The Strong Wife From Peasant Family

Li Qingfeng laughed helplessly and said, "Isn"t this what grandfather wants? I"m just following your wishes. " This grandfather of his wanted to threaten them. Seeing that they were not threatened at all, his expression changed. His temperament truly caused one to look down on him.

Old Li choked a bit upon hearing Li Qingfeng"s words, he tightly clenched his fists and stared at Li Qingfeng for a while, then snorted: "Looks like all of you really want to get rid of us." If that wasn"t the case, why would they impatiently nod and agree after he said those words?

He suspected that they had been waiting for him to say this.

It had to be said that Old Li had guessed correctly, it was just that if he did not threaten Li Qingling and the others with his words, Li Qingling and the others would not have gone all out, and would not have accepted his words.

After all, this was something that he had committed himself, so he could only bear the consequences.

Li Qingfeng"s expression turned serious as he looked at Old Li, "Grandfather, what you said is wrong. If you want to break off all relations with us, it was you who said it personally, not us." If he wanted them to bear the crime of being unfilial, he wouldn"t even think about it.

They would not take this loss.

Seeing Li Qingfeng calmly refute Old Li"s words, Li Qingling nodded his head in gratification. His little brother had grown up, so he would not be casually bullied by others anymore.

In a few years, he would be able to support his family.

In an instant, she used the pride of someone who had just grown up in her family.

Old Li choked on his words again, his face turning green and white. He thought that Li Qingling"s glib tongue would be able to choke someone to death with a single sentence, but he never thought that Li Qingfeng"s eloquence was not inferior to Li Qingling"s.

If Li Qingfu had a eloquent talent like Li Qingfeng, he wouldn"t have to worry about having such an agile reaction.

It was a pity, though, that Li Qingfu was still not a match for Li Qingfeng!

"Let me ask you this, do you really want to break off all ties with us?"

Li Qingfeng replied unhurriedly: "You shouldn"t be asking me this, I"ll have to ask you."

If he answered that all the charges would be placed on his head, he would be stabbed in the spine as soon as he left the house.

Most importantly, it might affect his Imperial examinations in the future as well.

For various reasons, he couldn"t fall into Old Li"s trap.

Old Li was regretting his decision. He should not have said such decisive words, and after he had said them, he was embarra.s.sed.

Looking at Li Qingfeng"s calm expression, he opened his mouth, but couldn"t find the words to go back on his words.

He was too old to lose face.

Mrs. Liu looked at Old Li for a long while without uttering a single word. She was so anxious that she couldn"t wait any longer. We don"t want anything to do with you guys. " After a pause, she continued, "Now that we have nothing to do with each other, you all can scram."

Get out of here, get out of here, and when they do, the betrothal gifts will be hers.

If she didn"t use those betrothal gifts, she could use them to exchange for silver. She reckoned that she would be able to exchange them for quite a lot.

Thinking about that, Mrs. Liu"s heart burned with anger, she wished that Li Qingfeng and the others could immediately scram, that she could go and lighten the betrothal gift.

Li Qingfeng glanced at Mrs. Liu, then turned to look at the village chief, and requested: "Cun Zhangyeye, I believe you have heard everything that has been said just now clearly. I am begging Cun Zhangyeye here to be our witness, and to not let the people outside misunderstand that it was us who proposed to sever our relationship with Grandfather."

It would be more convincing for the village chief to speak up for them.

When the villagers heard this, they would not scold and scold them.

This was not their fault in the first place. They should not have to suffer such infamy.

The village chief looked at Old Li with extreme disappointment, and when he turned to Li Qingfeng, he smiled and nodded.

Old Li would definitely regret it. He would definitely regret everything he had done for today.

He once again deeply understood the principle of marrying a wife and being a sage. This woman was indeed a burden to his family.

Her reputation had also been ruined by her.

"Then I"ll have to trouble Cun Zhangyeye to count my betrothal gift." In order to not leave a bad impression on the village chief, Li Qingling did not say that he would write a written cut off, and only asked the village chief to count the betrothal gifts.

When the Village Head saw his betrothal gift, he would most likely stand on their side.

"Sure …" The village chief stood up with his hands behind his back and looked at Old Li, telling him to lead the way and count Li Qingling"s betrothal gifts.

It would be hard for Old Li to dismount from the tiger now. If he stopped Li Qingling and did not let her go check out the betrothal gift, the village chief would definitely object.

However, if Li Qingling and the others were to count the betrothal gifts and see those that were missing, then he would have no face left at all.

