“How much does the medicine cost?”
Li Xi glanced at him and said, "About eight articles."
"I choose two."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Li Xi extended his hand to Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi looked at her extended hand with some confusion, and tentatively stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation."
Li Xi disliked his ink stain, so she held his hand and shook it up and down twice, then took it back without any hesitation and returned to the room. She had exhausted too much energy today and needed to rest for a while.
Gu Jingzhi, who was standing there, looked down at his hand. Apart from his mother and sister, this was the first time he held a girl's hand.
Her hands were more delicate than mine, but the palms were thin and calloused, giving people a very powerful feeling.
Gu Jingzhi took back his hand, looked up at the blue sky, and raised the corners of his mouth.
…
Madam Liu didn't come back for two days in a row. The Li family continued to live as usual. In the morning, Li Xi would go to the mountains to collect herbs after cooking, and in the afternoon she would collect herbs at home. Gu Jingzhi was even more generous than before, spending time in the yard every day. Walk around, get some sun, etc.
Only Huzi became silent day by day. He would sit on the threshold outside Li's house every day, looking at the only road leading here.
Li Xi knew what he was waiting for, and Li Xi was waiting too.
She knew it would be bad for the Liu family to keep Mrs. Liu, but she had already shown her "strength" in front of them. Thinking about it, they didn't dare to go too far. At most, they would scold her a few times or ask her to do more. Some work.
This is good, it also lets her know the true face of the Liu family, and then she will know how to choose.
But Li Xi never expected that the development of things would be so outrageous. Just as he was about to go out that morning, Mrs. Liu came to the door with Lady Liu...
"What did you say?" Li Xi frowned and looked at Madam Liu who was hiding behind Mrs. Liu.
Seeing Li Xi's angry look, Mrs. Liu was so frightened that her liver trembled, but when she thought of the money that Wang Yuanwai promised to give, she still suppressed her fear, swallowed and said, "Da Ya, your mother is not very old, she wants to move forward." It's normal. You can't let your mother remain a widow for your father for the rest of her life.
Moreover, Wang Yuanwai said that he would not leave you and Hu Zi alone. "
The border gates were often plundered by the Huns. The men around them died on the battlefield, and countless men were captured and made slaves by the Huns. Therefore, the border gate government has always supported widows to remarry, otherwise what would happen to the fertility rate in the border gates.
So there is actually nothing wrong with what Liu said.
Li Xi did not look at Mrs. Liu, but looked straight at Mrs. Liu behind Mrs. Liu.
"Is this what you think too?"
Huzi was very happy to see Mrs. Liu come back, but he never expected that his mother would tell them about her remarriage when she came back.
Huzi knew what remarriage meant. The father of the third son of his village was captured by the Huns, so his mother remarried to Uncle Wufu and threw the third son to his grandparents.
"Mom, don't you want us anymore?" Huzi looked at Madam Liu with red eyes and choked with sobs.
Madam Liu looked at Hu Zi's appearance and felt a little shaken in her heart. She had feelings for Tie Zhu, and she didn't want to do this even before Tie Zhu's bones were cold.
Mrs. Liu noticed Mrs. Liu's wavering, stretched out her hand and tugged on her hand, looking at her pleadingly.
Needless to say, Li Xi knew that this matter was caused by the Liu family.
"Are you sure you want to marry someone else before my father's body is still cold?"
Li Xi looked at the hesitation in Madam Liu's eyes and sneered at the corner of her mouth. The original owner's father had cared deeply about her for so many years and never let her do the dirty work. He never expected that he would raise such a heartless and unjust person.
Madam Liu looked at the sneer on Li Xi's face and felt that she was laughing at her, and the guilt in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"I'm sorry for your father, but your uncle needs money to get married. If you were willing to take out the money, why would I do this?" At the end of the sentence, Mrs. Liu looked at Li Xi resentfully.
In her opinion, she could have been loyal to her husband, but it was Da Ya's fault for taking away the money. She could not watch her brother go to jail.
After hearing what she said, Li Xi smiled. What did she mean? Threaten yourself.
If she doesn't give her money, she will remarry. It's as if she is forcing her to remarry. She really knows how to excuse herself.
The remarriage must have been planned by the Liu family, but since Mrs. Liu was behind her, they definitely wouldn't dare to force her.
This kind of thing can't be slapped, and Madam Liu is definitely moved.
Mrs. Liu didn't say anything when she heard Mrs. Liu say this. It would be fine if she could get money.
Li Xi will never agree to give money. This gap cannot be opened. Once the Liu family knows that this is their family's weakness, their family will never have peace.
She wouldn't give them this chance.
"Sister?" Huzi tugged on Li Xi's left hand, pleading with his eyes. He didn't want to lose his mother.
Li Xi looked at Huzi's appearance and sighed in his heart, he was still so young.
"Uncle is married?" Li Xi sneered, "You have been sold once for him, and you want to be sold a second time?"
Li Xi really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. Why hasn't she seen the true face of the Liu family clearly until now? Or maybe she has already seen it clearly.
"Da Ya!" Madam Liu's eyes widened. She didn't expect Li Xi to say that.
Ms. Liu had a look of regret on her face, "Da Ya, how can you say that she is your own mother? You are looking down on your mother!"
Your mother raised you two like shit, you can't lose your conscience! "
Madam Liu no longer looked away from Li Xi, her eyes only contained resentment.
Li Xi looked at the way she looked at him and felt a chill in his heart. Now that things have happened, it seems that she has made a choice.
"Am I wrong? Madam Liu, you should reflect on yourself. After selling five daughters, you raised a waste like Liu Yaozu. Shouldn't you reflect on whether you have committed too many sins and raised such a pig or dog? scumbag.
Oh, no, I shouldn't say that pigs and dogs are inferior. This does not taint pigs and dogs. How can his scum be compared with pigs and dogs? "
"Also, do you know what severance of ties means? If you don't know, I wouldn't mind going to Shijing Village again to teach you."
"You still have no conscience? Do you know how to write conscience? Who among the surrounding villages doesn't know that the most conscienceless ones are your Liu family.
You have the nerve to come to our Li family and bark, who do you think you are! "Li Xi said with a cold face, it was really shameless.
"You! You! You..." Mrs. Liu's hand pointed at Li Xi kept shaking.
"What are you, Parkinson, you!" The fire in Li Xi's heart was not as big as usual.
Madam Liu worriedly supported Mrs. Liu and looked at Li Xi with a look of disgust, "Li Daya, I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age. If I had known you were such an ill-fed wolf, you might as well have I strangled you to death when you were born."
