Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Looking at her father, Li was unsure if he didn't flinch or show any guilt. But that matter had been weighing on her mind for years, and she really didn't want to hide it any longer.

"Shortly after I married your fourth uncle, one night when I was changing clothes in my room, I heard a noise at the door. I quickly put on my clothes and went out to see what was going on, and I saw your father walking back into the room. I looked around, and there was no one else there except your father," Li said, looking at Li Xiaonuan with shame and indignation.

Li Xiaonuan looked at her father in astonishment, and her father was also surprised, looking blankly at Li Shi. After hearing Li Shi's words, the fourth uncle did not lash out at Li's father, but instead stepped forward, grabbed Li Shi's hair, and slapped her across the face.

Li covered her face and asked her fourth uncle in despair, "What, are you brothers starting to love each other now? You useless coward, all you do is beat your wife when she's being bullied."

Uncle Si slapped him again before saying to Father Li, "Brother, I'm sorry for marrying such a troublemaker. I was wrong."

Instead of blaming his fourth uncle, Li's father advised him, "What kind of man beats his wife? Just let go of your sister-in-law first, and any misunderstandings will be cleared up."

Fourth Uncle obediently let go of Li's hair, but pointed at her nose and cursed, "What a vicious woman! You've held a grudge for so many years over something that didn't happen. Let me tell you, I was the one who was peering through the door back then. I was just curious why you locked the door and wanted to see what you were doing behind my back."

"Just then, my elder brother came back from outside, so I ran away feeling embarrassed. Tell me, besides this unfounded rumor, what other revenge are you planning against the Li family?"

Li slumped to the ground, muttering repeatedly, "That's not how it is, you're lying to me. Why are you all lying to me? Why? You said that after we got married, you would open a small shop and we would live a peaceful and happy life together. But we've been married for over ten years, where is the shop?"

"You said that having me in this life was enough. But what about the woman you're keeping on the side? I raised your children and took care of your mother. Even when you were away from home most of the year, I never complained. But how have you treated me?"

"The ridiculous thing is that I've been deeply remorseful for so many years because of this misunderstanding. Every time I think about it, I feel like I've let you down. That's why I'm angry, I hate, I'm going crazy. And now you're telling me that all the torment I've endured all these years was just a misunderstanding."

"Heh, Li Dagong, you probably don't know, but over the years, every time you hold me, I think of the humiliation of being spied on that day. I stubbornly feel that my body is already defiled."

Uncle Si squatted down in front of Li Shi, grabbed her shoulders and shook her back and forth, and roared: "Then why didn't you tell me? Why? All these years, is this how you torture yourself and me? My poor, innocent eldest brother is about to be tormented to death by your deep thoughts. You are too terrible, really too terrible."

Seeing that her fourth uncle was in a bad mood, the old lady quickly got up from her seat, grabbed his arm, and hit and scolded him: "You good-for-nothing son, you do whatever your wife says. Look at what good things you've done all these years? Alright, don't blame anyone, it's all your fault."

Fourth Uncle slumped to the ground, continuing to tear at his hair in frustration. Li Shi knelt there blankly, her eyes unfocused. Father Li was the most innocent of them all, utterly at a loss.

Chen hid behind her fifth uncle, clutching his sleeve tightly. The shock on her face completely concealed her usual arrogance and ignorance. Her fifth uncle watched everything unfold before him with a heavy heart, standing silently to the side.

Now that things had come to this, Li Xiaonuan finally felt a sense of relief. She had Xiaoyang help the old lady sit up and then took the opportunity to speak: "See? This is the trouble caused by the family's lack of unity. If everyone had helped each other and worked together as a family, would this misunderstanding have happened?"

Seeing everyone looking over, Li Xiaonuan concealed the pain on her face and said worriedly, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there's no point in talking about what happened before. Let bygones be bygones, and we'll continue living our lives as usual. I just hope that you won't fight amongst yourselves again."

"Now, let me tell you about the life-or-death crisis our family is currently facing."

After Xiao Yang helped the old lady up, he went out to look for Su and the others. Just as Li Xiaonuan was saying this, they came in.

"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with our family?" Su asked anxiously.

Li Xiaonuan concealed the regret in her eyes, cleared her sore throat, knelt in the middle of the main room and said, "In order to get the renowned surgeon to treat my father, I took out some things that our family shouldn't have been able to provide. Now, those things have become the death knell for our entire family."

Li, who had been helped up from the ground by Mao, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Xiao Nuan, are you kidding me? What could possibly kill our entire family? Don't scare people like that."

Looking at Li's pale and weak face, and then at the incredulous reactions of everyone in the room, Li Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not lying at all. That's why I said we need to unite. I'm telling you this only so you know that even if we don't fight amongst ourselves, we still face a severe test."

Everyone in the room watched Li Xiaonuan quietly, waiting for her to continue.

"To make you all safer, I won't say what it is. I just want to say that if our family had encouraged and helped each other back then, we definitely wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Of course, I will try my best to protect everyone. After all, you know nothing about this. So, I beg you all, please stop making trouble, okay?"

"Fourth Uncle, stop trying to get involved with the government. We don't have the ability. You can continue with your small businesses; they're quite lucrative. I'm only advising you this to prevent you from risking your life and fortune. It's up to you whether you listen or not."

"Finally, I just want to say, please listen to me this once. From now on, everyone should keep quiet and stop causing trouble. If any strange people ask you strange questions, just tell them what you know."

The old woman's frail and weak voice rang out: "Who exactly did you offend? Why did it affect your clan?"

Li Xiaonuan replied softly, "Grandma, don't you know who I am? A hundred years ago, the Li family was the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat. Grandma, our family name is also Li, which is quite unfortunate."

The old woman stood up in surprise, pointing a trembling finger at Li Xiaonuan, and said, "You... how could you know? This is impossible, you are... you are..."

Originally, all of this was just Li Xiaonuan's guess, but she never expected it to turn out so accidentally. Now, Li Xiaonuan feels that things are even more complicated. Considering the royal family's methods, they will find out their family's origins sooner or later. When that happens, what kind of storms will their clan have to weather?
