Chapter 266 The fight started
Li Ayang looked down and his face turned grim. He took two steps forward and looked at Li's face with gritted teeth. "Chrysanthemum? You're back?"
Looking at this man before her, who was completely different from the man she had been seeing more than a decade ago, Li's heart was pounding. Especially when she met his gaze, she quickly lowered her head. "Yes, come back to see me, Dad and Mom."
Li Ayang took a deep breath, his expression softening a bit. "You can go in, but they can't."
The spear in his hand was pointed at Gu Jiayue and the others who heard the sound and couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.
Mrs. Li explained anxiously, "Brother Yang, they are my husband and children. I want my father and mother to meet them."
Li Ayang's expression was a little unnatural, but he still said firmly: "No, they are from outside the village. The village has regulations and outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
"But!" Li was about to say something when Gu Huangtai, who had been silent, tugged at his sleeve. "Juhua, go in and take a look first. If Dad and Mom accept you, we can take them to Taohua Village to meet next time."
As Gu Huangtai spoke, Li Ayang, standing across from him, studied him intently, his gaze finally settling on his amputated leg. Then, he let out a harsh laugh: "Chrysanthemum, you actually ran away from your marriage for this Han man. I thought he would grow up to be some great hero. I didn't expect you'd become a cripple!"
Gu Huangtai's face flushed red in an instant, and his originally calm eyes glared at Li Ayang angrily.
Li Ayang was not afraid either. He raised his head and glared at Gu Huangtai. Finally, Gu Huangtai lowered his head dejectedly.
Yes, Li Ayang was not wrong. He did not become an invincible hero. He could not even provide food and clothing for his wife and daughter. What was even worse was that he had to rely on his wife and daughter for support and service.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, especially when he saw Li Juhua and Li Ayang standing together out of the corner of his eye and thought they were a perfect match, he felt even more depressed.
At that moment, a pair of warm little hands grasped the large hands that were pulling him. "Dad, don't take his words to heart. I think you're the best dad in the world. All the teachers praise the teaching aids you made."
Faced with Gu Jiayue's comfort, Gu Huangtai couldn't help but tear up.
Li looked back, but Gu Huangtai was looking down at her, so she didn't see his expression. But that didn't stop her from defending her man. "Li Ayang, what nonsense are you talking about? The man I, Li Juhua, choose is the best. Even if he's missing a leg, he's still the best in my heart. No one can compare!"
Gu Huangtai lowered his head, tears streaming down his red eyes, but no one noticed.
Li Ayang slammed the red tasseled spear into the ground, his tone extremely aggressive. "Oh? Really? Then let him compete with me?"
Because of the force, the muscles that were originally hidden in the clothes bulged instantly.
Gu Jiayue compared them secretly and found that her thighs were not even as thick as the other person's arms.
Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "I came back today to see my parents, not to fight with you. If you want to fight, I will definitely not be polite next time we meet."
Well, bring Hu Zi with you next time. So what if he has muscles? Hu Zi has martial arts skills and can chop you down with two swords.
Hu Zi, who was wandering outside the village chief's house, suddenly felt cold all over. The village chief's wife happened to be out and saw him. "Hu Zi? What's wrong with you?"
Hu Zi's old face suddenly turned red, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards the village chief's house, but the yard was deserted and there was nothing there.
"Hu Zi?" Seeing that Hu Zi did not respond, the village chief's wife called out again.
Hu Zi finally came to his senses. "Oh, it's nothing, I just happened to be passing by here while exercising."
Duan said "oh" and pointed to the yard. "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Hu Zi wanted to agree, but when the words came to his lips, he backed off. "No, Auntie, I'm going back first."
Duan was just being polite and didn't force the issue when he was rejected.
As for Gu Jiayue and her group, except for Li, everyone else was stopped at the village gate.
Li entered the village alone with all the gifts. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, she finally arrived at her parents' home.
Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar stilt house in front of her, Li's eyes couldn't help but become red.
"Who are you? Why are you crying at my house?" At this time, a child about ten years old poked his head out from upstairs and saw Li.
Mrs. Li looked up at the child and was very excited after seeing his features clearly. "You are my brother's child, right? I am your aunt."
The child tilted his head. "Aunt? Grandma never told me I had an aunt."
Hearing this, Li's heart felt as if it was torn into two pieces and then twisted together again, causing her to ache.
Ah mother still blames her.
She gathered herself together, looked up and was about to say something when a big hand reached out from the window, pulled the child back and closed the window.
Li recognized those hands; they belonged to her mother. "Mom, I'm Juhua. I'm here to see you and Dad. Please open the door."
But no matter how Li shouted, there was no movement in the stilt house.
After the New Year, the temperature in Annan County began to rise, but it was still a bit cold when the wind blew.
Li shivered in the wind, and her shouting gradually weakened.
Just when she was about to give up, the window on the second floor opened again.
It was the same child from before, but now his face was filled with disgust. "Go away! You're not welcome in my house, you traitor!"
After hearing this, Li's body was shaky. What did Dad and Mom say to the child just now?
"Mother, can you please let me in to see you guys?" Li was very sad, but she still wanted a chance to make peace.
It was wrong for her to run away from her marriage, but she really didn't want to repeat the life she could see the end of. More importantly, she was related to Li Ayang. She remembered meeting a traveling doctor when she was a child, who told her that inbreeding was not a good thing.
He remembered these words for his whole life, which is why he couldn't get over it and ran away from the marriage.
But her parents didn't believe her and just kept accusing her of betraying her faith and nation.
After the child finished speaking, he retracted his head and the window closed again.
A woman came out from next door. She was her neighbor.
She was holding a basin of water in her hand. When Li opened her mouth to call for help, the woman raised her hand and poured all the cold water on Li.
A cold wind blew from head to toe, and Li was shivering all over.
Li looked up at the woman in disbelief. "Auntie, you..."
"Bah, you shameless whore! How dare you go against the decision of our ancestors? You are not welcome in our village. Get out of here!"
Li was so angry that she wanted to cry. She opened her mouth to argue, but saw someone walking towards her.
She knew that the people in the village were disgusted by what she had done, and if she allowed them to surround her, she would definitely be criticized.
So she had to put down the gift, turn around and leave quickly.
At the entrance of the village, fighting had already begun.
