Not long after they arrived at the ancestral hall, Old Li arrived.As soon as he arrived, he immediately asked the village head why he was called to the ancestral hall.
For a moment, he did not think about the matter with Li Qingling. Seeing that the village chief had called him to the ancestral hall, he felt very suspicious.
If it wasn"t anything important, he wouldn"t come to the ancestral hall.
The village chief glanced at Li Qingling, then turned back to Old Li and said: "Do you still remember the last time you resolutely broke all ties with Xiao Ling?"
This time, he really wanted to help but he was unable to do so even if he wanted to.
The old man was startled, before he could react, Li Laifu, who was following behind him, took a step forward and said: "Fourth Uncle, are you sure you remembered wrongly? When did my father say that? Xiao Ling is my father"s own granddaughter, my own Nephew Daughter. How could we possibly break off all relations with her? "
He already knew that Liu Zhimo had become an Elementary Scholar, and was not stupid. How could he break off his relationship with Li Qingling at this time?
If the people from the Huang Family knew of his relationship with Liu Zhimo, they would definitely marry Huang Meiniang off to him without saying a word.
If Liu Zhimo became a Scholar, he would have a relative who worked as an official. It would be much more convenient for him to do anything.
The Village Chief was wronged by Li Laifu, he turned gloomy and stared at him, "Laifu, what is the meaning of this? Are you accusing me of lying? " Right now, he had completely seen through Old Lee and his family. He was simply an ingrate and was not worth his help.
After all that had happened, even if Old Li and the others wanted to ask him for help, he wouldn"t care less about them.
With just that one sentence, Li Laifu had completely offended the village chief.
"No, no, no, fourth uncle, that"s not what I meant. I just wanted to say that my father didn"t say those words. You might have remembered wrongly, but as for this person, sometimes remembering wrongly is normal, right?" Li Laifu waved his hand, and replied while beaming: "Father, it"s not like you ever said you wanted to break off all relations with the Nephew Daughter, right?"
He turned his head to look at Old Li, signalling him with his eyes so that he could follow his words.
Liu Zhimo had become an Elementary Scholar, and they were going to climb up this leg with all their might.
Old Li received Li Laifu"s signal, and nodded to the village chief: "Fourth brother, I really did not say these, you probably remember it wrongly?"
On the way there, he had heard that Liu Zhimo had become an Elementary Scholar, and at this moment, Li Laifu signalled to him. He immediately understood that he must not break off all ties with Li Qingling, and if he did, then his family would have no more benefits.
Since that was the case, he could only offend the Village Chief.
The Village Chief was so angry by Old Li and his son that his chest was moving up and down. He never thought that Old Li would be so shameless, so he bit him instead.
"Old Li, if you didn"t say anything about this, how could I let you sever your relationship with Xiao Ling and the rest on my own?" He wasn"t someone with malicious intentions. He would destroy someone"s family relationship, "If you don"t explain this to me in front of my ancestors today, I won"t forgive you."
Being wronged like this, he was truly infuriated.
Hearing that, Old Li clenched his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Fourth brother, I"m afraid that when you hear about someone trying to sow discord, you would …"
Before he could even finish his words, he was scolded by the village elder, "I"ll fart, the more you talk, the more you talk, the more you go too far. Today, I see through you, Old Li." He pointed at Old Li, his fingers trembling. "Do you dare to swear to the heavens? Did you say you wanted to break off all relations with Xiao Ling? "
Did he really think that he had wasted his time? Since you dared to bully him, don"t blame him.
In terms of swearing poison, Old Li definitely would not dare to do so, he did not want to die without descendants.
Old Li pursed his lips. For a moment, he couldn"t come up with a good plan. He looked at Li Laifu and let him deal with the situation.
Li Laifu smiled as he took a step forward, gently patted the village chief"s back, and said: "Fourth Uncle, do not be angry, this person, once he gets old, will easily get sick from anger."
He waved his hand and took a step back. With a cold expression, he said, "Don"t approach me. If you have the guts, then swear a venomous oath in front of so many people, and don"t try to cause a ruckus here."
If a tiger doesn"t show off, he"ll just treat it as a sick cat, right? He had been the Village Chief of Ox-Head Village for so many years, if he did not even have that little ability, how could he sit still?
"That"s right, why don"t you all make a vow to take a look!" "If you all do not dare to say anything, then it will prove that you all are guilty and wrongly accuse the Village Chief."
"That"s right, hurry up and make that oath. If you swear the oath, we will believe that what you just said is true."
"From the looks of their hesitant faces, they clearly just don"t dare to post anything."
As the villagers spoke, Old Li and his son became the targets of the punishment.
