Chapter 230 Why did you pick a restaurant now?
"What? You killed your grandson? Qiulan, have you lost your mind? How could you do such a thing? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, that was your own grandson."
After hearing Zhou Hai's words, Uncle Li looked at his younger sister in astonishment. In the past, she had mistreated Third Sister, but she had never intended to kill her.
How come, after being separated by a generation, they've come to someone else's house and become even more outrageous?
Li's eldest aunt murmured "Amitabha," patted her chest, and said, "Qiu Lan, it's one thing if you didn't like Third Sister before, but Gu Yunji is a member of the Gu family, how could you..."
Li's eldest aunt shook her head, thinking to herself that this little sister-in-law had been spoiled at home since she was a child, and she thought that others would spoil her in the same way.
Now look what happened!
The Gu family isn't as easy to deal with as they used to be; they've finally met their match.
That explains why we suddenly had to sever ties – this is the child that Third Sister carried for ten months and gave birth to!
She just threw it down like that, who gave her the guts?
How could Third Sister not hate this?
Oh my, it's so rare to see such a wealthy relative, and what kind of things has her sister-in-law done?
The eldest aunt of the Li family was heartbroken. This was her cousin, who was the most capable and most likely to help Xun'er in his career!
The rest of the Li family also felt uneasy upon hearing this.
“Qiu Lan, even if you don’t like Third Sister, throwing the child is really going too far.”
“That’s right, but we’re family. There’s no such thing as holding a grudge overnight. You should talk to Third Aunt nicely, admit your mistakes, and apologize. We can’t sever ties.”
"Yes, Qiulan, while things are still going well, hurry up and apologize to Third Sister! After all, she was born after you carried her for ten months. If you swallow your pride and say nice things to her, how could she not accept it?"
Li Qiulan frowned. She had no idea things would turn out this way. These people were really something. Seeing that the Gu family had become successful, they were openly and secretly helping them, thinking she couldn't see through it.
Don't they realize that even if they keep kissing, she's still Li Qiulan's daughter. What does she have to do with them?
But Zhou Hai was really disrespectful to them, and he even exaggerated the matter, trying to embarrass them in public!
Li Qiulan was seething with hatred, but she knew in her heart that anything she said at this moment would easily go wrong, so she simply raised her sleeve and cried.
Li Da couldn't stand it any longer. "You're talking nonsense! Why don't you mention that Gu family's third daughter-in-law lied to our Li San Niang about giving birth to a worthless child? We want to visit her, but they want us to bathe and change clothes first. This is clearly looking down on us and setting rules for us."
“We are Li San Niang’s family, not servants of the Gu family. This whole thing was caused by the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Lin Chang’er.”
On the way down the mountain, his mother specifically instructed him not to be too forceful and to insist on blaming Lin Chang'er for the incident.
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in another uproar.
"Ah, this is indeed a bit too much. For one's own mother and brother to have to take a bath and change clothes before meeting a girl is too much of a rule."
"Yes, yes! It's not like we're receiving an imperial edict. The Gu family's behavior is really unethical."
"Isn't Third Sister going to do anything about it? Just watching her family members get bullied like this?"
"Otherwise, Qiulan and Li Daneng will take action against her?"
The people from Lijia Village chatted amongst themselves, and soon they all seemed to understand.
Seeing this, Li's mother cried even more aggrievedly.
The villagers of Linshui Village couldn't stand it, especially the Huo family boys who stayed on the mountain to help.
They immediately elected Xiao Shijiu as their representative.
Xiao Shijiu said, "What's wrong with taking a bath and changing clothes? It's not like we threw them into the river or the pond. Sister Lin and the others heated hot water for them to wash."
"Have you all taken a proper shower and changed your clothes while hiding outside for so many days to avoid the disaster?"
"Look at the mud spots on your trousers and your wrinkled clothes, they're almost rotten, aren't they? If you had the chance, wouldn't you like to take a hot shower and change into clean clothes?"
The people of Lijia Village then realized that Li Qiulan, Li Da, and Li Er had indeed changed their clothes and were smelling of soap.
So it seems that the Gu family didn't mistreat Li Qiulan and her son.
Soap is so expensive! We used it all.
They can't afford it; they can only envy it.
The people of Lijia Village nodded again, each with their own meaningful expression.
Seeing that things were not going well, Li's mother cried even louder, "They say a son doesn't mind his mother's ugliness. Now that you've become successful, you look down on your parents? Why can't we take a bath at any time? Why do we have to take a bath before we can see each other?"
"If we were to follow the rules set by wealthy families, we should always prepare extra clothes for guests to change into. How could we let guests wear our own family's tattered clothes..."
Upon hearing this, Li Dayi immediately chimed in, "Yes, everyone, look at me, my clothes have been patched up several times. Isn't this just making fun of us?"
“We are Li San Niang’s family, not beggars coming to her door.”
The people of Lijia Village looked at the Li family mother and son again and found that Li Da's clothes were indeed patched, but they were clean.
The clothes worn by Li Qiulan and Li Er were at least 80% new.
Although it's not brand new, it's not bad either.
Xiao Shijiu laughed and said, "Have you two developed some kind of forgetfulness? We explained this clearly on the mountain. We let you take a bath because Gu Ersao had just given birth, and Yudian wasn't even a month old yet. We were afraid of transferring the dirt we were carrying onto them. You don't care about them, but we do!"
"As for clothes, everyone was busy escaping the flood that day, so who would carry a bundle of clothes?"
"Besides, the clothes Uncle Li gave you to change into were about 80% new. You were the one who complained that they weren't brand new and threw them into the mud. Uncle Li only has these clean clothes left that you're wearing. You brought this on yourself, so who can you blame?"
The other guys chimed in, "Yeah, it's good enough that we didn't leave you naked."
Then he burst out laughing.
Lin Chang'er was prepared. She placed Gu Dalang's clothes, which Li Da had thrown into the mud pit, on a tray and had Niu Xiaomei carry it out for everyone to see. "This is the clothes that Li Da was not satisfied with and threw out."
Fearing she couldn't see clearly, she carefully unfolded it again for everyone to see.
Immediately, a villager from Lijia Village exclaimed, "These clothes look newer than the ones Li Er is wearing!"
The other villagers nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Thinking to myself, the Li family mother and son are really hard to describe. The baby is delicate, it's just a bath, it's not a big deal, why are they so arrogant?
And this Li Da is really outrageous. He's supposed to be eating at a restaurant, why did he have to pick one?
To bring this up again, frankly, there's really nothing to say about it.
Uncle Li's face darkened. "Qiu Lan, what's wrong with you? Your in-laws are thinking things through, all for the good of Third Sister and her son. It's one thing if you don't cooperate, but you're making things difficult for Third Sister. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Aunt Li shook her head, feeling that it was really difficult for her family to find their son. They had finally found a cousin they could rely on, but now she was about to fly away again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Lin Chang'er spoke up again: "This is just one of the things. My second sister-in-law insists on severing ties with her husband, largely because she was almost tortured to death by Li Qiulan and Li Da and his mother when she was in the Li family in her early years."
"Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was unable to speak again because of it."
"Now they've extended their reach to my Gu family, not even sparing the babies. This is something that not only my second sister-in-law, but our entire Gu family absolutely cannot tolerate!"
