11. Male Supporting Roles in Period Novels (11)

Father Li wanted to bite Duan Qing'en in front of him to death, but in front of the old people in the village, not only could he not bite him to death, he couldn't even show dissatisfaction on his face.

There is no way. If he is dissatisfied, people will definitely ask: "What are you dissatisfied with? What are you dissatisfied with if you really have no money?"

By then, everyone in the village will know that he has taken over his niece's property, so he will have no face.

But in my heart, I feel unhappy after all.

He loves a good reputation. For the sake of good reputation, he has always been a good person outside and always smiles when something goes wrong. But now that his reputation has been ruined, how can Father Li feel at ease?

He hated it so much, and gritted his teeth when he looked at Duan Qingen, a young boy with an innocent smile on his face and a mean look on his face.

"You do love Hongfeng. Nothing will happen to her if she doesn't show up. It's you who carries the gun and fights."

The old people listening nearby frowned. As the saying goes, one becomes wiser with age, but they could still hear Father Li's clearly provocative words.

It seems that they really misjudged him before. It was okay to usurp the niece's property. Now that the matter has been exposed, they actually want to make the little girl unhappy and the good couple not harmonious.

Someone wanted to come out and say a few words for Li Hongfeng, but before he could open his mouth, Duan Qingen stood up first, with a smile on his face, but his words were full of guns and sticks: "You're welcome, Hongfeng is my wife. Although I am not very educated, I still understand the principle of helping each other as a couple, but cousin Bishuang, after getting married, she took money from her mother's family to support her husband's family, right? "

"Oh, that's right." He showed a look of sudden realization and clapped his hands, "Speaking of this, last time I saw my aunt and cousin in front of my store, and the car of clothes was sold by the Zhou family. Right? Why can’t I sell my clothes, but my aunt and cousin are the ones who come to see me?”

Looking at Li's father's increasingly ugly expression, Duan Qing'en clicked his tongue and said, "In my age, this is the first time I have seen someone trying their best to take benefits from her mother's family to support her husband's family after getting married. It's really eye-opening."

Father Li slapped the table: "You!!"

Duan Qingen hid behind, "Do you still want to hit someone? We have already given in so much and you are still not satisfied. Do you think you have to go to the police to check the files?"

Of course, Li's father didn't know that the police did not have files on how much compensation the perpetrator had paid, so he was successfully coaxed by Duan Qingen.

He couldn't go to the police. If he was really found out how much the compensation was, Li Hongfeng was a heartless person, so he might really be forced to pay it back.

Father Li could only leave with a livid face. He felt aggrieved and couldn't help but wonder.

Why is Duan Qingen so arrogant? Doesn't he worry about others gossiping when he does so many things? ?

He walked back home bitterly. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Li Bishuang crying, "They all agreed to go to Duan Qing'en to sell clothes. If something goes wrong, they blame me and say that I have embarrassed them. Jia Ming listens. If I cheated on him, he won’t look good on me now, wuwuwuwu, mom, you have to help me make the decision..."

Father Li listened to his daughter's sobs and Mother Li's comforting voice. The noise made him feel angry.

Duan Qingen was right. After this girl got married, she ran home every three days, either taking money or things. She never helped with the work when she came back. Now Duan Qingen took advantage of him because he was still in trouble.

Thinking that from now on, although the family has money, they can only eat rice bran vegetables. They can't buy this or that. Living is obviously more uncomfortable than death. Li's father kicked the door open in anger.

--Bang!

Li Bishuang, who was crying, was startled by the violent sound. She subconsciously looked back at the door, only to see her father glaring at her with an angry face. She had always had the feeling "You are just ordinary people and I can foresee it" since she was reborn. "Future" is aloof, and he doesn't have much respect for his father Li who loves him. Now when he suddenly sees him looking at him with such cold eyes, he can't help but panic.

"dad……"

"Don't call me! I don't have a daughter like you!"

Recalling all the things that happened to Li Bishuang without thinking about her mother's family after she got married, Li's father became more and more chilled as he thought about it. His eyes looking at Li Bishuang were scary and cold.

