Chapter 020 Traitor 20
Mrs. Li was eager to repair the relationship between the two families. Even though she was so angry that she wanted to tear the other person's mouth apart, she could only force a smile.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't buy it, he felt a little anxious.
She had inquired about them; the two brothers were rare prodigies, already fluent in poetry and prose with astonishing talent before even entering school. While she didn't know much about the ways of the literati, she wasn't completely illiterate, and the embroidery was the most compelling evidence.
If you can curry favor with these two, why worry about not being able to enjoy wealth and glory?
What a pity. It's all Xiao Dashi's fault for being short-sighted and ruining a good hand of cards.
Wait, she thought left.
Since the elders couldn't do it, these two brothers were still young and must have never tasted the beauty of a woman. As long as she was gentle and attentive to win them over, why should she be afraid that they wouldn't set a trap?
Thinking of this, Xiao Li's voice softened a little, and a strong sense of resentment came over her.
She said quietly, "I know Xiao Dashi is a heartless and treacherous man. I was deceived by him and am just as miserable as you are. It's a pity that I'm just a girl with no relatives. How can I possibly twist my arm against a thigh?"
Little Li squeezed out a few tears and said, "We are all people who have suffered hardships together. You are just like my own brothers..."
Before the performance was over, Xiao Yan frowned and said, "Wait a moment."
"If I remember correctly, Auntie, you haven't yet gone through the three matchmakers and six engagements with Xiao Dashi? And it hasn't been recorded in the official records, has it?"
The court had laws on marriages, and all wedding ceremonies had to be recorded in official files for easy reference.
Since ancient times, a marriage between a man and a woman could only be considered a formal marriage after three matchmakers and six betrothals, which was recognized by the world. Even poor people would keep it simple, or exchange birth dates, etc.
However, no matter how simplified it is, it must be recorded in official records, otherwise the court law will not recognize the two as husband and wife. It is also a system of division of seniority between legitimate and illegitimate children.
When a man and a woman get married, the man wants to show his sincerity, and the woman wants to protect her own interests, and both will be recorded in the official case. "Black households" like Xiao Li naturally have something to hide and find excuses to shirk responsibility.
Therefore, according to court law, Xiao Li and Xiao Dashi could only be said to have had an unmediated affair. If they wanted to leave, how could they not? Even a married couple could divorce amicably, let alone two people whose marriage had not yet been recorded in the official case and who were not in a master-slave contract?
Xiao Yan used this point to refute Xiao Li's claim that "the arm cannot twist the thigh."
Little Li was speechless for a moment. She had never imagined that Xiao Yan actually knew that she and Xiao Dashi had not yet been officially recorded. She had no idea that Xiao Yan had only assumed that she was afraid to be recorded in the official case based on her "illegal household" status. She simply thought that Xiao Dashi had let the secret slip.
She secretly resented Xiao Dashi's evil deeds and wept softly, "That's why I said he had evil intentions. He beat me so that I could follow him without any status and could remarry him in the future. How could a weak woman like me resist? Besides, I have no relatives or friends. Where else can I go if I leave here?"
Xiao Yan's heart was as cold and hard as a pig that had been slaughtered in a slaughterhouse for ten years.
He asked, "So how did you survive before Xiao Dashi came along? You couldn't just starve to death, right?"
"If you have no relatives, you can establish a female household. According to our dynasty's laws, any female household without male children is exempt from military service and reduced taxes. As long as you work hard, it's not difficult to support yourself. Aunt, why have you fallen into this situation? Are you particularly spoiled?"
"Also, are all the men here dead? Why did Auntie still stay with Xiao Dashi even though she knew he wasn't a good person? Didn't she expect that?"
Little Li: “…”
Dirty words, crazy dirty words.
Xiao Yan's outburst completely disrupted Xiao Li's plan, and she wanted to smash the door with stones.
You are the only one who can do it, you are the only one who is smart, so you are showing off!
She couldn't just say yes, she was just too delicate, unwilling to suffer, and wanted to rely on others for support?
If she said this, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had bad intentions and that her life of wealth and glory would be completely over. She was not that stupid!
When it comes to eloquence, Xiao Li also realized that she could not beat Xiao Yan in an argument. After all, the other person was smarter than her and was also a scholar.
She cannot use her own weaknesses to attack others' strengths, she has to switch to the other side and attack!
Little Li said sadly, "I have always been weak, and I am sorry to make Brother Yan laugh."
Xiao Yan spoke quickly, "Really? Really? I don't think so. When Auntie was fighting with Shanjie's wife, she didn't look frail at all. Auntie was carrying the toilet bucket by herself, and she looked so powerful. She is so strong that she can lift a donkey without any problem! Auntie, you are too modest. You should believe in yourself!"
Xiao Li: “#@*%…”
Believe it!!!
Is there anyone who says that? How can you be so wicked? You gossip like a gossipy old woman, and it stinks worse than a toilet!
Xiao Li's heart was boiling with anger, but she had to suppress it, her face distorted.
She sneered in her heart. When these two brothers fell into her hands, she would definitely make them suffer! She had to cheat them out of both their money and their lives to relieve her anger today!
Little Li pretended to sprain her ankle, "Ouch! I think I sprained my ankle. Brother Yan, can you help me up?"
Xiao Yan replied through the door: "No!"
Little Li: “???”
