Chapter 192 - Don't be afraid (3)
"Fine, fine, I won't bring it up . The gods above are watching . They can see who is right and who is wrong . " Li Xiangyu sniffled and slowly said, "This time, I brought Hehua over here to suggest marriage between our two families . I'm truly thinking for you and your brothers’ benefit . What's good about the Goddess's Ravine? Other than these two broken-down huts and the kitchen, what's keeping your and your brothers from leaving here? Actually, even if its marrying into her family, it wouldn't be a lost for you -"
Advertisement"Big aunt, let's drop this subject . We already have a wife . " Li Yan felt a bit annoyed listening to her long-winded talking .
Li Xiangyu coldly looked at him in admonishment . "I know that you have very high standard for beauty and you dislike Hehua because she's not pretty . But, all women will grow old one day . Just because the woman in that other hut looks like a flower right now, it doesn't mean she'll stay that way . Her beauty won't even last two years if she's living in the Goddess's Ravine . After that, she won't look good anymore either . When that time comes, will you and your brothers still stay by her side for a lifetime? In addition, Hehua's maternal uncle works for local landlord . It would only take one word from him and you or Li Shu can also work for that landlord . The others can leave this mountain area and figure out a way to make a living outside . Wouldn't this be better than staying here to hunt and do short-term work?"
"Yeah!" Hehua raised her head and looked at the men with an aggrieved gaze . "As long as I ask my uncle, maybe both Li Yan and Li Shu can go work with him . When you're working for a wealthy family, you don't have to work in windy or rainy weather . You can earn a monthly salary too . There are so many people that would beg to get that position, but they can't get it . "
"Then, go look for those people that are begging for it . " Li Shu couldn't stand looking at Hehua . She always seemed as if she was looking down on them . She merely lived in town, and her family owned a grocery store that sold various goods .
Li Xiangyu glanced at Hehua . "Hehua, if you don't know how to speak, then keep quiet . " Honestly, this girl couldn't conceal her true feelings . She looked down on other people, which in turn made other people dislike her . But, her family background really was very good . She felt that with her nephews' abilities, they wouldn't be suppressed by Hehua's family members even if they married into her family instead of the other way around . Perhaps, they might be able to borrow her family's connections, and live a good life themselves .
"Big aunt, let's not talk about this any further," Li Mo finally voiced his decision and put an end to Li Xiangyu's delusions . "My brothers and I have working hands and feet . We don't need to depend on someone else . Hehua, you're a good girl . You'll definitely find someone that will treat you well in the future . Don't waste your time on us . "
"I -"
"Yeah, forget about us . We already have a wife . If you keep acting this way and anger my wife, I'll beat you," As Li Shu said the final part, he raised his fist towards Hehua .
Hehua felt hopeless after seeing that gesture . She whined and flopped down on the bed to continue crying .
Li Xiangyu swept her gaze over the brothers and saw their resolute expressions, even if she tried to take advantage of an opening, she wouldn't be able to succeed . She couldn't help sighing heavily . "Oh, you guys, what's so good about that woman? She just has slightly better looks . Sure enough, sons take after their fathers . You guys act as if you've never seen a woman before . Fine, I won't bother myself with this any further . You guys can just live your lives with that woman . "
Li Yan seized the opportunity to jokingly say, "Thank you big aunt for your support . "
Li Xiangyu's face turn red and puffed up . Even if she wanted to take back her words, she couldn't . She could only icily sneer . She dropped the subject and really gave up on the idea .
