In order to get rid of Li Qin as soon as possible, Li Zhan took out eight copper coins from his pocket.

Just as he was about to count them, Li Qin grabbed the eight copper coins and ran away.

Seeing this, Li Zhan quickly slipped away as well.

When Li Xiaoran saw this, she didn’t speak. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Xiaoran, what are you thinking about?” Luo Cheng asked when he saw that Li Xiaoran didn’t speak.

Disturbed by Luo Cheng’s voice, Li Xiaoran snapped back to reality.

“Nothing? I just find it strange. Li Qin, who was quite spoiled in the past, seems to have changed!”

“Of course it’s different! After all, there are no more people like Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, who worked tirelessly to support them. Now, the Li family’s life is getting worse and worse. Actually, I don’t understand either. There are clearly a few capable men in the family, but they’re getting more and more lazy now. In the past, they would find some work to do, but now, they don’t want to do anything!” When Luo Cheng thought of the Li family’s current situation, he was puzzled.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately frowned.

To be honest, in the past, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t have interfered in the Li family’s matters at all.

But ever since Luo Cheng recovered his identity as the Seventh Prince, she had begun to notice these things.

Previously, she was busy and didn’t have the time to think about the Li family. Now that she had encountered it, she remembered.

Li Xiaoran said her thoughts, “Husband, we can’t ignore the Li family. Otherwise, they will bring us a lot of trouble in the future. This family is too lazy, so I think it’s time to make them work harder!”

Luo Cheng immediately laughed when he heard this.

“It seems that you and I have the same idea! What’s the greatest punishment for a person? It’s to let him do things he doesn’t want to do! The Li family is so poor that they’re just waiting for death, so why don’t we be more magnanimous and supervise these people so that they can’t slack off?! I believe that such punishment will definitely make the Li family miserable!”

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and asked, “Husband, do you have any good ideas?”

Luo Cheng voiced his thoughts, “That’s simple. I’ll arrange for your eldest uncle and second uncle to work in a place. The monthly salary is quite good. However, don’t worry, I’ll only give them half of the salary. The remaining half will be handed over to your grandparents. As for your eldest aunt and second aunt, they’ll do laundry, cook, raise chickens and ducks. They’ll also plant crops in the fields!”

Li Xiaoran asked in disbelief, “Will my eldest uncle and second uncle be willing to do it?”

Luo Cheng said with a smile, “If I interfere, they’ll naturally have no choice but to do it! I’ll arrange for someone to supervise them. If they don’t perform well, they’ll starve. I’ll find professionals to deal with your eldest aunt and second aunt! Don’t forget that those grannies in the royal family are very good at disciplining people. It just so happens that I know a granny who’s going to leave the palace to retire! I’ll bring her over to retire here!”

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “In that case, why don’t we hire a teacher?! On the one hand, we can build a school in the village to repay the village. It’ll make it easier for the children in the village to learn to read and write. On the other hand, we can also discipline the children of the Li family and prevent them from going astray!”

Luo Cheng asked, “What about your eldest cousin, Li Zhan?”

Li Xiaoran said coldly, “Doesn’t he like to gamble? Let him lose everything! Then, let him do the most tiring and dirty work in the casino! A person who likes to gamble so much should stay in the casino for the rest of his life!”

She wasn’t a saint who still cared about the Li family after the Li family abused her family.

What she wanted was to not drag Luo Cheng down.

After all, the Li family was still her maiden family.

If she really abandoned the Li family, it would be used as an excuse for people to condemn Luo Cheng in the future.

Since she had already thought of this, she might as well plug this hole right from the beginning.

Yes, in Li Xiaoran’s eyes, the Li family was a hole. Now, she had to fill this hole.

Luo Cheng said, “Alright, let’s do as we discussed just now! When the time comes, I’ll talk to the village chief and see where the school is built. It just so happens that I know a scholar who hasn’t become an official all these years. Now that he’s old, it’s not a bad idea for him to come back and teach!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and asked Zi Zheng to drive the carriage back to the house in town.

On Li Qin’s side, after receiving a few copper coins, she went to the wonton stall she wanted to go to the most and ordered a bowl of wontons to eat.

After eating a bowl of wontons, Li Qin finally felt energized.

At home, she was so hungry that she couldn’t take it anymore.

Today, she had originally run out to sell herself as a maid.

She had no other choice. She was too hungry!

If she continued to stay at home, only death awaited her.

Li Qin couldn’t count on her parents, so she could only think of this method.

At least as a maid, she could eat her fill.

However, after meeting her brother Li Zhan just now, Li Qin dispelled this thought.

What was so good about being a maid? She would have to be scolded all day long and had to do many things.

She might as well look for her sister, Li Yan!

She heard that her brother-in-law had scored third place. Now, her sister had already become an official’s wife.

Her brother-in-law was so impressive, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take care of his sister-in-law!

When her sister and brother-in-law went to the capital to become officials, she could also follow them and enjoy life. At that time, she could even choose a marriage partner in the capital.

This path was much better than being someone’s maid!

Thinking of this, Li Qin paid for the wontons and walked towards the place her sister had mentioned previously.

Li Yan didn’t expect her biological sister, Li Qin, to come looking for her again.

Looking at her sister’s dirty clothes, Li Yan frowned again.

Li Qin sensed that her sister didn’t welcome her, so she quickly said, “Sister, I know you’ve been very busy recently. I told Father and Mother to come over and help you!”

When Li Yan heard that Li Qin wanted to help her, she nodded.

“Yes, I have a lot of things to do now.. Sister, you can help me! Come in first! I’ll boil water for you to take a shower, then change your clothes!”
