After a while, Li Hehua was brought by the woman to a house, which was the original owner's parents' home.
The woman pulled Li Hehua into the house and called out to the people inside: "Mother Hehua, your Hehua is back."
Everyone who heard the noise in the house came out. Leading the way was a woman in her forties or fifties, followed by a young woman holding a child and a burly man of about the same age. The last to come out was a boy of fifteen or sixteen, who was also very strong.
Li Hehua discovered that the original owner's family lived a pretty good life. At least they were all well dressed and had strong build and waists. It was obvious that they lived a good life.
Several people looked at Li Hehua, and when they saw the bag she was carrying, their faces changed. The middle-aged woman in the lead asked, "Hehua, why are you back at this time?"
Li Hehua guessed that this person should be the original owner's mother, and immediately said: "Mom, I was divorced and can only go home."
After hearing what Li Hehua said, except for the woman who had just brought her here, the faces of the other members of the Li family immediately turned ugly. Li Hehua's mother even frowned, "Divorced? The Zhang family actually dared to divorce you?! Are they so bold!"
The man behind Lotus Lady, the original owner's eldest brother Li Changfu, also spoke up at this time: "That old man from the Zhang family and that kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet actually dared to divorce you! How bold! I think they haven't seen how powerful our Li family is, and they don't even take our family seriously!"
Li Hehua frowned secretly. He was disgusted by the way this Li family member spoke. His first impression was very bad.
Seeing Li Hehua frown, the Li family thought she was helpless. Li Hehua's eldest sister-in-law immediately spoke up with a scolding tone: "I said, how can you come back like this? Those two people dared to do this to you, you have to teach them a lesson, what's the point of coming home like this!"
The youngest boy, Li Changshou, who was also Li Hehua's younger brother, also frowned and said unhappily, "That's right, don't tell us that you are such a coward."
Li Hehua was now certain that the original owner's family were not good people, let alone kind and reasonable people. If a married daughter was divorced, wouldn't the normal reaction be to ask what happened and then find a way to solve it? But this family was different. They didn't even ask and just wanted to show them some power. Their tone showed that they didn't take the Zhang family seriously. This was not the attitude that normal in-laws should have.
Li Hehua suppressed his worries and told the truth to the Li family: "It was not Qingshan and Qingshan's mother who divorced me, it was Zhang Tieshan who divorced me."
"What! Zhang Tieshan is back from the battlefield? He's not dead?" Li Changshou screamed in surprise, and the three people next to him were also very surprised.
Li Hehua nodded. "He came back and came to settle accounts with me. Then he divorced me. I couldn't do anything about it."
After hearing what Li Hehua said, the expressions of several people from the Li family changed again. Unlike their previous arrogance, there was a hint of fear on their faces.
Li Changfu also put away the expression of contempt on his face that showed him looking down on the Zhang family, and looked at his mother a little helplessly, "Mom, Zhang Tieshan is not dead, and he is back. What should we do? Will he look for us?" Their family often bullied Zhang's widowed mother and his younger brother, and even the child. They thought Zhang Tieshan had died on the battlefield, so they dared to bully the Zhang family blatantly and take advantage of it. What should they do now...
Lotus mother obviously remembered this, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and after a long while she managed to calm down and said, "What should we do? We are living our own lives, but we have done nothing."
"But..." Li Changfu swallowed his words under his mother's glare.
Li Hehua took in all the expressions of the Li family members and roughly understood in his mind: the Li family members thought that Zhang Tieshan would not come back after going to the war, so they dared to follow the original owner to bully the Zhang family unscrupulously. Now that they heard that Zhang Tieshan was back, everyone changed their faces. Obviously, the Li family members were very afraid of Zhang Tieshan.
After thinking for a while, Li Hehua reminded the Li family again: "Mom, I've been divorced and can't go back. What should I do now?"
The Li family members then remembered that Li Hehua was divorced and sent back to her parents' home. They looked at each other, and Li Hehua's eldest sister-in-law was the first to stand up and say, "Little sister, you are already married, so you belong to the Zhang family anyway. You even gave birth to a son for them. It's not okay for them to divorce you like this. Go back and talk to Zhang Tieshan. He won't be so heartless."
Li Changfu immediately agreed: "Right, right, right, I can't just divorce you like this, you go back and admit your mistake, beg Tieshan, and ask him to let you go back."
Hearing what the couple said, Li Hehua sneered in her heart, and probably understood what this family meant. However, she still turned her head calmly and looked at the original owner's mother, with a sad face, "Mom, what do you say? Zhang Tieshan is determined to divorce me, and it's impossible to beg him. You can't just ignore me."
Mother Lotus's eyes trembled, and she said with difficulty: "Hehua, how can I ignore you? But there is no extra room for you to live in the house. Besides, if you stay here, you will be criticized by the villagers, so you should go back. This couple is still the original couple. Please beg me. If one day doesn't work, then two days. I will definitely ask Tieshan to forgive you."
Li Hehua blinked, thinking that her family was indeed unreliable and deliberately tore off her face. "Before, you helped me bully the Zhang family, so I was divorced. Now you don't care about me?"
The Li family members looked embarrassed, but they were quickly covered up. The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family said, "Little sister, you are wrong. When did we bully the Zhang family? We were just helping you vent your anger. We were afraid that you would be bullied by the Zhang family. Why are you blaming us now?"
