Chapter 76: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (XI)
"Bitch! What a bitch! You're actually betraying your own people!"
The Li family sent away County Magistrate Zhou and Ma Yong, who had extorted heavily from them. Li Jiye was so angry that he just smashed things in the house.
Those people are so cruel.
More than half of the business that his Li family had run for decades was taken away.
Adding the half that Gu Qingcheng took away, Li Jiye calculated carefully and found that he only had less than one-tenth of the property left.
"Ahhh! Bitch! Bitch!!"
When Li Jiye thought of his own property, he wished he could eat Gu alive.
In fact, the people who really blackmailed him were Zhou and Ma.
But Li Jiye didn't dare to offend them at all, not even to curse them behind their backs.
All his anger could only be vented on Gu.
Besides, Gu is not innocent. If she hadn’t acted like a demon and gone to the county government to file a complaint, how could she have brought the evil wolf into the house?
Han Qiuyu stayed in her own yard and heard the constant commotion in the main yard.
While she was irritated, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This Gu is a ruthless character!"
He was falsely accused of having an affair and kicked out, but he managed to fight back.
It's just that this method is a bit insidious.
Tsk, no matter what, the Li family is her husband’s family.
How could she use corrupt officials and warlords to squeeze the Li family? This is not the main reason why Han Qiuyu is irritable.
She was annoyed because the Gu family in the original plot was just greedy and bad, and didn't seem to be that smart.
After Han Qiuyu came here, he also found that Gu was not smart enough.
Otherwise, considering Han Qiuyu's new arrival and her crude methods, it would be impossible for her to "counterattack" the Gu family.
No matter how poor Gu was, she had been the mistress of the Li family for several years.
Logically speaking, she should have run the Li family's backyard like an iron barrel.
In fact, as soon as Han Qiuyu made the arrangements, the old women and maids secretly cooperated with her.
At that time, Han Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, being a person to the point where he ended up in the Gu family is considered quite a failure."
Especially when Gu was discovered to have an affair, Li Jiye was furious and ordered people to beat her with a bamboo stick. However, a maid took the opportunity to hit her in the face with a bamboo stick.
Judging from the cruel look of the old woman, Gu's face would definitely be disfigured.
A woman lost her reputation and had her face disfigured. Even if the Li family didn't beat her to death with a stick, she would not have had a good ending.
Originally, Gu's fate was already sealed when Han Qiuyu successfully counterattacked them.
Han Qiuyu felt that the Gu family would not be a cause for concern.
The karma she owed to the original owner was also resolved because Gu reaped the consequences of his own actions.
However, Han Qiuyu never expected that the Gu family would have such means.
It's so vicious and cruel, it's directly holding the Li family's weak spot.
"...But, what happens to the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore!"
Han Qiuyu sighed for a while and then turned his attention back from Gu.
Again, the cause and effect of her occupying the original owner's body was completely resolved when she helped the original owner escape disaster and made the culprit suffer the consequences of his own actions.
There was no longer any grudge between her and the Gu family.
Oh no, to be exact, Han Qiuyu has nothing to do with everything around him.
"Let's go! It just so happens that the Li family is in chaos, so I don't even have to think of a way to escape!"
In the past few days since Han Qiuyu came here, she has been secretly packing her dowry.
The original owner was able to marry the son of the richest man in the county, so her background was not bad.
Han Qiuyu's father was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. He was not very good at the imperial examinations, but he was very good at business.
Thanks to his efforts, although the Han family is not the richest family, they are indeed well-known landlords.
One-third of the fertile land near the county town belongs to the Han family.
Han's father also opened shops in the county and provincial capital.
The Han family is not as prominent as the Li family, but their financial resources are no worse than the Li family.
Li Jiye was smart and knew that the Han family was rich, so he asked for Han Qiuyu to marry his son.
Han Qiuyu is not an only child, she has two brothers.
She is Han's father's only daughter.
Han's father loved Han Qiuyu very much and bound her feet since she was a child, hoping that she could marry into a good family.
Han Qiuyu: ...Thank you so much!
What kind of fucking logic is this? Because you love your daughter, you made her disabled?
Han Qiuyu was originally quite happy that he had traveled to this parallel world similar to the Republic of China.
In the Republic of China, nine out of ten loves are followed by sorrow.
All the stories seem to exude a decadent, gorgeous, and dilapidated beauty.
This era is so contradictory, just like the people in this era.
Han Qiuyu is a liberal arts student, and he loves reading online novels.
"Be a plagiarist. The salaries of writers in the Republic of China were still very high."
After traveling through time and confirming that he had arrived in the fictional Republic of China, Han Qiuyu's first thought was to copy, copy, copy.
The only regret is the original owner's deformed feet.
"Humph, those bastards who boast about three-inch golden lotus must have never seen what bound feet really look like."
After removing the thick foot bindings and seeing the pair of severely deformed feet, Han Qiuyu couldn't help but curse.
If these bound feet were wrapped in snow-white foot binding cloth and put on specially made embroidered shoes, they would indeed look delicate and petite.
