Chapter 187 – Resolution (4)
“Third brother, take it easy. Don’t actually hurt her,” Li Yan quickly said by his ear, then he wrapped his arms around Li Shu’s waist and shouted, “Third brother, what are you doing? So, what if she’s here? Even if we don’t like her, there’s no need to hurt her, ah.”
Li Shu turned his head and said, “Don’t hold me so tightly, I won’t be able to easily escape.” Seeing that people had already entered the courtyard, he quickly raised the hoe and was about to fight his way over there. “Second brother, let go. That woman has gone too far. If I don’t smash her into pieces this time, than my last name isn’t Li.”
After saying this, he swung his arms and struggled free from Li Yan.
“Ow!” Li Yan staggered and appeared as if he hadn’t been able to hold onto Li Shu.
Sure enough, Li Shu ran over in that direction. Raising the hoe, he struck it downwards in Hehua’s direction.
Scared, Hehua loudly cried out and instinctively hugged Li Mo, who had been nearby
Li Xiangyu’s face was pale. For a moment, she gaped and forgot what she was about to say.
Li Mo removed Hehua’s hands from his body, went around Li Xiangyu, and berated Li Shu,” Third brother, put that down.”
Li Shu held up the hoe in one hand and pointed at Hehua with the other hand. He angrily said, “Oldest brother, don’t get involved in this. This woman has to be taught a lesson. Last time, she wanted us to marry into her family, and we didn’t agree. Now, she’s come back. It’s outrageous. Even if us brothers have to be bachelors for the rest of our lives, we won’t live under someone else’s roof. If we do that, our last names will be changed to her family’s and we’ll be like tortoises that have to shrink their necks back.”
Li Mo’s face was solemn. He didn’t say anything and only looked at Li Xiangyu.
Li Xiangyu rushed to explain, “Li Shu, ah. That’s all wrong.”
“Big aunt, you’re saying that I’m wrong? Even if I’m wrong, I’ll talk after I beat that woman to death.” Li Shu angrily went forward. The more he looked at Hehua, the more he found the sight of her displeasing. Little Five had told him that she had tried to hit their wife. Fortunately, oldest brother had stopped her. How despicable. He was definitely going to teach this rotten woman a lesson today.
Li Shu raised the hoe up and was going to strike down again. Scared, Hehua ran around the courtyard to get away from Li Shu while shouting, “Aunty, save me. Hurry, tell him this time it’s not an uxorilocal marriage.”
“Aiya, that’s right. Li Shu, hurry, put down the hoe.” Li Xiangyu was so anxious that she stamped her feet. She shouted, “Hehua didn’t come here this time to ask you and your brothers to marry into her family.”
Li Shu acted as if he had heard nothing. There were several times when the hoe almost struck Hehua’s heels. Frightened, she ran and hopped while screaming and crying out in fear. She around the courtyard like a monkey.
Li Xiangyu knew that Li Shu wouldn’t obey her, so she pulled Li Mo over and said, “Li Mo, quick, tell him to stop. Hehua came here with me. If something happened to her, how will I be able to explain it to her parents?
“Third brother,” Li Mo finally called out to stop Li Shu.
Holding the hoe, Li Shu coldly looked at Hehua, who was holding onto the wall for support. She almost couldn’t catch her breath. He asked Li Xiangyu, “Big aunt, you’re not lying to me? She’s really not here for an uxorilocal marriage?”
“Really,” Li Xiangyu hurriedly said, “Li Mo, go get that hoe from him.”
“No need.” Li Shu casually tossed the hoe away and strode towards Li Xiangyu. “Big aunt, since she’s not here for an uxorilocal marriage, why did you bring this ugly woman to our home?”
