Chapter 225 They treat their whole family like her parents? Who spoiled her like that!
Li Da's eyes widened in anger. "What did you say? You don't want a family member like me? Li San Niang, don't you even think about whose food and supplies you used to eat and use when you were in the Li family?"
"What's wrong? Now that your husband's family has become successful, you think you can just dump your own family?"
Although Gu Ersao couldn't speak, everyone could understand her simple gestures.
But the words were so long, and Gu Ersao was furious, so she gestured rapidly.
The men present couldn't understand it at first, but they could only infer from Gu Ersao's trembling with anger that she must be furious.
Unexpectedly, Li Da blurted it out, and now everyone knows that Gu Ersao doesn't want such family members.
That makes sense. After five years of not visiting, the family members who come to scold their daughter and even throw the child are better off without!
Mother Li was also shocked. In her memory, her daughter, who was timid and only knew how to work, could actually say such rebellious words.
However, she was older after all, and compared to Li Da's irritability, the old woman was calmer.
Li's mother quickly went through the current situation in her mind.
In the past, when this daughter was at her parents' home, she was tightly held in her hands, completely controlled and manipulated.
Even though the Gu family later almost went bankrupt to marry her, that was all of the Gu family's savings.
At that time, the Gu family was emptied out, while the Li family held the dowry for their daughter's marriage and lived comfortably.
But things are definitely different now.
Based on the white flour noodles they used to eat, the Li family can no longer afford them now.
Not to mention the egg shreds mixed with mushrooms and stir-fried shredded meat topping. This kind of food was something that even before the flood, no one in Lijia Village could eat and drink like this on ordinary days.
At first, she thought her daughter was still the same timid person, which is why she dared to treat her as in the past without taking her seriously.
But clearly, Li San Niang is no longer the Li San Niang of the past.
The Gu family, with their lack of vision, have already made her stand tall and strong.
However, the eldest son is also an idiot, and isn't Li San Niang mute?
With her gestures, who could understand them except for a few close friends?
Even if we really want to make a scene, this matter shouldn't be discussed so openly.
The two families need to discuss the matter privately and negotiate the terms. Of course, after giving birth to her child, she wouldn't just agree to it without a word.
If the Gu family cares about her as their daughter and is willing to give her enough money, she will pretend she never gave birth to this daughter.
Otherwise, we must take a bite out of the Gu family.
If the Gu family dares to bring up the bride price, she's not afraid. The girls from those brothels cost more than 10 taels to redeem themselves. Her daughter was a pure and innocent virgin when she married into the family!
On the way here, she had already thought about how to deal with Li San Niang if she disobeyed.
The most dignified way to handle this is for the two families to talk privately. After all, they are all relatives in the surrounding area. She is getting old and doesn't care about saving face, but the grandchildren of the Li family are not yet engaged!
Besides, now is not the time to make a scene and lose face.
Didn't you see how the youngest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, who manages the household, can actually command so many men?
It's clear that the Gu family has done a lot to win people's hearts in the village.
Her eldest son, being young, didn't think things through properly and blurted it out, causing everyone to hear it.
How can they have a proper talk? Right now, these are all people from their Linshui Village. If word gets out about this, will these people have a single good word to say about them?
Even if they wanted to argue, there were only three of them—a mother and her two children—and the second son was a stubborn one.
Even if she and the boss, that impulsive guy, had a mouth full of words, they still couldn't explain themselves clearly!
Mother Li glared angrily at Li Da, then quickly tried to mediate between the two siblings, "Eldest brother, what nonsense are you talking about? We are Third Sister's closest family members, how could Third Sister abandon us?"
"Everyone was wrong just now, but there were misunderstandings first. Now that we've talked it out, everything's fine!"
"What family doesn't bicker? You can't just abandon me every time we have a fight, can you?"
She then glared at Li Da, pretending to be serious, and said, "You're the older brother, don't you know how to be considerate of your younger sister? Why are you taking it so seriously and yelling at her?"
After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Ersao and said, "Third Sister, you really are something. If your brother is wrong, you can scold him or hit him. How did it come to the point of severing ties?"
"Alright, alright, we're all siblings from the same mother, so stop arguing."
As he spoke, he reached out with one hand to pull Li Da and with the other to pull Gu Ersao.
Second Sister-in-law Gu avoided her, turning her face away, clearly unwilling to get close to them.
Mother Li's face stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to its gentle tone. "This child, even though she's a mother herself, is still so stubborn."
Li Da was also unhappy, his face was stern, his body stiff, and his expression was full of confusion, like "What are you saying, Mom?"
Knowing her eldest son's temperament, Li's mother was somewhat disappointed in him.
What was she doing? How dare he ask? She was cleaning up his mess and he couldn't even tell?
Despite her complaints, the work still had to be done. Li's mother glared at Li Da helplessly, giving him a look that told him to shut up. Although Li Da was still unwilling, he let her have her way.
Those present were unaware that Madam Li had just gone through a mental struggle, and were all speechless in shock by her sudden change of expression.
Previously, it was thought that the Li family mother and son had come to freeload, but no, it's no longer that simple. They have their eyes on the Gu family's business and want a share of the profits.
But is this a strategic retreat?
After all, Gu Ersao had already threatened to sever ties with her family. If they did, she would lose any pretext for begging for favors.
Those who understood all sighed inwardly, "This old woman is truly cunning."
The adults in the Gu family immediately saw through Li's mother's plan, and their expressions were not good.
Lin Chang'er's face was particularly grim. The old woman had a silver tongue; she could turn black into white without ever saying it.
They even used her as a sacrifice to appease the heavens. What misunderstanding? They were just subtly blaming her for causing trouble on the fact that she lied to their second sister-in-law about giving birth to a baby girl.
She didn't believe that if they had known from the beginning that her second sister-in-law had given birth to a boy, they would have treated her well.
In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
Judging from Second Sister-in-law's resolute expression and Li Da's unbridled speech.
She didn't even need her second sister-in-law to say anything; she could imagine what kind of life her second sister-in-law used to lead at home.
Disappointment always accumulates little by little; it either explodes in silence or dies in silence.
This time, my second sister-in-law must have completely given up, which is why she said she didn't want these family members anymore.
So this old woman, really, she does bad things but tries to maintain a respectable image, treating everyone else like her parents. Who spoiled her!
