Hearing Li Qingfeng"s words, Mrs. Liu almost laughed out of anger, Li Qingling was kind? No matter who was kind, it was not"s turn to be kind!She angrily pulled Li Qingfu behind her, and glared at Li Qingling: "No matter what, Qing Fu is your little brother, Li Qingling, how could you be so ruthless?"
She wouldn"t give face to someone who dared to harm her darling grandson.
Li Qingling patted Li Qingfeng"s shoulders and laughed, "From the looks of it, Grandma doesn"t want us to stay in her house. Xiao Feng, you go and tell Zhi Moge that the betrothal gift will be in the village for a round, and we"ll carry it back to her house."
She did not believe that she was unable to deal with Mrs. Liu.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Liu heard those words, her entire body stiffened.
She nearly slapped herself in the face. How could she forget such an important matter?
If she watched Li Qingling"s betrothal gift being brought back to their home, she would regret it until she died.
"Ai... "Ai …" Mrs. Liu hurriedly walked forward and pulled Li Qingfeng"s hand. Looking at Li Qingling, he forced out a smile and said, "It"s normal for brothers and sisters to have a little argument with each other. Grandma was a little anxious just now, and blamed you wrongly, so don"t take it to heart!"
For the sake of her bridal gift, Li Qingling was willing to lower his head to her like that, Li Qingling felt that it had broadened his horizons.
It was true that money could make a fool out of a man!
Li Qingfu, who was originally full of himself, was stunned after hearing this. Didn"t Grandma stick her head out for him? Why did she lower her head like Li Qingling?
He reached out to pull Mrs. Liu"s sleeve, "Grandma, what are you doing? Didn"t you see her bullying me? " When did Grandmother change? In the past, whenever he had an argument with Li Qingling, his grandmother would always stand up for him regardless of whether he was innocent or not.
Mrs. Liu clenched her teeth and turned to look at Li Qingfu. She gave him a look and then turned to Li Qingling and said, "Xiao Ling, since your master is magnanimous, then I will forgive your younger cousin this time. He also didn"t mean it."
In order to obtain Li Qingling"s betrothal gifts, she had given up his old face.
It was a pity that Li Qingfu was not that smart, and did not understand the look in Mrs. Liu"s eyes. He only knew that if his grandmother did not help him this time, he would not be in a good mood.
With a dark face, he said loudly, "Grandma, are you stupid? She was the one who hurt me, why are you still helping her? " He had never been so vexed before. "If she doesn"t give me an explanation today, then don"t even think about getting her hired job done."
Li Qingfu threatened them before they could even finish speaking.
Li Qingling really wanted to clap his hands in applause for Li Qingfu. He had helped her out greatly.
Initially, she did not want to place the betrothal gift in Old Lee. However, due to the Village Chief"s request, in order to give face to the Village Chief, she had no choice but to accept.
She quietly reached out her hand to pinch Li Qingfeng"s hand, and Li Qingfeng grasped his hand back in understanding. She lowered her head and smiled, and when he lifted her head, his face revealed a sorrowful expression.
"Since my cousin hates me so much, I can only leave." With that, she did not wait for Mrs. Liu"s reply and turned, walking out.
Seeing that, Mrs. Liu extended his hand out to stop sher, but Li Qingfeng did not give her the chance, he held her hand and asked her, how was she going to settle this matter with Li Qingfu?
Li Qingling walked outside, and the red eyes of hers entered the eyes of the villagers.
"Xiao Ling, what"s going on? Who bullied you? " Auntie Huang anxiously asked as she walked over and pulled Li Qingling"s hand.
Just now, she had also heard a sound coming from inside, but because this was the Old Lee, she could not casually barge in to take a look.
When she saw Li Qingling walking out with his eyes red, she immediately thought of something.
Li Qingling lowered his head and whispered. His cousin didn"t like me being in his house …
With just that one sentence, Auntie Huang completely understood.
She held Li Qingling"s hand, and bellowed: "Go, let"s go home, who wants to stay here?"
It was fine if you wanted to steal Xiao Ling"s betrothal gift, but now you gave Xiao Ling a look, it was unbearable.
With such a large commotion, Old Li and Li Laifu who were chatting heard it too. The father and son duo looked at each other and quickly walked over.
"Nephew Daughter, what"s wrong? Who bullied you? You tell Uncle Uncle, Uncle Uncle will stand up for you. " Li Laifu said while looking at Li Qingling with a smile.
Without waiting for Li Qingling to speak, Auntie Huang said, "This requires me to ask your son. Since your family does not welcome Xiao Ling here, why bother taking care of this matter?"
She was extremely dissatisfied with Old Li"s family.
In his heart, Li Laifu resented his son for destroying him, but he had no choice but to reveal a smile on his face. He comforted Li Qingling in a small voice, "Nephew Daughter, don"t be angry, I"ll get your brother out here to apologize to you right now." Once he finished comforting Li Qingling, he loudly shouted at the door, "Li Qingfu, get out here right now!"
How could he have given birth to such a brainless son? The mud couldn"t help the wall.