"Tell me clearly, that cart of clothes was obviously bought by your mother-in-law. Why did you drag your mother to Duan Qingen's house?"

Li Bishuang felt aggrieved and guilty, "Didn't that mean Li Hongfeng married Duan Qing'en? I just wanted to go with my mother so we could talk better..."

Father Li huffed and puffed angrily, "Okay, why did your mother-in-law buy a cart of clothes and sell them in front of Duan's house?"

Speaking of this, Li Bishuang became even more aggrieved. Duan Qingen obviously lost all his money in his previous life, but now, not only did he not lose money, he also made a lot of money.

"They were collecting new skirts before. I saw that the weather was getting colder and thought that they would have no business by then. If they bought a batch of thick clothes and sold them, they might make a lot of money. But who would have thought that they would actually sell skirts? Wearing a coat outside..."

While she was talking about her grievances, she heard the father in front of her say something sinister: "Since you came up with this idea to make money, why didn't you come back and tell us so that we can make money together?"

Li Bishuang was silent.

The town is so big and there are so many people buying clothes. If she tells her parents' family and the Li family also brings a cart of clothes, can she still make a lot of money?

If she doesn't make a lot of money, how can she gain a foothold in the Zhou family and make Jiaming value her.

Father Li looked at his silent daughter with more and more disappointment in his eyes, "When you have money to make, you don't think about us. When you have to apologize to others and lose face, you push your mother. People say that a daughter who is married is like water spilled. I didn't take it to heart before, but now it seems to be true."

Mother Li looked at her husband uneasily, then at her daughter, "Her father..."

"Shut up!"

Father Li interrupted his wife directly, "It's all because of you who spoiled her. We raised her so big, and we were polite not to ask her to subsidize the family, but look at what she has done. Since she got married, she has been asking for money every other day. Now it is obviously her in-laws who caused trouble, but her in-laws are still here. The mother-in-law has nothing to do with it, but it is our family that has to clean up the mess. "

"Are you satisfied now? The whole village knows that our family is shameless and harsh on Li Hongfeng! ! "

"I tell you, Li Bishuang, you can stay at your husband's house in the future. If I find out that you ask your mother for money again, I will go to Zhou's house to make trouble. From now on, your business is your business, don't expect us to help you! ! "

Li's mother looked at her husband in shock: "Her father, what are you talking about? We only have Bishuang as a daughter. If we don't take care of her, who will? ? "

"She has a husband and a mother-in-law. If we don't take care of her, there are people who will take care of her! ! "

Li Bishuang looked at Li's father who was talking angrily. After the initial guilt, she was left with resentment.

He is still her biological father, but he didn't even help her. He said so nicely and acted as if she was sorry for them. It was because she was married to Zhou Jiaming instead of Duan Qingen. Zhou Jiaming had no money, so they looked down on her as a daughter.

Hate the poor and love the rich, how could she have such parents!

Li Bishuang didn't think about whether it was her own problem at all. Instead, she blamed Li's father and mother. She looked at Li's father with righteous resentment and walked out without mercy.

When Jiaming has money and she becomes a rich wife, she will definitely come back and slap them in the face!

Li's father said something unpleasant, but in fact he still hoped that his daughter would say a few good words. As a result, he saw Li Bishuang leave without hesitation. He was so angry that his eyes went black and he fell to the ground, holding his heart.

"No conscience!!! No conscience!!!"

***

"I heard that Li Bishuang had a falling out with her parents, and her father fainted from anger. He deserved it. When his brother was here, he used to pull him back, but he took over his brother's property as soon as he left. He is so heartless, and his daughter deserves it!"

Ye Cuixiang kept muttering, and stuffed some money into Li Hongfeng's pocket, "Let's not talk about them. Take the money. If you're hungry when you get there, find a restaurant to have a good meal. Don't be stingy with money. The college entrance examination is a big deal."

After that, she was worried that her daughter-in-law would not be hungry on the way, so she put the boiled eggs in her pocket, "If you're hungry on the way, eat an egg first. The road is very bumpy. See if you get carsick. If you are, let's go slower. We got up early and we can make it in time."

Even though she was used to her mother-in-law's kindness to her, she still felt warm and sad to feel Ye Cuixiang's meticulous care on this important day.

