Fortunate Wife

Chapter 130 – The truth draws near (1)

After Li Shu secured the thatch with rope, he spat in the direction of Second Shun’s home. He angrily said, “It’s early in the day, and that rotten woman is already looking for trouble. Her mouth is filthy. She hasn’t changed after being confined in the shrine for the past few days. Older brother Second Shun is too weak. If I don’t beat her to death, it would only be leaving her to cause trouble.”

“Focus on your work.” Li Mo tossed hemp rope over to him, then looked towards Second Shun’s home. Second Shun had already pulled Xing-niang inside, and they couldn’t hear her cursing anymore.

Li Yan used a tool to evenly spread out the thatch. Seeing his oldest brother’s serious expression, he persuaded, “Oldest brother, we can’t interfere in someone else’s business. Besides, you tried persuading older brother Second Shun back then, but he wouldn’t listen. It was his choice to marry a piece of work like her. He has to live with his choices.”

“Oh,” Li Mo lightly grunted. When he looked up, he saw that Li Yan’s complexion was still a bit pale and suddenly realized something. “Hey, why did you follow us up here? Quickly, go back inside to rest. This small amount of work, third brother and I can finish it.”

“Yeah,” Li Shu abruptly smacked his own head. He swiftly walked over and took the tool from Li Yan. “Second brother, go back and rest. Why did you come up onto the roof? It’s too windy here. You just got better. Shoo.”

Seeing how nervous his oldest brother and third brother were, Li Yan chuckled. “When did I become that weak? Besides, it feels uncomfortable to lie in bed for so long. I’ll feel more comfortable doing some work.”

Seeing that Li Yan’s energy level was pretty good, Li Mo said, “Just lay thatch on the side then. If you feel tired, stop to rest.”

“En.” Li Yan knew his own body, so he didn’t try to show off. He listened to his oldest brother’s words and only did light work.

With the three brothers continuing to busily work on the roof, Li Man followed Little Five back to the kitchen to take out the previously purchased seeds. They discussed how to grow these vegetables.

However, although the shopkeeper had wrapped up each different seed type in separate packets for her, she had put all of the seed packets in the cupboard when they came from the market. When she took them out today, she only knew that they were vegetable seeds. She couldn’t recognize the seeds types at all. When she sniffed them, she thought some of them smelled spicy, some of the smelled pungent, and other ones didn’t have any scent. Wonderful, she had no clue what these seeds would grow into. How was she supposed to plant them?

Just as she was opening each packet of seeds with Little Five so they could try to distinguish them, she heard people arguing outside.

Arguing? Li Man hastily put down the seeds and tugged Little Five outside to see what was going on. Li Hua hurried out of the other hut. Their eyes meet, and Li Man asked, “It sounds like your third brother’s voice?”

“It’s second brother,” answered Li Hua as he rushed toward the backyard.

Sure enough, it was very noisy in the backyard. She saw an unfamiliar young man being held back by Li Shu by his waist, but the young man was desperately trying to break free and kept shaking his fist at Li Yan. “Li Yan, you bastard. What did you do to my younger sister for her to cry like that? Tell me, you bastard. I’ve always treated you as my friend. How could you bully her? Don’t you know that’s she already engaged? She’s going to marry the young master of a rich family soon. How could you try to fool around with her? Let me tell you, don’t even think about lusting after a swan, you toad.”

Hearing these words, Li Shu showed Shen Fulai away. “Screw you, you’re the toad.”

Shen Fulai stumbled, stepped into a muddy spot, slipped, and fell on his butt. He immediately started cursing up a storm in anger.
