669 Recognizing the Wrong Person
“I also don’t know what sin I’ve committed! Do you think I don’t regret marrying you!” Li Xiong said indignantly.
As they quarreled with each other, they soon arrived at Li Gui’s previous residence, which was now the house that Wang Qin and Qiao Gui were living in.
“Li Gui, come out! You heartless thing! Come out quickly!” Li Xiong threw his luggage aside and stood at the door of Wang Qin’s house with his hands on his hips. He scolded loudly, as if he was venting all the grievances he had suffered over the past few days.
Sun Ying also imitated Li Xiong and pointed at Wang Qin’s house as she scolded, “You abused your old mother! You drove her crazy! You’re simply out of your mind! It’s not even too much to have you arrested! If you dare to do it, then admit it! Come out quickly!”
Qiao Gui looked through the glass window and stared at the people outside, feeling puzzled. Then he turned to look at Wang Qin and said, “Who are they? Your relatives?”
“What a joke! Didn’t you hear what he said… something about someone abusing the mother. My mother has been dead for more than 10 years. Where can I go to abuse her?” Wang Qin said with a laugh.
“Then who are they, having a tirade at our door. I’ve never seen anyone like this before,” Qiao Gui said as he looked at the door in confusion.
Wang Qin came over to take a look and said in surprise, “Isn’t this Li Gui’s second brother! How can you have forgotten! Didn’t you say that he went to the city to enjoy life? Why is he back?”
“But they can’t keep going on like this. Quickly think of a way to chase them away. Every injustice has its perpetrator. Why are they scolding us?” Qiao Gui said unhappily.
Wang Qin tidied her clothes and walked out of the door with a smile. “You must be Second Brother Li! It’s really been a long time! Is there a misunderstanding between us? Why are you here at my house, flaring up so early in the morning?”
Li Xiong was dumbfounded. Why was it not Li Gui coming out?
“Doesn’t this house belong to my younger sister! Why are you here! Where did my sister go!” Li Xiong said aggressively.
Wang Qin sighed and said pretentiously, “Second Brother Li, you also know that there are many people in my family. I managed to earn some money so I bought the house from your sister. At that time, I spent 500 dollars! Your sister is not here anymore. She lives in the big courtyard over there!”
When Li Xiong heard this, he became even angrier. Without another word, he led Sun Ying towards the direction that Wang Qin pointed out and found Li Gui’s house quickly.
He was completely irrational by now and his mind was filled with his prejudice against Li Gui. When he reached Li Gui’s house, he pushed the door open and entered. He was not as polite as when he was at Li Juan’s house.
“Li Gui, come out!” Li Xiong shouted arrogantly.
Zhang Wei quickly hid in the house with his younger siblings and held the door tightly shut. Li Xiong looked much more burly than Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong. This was the result of years of scavenging and manual labor.
“Second brother, long time no see… Come in and have a seat,” Li Gui said weakly.
“Don’t talk to me about anything else! Why did you go back and snatch money from our mother! Hurry up and hand over all her money!” Li Xiong said.
“Snatch money? When did I snatch money… You’re talking about the matter of me going home. I haven’t gotten the money back yet…” Before Li Gui could explain herself, Li Xiong went up and gave her a hard slap, causing her to fall to the ground.
In the house, Zhang Qin stood on a small stool and saw everything through the window. She cried and shouted in the room, “Mom! Mom!”
Zhang Wei quickly covered Zhang Qin’s mouth and said, “Don’t make a sound!”
“Eldest brother… please save mom! Mom is being beaten up!” Zhang Qin cried.
Zhang Wei could not stop crying either. However, he was still too young. He could only ensure that his younger siblings did not get hurt.
“What do you mean by you haven’t gotten the money back! Do you know that mother is so traumatized now! She doesn’t even recognize anyone anymore! The entire house smells of feces and urine! You still have the cheek to tell me here that you didn’t do it! Pfft!” Li Xiong pointed at Li Gui and shouted.
At this moment, Auntie Dong had rushed over with the other villagers. She hurriedly ran forward to help Li Gui up and said, “Sister! Are you alright!”
There was blood at the corners of Li Gui’s mouth from the beating. Her already weak body looked even more fragile now.
“Who are you! Why did you enter our village to hit someone!” Auntie Dong shouted angrily.
“Who do you think you are! How dare you talk to me like that! I’m her brother! She drove my mother crazy using a knife! How can it be wrong for me to hit her!” Li Xiong said.
“Second brother, I didn’t… I didn’t snatch our mother’s money. That’s not what happened,” Li Gui said.
