Chapter 164 The fight started
Looking at the clothes they were wearing, one piece of clothing had dozens of patches on it. Then looking at my own clothes, they were simply incomparable.
Although they sold her cruelly, if they hadn't sold her, she would probably have married a man in the village and lived the same life as them. She wouldn't have had the good life she has now. After realizing this, Zhao Lanlan took off a gold hairpin on her head and handed it to her mother.
"I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. You can take this hairpin and exchange it for some money so that you can buy a piece of clothing for each person in your family."
Wang's face showed joy, and her eyes lit up as she looked at the golden hairpin. She had never seen such a good thing in her life. She stretched out her hands to take it, and kept stroking it in her hands.
"Lanlan, look at you. I'm so happy that you can come here, and you also gave me such a good thing. Tomorrow, invite your son-in-law to come with you, and I'll cook a few dishes for you."
Hearing Wang say this, Zhao Lanlan frowned slightly. She wanted to show off, but Li Chunsheng was several years older than her father. How would she call him father-in-law then?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lanlan refused immediately, but she did not forget to flatter herself: "The master has eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. With the conditions of our family, we won't invite him to come."
"Well, Lanlan, are you living in the county government office now? You must come home often when you are free." Zhao Jinbao had originally thought that his brother-in-law could bring him some good things when he came, but that was not possible now.
Wang was very happy to receive the golden hairpin, and she praised Zhao Lanlan: "My daughter is so lucky. There are so many girls in the village, but who can compare with my daughter? Look at how elegant she is dressed."
Zhao Lanlan raised her head proudly and was very pleased to hear Wang's praise.
Old Mrs. Li felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. She had worked hard for most of her life, so why should that little vixen just sit back and reap the fruits of her labor? She had to go to Chengyang County too.
They left without hesitation, and called Jiang to discuss it with her. They left that same day. Since there was no one to take care of the child after the adults left, they took the child with them, and also went with the hired maid. They lived in Chengyang County for a while, or maybe permanently.
It was a good idea. He packed several large bags with his family, rented two horse-drawn carriages and filled them up, then headed towards Chengyang County.
Jiang was extremely happy along the way. She kept telling Li Xiaobao how great Chengyang County was. She asked him to ask his uncle to find a private school for him when he got there, so that he could pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official so that he could be filial to his grandmother in the future.
Thinking of the good days in the future, Old Mrs. Li was all smiles. Because she had children, the carriage went slowly and it took three days to get there.
It was already noon when they arrived at Chengyang County. Old Lady Li asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the county government office, and they arrived there in a short while.
Getting off the carriage, Old Lady Li looked at the magnificent county government office with her head held high and a look of pride on her face. This was her son's place and everyone had to listen to her son.
Jiang was carrying two big bags on her back and holding Niu Niu's hand. The old woman was carrying two bigger bags on her back and holding Li Xiaobao's hand. They had been in the carriage for three days and looked very disheveled and dusty.
After expressing her feelings, Old Lady Li was just about to tell her maid to go to the gatekeeper and tell him that the county magistrate's mother had arrived and ask his eldest son to pick her up.
Then I heard an impatient voice behind me: "A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way quickly, you are such a country bumpkin, you have never seen the world."
When Old Mrs. Li turned around, she saw a woman in her forties standing behind her, holding a chicken in one hand and a piece of pork in the other. It was obvious that the woman was scolding her.
Normally, Mrs. Li is not the type to keep quiet. But now, someone was scolding her for no reason at her son's doorstep. With her hot temper, she couldn't stand it.
He coughed violently and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the woman's face.
"I'm blocking this right here, what can you do to me?"
The woman was none other than Zhao Lanlan's mother. Knowing that her daughter was still living in the county government office, she discussed with Zhao Jinbao and decided to give the only egg-laying hen in the family to her son-in-law so that he could have some nourishment for his health.
By the way, he bought a large piece of pork and two boxes of snacks. Zhao Jinbao and his son Zhao Xiaojun were also with him.
Wang was holding something in her hand. She raised her hand and subconsciously wiped the things on her face with her sleeve. When she saw clearly what it was, she was so disgusted that she almost vomited out the food she had eaten last night.
"You're going to die, you crazy woman! I'll beat you to death." Ever since Wang found out that her daughter married the county magistrate's father, she felt superior to everyone and looked down on everyone. She was insulted like this at the doorstep of her son-in-law's house and became furious.
She threw the thing in her hand to the ground and rushed towards Old Lady Li. She had been working in the fields for many years and was very strong. She pushed Old Lady Li to the ground.
Old Mrs. Li didn't expect that she would start fighting as soon as she said so. By the time she reacted, the person had already fallen to the ground. Although he was pinned to the ground, her arrogance became even more aggressive. He thought she was a vegetarian because he dared to attack her.
A slap came towards Wang's face, which was tilted and burning with pain. She used one hand to stop Old Lady Li from hitting her hand, and with the other hand she grabbed Old Lady Li's hair and pulled it hard. In an instant, Old Lady Li screamed in pain.
Although older than Wang, Old Lady Li was extremely powerful. She grabbed, pinched, and bit her. After several rounds, she took advantage of an opportunity and pushed Wang to the ground. This time she became even more aggressive. She originally was sitting astride Wang's waist, but now she raised her buttocks, faced Wang's stomach, and sat down suddenly. Wang coughed in pain and almost choked her breath.
When Zhao Xiaojun saw her mother being bullied like this, she kicked Old Lady Li hard in the waist from behind and kicked her off Wang. Old Lady Li felt that her old waist was about to break.
Seeing this, Jiang rushed up and started beating Zhao Xiaojun. Zhao Xiaojun was already eighteen years old and strong. Her blows were like tickling, and she kicked her away. The old woman from the Li family saw that her master was injured, and she couldn't just stand by and watch, so she picked up the bag and started beating Zhao Xiaojun.
Zhao Xiaojun threw away the bag with one hand and glared at her. Without Zhao Xiaojun kicking her, she took two steps back and sat down on the ground, crying out in pain.
When Niu Niu saw this scene, she was so scared that she burst into tears. Li Xiaobao knew that Li Dajiang was inside and wanted to go find his uncle, but was stopped by the yamen runners at the door. There were people who came to the gate of the county government to establish connections every day, and who knew if they were in the same group.
"Go, go, go, kids, go play somewhere else."
Li Xiaobao was so anxious that tears came to his eyes: "The county magistrate is really my uncle, please, my grandma is about to be beaten to death by them."
