Li Xi did not feel any emotion at all about what Lady Liu said. After all, there would be no disappointment without expectation.

But it was not the case for Hu Zi. Hu Zi looked at Liu Niangzi, whose eyes were full of resentment, and shuddered subconsciously. Is this still his gentle mother? Why does she look so strange?

Li Xi: "Do you really trust the Liu family so much? Which family with a really good daughter would immediately encourage her to remarry after the son-in-law dies?

Do you understand what the situation is in Mr. Wang’s family?

"The family of the official sounds quite wealthy. Is she going to be the legal wife?"

It is impossible for a family like this to not be able to find a wife. Even if Mr. Wang wants to marry, I think there will definitely be many willing women even if they want to find a virgin. Why would Madam Liu, a widow who has given birth to two children, do this?

"Mother?" Madam Liu looked at Liu.

When Liu saw Madam Liu looking at her, she looked down at her feet with a evasive look in her eyes, "Well, what's wrong with being a concubine? Mr. Wang has a big family and a lot of wealth, so being a concubine is better than being the wife of a farmer."

"Be a concubine, did you hear that? Do you really want to be Mr. Wang's concubine?" Li Xi asked Madam Liu.

Madam Liu did not answer Li Xi, but turned and ran out.

"Oh, apricot blossoms!" Liu saw that something was wrong and hurriedly chased after them.

Hu Zi also followed him out, but Li Xi stood there and did not stop him.

After such a commotion, Li Xi was no longer in the mood to go to the back mountain, so he simply went to collect the medicinal herbs that he had dried two days ago.

Gu Jingzhi walked out of the room.

"Aren't you sad?"

Li Xi looked up at him and said, "Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must pay the corresponding price for their choice."

It’s not impossible for her to solve the problem of Madam Liu wanting to remarry, for example, by going to the Liu family again with a machete.

But there was no need. She no longer believed it in her heart. No, it was resentment. She already hated herself in her heart. No matter how much she did, it would be thankless.

Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that she was so open-minded.

"The Liu family obviously has bad intentions."

"So what? It's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten." Li Xi put away the dried herbs, then turned around and walked out, "I'm going to go out for a while."

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's leaving back and smiled, with a hard mouth but a soft heart.

Li Xi left home and walked along the path towards the village entrance. Halfway there, she saw the poor little thing squatting in the corner and sobbing silently.

Li Xi sighed and walked over. She squatted beside Hu Zi and patted his shoulder. "Cry if you want to."

Hu Zi turned around, hugged Li Xi's arm and began to cry, crying loudly until he was choked with sobs.

"Wuwuwu... Sister... Mother doesn't want us anymore..."

"Sister...I want mommy...wuwuwu"

Li Xi patted his back gently, letting his tears wet her clothes.

Hu Zi's crying gradually became weaker, and gradually only soft sobs remained. Li Xi then picked him up and returned the same way. "It's okay, you still have your sister. Sister and Hu Zi will always be together."

Hu Zi raised his head from Li Xi's neck, his red and swollen eyes dim, and his tone was full of cautious expectation, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Li Xi touched his head, "Have you forgotten? Sister also promised to send Hu Zi to school."

"Hu Zi, don't you believe me? I'm sad." Li Xi said pretending to be depressed.

"No! No! Hu Zi believes in his sister." Hu Zi waved his hands quickly.

"Then Hu Zi, can you tell your sister what happened just now?" Li Xi coaxed.

Hu Zi's little body stiffened for a moment, but soon calmed down after Li Xi patted his back gently.

"I asked my mother if I could not leave."

"What did she say?"

"Mom didn't say anything, but the bad mother-in-law said my sister and I were a burden and told us not to stop Mom from living a good life." Hu Zi said angrily, "My sister and I are not a burden."

"and then."

"Then?" Hu Zi's voice was a little low, "Then she took her mother away..."

Li Xi sent Hu Zi home and then left the house. This time she went directly to the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The familiar village entrance, the familiar big trees, and the familiar people.

"Isn't this Daya? Come, Daya, come here quickly."

As soon as the people under the tree saw Li Xi, they called her over. They had just seen Liu and Mrs. Liu enter the village. They thought they were going to send Mrs. Liu back, but they didn't expect them to leave again after a while.

Not knowing what was going on, they were as curious as a cat scratching its head.

Li Xi came here for them, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Hello, aunties."

"Hey Daya is good too, our Daya is really polite."

"By the way, Daya, we just saw your mother and your grandmother come and go. What happened? Does your mother still want to live at your grandmother's house?" Aunt Ma asked curiously.

Li Xi naturally wouldn't tell the truth, "Oh, she said that a cousin in Shijing Village was getting married, and she was afraid that we wouldn't know the situation and would worry, so she came back to tell us, and she will be back after the banquet."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Some people believed it, while others didn't. However, no one speculated about remarriage. After all, Li Tiezhu had been buried not long ago, and his body was not even cold yet.

Lijiazhuang is not far from Shijing Village. Many wives in the village were married from there. The place is so small that what happened on the day Li Xi picked up the knife was no secret and it spread to Lijiazhuang the next day.

"Well, I heard that she married a good man, Mr. Wang." Li Xi said casually.

"Mr. Wang!" Qian Dajuan exclaimed, "But Mr. Wang already has a wife, he's taking her as a concubine!"

"That's for sure. Mr. Wang is a shameless pervert. I heard that he already has five concubines, so he's planning to take in a sixth." Aunt Ma said with emotion, "The Wang family is really rich. How can ordinary people marry so many wives?"

Li Xi: Madam Liu’s age cannot be considered as the sixth oldest, but more like the sixth oldest.

"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Wang's taste is quite different from that of ordinary people? There are rumors that he likes wives. I heard that he slept with the wife of the groom in their house." Jiang Xiaojuan said.

"Ah, I've heard about this too. I heard that the groom was so angry that he went to argue with Mr. Wang, and ended up getting beaten up with a stick."

Qian Dajuan glanced at Li Xi who was listening attentively and coughed twice, "Okay, what nonsense are you talking about, Daya is still here."

These old ladies really don't know how to control their words. The child is still here, and they say whatever they want.

Li Xi was a little confused at first. Although Madam Liu had maintained herself well, she was not young after all. So why did Mr. Wang fall for her? It turned out that this was the reason.

"Aunts, please continue your conversation. I'll be leaving first. Hu Zi is waiting for me at home." Li Xi said and got up to leave.