When she walks, her body sways, she is graceful and charming.
However, once the foot binding is removed and the true appearance of the feet is revealed, even the most perverted person cannot say that this thing is "beautiful".
"Fortunately, the original owner is not too old. He is only sixteen years old this year."
I had my feet bound at the age of six. Ten years later, the smallest big toe on my foot had been broken off and was sticking to the sole of my foot like a soft piece of meat.
The arch of the foot has also become deformed, with the toes and heels almost fitting together.
However, the degree of arch deformation is not too serious.
Han Qiuyu threw away her foot bindings and put on loose cloth shoes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Every night she would soak her feet in hot water and then massage them vigorously to rehabilitate her feet.
The effect is minimal, and the damage is almost irreversible.
Han Qiuyu did not give up. Even if he could not recover, he would not let the situation get worse.
At least, she wanted to walk normally instead of being a disabled person who couldn't walk fast.
In the past few days, Han Qiuyu has adapted to the feeling of walking on her own feet after removing her foot bindings.
She also counted her dowry: a shop, one hundred acres of fertile land, some gold and silver jewelry, and one hundred silver dollars at the bottom of the box.
The cold autumn rain could not take away the shop and the fertile fields, so she could only sell them quietly.
The intermediary in charge of helping was curious about why she, the daughter-in-law of the richest man in the county, wanted to sell her dowry. Han Qiuyu pretended to be shy and said, "My husband needs money outside."
Han Qiuyu really didn't feel any psychological burden at all about putting the blame on Li Yaozu.
It's sad that people say that eleven out of ten talented people in the Republic of China are scumbags, because some of them are particularly scumbags.
It is obvious that he is fickle-minded and lusty towards beauty, yet he still holds high the banner of breaking feudalism and pursuing freedom.
Just like Li Yaozu, who was tricked by Li Jiye into getting married at the end of the year.
Judging only from the section about being deceived, he seems to be a victim of an arranged marriage.
But he did not blame the person who favored him and arranged a marriage for him. Instead, he vented his anger on the equally innocent "Han Qiuyu".
In order to paralyze Li Jiye and then find an opportunity to escape, he consummated the marriage with the original owner while despising her as a feudal remnant.
Han Qiuyu wanted to make trouble: What a bastard! If you really insist on not touching the original owner, I will respect you as a warrior who dares to fight against feudal arranged marriage.
The result is——
Villain, scum! This is a complete bastard, a scum! After receiving the original owner's memory and stroking his already bulging belly, Han Qiuyu almost threw all the dirty words he knew at Li Yaozu.
This kind of dog man talks about freedom and equality all the time, but his brain is bound by cloth. He is the most selfish and feudal dregs and cancer in his bones.
Li Yaozu was such a scumbag that Han Qiuyu felt that it was no big deal for him to take the blame.
After hearing what Han Qiuyu said, the agent's eyes flashed with sympathy.
Alas, this Han family is also pitiful. She finally married a promising husband, but was still despised.
She was abandoned on the wedding night, and the groom left for several months without any news.
There are already some gossipy people in the county talking nonsense.
It's very strange that they don't scold the bastard who cheats on them, but instead blame Han Qiuyu for being incompetent and unable to keep a man.
Some people even said maliciously, "This Han Qiuyu, tsk tsk, the name exudes a yin energy. Women with heavy yin energy will bring bad luck to their husbands."
Han Qiuyu: ... meow meow meow? You can tell from your name that you are unlucky in marriage? How can you, an illiterate street woman, be more learned than the scholars of the Qing Dynasty?
Although Han Qiuyu complained bitterly about these rumors, he didn't take them too seriously.
As for reputation, it is important when you say it is important, but once you no longer value it, it is just that insignificant.
Han Qiuyu had no intention of staying in such a remote and isolated small county town.
Go to the provincial capital, or to Shanghai or Beijing; people in big cities are more open-minded.
And if she wants to be a plagiarist, there is enough stage for her to do so.
Han Qiuyu portrayed herself as an infatuated woman who was abandoned but remained loyal to her husband. With the sympathy of the "real estate agent", she successfully sold the real estate in her dowry.
"Unfortunately, these furniture cannot be sold!"
Looking at the room full of mahogany furniture, Han Qiuyu felt distressed.
These are also the dowry of the Han family.
It's a pity that she was just going to "find her husband" instead of completely severing ties with the Li family, so she couldn't do anything too extreme.
After packing his luggage, Han Qiuyu wrote a letter imitating the original owner's handwriting.
This letter is left for Li Jiye.
In the letter, Han Qiuyu expressed "affectionately" that she was very worried about her husband's whereabouts.
She vaguely heard that her husband was teaching at a university in the capital, so she wanted to go to the capital to find him.
Because the news was not very accurate, she did not want to tell her father-in-law.
She would go look for it first, and if she found it, she would write a letter home.
If she can't find it, she will find a way to ask someone and then continue looking.
"Haha, it must be 'can't be found'."
In the original plot, Li Yaozu, the scumbag, went to Shanghai and published a divorce notice in the newspaper of Shanghai...
