In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Chapter 288 Spreading rumors and causing trouble

"So that's the case. That doesn't matter. We're here by ourselves now, so there's no need to trouble you to pick us up." Li said bluntly.

The Li couple stayed in the house like scoundrels and were unwilling to leave.

From his words and actions, he seemed to have regarded himself as one of the masters of the mansion.

Meng originally wanted to drive the other party away, but she was no match for Li. Li's character was inherently sarcastic and mean, and she had great wisdom but no cleverness.

She had made up her mind long ago when she came to Beijing this time, and she would not leave no matter what.

"Sister Meng, do you know how miserable I am? I live in the capital with luxurious clothes and delicious food, but I don't know what life my second brother and I have at home. We have no food to eat and are worse off than the beggars in the city."

"I had no choice but to come to you, thinking that at least we were family and you would definitely take me in. Now I just want to live in peace and stability. How about you please be kind and do it for my mother's sake?"

At this point, Meng had no way to deal with her. If she continued to drive the other party away, it would not look good if it got out. Besides, she was weak in character and could not say any harsh words.

The arrival of the second brother's family caused chaos.

The servant came to report that Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin's date was forced to be interrupted, and she could only go home as soon as possible to deal with the troubles of her second uncle's family.

"Sorry, we can only go out together another day."

"When did you and I become so polite? Let's go back and take a look first. I hope nothing happens."

Xie Chengjin didn't care at all that his good mood was ruined, and then the two of them returned home together.

The whole house was in a mess. My second uncle was lying on the ground with a bruised face and blood on one hand. He looked miserable.

Su Zhizhi had no sympathy. On the way back, he already had a rough idea of ​​what had happened in the mansion.

My second uncle still couldn't change his gambling habit. He had just arrived in the capital and was itching to gamble, so he took the last of his money and gambled a few times. The result is obvious.

Not only did he lose all his money, but he also owed a lot of gambling debts. That's how gamblers are. They are always thinking about making a comeback in the next round.

"Zhizhi, please save your second uncle. Can you help find a doctor first? If he continues like this, his life might be in danger." Li begged Su Zhizhi desperately.

Facing Li's request for help, Su Zhizhi had no expression on her face. How could she not know the other party's character? If he was a good person to get along with, she wouldn't mind helping him, but this family was obviously a bad relative.

If you dare to help, they will take the opportunity to cling to you and never leave, just like a mangy dog.

"I'm sorry, second aunt, my ability is limited and I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You should figure it out yourself." Su Zhizhi said lightly.

Seeing Su Zhizhi's performance, Xie Chengjin beside her immediately understood what she meant. He didn't have a good impression of this family either.

"Everyone, this is not the place for you to act wild. Whoever let you in without permission, get out now."

"Someone is coming!"

Xie Chengjin was not so polite to them, and Li usually only showed off her power in front of Meng. Facing a high-ranking official like Xie Chengjin, she could not muster any courage.

Under coercion, they had no choice but to leave obediently and dared not make any more noise.

But he still couldn't swallow this anger, so he walked a few steps and turned around to spit: "Bah, you guys who look down on others, one day I will let you know how powerful I am."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced around to make sure no one noticed before he quickly left.

Second uncle's life was getting worse and worse. People were always asking him to pay their debts. Whenever he couldn't come up with the money, he would be beaten up. The injuries on his body never healed.

"Wife, I know you still have some money. Can you give it to me to help me pay off my debts? Don't worry, I will never gamble again. I swear this time, if I gamble again, let someone break my legs."

How could Li possibly believe his lies? This wasn't the first time this had happened, and all her patience was exhausted.

"Get lost! If it weren't for you, how could we have ended up like this? How come I ended up with such a useless man like you? I haven't had a good day in all these years."

Li had no intention of paying off his debts. It was unclear whether she really had no money or just didn't want to let him go.

Recently, the news reached my grandmother's ears. After all, he is her own son, so how could she really ignore him?

The old grandmother secretly took out her coffin book to repay part of the debt for the second uncle, so that the family could live in peace.

"Madam, the Li couple found a large bunk bed not far away and temporarily settled down there. It doesn't look like they have any intention of leaving."

"Very good, keep watching and tell me immediately if there is any movement."

Su Zhizhi arranged two people to keep an eye on the Li couple in order to prevent them from causing trouble again.

In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, she secretly assigned a lot of guards to Su Peizhi when he was in school, so as to prevent the other party from taking advantage of her again.

Li and the second uncle never gave up returning home. Whenever they got the chance, they would grab Su Zhizhi's sleeve and complain. But Su Zhizhi was not Meng after all. No matter how miserable the other party's words were, she never let go.

"You two should go back soon. With all due respect, it's inappropriate for you to stay here any longer. You have no place here. Even if you wait till the end of time, I won't accept you."

After the words fell, Su Zhizhi turned and left with an expressionless face.

"The world is going downhill, it's really going downhill. We just want a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Don't you even have the ability to satisfy us with this little request?"

Li cried and made a fuss, but this trick had no effect in front of Su Zhizhi.

Seeing that Su Zhizhi had gone back to send someone to close the door, Li also ended her acting.

I cried for such a long time, but not a single tear fell.

"What should we do now? Are we really going to go back? I don't want to go back and suffer again."

Second uncle is lazy and likes to eat. He sees that you are unwilling to leave after you have achieved prosperity.

Li's eyes rolled and he finally came up with a solution.

"Let's spread rumors in the capital first, saying that they don't respect their elders. Xie Chengjin is an official in the court, so he must pay attention to his reputation among the people."

The idea was a good one, but he didn't know that his every move was under the control of Xie Chengjin, so how could he spread rumors?

Li gritted her teeth and bribed a few beggars, but the rumor never spread. That night, the beggars were beaten up by people sent by Xie Chengjin, and they vomited out the silver they had eaten.
