"Boss, how did mother become like this?"
Li looked at Gui in fear as she was bleeding profusely on the ground. What was going on? She was fine when she went out this morning, but now she came back lying down.
Li Shan slapped Li in the face the moment he entered. "Hmph! How dare you say that? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Yan? How could she run away?"
Li was hit so hard that he staggered and fell to the ground with his fat body.
She covered her slapped cheek and looked at Li Shan with great grievance, "Boss, I am innocent! I keep a close eye on Yan every day, how could she possibly run away?"
Li Shan was annoyed by her pitiful look and kicked Li on the calf. "Idiot, did you let her out on purpose? What use do I have for you?"
"ah!"
Li screamed in pain and lay on the ground, holding her calf and crying out in pain: "Boss, I don't have it."
Li Shan kicked Li but still felt unsatisfied, so he strode into the house and took a stick.
He held the stick and didn't even look at Gui who was lying unconscious on the ground. He swung the stick and hit Li.
"Bitch, you are all a bunch of bitches. That little bitch Yan looks down on me, and even you look down on me."
Li rolled on the ground with her hands holding her head, pleading for mercy in her throat, "Boss, I didn't do it, I didn't do it."
Seeing that she still dared to hide, Li Shan became more and more angry and beat her harder and harder. He didn't come to his senses until Li was covered in blood and passed out from being beaten.
He looked at Li, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, on the ground, then slowly stopped and dropped the stick.
Li Shan looked towards the government office, his eyes blazing with anger. "Lei Feng, Zhao Yuru, just wait for me."
At this time, the gate of the yard was pushed open by a pair of greasy hands, and a tall and strong man walked in from outside.
The man had a very strange face, with a narrow forehead, eyes widely spaced, a short nose, a fat body, tattered clothes, and suspicious liquid at the corners of his mouth.
The man started grinning as he entered the room. He took the candied haws out of his mouth and presented it to Lishan as if to seek credit.
"Dad, eat...eat candy."
Li Shan was so angry when he saw the man like this. He flicked his sleeves, walked straight into the study and slammed the door.
There's really no need to keep these people around. Each one is more useless than the other.
The man with the silly smile didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he sat down in front of Li and said, "Mom, get up quickly! Goudan is hungry. Goudan wants to eat."
The smiling man talked for a long time but Li didn't respond. Seeing that his grandmother was also lying on the ground, he simply followed their example, lying down on the ground, closing his eyes and snoring loudly.
Li Shan in the study didn't know that the figure on the roof had seen everything he had just seen. She didn't fly away until Goudan fell asleep.
.........
A few days after the incident, Yan Qingyun successfully registered as a female household with the help of Zhao Yuru's family.
Perhaps it was good luck after leaving the Li family, but not long after Yan Qingyun started working as a female household, he came across a courtyard house for sale near Zhao Yuru's home. The owner of the courtyard house was in urgent need of money, so he sold it for about fifty taels less than the average courtyard house.
Yan Qingyun happened to pass by that day and heard them discussing the sale. He immediately decided to buy the yard.
She did not inform anyone of her decision until they were having dinner together in the evening, when Yan Qingyun silently took out the house deed from her arms.
"Qingqing, why did you buy the yard without even telling me? There are so many rooms at home, it's not like we can't live there."
Zhao Yuru was very unhappy. Qingqing bought a yard without saying a word and didn't even let her take a look at it. Did she still consider her as a friend?
Yan Qingyun smiled at her apologetically, "Ruru, it's because I was too busy during the day! I was afraid that the yard would be gone as soon as I left, so I booked it right away."
She poured a cup of tea, raised her hands above her head, bent down and handed it to Zhao Yuru, "It's my fault, Ruru, please forgive me."
Zhao Yuru snorted softly and took the tea proudly, "Forget it, I'll just reluctantly forgive you!"
The interaction between the two made the other two people at the table want to laugh but dare not. Yuan Tianwei and Li Shuyao looked at each other, put their heads together and whispered.
"Sister Yao, there's a lantern festival in a couple of days. Can we go out together?"
"Is this okay? Would it be unsafe?"
Li Shuyao looked worried. She was really scared during those years in the Li family. Now she suddenly went to a crowded place, and she had an inexplicable bad premonition.
Yuan Tianwei didn't take it seriously and gently hooked her pinky finger. "Sister Yao, have you forgotten this is the promise we made when we were little? We used to agree to go to the lantern festival together at this time every year. Now that we finally have the chance to go out, we must not miss this opportunity."
Hooking the two little fingers together, Li Shuyao's memories drifted back to her childhood.
She was only five years old at that time. That year was the first time that their two families went out to the lantern festival together. At that time, she only remembered that her father won a lot of lanterns, and she and Weiwei made a vow to come to the lantern festival every year.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. After her father passed away, she never fulfilled this promise.
Now that she has escaped from the cage, Li Shuyao feels a little itchy again.
She pondered for a long moment, and finally nodded under Yuan Tianwei's expectant gaze, "Then let's go! Can we call Sister Xin along?"
Yuan Tianwei was delighted at first, but then her expression fell as she thought of something. "Sister Yao, have you forgotten that Sister Xin said she was going on a long trip? She's been gone for two days already, and I don't know when she'll be back."
