"Xu San?"
Li Wei recognized the man in front of him who was a little taller than himself and had a sinister face.
Isn't it Xu San from Xujiafan?
The first time Li Wei went to Xujiafan and offered to take Li Qiaoer back to her parents' home to take care of her illness, Xu Sanzhen was sharpening a hatchet in the yard.
Before Li Wei finished speaking, the hatchet in Xu San's hand was thrown at Li Wei's feet, almost cutting off his toes.
The second time he went to pick him up, Li Wei learned the lesson and brought wine and fish.
The third time we met today, Xu San came to the house. What was he doing?
"Xu San, this is Lijia Village, don't mess around!" Li Wei warned Xu San sternly.
Xu San held a piece of thatch stalk folded by the roadside in his mouth. Hearing Li Wei's warning, Xu San sneered and spat the thatch stalk in his mouth onto Li Wei's face.
Li Wei was embarrassed, "You..."
Xu San took a step forward, bumped the opponent with his chest, raised his chin and said provocatively: "What am I doing? Do you want to fight?"
Li Wei blushed and hid aside, "A gentleman talks but never touches. Xu San, we are relatives, don't mess around!"
Xu San shrugged and laughed disdainfully.
Then, he turned around and looked around Li Qiaoer from top to bottom.
Seeing Li Qiaoer's red and swollen eyes from crying and the burning slap marks on the left side of his face, Xu San's brows knitted together.
Li Qiaoer looked at Xu San and clearly felt the anger rising in him.
Did he see that I stayed at my parents’ house for more than five days and still haven’t gone back?
So you come to your door and want to get angry?
Li Qiaoer was flustered and frightened, and was about to explain out loud, when Li Weiniang, who was on the bed over there, suddenly spoke up.
The woman changed from the crying emotional and moral kidnapping style she used to face Li Qiao when she was a child. Now she stared at Xu San's back with a straight face, pretending to be a mother-in-law and an elder.
"Xu San, you married Qiao'er, who is the son-in-law of our Li family."
"We don't ask you, the new son-in-law, to come empty-handed, and we don't expect gifts from you, but,"
"I am your mother-in-law, and Li Wei is your uncle. You barged in like this and looked like you were going to fight. You are so ignorant of etiquette!"
When Li Wei heard that his mother began to exert the majesty of an elder to suppress Xu San, he quickly leaned against the bed.
The bedside should be the safest place right now.
When Xu San heard Li Weiniang's words, he slowly turned around. He looked at the woman on the bed with his hands on his hips, twisted his neck, and said casually:
"Old woman, are you trying to show off to me?"
Li Weiniang was stunned, and her eyes widened a lot.
"Which old woman are you calling? Xu San, you bastard, you're not big or small. I was really blind to marry Qiao'er to you!"
Facing Li Weiniang's curses through gritted teeth, Xu San grinned strangely.
"Old woman, you are wrong. You are not marrying your daughter, you are selling your daughter!"
"Since we have all the money and goods, Li Qiaoer is a member of my Xu family, so don't show off to me. I, Xu San, don't recognize this relative, and you mother and son are not worthy of it either!"
"Xu San, you damn thing, you actually said such unscrupulous words, I, I..."
Li Weiniang covered her heart, the pain was so painful that she couldn't even utter the curses behind her.
Li Wei supported his mother, extremely nervous, "Mom, don't get up, you are still sick!"
He was busy patting the woman on the back, but he looked past Xu San and towards Li Qiaoer who was blocked by Xu San behind him.
"Qiao'er, what are you still doing? My mother is so angry at your husband that she can't breathe. Come here and help me!"
Li Qiaoer looked at the woman, who was indeed breathing hard and rapidly.
Based on Li Qiaoer's experience, his mood swings were too great and a mouthful of phlegm got stuck in his throat.
Just when Li Qiaoer hesitated, Li Wei roared at her again.
Li Qiaoer was afraid of this, so he lifted his feet out almost as a reflex.
But his arm was held by a strong hand and pulled back.
He raised his head and met Xu San's dark and cold eyes.
"What are you doing? Do you still want to ink here when the time comes? Come home with me!"
"ah?"
Before Li Qiaoer could react, he was pulled out of the east room by Xu San and came to the main room.
Behind him, Li Wei chased after him.
"Qiao'er can't leave yet...ah~"
Xu San turned around suddenly and kicked up a flying kick.
Li Wei was kicked back to the east room and fell to the ground. His back hit a short clothes cabinet behind him, making a muffled sound.
Li Weiniang, who was still panting when she saw her son being beaten, stopped panting immediately.
"Xiaowei!"
She screamed in a high-pitched voice, got off the bed with bare feet, and stumbled to Li Wei's side.
She raised her head and looked at Xu San and Li Qiaoer at the door of the east room, pointed at them and yelled: "Xu San, you damn beast, if you hit my uncle like this, you will be struck by lightning!"
Xu San looked indifferent and even smiled: "Old woman, don't you understand human language? Our two families pay money and pay people, there is no relationship, and Li Wei is not some bullshit uncle. Brother, he doesn’t deserve it, do you know that?”
Li Weiniang was so angry that she was shaking all over and her hands and feet were cold.
She couldn't handle Xu San, a bandit and gangster, so she vented all her anger on Li Qiaoer, who was next to Xu San.
"Qiao'er, you dead girl, stinky girl, are you a dead person?"
"Your man is knocking on the door like this. If you don't take your mother and brother seriously, why don't you say a word? Are you a dead person?"
Li Qiaoer asked the woman with red eyes: "Mom, what do you need me to do? Will you be satisfied?"
Li Weiniang was stunned for a moment.
Do you even need to ask?
Anyone with a brain inside their head, even if their brain is only the size of a peanut, knows what to do in this situation!
Bite him, tickle him, scold him, push him, if these don't work, then cry, make trouble, and hang yourself to force him to submit.
If that doesn't work, then continue and force him to compromise at the risk of death. Stop and let him make a choice between your life and respect for your mother's family!
Since you bought it, if you die, the four taels of silver will be wasted.
I can’t believe that Xu San wouldn’t do this.
"Mom, do you want me to stand up and risk death in exchange for Xu San's respect for you and my brother? Call your mother-in-law, call him uncle, and then send you wine and food during the holidays? Be respectful and filial?"
Li Qiaoer asked calmly, with a very calm tone, as if he was asking seriously and thinking about the problem seriously.
Li Weiniang saw hope, and her eyes were full of expectations and encouragement for Li Qiaoer.
Xu San, on the other hand, remained silent.
But he did not forcefully interrupt the conversation between Li Qiaoer and Li Weiniang. Instead, he stood aside, tilted his head, and looked at Li Qiaoer silently.
Li Qiaoer smiled, took two steps forward, and stood up from behind Xu San.
