The Strong Wife from Peasant Family Chapter 20

When everyone had left, Li Qingling washed off the blood on the courtyard with water while she supported Mrs. Zhao and entered the room.

"Mom, are you alright?" Mrs. Zhao's face was deathly pale, and she looked just as worried.

A reputation that could not be eaten, what was he doing here? She didn't care about the nothingness.

Looking at the calm face of Liu Zhimo, Li Qingling asked him curiously, why isn't he afraid?

Seeing his fiancee so valiant, did he not feel that his future was in danger?

Liu Zhimo looked at her speechlessly, before asking her, "Why should I be afraid?"

"Ugh …"

"Will you do this to me?" Liu Zhimo asked again.

Li Qingling shook his head. Liu Zhimo did not do anything wrong, why would she treat him like that?

"Then that's it."

Li Qingling leaned on the door, and after a moment, he asked, "What do you think of my method of handling this?"

Liu Zhimo nodded his head in praise, "You should have handled it well, be strong when it's time to be tough, and be gentle when it's time." Pausing for a moment, he continued: "Letting the village chief punish Lai Zili, this is a very good decision. If you insist on sending Lai Zili to the yamen, it will make the villagers feel that you are too heartless. In the future, you will alienate your family, and this will only make up for your losses."

He was still thinking that if Li Qingling insisted on sending Lai Zili to the yamen, he would help to persuade her to give up that idea.

Unexpectedly, she thought it through and decided not to bother with him.

Li Qingling laughed, "Mn, I also thought of this point, that's why I let Lai Zili go so easily." If Lai Zili wanted to take revenge on her doing this, it would mean that he was returning the favor.

At that point, even if he didn't say anything, the villagers would never forgive him.

"Then I'll leave first. Qirin Stone is still at home." Liu Zhimo walked towards the door, "Lock the windows." He walked out the door and turned his head to give another warning.

"Hmm …" Li Qingling walked to the entrance of the courtyard and watched as Liu Zhimo entered his house. Then, she closed the door and pulled Li Qingfeng who was behind her into the house.

The next day, Li Qingling knew Lai Zili's punishment. After the village chief told him to recuperate from his injuries, he would kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, even if he couldn't kneel enough, he couldn't come out. If he caught someone who stole from him, he would be expelled from the village and he would never be able to return.

This kind of punishment was heavy enough for Lai Zili. He hoped that this time, he would be able to experience a lesson and turn over a new leaf.

Although the Huang family felt heartache for their son, they didn't dare to say anything. They could only tearfully apply medicine to their son's wounds.

Furthermore, he had to listen to the arrangements of the village chief to personally deliver the arrows to Li Qingling's house and also bring a basket of eggs along the way.

Li Qingling did not make things difficult for the Huang Clan and calmly accepted her apology. However, she did not look very tall.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much money right now, so she couldn't rebuild the house. She could only make a lot of sharp bamboo arrows and insert them into the corner.

These bamboo arrows were very powerful when it came to killing prey, not to mention humans. Anyone who wasn't afraid of death could jump on their own.

However, for the sake of her family's safety, she had brought back a lot of rocks from the outside and placed them in a circle to block the sharp bamboo arrows.

Ever since she had been constantly moving stones around the village, the villagers had curiously asked her why she was moving stones. She took this opportunity to tell the villagers that she had set up a lot of bamboo arrows in the courtyard, telling them to tell their children not to crawl around her yard wall. If they were hurt, then she was not to be blamed.

When the villagers heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately rushed home, repeatedly warning their children to not be so naughty as to crawl into the Li family's courtyard, because people would die.

They could play anywhere they wanted, but not in the Li family. If he was shot like Lai Zili, they would ignore him and let him fend for himself.

When they thought about Lai Zili's miserable state, and how he was even threatened by his parents, the children in the village became obedient and did not dare to challenge the Li family anymore.

In this way, the villagers could be considered to have witnessed Li Qingling's character. Even the village women would not dare to bite off Mrs. Zhao's tongue.

It was just that sometimes he would secretly gossip about Li Qingling being too fierce.

These idle chatter did not bother her at all. She did not mind Li Qingling at all.

If she had the time, she would definitely help Mrs. Zhao beat some strings, or go to the Mo family to learn some words from him.

