Chapter 264 Li Yingdi is seduced by the Li family
As soon as Li Yingdi entered the Li family's door, she told Old Man Li and Old Lady Li her request. Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the sharp voice of Li's mother.
Li Yingdi was also stunned. She didn't understand how Li's mother, who always said that her daughter was the most filial, could say such a thing?
Li's mother didn't care about Li Yingdi's little tricks. She was unhappy to see Li Yingdi coming back empty-handed this time. She felt that her daughter really didn't bring honor to her.
These daughters-in-law are all watching here. What girl would go back to her parents' home without bringing anything? It would be fine if she didn't bring anything, but now she has the nerve to ask me to give her money.
After hearing what Li Yingdi said, Li's mother just wanted to spit at her.
Li Yingdi was very hurt by what Li's mother said. She thought that if nothing else, just considering that the clothes and shoes of Old Man Li and Li's mother, as well as their daily food and daily necessities, were all bought for them by his camp over the years, he should at least give her some money.
"Mom, please help me, I really have no other choice."
Li Yingdi said almost pleadingly.
But Li's mother was very hard-hearted and was not moved at all. Not only was she unwilling to give the money to Li Yingdi, she even wanted to drive Li Yingdi away after seeing that Li Yingdi didn't bring anything and just came to ask for money.
"Yingdi, you are married now. It's time for you to understand some principles as a grown-up girl. It's not that I don't want to keep you, but it's just that under the current circumstances, I can't keep you.
You see, our family is not rich. If you stay home to eat, the others in our family will go hungry. Why don’t you go back first?”
Li Yingdi was even more incredulous. She didn't expect that her mother not only didn't give her money, but also didn't want to keep her for a meal when she saw her with nothing in her hands, and wanted to send her back home.
Li Yingdi lowered her head and smiled bitterly. If she couldn't get the money back, how could she go back to the Gu family?
Li Yingdi still didn't give up. Seeing that her approach with Old Lady Li didn't work, she turned her pleading gaze to Old Man Li.
Li Yingdi didn't even need to listen to what Old Man Li said. She saw her father look away, and she knew that her father and her mother had the same idea.
But Li Yingdi still didn't want to give up. She thought about it for a while and pleaded again:
"Dad! Mom! I beg you, even if you don't return the money to me, can I borrow it from you first? I really have no other choice. If there is any way, I will not ask you for help."
Old man Li and old woman Li looked at each other, and they still didn't want to give up this daughter. After all, they heard that their grandson was a good student. If this daughter became the mother of an official in the future, she might be able to gain greater benefits for their Li family.
But what convinced them even more was that Li Yingdi said she was lending, not asking for it. Otherwise, no matter what happened in the future, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li would not hand over the actual money in front of them.
Old man Li and old woman Li have lived for so many years, and although they don't know much else, they know one thing clearly: everything in the future is empty, and only what you have in your hands and eat now is yours.
After hearing what her parents said, Li Yingdi felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. It seemed that her parents still cared about her.
Just as I was feeling some affection for my family, I heard what Old Man Li and Old Lady Li said.
"I'd like to lend you the money, but you have to explain to us why you want to borrow it, and you have to write us an IOU in the future."
After saying this, Old Lady Li felt that what she said seemed a bit inhumane, so she added:
"My daughter, it's not that I'm on guard against you. It's just that you haven't explained the situation clearly, so we can't help you. If you explain the situation clearly, maybe your parents can give you some advice and think of some ideas."
Li Yingdi thought it made sense, so she complained to her mother:
"Mom, you didn't know that Gu Bei actually wanted to marry a concubine, and when he took the money, he found that the amount of money in our family was not right, so he forced me to take the money back, otherwise he would divorce me.
You know I won't come home and ask you for money unless it's absolutely necessary."
When Li Yingdi talked about her sad moments, she hugged her mother and cried on her shoulder.
Li's mother was also shocked when she heard the news. She didn't expect her daughter and son-in-law to have such a quarrel. She originally thought that the son-in-law just found out that the amount of money was wrong and forced her daughter to come back to ask for the money. How could there be a question of taking a concubine in this?
Old man Li and old woman Li looked at each other. Their family was not rich to begin with, and they were able to live a better life over the years thanks to Li Yingdi's sensible and covert support.
If a daughter is divorced by her son-in-law, where will they find such a good blood-sucking bag in the future?
"Alright, alright, you're already a grown-up and you're still crying like this. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Go with me and tell me what's going on."
As soon as it involves her family's interests, Li's mother immediately becomes concerned. She helps Li Yingdi into the house and asks her in detail.
"You mean that Gu Bei was angry with you this morning, and after he came back, he suddenly said he wanted to marry a concubine?"
"Yes, I didn't believe it at first. I thought Gu Bei was just trying to scare me, but I didn't expect him to keep insisting. Mom, do you think he wouldn't really..."
Mother Li's cloudy eyes rolled around and she said:
"Silly girl, think carefully about whether Gu Bei has done anything strange before today. For example, he has been coming home very late in the past few days, or he has been unenthusiastic towards you or something like that?"
Li Di really thought about her mother's words carefully. Go home? It was quite normal for Gu Bei to go home. Li Yingdi also knew the time when he was on duty at the restaurant. Gu Bei definitely did not come home late.
As for their nighttime sex, they are already an old married couple and they haven't had it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Yingdi finally felt a little relieved, and shook her head and said to her mother.
"No, Gu Bei has been quite normal these days. He just brought up this matter when he came back today."
Li's mother didn't know the inside story and thought that Gu Bei was deliberately trying to scare her daughter.
He comforted Li Yingdi and said:
"Don't be afraid. Even if Gu Bei wants to marry a concubine, he still needs a girl to marry. You just said that he has been very well behaved and hasn't been messing around with other girls recently. Where will he get someone to marry?
In my opinion, Gu Bei is just angry that you gave money to our family, and he is deliberately trying to scare you. Alas. This is also my mother's fault. I should have known not to go to your house to look for you.
While Li's mother was reassuring Li Yingdi, she also did not forget to secretly be sarcastic to Gu Bei.
