Chapter 271 Li Family Gossip
When Li Yingdi was about to arrive at the Li family's house, the Li family was preparing to make lunch.
"Why are you back? Why don't you stay home and take care of your parents-in-law? Now is the time for you to be busy. Besides, why don't you set some rules for the new bride?"
Seeing Li Yingdi coming back, Old Lady Li frowned and said impatiently.
Li Yingdi felt her nose sore, and when she saw someone she was familiar with, she felt a sense of grievance.
"Mom, what should I do? Gu Bei's mother insisted that I go back to the mountain with her, saying that it was to show filial piety to them.
When I first entered the family, I had a bad relationship with Gu Bei's mother. Now that I'm in her hands, how can I expect a good outcome?"
Li Yingdi cried to Old Lady Li.
However, old lady Li did not take Li Yingdi's crying seriously at all. In her opinion, there was no daughter-in-law who was not bullied by her mother-in-law. As long as Li Yingdi could stay in the Gu family and not be divorced, it was better for them to keep the title of relatives of the Gu family.
Old Mrs. Li thought this about me in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.
"Oh, my dear daughter, you have suffered so much. How could their family do this? But now you also know the situation of our family. Your brothers are not very motivated. Our Li family can't beat the Gu family."
Li Yingdi's heart sank. Hadn't she come to the Li family just to get them to help her vent her anger? Now that they had said that, she was afraid her plan would be dashed.
But Li Yingdi was very unwilling. When her younger brothers got married, Old Man Li and Old Lady Li used the excuse that she was the eldest daughter, saying that an eldest sister is like a mother. Li Yingdi's younger brothers took a lot of money from her when they got married, and even the betrothal gifts for several of her brothers' wives were paid by her.
This is what Li Yingdi thought and said.
"Mom, you said that my brother is my family, my support, and that they can lend a hand when I have problems in the future. But now, now that I have encountered problems, they are hiding, right?"
Old Lady Li had not expected Li Yingdi to dare to talk back, and she immediately became angry and said:
"Can you compare with your brother? Your brother is the hope of our Li family. If anything happens to him, can you bear the responsibility?"
Li Yingdi felt her anger rising to the top of her head, and her words were a bit off-topic:
"Okay, since he doesn't help me when I'm in trouble, then take out all the money I gave them. I also paid for the betrothal gifts to my brothers and sisters-in-law. Now give it all back to me."
After hearing what Li Yingdi said, the sisters-in-law who were picking vegetables in the house were unwilling to give up. What a joke! The money in their hands was theirs. If Li Yingdi wanted to take it back now, there was no way.
Not only did her sisters-in-law think so, but even her younger brothers thought that Li Yingdi had gone too far.
Li Yingdi was also a hot-tempered person. Seeing that Old Lady Li and several sisters-in-law were unwilling to take out the money, she immediately went into the house to look for it.
"Humph, if you won't give it to me, I'll get it myself!"
Seeing this, Old Lady Li was even less likely to let Li Yingdi in. She quickly called a few daughters-in-law and stopped Li Yingdi outside the door.
Old man Li witnessed all this in the house, called Li Dalang over and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing what Old Man Li said, Li Dalang did not hesitate at all. He did not think that Li Yingdi was his sister at all. He walked up to Li Yingdi, knocked her unconscious, and carried her into the house.
Old Mrs. Li was a little stunned when she saw Li Dalang's actions, not understanding what her son was doing.
"Everyone go inside and talk about it when you get home."
Old man Li saw everyone's confusion, but he had no intention of explaining.
Old Man Li spoke only after they all entered the house.
"It's not that I'm cruel to my own daughter, but she's making such a fuss in front of our house. If other people in the mountains see it, it will be a disgrace to our family."
Old Man Li looked at Li Yingdi who was knocked unconscious beside him, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he continued:
"It's clear that the Gu family doesn't want him anymore. Since Gu Bei is willing to send her to Zhang Dahua to fulfill his filial duty, it means that Gu Bei no longer has any feelings for her.
Since there is no affection, Gu Bei will definitely not tolerate Li Yingdi sending things to our family anymore. Besides, Li Yingdi may not end up well with Zhang Dahua. If she is tortured to death by Zhang Dahua, we will lose a daughter in vain.
Upon hearing this, both Old Lady Li and the Li brothers felt that it made sense.
"Then what about the head of the household? We can't just let her eat and drink for free. She's such a grown-up, how can she possibly earn enough to eat at our house even if she works?"
Old Lady Li didn't want to pretend to be a loving mother with the girl who was disliked by the Gu family anymore, so she asked.
"That's easy. I know an old friend whose son has been unable to find a girl to marry. The old friend also said that as long as there is a girl willing to marry his son, he will give a dowry of 20 taels of silver. It doesn't matter what age the girl is, as long as she is a girl."
There was a hint of calculation in Old Man Li's eyes as he spoke.
"Regardless of age, he still gave such a large amount of betrothal money. Is there something wrong with his son?"
The one asking the question was Old Lady Li. Li Yingdi was her own daughter after all. She wanted to find a good match for Li Yingdi, if nothing else, just so she could build connections and ask for money in the future.
Old man Li saw through your old woman's thoughts and said.
"If there's a good partner, shouldn't I introduce her to him? Not only will it make her feel more comfortable in the future, but our family can also take advantage of him.
But you know Yingdi's situation well. After all, she's married for the second time. Which good family would want her? If she had a good reputation, I could still think about it for her. But now that she has such a good reputation, it's good enough that she still has someone to marry."
After hearing what Old Man Li said, Old Lady Li no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement with Old Man Li's idea.
He has different opinions from the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law is considered the smartest one that old man Li has married into the Li family. After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, and a lot of money was spent on the betrothal gift.
"Although my eldest sister isn't liked by my eldest brother-in-law right now, I still have my nephew. I heard he's a very good student. How can he not miss me, his mother?"
Old Man Li didn't need to ask the eldest daughter-in-law any questions, as Old Lady Li answered them all.
"You've gone crazy, haven't you? Why did the Gu family insist on sending your elder sister to Zhang Dahua and the others to fulfill their filial duty? Do they really need someone to serve them? They just want to separate your elder sister from Zhiwen and alienate their mother-son relationship.
If the time is short, it is not clear, but if the time is long, it is hard to say."
The eldest son's wife nodded in sudden realization, and the matter was finalized in the Li family.
