Chapter 121: Replace Li Jinfeng to marry over

~8 min read 1,436 words

Facing Li Xiufen's disfigurement, it's not that the Old Li Woman hasn't made trouble, and hasn't settled accounts with Sun Shi, but even so, Li Xiufen's face still couldn't be changed back.

Even if she made Li Jinfeng kneel in front of her room every day to admit her mistake, and starved her for several days and nights, Li Xiufen still couldn't get rid of that anger.

Li Xiufen's disfigurement not only caused her irreparable damage but also made the Li family almost have no peace these days, fighting and tearing every day.

But Li Xiufen had been obsessed with the disfigurement. She couldn't listen to any comforting words. Seeing that the Old Li Woman didn't help her, she was convinced that the Old Li Woman who originally loved her had changed and no longer loved her.

Nor is it like before, standing on her side regardless of right or wrong.

"All liars! Mother, you are also a liar!"

Li Xiufen pushed away the Old Li Woman who came up to comfort her and ran out of the house.

"Xiufen..."

The Old Li Woman fell to the ground, looking at the back that was gradually moving away with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao studied as usual at home, trained her abilities from time to time, and Jiang Wei also stayed at home to continue tinkering with the cement formula.

The limestone was almost burned, so she drove the carriage to the town again, found the shop that burned the tile kiln, and bought some abandoned bricks, tiles, and ceramic fragments back.

These things were waste products produced during the burning process, no one wanted them, and they weren't worth much money. Jiang Wei didn't spend much money to pull a full car home.

But it was not enough. The ingredients needed for mass production of cement were far more than that.

She discussed with the shop owner that all the waste slag and fragments produced by the kiln in the future would be left to her, and she was willing to spend two wen per jin to buy them all.

This was simply a good thing that fell from the sky. The boss didn't even think about it and agreed.

Thus, Old Man Zhao had an extra job. He drove the carriage to the town to deliver goods to every household in the morning, and went to several porcelain and tile kiln shops to pull waste materials in the afternoon.

He didn't ask Jiang Wei what she bought these useless things for.

Because the carriage had a carriage box to block it, when Old Man Zhao pulled a full carriage of things back to the village every time, the villagers didn't know what was inside, only thinking that the Jiang family's business was getting better and better, and Old Man Zhao ran to the town every day.

Time passed like this for a few days.

Jiang Xiaoxiao heard about the Li family's affairs again from Chunya.

At that time, Chunya was cutting green grass in the courtyard to feed the rabbits, and said: "Xiaoxiao sister, you don't know, when I passed by the Li family courtyard two days ago, I saw the face of the Li family's little aunt, it was really too scary..."

As she said, she also made a shivering action, shook her head and said: "You said a good face, why did it become like that?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao closed the book in her hand, her face didn't have much expression: "Don't worry about her, it's all her own fault."

If she remembered correctly, when she met Li Xiufen under the big locust tree in the village before, she also proudly showed off the rouge and powder on her face.

Although these rouge and powder were specially found by Li Jinfeng to ruin her face, but as the number of times of use increased, when spots began to grow on her face, Li Xiufen should have stopped using those things.

But she not only didn't stop, but used them more frequently, trying to use these things to cover the spots on her face, making mistakes again and again, and finally creating her ghost look.

It must be said that this is all her own fault.

"I don't care about her!" Chunya spat, "She used to bully you all day, now she has become that ghost look, it's really deserved!"

On the way to cut green grass on the mountain today, she also saw many children throwing stones at Li Xiufen's face, and scolded her as an ugly monster, a monster...

If it were someone else, she would definitely help to go up and scold those ignorant children, but seeing that it was Li Xiufen, she turned and left.

"However, I heard that her marriage is going to be yellow..." Chunya turned and said again, "Xiaoxiao sister, you should know about her marriage to a wealthy family in the county, right? I heard from the villagers that the Li family is afraid that the face will scare the young master of the wealthy family, and is preparing not to let her marry over..."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows with interest.

She didn't expect that the marriage between the Li family and the Huang family had twists and turns, and there were changes again...

"Hey, I don't know who will be replaced to marry over..." Chunya sighed lightly.

If Li Xiufen is not allowed to marry over, then naturally only Li Jinfeng will marry over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled.

She probably knew why Li Jinfeng spent so much effort to ruin Li Xiufen's face.

It is really the fascination of wealth. It's just that I don't know, when Li Jinfeng knows that the young master of the Huang family she married is a man about the same age as her own father, will she regret everything she did now.

The Li family at this moment.

Li Xiufen was crying and howling in the courtyard.

"Why! Why should my marriage be given to that bitch Li Jinfeng! Why! I don't allow it!!"

But no matter how she roared and cried, no one in the courtyard paid attention to her.

The Old Li Woman stood in the main room, looking at Li Xiufen in the courtyard with tears in her eyes, and almost couldn't help but walk out.

The Old Li Man scolded her: "Stand still! Do you still want our son to pass the exam!"

He was still holding a letter in his hand, which he had just brought back from the town.

He didn't know how to read, but the content of the letter had already been read to him by someone.

It was sent back by Li Shoude.

He had already met with the people in the Gong Yuan through the people of the Huang family in the state.

Gong Yuan is the examination venue for the imperial examination.

Li Shoude said very implicitly in the letter, but one thing is certain, he has already bought the joints and ensured that the exam will be foolproof!

He repeatedly explained in the letter that he must, absolutely must, treat the marriage of the Huang family well, and not have any deception.

Once the people of the Huang family are dissatisfied, not only will his official career be unable to be guaranteed, but the Li family may also bring trouble because of this.

The Old Li Man who received the letter didn't dare to stay in the town for too long, and hurried back.

But he already had a plan in his heart that he must not let Xiufen marry into the Huang family. Now Xiufen's face is scary even when he sees it. If she marries over and scares the young master of the Huang family, taking back the twenty taels of betrothal gifts is a small matter, but angering the Huang family and implicating his Li family would be miserable!

They are just country people in the village, how dare they offend such a wealthy family?

The Old Li Woman, no matter how much she loves her daughter, doesn't dare to disobey the Old Li Man's order in such a big matter, and can only watch Li Xiufen crying hoarsely in the courtyard.

Li Jinfeng in the West Room looked coldly at everything happening in the courtyard through the window, and a proud and lucky smile finally appeared on her face.

She finally got everything she wanted!

This made her feel that the beating and bullying of these few days were worth it.
