Young Aunt's Words (1)

When Li Dahai came over yesterday, the sky was already darkening. It took about two hours to walk from the Poplar Brigade to Qing River Brigade and there was still a blizzard yesterday which made it even more difficult to walk.1

Li Dahai must have walked in the dark when he returned.

But it was not to the extent that he would reach home too late.

However, Li Dahai did not return yesterday night.

The Li family was not too concerned about it and never thought that something would happen to Li Dahai. Nie Jiao, the third daughter-in-law, even said that Li Dahai was persuaded by Gu Yunshuang to stay in the landlord family as a son-in-law.

She even scolded Gu Yunshuang for putting on the attitude of a landlord missy - her mother-in-law was so sick but Gu Yunshuang did not return to serve her and is even enjoying life in her maiden family's house.

The past Nie Jiao behaved like a missy and spoke softly. But after the drastic changes, she was about to become a shrew.

Life in the Li family drew anger.

Everyone in the Poplar Brigade knew that the Li family was full of weirdos and what kind of life that Gu Yunshuang led in the Li family. Now, after they chased Gu Yunshuang out of the house and she had divorced Li Dahai, they have no one to serve them anymore and are actually so shameless to say such things here! Only they can say such things!

Everyone ignored Nie Jiao. After yelling for a while and venting her anger, the matter was put to a temporary stop.

That night, Li Dahai did not return and the people in the Li family slept as normal.

The second day, Li Dahai still had not returned and no one looked for him either.

Eventually, in the afternoon, some passerby saw that Li Dahai fell down a hill and was shouting for help!

The passerby happened to be from the Poplar Brigade and was shocked to see Li Dahai.

When he went over to take a closer look, he realized that Li Dahai hurt his legs and simply could not move them. Looking at his state, he seemed to have crawled for a distance but did not make it far as his legs probably hurt too much.

Furthermore, his entire face was red from the cold and his hands were swollen.

That person was appalled. "Dahai? What are you doing here? When did you fall? Oh god!"

Li Dahai stayed in the snowy field for an entire night and another morning passed. He was exhausted, starving and freezing and was about to faint.

"Save… save me. I have been here… since yesterday night!"

That person's eyes widened.

Yesterday night?

Didn't those people from the Li family say that Li Dahai was spending the night at the Gu family? They even said that he went to enjoy life as the son-in-law of a landlord family.

So it turned out that Li Dahai came back yesterday night but fell down here and did not return home?

This Li family… none of them came to look for him. Seriously…

Thinking of the Li family's circumstance, that person looked at Li Dahai with an expression that Li Dahai could not fathom.

Ultimately, this person carried Li Dahai back to the Li family's house. When the Li family saw that Li Dahai broke his leg, they immediately thought of asking the Gu family for medical fees as it was the Gu family who did not take good care of Li Dahai and caused him to return at night and thus fall on his way back.

After much discussion, the Li family were afraid that the Gu family would not admit it even if they went up to their doorstep. Thus, they decided to go straight to the Qing River Brigade's leader, Wang Mingtao. Afterward, the brothers of the Li family simply carried Li Dahai straight to Wang Mingtao's house.

Li Dahai was pitiful though. He had not eaten a single thing since yesterday and was out in the snowfield for an entire night which almost caused him to freeze to death. When he returned home, he was carried to the Qing River Brigade before he could even take a sip of warm water and no one ever thought of looking for a doctor to treat him.

Many people from the Li family came and in such an open and imposing manner. It was clear that they were ill-intentioned. After the people from the Qing River Brigade learnt of the news, many went to Wang Mingtao's house to see what was happening.

In the end, when they heard what the people of the Li family said, they were all dumbfounded by that family's shamelessness!
