MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 8 ask
Li Hong couldn't tolerate Li Baolu no matter what, if at first he just wanted to save that little bit of tax money, then later it was because Li Baolu had become a thorn in his eyes, a thorn in his heart, and he would be unhappy!
Li Baolu's eyes look too much like his elder brother Li Kang, and when he stares at him, he always has the feeling that Li Kang is staring at him, which is the most unbearable thing for him.
His parents have valued Big Brother more since he was a child, but he believes that he is no weaker than Big Brother in every aspect. He doesn’t have the talent to study medicine, but can’t Big Brother also learn it?
So why does my father always look at him with a "why are you so stupid" look?
And even more after exile, the eldest brother has become the head of half of the family, but his parents never listen to his words, and the eldest brother even speaks to him with the face of teaching the younger generation, how is he inferior to him?
His father and brother and sister-in-law were both killed in the shipwreck. Li Hong was sad at first, but after the sadness, he relaxed for a while.
Everyone in the family who can suppress him is dead. From now on, he can do whatever he wants.
Although he was still bound to Qiongzhou Mansion, he had money in his hand and could do a lot of things, so the first thing he did was to find his sad mother and take over the financial power of the family from her.
Li Hong is ambitious, his grief is suppressed to a minimum, looking at the stupid niece sleeping on the bed, although he doesn't like her, he will raise people even if he leaves a bloodline for his eldest brother.
When he finds someone to marry when he is an adult, even if he has all the brotherhood with his eldest brother, who knows that Li Baolu has become smarter, and his eyes are so bright that he is almost like his eldest brother.
Li Hong hates Li Baolu staring at him with those big eyes. This will always make him feel that his eldest brother did not die, but came back to life through a silly niece.
Originally, no matter how much he hated him, he could only pretend he couldn't see this person, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The newly arrived county magistrate exploited too much. Not only did he have to increase taxes, but even children who turned one year old had to pay half of the tax. The tax was doubled compared to previous years.
No matter how much money my father and eldest brother left behind, they couldn’t afford to spend it like this, and what he had to do required a lot of expenses, and he needed money to make profits everywhere, and he was stretched out.
The combination of various reasons made him make this decision, not to mention that his mother tore his face in front of so many people. Now that they have made it clear to each other, Li Hong naturally no longer hides his purpose. In short, this Baolu cannot be left at home.
Although the money was all on him, he was still anxious, because after his father and brother died, he was the head of the household, and the yamen came down to collect the Xia tax. There was Baolu in the family, but he did not pay her tax. It was he, the head of the household, who was punished. So he had to send Baolu away before the yamen came.
Since he can't kill her, then send her to be a child bride, and it has nothing to do with him whether she lives or dies.
Li Hong looked at his mother with deep eyes, and said, "That's a good family, not a sinner like us, but a good citizen. It's a blessing for Baolu to marry into his family. Mother still think about it. Decide."
Li Hong glanced at Bao Lu and threatened in a flat tone: "Mother can't always look at Bao Lu, she is going to grow up after all."
Wan's face was ugly. The exiled prisoners and their families are all criminals. Unless they encounter a ****, there is only one way to get out of the criminals.
A man joins the army and must be at least an eighth-rank military attache before he can change his status from a criminal to a military officer, but this is a life-threatening struggle, and there may not be one person out of a hundred who succeeds.
A woman married, married a good citizen, and took the husband's record, and the child she gave birth was a good record, and she could leave the place of exile herself.
But this is harder.
The children of a good family, no matter how poor they are, they will never marry a sinful woman. The poor ones prefer to pick young and beautiful exiled officials as concubines. This is even more unbearable. People with a bottom line would rather marry their daughters to People who are also sinners will not let them be concubines.
So the good family Li Hong can find must not be a good family, and he doesn't know why he wants to marry a child bride.
Wan said that she would never give Baolu to him, but how long could she protect Baolu?
As Li Hong threatened, she couldn't stay by Baolu's side all the time, and there were times when she couldn't see.
When Li Hong hugs him and leaves, what can she do?
Could he still kill Li Hong for Baolu?
And she couldn't watch Li Hong trick Niuniu.
Wan watched Baolu think for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Baolu, grandma will take you out tomorrow, you go to bed early today."
Li Baolu noticed that Wan's expression was wrong, and asked anxiously, "Where are we going?"
"Go somewhere far away."
Li Baolu felt even more uneasy.
said it was a long distance away, but in fact it was only more than 20 miles away from the fishing village where they were located. Baolu’s footsteps were slow, and it took Mrs. Wan to hold her for nearly three hours.
They set off before dawn, and when the sun was close to mid-day, they saw a small fishing village.
