Chapter 236 - 236 People Change

236 People Change

Zhang Hong looked at He Hui and hesitated.

“Hey, look, there’s a carriage over there. It looks like a rich family!” Zhao Xiu suddenly looked in the other direction and said in surprise.

When Zhang Hong heard this, she immediately turned around to take a look.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xiu passed Zhang Hong and pulled He Hui away.

“Where is the carriage? There’s clearly no carriage!” Zhang Hong looked around quizzically and turned around.

However, Zhao Xiu and He Hui had already run far away.

Even if Zhang Hong wanted to chase after them, she couldn’t. She stomped her feet in anger.

“Zhao Xiu, what are you so proud of? You were just lucky enough to be married off to your son-in-law’s family! Without your son-in-law, Luo Cheng, who do you think you are?” Zhang Hong cursed loudly.

When He Hui heard this, she frowned and couldn’t stand it anymore.

Just as He Hui was about to speak up for Zhao Xiu, she was stopped by Zhao Xiu.

“If a dog bites you, will you bite the dog back? Let’s hurry up and slip away! I know the Li family better than you. If she gets the chance to pester us now, we really won’t be able to escape! In the future, when you encounter the Li family, you have to be like me. If you can slip away, you have to create an opportunity to slip away. You can’t let them have the chance to pester you!” Zhao Xiu spoke from her experience.

When He Hui heard this, she immediately trembled.

“Are they that scary?”

“That’s right! Listen to my advice. If you can, stay away from them for the rest of your life! That’s a smelly latrine pit. Anyone who touches it will leave with a stench!” Zhao Xiu said.

He Hui remembered Zhao Xiu’s words and went back to remind her man and child.

It was also because of Zhao Xiu’s words today that He Hui and her family avoided a huge problem in the future.

Li Wei and Zhang Hong both returned in defeat. When the couple reached the door, they bumped into each other.

“Husband, how are things on your side?”

Li Wei shook his head and said dejectedly, “Before I could say anything, my third brother scolded me!”

“Same here. Third Sister-in-law is as slippery as a loach. I couldn’t even stop her!” Zhang Hong said gloomily.

“It’s fine. Let’s go back and think about it. There will be a way!” Li Wei could only say this in the end.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, Aunt Li was already waiting in the courtyard.

“You went to look for your third brother? Where is he?”

Li Wei frowned when he heard his mother’s words.

“Mother, what are you talking about? We just went out for a walk! It’s the first day of the new year. If we didn’t go out for a walk, wouldn’t we be cooped up at home?”

When Aunt Li heard Li Wei’s words, she immediately frowned.

“Don’t say such things to me. Let me ask you, did you see your third brother?”

“I did! It’s just that when Third Brother saw me, he warned me to stay away from him. Otherwise, his son-in-law might beat me up! Mother, do you really think Third Brother is still the same Third Brother who was at your mercy in the past? You and Father were wrong. Eldest Brother was wrong too. Even I was wrong! Third Brother is completely different from before! I’m afraid the things you’ve planned will go down the drain!”

With that, Li Wei pulled his wife, Zhang Hong, back to his room.

When Aunt Li heard her son’s words, she was very angry.

“Impossible. He’s is my son. I’m his biological mother. How can he still be holding a grudge? Hmph, he doesn’t even know to bring some good things to show filial piety to me and his father during the new year. He’s simply too rebellious!”

Aunt Li cursed, but she was plotting something inside.

On Li Shun and Zhao Xiu’s side, they didn’t mention anything about what happened in the village today.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran had long learned from the secret guard how the two of them handled it.

Seeing that her father was smiling at her mother, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but sigh. “I really didn’t expect Father and Mother to become so tough! What I didn’t expect was that the two of them would deal with it the same way. They didn’t let the Li family say what they wanted at all. Also, Father, I never expected my father to threaten them by saying that you would beat them up!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s sigh, he smirked slightly.

“People change, especially people like our parents, who have been suppressed for a long time. Once their resistance is awakened, they will become very different! Besides, have you thought that our days running the noodle stall have been in vain? There were so many people coming and going every day. There were all kinds of people. Businessmen naturally can’t choose their customers, so they can only change themselves.”

“Your father and mother are naturally different after being trained in that kind of environment! Isn’t there a saying that even three days is enough to change a person? They’ve also begun to transform during this period of time! It’s just that we’ve been with Father and Mother all this time, so we didn’t see the change in them. But others can tell at a glance!”

Li Xiaoran felt that this change wasn’t bad. At least, they wouldn’t be bullied anymore.

Of course, Li Xiaoran understood why the old couple wanted to hide these things.

After all, it was the new year. It was better to let everyone be happy.

Soon, it was the second day of the new year.

On the second day of the new year, a married daughter would return to her maiden family.

Previously, Zhao Xiu had wanted to go back to her parents’ house to take a look, so Li Xiaoran was already prepared.

Originally, Luo Ziyang could have gone with them, but Third Master Li was in the house, so Luo Ziyang could only regretfully stay at home with Big Yellow and the others to look after the house.

Apart from that, there were still chickens to feed at home, so they needed someone to stay at home.

The bags were placed on the ox cart. The group dressed in warm clothes, then brought a few blankets to cover themselves.

The group set off just after dawn.

There was no choice. This place was a distance away from Zhao Xiu’s family’s house. The earlier they set off, the earlier they could arrive.

By the time Li Lan and Li Yan rushed back to the Li family’s house, Li Xiaoran and the others were already on the way to Eagle Village, in Jiangzhong County.

Li Yan barely slept last night. After all, she was too excited.

She wanted to hear the villagers discussing Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran as soon as she returned to the village so that she could know how miserable they were.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached home, she was caught by her mother.

“Yan’er, why did you only bring these things when you returned to our family? Why didn’t you bring some money back?” Wang Ying complained as she touched her daughter’s clothes.

...

“Mother, why have you become so gauche? How can a daughter bring money back whenever she returns to her family? Your actions really embarrass me!” Li Yan said with disdain.
