Chapter 278 Darkened Yandere vs. Refined Scoundrel [1]
Li Chu stood up, leaning against the wall.
Her body ached terribly, but that pain paled in comparison to the hatred in her heart.
Li Chu remained expressionless.
She looked around.
The woodshed had no windows, only a locked door.
The door looked a bit dilapidated, with several cracks in the door panel, but it was very sturdy.
In her previous life, Li Chu had tried to break down the door and escape, but she failed.
Moreover, Li Youfu was keeping an eye on her, afraid that she would run away.
Li Chu felt that she should think of a way to get Li Youfu to open the door for her.
Perhaps because she had been reborn, she felt that her mind was much sharper than in her previous life.
Li Chu felt that she should learn from Li Pan'er and play the role of a weak, kind, and harmless person so that people would lower their guard.
In this way, even if she says the most hurtful things, people watching her from afar will think she is saying something nice.
Li Chu closed her eyes briefly and adjusted her facial expression.
When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with tears.
She went to the door, pounded on it, and cried out in a voice trembling with tears, "Daddy! I know I was wrong! I'll be good from now on, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
"Daddy, please let me out! Please, please!"
It was almost dark outside, and Li Chu saw through the crack in the door that Li Youfu was sitting outside drinking.
Li Youfu loved to drink and often got himself completely drunk.
When he's drunk, he'll hit people.
He wasn't drunk yet, and he was very impatient when he heard Li Chu crying.
"Shut up! Since you're obedient, then stay quietly in the woodshed. I'll marry you off in a couple of days!"
Ha, getting married, that sounds nice, but it's clearly selling yourself!
Li Chu sneered inwardly, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying: "Dad, you've sold me off, what will happen to our family now?"
Li Youfu was about to say, "Can't I live without you at home?"
Then Li Chu continued crying, "Who will farm the land? Who will cook the meals? Who will wash the clothes? Who will feed the pigs?"
These tasks have always been done by Li Chu.
Li Youfu was stunned; he had completely forgotten about this!
Yeah...who will do it?
Ever since Li Chu was three or four years old, she would carry a basket taller than herself to gather pig feed.
From the age of five or six, she did all the housework.
If you're too young at the beginning and don't do well, you'll get a beating.
Just try it a few more times, and it'll be done.
For over ten years, Li Youfu hasn't done any work; he's always been lazy and gluttonous.
He doesn't want to do the housework in the future!
But considering the price the old bachelor was asking for, Li Youfu still said, "I'll use the money I get to marry a wife and have a son!"
"It's all your fault, you worthless mother! She was a useless thing, giving birth to so many children but not a single son!"
Li Youfu muttered curses under his breath.
Li Chu's eyes darkened.
Yes, her mother had so many children...
Li Xiaoxiao was abducted at the age of seventeen and became pregnant at eighteen but miscarried.
She was born later.
When Li Youfu saw that she was a girl, he was very disappointed and continued to try to conceive.
Li Xiaoxiao's stomach was never free.
She either miscarried midway or gave birth to a baby girl.
Li Youfu heard that if a baby girl is killed at birth, no girl will dare to be reborn.
Therefore, whenever Li Xiaoxiao gives birth to a daughter, Li Youfu will kill her by throwing her to the ground, strangling her, or drowning her in front of her.
Over time, Li Xiaoxiao, who was already mentally unstable, went completely insane.
At the age of twenty-six, Li Xiaoxiao became pregnant and gave birth again.
She went into premature labor and had a difficult delivery, ultimately resulting in the deaths of both herself and her unborn child.
He was the son that Li Youfu longed for.
In his past life, Li Youfu did indeed use the money from selling Li Chu to buy a wife.
But before his son was born, Li Youfu drank alcohol one night, fell into a ditch, and drowned face down.
Li Youfu was destined to have no son to care for him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Li Chu continued, "Dad, you're already so old. If you get married again, how old will you be by the time your wife has a son and he grows up?"
"Why not just buy a son? That way, you'll have a son to break the pot for you!"
"If you think there's no blood relation, then I can have his child, and that child will be your own grandchild!"
"That way, you'll have a son, and I can stay home and do the housework. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
As expected, Li Chu's words moved Li Youfu.
Yes! Why didn't he just think of buying a son before?
But... but if he doesn't sell Li Chu to that old bachelor, where will he get the money to sell his son?!
Why not wait until next year? Next year, when they send money back from Beijing, he'll have enough to buy a son.
Li Chu peeked through the crack in the door and saw the expression on Li Youfu's face, and guessed what he was thinking.
"Dad, I know we don't have any money, but you can ask your uncle and aunt for some!"
"The last time I overheard my uncle and aunt talking, my cousin Pan'er said that she sends them a lot of money every month!"
"They even secretly bought a house for my cousin in town! They said that in two years, my cousin Pan'er will take them to Beijing to live in a big house and enjoy a good life!"
Li Youfu's eyes widened when he heard Li Chu's words.
What?
Li Pan'er actually sent money to her older brother and sister-in-law every month!
Didn't they say they would only send it once a year? And each time it's 20,000 yuan!
He still remembers how good his older brother and sister-in-law were to him, and he always gives them two thousand yuan each time!
They even secretly bought a house in town! How much money did they embezzle from him?
I want to move to Beijing, live in a big house, and enjoy a good life!
On what grounds?!
Li Pan'er was only able to live a good life in Beijing because she was his daughter!
Li Youfu stood up abruptly, ready to confront his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing Li Youfu leave in a menacing manner, Li Chu knew he would definitely get his money back.
She wasn't lying.
At least not everything he said was a lie.
Li Pan'er did indeed send money to Li Youcai every month, and the couple did indeed secretly buy a house for their son in town.
As for why it was done secretly, of course it was because they didn't dare let Li Youfu know!
As for going to Beijing, that's impossible.
Li Pan'er needs Li Youcai and his wife to keep an eye on Li Chu back in their hometown to prevent any accidents from happening.
Li Youcai's house was right next door, and Li Chu soon heard the sounds of things being smashed and broken coming from there.
However, things quickly calmed down again.
About half an hour later, Li Youfu returned with a rosy complexion.
As he reached the courtyard gate, he spat out, "Trying to steal my money? No way!"
Li Chu knew that Li Youfu must have gotten the money.
Li Youfu was a reckless and unruly man, and Li Youcai dared not openly confront him.
It is estimated that Li Youcai will promise Li Youfu that he will receive a share of money every month from now on.
"Dad, did you get the money? Do you have enough money to buy your son?" Li Chu asked expectantly.
Li Youfu then remembered that his daughter was still locked in the woodshed.
Now that we have money, let's not sell our daughter. It's much better to keep her at home and help with the work!
So Li Youfu went over, took a key out of his underwear, and opened the woodshed door.
"Come out. I'm letting you stay at home and live a good life because you're my own daughter. Don't be ungrateful!"
Li Chuse nodded and replied, "I will definitely take good care of you, Dad!"
