Chapter 230 Jumping into the well
If He had followed along today, when they arrived at Aunt Li's house, she would probably have taken a few more glances inside, but Xu Qingmeng and the others didn't pay much attention.
Xu Qingmeng was talking to Hui Niang and others at this time.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother was startled and asked subconsciously.
Hui Niang was also startled, and then looked towards the Li family's yard.
At this time, Little Lizi just came out from another alley, ran towards the Li family quickly, and kicked the door open.
Xu Qingmeng and others were a little slow to react, but Gu Yunyi reacted quickly and followed Little Leo in.
After entering, I saw a young woman covering her mouth, her eyes wide open, standing blankly by the well, looking like she didn't know what to do.
I didn't even know how to breathe.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?" Little Leo asked quickly.
When the young wife saw someone coming, she acted as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Quick, quick, quick... My mother jumped... jumped down..."
Xu Qingmeng, who followed closely behind, was startled and hurriedly followed.
Little Leo's face paused for a moment, then he rushed over with a quick step, and could still see clothes floating in the well water.
The Li family's wellhead was quite large, and even three people could go down. Little Li didn't even think twice, he just took off his coat and went down.
Gu Yunyi frowned and quickly picked up the rope next to him.
Xu Qingmeng and the Queen Mother also hurried over to help.
Hui Niang was holding Yuanbao in her arms but couldn't help, so she ran out and shouted to the neighbors around her.
By the time a lot of people had gathered, Little Li had already pulled Aunt Li up, and both of their faces were bruised.
Little Li was frozen, and Aunt Li looked as if she had been beaten, with a swollen nose and face.
The people from the Li family have all returned by now. Now the whole family is sighing in the house. I think only they themselves know how it feels.
Little Leo's wife was also frightened. She cried all the way to welcome Little Leo back home. Even though Little Leo was wrapped in a thick quilt, he was still shivering, which made people around him sigh.
The story of Aunt Li jumping into the well spread among the neighbors.
Xu Qingmeng and others didn't know much about the Li family, so they were a little confused when they heard about the sudden appearance of a daughter-in-law.
"Hey, it's been so long, why are you still making a fuss?"
"Isn't it? This is either beating or scolding Aunt Li, is it that serious?"
"That's right, this daughter-in-law is not a good one either, she's very powerful!"
Xu Qingmeng asked doubtfully, "Didn't Aunt Li say that her son hasn't gotten married yet?"
An old lady heard this and said quickly, "You must be new here. The Li family's affairs are very complicated!"
"How should I put it? The troubles of the Li family cannot be explained in a few words."
"Liu Ying is the daughter of a scholar. Originally, the son of the Li family planned to marry Liu Ying after he passed the exam. But who would have thought that Aunt Li was so foolish that she sent her distant niece to her son's bed when he was drunk. Fortunately, he didn't drink much, so his son noticed it, and Liu Ying accidentally found out, so there was a big fuss."
"The Liu family only had one precious daughter, so they naturally didn't want her to marry into such a family. They didn't allow Liu Ying to associate with Li Cheng, and Li Cheng didn't pass the exam because of that. Fortunately, Liu Ying really liked Li Cheng and got together with him despite her parents' opposition. Later, Li Cheng also opened a bookstore."
"It was originally a good idea, but Mrs. Li didn't like her in the first place, and she was afraid that she couldn't control Liu Ying, so she kept ordering her around, trying to establish her authority. In the end, she didn't control it well, and Liu Ying had a miscarriage."
"The Li family only has this one son, and Old Li originally wanted to have more grandchildren. Li Ben already felt guilty towards Liu Ying, and now this happened. Moreover, this miscarriage means that Liu Ying may not be able to have children in the future. The whole family will blame her for this. None of her sons and husband are on her side."
This was the first time Xu Qingmeng knew about it, and she really didn’t know.
Although everyone felt that Aunt Li was too harsh on her daughter-in-law at first, because everyone sympathized with the weak, they now felt that Liu Ying was going a bit too far.
Of course, not everyone thinks so. Everyone has their own opinions on this matter.
He also knew about it at home and was still a little worried about it. After Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi returned, they stayed at Li's house for a long time and didn't even come back for dinner.
As expected, Fang Ziheng's family had another meal at Gu's house.
The food at the Gu family is delicious. It would be great if I could eat it every day, but I know that’s impossible, so I just take advantage of every meal I can get.
Hui Niang knew that Xin Ting was also good at cooking, and she joked with Xu Qingmeng, "Why was she betrothed to Zhou Yuanjia? She has two younger brothers."
But that’s all in the past.
During the meal, everyone mentioned Aunt Li again, and everyone sighed.
It was also the first time that Xu Qingmeng and others knew about the Li family, but now it seemed that the two families were not getting along well.
Xu Qingmeng was more sympathetic to Liu Ying. After all, she heard that the Liu family was quite well off. For a girl like her, the Li family was actually marrying above their station in terms of social status.
Despite Li Cheng's family situation, she still chose him. Liu Ying was a good girl, but it was what happened afterwards that tormented her.
In such an era, if a woman cannot have children, her life is over.
If Li Cheng is a man of deep affection and loyalty, he may not abandon Liu Ying, but what if something changes? Li Cheng may feel guilty towards Liu Ying now, but who can say what will happen in the future?
The Queen Mother said, "No matter what, you should stay away from them in the future. After all, this is someone else's family affair and it's not easy to get involved. Once you get involved, you never know what kind of trouble will happen in the future."
Hui Niang ate the delicious food without even looking up, and said, "We are not from the same path, why are you interfering?"
Hui Niang is a carefree person and says whatever she thinks. Besides, Fang Ziheng will go to school after spring, and taking care of the children is enough for her.
Wouldn't it be nice to use the limited time you have to play with Xu Qingmeng?
Hui Niang had thought it through. When she came to the provincial capital, all she needed was Xu Qingmeng as a friend.
Moreover, listening to the affairs of the Li family made her scalp tingle. Is she crazy?
Xu Qingmeng actually felt the same way. After the confinement period, she was still very busy.
Of course, Xu Qingmeng felt that she and Liu Ying could not get along well. Although she was loyal and righteous, she did not consider her parents.
