Chapter 9

His Painstaking Efforts

Aunt Li also knew what the person beside her was thinking and revealed a scheming smile.

“Husband, don’t worry. Your son is filial!”

At this point, she stopped talking.

However, Sr. Li already understood the meaning behind it.

At this moment, Sr. Li no longer hesitated.

He had to get the tiger bone. He didn’t have many years to live, but he still wanted to live healthily and painlessly.

Now that the pain in his body was unbearable, with the tiger bone as a medicine to relieve the pain, he could live like a normal person. How good would that be!

Therefore, his interests won out and Sr. Li agreed.

“Sure, this matter is decided!”

Luo Cheng got the answer he wanted and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

On the other hand, Li Shun stared at his father in disbelief.

Previously, Li Shun didn’t say anything because he felt that this matter was too ridiculous. His father definitely wouldn’t be willing to.

He and his wife were so diligent. His father definitely wouldn’t bear to part with them.

However, reality proved him wrong, making him unable to believe all of this.

“Father, you really agreed?” Li Shun couldn’t believe it and couldn’t help but ask again.

“Think about me too! Your father is in pain all the time. It doesn’t feel good. As long as he has the tiger bone, your father won’t have to suffer from pain anymore. If you’re really filial, marry him. Come back often to visit your parents in the future!” Aunt Li quickly comforted him.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sneered.

As expected, the Li family didn’t intend to let them off.

Not only did they not ask if they were willing, they even agreed without asking if her parents were willing.

At the thought of this, Li Xiaoran walked over and stared at her father. Then, she asked, “Father, how do you feel now? Think about it carefully. How do you feel now? How did I feel when I was forced to marry someone else?!”

With that, Li Xiaoran ignored her parents’ thoughts and looked at her sister, Li Xiaoqing, who was stunned on the spot.

“Xiao Qing, what are you waiting for? Our family has been sold by Grandpa and Grandma. Pack our things and leave!”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran’s angry expression and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh.

“In that case, there’s no time like the present. I’ll come over tomorrow to pick them up! Of course, I’ll also ask the village chief to come over tomorrow to write the marriage contract. At that time, sign it in front of everyone, and then I’ll bring the tiger bone to you!”

Sr. Li had already made up his mind and naturally wouldn’t object. He nodded.

“As you say!”

After Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at the house Li Xiaoran had entered.

“I still have some words to say to my fiancée. I wonder if it’s convenient?”

When Sr. Li heard this, he opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end. He only nodded.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng walked straight into the house where Li Xiaoran was.

Li Xiaoran could hear what was happening outside clearly in the house.

Therefore, when Luo Cheng walked in, Li Xiaoran looked at her sister and said, “Xiao Qing, go out first!”

“No need, let her stay here. That way, others won’t gossip!” Luo Cheng walked in and said, “I have a few words to say to you. I’ll leave after that.”

With that, Luo Cheng looked at the calm Li Xiaoran and couldn’t help but explain.

“You should know that there are some things that I can do better than you. You’re very smart and should know what I mean. The place I live in is very big and has everything. You just have to pack some clothes and go over. You don’t have to bring anything else. Of course, there are still some things that you have to fight for. Even if you can’t get them, you have to seek benefits for yourself! Remember, my wife is not to be bullied!”

With that, Luo Cheng turned around and left.

These words explained why Luo Cheng did this and gave Li Xiaoran a reassurance.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran finally understood why Luo Cheng would do this.

It turned out that he would rather take on infamy than let her be criticized.

According to Li Xiaoran’s previous plan, this matter would eventually force Grandpa and Grandma to split up.

But this way, her reputation would be ruined, and the matter wouldn’t be completely resolved.

Even if they had split up, the Li family could still use blood ties as an excuse to control her parents.

With her father’s filial personality, he would most likely still be ordered around by the Li family.

Therefore, Luo Cheng’s method was a good way to take drastic measures once and for all.

As for the villagers, when they laughed at the Li family’s third branch, most of them would only pity their family.

On the other hand, the other members of the Li family would have a bad reputation and would be criticized by everyone.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran suddenly realized that Luo Cheng was really powerful. He handled everything so well and didn’t forget to come in to comfort her before he left.

With such a person around, she felt very assured!

Li Xiaoqing wasn’t stupid. When she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she understood something.

To be honest, at the thought of leaving the Li family, Li Xiaoqing felt relaxed.

Perhaps their family would have a new beginning!

After Luo Cheng left and the Li family finished watching the drama, the surrounding people gradually dispersed.

Sr. Li, who originally wanted to teach Li Xiaoran a lesson, glanced at his third son and his family. He wanted to say something, but his bones started to hurt again.

Sr. Li had no choice but to ask his wife to help him into the house.

Li Yan didn’t hide the gloating expression on her face. She looked at the Li family’s third branch happily and smiled before entering her own house.

Li Qin and Li Yuan were also led back to their respective houses by their respective mothers.

The courtyard fell silent, leaving Li Shun and Zhao Xiu standing there.

After a while, Li Shun came back to his senses and looked at his wife, Zhao Xiu, who had been standing beside him.

After walking forward, Li Shun held his wife’s hand with his slightly cold hand.

“Come on! Let’s go back to the house too!”

Despite hearing footsteps, Li Xiaoran didn’t turn around and continued to pack her clothes with his sister.

Li Shun came in and saw this scene. He felt very upset and walked towards the wooden bed that the couple usually slept on.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced such a huge blow and was mercilessly abandoned by his biological father as his daughter’s dowry that Li Shun felt very uncomfortable.

So Li Shun took off his shoes, got into bed, and lay down.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything, but she was pondering inside.
