Chapter 213:
“Hah! Now you know to be afraid! Now you know you’re awake?”
Luo Zhi’er narrowed her eyes coldly.
“Third, Third Sister-in-law, what happened?”
Li Gui uncomfortably rubbed the spot where Luo Zhi’er had kicked him just now…
“What I mean is, who did you give that ten taels of silver to?”
The fat woman in front of him pressed, gesturing with the knife in her hand. “Don’t you understand?”
Li Gui felt complicated and angry. “It was just spent on the school as usual!”
“Hmph! More like fooling ghosts. Do you think we believe it? No one in our family would believe it!”
Li Gui looked around. Xiao Zhou Shi and her husband, Chen Shi was glaring at him hatefully, even his mother was staring at him sharply right now.
“Yeah, Gui’er, come clean. Since that brothel didn’t take ten taels of silver, where exactly did you spend it?”
Zhou Shi relentlessly pressed.
“This… this, it was spent at the brothel. Dad misunderstood me. Mom, how come you don’t believe me either?”
Li Gui stuck to his story!
Spent at the brothel—at least they would be too scared to demand it back, and this matter would be over!
Light faded from Zhou Shi’s eyes.
“Mom, in this family, you’re the only one who cares about me, Li Gui. Although I’ve been expelled from the academy right now, I will definitely make something of myself later and properly show you filial piety!”
“Enough, Gui’er already said it was spent at the brothel on that cheap woman. Don’t wave that knife in front of Gui’er anymore!”
Yes, Gui’er was still young. Although the studying matter had fallen through, he was so clever that he would surely have a chance to rise above others. Zhou Shi changed her mind after Fifth Brother coaxed her!
Disappointed as she was, she was of course even more afraid that Luo Zhi’er would really hurt her precious son.
“Li Gui, do you think I’m joking with you?”
“Will you talk or not?”
Luo Zhi’er shouted loudly.
“Mom, save me!” Li Gui looked to Zhou Shi for help!
“Luo Zhi’er, stop! Murder! Third Sister-in-law is committing murder!”
Zhou Shi quickly brought out her ultimate skill and yelled.
“Mom, are you sure you want to help him?”
Of course!
What a joke! If not help Gui’er, then help her?
Luo Zhi’er looked at Zhou Shi’s arrogant, nostrils-upturned appearance,
“Good! Bill!”
She turned her head and shouted loudly toward the wooden house. Bill leaped out with a roar and pinned Zhou Shi to the ground with one palm!
Zhou Shi shut her mouth amid a shriek, terror in her eyes, her head spinning and vision blurring from the fall.
She saw the beast stick out a big tongue and lick near her ear. “Ah, no, no!”
She felt her ear cool and slimy. She could smell the raw meat breath from Bill’s mouth…
Zhou Shi instantly felt a large wet patch in her pants…
“Alright, Li Gui, now you talk!”
Luo Zhi’er lowered her gaze faintly toward the person lying on the ground.
Seeing his mother’s plight, Li Gui looked at her with a horrified expression!
“You, who exactly are you?”
Luo Zhi’er smiled and blinked her innocent big eyes,
“Fifth Uncle, I mean you, how did one trip to prison ruin your brain? I’m your Third Sister-in-law!”
Chubby Luo Zhi’er still had that dazed look, but her eyes now held a different sharpness and competence.
“Enough, I won’t waste time. Should I cut your little finger first? Or index finger? Or chop them all off together!”
“You, you dare? Watch out or I’ll go to the county office and sue you!”
Li Gui yelled loudly!
“Hmph! If I dare do it, am I afraid of you suing me? To tell you the truth, I know Wang Jiji. You studied at Donglin Academy, so you should know him too!”
“What?”
Li Gui was still in shock!
“Fine! Then let’s start with the thumb!”
After muttering to herself, she lifted her foot, stepped on his hand and ground it. Li Gui felt his hand pressed down by a powerful strength, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Then she pressed the thumb with her toe and swung the knife down!
“No, I’ll talk!”
Luo Zhi’er paused and looked at him puzzled… “What?”
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
“Ah! It’s hush money! Nutrition… fee!”
“What hush money?”
“She, she has a belly now. I couldn’t let her tell mom and dad, couldn’t let, let her go to the academy and blab…”
“But the woman who was with you when we went to catch you last night?”
Li Gui nodded.
Luo Zhi’er’s heart relaxed. Good, it wasn’t some other mess, but still not a small matter!
“How long?”
“Over two months already!”
Everyone was shocked. Even Zhou Shi’s mouth hung open!
“Li Gui, you fool! What else have you done?” Zhou Shi cried out.
Li Daqiang looked at his trembling-with-anger wife beside him and wanted to tear him apart!
Truly, one wave not settled, another rises. Now another child out of nowhere?
“Fifth Brother, is what you said true?”
Li Daqiang rushed over, clenched his fist, and questioned him.
He had thought Third Sister-in-law went too far just now, but now it seemed that without breaking the boat and sinking it, Li Gui wouldn’t know how long he’d keep hiding it from them?
Even his mother was kept in the dark and helped him deceive everyone!
Thinking of his own hard work all these years going down the drain, he wanted to punch him hard!
“How do you know it’s yours? How do you know she didn’t trick you?”
“She told me the date, I calculated, it was exactly that time!”
Luo Zhi’er lowered her head in contemplation. Whether it was really his seed was hard to say. That woman definitely meant to squeeze him for money.
In that kind of place, they would definitely drink medicine before sleeping together to avoid trouble. Even if accidentally pregnant, it would be handled privately. How dare she come out and cause trouble for a customer?
Wasn’t she afraid no one would go next time?
Either she saw he was a Donglin Academy student, knew his weakness of caring about reputation, no background, afraid of parents and academy, so used that to blackmail him for silver!
Li Sanmao had returned after seeing off Fan Fuzi and was watching the scene from not far in the yard. Hearing Li Gui’s words, he felt a dull ache in his chest from anger!
“Fine, Li Gui, these days can’t go on. We’re dividing the family!”
“Divide the family!”
Xiao Zhou Shi shouted out!
“You don’t act like people, but Muqing and Yunliang will have to live as people in the future. One after another causing such scandals, how can they show their faces in the village?”
These words about dividing the family called Old Li Tou out of the house yelling again!
He didn’t know why, but lately he always felt tired easily. Probably because his vitality was badly damaged in the prison cell!
Just now, because of Li Gui’s expulsion from school, he was so angry that after going back to lie on the bed, he even shed a few tears!
Unknowingly he fell asleep, the kind of mood that had plummeted to rock bottom. Suddenly in the dream someone was shouting to divide the family…
Truly, one phrase awakened the dreamer!
“Who is making noise about dividing the family? Do you even put me, the head of the household, in your eyes?”
Old Li Tou’s face was ashen, his eyes unfathomable as he looked at Xiao Zhou Shi.
“Daqiang, control your wife. Did I say to divide the family? Gui’er just got expelled from school and you can’t wait? Tell me, have you all been waiting for this family division all along?”
Li Gui saw his dad come out, the spots on his body whipped by the leather whip hurt even more, and he hung his head!
He slanted a vicious glance at Luo Zhi’er. She sneered coldly, scaring him into a shiver!
She felt a sigh of relief in her heart. This family division matter was finally brought up first by Eldest Son’s Family!
