After Mrs. Fang left, Mrs. Li sighed, glanced at Luo Deyun with disapproval, and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, you can't say it properly. It will hurt the harmony between the two families..."
"Second aunt!"
Luo Ran interrupted her, took out a list from his sleeve and sent it to Mrs. Luo, saying: "Two days ago, I asked Aunt Du to help check the betrothal gift list, and found that many things on it were inconsistent. I asked the steward I realized that my second aunt is usually in charge of these matters. Now that I have to break off the engagement, I would like to ask my second aunt to find out more about it, so as not to be caught short-circuited."
Li's face turned pale.
Mrs. Luo looked at the list and then at Mrs. Li. A tea cup flew over and landed close to Mrs. Li's forehead. Tea splashed all over her body.
The old lady pointed at Mrs. Li's face and cursed: "You short-sighted thing! How dare you touch your niece's betrothal gift! The Luo family has been completely disgraced by you!"
With Luo Deyun by her side, Mrs. Luo would have to show off even if she was partial to Mr. Li.
Mrs. Li knelt in front of the old lady, with runny nose and tears: "Mom, my wife is also forced to have no choice! Such a big family needs to eat and drink. My uncle and Ran'er have just returned to Beijing, and I'm afraid they won't be able to live well." I’m used to it, and I’m afraid that Ran’er will be wronged, so there’s no need for money!”
Luo Ruxue also helped her mother cry: "Grandma, don't blame mother. Mother is also doing it for the good of our house. In order to make the eldest sister live comfortably, mother gave up all her own dowry!"
Mrs. Luo pointed at the mother and daughter, looking very distressed: "Even for Ran'er, you can't touch her betrothal gift! If word of this spreads, will the Luo family lose face? Will Xue'er still get married? People? And Jun'er, haven't you thought about it? "
Li: "Mother! Ran'er has lost her mother since she was a child. I can't bear for her to be wronged again!"
The three of them hugged each other, crying and scolding. Cao also tried to persuade them with her big belly. She turned around and saw Luo Ran standing quietly in the middle of the ground looking at them.
Ms. Cao was stunned and waved: "Ran'er, why are you still standing there? Come here and persuade your grandmother. Your second aunt is doing this for you too!"
Luo Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Second Aunt, you keep saying it's for me, so let's do the math."
Li stopped crying: "What is it?"
Luo Ran sat down and took a sip of tea before speaking slowly: "Calculate how much my second uncle's annual salary is, what percentage of the family's annual income is, and how much money my father has added to the family over the years. Also, "
Luo Ran's voice suddenly said: "Since the second aunt said that my father and I spent a lot of money back in Beijing, let's ask my grandmother to take a look. Let's see how much my father and I have eaten and used these days. What's in the room? What are they displaying?"
"Not to mention other things, even the wooden bucket I bathed in, I think the nun next to my second aunt doesn't like it either. Let's just do a calculation today and see where all the money has been spent!"
"Also, the second sister said that the second aunt used her own dowry for the sake of this family, but how did I hear that it was the second aunt who saw that my mother's dowry was not enough, so she filled it in? As for why my mother's dowry was less, why did she still use it? Grandma, please check carefully and don’t wrongly accuse a good person.”
Li's face turned pale and red. She didn't dare to let anyone do the math. As long as she did the math, wouldn't it be impossible to hide the money she had gained from Gong Mo over the years?
The one used on Luo Dewen is also reasonable, but I'm afraid it will be found out that she has filled her natal family. I'm afraid the old lady will be the first one who can't spare her.
Li could only pretend to be confused and cry about the hardships she had endured for so many years.
Luo Deyun had a headache from the noise and waved his hand: "Okay! Stop crying!"
He looked at Luo Ran again and said in a slower tone: "Ran'er, go back with your second and third aunts first. Dad has something to tell your grandmother."
Mrs. Li was eager to leave quickly, and after a hurried salute, she took Luo Ruxue and left quickly.
Mr. Cao also left wisely.
Luo Ran also knew that her grandmother would not embarrass Li unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, she didn't care if her grandmother was partial, as long as she got a lot of things in her hands, and the rest was Li's own business.
She glanced at her father and saw him nodding towards her, then turned around and came out.
Just as he walked to the door, he saw a dark shadow suddenly appear at the door of the courtyard. Before he could see clearly, the person was running towards him like a calf.
It was too late to hide at this time, Luo Ran was knocked to the ground firmly.
The palm of her hand was cut by the stone slab on the ground, and her stomach hurt like a knife. Cold sweat flowed down her face. She held her stomach and said nothing for a long time.
Luo Hongjun stood in the middle of the courtyard, proudly puffing up his chest, pointing at Luo Ran's nose and scolding: "You little whore, how dare you bully my mother and my second sister, see if I don't kill you!"
Mrs. Li's face turned pale as she just reached the door, and she quickly came back to hold him back: "Jun'er!"
Luo Hongjun was spoiled on weekdays and didn't listen to Mrs. Li at all. He was still cursing: "Let me tell you, the Luo family belongs to our second room, and it's not your turn as a motherless girl to point fingers!"
Luo Ran calmed down, endured the pain and sneered: "Is the Luo family your second wife?"
Luo Hongjun looked at Luo Ran with an even more fierce look, raised his foot and kicked Luo Ran in the face: "He's from our second room! Even you, I'll kill you if I want!"
Seeing the foot attacking his face, Luo Ran instinctively closed his eyes.
After waiting for a while, I didn't feel any pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw Luo Hongjun falling a few meters away. Behind him was a big tree hugged by one person. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and he couldn't make a sound. .
Luo Deyun stood in front of Luo Ran like a murderous god.
"I want to see today who dares to touch a hair of Ran'er!"
Mrs. Li wailed and rushed over like crazy: "Jun'er! My Jun'er!"
"younger brother!"
Luo Ruxue also rushed over.
"You!" Mrs. Luo saw such a scene when she came out, and she almost couldn't stand still.
Just as he was about to speak, he met Luo Deyun's cannibalistic eyes and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Jun'er is still a child, why do you have to have trouble with a child?"
Luo Deyun didn't even look at them. He bent down and picked up Luo Ran distressedly. The voice of a dignified man was a little hoarse: "Ran'er, why does it hurt? Tell daddy."
Luo Ran endured the pain, shook his head, and showed a difficult smile: "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry."
On the other side, Mrs. Li also shouted for the doctor.
Mrs. Cao had been so frightened that she stayed aside and didn't dare to say a word.
Mrs. Luo was a little displeased when she saw that her eldest son was completely ignoring her: "Since Ran'er is fine, you'd better hire a doctor for Jun'er first. The child is young, so what should I do if he gets hurt?"
Luo Deyun held his daughter with one hand and turned to look at Luo Hongjun.
Luo Hongjun almost lost half his life due to the kick just now. At this time, he was even more afraid of Luo Deyun, trembling and not daring to say a word.
Luo Deyun sneered and said: "You should pray to keep Ran'er safe, otherwise, I will definitely let him be buried with him! Looking for an imperial doctor? He is worthy!"
He bent down and picked up Luo Ran and walked away. Before leaving, he turned back and said coldly: "If mother still recognizes my son, she will discipline them well. Otherwise, I don't mind starting a battle with the emperor, even if I lose my official position and title." , I also want to divide this family!"
