Mother Qi looked at Mrs. Li with no kindness in her eyes. She sneered coldly and turned away. She responded to Mrs. Li and bowed again. She turned to leave and looked at Mrs. Li with a smile. She reminded Mrs. Li: "Grandma, our eldest wife has not been in charge for a long time. I'm afraid she can't handle many things now. Otherwise, such a big thing wouldn't have happened this time. What do you think..."
Old Madam Li glared at Madam Li and waved at Madam Qi: "I know. Go ahead and ask her."
After Madam Qi left, Old Lady Li asked Mrs. Li in a bad tone, "Why did you come to see the Third Lady for no reason? Didn't I tell you that the Third Lady is recuperating and usually doesn't see people?"
Moreover, she came to the third brother's house as soon as she came out of her room. As soon as she arrived, something happened to the third brother's house, and they had to go out to ask for a doctor. When they asked for the doctor, someone around the eldest wife happened to say that the matter of needing funeral supplies was known to the Wei family.
This is strange no matter how you look at it.
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became. Seeing that the first wife was keeping her head down and not saying anything, she slapped Mrs. Li hard, causing her to stagger. She pointed at her and cursed, "You black-hearted thing! If the Wei family comes in to cause trouble today, it will all be your fault!"
She was always scary when she was angry, and she wasn't that particular. She cursed people one after another, leaving no room for anyone to talk back. Even though Mrs. Li was used to her harshness, she was still overwhelmed by the scolding at this moment. Her face turned red all the way to the base of her neck. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Forget it, what is there to say to this old hag
No matter how much you say, it's useless. No one will listen to a word you say, and you will be the one who suffers in the end.
She thought for a moment, then knelt down in front of Old Lady Li in a low voice: "Mother, you know that I am a very timid wife. How dare I... How dare I go against your will? Now that my master is gone, you are the only one I can rely on..."
Old Mrs. Li sneered and raised her hand to smash a cup.
Mrs. Li was splashed with hot tea and looked miserable, but she did not get up: "I... I am really timid..."
Several servants who were watching on were embarrassed and at a loss - which servant would like to see their masters being scolded? Once their masters lost their dignity, they would inevitably seek to make up for it elsewhere.
What bad luck.
Mrs. Li really screamed and began to sob. It seemed that she could no longer bear it. Her voice became sharper: "Mother! Why do you have to be so mean?!"
Old Mrs. Li was stunned, obviously not understanding why her daughter-in-law, who always shrank like a quail, suddenly became angry. However, this stunned moment only lasted for a moment, as she had never been afraid of anyone in her life.
Her son and husband are dead, and she is the head of the family. She has the final say. A person from an outsider actually dares to challenge her and now has learned to go against her. She jumped up suddenly, ran towards Mrs. Li with all her strength, and raised her hand to slap Mrs. Li again.
Mrs. Li screamed even louder this time and couldn't help crying: "You are really going to beat me to death! How can I live like this? You want me to die, don't you? If you want me to die, just say it directly. Why do you always have to be so harsh and bully me?! No matter what I have done wrong, I have been in mourning for your father-in-law for three years, gave birth to children for your son, and paid respects to you every morning and evening... " She covered her face and burst into tears without any regard for her decency, and was about to bang her head against the wall again.
The little girl next to him was stunned and had no idea how to react.
Old Madam Li was furious. She couldn't believe that her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been weak and silent, dared to disobey her like this. She pointed at her with a trembling finger and cursed: "If you want to die, then die sooner! You are a loser and a jinx. Since I married you, nothing good has happened to our family... You are a troublemaker! Just die!"
Mrs. Li let out a roar and rushed towards the copper stove next to her without hesitation. For a moment, the room was filled with screams.
The little girl was so frightened that she froze. When she saw the blood gushing out of the eldest wife's forehead, she immediately burst into tears: "Someone's dead! Someone's dead! Our wife is going to die!"
When she shouted like this, even the experienced maids below could not help but be stunned for a moment, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
Old Mrs. Li did not expect that Mrs. Li would be so tough and actually bang her head to commit suicide. She was stunned for a moment.
If she really died, wouldn't people outside spread her as a wicked mother-in-law? Besides, the reputation of her grandchildren... She was frightened and hurriedly ordered people: "Hurry, help him up!"
The little girl was already running out in a panic: "Help! Help! Our wife is dying! Our wife is dying!"
The maids outside were all stunned. They didn't know which lady she was talking about, and rushed inside in confusion.
The little girl cried and tried to pry the hands of the women who were blocking the door: "Quick! Mothers, go get a doctor. Our wife is dying..."
Mrs. Li fell limply to the ground, her eyes open as she looked coldly and mockingly at Old Mrs. Li who was at a loss as to how to respond.
She was already tired of this life worse than death. Old Mrs. Li was mean and heartless, and never cared about feelings. There was no point in living like this.
In addition, Li San is very ambitious and he did not know how to restrain himself after offending the Wei family. Even if she could endure it for a lifetime, she probably would not be able to enjoy the blessings of the Li family, but she would have to suffer if anything happened to the Li family.
In that case, we might as well make a big deal out of this matter, until it gets out of control.
With the example of Wei Yuyou, if people tell others about it, they will only say that the old lady of the Li family is indeed the most mean-spirited person. All the daughters-in-law were so mean to her that they could not stay in the Li family. In addition, her status as a widow is special, and the old lady Li even forced widows who were loyal to their husbands to commit suicide. No one will believe what the Li family says anymore.
This would invisibly help the Wei family a lot. The Wei family are all smart people. They informed them themselves and paved the way for them, paving the way for them. They would definitely know her contribution by then, and would have to treat her well. In this way, maybe she could break free from the wolf's den of the Li family, and try to find a way to survive for the children, so that the children would not have to follow such elders and be rotten from the root.
When the little girl shouted like this, the Wei family members outside were silent for a moment, and then someone shouted loudly: "They forced our aunt to death!" (To be continued)
