Chapter 177: Taking Over
It was noon.
Li Yulan walked alone on the path.
Yuan, with Dadan and Erdan, ambushed at the location Li Yulan mentioned early on.
The big rock effectively blocked the figures of the mother and her two children.
Xu Jiahuai hurriedly and stealthily hid behind a tree, watching Li Yulan walking towards him alone. He waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no one behind Li Yulan, he immediately laughed.
Li Yulan, ah, Li Yulan!
I can't control you anymore.
Just wait, I will take you as my bride today, and then I will get your money and your family's workshop.
Relying on the relationship between Li Baisong and the county magistrate, he was able to get a job as a clerk in the yamen, preferably a household clerk.
The household clerks are the ones who can make the most money.
Xu Jiahuai's eyes were full of greed.
It would be fine if Li Baisong and the new county magistrate died together. There were so many women and children in the Li family, and he could just take advantage of the opportunity and take charge.
With such a big workshop, he continued to run the business and the money went into his pocket.
With the money, he went to the provincial capital to find a capable teacher, and passing the imperial examination was just around the corner.
When he became rich, he left Li Yulan at home to make money, and went out to buy a big house, employ servants, and live a carefree life.
The smile on Xu Jiahuai's face was both lewd and obscene.
Li Yulan looked around nervously, "Brother Jiahuai? Brother Jiahuai, are you here? Brother Jiahuai, if you are here, please come out."
Li Yulan took out a purse from her bosom and said, "I know that gathering information requires money. This money is what I asked my sisters-in-law for. Brother Jiahuai, if you can find out the information, you can take it. You don't have to pay me back in the future."
Xu Jiahuai's eyes lit up, he took two steps around, and pretended to be out of breath as he followed Li Yulan out.
"Yulan, Yulan, you are here. I knew you would come."
Xu Jiahuai's lips were chapped and he looked disheveled. At first glance, he looked as if he had not slept all night and had traveled a lot.
This little disguise was already easy for Xu Jiahuai.
Li Yulan took two steps forward and then stopped, "Brother Jiahuai, what are you doing..."
"I rushed back as soon as I heard the news. I was afraid you'd be anxious waiting. The city gates were still closed, so I bribed a gatekeeper. He told me that the city was still in chaos and your family was in jail. If I wanted to bribe the jailers through him, I didn't have enough money."
Xu Jiahuai glanced at the purse in Li Yulan's hand and then moved it away.
"Yulan, I know you don't trust me, so don't give me this money."
This sentence left Li Yulan stunned for a moment, and she frowned.
Xu Jiahuai turned around and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to see the man I bribed. When the time comes, you can give him the money and you'll know that I didn't lie to you."
This place is too close to Liantang Village. If he pounces on it, Li Yulan's shouting will easily attract people from Liantang Village.
He had no choice but to succeed today, so he tricked Li Yulan away and then had sex with her halfway through, making the matter a done deal...
Li Yulan glanced secretly in Yuan's direction.
Yuan was so anxious that she blinked frantically at Li Yulan.
I didn't expect Xu Xiucai to be so capable.
Yuan signaled Li Yulan to go, and she would bring Dadaner and Erdaner with her to follow them.
Li Yulan felt relieved and pretended to think about it in a conflicted manner, then nodded under Xu Jiahuai's expectant gaze.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Xu Jiahuai was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
Look, Li Yulan is still so gullible!
"Then let's go quickly. We can still get back before dark. Yulan, let me tell you..."
Xu Jiahuai never stopped talking along the way.
"Yulan, let's take a detour. If the villagers see us walking together, it will be bad for your reputation."
He was considerate in every way and seemed to be thinking about Li Yulan.
Li Yulan was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the past. Xu Jiahuai was like this, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, gentle and considerate, and would never make her feel embarrassed.
Qin Fangci's appearance suddenly popped up in Li Yulan's mind, and the few memories in her mind instantly vanished.
Dadan lowered his voice and said, "Mom, the bad man has deceived my aunt away. Let's go quickly and save my aunt!"
"Wait a minute, don't rush in. We can't follow too closely, okay? Didn't you hear Xu Xiucai say that he would take your aunt to find the man he bribed? We don't know what happened to your father and your grandmother. It would be great if we could get some information."
Yuan hoped that Xu Jiahuai was sincere in deceiving Li Yulan this time. If he could really find out the news about her mother-in-law, when the Xu family came to propose marriage, she would definitely say a few good words for Xu Xiucai in front of her mother-in-law.
Xu Jiahuai had no idea what Yuan was thinking. He darted his cunning eyes around and confirmed that there was no village or shop nearby. His fox tail was immediately exposed.
"Ouch, Yulan." Xu Jiahuai screamed and leaned towards Li Yulan.
Li Yulan was startled and took two steps back to avoid it. "What are you doing?!"
Li Yulan scolded harshly.
Xu Jiahuai squatted down and covered his feet. "Yulan, don't be mean. I didn't mean to do that. My legs were sore and I couldn't stand steadily. I ran back and forth today and walked too much. I was in a hurry, so I'm like this. I know you're anxious. Can we rest here for a while before we go on?"
"Yulan, can you give me a hand?"
Li Yulan took another step back. "If you want to rest, then rest. You always said that men and women shouldn't touch each other, so I won't help you."
Xu Jiahuai kept his eyes on Li Yulan. Seeing that Li Yulan was about to retreat, Xu Jiahuai suddenly said, "Yulan, look over there, there's a rabbit."
Li Yulan turned her head and looked over.
At the same time, Xu Jiahuai jumped up from the ground and hugged Li Yulan tightly in his arms like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
Li Yulan was shocked, "Xu Jiahuai! What do you want to do? Let me go!"
Xu Jiahuai sneered and tightened his arms around the person. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. You remember what I said. It seems you still miss me. What can I do? Of course, I will help you."
"Yulan, stop struggling. I know you have me in your heart. Will you marry me? I really can't live without you."
Li Yulan felt nauseous. She watched Xu Jiahuai kiss her and couldn't get away from him.
"Fourth sister, if someone wants to bully you, attack him from below. Once a man is injured there, even the strongest man will be in trouble."
Li Yulan raised her leg quickly and accurately, thrusting her knee upwards.
Thanks to mom for feeding her well in the past two months, she has grown taller and now has a strong support from her knee.
Before Xu Jiahuai's pouting lips closed, he let out a cry of pain.
Li Yulan took the opportunity to escape from Xu Jiahuai's arms and turned around to run away.
"Bitch! Stop right there!" Xu Jiahuai said this almost through gritted teeth. He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out. He wanted to chase her but couldn't get up. He saw Li Yulan's figure disappear around the corner.