Li Changfu nodded quickly, "Yes, we just want to support you. You can't blame us for being divorced."
Lotus mother had no objection to what her son and daughter-in-law said.
Li Hehua was almost amused by the shamelessness of the Li family. He chuckled twice in his heart and knew that he had made a wrong trip today.
Now that things have come to this, she doesn't plan to argue with the Li family anymore. However, what needs to be dealt with still needs to be dealt with, so as to avoid any further entanglement with this family in the future. She doesn't want to have anything to do with such a family.
Li Hehua pretended to be extremely disappointed with his family, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. You are such people. It's my fault that I believed in you before. Now I know exactly what my family is like. Forget it, I won't beg you anymore. Since you are so ruthless, I have nothing to say. From now on, we have no relationship. Let's just be strangers to each other." After that, he turned around and left again. Although the Li family members behind him looked embarrassed, no one spoke to keep him.
Only after leaving Lijiazhuang did Li Hehua let out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, she had no real relationship with the Li family, so she was not sad.
It was no longer possible to go to the original owner's parents' home, and she had to find a place to live again. However, she didn't know many people. Apart from the Zhang family, there was only Cao Simei from Lianhua Village. It seemed that she could only ask her for help, and maybe she could find a way.
Li Hehua went to Lianhua Village again, and finally arrived at Cao Simei's home when it was almost dark.
Fourth sister Cao was very surprised to see Li Hehua, "Big sister, why are you here at this time?"
Li Hehua smiled shyly and explained her purpose directly: "Sister, do you know anyone in the village who wants to rent a house? I want to rent a place to live."
Fourth sister Cao was surprised and looked at the bag behind Li Hehua, "Big sister, what are you doing..."
Li Hehua didn't want to hide it, so she told the truth directly: "Sister, my husband's family divorced me, and my parents don't recognize me. I have nowhere to go. I want to rent a house in the village first and live there when I have money."
Cao Simei was so shocked by Li Hehua's words that she didn't know what to say for a moment and was obviously suffering from indigestion.
Li Hehua didn't know how to explain it specifically, so she simply held Cao Simei's hand and said, "Sister, this matter is hard to explain, but the most important thing now is to find a place to live. Sister, can you help me ask if there is any vacant house in the village that can be rented to me? Please, sister."
Cao Simei was pulled back to her senses and felt that the most urgent thing now was to help her find a place to live. However, she thought about it and couldn't think of any empty houses in the village. Every family in the village has a large population, and there are always houses that are not enough for people to live in. How could there be any empty houses? Cao Simei was embarrassed, "Big sister, there are no empty houses in our village. Basically, every household lives in a small space. Some brothers and sisters still live in one room when they are old enough."
Hearing what Cao Simei said, Li Hehua was a little disappointed, but he could also understand it. He sighed, "Sister, I understand. Thank you. I will think of a solution somewhere else and won't bother you anymore." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Fourth sister Cao held Li Hehua's hand and said, "Sister, where are you going so late? Stay at my house tonight and we'll think of a solution tomorrow."
Li Hehua shook her head and refused, "No need, sister. This will be too much trouble for you. If it doesn't work, I will just stay in the inn in town for one night."
Cao Simei held Li Hehua's hand and refused to let him go. "It's no trouble. Why are you going to town so late? Just stay at my house for one night. You can sleep with my daughter. Besides, you have to go to Old Man Wang's house to prepare a banquet the day after tomorrow. It's just right for you to stay at my house. You don't have to run back and forth. You can think of a solution after the banquet is over."
Hearing this, Li Hehua hesitated a little, thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed, thinking that he would definitely repay Sister Cao's family when he had the chance.
Cao Simei pulled Li Hehua into the house and gave a brief explanation to her family, but she did not mention the divorce. She only said that it was for the convenience of coming to Old Man Wang's house for the banquet. When her family heard this, they were very enthusiastic and polite to Li Hehua, which made Li Hehua even more grateful to Cao Simei in her heart.
Cao Simei arranged for her eldest daughter to take her to the room and settle her down, and then took her to have dinner together. This was the first time that Li Hehua had eaten around the table with everyone since she came to this world. She actually felt a little moved while eating, and secretly laughed at herself for having such a miserable life.
After dinner, Cao Simei boiled some water for Li Hehua to wash up, and let her go into the room to rest first.
Although the bed was not big and she had to sleep together with Cao Simei's eldest daughter, it was already very good for Li Hehua at the moment and enough for her to be grateful, because it was this family that saved her from having to sleep on the streets. She would definitely repay this family's kindness in the future.
Li Hehua was very tired today and fell asleep not long after lying in bed. When she woke up the next day, it was already bright. The people in Cao Simei's family had already got up and left breakfast in the pot for her.
Li Hehua didn't know how to thank this family, so she planned to cook lunch for them at noon as her small way of repaying them. When Cao Simei heard this, she was so happy that she immediately took out money and asked her younger son to buy some meat, and asked her older son to catch a fish in the river. She said that they had to have a good meal at noon and should not waste such a good chef. Li Hehua was left with a choice between laughing and crying.
While Li Hehua was preparing lunch in Lianhua Village, the Li family far away in Lijiazhuang welcomed uninvited guests. This day made them regret bullying the Zhang family.
