These three people stood together, and for some reason, they gave people the impression that they were not easy to mess with no matter how they looked at them.
When Li Da Niu saw him, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and stood there for a few deep breaths before speaking.
"Junzi, just stay at home! Hurry, come back with me. Your sister is about to be tortured to death by Liu Dongsheng's family. If she is lucky today, she may still be able to survive. Otherwise, you can go over and collect her body."
When Li Jun heard this, he was shocked, and then he pursed his lips tightly, like a wooden stake, and stood there without saying a word.
"Come on, why are you standing here? What, you don't want to? Do you still regret that your sister didn't come back when your mother was gone?"
Seeing him like this, Li Da Niu felt anxious and her tone was unavoidable.
Outsiders may not understand Li Yuan, but as a fellow villager, or perhaps as the only acquaintance with Li Yuan in Shuiyun Village, she somewhat understands the other person's difficulties.
It was certainly wrong that Li Yuan did not go back when her mother died, but there were two main reasons.
First, her character is called gentle and supple at best, but weak and unassertive at worst.
Secondly, no one from her natal family supported her.
When Li Yuan's father died, the two siblings were young and had no means of making a living. In addition, they had a mother who was lingering in bed, so the family was heavily in debt.
Li Yuan received a betrothal gift of eight taels when she married into the Liu family, but the dowry only included a worthless copper hairpin and not even a thin bedding, let alone a bucket for descendants.
Mr. Liu was a mean person and often used dowry as an excuse.
At this time, whenever someone from the Li family came to see her every once in a while, or brought something to someone, Mrs. Liu would not dare to be so arrogant, and Li Yuan's life would be much easier.
But Li Jun was young and had to be busy making money and taking care of his sick mother, so he couldn't take care of his sister at all.
As for the siblings' grandparents and uncles, I don't know if they were too cold-hearted at first.
Anyway, it's the same as not. He has never cared about her, not even as a normal relative.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Liu intensified and became more and more mean.
Li Yuan, who had been suppressed by her all year round, felt as if her spine had been ripped out and she couldn't even straighten her back.
This has been going on for years, and by the time her mother is gone, she has been worn down by Mrs. Liu, as if there is only a shell left.
As a distant sister, Li Da Niu was anxious in her eyes and wanted to help, but she didn't know where to start.
Li Yuan has been weak-tempered since she was a child. She can't stand up and her relatives don't care about her. As an outsider, how can she help?
In the end, all she could do was secretly give some food to the two sisters when they saw that they were so hungry that they were drinking water.
When Li Yuan's child was sick and Mrs. Liu refused to pay for a doctor, she borrowed some money that was never returned.
But now she is very happy that Li Yuan seems to be able to stand up. At least she knows that when she fails, she can ask Daya to call her to find Li Jun.
She believed that as long as Li Yuan could survive this life-and-death crisis and leave the Liu family, she would get better and better in the future.
Even if he really can't survive it, at least Li Jun is here to help collect the bodies, and then make plans for the future of the two children.
Otherwise, according to Liu's virtue, even if she, Li Yuan, died, it would be nothing more than a hasty thin coffin.
No, there might not even be a thin coffin, just a straw mat!
As for the two sisters, Da Ya and Er Ya, they may just end up being sold.
It's not that she wants to make malicious assumptions, but Mrs. Liu is a cruel person and has always looked down upon the sisters.
Being sold is very possible!
Li Jun heard the dissatisfaction in Li Da Niu's tone and knew that she had misunderstood him. After taking a few deep breaths, he released his hands that had been clenched into fists and said in a deep voice: "Sister Da Niu, I know this. , you go and do your work first, I’ll be there later!”
Seeing him like this, Li Da Niu knew that he would not ignore it, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll go call someone from the clan!"
After saying that, she didn't explain to Li Jun more about Li Yuan's physical condition before she came back, and hurriedly ran away again.
As soon as she left, Li Jun didn't need to speak, and the two young men standing next to him expressed their opinions.
He was tall and strong, and called Yang Gaowu with an aggressive look. He reached out and patted Li Jun on the shoulder: "Junzi, don't worry, brother, I'll call a few people from the escort agency to come over and support you."
The thin and sickly scholar named Xie Yanzhi said directly: "Junzi, if you need my help, just ask."
"Thank you, Brother Yang. Brother Yang, there is no need to call people. You can just go with me. Brother Xie, you are in a special situation, so you won't go. If you need anything, I will I must ask you for help."
Xie Yanzhi is the eldest among the three. He is twenty-five years old this year. He is a talented scholar. He was selected as a scholar when he was ten years old.
Unfortunately, after that, his luck took a turn for the worse. One month before the first autumn, his father suddenly fell ill and died.
For this reason, he cannot participate and can only wait for the next three years to take the exam again.
In the second autumn, he finally entered the examination room smoothly. After a few days, he answered all the questions and was about to put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the Gongyuan, and the ink was knocked over on the paper.
From then on, he became increasingly unlucky.
In the third autumn, when he was halfway through the exam, he suddenly got upset and had to be taken to the toilet. Naturally, the paper was stamped with shit.
For those who take the provincial examination, once their papers are stamped with shit, no matter how good their answers are, the examiner will not take a look when marking the paper.
The fourth time, the year before last, on the day before the scientific examination, his mother died again.
So much so that no matter how talented he was, he still failed to pass the examination.
However, since his mother died the year before last, his bad luck has become worse and worse.
Usually when eating, either the bowl cracks for no apparent reason, or pebbles can be eaten.
When walking, a small stone would roll out of nowhere on the originally flat road, causing him to trip.
You must be careful when drinking water or soup, otherwise you may choke to the point of being out of breath.
You can't even put a penny on your body, otherwise it will either be dropped or stolen.
He usually falls with bruises and bruises all over his body for various reasons.
As luck would have it, he has a good fortune, has been living well, and is quite able to make money.
His calligraphy is good, and whether he is copying books, painting or writing some storybooks, his price is much higher than that of ordinary people.
He didn't dare to keep the money he earned. Instead, he asked the shopkeeper of the bookstore to give the owner of a certain restaurant the amount, and he would eat there every day after that.
How much money should be given to which embroidery shop, so that every season, etc., I can make him two sets of clothes, shoes, etc.
Of course, the medical clinic’s money is also essential.
After all, he was unlucky enough to be beaten and beaten all day long and was a frequent visitor to the hospital.
He once tried to cook for himself, but inexplicably started from the kitchen and burned down two rooms in his house.