This is a smaller village than their fishing village. There are only a dozen or so families looking down from the mountainside, and the distance from each other is relatively long. The village is very close to the sea, and it is not too far to go out to the beach.
People in this era didn’t like to build their houses near the sea, because there would be various natural disasters that would threaten people’s lives, but people in this small fishing village didn’t seem to care about that.
Judging from the information she collected, this area is also a gathering place for exiled criminals, so who did the grandmother bring her to see?
It’s not like the Li family still has relatives and friends in the exile, right?
The thought flashed, and Mrs Wan had already carried her down the mountain, with a clear goal towards one of the courtyards.
Li Baolu could only see the high wall made of blue bricks. She recalled the layout of the house she had just seen on the mountainside. Only then did she realize that the main building of the yard was blocked by a few trees. She could only see There is a yard here, and I have not seen the specific layout inside.
Just don't know if it's a coincidence or the owner's design.
Wan put Baolu on the ground and pressed the bag on his chest nervously.
Baolu saw her nervousness, and couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, looking at her with bright eyes.
Wan held her granddaughter's hand, glanced at her, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to knock on the door in front of her.
A vigilant voice sounded immediately behind the door, "Who?"
Wan was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting someone to answer the door so soon, instead he felt a little helpless.
"Grandmother." Baolu shook Wan's hand, and Wan said sternly, "Is it Mrs. Qin, my concubine belongs to Li Bo's family, please open the door."
Almost as soon as Wan's voice fell, the door opened from the inside. Li Baolu looked up and saw the woman standing in the door, and was stunned.
's face was like a silver basin, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. Although he was only wearing a gray cloth, his waist was straight. Li Baolu felt cordial when he saw her, and his precautions dropped to a minimum.
Li Baolu's heart shuddered. She knew about her family's affairs. Because she had a lifetime of memory and she suddenly regained her sanity, she had been careful not to reveal her fault. Li Baolu also had a certain degree of vigilance against her closest grandmother.
But looking at this person, Li Baolu was completely unguarded for a moment.
Li Baolu stared at her with wide eyes, obviously interested in people with such qualities.
He Zipei saw Li Baolu at first sight, a small white ball with round eyes full of curiosity, just this one glance made He Zipei fall in love with this child.
She raised her head and smiled at Mrs Wan: "It turned out to be Mrs. Li, please come in quickly. After five years, are you still strong?"
Inexplicably, Wan's heart was relieved, and a genuine smile appeared on his face, "Fortunately, I don't know how well Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are, last time when I went back home, my boss asked me to make pills for Mrs. Qin, but I never had time. send."
"There are still some pills left by Dr. Li. She is eating a lot better. This time, even if you don't come, we will invite Dr. Li to come over again to see how her body is doing."
Wan said bitterly: "I'm afraid I'll be sorry Madam, I'm in charge," Wan choked for a moment, then forced a smile: "He went out to sea and encountered wind and waves and couldn't come back. Mrs. Qin will have to find another doctor in the future."
He Zipei's expression changed, his mouth opened slightly, and after a while he said in a low voice, "It's mine, isn't it..."
Wan shook his head slightly.
He Zipei looked at the little girl she was holding, pondered for a moment and said, "Although Dr. Li has passed away, he has been kind to my Qin family. If Madam has any difficulties, just tell me, and we will definitely help if we can."
She only met Wan when her sister-in-law gave birth five years ago. Since then, Dr. Li has been treating their family. of?
He Zipei respects Li Bo as a person, as long as he can help her, he will not be stingy.
Wan Shi was really at a loss for words, but she turned her head to look at Bao Lu, she still mustered up her courage and said, "My concubine has something to ask Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin to come here this time," she pulled Bao Lu to her body. Before, he said to He Zipei: "She is my granddaughter, and her parents are among them in this shipwreck. Originally, her parents died, and she also has an uncle who can always grow up."
"My concubine is not afraid of my wife's ridicule, because I have no way to teach my son, and now there is no place for this child at home, so I can only entrust her outside," Wan said, "She is about the same age as the cousin in the house. If you like it, keep her as a child bride, and if the government has made arrangements for the cousin, you can only be a concubine to deliver medicine this time."
He Zipei's eyes widened in astonishment, and after a while, he lowered his head to look at the little girl leaning on Wan's leg.
The little girl was also obviously surprised, and was looking at her grandmother with wide eyes, with tears in her eyes, obviously reluctant.
Looking at those wet eyes, He Zipei couldn't help but soften his heart, and he paused for a refusal, before saying, "This matter is important, I can't make the decision, if Madam is not in a hurry, stay tonight, wait. I'll give you an answer after discussing it with my family."
Wan was overjoyed when she saw that she did not refuse.
This time she came here with only 1/10,000 hope. If this road doesn't work, she can only think of another way.