Xiao Yan did not say anything about physical contact between men and women, because if he said that, Xiao Li would probably say that it was an emergency and too troublesome.
He coughed softly, "Aunt, don't you know that Xiao has always been weak? He was seriously ill a few days ago and hasn't recovered yet. Let alone supporting a strong aunt, even if he is exposed to the wind for a while, he will cough."
"Aunt, why don't you take a rest? I'll go back to my room. If you're sick, I'm afraid I'll come to your house and ask for money for medicine."
He sighed, "My brother is so worried that he's completely confused. He won't listen to any advice. If I catch a cold because of Aunt, I'm afraid there will be chaos again. For Aunt's sake, I won't cause any trouble."
Little Li: “???”
What do you mean by strong and powerful? Say it again! ?
How could a man be so delicate and even more smug than her? He even had any shame?
Little Li cursed wildly in her heart and pretended to be weak for a while, but there was no movement from inside. It seemed that the man was as hard as iron, and she was afraid that he would really go back to the room.
She stood outside in the breeze for a while. The ground was cold and hard, just like Xiao Yan's annoying lips.
Fearing that she would catch a cold and die, Mrs. Li waited unwillingly for a while, and could only turn around and leave with her eyes wide open.
Next time, wait for next time!
She just doesn't believe that she can't even take down a young boy!
When Xiao Li returned home, Xiao Dashi was lying on the bed groaning.
When Shanjie's family came over yesterday, they took the opportunity to beat him up several times.
He had some grudge against Shanjie's wife's family. The reason was that a few years ago, when they were fighting for water to irrigate farmland, he deliberately released their family's water into his own fields, and was eventually found by Shanjie's wife's family.
However, there was no evidence for this matter, and no one could prove that they saw him let the ball go, so the feud between the two families began.
That's why he felt that what happened yesterday must have been a collaboration between Shanjie's family and Shanjie's Yue family to extort money and vent their anger!
However, when he thought that Shanjie had his penis smashed by his wife and could no longer be a man, he suddenly felt relieved.
He deserved it! Who told Shanjie to look down on others? If he had no offspring, who would?
Xiao Dashi lay on his side for a while, then turned over to the other side.
He was kicked in the left buttock yesterday and still feels a dull pain, but if he asks Aunt Lihua to come and see him, he still has to save face.
That part is so private, and Aunt Lihua's face is full of wrinkles. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage if she were to see it?
The most important thing is that Huang said he was short before, so he didn't want to be the topic of gossip again!
Xiao Dashi was lying on his side on the bed when he heard the noise outside. The pain in his left hip made him a little impatient, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated with Xiao Li.
If this woman hadn't been set up, why would he have ended up like this?
The woman has long hair but little knowledge. She can't even figure this out. She is really an idiot!
Thinking of this, and feeling uncomfortable, he also felt like serving someone, so he said, "Pour me a glass of water!"
Little Li: “…”
Little Li had just felt humiliated and was feeling unhappy. When she heard the words that sounded like she was ordering a maid, and if it weren't for the short-sightedness of that idiot Xiao Dashi, how could she not be able to get along with the two brothers of the Xiao family?
But we still have to be patient for now, what a pity, it would be nice if it was Shanjie's family.
She knew that Xiao Dashi and the two brothers of the Xiao family had an irreconcilable hatred, so she had the intention of communicating with Shanjie privately. As long as Shanjie achieved success and fame, and Shanjie had always wanted to divorce his wife, she would be able to control him with her ability.
Unfortunately, no one expected that the woman's methods were so cruel that she could even be so brutal to her own husband.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li shrank her shoulders slightly.
She didn't dare to provoke such a cruel woman. If she was the wife of a wealthy family, she would not have torn her face apart out of consideration for her reputation. But Shanjie's wife was really as vicious as a snake!
Even if you have made all the calculations, you are still afraid of ruthless people who are willing to sacrifice their lives.
Now we can only tolerate this idiot Xiao Dashi. Once we capture the two brothers of the Xiao family, we won’t have to tolerate him anymore!
I think about it in my heart, but I don’t show it on my face.
Little Li sat on a stool, covering her face and crying softly. Her voice was as mournful as the cry of a nightingale.
Xiao Dashi likes women who are gentle and weak like dodder flowers best. They don’t need to be very beautiful, but their temperament must be gentle. It just so happens that Xiao Li is disguised as this type of woman.
Thinking of how humble and obedient little Li was in daily life, Xiao Dashi's heart couldn't help but soften a little.
He turned over and got out of bed, then accidentally sat on his bruised left buttock. He immediately grimaced, making his already plain appearance look even more vulgar.
Xiao Dashi limped to Xiao Li's side. The strong stench of sweat on his body and the strong stench from his mouth, which he had never washed or brushed his teeth in winter, almost made Xiao Li faint as soon as he opened his mouth.
Picking up Xiao Li's soft and white hand, Xiao Dashi thought he was a handsome man, but in fact he was just rubbing her like a fat pig.
He lowered his voice intentionally. This was something he heard from storytellers in teahouses - it was said that women loved men's deep voices the most, as they seemed particularly doting and had a unique masculine charm.
"My dear, what's wrong?"
Little Li: “…”
Oh God, please kill her! If she is guilty, please let the law punish her instead of letting her endure such words that make people's hair stand on end!!!
