Chapter 281 The Uncle with a Dog's Head and a Pig's Face
Having said that, without further ado, he raised the carrying pole and struck Li Qiulan.
"Miss Lin, please have mercy..." At this moment, a man's soft shout came from the courtyard gate.
Lin Chang'er paused, the carrying pole slammed to the ground with a thud, she turned around, one hand on the carrying pole, the other on her hip, looking at Uncle Li who had arrived late.
She was even angrier. "Oh, you've finally arrived!"
"I was even thinking about whether I should time it right around dinner time."
Uncle Li choked, then looked up at his sister's messy yard.
The unconscious nephew's wife, the distraught great-nephew, the nephew groaning on the ground like a rag doll, and the girl bound like a cicada pupa.
Uncle Li rubbed his forehead. This chaos was unbearable; how could anyone live like this?
He felt that Lin Chang'er was being too meddlesome, so he said, "Miss Lin, this was originally my sister's family matter. Now that I'm here, I won't trouble you anymore."
After he finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Aunt Li and Li Mian's wife both looked at Uncle Li with strong disapproval.
The brothers in the coastal defense team also thought that Uncle Li was talking nonsense.
Gu Erlang was even more disapproving, "Uncle, what are you saying? Do you think we've come all this way to cause trouble?"
Lin Chang'er was so angry she laughed. She was laughing so hard she was about to get rich. Now that things had come to this, she wanted to serve them tea and cover their mouths.
The types of people she hates most in her life are: human traffickers, abusive men, gossipy women, and others she can't think of right now, she'll add more if she encounters them.
Li Qiulan and Li Da are a gossipy woman who spreads rumors that her daughter-in-law is cheating on her husband and instigates their son to beat his wife, and a domestic abuser.
This was not originally her business, but she just happened to be involved.
There's this guy with a dog-faced, pig-like face who wants to seek justice for the domestic abuser? Screw him.
She's determined to take charge today.
Lin Chang'er clicked her tongue and twitched her lips. "If there's injustice, someone will take care of it; if the road is uneven, someone will smooth it over."
"Uncle Li is educated, after all. If he gets old and senile, he might as well step down early and let the next generation take over."
"Second brother, take two brothers to the academy now and bring Li Xun back to deal with this matter."
He took two steps sideways, leaning on a carrying pole, and said, "Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world. If you can't even handle things at home, what's the point of taking the imperial examinations?"
"By the way, help him ask for leave. He can return to the academy whenever things are peaceful at home. Just say that Lord Wu said so."
"Take this jade pendant with you, so you won't have to say anything more." She reached into her bosom and pulled out a jade pendant engraved with the character "Wu." Wu Qingfeng had given it to her before, saying that in case of emergency and he wasn't around, she could contact the Wu family in the capital for help.
Gu Erlang reached out to take it.
"Wait..." At that moment, the woman's voice rang out from outside the door again.
Lin Chang'er paused in her action of giving the jade pendant, and when she looked up again, she saw a familiar face enter—it was Aunt Li.
Two men and two women followed behind her; they were presumably her eldest and second sons, a married couple.
Aunt Li came forward with a forced smile, and as she passed by Uncle Li, she glared at him fiercely, saying, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak. If you ruin Xun'er's future, then we'll just part ways."
Two days ago, she went to the city to visit Xun'er. Xun'er secretly told her that this aunt not only helped him financially.
The county government is currently busy and lacks clerks, so this man introduced Xun'er to Lord Wu to help out at the county government.
Although it was supposed to be a job, it was still the county government office, and not just anyone could go there. What they saw and heard would be helpful for their future search for their son.
Perhaps Xun'er had already lost hope in this father, so she specifically instructed herself not to tell this old geezer about these private dealings.
So that he won't be so foolish as to mistakenly believe that this auntie had broken ties with them last time and was embarrassed to only help them find their son in private, and then become smug about it.
Seeing her beaming smile, which seemed much more genuine than last time, Lin Chang'er thought to herself that her aunt must have found out about her helping Li Xun.
My aunt is a kind-hearted person who doesn't mind her own business and doesn't get involved in other people's affairs. But anyone who can help Li Xun is a living Buddha in her family. If anyone hinders Li Xun's future, she will fight them to the death. That's why she's giving her a nice look right now.
You can't hit a smiling face, so Lin Chang'er returned the smile. "Oh, Auntie is here. These must be Li Xun's eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, right? Auntie is so lucky. Both of your brothers are handsome and capable."
Who doesn't like to hear others praise their own family? Aunt Li was overjoyed and extremely pleased. She smiled and stepped forward to hold her hand, "Don't belittle me. It's more important to deal with the current matter first."
"Your eldest uncle is clumsy and doesn't know how to speak properly, just ignore him and don't listen to him."
"It's not that I'm flattering you, Aunt. You're literate and have good judgment. You handled the matter of Third Aunt severing ties very well last time. Since you're here today, I'll trouble you again to help Aunt with this matter as well."
She's not saying this outright, but her sister's family really doesn't give people peace of mind.
It's annoying how they keep trying to take advantage of people every now and then; one minute they almost caused a death, and the next minute they almost caused another.
She doesn't think about her family at all. If this continues, she'll eventually get seriously injured from anger.
"Damn it!" Uncle Li protested in dissatisfaction.
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at him, finding the old man increasingly annoying. She gave her eldest and second eldest sons a wink, saying, "I told you not to drink at midday, but you wouldn't listen. Are you drunk?"
"Eldest brother, second brother, hurry up and help your father back to rest."
Li Xun's eldest brother is named Li Cheng, and his second brother is named Li Cun. Upon hearing their mother's instructions, the two brothers immediately stepped forward and supported their elderly father on either side.
"Who drank alcohol? I didn't even drink water at noon. Don't make false accusations. You two unfilial sons..." Uncle Li was completely dumbfounded.
He was in charge this morning, so how come he was sidelined after just one lunch?
Yes, when Gu Erlang went to find him, his family was having lunch!
He had only intended to have a couple of drinks, but Gu Erlang hurriedly pulled him out, saying that someone was about to die, without giving him any time at all.
How could his wife spread such rumors about him in front of outsiders?
Uncle Li protested, "Su Yuan, this is disrespecting your husband! If you dare to insist on going your own way and let these two unfilial sons drag me away, I'll... I'll..."
Before Uncle Li could finish speaking, Li Chengxian said quietly, "Father, just accept your fate! Third Brother is now entirely thanks to this aunt; she's our family's benefactor!"
Li Cun chimed in, "Mother said that whether our family can change its status depends entirely on Third Brother. No one can cause him any trouble, not even you. Otherwise, you'll be kicked out with nothing..."
