After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.
Chapter 22 Only Petty People
When Zhou heard that it was twenty taels of silver, her eyes lit up, and she wished she could reach out and snatch it.
Could there really be such a good thing in the world? She got rid of that annoying girl and also gained something? She didn't know if her husband was willing, but she was definitely not a problem with him!
Li Shu couldn't help but think that Chen Yousong was really naive and honest!
Where else can you find someone who lays out all their bargaining chips on the table? Others try to get something for nothing, but he's offering his own flesh to feed a lion!
At this moment, Li Shu understood that her uncle was determined to get rid of her from the Li family and would not give up until he achieved his goal. It would indeed be inappropriate for her to refuse him repeatedly in front of Zhou Shi.
Living under someone else's roof? She didn't consider it.
Li Shu was used to being an orphan and had little attachment to blood ties or relatives.
For the sake of the original owner, let's put the other party at ease first.
“Uncle, you’re underestimating my father. You’re so considerate of me. If my father knew, he would naturally go along with your wishes. How could he possibly ask you for money? Please rest for a while and wait for my father and brother to come back before we talk about this foster care matter in detail,” Li Shu said with a smile.
Although Chen Yousong was happy that Ali had become more eloquent, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Ah Li still doesn't understand Li Chutian and the Zhou family!
Do you think they'd be willing to sign a contract without paying them? This couple won't act until they see a tangible benefit; they're not so easy to talk to!
When he came to the Li family in the past, he didn't just buy things for Ali alone. He also had to take care of the other three children in the Li family, otherwise Ali would not be able to keep what she had!
Chen Yousong went to the main room and sat down, waiting quietly but anxiously.
He had been granted three days' leave thanks to the special care of Captain Ma. These trivial matters had to be completed as soon as possible, or he would be subject to military law if he returned late. Therefore, he was worried that Li Chutian would procrastinate and deliberately evade responsibility as before.
With those twenty taels of silver hanging over her, Zhou went out to call for help.
Li Aman locked herself in her room, her crying disturbing everyone. Uncle Chen thought this little girl from the Li family was really noisy; she bullied Aman and still had the nerve to cry...
Soon, the three members of the Li family, father and sons, returned.
Li Chutian forced a respectable smile, and when he saw Chen Yousong, he addressed him as "Big Brother" with exceptional enthusiasm. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that the two had a deep and affectionate relationship, like blood relatives.
Chen Yousong particularly disliked Li Chutian's hypocritical and pretentious manner, but he had to admit that the other party was better at dealing with people than he was.
"I just heard that my elder brother is planning to have Ah Li fostered in your Chen family?" Li Chutian's eyes narrowed into slits. "It's not that it's impossible, but this child has finally grown up and can help the family with a lot of things. If she leaves, my husband and I will really miss her..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu didn't stand on ceremony: "Then I won't leave. I'll stay at home and see you off in your final days. I promise, when you die, I'll kowtow more loudly than anyone else!"
"..." Li Chutian's heart clenched.
"???" Chen Yousong was in a daze for a moment, looking at Li Shu in shock, and was a little confused.
Did his niece say that?
His meek and submissive Ah Li, who wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly at home, actually dared to provoke her father like this?! This girl is probably going to get a beating!
“You brat… adults are talking, children shouldn’t interrupt! Get out!” Li Chutian said, his face flushed.
"Adults? Where are the adults? I only see a little man and an honest man." Li Shu grinned. "Dad, I poked the chicken feathers today, did you see?"
"How dare you say that? You burned your sister's hair like that and then denied it to the outside world! When did you develop such a vicious heart!" Li Chutian saw his youngest daughter as soon as he got home and felt sorry for her.
"So you're going to punish me again? There are a lot of mosquitoes today. I'm willing to keep watch tonight. I promise I'll burn all the mosquitoes in this alley clean in one night." Li Shu threatened, seemingly seeing through the other's thoughts.
What skills does Li Chutian have? He only has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Want to scare her with your words? She'll just tell him her own tricks first, so he won't have to say anything; it's just too annoying to listen to.
Li Chutian was truly at a loss with Li Shu at this moment, after all, Zhou had already vividly described the situation of today. In the past, when he punished A Li, he would always find fault first, and then he would teach her with a clear conscience.
But today she acted unusually cunning, as if Zhou was deliberately framing her, leaving him with no way to retaliate.
“Ah Li, don’t think that just because you’ve managed to convince the neighbors a little, I, as your father, am powerless to do anything about it. I am your father, and if you continue to be so disrespectful, even if your uncle were here, I could still take action!” Li Chutian’s eyes darkened.
He is an elder, so even if he beats the girl to death for no reason, the government will not hold him accountable!
Just because we give in to her a little, she thinks she's something special?!
“Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Don’t forget what I said before, Dad.” Li Shu laughed nonchalantly. “Now that my uncle wants to take me away, I don’t want to trouble him, but I also don’t want him to worry. So you signed a contract saying that my marriage will be decided by my uncle and you will not be involved. I will still live in the Li family and help with the chores. It’s a win-win situation.”
"That won't do!" Zhou, who had been eavesdropping outside, immediately jumped out.
“What I mean is, your previous engagement was arranged by the Chen family, but look what happened… it turned into a murder case! If more trouble comes up later, it will be our family that loses face,” Zhou added.
Li Shu didn't look at her, but only at Li Linsheng, who was standing silently to the side.
"Isn't your brother worried that the information I gave you isn't true? If I run away, who will you hold accountable? We siblings will have to support each other in the future," Li Shu said with a smile. "Have our father sign a contract, and I'll tell you the information I have today. That way, you can make arrangements as soon as possible. I promise, this is an opportunity not to be missed."
Chen Yousong's feelings were complicated, and he didn't know how to describe them!
What is Ali saying?!
What news? What accounting, what timing?! How could he not understand?!
Moreover, why is she speaking to the Li family father and son like this? Her attitude is completely different from before!
Furthermore, he said he would take her home! But she only brought up marriage and insisted on staying at the Li family home. Why?!
Chen Yousong was filled with questions: "Ali..."
Just as he was about to speak, Li Shu said directly, "Between relatives, it's just fostering a child. Even if we're paying money, it should be the Li family paying the Chen family. Uncle, if you truly care about me, then listen to me. Otherwise, I won't have the face to see my aunt in the future."
"Father, I want to hear about her. As for that contract, it's not really important. Just sign it and have my younger brother write it. I'll find some guarantors." Li Linsheng didn't care about these trivial matters at all.
All he wants is his own benefit.
Li Chutian gave Li Shu a deep look, very unwilling, but Li Shu's words just now were not without reason.
Ah Li isn't entirely useless now, but he has a strange temper and is untrustworthy. Only by keeping him in the Li family and keeping an eye on him can we feel at ease.
