Chapter 1643 - 1638: Li Juhua’s Final Plea

Old Mrs. Yu stumbled into the main hall and saw Yu Si Niang and Mrs. Zhang holding Da Bao and Er Bao in their arms.

At this moment, both children had stopped crying.

The little ones obediently lay in Yu Si Niang and Mrs. Zhang’s arms, their eyes wide open, curiously observing everything around them.

Especially this grandmother who suddenly barged in.

Looking at her well-behaved and sensible grandchildren, Old Mrs. Yu started to sob, "Da Bao, Er Bao, Grandma is sorry, Grandma is sorry to you both..."

Already at an advanced age, Old Mrs. Yu’s emotions swinging drastically like this caused her to feel physically overwhelmed after only crying a few times.

Her whole body tilted forward and she almost fell!

If Mu Shuangshuang, who was beside her, hadn’t quickly caught her in time, Old Mrs. Yu might have fallen.

"Mother, Aunt, Grandma is still blaming herself for Da Bao and Er Bao’s situation, please help comfort her a bit!" Mu Shuangshuang said to Yu Si Niang and Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Si Niang and Mrs. Zhang both looked at Grandma Xia with concern.

"Mother, the situation wasn’t caused by you, it’s Li Juhua’s fault, she’s the one who doesn’t know right from wrong, she’s the one who’s lost her humanity! Please stop blaming yourself!" Yu Si Niang said.

"Mother, I’ll take care of Da Bao and Er Bao from now on! As for the tea picking, let Lao Liu and the eldest handle it more. This way, you won’t have to worry about Da Bao and Er Bao!" Mrs. Zhang took on the responsibility of nursing the children.

Among all the daughters-in-law in this family, the most virtuous wasn’t Feng Xiaohua, and certainly not Li Juhua.

It was Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law!

Unlike Mrs. Jin of the Old Mu Family’s first house, Mrs. Zhang was genuinely kind, having run the entire household over the years without a word of complaint.

If things had been entrusted to Mrs. Zhang earlier, Li Juhua wouldn’t have caused such mischief.

Seeing her reasonable daughter and eldest daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Yu increasingly felt she had made a terrible mistake.

"You don’t need to comfort me anymore, it’s my fault as an old woman, I should take responsibility! Once Lao Liu’s wife finishes her confinement, I’ll go and apologize to her!"

Old Mrs. Yu was resolute, no matter what anyone said, she wouldn’t listen.

Yu Si Niang and Mrs. Zhang sighed but could only let her be.

"I wonder how Sixth Son managed to send that woman back!" Old Mrs. Yu asked worriedly.

"It’s okay! Grandma, you must trust my Sixth Uncle’s abilities!"

Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Yu nodded, saying she wasn’t worried, but deep down she was anxious.

She feared that Li Juhua might return to harm her family again or come back to trouble Lao Liu and Feng Xiaohua.

...

...

Yu Liulang used a hemp rope to bind Li Juhua and took her to Li Family Village, delivering her to her parents’ home.

Li Juhua had rarely returned home since her marriage, not even for holidays or festivals.

This time she was back, but tied up.

So, when she appeared, almost everyone in the village came to watch.

The crowd started pointing at Li Juhua!

"Isn’t she the fifth daughter from the Li family who got married out? Why is she tied up and back?"

"Do we even need to guess? She must have done something bad!"

"Bad things? Could she have violated the Seven Grounds for Divorce and been sent away?"

Although the village was remote, the people knew many things.

Generally, a decent person wouldn’t be brought back tied up without reason.

Only after doing something wrong, something that shames the family, would they be treated so unfairly!

At Old Li’s house—

Yu Liulang explained Li Juhua’s bossy behavior and actions to her parents, Old Li and Old Mrs. Li—

"Initially, my second brother was set to divorce her! But she pleaded repeatedly, saying her brothers and sisters-in-law couldn’t tolerate her!

My mother then kept her, hoping she would reform and start anew... but who knew, her behavior only grew worse.

Now, she’s even cruel enough to target the children, if I hadn’t found out, my son Da Bao and my daughter Er Bao would have suffered under this woman’s hands!" Yu Liulang said.

Yu Liulang recounted what Li Juhua had said before; it immediately caused displeasure among Li family brothers and sisters-in-law nearby.

The Li family had only two sons, the rest were daughters.

Li Juhua was the youngest daughter, the fifth one.

Because she had a son early on, none of Li family’s parental affection was given to the daughters at home, let alone the youngest Li Juhua.

Li Juhua planned her own marriage and childbirth!

If she wasn’t somewhat malicious, she truly would be a formidable person!

"Lao Liu, you can trust us to take care of this troublesome girl, we’ll surely look after her well!"

Li family’s eldest son said directly in front of Yu Liulang.

Next to him, Li Juhua screamed in terror, while pleading with pitiful eyes, looking at Yu Liulang.

"Mmm mmm mmm... mmm mmm..."

——Lao Liu, save me!

"Mmm mmm mmm... mmm mmm..."

——I know I was wrong, don’t leave me with the Li family, please no...

Before she got married, Li Juhua was beaten by her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Now, being abandoned by her husband’s family, surely she’ll be even less respected by her brothers and sisters-in-law, and those old abusive ways might be used on her again.

Right now, the only person who could save Li Juhua was Yu Liulang.

But since Yu Liulang was the one who brought her here, him rescuing Li Juhua was wishful thinking!

Ignoring Li Juhua’s plea, Yu Liulang took out two hundred big coins he had prepared, placing them on the table in front of him.

He said, "I don’t have much to say, these two hundred big coins are a token of appreciation for the brothers and sisters-in-law’s hard work. From now on, please help me keep an eye on Li Juhua!

Rest assured, this money is just part of it, I’ll come once a year. If Li Juhua hasn’t caused any trouble at Old Yu’s by the time I come, I’ll bring more money! Until she gives up on returning to Old Yu’s!"

Yu Liulang’s words made the people at Old Yu’s glance brightly.

Especially Yu family’s eldest son, who was a lazy glutton as well.

Having been looking for money to spend, now with these two hundred coins delivered to his door, how could he refuse?

"Lao Liu, you can fully trust Big Brother! Although we are not blood brothers, to your Big Brother, you are just like a true brother!" Li Juhua’s eldest brother said, pounding his chest as a guarantee!

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Yu Liulang politely nodded.

He then exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Li family members.

Finally, amidst Mrs. Li’s tearful gaze, he left Old Li’s main hall and walked towards the courtyard outside.

"Mmm mmm..." Mrs. Li shouted towards the direction where Yu Liulang was departing.

Li family’s eldest son sharply pulled out the cloth stuffed in Li Juhua’s mouth.

Regaining freedom, the first thing Li Juhua did was shout loudly.

"Sixth Son... Sixth Son!"

"Sixth Brother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare again, let me go back, let me go back to serve Mother, serve the talented one, I beg you..."

After shouting a few lines, Li Juhua’s hair was yanked by the eldest house of the Li family!
