In Mrs. Liu's heart, she thought that no matter what, she wouldn't stay behind for the hairpin and step shake that she hid away, she insisted that she was going to feed them to the pigs.
Li Qingling stared at her for a long while before curling his lips and letting Li Qingfeng feed the pigs.
Hearing that, Mrs. Liu became excited, she angrily spoke: "Li Qingling, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to say that I stole something from you? "Huh?"
Although she did take Li Qingling's things, she would definitely not admit it.
Li Qingling laughed, telling her not to get too excited, she only wanted Li Qingfeng to see how she fed the pigs, that's all.
Who would believe what she said? Mrs. Liu was extremely furious.
However, if she did not feed the pigs now, it would seem that she was feeling guilty.
She grinded her teeth as she glared at Li Qingling a few times. Then she snorted coldly and turned to walk out of the room.
Li Qingfeng nodded to Li Qingling and quickly followed.
Li Qingling raised his eyebrows, looked at the village head and said, "Cun Zhangyeye, you can continue."
The village chief sighed helplessly. Today, he sighed more than he could ever sigh in his life. He was thoroughly disappointed by Old Li's family.
He looked at the list of bridal gifts and continued to read it out loud. When he finished reading the list, his mouth was already dry.
Li Qingling was very pleased, he ran to the kitchen and poured a cup of water for the village chief to drink.
The village chief was very satisfied with Li Qingling's way of doing things. He felt that Li Qingling was very good at being human.
"Ink, take a look at this. What's missing?"
Liu Zhimo glanced at Old Li and the others, then turned to the village chief and spoke of the things that were missing.
Hearing that, the village chief took in a breath of cold air, he turned and glared at Old Li, pointing at his hands while trembling.
After a long while, he finally said the words that came out of his mouth, "Old Li, Old Li, I'm not talking about you. Aren't you being a little too ruthless? I have never seen such relatives that covet their granddaughter's betrothal gift. You have truly broadened my horizons! " With that, he suddenly thought about the matter of Old Li seeking him out before, his face immediately changed as he stared fiercely at Old Li and interrogated him, "Old Li, tell me honestly, when you went to find me to persuade Xiao Ling to marry me, did you already covet Xiao Ling?"
If it was really like that, then he was also deceived by Old Li.
Thinking of this, the Village Head trembled in anger.
Old Li gritted his teeth with all his might, he absolutely could not admit that they had already thought about coveting Li Qingling's betrothal gift a long time ago.
If he were to admit to this, the Li family would be finished.
"Fourth brother, how could I have such an idea?" His face was full of shame. He reached out his hand to slap himself as he hatefully said, "I was the one who didn't take care of the pearl and made her do such a wrong thing."
Li Qingling frowned as he looked at Old Li. He felt that Old Li was ruthless and directly pushed Li Bao Zhu out.
If any outsiders were to find out that Li Baoyi had done this, her life could be considered as over, she really wouldn't be able to get married.
She didn't believe that Old Li wouldn't know about this matter at all. Even if he beat her to death, she wouldn't believe it.
The Village Chief coldly snorted, "This is a matter of your family. How are you going to discipline her? I don't care. Now, you have to make up for all the missing things."
He couldn't just let go of so many things that were missing.
If there were one or two less, he could still persuade Li Qingling and the others. For his sake, forget it, he would not bother with them anymore.
However, this betrothal gift was almost half gone. He had no choice but to give it up.
Hearing the Village Chief's words, Old Li nodded his head repeatedly, promising that he would take those things back.
"Then we'll wait for you in the living room." The village chief looked at Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo. Seeing that they did not object, he heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly brought them into the hall and sat down.
After the Village Chief and the others left the room, Old Li's expression completely darkened. He looked at Li Laifu and asked him, just how many things did he take?
Those things had already been given to his sweetheart. How could he possibly take them back? Li Laifu frowned as he looked at Old Li, saying that he did not take anything.
Old Li was not stupid, he knew that this son of his was not telling the truth. He coldly looked at him, then turned his head to look at the trembling Li Bao Zhu and told her to call Mrs. Liu in.
Li Bao Zhu responded with a small voice, then ran out of the room to call Mrs. Liu.
Since she was young, she had always been very afraid of her grandfather. The moment he got angry, his heart would become even more afraid.
She could also feel that this matter of coveting Li Qingling's betrothal gift would not be so easy.
Not long after, Mrs. Liu ran in and anxiously asked how Old Li was doing. What did Li Qingling say?
With a "pa" sound, the kitten raised its head and slapped Mrs. Liu, causing blood to trickle out of the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Liu felt her ears buzzing, and then she held onto the burning part of her face and turned her head to look at Old Li in disbelief. The anger in her heart surged, and she wanted to be angry, but when she saw Old Li's eyes that were about to spew fire, the anger in her heart was silently extinguished.
