Chapter 95 The First Wife
"Don't cry. If you cry again, I'll sell you out." Zhang Wenbin slapped her in the face when he got home. Thinking of the way she looked at that man at Li's house, he became furious. She dared to seduce a man in front of him. She must be tired of living.
Li Jiaojiao didn't know what she had done to offend him, but she didn't dare to cry anymore. She just sobbed aggrievedly.
With a cold snort, Zhang Wenbin sat down on the stool: "What is your relationship with that man?"
"No, we have no relationship." Li Jiaojiao hurriedly denied it when she heard it.
"I don't think you dare. You have to know that you used tricks to get into my house. My original intention was to marry Xiaoxiao, and the position of the principal wife was hers. If you are obedient, I can ensure that you will have food and clothing. On the contrary, if you are disobedient, I will make you regret living in this world."
"I'll be obedient." Li Jiaojiao said tremblingly.
"Well, that's good. Go back tomorrow. I don't care what method you use. I just want to marry Li Xiaoxiao. Do you understand?" Zhang Wenbin pinched Li Jiaojiao's chin and rubbed it constantly with a sinister tone. He took out a silver note from his arms and threw it in her face.
At daybreak, Li Jiaojiao dressed neatly, put a veil on her face, called the coachman, and returned to Qinghe Village.
When Liu returned to the Li family, she was a little surprised. She just came back yesterday, so why did she come back again today? Li Jiaojiao, with a veil covering her face, pulled Liu back to their room.
As soon as she entered the room, Li Jiaojiao threw herself into Liu's arms and burst into tears, crying so hard that she was very sad.
"Oh, my dear daughter, what happened?" Liu saw her daughter crying sadly and asked hurriedly.
"Mom, I don't want to be Zhang Wenbin's concubine." Li Jiaojiao raised her head from her mother's arms, her pretty little face full of tear marks.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
After a while, Li Jiaojiao calmed down, but she was still sobbing as she spoke: "Zhang Wenbin beat me and said that he wanted me to help him marry Xiaoxiao, and that he would sell me out if I didn't listen to him."
"How could he do this? He treats my daughter so badly." When Liu heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to curse. But then she thought, her daughter is no longer a virgin, who else can she marry if not him? Now that things have come to this, she can only persuade her and comfort her.
"Jiaojiao, all men are like this. All the young masters in the county have three wives and four concubines. If we women want to live a good life, we must learn to endure and use tricks. Zhang Wenbin hasn't married yet, but he will marry sooner or later. In my opinion, Li Xiaoxiao is better than other women."
"Mom, why do you say that?" Her mother was right. It was normal for wealthy families to have several concubines, but she hated Li Xiaoxiao, especially the face that was prettier than hers.
"Daughter, think about it. If another woman becomes Zhang Wenbin's legal wife, it's fine if Zhang Wenbin dotes on you. If he doesn't dote on you, you'll have a hard time. But Li Xiaoxiao is different. No matter how much she dislikes you, you are cousins, so she can't do anything to you. Zhang Wenbin will also not neglect you too much for the sake of your relationship."
Li Jiaojiao was not stupid to begin with, and could be said to be quite clever. After Liu's analysis, she quickly figured it out. Even if Li Xiaoxiao would not bring her any benefits, at least with their identities, her status in the Zhang family would be higher than that of the other concubines.
"Then what should we do to get Li Xiaoxiao to marry her?" Li Jiaojiao asked.
"You should have noticed yesterday that Li Xiaoxiao doesn't like Zhang Wenbin. This is a bit troublesome." Liu frowned and said worriedly.
"Mom, there is one more thing." Li Jiaojiao said, taking out a silver note from her bosom and handing it to Sun.
A twenty-liang silver note suddenly appeared in front of Liu, and Liu was startled: "Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
"My husband gave me this money yesterday. He asked my father to take it with him when he takes the exam." Actually, Zhang Wenbin gave her fifty taels yesterday, but she didn't want to take it all out. She had just thought about it and realized that if she only asked the Li family to help, it would be impossible based on her understanding of the Li family. That's why she only took out twenty taels. With this money, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"My dear daughter, you are so thoughtful and still think about your father so much. Don't worry, when your father passes the exam and becomes a high-ranking official, he will definitely let Zhang Wenbin help you become his wife, and then Li Xiaoxiao will be kicked out of the house." Liu was so happy. The family was discussing selling the land to raise money for Li Dajiang, but she didn't expect her daughter to come here.
While feeling happy, he thought about what happened just now. With this silver, it would be easier to deal with. "I will go to your grandma and discuss how to let Li Xiaoxiao marry him."
It took a long time for Liu to come out of the main room, with a determined look on her face.
"Jiaojiao, come here, mother will tell you." Liu whispered a few words in Li Jiaojiao's ear, and Li Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly after hearing it.
After lunch, Li Xiaoxiao was about to take a nap when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Li Xiaoxiao walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Miss, it's Daya." Daya's voice came from outside the door.
Li Xiaoxiao opened the door and let Daya in.
"Miss, I won't go in. I still have to go cut grass for the pigs. Grandma asked me to tell you something. She said she is not feeling well. She knows you have medical skills, so she wants you to go over and see her." It was noon and Daya was sweating profusely.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Why are you cutting grass for pigs in the middle of the day?" Li Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She had told the Li family before that she knew medical skills, but Old Man and Old Lady Li didn't believe her at that time. Why did they call her over now?
"I don't know about that. He was fine in the morning, but suddenly felt dizzy after dinner. My grandma asked me, Erya and my mother to go cut grass for the pigs, saying that the sows at home were about to give birth to piglets, so we needed to store more grass." Daya thought for a while before speaking.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't say anything after hearing this. She turned around and went back to the house to get three big buns. "You didn't have enough at noon, right? Take one for each of you. Be careful not to get heatstroke. I'll go to the old house in a while."
Daya took the bun with gratitude and said thank you.
After closing the door, Li Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought. Although she didn't know what it was, she was sure it was not a good thing. Old Mrs. Li had made it clear that if someone else came to call her, she might not go. Knowing that she was on good terms with the third wife, she deliberately asked Daya to come. If she didn't go, she didn't know how Daya would be punished.
It seemed that she had to go this time, so she made up an excuse, said goodbye to Sun and went out.
The moment she closed the door, Si Chengxu opened it. He had profound internal strength and heard the conversation at the door just now. He looked at the closed door, raised his head to the distance, and nodded slightly. On a tall tree in the distance, the leaves swayed slightly twice, and soon returned to calm.