He quietly glanced at Mrs. Liu, and although Mrs. Liu did not catch his gaze, she started to mutter on her own, "No, those are my family"s betrothal gifts, you cannot touch them casually." If he let her take it out after he put it in her pocket, it would definitely dig out her heart.

Seeing that, Old Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that Mrs. Liu still had some use.

In the current situation, the bigger the better.

Li Qingling and the other two did not make a sound, they directly looked at the village chief, telling him to go and handle it.

The Village Head was the biggest here, and he had the best voice.

The village chief"s face sunk. He did not look at Mrs. Liu, but stared at him, "Old Li, if this matter gets out of hand, who do you think will be the one to lose face?"

In the past, he was quite clear about Old Li, but now, he was really more and more confused.

They all said that their families were ugly, and not only did he not stop Mrs. Liu, he even allowed Mrs. Liu to make a ruckus here.

Old Li"s face changed two more times, before letting Mrs. Liu shut up. He glanced at Li Qingling and the other two, and said unhappily, "Follow me!" Speak, he said, leading the way to the room where the betrothal gift was placed.

Mrs. Liu really wanted to continue acting so rashly, but she was afraid that Old Li would get angry, so she stomped her feet in anger and quickly followed.

Li Qingling and the others also followed suit. Upon entering the bridal gift room, Old Li said with a darkened face, "The bridal gift is already here, if you want to carry it away, hurry up and carry it away!" He was not annoyed by what he saw.

"These boxes have all been opened." When Liu Zhimo saw the lock on the chest, he knew that it had been replaced.

It was probably because he had lost too much face, but when Old Li heard Liu Zhimo"s words, his face did not turn red nor did his heart jump.

Liu Zhimo laughed, "If he did not open the chests, how would Li Bao Zhu be able to get the hairpin and step shake?" Do you think he"s a fool? He had bought the lock himself, and he had even personally locked it. How could he possibly recognize that the key was on him?

Hearing that, Old Li"s face revealed an awkward expression, he had forgotten about this matter.

In her heart, she was also a little angry at Li Baoyu. She blamed him for being shallow, but when she saw these things, she took them with all her might.

Not only did he get caught, he was even caught red-handed.

This caused the Li family"s face to sweep the ground once again.

Liu Zhimo did not care what Old Li thought, he immediately got Old Li to open the lock of the box, he wanted to check the betrothal gift inside.

Old Li roared in embarra.s.sment, he was insulting him.

Liu Zhimo cast a sidelong glance at him and said indifferently: "You can"t blame me for this, it"s because your family has a criminal record, causing me to have no choice but to be cautious." He had a premonition that most of the things inside this box had probably been taken away. "Uncle, if you think I"m insulting you, then you have to open the box to prove your innocence."

Old Li took in a deep breath as his expression changed again and again. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise. He took out the key and unlocked it.

After opening the lock, he stood dejectedly by the side with his eyes lowered, no longer looking at anyone.

How much is inside? He was well aware that if he let Liu Zhimo and the others inspect him now, they would definitely be able to find out.

This time, it really was like stealing a chicken until it couldn"t eat rice!

Liu Zhimo reached out and opened the box in front of him, took a glance inside, and then said with a smile that was not a smile, "Today, I finally got to see what it means to steal one"s self."

With that, he went to open the other boxes, and looked through them one by one. He then straightened his body, and took out the betrothal gift slip that he had prepared beforehand, and handed it over to the village chief. "Cun Zhangyeye, may I trouble you to read through the betrothal gift list for me, I will compare them one by one."

The village chief sighed heavily, took the betrothal gift list from Liu Zhimo"s hands and read it out loud.

Just then, Mrs. Liu"s eyes turned, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly took two steps back, wanting to leave the room, to retrieve her things and hide in it.

However, just as she turned around and was about to leave, Li Qingling"s words came from behind her, "Grandmother, where are you planning to go? It"s better to stay here until we finish listening! " She had long since noticed Mrs. Liu, how could she possibly leave so easily?

Mrs. Liu"s entire person froze in place, the village chief"s voice that was reciting the betrothal gift had also stopped, and she was looking at her.

"The pigs at home haven"t been fed yet. I have to go feed them." Mrs. Liu thought of this idea with extreme speed as he tried to defend himself.

The corner of Li Qingling"s mouth curled up as he said coldly: "We"re only waiting for this fifteen minutes, pigs wouldn"t be so close to dying of hunger this fifteen minutes. Grandmother, you better finish listening before leaving.

When Mrs. Liu heard, she suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "Who has a guilty conscience? Who had a guilty conscience? Ah? You don"t lie to people. " Her voice was very loud, but her clenched fist was drenched in sweat.
