He thought that Xie Ming, a servant, was not ordinary, let alone the identity of the young master Xie Ming mentioned.
If Old Lady Li really wanted to commit suicide and offended Xie Ming's young master, even if he was the village chief of Xingying Village, he would not be able to save her.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Li walked a lot faster. He was glad that he had not been idle recently. He was either going to the fields to catch locusts or arranging work for people. His body was much stronger than before.
After walking for a while, my waist doesn’t hurt and I don’t feel breathless.
When Village Chief Li walked to the village entrance and saw the situation, he felt that he really understood Old Lady Li.
As he expected, he provoked Young Master Xie Ming.
Old Mrs. Li sat slumped on the ground, crying loudly with tears and snot, trying to attract the villagers to help her vent her anger.
However, this idea was destined to fail, leaving her in despair.
Not to mention that Old Lady Li is a very bad person. After so many years, Old Lady Li relies on her son studying in the town and always keeps saying that her son will become a high-ranking official, looking down on the villagers.
So many women wanted to grab Old Lady Li's face when they saw her, and would never help her.
Another point is that in the past, there were several women who, in order to please Old Lady Li, thought that they would benefit from Li Jian's success in getting a high position, so they would flatter Old Lady Li with words.
But since Li Mengyue came to Xingying Village, she has single-handedly enabled the villagers to earn money at their doorsteps, changing the living standards of the entire village.
No one cares about the excuses that Old Lady Li’s son used to make when he became an official.
After all, if we expect Li Jian to become an official and help his fellow villagers, we don’t know how long it will take. It is better to seize the benefits that are in front of us.
Although Li Mengyue was so cruel to the Li family's old house, she had no grudges against the villagers.
Besides, Old Man and Old Lady Li were such cruel people. Not only did they torture Li An's family to death, but they also sold the twins in order to allow Li Jian to study abroad and become a disciple.
Although the villagers could not directly stop this matter, it made Old Lady Li's already bad reputation even worse.
Even if Mingyu and Minghao are not Grandma Li’s biological grandsons, she cannot sell the two brothers for Li Jian.
Some villagers knew that human traffickers could pay a high price of twenty taels per person, not to sell them to wealthy families as servants, but to some shady places.
Two good-looking boys were bought by someone, and not for a serious purpose at that. You can guess what will happen to them with just your toes.
Old Lady Li pretended to be deaf and dumb to all this, and only saw that the two children could be sold for forty taels of silver, which was enough for her son to study and become a disciple, plus the ten taels she needed, together with the loose change at home.
She didn't care about the miserable fate of the twins if she really sold them.
The key reason why Mrs. Li was able to do such a bad thing was closely related to Old Man Li’s connivance.
Doesn’t Old Man Li know that Mingyu and Minghao are his grandsons? He knows very well how others will look at him if he sells his grandsons.
However, these are not worth mentioning compared to the fact that Li Jian was able to successfully pass the examination and become a scholar under the guidance of a famous teacher.
After all, Old Man Li’s lifelong obsession was that his son could become an official, so that the Li family could change its status and no longer be seen as a peasant in the eyes of the nobles, but he himself could become one of the nobles.
Village chief Li was not unaware of what Old Man Li was thinking, so he sneered at him.
He would stay as far away from them as possible when some people in the village tried to curry favor with Old Man Li and Old Lady Li, either openly or secretly.
Fortunately for him, when Old Man Li and Old Lady Li were about to wipe out Li An's family, Yue girl came and not only saved Li An and his wife, but also gave the twins a new life.
