Chapter 27, Fell Into My Hands
Li Yong sneered and looked at Li Xu, “Sis, what are you thinking? You’re going to wreck the place tomorrow, so I’ll go with you. But what’s the point of bringing the children with you? Are you going to let the children watch their father remarried with their own eyes?”
Li Yong did not think before he spoke, so Li Miao quickly poked him.
Only then did Li Yong react and look at Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang.
They don’t have to worry about Ji Zi’ang, he was acting like a tiger. However, Ji Zixuan’s expression was a little sad, and his eyes were a little red.
Li Yong sighed and hugged Ji Yuanyuan tightly.
“They invited me. If I don’t go, wouldn’t I be letting them down? Father, mother, our whole family will go tomorrow. It’s a good thing to have someone treat us to a meal.” Li Xu’s eyes were full of mockery as she spoke.
Li Yong and Li Miao looked at each other. They couldn’t figure out what their big sister was trying to do.
Early the next morning, the family got up to prepare. Li Xu wore the blue dress that she had bought at the mall.
Recently, she had drunk from the well water in the space. Her skin had become much fairer and more tender.
Li Miao helped her to tie up her hair and even gave her own vanishing cream.
After dressing up, Li Miao walked around and said with some nostalgia, “Big Sister’s style is getting more and more like it was in the past.”
Back then, her sister was a flower in the village.
In the end, she was stuck in Ji Jianguo’s pile of cow dung.
Li Yong and Li Xu came back with two bicycles. Li Zhiming went to a neighbor’s house to borrow one, and the family went to the Ji’s house in an imposing manner.
This was the place where Li Xu had lived for more than ten years. She was very familiar with the people and things here.
When they entered the village, the neighbors saw Li Xu and were surprised.
They also couldn’t figure out why Li Xu came when Ji Jianguo was getting married.
Li Xu was very generous. She replied to everyone, “It was Feng Yue who sent me the wedding invitation and told me to bring the child here to recognize the relatives.”
Then, she waved the wedding invitation in her hand.
Instantly, the villagers felt like they were struck by lightning.
“What is the Ji family thinking?”
“Yeah, it’s only been two months since the divorce, and they’re already so eager to get married. They must have hooked up before. No wonder Li Xu refused to listen to reason and insisted on getting a divorce.”
“Who would invite their ex-wife over for their second marriage? This Ji Jianguo must have a hole in his brain.”
“He probably wanted to show off at Li Xu’s place. Who knew that Li Xu would really come.”
…
Xu Xiuhua and Ji Jianguo really thought so.
Originally, Xu Xiuhua just wanted Feng Yue to vent her anger on Li Xu.
Didn’t she insist on getting a divorce? Now, she wanted to show her that her son didn’t have to be with her. After the divorce, she even took the children away. Who did she think she could scare? It wasn’t like Jianguo couldn’t have a child anymore.
With his son’s condition, let alone the divorce, even if he didn’t get a divorce, a lot of young girls would throw themselves at him.
Wasn’t Shen Mei just like that?
She was eight years younger than Jianguo. Jianguo hadn’t gotten a divorce yet, but she was already clinging to him and wouldn’t let go.
So, she was pregnant again. Shen Mei’s butt was big. With one look, it was obvious that she was pregnant with a son.
However, to their surprise, Li Xu actually agreed to come to the wedding.
When Feng Yue returned home yesterday, she was scolded by Xu Xiuhua.
Today, when she saw Li Xu bringing such a big family, her heart ached so much that it hurt her chest.
There were so many people, how much food will they eat?
The moment Li Xu appeared, she shocked a large group of people.
They really couldn’t tell that Li Xu looked so good with just a little makeup.
She had a small waist and didn’t look like someone who had given birth to three children.
Her face was also applied with something. It looks tender and white, as if she was an unmarried girl.
The village’s daughter-in-law looked at Li Xu with tears in her eyes.
At the door, there was a person in charge of receiving red packets.
Li Xu stepped forward and handed over a red envelope.
This person who received the money was also a member of the Ji family. He could be considered as one of Ji Jianguo’s uncles.
When this uncles saw Li Xu, he was extremely embarrassed, but he still took the red envelope.
Xu Xiuhua watched from not far away and felt a little better.
It was alright to pay before eating.
The uncle smiled awkwardly and opened the red packet. He was about to read it out loud, “Li Xu…”
When he saw the amount inside, he was stunned, “30 cents?”
Why did she put in 30 cents? Putting aside whether 30 cents was too little or not, the number 30 was not auspicious.
30 cents
,
disperse
. Wasn’t this cursing him to break up?
If it was anyone else, the uncle would have chased them out.
But this person was Li Xu. the uncle didn’t know what to do.
Li Xu smiled and raised her voice, “The bride and groom both like the number
three
. If you don’t believe me, ask them.”
There was a hidden meaning in her words.
Those present were all neighbors. They had long guessed Ji Jianguo and Shen Mei’s relationship. Li Xu’s words had already verified everyone’s thoughts.
“Looks like Shen Mei really is a mistress.”
“She’s definitely a mistress. Otherwise, why would she be so eager to get married after only two months? Shen Mei is probably pregnant.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. How shameless. I heard that she also had a child before, and she got pregnant before she got married.”
…
Li Xu brought her family into the house with an open mind.
The rural banquets of this era were all arranged at home.
There were a few tables in the courtyard. If they couldn’t set them up, they would go to the neighbor’s courtyard.
The cook was right next to them. He had a big pot and was cooking non-stop.
Li Xu entered the house and looked around. She found an empty table and sat down with the children.
The seven of them had already taken up more than half of the table.
There was such a good thing, they quickly sat down next to Li Xu. Their faces were full of gossip.
Ever since Xu Xiuhua heard that Li Xu’s red packet was only 30 cents, her face had been dark. When she saw that Li Xu’s family had taken up more than half of the table, she was even more furious.
Just as she was about to go forward, a burst of lively voices suddenly came from the door.
It was Ji Jianguo who had brought Shen Mei back.
Xu Xiuhua could not be bothered with Li Xu anymore. She quickly put on the airs of a mother-in-law and sat down on the chair, waiting to drink Shen Mei’s tea offering as a daughter-in-law.
Soon, Ji Jianguo and Shen Mei entered the door, surrounded by everyone.
Ji Yuanyuan suddenly stopped.
In the crowd, there was a little girl wearing a red dress. Her hair tied into two small tufts. There was even a lace headband on her head. She looked around timidly.
It was Shen Lingxue!
Ji Yuanyuan’s gaze immediately became fierce.
In her previous life, she could be considered to have grown up with Shen Lingxue. The little girl in front of her was the Shen Lingxue from when she was young.
Very Good, Shen Lingxue. You have finally fallen into my hands.
Under the host’s hosting and the crowd’s laughter, Ji Jianguo and Shen Mei began the ceremony.
However, Ji Jianguo turned his head and saw Li Xu.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dining table, wearing a blue dress that covered her figure well. Her hair was neatly tied up, revealing her small and exquisite face.
He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Li Xu’s face was even more beautiful than before.
For a moment, he was actually a little absent-minded.
- In Chinese, 30 cents is 三毛, the first character read as ‘san’.
- 散, disperse also read as ‘san’, it just has different tone.
- Li Xu refer to a mistress, because mistress is called 小三 (xiao san, little three).