She had a premonition, that if she dared to cause a ruckus with Old Li, he would definitely not let her off, and would immediately divorce her and return her home.
At her age, if she were to be divorced and sent back to her family, what kind of life would she have left?
Because of this, the rage in her heart was extinguished with a rise.
Old Li lowered his voice and roared at Mrs. Liu, "If it wasn't for you, you wretched woman, coveting for Li Qingling's betrothal gift, how could something like this happen? You would have completely shamed our family."
He was regretting marrying this evil woman even more now.
If she wasn't so biased, Li Qingling wouldn't have been so cold to his grandfather. He could now enjoy Li Qingling's blessings and live in a big house.
I'm so regretful. I'm so regretful that my intestines are turning green.
She also told Old Li in a suppressed voice, "If you didn't agree to my plan, how could I have done it? After all, you have a large responsibility, so don't place the entire responsibility on me."
She definitely would not be the one to take all of this blame.
"You …" Old Li's thoughts were revealed so casually by him, causing his expression to become even more unsightly. He shouted at Mrs. Liu, "If you dare speak any more nonsense, you can go back to your family. My Li Family cannot afford to supply a great Buddha like you."
Being threatened by Old Li, Mrs. Liu became mute, and did not dare to retort.
She was afraid that if she talked back, Hugh would really go back to her mother's house.
Although her son was already so old, and even if she was abandoned, her son could still raise her, but she still couldn't afford to lose face.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu did not make a sound, Old Li nodded her head in satisfaction, and told her to take Li Qingling's things and bring them back.
"Those are good stuff. Do you really want that little b.i.t.c.h?" She really didn't want to return it.
She had never worn anything so good in her life and she wanted to show it off!
To make her take it out now was like slicing a few times on her body. It was extremely painful.
Seeing that he was unwilling, the anger in Old Li's heart rose once again, and angrily said, "It's fine if you don't take it back, but you can use silver to pay!"
He was clear about Li Qingling's temper, if she did not take back these betrothal gifts, he would definitely not let this matter rest.
Hearing that she had to pay with silver, Mrs. Liu was even more unwilling. She unwillingly ran back to her room and took everything that she had brought back.
She endured her heartache and gave everything to Old Li.
Old Li looked at the list, nodded for a bit, and took back a few things. He then turned to Li Laifu and asked, "Where are the other things?"
After being asked this question, Li Laifu's eyes lit up, and after a moment, he said that he would give it to Huang Meiniang.
The meaning behind his words was that if he gave it to someone else, he wouldn't be able to take it back.
When he said that, Old Li was not angry, but she was furious, she did not care about lowering her voice, and directly pointed at Li Laifu and scolded, "You prodigal son, how can you give her such a precious thing? "She hasn't pa.s.sed through the door yet?"
Her heart ached even more when she thought of those things.
He scolded Huang Meiniang in her heart and felt that she had bewitched her son and allowed him to take so many precious things.
Being scolded like this by Mrs. Liu, Li Laifu felt a bit of unhappiness in his heart. He pursed his lips, and did not say a word.
"Alright, stop being so noisy." Old Li scolded Mrs. Liu before s.h.i.+fting his gaze to Li Laifu. "Laifu, go and take back those things. If you can't, then let her pay with silver."
That was still not his daughter-in-law. He would not side with her.
Moreover, in his heart, he felt that Mrs. Liu's curses were right, what if Huang Meiniang hasn't pa.s.sed yet? How could he give her so many precious things? If this wasn't a waste, what was?
"Dad, how can we take back this gift?" If I say I want it back, can she marry me? Do you want me to be a bachelor for the rest of my life? "
This time, Old Li was on Li Laifu's side, and he directly said with a voice filled with hatred, "Why are you so foolish? This is when you're trying to test her sincerity. If you take back the item, she won't want to marry you. That means she doesn't have you in her heart and only covets your money. "
Hearing that, Li Laifu actually felt that Old Li's words were reasonable, he could not help but nod his head, and said that he would go and find Huang Meiniang now to get it.
He also wanted to see whether Huang Meiniang was sincere to him or not.
Old Li nodded his head in satisfaction and told him to go as he pleased.
After Li Laifu left, Old Li walked out of the hall and told Li Qingling that he had not brought back some things. Once he had brought them back, he would send them to her alone.
Li Qingling raised his eyebrows and acknowledged, telling Li Qingfeng to call someone to help him carry the betrothal gift.
She was not afraid that Old Li would lie to her, since she had the betrothal gift list in her hands, she was not afraid that he would deny it.
When the people outside heard Li Qingfeng's words, they all asked Li Qingfeng, what happened inside? Why take the betrothal gift away?
Li Qingfeng did not receive Li Qingling's reminder and did not speak carelessly. He only said that they will know in the future.
The villagers could only restrain their curiosity and help to carry the betrothal gift.
