“Come on, come on, you wanted to fight, so come at me!”
Li Yu had seen plenty of people in his past life who could only talk big.
So he walked right up to Li Father.
He leaned his head towards the stick in his hand.
“Yu Ge.”
Seeing her husband act so recklessly, Xiu Xiu hurried forward to pull him back.
But Li Yu shouted loudly.
“Don’t pull me back.”
“Isn’t he trying to clean up the family? I’ll just stand here and let him hit me. Any stick that falls on me, I’ll return it tenfold to his eldest son. I want to see how many hits he can take!”
In an instant.
The scene fell silent again.
Everyone looked at Li Yu in disbelief.
This second son of the Li family was acting like a completely different person today, his temper was too fierce.
Then, they turned their gaze to Li Father.
They wanted to see if he dared to strike after Li Yu's words!
“You...”
Li Father raised the stick, looking at Li Yu with a gaze as intimidating as a mountain bandit.
He was so frightened that the stick slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
“Hehe!”
Li Yu scoffed.
“I thought you had some guts. In the end, you’re just a useless coward who bullies those weaker than you!”
“How dare you!!!!!!!!”
Li Father’s body shook, and his face instantly turned a shade of purple.
Like an eggplant just about to ripen in the ground.
Li Mother, on the side, was also shocked and sat down on the ground.
She truly couldn’t comprehend.
How could something that should have been handled easily turn into a mess with Li Yu, whom they least valued?
“Do I dare?”
Li Yu sneered.
He declared loudly.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Just because you’re my nominal father? You really overestimate your own status.”
“Have you ever fulfilled your duties as a father since I was a child?”
Li Yu’s retort.
It made Li Father’s face flush red, speechless.
“Hehe, can’t think of anything, can you?”
“If you can’t think of anything, then don’t bother; let me tell you, there’s nothing.”
Li Yu glanced at the surrounding villagers.
He continued to smile calmly.
“They say emperors love their eldest sons, and farmers love their youngest. But this saying doesn’t apply to you; you think of yourself as the emperor?”
“I certainly don’t; you little bastard, don’t slander me.”
He wouldn’t dare to admit that.
Otherwise, the next day, he’d be shouted at and thrown into the cow shed with his whole family.
“Hehe.”
Li Yu pressed on.
“I see you’ve had it good. That biased old lady in the family treated me poorly, feeding me one meal and starving me the next. At that time, I didn’t see you stepping up to give me a bite to eat, claiming to be my father,”
“If you did nothing, that would be one thing, but you even helped that old lady bully me. If the weather’s bad today, I get beaten; if the villagers laugh at me tomorrow, I get beaten again.”
Li Yu stepped forward, locking eyes with Li Father.
“What’s the deal? Was I born to be a servant, just to be bullied by your family?”
Li Father immediately shrank back, not daring to meet Li Yu’s gaze.
Even the old lady, who had been the loudest earlier, was now silenced.
Li Yu looked disdainfully at this family.
He continued.
“If it weren’t for the old man feeling sorry for me and bringing me here to teach me a trade, I wouldn’t have made it this far. I’d probably have been bullied to death or starved to death by your family.”
“Now that the old man has only just died, hey, what do you think? You suddenly remember you have a son!”
As he spoke,
Li Yu couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
“Every few days, you come here to take advantage of me. The valuable things left by the old man have all been taken away by you. Yesterday, the first meal my wife had after entering the house was corn porridge.”
“The valuable items at home have been cleared out, and now you’re starting to eye the house, right? Tell me, how can there be such disgusting people like you in this world?”
What does it mean to be justified?
His words today perfectly illustrated this point.
If he truly acted against this family, trouble would definitely follow.
It was better to lay everything bare in front of the villagers.
Even if Li Yu cursed them with all his might today,
People would think he had been more than reasonable; this family truly deserved to be scolded.
“Tsk tsk, this family is truly inhuman!”
“Exactly, to stoop so low as to behave like this, it’s really disgusting.”
“If it were me, I’d report them to the authorities and have this family kicked out. Just being in the same village as them makes me feel ashamed.”
“Da Yu is also pitiful; even after all this, he’s still being schemed against.”
At this moment.
The onlooking neighbors were almost all criticizing the three members of the Li family.
They truly had lost all face.
After today, this family would probably have to walk with their heads down in the village.
“Make way, what’s going on here?”
Li Xuewu pushed through the crowd and entered.
After receiving the message from his wife calling for help,
He hurried over without stopping.
Worried that his nephew and niece-in-law were being bullied.
But when he arrived, he found the situation was quite different from what he had imagined.
His nephew was fiercely confronting the three members of the Li family, leaving them speechless.
It truly left even this old uncle dumbfounded.
After waiting for a while, he finally stepped forward to help his nephew wrap things up.
“Old uncle, isn’t it obvious? They want to rob my house. It seems your guarantee from yesterday isn’t working; why don’t you just preside over the division of the family for me?”
Li Yu had actually noticed his old uncle standing outside long ago.
Seeing him finally unable to hold back, he cursed and complained.
“Otherwise, how can I and my wife live with them coming here to cause trouble every few days?”
“Indeed, it’s time to split the family.”
“Da Yu’s little wife has already been bullied to tears; if she had family, they would have come knocking long ago.”
“Dealing with such disgusting people, even a second sooner to split is a blessing.”
“I heard the Li family is recently looking for a matchmaker for their eldest son; you don’t think this is why they’re causing trouble, do you?”
“Oh, now that you mention it, I understand. So they’re planning to kick Da Yu out and take this house as a new home?”
Listening to the villagers’ chatter,
Li Xuewu couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache.
In the end, he nodded and said.
“Alright, since you all can’t go on like this, I’ll come and preside over the division of the Li family.”
It had come to this point; if they didn’t resolve it quickly,
Who knows if Li Yu would really lose his temper and go beat up the eldest son of the Li family, then things would truly spiral out of control.
