Chapter 667 Thanks To You
Li Xiong looked at Sun Ying smugly and said, "That's right! My younger sister is living such a good life! In the past, I got along the best with her! She will definitely help me!"
Sun Ying wanted to stay in such a nice house for the night. She obediently stood behind Li Xiong and waited, not even daring to breathe loudly. Later, she must make Li Xiong look good and not let Li Juan look down on them.please visit 𝑓𝒓𝐞e𝓌𝘦𝘣ｎ𝘰𝐯𝒆𝘭.c𝚘𝒎.
"Is anyone home! Is anyone there!" Li Xiong shouted as he banged on the door.
A knock on the metal door was so loud that everyone in the village could hear it. Li Juan ran out of the house in annoyance and scolded, "Who's so blind! Can't you see the doorbell! I'm not deaf, why are you knocking so loudly!"
Li Xiong looked around him but did not see anything that looked like a doorbell. Actually, he had never even seen a doorbell before!
Rich people were really fastidious. He was her biological brother but he could not just enter directly, and still had to ring the doorbell. She simply had no respect for him as an older brother.
As soon as Li Juan opened the door, she recognized Li Xiong. She looked at him with disdain and said, "What are you doing here? Didn't you cut ties and said you'd never come back? You're not able to survive in the city anymore?"
"How can you talk to your brother like that! I just wanted to come back and see you!" Li Xiong said with a troubled expression.
"You will think of me? Weren't you and mother the ones who decided to sell me to this family to be the daughter-in-law back then? Why are you so hypocritically saying that you think of me now? You just want the money in my pocket, right?" Li Juan leaned against the door and said nonchalantly.
Sun Ying looked at Li Xiong in shock. This was not what he had told her on the way.
"Oh, look at my sister-in-law's bewildered expression. I was already married when you got married to my brother, so you probably don't know about this. My eldest sister-in-law was forced to marry into the Li family to repay a debt. My third sister originally married well, but her first husband died and my mother forced her to marry an abusive man. As for me, let's not talk about it," Li Juan said.
Sun Ying felt very emotional when she heard these words. She knew very well what kind of person Old Madam Li was, but she did not expect her to be so heartless.<.com>
"Second sister-in-law, I'd advise you to divorce my second brother quickly. Second brother, just don't ever come back for the rest of your life. Among the four of us, is there one who's better off? You should leave quickly. I will never forgive you for what happened back then." After saying that, Li Juan wanted to close the door.
Li Xiong stuck his foot in and pleaded, "Let us stay for one night, just one night. It's already so dark now, where do you want us to stay? I'm sorry for what happened back then, but I really doted on you the most when we were young. On account of that, can you let your sister-in-law and I stay for one night?"
Li Juan looked at Li Xiong helplessly, then at Sun Ying, and finally chose to let them in.
Of course, she did not let them go to the main house, but led them to the woodshed. Li Juan's woodshed was different from those belonging to ordinary families. Hers was really filled with firewood and coal and there was a lot of ash and dust. It was rarely tidied up.
"Xiao Juan, you want your sister-in-law and I to stay in such a place! Cough, cough… There's not even a place to sleep!" Li Xiong said as he covered his mouth and nose.
Li Juan pointed at the firewood and said, "Just pile up something and make do with it for the night. Beggars can't be choosers. Since you're here, you have to follow my family's rules. You're not allowed to come out. I'll send food to you later. You have to leave at dawn tomorrow morning!"
? Without waiting for Li Xiong's reply, Li Juan closed the door with a loud bang. Right now, Li Juan was alone at home. The old man she married had found a new girlfriend in the county city and she had heard that the woman was only in her early 20s!
No one in the family could hold him back, so they just let him do whatever he wanted. All these years, Li Juan had been well-behaved and took care of him cautiously, which was why she still had a place in the family.
Although everything looked glorious on the surface, she lived a hard life too.
"Didn't you say that your sister will treat you well? Why did she lock us up in the woodshed the moment we arrived? This lousy shed is not even as good as our own place!" Sun Ying said angrily.
Li Xiong did not expect Li Juan to have such a bad temper. He could no longer remember what happened back then. Moreover, he was not the one who came up with the idea to get Li Juan married off. Back then, he only tipped her off and did not do anything else.