If my mother were still alive, she would probably treat her like my mother-in-law.

She blinked and hid her tears, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, get into a good university and find a good job, so that you can enjoy happiness in the future."

"Hey, Mom is waiting."

Ye Cuixiang responded readily and reluctantly sent her son and daughter-in-law away.

Duan Qingen and Li Hongfeng walked hand in hand to the village entrance. Ye Cuixiang was afraid of tiring them, so she hired a bullock cart. Their place was small and the bullock cart market was not bad. In addition, Ye Cuixiang had a little reputation in the town, so it was easy to make an appointment. According to the agreement, the bullock cart would wait for them at the village entrance.

On the way to the village entrance, the two happened to see Li Bishuang.

Zhou Jiaming stayed in school directly to wait for the exam, unlike Li Hongfeng who went home, so Li Bishuang was alone.

As a wife, she was arranged by Zhou's mother to go to the city to take care of Zhou Jiaming. Zhou's mother was reluctant to hire a car, so Li Bishuang had to walk alone.

She likes to look good, and she thought she would not lose face in the city, so she wore a beautiful skirt. However, the cold wind in the early morning made her face pale. She was hesitating whether to go back and change into thick clothes, when she saw Duan Qingen and Li Hongfeng.

Seeing this, Li Bishuang began to feel uncomfortable again.

Seeing Li Hongfeng wearing warm new clothes, a light-colored thin scarf, and a pair of red leather shoes on her feet, with a rosy face and holding hands with Duan Qingen, while she herself was wearing old clothes before getting married, how could she feel comfortable?

What's more, the pair of leather shoes cost a lot of money. It is said that Ye Cuixiang saw them when she went to purchase goods and bought them for her, saying that the color was bright and suitable for young people.

In her previous life, she did not have such treatment as Ye Cuixiang's daughter-in-law.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Bishuang was almost drowned by the acid water after watching Duan Qingen get on the ox cart first and then turn around to pull Li Hongfeng. She was so considerate that she almost drowned in the acid water.

Why did Li Hongfeng live so well, while she had to suffer!

She tried to calm down and comfort herself. It was okay. Even if Li Hongfeng was pampered by the Duan family, her college entrance examination results in her previous life were not as good as they were usually boasted.

Jiaming was the most powerful. When the college entrance examination results came out, Jiaming could go to a big city to go to college, while Li Hongfeng could only go to an ordinary university and work part-time.

With this thought in mind, Li Bishuang crossed her arms and walked forward with difficulty in the cold wind, her face pale from the cold.

After the college entrance examination, the candidates waited anxiously and expectantly for the results.

Li Bishuang was the least anxious one among the family members. She knew that Jiaming would have good grades in the future, he would be admitted to a famous university, and he would be quickly valued after graduation, and then he would be promoted and get a raise and make a lot of money.

Zhou's mother was anxious waiting herself, and she was not happy to see Li Bishuang not anxious at all.

This was obviously not paying attention to her son, otherwise how could she be so calm?

She couldn't help but explode, but Li Bishuang thought Zhou's mother was ignorant.

Her belly had grown bigger, and she was touching it while saying with certainty, "Mom, don't you still believe in Jiaming? He will definitely do well in the exam."

"With so many people taking the exam, what if someone does better than him!"

Mother Zhou kept muttering, "Just Li Hongfeng's grades are better than Jiaming's. If she doesn't do so well, then there will be one more place for Jiaming."

"Li Hongfeng?"

Li Bishuang laughed sarcastically, "She is nothing, how can she compare to Jiaming? Look, mom, she has been eating and drinking well since she married Duan Qingen, and she doesn't look like she studied hard. Maybe she can't even get into college."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a noisy sound outside, and Mother Zhou immediately stood up and ran out, "What's wrong? Is Jiaming back?"

Li Bishuang was delighted and stood up and walked out, wanting to greet her husband who was going to check the results.

A villager passing by replied, "No, the college entrance examination results are out. Hongfeng ranked first in the city. They said someone from the city came to congratulate him. Sister Zhou, do you want to go and see the excitement together?"
