stingy landlady

Chapter 252 The Li Family Makes a Scene in Huanghua Village (5)

In her husband's family, there was an old lady and the old man who were in charge. After the family separated, she was managed by Dazhu at home and had to be constantly on guard against her two concubines trying to sow discord between her and others.

Now that she finally had a place where she could act with impunity and no one was restraining her, Li was truly reluctant to leave. However, with the woman in the carriage watching her, Li had no choice but to back down for now.

Li was sent back to Xiaoping Village, and Ruyi naturally came back with her. Without any intention of showing Li any mercy, Ruyi told Dazhu in front of Li what Li had done in Huanghua Village.

Even without embellishing the story, it still infuriated Dazhu.

"No wonder Guizhi has been unwilling to let you go to Huanghua Village! You are simply unreasonable! Only I, Wang Dazhu, can tolerate someone like you!"

If you were with another man, he wouldn't be satisfied until he beat you so badly you couldn't get out of bed! You're just lucky! You've given birth to several promising daughters, and you still come along and drag them down.

"A clueless old woman like you, running off to Huanghua Village acting like a big shot! You better stay home! Or I'll divorce you!"

Li remained silent; she had her own ideas. She turned and went back inside to lie down on the kang (heated brick bed). Although she had been quite cheerful today, she was exhausted. Ignoring everything else, she fell asleep as soon as she got on the kang.

Dazhu said many kind words to send Ruyi and Xile off, then looked back at the sleeping Li Shi and helplessly went to attend to his own business!

Early in the morning, after a good meal and some rest, Li wanted to take a stroll through Huanghua Village. Guixiang and Steward Han were already harvesting vegetables. Guixiang then sought out Li to speak privately:

"Mother! You went to Huanghua Village yesterday? That's Third Sister's territory! I heard you caused trouble there yesterday?"

Li asked curiously:

"Your third sister's territory? Isn't that our family's? Isn't it your father's? Did your father give it to her? How come I don't know about it?"

Gui Xiang wasn't quite sure of the specifics.

"Mother! I don't know what happened! I only know that everyone there listens to Third Sister! Mother! It doesn't seem to be from my father! Why don't you ask him?"

Li was secretly pleased and said to Guixiang:

"Why would I ask your father! Since it's your third sister's, your mother has the right to stay there. Besides, your third sister is still young; doesn't she need an adult with her? What if she gets scammed?"

Gui Xiang asked in surprise:

"Mother! Are you still going to Huanghua Village?"

Li raised her head high and said:

"Of course I'm going! Gui Xiang! You have no idea how awful those people are! You have no idea how much Gui Zhi has suffered! I'm going to stand up for Gui Zhi! Humph!"

I just want to go and see if Guizhi's territory will be indifferent to me, Guizhi's own mother!

"Mother! Their business is running normally, what are you going there for? What if you anger Guizhi and she never lets you go again?"

Li was unconvinced:

"She wouldn't dare! Her parents are still alive, and she hasn't separated herself from them. She shouldn't have any private property. At worst, we'll have your father take it all back, and we'll manage it ourselves!"

"mother!"

Helpless, Gui Xiang could only greet Steward Han, hoping that the villagers would be on guard!

Dazhu thought that Li would be quiet for a while after being sent back, but he didn't expect that only one day later, Li would go to Huanghua Village in Pan Qiang's car again.

This time, Li was sent directly to Wanrou's house. Under Lin Qian's guidance, Wanrou changed her attitude this time.

"Madam Wang! This is my own home. The children are just studying here! I don't have time to entertain you. You should go somewhere else!"

Wanrou immediately told them to leave.

Li opened her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Xu Hong is our family's bodyguard! How can you be so rude, woman?"

Wanrou said softly:

"Xu Hong is your family's guard, so go find him! This is my home."

Wanrou slammed the door shut and ignored Li Shi.

Li knocked on the gate a few times:

"Hey! Xu Hong's daughter! My Guiling is still studying there! How can you be so rude! What kind of good girl can a teacher like you raise!"

Wanrou patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She was also unsure of herself; if Li Shi threw another tantrum, she wouldn't be able to handle it. She still needed to find someone to help. Only after finally hearing Li Shi leave reluctantly did she turn and go inside.

Li went to see Aunt Lan, and while Aunt Lan did not turn Li away, she refused to take Li out no matter what.

Li tempted Aunt Lan, saying:

"How can you be so timid! I am the master, what's wrong with me taking a stroll here? I'll take you there. You are the master's concubine, which is equivalent to being half a master!"

What's there to be afraid of! They're the ones who should be afraid of you!

Aunt Lan shook her head:

“Madam! This servant would rather stay at home and not go out and cause a scene. Besides, everyone has their own things to do, and our presence will only cause unpleasantness and delay their work!”

Li threatened:

"Aunt Lan! If you don't listen to me, I'll have you sold when I get back! What use is a disobedient concubine to me!"

Besides, the master has long forgotten about you! Humph!

Who knew that Aunt Lan would get angry and say:

“Madam! I know you’ve always looked down on me! You’ve wanted to sell me for a long time now! Then please leave, Madam! My place is too small to accommodate someone as great as you.”

Li was driven away again, this time by people of lower status than herself, making her feel increasingly humiliated.

"What kind of world is this? One or two people think they can turn the world upside down? You eat my Guizhi's food, live in my Guizhi's house. And now you dare to let your mother leave?"

Who gave you the audacity? If anyone should get out, it's you! This is Guizhi's house, and I am Guizhi's mother. I said you can't stay here, and I mean you can't!

Get out! "

Aunt Lan couldn't argue with Madam Li, even though she knew the indenture wasn't in Madam Li's possession, she didn't dare. Madam Li was Guizhi's mother after all; if her mistress told her to get out, then she would get out!

Aunt Lan said in a humble voice:

"Madam! That servant will go out now!"

Seeing Aunt Lan walking out calmly, Madam Li asked:

"Where are you going? I said a few words to you and you're already leaving. Who's going to cook for me later?"

Aunt Lan said without turning her head:

"If Madam wants me to leave, why should I shamelessly stay? Madam, please do as you please."

After saying that, she walked faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she was out the door. Li sat there blankly for a while before realizing what use an empty room was to her. She got up and went to chase after Aunt Lan.

Upon reaching the gate, Aunt Lan was nowhere to be seen. Li closed the gate and strolled aimlessly along the road. As she walked, she came to the handicraft workshop, where the old woman guarding the door immediately became alert.

"Madam! We are not welcome here! Please, Madam, go and have a look around elsewhere!"

Li cried out:

"I am Guizhi's own mother! How can I be a nobody! Look, you all have gone too far since Guizhi isn't home! Even you, an old woman who guards the gate, look down on me!"

The old woman remained silent, but judging from her demeanor, she would never allow the Li family to enter the workshop.
