Fortunate Wife-Chapter 180 – Feeling bad (3)

“Little Five, you’re a good child. This isn’t your fault. Don’t cry.” Looking at the teary-eyed Little Five, Li Xiangyu’s heart immediately softened. After all, she had once taken care of Little Five. Moreover, this pitiful child hadn’t even seen his dad or mom after being born. Her heart truly ached for him.

Little Five tightened his hug. In a sobbing voice, he said, “Big Aunt, don’t go. Don’t yell at oldest brother either. Don’t let oldest brother hit older sister. Please?”

Li Xiangyu’s face still showed anger. She helplessly sighed. “You’re too young to understand. She’s a newly wedded wife. If you don’t lay out the ground rules now, she’ll act outrageously later.” As she said this, she glared at Li Mo. “Humph, you’re exactly like your father. You feel bad for your wife, right? If you keep spoiling her like this, in the future, she’ll dare to treat you like you’re the scum on her shoes. Don’t you understand?”

Li Mo saw that Li Xiangyu was genuinely crying and knew that she was feeling upset over what had happen to her brother. His heart felt bad too. He tried to persuade her, “Big Aunt, let go of the past. Man-er is a good woman -“

“Do you think I can’t see with my own eyes whether she’s good or not?” Li Xiangyu glared at him, then glowered at Li Man as she coldly harrumphed, “Li Mo is simple and good-natured and isn’t willing to hit you, but don’t you dare be pleased with yourself. You’re just a purchased good. If you turn out good, then fine, alright. If you’re bad, you’ll be beaten and sold off to keep you from harming this family.”

“Big Aunt!” Li Mo quickly shouted at her to stop. When he turned his head to look at Li Man, he saw that her little face was flushed and there were tears in her eyes. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

“Little Five, quickly, go bring Big Aunt back to the hut to rest.”

“En.” Little Five hastily grabbed Li Xiangyu’s hand and tried to pull her outside.

Li Xiangcao pushed her older sister along from the back.

Seeing that Li Man’s expression didn’t look good, Li Xiangyu felt much better. She sneered, flung her hand, and walked out.

Seeing that her supporter had left, Hehua anxiously looked at Li Mo, “Older brother Mo.”

“Out,” Li Mo coldly ordered without even looking at her. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Hehua’s heart trembled, and she dashed out of the kitchen.

Li Man took a deep breath. Her face was gloomy, and she started to leave too.

“Man-er.” Li Mo grabbed hold of her arm. “Big Aunt’s words were too harsh. Don’t take them to heart.”

Li Man flung his hand away and coldly looked at him. “Is it important if I take her words to heart? I’m just something you purchased. If a day comes when you no longer think I’m good, just beat me up and sell me off. Why keep an eyesore?”

After saying this, she turned around and started to walk out again.

“Man-er.” Li Mo realized that she was truly vexed. Panicking, he embraced her from the back.

Li Man stiffened, but she didn’t struggle. She only coldly said, “Let go of me.”

“Man-er, don’t be angry. I’ll apologize to you in Big Aunt’s place.” Li Mo pleaded into her ear. He didn’t let go of her. Instead he hugged her even tighter. He was scared that if he let her go, she would run off, and he would never see her again.

Li Man endured this grievance and icily said, “No need, I’m only a woman that you purchased. I can’t afford your apology.”

Li Mo’s heart lightly trembled. “Don’t say that. We’ve never thought of you that way.”

“Isn’t that the truth though?” As soon as she thought of this, she felt all sorts of upset feelings. Her heart ached and felt clogged up. It was as if her heart was stuffed full of jagged pebbles.
