[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 464 Protecting the Best Sister 6

Before Qiu Bailing could speak, a cry of surprise came from the side.

Li Mingzhu turned her head and met Qiu's mother's shocked face.

When she heard the servant come to report that her daughter-in-law had brought back a girl named Hua Niang, Qiu's mother almost fainted and hurriedly brought people over in a threatening manner.

She was anxious and angry: "Explain to me clearly, what is going on?"

Li Mingzhu sighed and said to Qiu Bailing, "Go and fetch my parents. This is a long story."

Qiu Bailing didn't understand what was going on, but nodded anyway. Without even having time to drink a glass of water, he hurried out again.

Li Mingzhu asked Xiu'er to take Zhang Rulan to wash up, while she helped Qiu's mother to the main hall.

The Li family was a small family. Li's father had an ox cart and usually used it to transport things for others. When Li's mother was a girl, she took an old embroiderer as her master and was very good at embroidery.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were a young couple who lived a happy life. Their only regret was that they had no children.

After adopting Yuan Shen, the two elders really treated her as their own child, providing her with all the necessary food, clothing and necessities. Mother Li also taught Yuan Shen the skill of embroidery.

The original body was quite capable and had studied well. When she reached marriageable age, she was spotted by the Qiu family who ran a cloth shop and was taken home as a daughter-in-law.

Not long after the original body got married, Qiu's father, who had been ill for a long time, passed away.

The mourning period was three years, and he only ended it at the end of last year.

Qiu's mother was a serious and strong-willed person. She was a typical mother-in-law of that era. She attached great importance to her daughter-in-law's character and reputation, and she would visit her three times a day, morning and evening.

However, Mother Qiu was not the kind of person who would deliberately tease her daughter-in-law. Since the original daughter-in-law behaved virtuously and well-behaved, she was not too harsh on her.

Li Mingzhu was not an ungrateful person. Looking at Qiu's mother's pale face and thinking about what she was going to say later, she couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart.

Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like today won’t end peacefully.

Qiu Bailing moved quickly, and an hour later, Li's father and mother arrived.

At this time, Zhang Rulan had also finished washing up and was standing beside Li Mingzhu with her head down.

Although she had taken a shower, Li Mingzhu still smelled a faint stench of decay on Zhang Rulan.

She sighed slightly in her heart.

Every girl in the brothel has gynecological diseases to varying degrees, and Zhang Rulan is no exception.

In the original plot, those people with ulterior motives told the original body that Zhang Rulan was pregnant but unable to bear children. Li Mingzhu thought that it must be a disease she contracted in the building.

Thinking of this, Li Mingzhu reached out and held Zhang Rulan's hand which was unconsciously stirring the handkerchief.

Zhang Rulan raised her eyes, her crow-like eyelashes trembling slightly.

More than ten years of life in a brothel had left many marks on her body, causing her to unconsciously reveal her charm and arouse pity.

This also made Qiu's mother very angry.

It's so embarrassing that my own daughter-in-law behaves intimately with a prostitute!

Li's father and mother also saw it. Mother Li walked over to Li Mingzhu, took her hand, and asked in a low voice: "My son, what on earth is going on?"

When Qiu Bailing arrived, the two elders were just about to have dinner. When they saw their son-in-law coming to pick them up, they were scared to death, thinking that something had happened to Li Mingzhu.

Li Mingzhu helped Li's mother sit down, picked up the hem of her skirt, knelt in front of the two elders, and kowtowed: "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial daughter and I lied to you!"

In order to be adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Li, the original body concealed her origins and lied to them that she was an orphan who had fled from the north and had no relatives.

Now, Li Mingzhu naturally could not continue to lie, and told everything except the affairs of the Zhang family.

Everyone present was stunned. Mother Qiu was the first to come to her senses. She pointed a shaking finger at Li Mingzhu and said, "So you... you actually came from a brothel?"

Li Mingzhu nodded.

Although the original body was young at the time and escaped in time under the care of Zhang Rulan and did not suffer any harm, he was sold after all, and there was nothing to deny.

Zhang Rulan, on the other hand, understood what Mother Qiu meant and hurriedly knelt beside Li Mingzhu, pleading, "Madam, Xiaoxuan is just a small maid in the building. She is innocent. Please..."

"Shut up!" Mother Qiu was furious, looking at Zhang Rulan with disgust. "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me?"

Zhang Rulan was speechless and looked embarrassed.

Li Mingzhu asked Wu Liang to help Zhang Rulan stand up: "Sister, you sit down and rest, I'm fine."

"You are not allowed to sit down!" Mother Qiu was furious. "Get out of here! My Qiu family doesn't welcome people like you...people like you..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Bailing hurriedly supported Qiu's mother and said, "Mom, calm down!"

Li Mingzhu looked at the stunned Li's parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I will always remember your kindness to me over the years. But I can no longer face you. From now on, I hope you will take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he kowtowed again.

Mother Li burst into tears and hugged Li Mingzhu: "My son, what are you talking about? You are our child, my daughter!"

Father Li wiped his eyes and nodded.

"You recognize me, but I won't!" Mother Qiu said sternly, "Our Qiu family's daughter-in-law cannot be a woman from a brothel! Divorce her, you must divorce her!"

Upon hearing this, Li's father and mother were horrified. Li's mother forced herself to speak: "My in-laws..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qiu's mother: "There's nothing to say! Ling'er, write the divorce letter now!"

Qiu Bailing was in a dilemma. He really liked Li Mingzhu. Even though he knew about Li Mingzhu's past, he had never thought of divorcing her.

"Mother," Qiu Bailing advised, "Mother, you have been in mourning for father for three years, you can't give up..."

Mother Qiu didn't expect her proposal to be rejected by her son. She almost fainted from anger and shouted, "You unfilial son, do you want to piss me off to death?"

Qiu Bailing lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, refusing to write.

Seeing that Qiu's mother's face was getting uglier and uglier, Li Mingzhu sighed, stood up, walked to Qiu Bailing, and whispered, "How about a divorce?"

Qiu Bailing was shocked.

He didn't expect that after he "fought" for Li Mingzhu and his mother, he would be stabbed in the back by his own wife.

Li Mingzhu felt inexplicably guilty and continued to persuade: "Your mother is almost mad at you. You should get a divorce. That way you can marry a good wife who is of equal status!"

Without waiting for Qiu Bailing to reply, Qiu's mother said, "Then divorce!"

Qiu's mother and Li Mingzhu both wanted to divorce, and no matter how reluctant the others were, there was nothing they could do.

Qiu Bailing had a sad face, but finally wrote the divorce letter.

After the matter was settled, Li Mingzhu turned around and packed her luggage. She did not take anything from the Qiu family and only moved her dowry onto the ox cart that her father had brought.

Qiu's mother stood aside without saying a word.

She is not so cruel as to covet her daughter-in-law's dowry.

Li Mingzhu felt quite embarrassed when she saw Qiu's mother with a gloomy face and Qiu Bailing wiping away tears.

In the original plot, the original body was killed by Huang Tiancheng, and the Qiu family would not have a good ending.

After thinking for a moment, she pulled out a five-hundred-liang silver note from her bosom and handed it to Qiu Bailing: "Here, this is your parting fee!"
