Liu Xiaohong never dreamed that Zhao Xiulian and her daughter would actually call Li Weidong and expose her lies!
Her face flushed and paled in turns, and she stammered for a long time before being unable to speak.
She was, after all, a young, unmarried woman. Coming to the Li family to work and please her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law had already exhausted all her courage.
Now that it has been exposed to my face, it is wishful thinking on my part, and I feel even more embarrassed.
Li Xiaoli snorted, "I knew my brother wouldn't do such a thing! Turns out it was you who made the decision on your own. Now get out of here and don't come to my house again!"
"Lili!"
Zhao Xiulian was soft-hearted after all. Although she didn't like Liu Xiaohong, she had seen how hard Liu Xiaohong had worked these past two days.
No matter how well the work is done, at least it's the thought that counts.
She sighed and said earnestly, "Girl, go back! Don't do this again. A young lady's reputation is very important!"
Hearing her gentle tone, Liu Xiaohong's eyes instantly reddened: "Auntie, I... please don't send me away. I'll work harder in the future, please!"
As long as you stay, there's still a chance!
Zhao Xiulian shook her head: "If we need to find someone to do the work in my house, we should ask Xiaoye, not you."
After all, Li Weidong is going to marry Zhou Xiaoye. Liu Xiaohong is an outsider. What kind of behavior is it for her to come home every day?
Her meaning was clear: Li Weidong had chosen Zhou Xiaoye, so Liu Xiaohong could give up on that idea.
How could Liu Xiaohong not understand?
Her eyes reddened even more, and she couldn't say a word. She turned and ran away.
Li Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally gone! These past two days have been so annoying!"
Zhao Xiulian tapped her forehead with a finger: "You brat, you've been looking really happy these past few days!"
After all, Li Xiaoli usually does the easy housework like sweeping and wiping tables.
As soon as Liu Xiaohong arrived, she had nothing to do and was very happy!
Li Xiaoli pouted: "What? I don't have to do any work when she comes to the house, but look at what she does! If she stays a few more days, she'll ruin the house!"
As she spoke, she hugged Zhao Xiulian's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I felt nauseous from eating her food these past two days. Now that she's finally gone, what are we going to eat for lunch?"
I'm so hungry for it!
Zhao Xiulian lost her temper and shook her head, saying, "You greedy girl, alright, go pick some bok choy from the field. If there's any shepherd's purse at the edge of the field, grab a handful too, and I'll make dumplings for you."
Li Xiaoli cheered immediately: "Mom, you are the best mom in the world! I'm going right now!"
After saying that, he happily went out with his shopping basket.
...
After leaving the Li family, Liu Xiaohong was completely listless.
He had planned to follow Zhang Yan's advice, come to the Li family to help, and after winning over Zhao Xiulian, he would be able to marry Li Weidong as he wished.
Who knew that after two days of trying to please her, her lies were exposed and she was kicked out of the house.
In that case, Zhao Xiulian would definitely hate herself.
Liu Xiaohong was filled with resentment, yet she couldn't control her regret and despair.
When Li Weidong pinned her down on the bed in the city, she thought that if she had just given in to him, the deed would have been done, and she would have been completely bound to him.
Even if he failed that time, he could have turned to currying favor with Zhao Xiulian. If he had done a good job and caught his future mother-in-law's eye, he might have gotten what he wanted.
As a result, he went astray on both paths and completely blocked them.
In that case, it's probably impossible for her to marry Li Weidong again.
Disheartened, Liu Xiaohong walked towards home.
As soon as I reached the village entrance, I saw a group of old women sitting under a tree chatting.
After finishing their chores, the old women in the village like to sit at the village entrance and chat.
They can chat about this and that all afternoon without stopping.
Liu Xiaohong hated this situation the most.
After all, her family had a bad reputation, and she was also very beautiful. Which young man from the surrounding area hadn't had feelings for her?
Because of this, outsiders have spread many rumors that she is promiscuous, and some have even gone further.
Moreover, whenever she passes by these people, she gets gossiped about.
So she always takes a detour when she encounters these people, and today was no exception.
But before they could walk more than a few steps, they heard a familiar name.
"Wei Dong is a really capable kid!"
A tall, thin woman spoke enthusiastically: "Back when he was growing mushrooms, I knew he wasn't an ordinary person. Now I hear he's running some kind of company in the city. He's going to make a fortune!"
Upon hearing Li Weidong's name, Liu Xiaohong unconsciously slowed her pace.
The plump woman next to him rolled her eyes and said, "What's the use of making a fortune? No matter how capable Li Weidong is, he's still a member of the Li family. He has nothing to do with us."
Others chimed in, "That's right, blame it on your own son not being as capable as others!"
"I don't know how other people raise their sons. My good-for-nothing son was born in the same year as Weidong, but he can't even compare to him in the slightest. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others!"
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up: "Who said it has nothing to do with us? If you have a daughter, just say she's your daughter's name to Weidong, make him your son-in-law, and that's it!"
The tall, thin woman who had spoken earlier scoffed, "What are you talking about? They've already mentioned Zhou Xiaoye from the next village. I heard they're going to present the betrothal gifts on Sunday. How could anyone else possibly get a chance?"
Several families with daughters couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
After all, a son-in-law is like half a son. Even if you can't have a son as capable as Li Weidong, it's not bad to have such a capable son-in-law. You can even help your good-for-nothing son get rich together.
But they've already made their reservations, so there's no room for anyone else.
Liu Xiaohong, who was hiding to the side listening to this, couldn't help but sigh.
you do not say!
Zhou Xiaoye must have had some incredible luck, because he caught Li Weidong's eye even before he was fully grown up. It's truly enviable.
But the man laughed: "So what if I mentioned Zhou Xiaoye? Which capable man doesn't have several women by his side?"
"Putting everything else aside, didn't Li Weidong enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives after he became rich?"
Everyone turned to look.
The plump woman hesitated for a moment: "You're not talking about... Liu Xiaohong from Shanghe Village, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaohong couldn't help but take a few steps back and hide under a tree, afraid of being discovered.
The man nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Liu family girl!"
"Look, Li Weidong not only talked about Zhou Xiaoye, but he also has an ambiguous relationship with the Liu family girl. Since he already has two women, one or two more won't make a difference, right?"
"Anyway, he's capable. It's better for our daughter to marry someone like him than some idle, lazy bum, right?"
"Going back several decades, wealthy landlords would marry seven or eight wives!"
