you're something else, you wish your child were dead."

"Hmph, Xue girl can give her things to whomever she wants, why should I give them to you?"

"This is truly the first time I've ever seen an old lady like you, wanting other people's things while simultaneously cursing them."

...

Grandma Han hadn't expected so many people to speak up for Han Luoxue. Seeing those familiar faces cursing her mercilessly, Grandma Han's face darkened even more.

She yelled angrily, "Enough!"

And you know what? Old Mrs. Han already had a loud voice, but now she was using even more force, and everyone actually shut up.

"If you keep licking her like this, do you think she'll give you any more sweet potato vines?"

"Hmph, you're all so easily swayed by a little favor. You're a bunch of spineless cowards."

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Han curled her lip in disdain and looked at everyone: "There's no point in licking her boots anymore."

Everyone was about to speak again in anger, but Han Luoxue just smiled:

"I'm out of sweet potato vines for now, but I'm very grateful to everyone for speaking up for me. Village head, please remember who spoke up for me just now. Come to my place in three days to pick up the sweet potato vines, twenty vines per family."

A collective gasp filled the air. They'd only received thirteen trees that day. And now, after just a few words, she'd gotten twenty more? Did they still have any standing if they spoke up for her now?

"Uncles and elders, please wait a moment. I have some corn on the cob at home. I'll give you two to try later."

After saying that, Han Luoxue left. She had just counted that there were about eight families who had spoken, plus the village head. She went back to the kitchen and got eighteen corncobs, which she had her younger sister deliver to everyone.

After Han Luoxue left, the crowd did not disperse. Some of them had eaten Han Luoxue's corncobs, while others had not.

They're all really envious.

Many people are now filled with regret. It was just a matter of saying a few words, why didn't they step forward?

The women who had just spoken up for Han Luoxue looked arrogant.

The way the men looked at them just now was different from usual. Look how capable they are!

Upon hearing that there were still corn cobs to be distributed, everyone, regardless of whether they had spoken or not, stayed put. They had heard of them, but most of them had never seen the legendary, extremely delicious corn on the cob.

They've grown corn, but they've never eaten corn on the cob.

Han Luoyu returned quickly, her basket full. She handed it directly to the village head, Han Qiang, and told him to take it.

“My sister said that two of them are for Grandpa.”

Han Luoyu spoke sweetly, and everyone was stunned when they saw the large stick she pulled out. This...

These corn seeds are huge! Many people are wondering where Han Luoxue got them. It seems they'll have to get along better with Han Mingyuan's family from now on.

Anything someone gives you is better than what you get.

...

"I'm so angry! That Han Luoxue is an ungrateful wretch."

Grandma Han felt that she had never felt so stifled in all her years of life.

It's all that wretched girl Han Luoxue's fault.

"You said that tiger is a vegetarian? Why didn't it eat her?"

She still couldn't believe it, grabbed Han Juhua's ear, and asked angrily:

Are you sure you saw a tiger?

Han Juhua nodded hurriedly, but this nod made her ears hurt even more.

"You brat, I'll ask you one more time, is it really a tiger?"
