Chapter 1143 - 924 Truth 3
The first lady of the Li Family walked into the courtyard, hearing the old lady Li cursing non-stop."...The Li Family, who deserve a bad death, are simply heartless. I curse you all to die a horrible death.
Taking advantage of my family’s Yanyan but leaving this old woman to slave away like a horse.
You all have black hearts and will get retribution sooner or later. I curse you every day with incense sticks so you won’t die in peace.
The kind where not even a corpse remains!"
The first lady of the Li Family was furious upon hearing this.
"Someone!"
Two maids stepped forward.
"Madam!"
"Throw this old hag into the water jar and clean out her mouth for me!"
The two maids hurriedly approached, grabbing the old lady Li from left and right.
Old lady Li, who was washing diapers for Zhao Chunxiang, was taken aback.
"Let go of me! What are you trying to do?
I’m telling you, my Yanyan is a Lucky Star, she’s the disciple of the National Master. If you dare to harm me, when she comes back, I’ll tell her and make sure the Li Family has bad luck."
"Is that so?" The first lady of the Li Family sneered coldly upon hearing this, standing in front of the old lady Li with a stern face.
"Old witch, before the Li Family dies badly, I, the first lady, will see that you go first!"
"M-Madam, when did you arrive?"
Old lady Li was quite scared when she saw the first lady. Even though she cursed loudly all day with foul language, that was only when there were no servants in the courtyard.
If there were any servants around, daring to utter a single curse would result in a sound thrashing.
The methods of a wealthy family could be unforgettable.
At this moment, old lady Li was trembling all over upon seeing the first lady, preparing to kneel.
However, the maids holding her gave her no chance to kneel, pulling her straight to the water jar under the eaves, forcibly shoving her head into the water.
"Mm-mm-mm... Help... mm-mm-mm..."
"Splash..."
They let old lady Li lift her head to catch her breath, only to press her head into the water again.
"Mm-mm-mm... mm-mm-mm... Help... glug..."
Old lady Li’s head was pressed into the water, and every time she opened her mouth, she swallowed a great gulp of water, with absolutely no way to call for help.
"Stop, what are you doing?
Who’s bullying my mother, let her go, let her go!"
From inside, came the anxious shouting of Li Erlang.
"Help, Dad! Are you there? Save Mom, someone’s bullying her, Dad,..."
Li Erlang’s father was the only one in this courtyard still free to move. Not for anything else, but because he was too much of a coward. When in Ling Village, he dared not resist his wife, allowing her to domineer over him, cursing and making a scene.
Here, initially, he was flattered and fed well by those here, even calling each other brothers with the old master of the Li Family.
Later, the old master grew weary of him as well. The servants began to deal with them, and the first lady of the Li Family even cut off the servants and expenses here, daily giving them just enough to keep from starvation.
But the old man Li was still free, yet he wasn’t content, leaving early every day and returning with a strong scent of alcohol. When old lady Li asked about it, he would hit her until she was half dead.
Later, from the servants’ gossip, Li Erlang learned that his father had been incited by people outside.
"Why are you shouting?
Your damned old man left long ago, stop your wailing, or we’ll deal with you too!"
The steward, Uncle Li, heard Li Erlang shouting inside, quickly entered and glared at him fiercely, delivering threats.
"Li... Uncle Li, why are you here?
What... what happened to my mother?
My mother is just a countrywoman, she doesn’t know any better, if she’s offended you or the first lady, I beg you and the first lady to be lenient, not to hold a grudge, I’m begging you!"
Li Erlang’s legs were broken, sitting alone on a low couch, filthy beyond measure. As soon as he opened his mouth, a foul stench emanated.
Uncle Li stood in front of him for a moment, almost vomiting.
Uncle Li quickly covered his nose, stepping out of the room before speaking.
"Spare me the nonsense, your old hag put this upon herself with her foul mouth, this is her own doing. If you want to avoid suffering, mind yourselves in the future!"
"Enough, spare me the talk with these peasants, everyone go about their business!"