Old Li frowned slightly as he looked straight at Li Qingling, asking him if there was any conflict between her and Li Qingfu.
Li Qingfu was his grandson, and in his heart, he did not want to see Li Qingfu apologize and pay respects to Li Qingling in front of so many people, it was under Li Qingfu"s face, and now, Li Qingfu"s face, was also equivalent to his, Old Lee"s, face.
This was not what he wanted to see.
Li Qingling raised his head and glanced at Old Li. With a cold expression, he roughly told him everything that had happened in the house earlier. In the end, she added, "Grandfather, if you didn"t sincerely help me, I wouldn"t have troubled you guys."
The joyous occasion between her and Liu Zhimo really did not want to be mixed up by these villains, spoiling her mood.
"Xiao Ling, these words of yours are going to hurt Grandfather"s heart. You are my biological granddaughter, so how can we not sincerely help you?"
His words were said without hesitation or blush, as if he was truly treating Li Qingling with sincerity.
"That"s right, Nephew Daughter, we are relatives of direct relatives. Of course we are sincerely here to help you prepare for your wedding." Li Laifu immediately took over the conversation, he was afraid that Li Qingling would walk away and leave and his plan would be ruined.
How could he be willing when he was just a step away?
"Nephew Daughter, just you wait, I will go and capture that disappointing little brother of yours and apologize to you."
With that said, he walked into the house with big strides, and in a few steps he pulled Li Qingfu out.
He pinched Li Qingfu"s hands, telling him to quickly apologize to Li Qingling.
Although Li Qingfu was an arrogant person, he was still afraid of his father.
Under Li Laifu"s coercion, he was unwilling to give his apology.
Li Qingling sighed in his heart. His wish to return home could no longer be fulfilled.
Li Qingfu had already apologized to her. If she did not let this matter go, then it would be her fault.
She looked at Li Qingfu coldly, "This time, I"ll forgive you. If there"s a next time, don"t blame me." She wasn"t a good-natured person to begin with. Whoever dared to offend her, she would definitely do it back.
Seeing that today was a good day for her and Liu Zhimo, she could barely forgive him this time.
But there would be no more examples.
Li Qingfu hated Li Qingling to death in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
"Alright, what kind of enmity exists between brother and sister? As long as the misunderstanding is resolved. " Li Laifu took the opportunity to say a few words to ease up the atmosphere, "He Mo is about to arrive, Xiao Ling, you can enter the room and take a seat!"
Today, he would first stabilize this d.a.m.ned girl. After he obtains her betrothal gift, he wouldn"t need to be courteous to her.
Li Qingling shot a glance at Li Laifu, she acknowledged him and pulled Li Qingfeng back into the house.
Not long after she went in, Liu Zhimo brought someone over to take the betrothal gift.
When Mrs. Liu saw the case of betrothal gifts brought in, her drooping lips couldn"t help but twitch.
With so many betrothal gifts, she could take them to the Huang Family to hire her eldest son.
She could save a lot of money.
"Yo, there"s even a pair of geese here. The ink can really do it!" When the villagers saw that pair of geese, a male and a female, they all began to discuss among themselves.
Wild geese were very difficult to catch. The villagers would usually replace them with rooster hens, and very few people would actually go and catch a pair of wild geese.
This Liu Zhimo brought out a pair of geese, it could be seen that he really valued Li Qingling.
"That"s right, that"s right. Today, we will truly broaden our horizons."
"This is the first betrothal gift in the village."
The families of the villagers weren"t very well off, and they wouldn"t be so generous in their employment.
This time, after seeing Liu Zhimo"s betrothal gift, he was truly jealous and envious.
Liu Zhimo pa.s.sed one of the betrothal gifts to Mrs. Liu. When Mrs. Liu saw something she had never seen before, her eyes shone brightly.
However, when she saw the final gift, her smile froze.
Sixteen taels?
This gift was 16 taels of silver? Could there be a mistake? Why was there so little?
She originally thought that the gift money wouldn"t be over a hundred taels, but would it still be a few dozen taels?
Why is it only sixteen taels?
"Ink, this …" Mrs. Liu raised his head and looked at Liu Zhimo, and then pointed to the gift payment on the betrothal gift list, "This … Is there a mistake? "
Liu Zhimo said with a calm expression: "Grandma, it"s like this. I don"t have much silver with me, and I already bought so many things, so I don"t have much left. Pausing, his tone became even more sincere. "Grandmother, you can rest a.s.sured that I will work hard and not treat Ling"er unfairly."
Who cares if you treat Li Qingling well? Did she want the gift money?
Mrs. Liu"s face became even more ugly.
Auntie Huang who was standing at the side did not have such a good mood, "Liu Chunhua, do you think that it"s too little or too little? "Ask everyone. With so many betrothal gifts and sixteen silver taels as compensation, is it still not a small sum?"
Liu Chunhua"s appet.i.te was really huge, and she dared to despise being treated like a n.o.body for sixteen taels of silver. In the village, a family member could only use one or two taels of silver a year, so this sixteen taels could be used to chew for many years.