In the modern world, she was a top student, but here, she was illiterate. She did not know many of the traditional characters, so she had to learn them again.

It was just that she was an adult after all, and could learn at a relatively fast speed. She learnt it often enough, and this had stimulated Li Qingfeng and Liu Zhiyan to such an extent that she could not study any further, and was afraid that she would lose face if she left Li Qingling behind.

Liu Zhimo also sighed frequently. If Li Qingling was a man, his future would be immeasurable.

Hearing this, Li Qingling could only rub his nose guiltily and laugh dumbly. She did not dare to say that her soul was that of an adult.

"Zhi Moge, let's go to Matsuyama in two days!" Li Qingling flung his hand, looked at the big words that she had written, and frowned. She turned his head to look at what Liu Zhimo had written, and felt that her writing was as if it had been written by a dog, and looked extremely ugly.

This calligraphy brush, it was really too difficult to write, she missed the modern calligraphy brush, how easy to write!

Liu Zhimo put down his brush and nodded. He had paid back the money his family owed, and now that his family was so poor, he had no choice but to go hunting! He still wanted to earn more money and send the ink stone to school. He saw that Li Qingling had the same intention, wanted to send Li Qingfeng there as well.

"Did you tell my aunt?" He still remembered that his aunt was against it. If his parents were still here, they wouldn't have allowed him to go hunting. After all, hunting was very dangerous, so as his parents, they would definitely be worried.

Li Qingling sighed lightly and shook his head, "I haven't told her, but after that last time, I believe she will not object to it." Actually, she was still a little unsure, afraid that Mrs. Zhao would be stubborn and refuse to let her go.

If she had to persuade Mrs. Zhao every time she went there, she would die of exhaustion.

Glancing at Li Qingling, Liu Zhimo saw that she was unsure of him. He pursed his lips into a smile, then patted her head, telling her not to worry.

Only this time, he had to be prepared and not fall sick again. Thinking of what happened the last time he got hot, his face reddened.

Fortunately, Li Qingling read his words so he did not notice his expression. Otherwise, she would tease him again.

In front of him, her nature had been exposed, and she was extremely mischievous.

"Then thanks!" Li Qingling calmed down a little. With Liu Zhimo's help, her mother would probably not object.

In her mother's heart, Liu Zhimo was a steady representative. One sentence from him was more effective than ten from her.

Liu Zhimo cleared his throat, and said something rude. After the steam on his face had dissipated, he bent down to teach Li Qingling.

She was intelligent, but this calligraphy piece, he really was …

Li Qingfeng who was seriously writing at the side looked at Liu Zhiyan, and winking at him, they were very happy to see their big brother and sister together.

Only, Liu Zhiyan cried in silence for Li Qingling. Although she looked a little intrepid, but for the old cunning fox like brother, she was still not enough to look down on him. )

In the evening, after Li Qingling finished eating, she mentioned to Mrs. Zhao that she would be making a trip to Matsuyama in two days.

Mrs. Zhao was startled, but after a moment, she nodded her head helplessly. After a few times, she knew her daughter's temper, no matter how much she said, she could not stop her, so she let her go!

If he was always angry with his daughter over this matter, it would only make her sad, so why was there a need!

Seeing Mrs. Zhao nod her head, Li Qingling's worries were finally relieved. She had thought that she would have to persuade him otherwise, fortunately not needed.

"You!" Mrs. Zhao pointed to her forehead helplessly, "Mother is opening her eyes, I won't stop you, I just need to remember, Mother is waiting for you at home, you must return safely, do you understand?" She was afraid that her daughter would be greedy and hunt for large prey without caring about her safety. For this reason, she would have to remind her daughter before she could relax.

With reddened eyes, Li Qingling embraced Mrs. Zhao's arm, leaned his head on her shoulder and nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely return safely."

For this family, she couldn't afford to let anything happen to her! If something happened to her, she wouldn't be able to live in this house anymore. She would always remember this and wouldn't dare to forget it.

Sighing, Mrs. Zhao rubbed Li Qingling's head, in a blink of an eye, his daughter had grown up, and was able to support her family.

If it wasn't for her being a useless mother, her daughter wouldn't have to bear so much of the burden at such a young age. She had let down her daughter.
