Madam Liu was useless, and with the threat of a machete, how could Liu dare to play any tricks? She followed in front with trembling legs, because Li Xi didn't know the way to Liu's house.

As for Madam Liu who was standing there in a daze, Li Xi and Mrs. Liu ignored her. However, Madam Liu did not stay there for long and soon caught up with them. However, this time she did not go up to stop them. Instead, she looked at Li Xi with complicated eyes.

She once again felt that her daughter was very strange. What did Tiezhu say to her?

Madam Liu glanced at her trembling old mother with an unpleasant expression. Did she tell her about the Liu family, which is why she had such a big reaction to the Liu family?

Thinking of this, Madam Liu couldn't help but feel resentful towards Li Tiezhu and Li Xi.

She had listened to her husband for so many years, and now that her husband is gone, she has to listen to her daughter. Mrs. Liu's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt that her life was really hard. How could anyone live such a miserable life like her, being controlled by others at her old age?

After walking for a while, they arrived at Shijing Village, which was named after a stone well at the entrance of the village.

The stone well at the entrance of the village is just like the big tree at the entrance of Lijiazhuang village, where villagers gather to chat.

Before entering the village, Li Xi no longer carried the machete openly, but wrapped it with the rag that Liu used to cover the basket and placed it on her lower back, whispering, "I warn you not to do anything tricky, otherwise?"

Li Xi poked Liu with the machete. Liu felt the sharp sensation on her waist, straightened her back, arched her belly and leaned forward, fearing that Li Xi would hit her accidentally.

"No, no, don't worry, I wouldn't dare to do it. I wouldn't dare to do it." Liu walked forward tremblingly, cursing herself inwardly for not checking the almanac before going out today and encountering this unlucky star.

The people chatting around the stone well were a little surprised to see a little girl following Liu. They looked at each other and asked, "Who is this?" They didn't know her.

The village is so big, there shouldn't be anyone they don't know.

"Mrs. Liu, who is this girl?"

Mrs. Liu had no mood to answer them. She just wanted to go back quickly. The old man and Yaozu were at home. She would have plenty of ways to teach this little bastard a lesson then.

She didn't want to stop, and Li Xi didn't want to either. She wanted to finish the matter quickly and go back home.

Someone recognized Madam Liu who was following behind Li Xi and Liu.

"Hey, isn't this an apricot blossom?"

"Xinghua!"

"That's right, Mrs. Liu, this isn't your fifth girl. I haven't seen her in many ways."

When Li Tiezhu married Lady Liu, there was quite a big fuss. The Liu family asked for a huge dowry of ten taels of silver, and Li Tiezhu actually gritted his teeth and gave it to her.

Naturally, the Liu family would not let go of such a rich son-in-law. But Li Tiezhu was no pushover. He said directly that even selling his daughter would not bring him such a high price. He could give the betrothal gift, but the two families would have no contact after that.

What Li Tiezhu meant by this was that he wanted to break off the relationship with the Liu family. In consideration of the ten taels of silver, the Liu family naturally agreed.

However, the Liu family has always been untrustworthy. After receiving the money, they still wanted to shamelessly establish a relationship with the family. Before they could even start to throw a tantrum, they were subdued by Li Tiezhu.

To hit the snake, hit it at its most vulnerable part. Li Tiezhu pinned Liu Yaozu down and beat him up, saying that he would beat Liu Yaozu every time he saw them in the future.

Liu Yaozu was the apple of Liu Gen and Liu's eye. Seeing him being beaten to the point of being unable to get out of bed, how could they dare to provoke that evil spirit Li Tiezhu again?

People in Shijing Village knew a lot about these things. After all, the incident was quite a big deal at the time. The village was so small that if you farted at one end of the village, you could hear it at the other end.

So they were also surprised to see the apricot blossoms.

Seeing that they were about to surround them, Li Xi pushed the machete against Liu's waist. Liu quickly said, "It's Xinghua, it's Xinghua. Her father is waiting for her at home. Let's talk later if there's anything. Let's talk later."

When everyone heard her say this, they stopped coming over and sat back down.

"Xinghua hasn't been back for so many years. It's time for her to go back and see her father."

"Okay, go ahead and we'll talk later."

Li Xi walked forward with Liu Madam, and Liu Madam followed them silently. The people near the stone well watched them walk farther and farther away, and they always felt that something was wrong.

Soon under the leadership of Liu, they brought the Liu family.

Thanks to Madam Liu's daughters, the Liu family's house was built quite well. They passed by many houses along the way, and the Liu family's was definitely one of the top ones.

Madam Liu felt a little dazed when she saw the completely unfamiliar courtyard. Before she got married, her family only had two small, dilapidated houses, and now it was really hard for her to feel familiar with the five large rooms in front of her.

When she got home, Liu hurried to open the door, dodging the knife that had been pressed against her waist. Then, as if stimulated by a burst of potential, she ran into the yard, shouting, "Old man, Yaozu! Murder, murder!"

Liu's scream not only alarmed Liu Gen and Liu Yaozu who were lying in the room, but also alarmed the neighbors.

Li Xi pushed Madam Liu into the yard, then entered the door and locked it.

Li Xi glanced at the Liu family's messy yard. There were chicken droppings and fallen leaves all over the ground, as well as small puddles formed by the melting snow. It was obvious that this family was not one that loved cleanliness.

The chicken shit all over the floor made it impossible to step on, and Li Xi felt extremely sick.

"Oh, oh, oh! Someone is crying!" A rough male voice came from the room, and soon a middle-aged man with a beard came out. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.

His clothes were messy, his hair was frizzy and felted, he looked sloppy, and his face was full of impatience. When he saw Madam Liu in the yard, he frowned and said, "Mom, why did you bring her back?"

Liu Yaozu naturally knew that Lady Liu went to ask for money, but he didn't expect his mother to bring them back. Could it be that they had no money and came to their house to beg for money?

Liu Yaozu looked even more impatient as he thought about this. At this moment, another person came out of the room, a thin old man with wrinkles and loose skin on his face, looking very skinny.

Liu Gen came out and recognized Mrs. Liu. He gave his old wife a look, meaning to ask her what was going on.

But Liu was no longer in the mood to watch. Now that she was home, she had fewer concerns. After all, there were so many people on their side, how could a little girl rebel?

Liu pointed at Li Xi and cursed, "You little bitch, how dare you scare me with a knife?"

"Father, Yaozu, hurry up! Catch that bitch for me! She took more than thirty taels of silver from me."

When the first sentence came out, Liu Gen and Liu Yaozu hadn't figured out what was going on yet. But after hearing Liu said more than thirty silver coins, they didn't care about figuring out what was going on and rushed directly towards Li Xi...