He raised his head and looked around, and in the end, his gaze stopped on Li Qingling. He looked at Li Qingling and spoke in a cold voice: "Xiao Ling, tell me for yourself, has Grandfather ever told you guys about breaking off their relationship?"
He did not dare to swear a venomous oath, and could only shift everyone"s gaze towards Li Qingling.
If Li Qingling said that he wanted to cut all ties with him, he had a way to turn the situation around.
Hearing that, Li Qingling looked up and a taunting smile formed on his lips. Old Li wanted to pull her into the water.
Old Li was smarter than Mrs. Liu, he would not be duped so easily.
When the village chief saw Old Li trying to pull Li Qingling into the water, he was even more infuriated.
No matter how Li Qingling said it, he would definitely offend one of them.
He absolutely could not allow Li Qingling to make things difficult for him like this, "Old Li, don"t change the topic for me. He looked at Old Li and raised three of his fingers, swearing to the heavens, "I swear to the heavens, if I had said a single false word just now, I would have been struck by lightning and die without descendants. I have already given my oath, Old Li, do you dare to take it? "
Actually, he had also learned Li Qingling"s technique from him. Last time, Li Qingling had also used this move to shock Mrs. Liu.
This time, he also deeply understood that he had to use these unyielding methods to deal with a few rascals.
Old Li was extremely furious in his heart. The village chief was going to cut off his retreat, if he did not swear, wouldn"t that indirectly prove that he was wrongly accusing the village chief?
But if he had to swear that he wouldn"t be able to do it, that would be a deadly oath! If he really wanted to take revenge on his son and grandson with this vow, then where would he go to cry?
"What is it? It"s just an oath, that"s all. Don"t tell me you don"t dare to take it? "
The Village Chief used his words to provoke Old Li, daring to touch his head. If he was not given a chance, he would not be surnamed Li.
When Old Li saw the crowd looking at him as if he was watching a joke, he was both embarra.s.sed and angry. However, he really did not know how to reply to the Village Chief, who forced him into a dead end, making him unable to retreat.
"What kind of person would casually swear a venomous oath?! How disrespectful would that be to Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva!?" Li Laifu frowned: "Fourth Uncle, you"re serious too. It"s just a small matter, why would you have to swear a poisonous oath? "My father is very taboo in this area. He would never swear a poisonous oath for a small matter."
When the Village Chief heard this, he felt very unhappy in his heart, "Humph... Can"t he just casually make a venomous oath and wrongly accuse people? " If someone were to beat him to death, he would be the same as Old Li.
This was truly a good thing. Someone like Old Li, a virtuous person, was actually able to have such a good grandson and granddaughter like Li Qingling and his three siblings.
Unfortunately, he wouldn"t cherish it!
"What have I wronged you for? If you didn"t have any intentions, why would you have brought my granddaughter to the ancestral hall? " Old Li let out a heavy snort, "I think you just want my granddaughter to become your granddaughter right?"
Seeing that Liu Zhimo had become an Elementary Scholar, they all tried to get along with him.
Humph... How shameless.
That was his own granddaughter, his own grandson and son-in-law. How could he let others covet him?
"You …" The village chief was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Li Qingling was afraid that he might get a stroke, that would truly be her fault.
She reached out to pat the Village Chief"s back, telling him not to be angry because she knew he wasn"t that kind of person.
The moment Old Li heard these words, he let out a heavy and cold snort, "Xiao Ling, just who is your grandfather?" He was very angry at Li Qingling"s actions of walking out of the grave.
He was her real grandfather, okay? How could she be without him?
She really had no idea what was going on.
Seeing that the village chief"s expression had eased up, Li Qingling finally looked up at Old Li. Seeing Old Li"s face which was filled with anger, she laughed out loud, "Whoever is good to me, is my grandfather." A grandpa like Old Li would not even be willing to give her anything.
She had held high hopes for Old Li previously, but unfortunately he had disappointed her.
She was disappointed again and again, so she couldn"t have any expectations for him anymore.
Hearing that, Old Li pointed at Li Qingling and scolded, "You unfilial descendant, is there anyone who can speak like that? Without me, how could you be here? You have my blood on you. " He was truly angered to death by Li Qingling.
He suspected that she was deliberately trying to annoy him.
"No …." Li Qingling"s expression suddenly became cold. She looked at Old Li with cold eyes, and said word by word: "After my father died, you drove out the three of us from our home, the three of us couldn"t take it anymore, I went to beg for some brown rice from you guys, but was pushed to the head by your precious grandson Li Qingfu. After almost dying, my life had already been repaid to you.
He would not know that his poor little granddaughter had been killed by them long ago.
