On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 42 You unfilial son, I will beat you to death today!

Li Shiyue was not surprised at all that her scumbag father came to ask her grandmother for money again.

She was even a little surprised. Why did her scumbag father come to ask for money now?

Father Li's image at this moment was completely different from that of a few days ago. The image of a modest gentleman and scholar that Father Li had maintained before no longer existed since the night when the people of Lijia Village fled the city.

Not only was Mr. Li's hair and appearance disheveled, but when Li Shiyue walked closer to take a look, he saw that the whites of Mr. Li's eyes were bloodshot, and the redness was really abnormal.

And when Li Shiyue listened to Li's father's hoarse voice, she had to think more.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Father Li felt a burning pain in his throat. No matter how much water he drank, it could not relieve the sticky feeling in his throat.

Father Li shouted hoarsely at Grandmother Li with a flushed face, "Give it to me!
give me!

I know my mother has gold in her hands!

I am the eldest son in the family. That was left to me by my father. It is mine!

Mother, give it back to me!"

Grandmother Li has been in a bad mood these days. After all, Li Shiyue didn't give her any face at all in public. As a grandmother, she was humiliated by her granddaughter.

How could Grandmother Li swallow this?
But the reality slapped them in the face. Li Shiyue was indeed useful on the journey to escape famine, and the Li family really had to rely on her.

Grandmother Li had no choice but to swallow her anger.

Therefore, when Mr. Li came shamelessly to ask for money, and said that it was the money left to him by Mr. Li's grandfather, how could Mrs. Li give it to him?

"No!
Where's the money?
When your father died, he left behind some silver. When you and Chunniang divorced, your share was divided among them. Where was the silver left?"

Grandmother Li stuck her neck out and refused to acknowledge that there was such money. Father Li was furious. As soon as he saw Grandmother Li's expression, he knew that Grandmother Li was determined not to give him the money.

At this point, Father Li couldn't care less. He suddenly stepped forward, pushed Grandmother Li away, and tried to search the donkey cart without caring about anything else.

Li Shiyue was watching from the side. She had no intention of intervening. After all, how could she, as a granddaughter and a daughter, intervene in the dispute between Grandmother Li and Father Li?

But now Father Li rushed towards his own grain bag like a madman, could Li Shiyue just ignore it?

Without even using a hatchet, Li Shiyue raised his leg and kicked Li's father in the lower back. How could Li's father react to this kick?
With two "bangs", Father Li fell off the donkey cart and landed on the ground. He got up with a grimace and rubbed his aching lower back with his hands.

Turning back, Father Li looked up and saw Li Shiyue looking down at her with a smile on her face: "Dad, why are you so careless?
What does Dad want to see Grandma for?
If you have something to say, just talk to me nicely. Why are you so reckless to touch my Li family's grain bags?"

Li's mother held Shitou and watched everything. She didn't know what to say, so she just stood aside and watched, without doing anything or saying anything, just watching.

Father Li really doesn't dare to mess with his daughter Li Shiyue, who has a knife on her waist and dares to kill people.

Seeing that he had no way to search the donkey cart for the gold left by Grandfather Li and hidden by Grandmother Li, Father Li lowered his head and a plan came to mind.

Suddenly, Father Li started to cry out, "Oh, Dad, Dad, Mom doesn't want her son anymore!
Woo woo, Dad, Mom doesn’t want her son anymore, Mom doesn’t want all her sons anymore!

Woohoo!

Grandmother Li was supported by Li Wangming and sat aside. She was breathing heavily and already felt very stuffy in her chest. When she heard Father Li yelling "Grandfather Li", how could Grandmother Li bear it anymore?
Li Wangming saw the tears in Grandmother Li's eyes, "Mother?"

Grandmother Li raised her hand to signal Li Wangming that she was fine. Li Wangming immediately looked at Father Li with some resentment. Just now, Li Wangming thought that Li Shiyue's kick to Father Li was indeed a bit excessive. Now, Li Wangming wanted to kick Father Li himself. And what about Father Li?

After he finished howling these few sentences, he crawled on his knees to Grandmother Li and continued to wail to her, "Mother, save me, save my son. My son is sick, his whole body is hot, and his throat hurts as if it was scalded by boiling water. I can't speak.

Mother, please give your son some money. I want to go to the county town to see a doctor and buy some medicine.

Wuuwu, mother, mother, I don’t want to die. I haven’t given birth to a son yet, and I haven’t left any roots for the Li family!

Mother, my son can’t die!

Mother, please give me some money, Mother!"

Perhaps only Grandmother Li would feel distressed by Mr. Li’s performance.

After all, Li Shiyue, who was standing by, saw that Grandmother Li couldn't help but reach out to touch Father Li's face, and she felt that the next step would be for Grandmother Li to pay the money.

There was a crisp and loud "slap" sound. No one expected that Grandmother Li actually slapped Father Li in the face!
"Ah!" Li Shiyue was very surprised and looked at the sisters Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian. This was really an unexpected development.

"Has grandma attained enlightenment and changed her character?"

As Li Shiyue was thinking this, she saw Grandmother Li tremblingly stand up with the help of Li Wangming, and pointed at Father Li who was kneeling on the ground, "You unfilial son!

You still have the nerve to mention your father!

How dare you mention your father!
Your family has supported your studies for many years, but you can't even pass the exam to become a student!
You married a virtuous wife like Chunniang, but you are so shameless as to look for that lowly and dirty woman!

On the way to escape famine, you didn't think about your mother who has weak legs and feet, but only thought about that vixen!

Now, you still have the nerve to mention your father in front of me?

You unfilial son, I will beat you to death today!"

Grandmother Li must have been really angry, because this time she really raised the wooden stick that she used as a crutch and hit Father Li. This was not a fake hit like the night when Father Li and Mother divorced, this time she hit him on the head!
Li Wangming, who had been standing nearby, was stunned. Father Li never expected that Grandmother Li had such a strong grudge against him.

Caught off guard, Father Li was hit hard on the head by Grandmother Li's stick.

After being beaten, Father Li raised his hand and touched his forehead in a daze. In the dim light from the torch hanging on the donkey cart, Father Li saw the blood on his fingers.

At this point, Father Li reacted and quickly got up from the ground, rolling and crawling back.

After beating Father Li away, Grandmother Li seemed to be unable to bear the blow and almost fell down, but was supported by Li Wangming who had been standing beside her.

The drama of the son forcing his mother to give him money and the mother beating the son in anger has come to an end. The wide eyes and pricked ears of the families in Lijia Village have all disappeared, and they just turned their backs and chatted with their own family members.

Li Shiyue, who realized that something was wrong with Li's father, told her mother and then walked towards the donkey cart of Li Youfu's family. She had a vague guess in her mind, but she couldn't wait until tomorrow, so she had to discuss it with Li Shiyang tonight.
