Li Jun had let Wenxiu witness his hidden evil. He didn’t say a lot, however he was positively not somebody who could possibly be simply bullied. Maybe earlier than this, he nonetheless had a certain quantity of gratitude in the direction of everybody within the Li household, however what his mom did this morning utterly severed all of his affection for the Li household.
Li Jun had left with Wen Xiu, however Liu Da He was nonetheless awkwardly standing within the Li household’s courtyard. He might neither go away nor keep. Midday had arrived, and the lads from the Lee household had been making a ruckus for the entire morning. The kitchen was nonetheless chilly, and the meal was gone. Nevertheless, if he needed to go away, he must look forward to the silver Wen Xiu had helped him to get.
When Li Fu and Li Lu noticed that Liu Da He had not left, the 2 brothers have been surprised for a second. After one another, Li Fu checked out Liu Da He and requested, “Li Zheng, is there the rest?”
Liu Da He regarded a bit embarrassed, ought to he say this or not?

It might be greatest if he couldn’t converse of it for the remainder of his life, after which he wouldn’t have the ability to return the 2 taels of silver.
Girl Wang was pondering fairly fortunately, however Madame Zhou was a giant mouth. Seeing that nobody responded to Li Fu, she replied with out pondering, “Li Zheng gave mom two taels of silver when he requested Father to carry down the fingerprint. Now that Mom is not associated to Wen Xiu, this cash should be returned to Li Fu.”
What?
Listening to this, Li Fu could not assist however frown. When did this occur? Why did not he know?
Liu Da He delivered the contract that day and Li Fu was at dwelling. He noticed along with his personal eyes the handprint his father pressed, however he didn’t see his mom receiving the right amount of silver. When did he give cash to his mom?
Li Fu adopted Previous Man Li and Previous Girl Li from begin to end. He did not see it, and neither did Girl Wang, who was all the time following by his aspect. The couple did not know when Previous Girl Li had obtained the silver, however the place have been the 2 taels of silver?
Though née Wang already knew concerning the two taels of silver, she was nonetheless confused. Now that Madame Zhou had talked about it, her coronary heart was stifling. Nevertheless, in comparison with when the 2 taels of silver got to the outdated lady, she wished to kill the Zhou household’s massive mouth.
Liu Da He smiled embarrassedly and nodded, indicating that he was certainly ready for the Li household to return his two taels of silver.
LiFu’s face was gloomy. He checked out Girl Wang and noticed that Girl Wang was additionally shaking her head at him. His face was additionally at a loss. He then retracted his gaze and checked out Liu Da He. Liu Da He was righteous and positively had no motive to coax them with silver, so even when they didn’t know what occurred, they nonetheless admitted that these two silver taels existed, “Li Zheng, my mom is sick proper now, are you able to please return first? When my mom wakes up, I will ask her to provide me the silver taels. “Sorry for neglecting you …”
When Liu Da He heard Li Fu say this, he instantly discovered his strategy to the foot of the steps. He didn’t anticipate to have the ability to take again the cash. Furthermore, he had his personal egocentric motives and didn’t wish to take the silver again.
“Alright, then take excellent care of your mom. I will return first!”
“Hey, take care!”
LiFu stated as he respectfully despatched Liu Da He out the door.
After Liu Da He left, solely Li Fu and his spouse and Li Lu have been left within the courtyard. There have been no outsiders round them both. Now, they may say no matter they wished to say!
Li Fu not had his typical reserved and sincere look. He glanced on the different three with a chilly gaze, and requested with a critical and chilly voice, “Mom, what occurred after you obtained the 2 taels of silver?”
Madame Wang and Madame Zhou did not know this, however their sister-in-law and sister-in-law each shook their heads. Li Fu’s look was really terrifying. Regardless that they have been often fierce, they have been nonetheless ladies. When the 2 of them noticed Li Fu’s anger, their hearts have been crammed with concern.
Li Lu had recognized about this matter from the start till the top, and solely he and Previous Madam Li knew about it. Furthermore, the perpetrator was him, so he had been silent the complete time.
“Second Brother, do you know this was going to occur?”
“I …” Li Lu regarded a bit scared. Though he did not admit it, the expression on his face had already betrayed him.
Li Fu suppressed his anger and requested, phrase for phrase, “When did this occur?” Does anybody else consider him because the eldest son of this household?
Li Lu was a coward to start with. When he noticed his massive brother indignant, he was immediately scared to demise. He instantly admitted to it after which advised the entire story. Nevertheless, the second he completed talking, three voices concurrently shouted sternly, “What? You spent the silver? “
Li Fu’s face darkened. He raised his fist and punched Li Lu’s cheek. Li Lu’s decrease physique grew to become unstable and he fell to the bottom immediately. As for the Wang Household, their faces have been darkish and hideous. Two taels of silver, this bastard!
When Madame Zhou noticed Li Lu getting crushed up, she didn’t really feel the slightest little bit of heartache. As an alternative, she rushed over and pinched Li Lu a number of occasions earlier than howling, “The place’s the silver? Two taels of silver was gone identical to that? Did you go to the lady? Say, is not it? “No, I’ve to get the silver again. I’ve to get it again …”
“Proper, take it again, we’ve got to take it again!”
Girl Wang had gone loopy with Madame Zhou. Solely the heavens knew how laborious it had been for her to coax the outdated lady for her brother’s sake. Nevertheless, two taels of silver have been truly given to the widow by that bastard Li Lu.
Madame Zhou’s complete being went loopy; her eyes have been utterly crimson from anger. Girl Wang adopted intently behind, whereas her sister-in-law and sister-in-law rushed into Widow Zhao’s home.
After being punched, Li Lu was fiercely pinched by his spouse a number of occasions. He was crying out in ache. He actually could not perceive what sort of unhealthy luck he was going by means of. The variety of beatings he had suffered previously three months was truly greater than the 20 plus years he had lived earlier than.
LiFu was fuming inside. He was within the lengthy room, and sooner or later, he can be sending off his dad and mom’ outdated age, carrying a banner and carrying a basin. He needs to be the one to separate most of his dad and mom’ wealth. However, his mom had truly secretly given two taels of silver to Li Lu. Did his mom nonetheless have a son like him in her eyes?
When he thought of how, a number of days in the past, Li Lu and his spouse robbed him in broad daylight, ruining the fame of the Li household, and in addition affected the wedding of his daughter, what was the outcome? How did his mom do it? With a single sentence, Li Lu’s guilt was simply handled. There was no punishment, and he or she even defiled her personal daughter, a widower. How might her coronary heart be so biased in the direction of the Second Department?
May it’s as a result of he did not have a son?
The extra Li Fu thought of it, the angrier he bought, so he could not care much less. Seeing Li Lu made him even angrier, and he beat Li Lu up with a red-eyed look.
In the long run, solely when Previous Man Li noticed Previous Girl Li had woken up did he exit and ask Li Fu to cease. In any other case, Li Lu reckoned that the ache wouldn’t final for some time.
Previous Mrs. Li had awoken and after studying that Li Lu had been crushed up by Li Fu, she cried sorrowfully. In the long run, she threw 4 taels of silver at LiFu in frustration. Half of it was returned to Liu Da He whereas the opposite half was given to Girl Wang to convey again to her dad and mom’ dwelling.
