117 Ridiculous Story

When Li Qiuxiang heard that Li Xiaoran’s surname was also Li, she revealed a surprised expression.

“In that case, we’re really fated!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and brought over the hot water from the kettle before pouring it into the wooden basin.

Li Qiuxiang took out her handkerchief and put it into the water, then twisted it. Then, she wiped her face.

While accompanying her, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but ask.

“What happened to make you lose your mind?”

Li Qiuxiang smiled bitterly when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“Actually, the person I wanted to die with was my husband!”

Li Xiaoran was shocked.

“Why?”

Li Qiuxiang smiled bitterly, then wrung out the handkerchief in her hand. As she wiped her hands, she began to complain.

“My father was a scholar in the village. Because he saw that my husband, He Lun, was studious and ambitious, he decided to marry me to him. He Lun’s family isn’t rich. He has three sisters, an older brother, and a younger brother. Other than He Lun, his younger brother is also in school. We aould tell that the He family wasn’t doing well and were a little poor.”

It turned out that Mr. Li felt sorry for his daughter and son-in-law, He Lun, so he went to the He family to discuss and let the couple live in the Li family’s house.

The Li family provided He Lun’s tuition and daily meals, but Mr. Li also had a request. He hoped that He Lun and his daughter could take care of them in the future.

As soon as the He family heard that there was such a good thing, they agreed happily.

Just like that, He Lun and Li Qiuxiang started living in the Li family.

Master Li thought that He Lun would take care of them in the future, so he spent a lot of effort teaching He Lun.

With such a powerful father-in-law, He Lun excelled.

After He Lun passed the county examination, he went to the county school in town to study.

He Lun eventually went to the county to study.

Without anyone supervising him, He Lun, who was studying in the county school and preparing for the examination, had people praising him all the time.

He always acted pretentious. He was always either attending tea parties or poetry meetings.

He socialized and made friends everywhere, neglecting his studies.

When Mr. Li realized that He Lun had gone astray, he wanted to keep a close eye on him. He thought that if he quickly picked up on his studies and continued to study hard, there was still some hope.

However, He Lun, who had already become unruly, was unwilling to be forced to study by his father-in-law. He even resented his father-in-law and felt that his father-in-law, Master Li, was the obstacle on his path to befriending the rich and powerful.

Just like that, one wanted to pull his son-in-law back on the right track, and the other’s resentment grew.

Not long ago, He Lun had brought a few of his classmates back. He had said something to Mr. Li that had made him so angry that he’d vomited blood and fainted.

What was even more disappointing was that after He Lun saw that his father-in-law was so angry that he vomited blood, he ran away with his classmates, not caring about his father-in-law’s life at all.

It was only when a student in the school saw that the teacher who was supposed to be teaching didn’t go that he went to his house, and only then did he find Mr. Li lying in a pool of blood.

The students were so frightened that they ran out and shouted. They found many people to send Mr. Li to the medical center.

“By the time my mother and I received the news, my father was already at the medical center in town. After the doctor took a look, he said that my father was too angry that his blood pressure rose. After he fainted, he bumped into something, causing blood to accumulate in his head. He was temporarily saved, but we don’t know when he will wake up!” Li Qiuxiang said with red eyes.

“After that bastard He Lun found out that my father was unconscious, he actually sneaked home while my mother and I went to the medical center to take care of my father. He broke the door lock and stole all the money my father and mother had accumulated! I was so angry that I wanted to settle scores with He Lun! In the end, do you know what he did?” At this point, Li Qiuxiang took a deep breath.

“What did he do?” Li Xiaoran had a bad feeling.

“He was actually with an official’s daughter. The two of them were walking together while talking and laughing. Seeing that I was there, He Lun actually didn’t panic at all. He took out a divorce letter. He wanted to divorce me on the basis that I had no children and was unfilial to my parents! What was even more hateful was that the official’s daughter actually called a servant to beat me up. She said that I shouldn’t pester her man from now on, or else she would teach me a lesson!” At this point, Li Qiuxiang leaned against the wall weakly. Her eyes closed and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran sneered.

As expected, such a melodramatic thing wasn’t only in TV scripts, but also in reality.

No wonder Li Qiuxiang wanted to find He Lun and fight him to the death. There was actually this sort of back story.

“What is your family’s situation now?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.

“My father is in a coma, and my mother cries all day. We don’t have any money left at home. I have to think of a way to earn money. At least, I can’t let this family be destroyed!” Li Qiuxiang thought it through.

“I heard that there are scholars in town who can copy books to earn money. I happened to learn good calligraphy from my father. I think it’s possible to copy books to earn money!” Li Qiuxiang said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she didn’t know how to comfort Li Qiuxiang.

There had never been any true empathy in this world.

Only those who had experienced those things knew how bitter and painful they were.

Perhaps it was because she and Li Xiaoran had vented her emotions, but Li Qiuxiang felt much better.

“Thank you! When I become stronger in the future, I’ll repay you for saving my life! I’ve been out for a while. I have to go home quickly. Otherwise, my mother will be worried if she doesn’t see me!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and stood up to send Li Qiuxiang out.

Looking at Li Qiuxiang’s departing figure, Li Xiaoran felt a little suffocated.

“It seems that you already know what happened to that woman!” Luo Cheng walked out of the study and said when he saw that Li Xiaoran was in a bad mood.

“That’s right. I really didn’t expect the melodramatic stories I heard in the past to appear in reality one after another! First, there was my family, then there was Qin Meizhen, and now there’s Qiuxiang! Reality is always more melodramatic than novels!” Li Xiaoran sighed.

“People who live in this world will more or less have many strange and melodramatic situations! It’s not easy for anyone!” Luo Cheng said when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
