Li Daxing said with a look of disgust,
"Look at him, does he look like someone who can do manual labor?"
I want a child bride, not a bunch of useless people to take back with me.
"What are you saying? You've already lost three little girls in your family. You could train this kid to be a child bride if you took her back, but you can't treat people like dirt every time."
If she's raised well, she can eventually be raised as a child bride.
Li Daxing sighed.
"Alright. Let's just pick one at random. I think these two look good, and this one is a bit bigger. I guess it can do the work too."
Li Daxing picked up July.
Chun Gui, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out his hand.
"Don't rush to take the person away. It's cash on delivery. What if you take the person away and don't pay?"
"Do you think I owe you money?"
"Li Daxing, everyone knows who you are."
I'm telling you, if you don't have money, don't even think about taking him away.
Chun Gui knew Li Daxing all too well. Li Daxing didn't know what kind of money he made, but his family was rich.
But all her daughters died, and when she finally had a son, he was mentally challenged.
Li Daxing is a ruthless man. In order to find a child bride for his mentally challenged son, he has already ruined several young girls.
No little girl who came to their family would survive more than three months.
When Li Daxing gets into a fight, he beats people to death.
Besides, which family in Li Daxing's village hasn't owed money?
He's a complete scoundrel.
Li Daxing's eyes were fierce, but he knew that although Chun Gui wasn't much of a threat, he could afford to offend him.
But Chunwang was someone he couldn't afford to offend; Chunwang had powerful backers.
No one should mess with Chunwang; the people behind Chunwang are ruthless.
"Okay, okay, here's the money! You're obsessed with money."
Li Daxing fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a wad of money, and threw it directly onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Just then, Xiao Guai, who was lying there pretending to be unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.
He said in a daze,
"Uncle, where is this? I want my mom."
Before Chun Gui could speak, Li Daxing looked at the still unconscious Qi Yue in his arms, and with a hint of disgust, tossed the child onto the bed.
"I think I should wake this one up. This one looks old and hasn't woken up for most of the day. I guess he has some kind of illness."
He picked up Xiao Guai and left, and Xiao Guai pretended to cry and shout.
"I want my mom."
"Shut up, if you cry again I'll beat you up. Once you're at our house and doing your chores, this will be your home."
Little Guai was so frightened that she shut her mouth, with two tears hanging on her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
Chun Gui completely ignored all of this and hurriedly picked up the money on the kang (a heated brick bed) and counted it.
It was exactly 500 yuan, which Li Daxing had clearly prepared in advance.
July also woke up in a hurry; he hadn't expected Xiao Guai to wake up so suddenly.
It disrupted my plans.
This Li Daxing doesn't look like a good person at all; he has a fierce look on his face.
I was a little flustered and worried about Xiaoguai.
Xiao Guai is so stubborn. What if she accidentally gets beaten to death by Li Daxing?
If it were me, I could endure the humiliation, but Xiao Guai's temper definitely wouldn't allow it.
But before he could get any wild thoughts out of him, Chun Gui, who was next to him, saw that she had woken up.
He said coldly,
"woke up?
Remember, I'm your father, and that's your mother next door. From now on, this is your home, so be a good boy/girl.
July nodded obediently.
"father!"
Chun Gui couldn't bring himself to like the little girl; she was so thin and small, he didn't know if he could even raise her.
All that could be heard was the voice of his wife, Ximei, from next door.
"Is she awake? If she is, quickly get that girl up."
Teach her how to chop wood and feed the pigs; these things have to be done by someone.
Chun Gui hurriedly said.
"Honey, don't worry about it, I'll definitely teach her how to do this!"
"Starting today, teach her how to do laundry and cook, then you won't have to do anything."
July pouted. A grown man like him actually wanted to order around a little girl while his wife did nothing.
Who are these people in this family?
If it weren't for the need to escape, I wouldn't be suffering this injustice here.
As a result, Chun Gui led him to the backyard. As soon as they stepped out of the house, July was so cold that he shivered.
Chun Gui frowned and glanced back at Qi Yue's shivering appearance.
He said with dissatisfaction,
"Look at yourself! It's so cold outside."
Just get used to it; winter is still a long way off.
It's snowing today, so don't go out to fetch water. Instead, learn to chop wood in the backyard. I'll teach you.
Chun Gui demonstrated how to chop wood with an axe.
In July, holding an axe taller than himself, he nearly chopped off his own toes.
She received a hard slap on the back, a slap that almost knocked her heart, liver, and lungs out.
The pain brought tears to July's eyes.
"How can you be so stupid? What use are you?"
This is how you use this axe, this is how you swing it! Focus your strength on this point.
"I'm telling you, if you don't finish chopping all this firewood today, you won't have any dinner tonight."
We don't support idlers in this family. If you don't work hard, you'll be going hungry later.
After saying this, Chun Gui turned and left, completely disregarding the little child and leaving him in the empty backyard.
July held back her tears, her mind filled with nothing but cursing. This couple was utterly heartless; they didn't even treat the child they bought as a human being.
Judging from what Li Daxing and Chun Gui said, Li Daxing isn't a good person either.
