Chapter 166 One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure
Li Xiaoyu glanced into the room and replied, "Based on what you saw, what else could it be?"
"No, Third Brother."
She took a step, and Li Wu followed. "I abused you before, but he is getting better now. What I mean is that you didn't abuse him, right?"
His tone was a little impatient and a little confused.
Li Xiaoyu bent down, straightened the little girl's arms, and lifted them up.
He replied slowly, "Well, I didn't abuse you. I lied to you before."
This honest remark confused Li Wu.
He stood there in a daze for a while before realizing that he had been kept in the dark.
Seeing that he looked like an eggplant hit by frost, Li Xiaoyu crossed his arms and glanced at him with a half-smile, "Are you angry?"
After a long time, Li Wu came back to his senses.
He shook his head and said, "No...no, it's just that I seem to be even more useless."
The eldest son tries to outdo himself at home every day, and the third daughter has been kept in the dark from beginning to end. Looking at it this way, he seems to be really useless.
He turned his head to look at the room and asked curiously, "Has our Li family been saved?"
Li Xiaoyu was not sure how to answer this question.
After all, Gu Fei is the decision maker.
She raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "I don't know, I think...if we don't do evil again in the future, we should have a chance to survive."
As his mind gradually became clearer, Li Wu's ability to understand improved.
He knew that the third brother was pointing at him.
He coughed loudly at the beginning, walked out the door, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and came back and said in panic: "After what I've experienced, how can I dare to do it again? I'll just stay on the one acre and three mu of land and work as a farmer."
He had a general understanding of the situation and had to go back to compete with his eldest son for work.
"Old Three, I'm leaving."
Having said that, he shamelessly went to the room again and greeted Gu Fei on his own: "Third son-in-law, I'm leaving. You don't need to see me off."
Gu Fei opened her eyelids and looked at him coldly.
This glance made Li Wu feel cold all over, and he also knew that he was a bastard.
He coughed twice, took out his pipe and put it in his mouth, pretending to be fearless, and left the Gu family in a daze.
When he left, Li Xiaoyu noticed that the hand holding the pipe was shaking.
She recalled that his hands seemed to tremble often.
Is it caused by smoking too much?
Watching the figure disappear, she put away her doubts and continued to teach Li Mei boxing.
A few days passed in a flash, and while she was delivering goods in the city, she went to the government office.
Just then, the master came out from inside with a tired look on his face. Seeing her, he barely pulled himself together and greeted her: "Xiao Yu is here."
The woman nodded and looked around the yamen.
"When will Qi Yi and his son be executed?"
The legal advisor and the county magistrate had been troubled by this matter these days. He took Li Xiaoyu to the backyard, pushed open the door of the room, and motioned for her to sit down.
Putting down the backpack, she took the tea from her master's hand and took a sip.
I heard the master say helplessly: "The case from 20 years ago was uncovered and alarmed the superiors. Someone above wants to protect them and their son. The position of the county magistrate and I is limited. We are currently waiting for the young prince to make arrangements."
Thinking of Gu Fei having so many opponents, Li Xiaoyu felt a little worried.
She asked worriedly, "Even if he still has power in secret, the higher up you go the more dangerous it will be. Can he make it work?"
Hearing this, the lawyer drank the tea in one gulp.
He chuckled: "You still don't know the little prince well enough."
Li Xiaoyu was confused by these words, and she also laughed: "I really don't know him well enough."
It was a rare chance to relax, so the master was willing to chat with her for a few more minutes.
"At the beginning of this month, I overheard something. When you cooperated with your father, many people secretly wanted to kill you, but they were all suppressed by the young prince."
Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the surprise flashing in her eyes, the master softened his voice: "I said this with no other intention, I just want to say that his power is far greater than you and I imagined. You don't need to worry too much, just live a good life."
Listening to his advice, the woman nodded thoughtfully.
She hissed, "When will he finish his work? I want to see both father and son die."
The master had rarely seen a woman among the common people who was more courageous than her.
I couldn't help but be amused by her: "I'll send someone to inform you when there's news, so you can be there in person."
Seeing the blood in person...
She was worried about fainting, but if she could see the executioner cut the neck, it would be of great help in drawing a portrait of the murderer later.
Thinking of this, she felt that fainting from blood was nothing.
He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Before she left, the lawyer assigned her another small case, which was not a big case, and was about catching a thief.
Someone had seen the prisoner's appearance, but the master felt that the painter's painting was not as vivid as Li Xiaoyu's, so he gave the job to her.
She was happy to accept it.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The more skills you learn, the more refined they will become.
For her, it's a good thing.
She was shopping in the city, and then she met Li Guangchang and Wang Guihua who were also shopping in the city.
Seeing them carrying large and small bags, she asked in confusion: "It's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and you're already preparing for the New Year?"
The Chinese New Year she was referring to was the lunar New Year.
According to the Gregorian calendar, it is January 1st, but that is not the New Year they want to celebrate.
Wang Guihua explained to her as they walked: "This is not New Year's gift. Your father's birthday is coming up and this is for celebrating his birthday."
Birthday wishes?
Li Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, as if Li Wu’s birthday was approaching.
She looked at the woman beside her calmly, and said in a calm voice with a hint of curiosity: "Aren't you going to divorce him? And you're still celebrating his birthday."
Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Wang Guihua's face.
She was not afraid of being laughed at by her little daughter. Thinking about the changes in him over the past few days, she smiled awkwardly.
"I wanted to divorce him, but when I saw that he had lost one ear and rolled around in pain every night, I couldn't bear to do it."
As she spoke, she lowered her head.
She laughed at herself and said, "Xiao Yu, isn't my mother really useless?"
Wang Guihua's situation reminded Li Xiaoyu of modern events. Because she lived with her grandparents, she lived in the old city for a long time when she was a child.
There was a couple living next door to them. When they were young, the man was hanging out with other people, which led to frequent quarrels and even fights between the two.
In addition to their family, many people advised my aunt to divorce.
The aunt cried and drank every day, and finally one day she decided to divorce the man. But then something happened to the man and his personality changed, and the couple just lived like that.
And then it's a lifetime.
After all, I still have feelings for the man in my heart, and I don’t know whether such a life is happy.
Outsiders just watch it for fun and can't understand it.
Only they themselves know the truth.
Seeing that they had almost finished buying things, Li Xiaoyu rented a carriage, and the whole family rode in the carriage towards home.
Sitting in the carriage, she pouted at Wang Guihua.
His tone was calm: "You are quite useless. I feel bad for you because you only have one ear."
Wang Guihua lowered her head in shame at her daughter's impolite words. Li Guangchang was about to explain a few words on behalf of his mother when he heard his sister say again.
"You have lived with him for decades. After all, you are living with him. I can only say that it is one willing fight and one willing fight."
"So you're going to live with him like this?"
