stingy landlady

Chapter 189 Making Guixiang a Concubine (3)

Li scolded her:

"This kid, he just had to come up with some random thing like roasted sweet potatoes or roasted potatoes! I almost forgot about the important thing!"

Li asked Dazhu:

"Honey! You haven't agreed to Guixiang's marriage, have you?"

Guizhi interjected:

"Is Third Aunt here to arrange a marriage for Eldest Sister? Mother! What kind of good family is the man from? What does he look like? How old is he? What are his family's circumstances?"

Li tried to shoo her away, saying:

"Hey? You little unmarried girl, you want to know everything! Get out, get out! Your father and I are talking about serious business!"

"You can't listen! It's your older sister's marriage, what are you meddling in! Don't you have any shame!"

Guizhi quickly begged for mercy:

"Mother! I was wrong! I won't say anything! Mother! Let me hear about my eldest sister's marriage! So I can tell her when the time comes!"

Besides, even if you kick me out, my father will still tell me, won't he? Father!

"Alright, alright! Let Guizhi hear it! That way, they'll know the details about Guixiang and Guihong's marriages in the future, and how to respond if they encounter the same situation!"

If we don't let them know anything, they'll be useless in the future, knowing nothing and knowing nothing!

Guizhi, it won't hurt you to listen! Tell me! What kind of family did Third Sister find for Guixiang?

Li couldn't get rid of Guizhi, and her third sister was still waiting for news!

Then he said:

"Third Sister has a good relationship with the wife of the County Magistrate's brother-in-law! Do you know the County Magistrate? He's the second-in-command of our county! The County Magistrate is the eldest, and he's the second eldest!"

The county magistrate's brother-in-law wants to take a concubine! Third Sister pulled some strings to get a spot for Guixiang! The county magistrate's brother-in-law is only in his early twenties, and they say he's quite handsome!

My third sister said that he just wanted to find a girl from our village, someone honest and simple! Unlike those vixens, who dress up all flashy all the time!

Dazhu was so angry he laughed:

"This is the good marriage your third sister found for Guixiang? To be someone's concubine! Li Lanxin!"

Let me tell you! You're not allowed to interfere in Gui Xiang's and her family's marriages anymore!

You want my daughter to be someone's concubine? Is it so your third brother-in-law can get promoted and make a fortune? You want my daughter to be their stepping stone!

They're so beautiful! Li! Go tell your third sister right now! Go back to where you came from! Or I'll have someone kick her out!

Then she'd lose both face and dignity!

Li said urgently:

"Honey! Why are you in such a hurry and getting angry! If you agree, then agree; if you don't, then forget it!"

That's my third sister! She's not an outsider! She's trying so hard to find a husband for Guixiang! So many people would kill to get into her house!

And what have you done! You disagree and then try to kick me out! I don't know what's wrong with you these past few years! You look down on me in every way, and now you're even kicking my family out!

Third Sister's first visit, and you're just dismissing her like this? She should at least have a meal and stay the night before going back! She came all this way!

Dazhu said urgently and sternly:

"No way! There's no food for her! No place for her to stay! Let her go wherever she wants!"

The girls in my family just can't get married. I'd rather keep them all at home than let them become someone's concubine!

Only someone as clueless and naive as you would be fooled by your family! You actually think this is a good marriage!

With your mindset, if someone sells you out, you'll still be helping them count the money!

How could I have ever fallen for you! Honestly!

Upon hearing Dazhu's disdain for her, Li couldn't help but scream:

"Wang Dazhu! Me, stupid? Isn't it because I'm stupid that I married into your family! You're shrewd! You're the shrewd one who married me! If I weren't stupid, would I have willingly arranged for you to take a concubine?"

I have no idea when you two started sleeping together! You kept me completely in the dark! And I was so stupid that I forced you to take her as a concubine! To make sure you two lovers got together!

You can be so devoted to a concubine! So why can't Gui Xiang win the favor of the county magistrate's brother-in-law? What's wrong with letting Gui Xiang become the county magistrate's brother-in-law's concubine? That would be marrying above her station!

Otherwise, what kind of family do you want her to marry into? A penniless man? Someone who does nothing but farm and earns a pittance every day!

What else can we expect?

As Li spoke, her voice gradually lowered:

"Who with status and power would look down on our family? It was only with great difficulty that Third Sister managed to get us connected with some officials in the government."

From now on, we'll never have to worry about food or clothing! How can a life of wearing gold and silver not be better than working hard every day and still not having enough to eat?

Dazhu shouted sternly:

"Save your kindness! Let your daughter become the concubine of the county magistrate's brother-in-law, not even the county magistrate's brother-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Li cried out again:

"What makes you think you can't?! I gave birth to this child; it came out of my belly! Why can't I make that decision?"

Dazhu also explained:

"Li! You'd better think this through! My daughter, Wang Dazhu's daughter, will not become anyone's concubine! If she can find a wealthy family, that's her destiny!"

Even if I can't be the wife of a wealthy family, it's better to marry a farmer than to be someone's concubine!

I, Wang Dazhu, am just a farmer, and you still have good food, drink, and entertainment! You even have servants to wait on you! What kind of hard work have you done!

I'm going to find your third sister! Why are you causing trouble at our house when you could be living a perfectly good life?!

As Dazhu was speaking, he was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes! Guizhi quickly handed him the shoes!

Who knew that Li would become stubborn and push Dazhu away, preventing him from putting on his shoes and going to find his third sister!

Dazhu became impatient and slapped Li Shi across the face with the sole of his shoe! All three of them were startled by the slap.

Li even jumped up and tried to scratch Dazhu's face:

"Oh, Wang Dazhu! How dare you hit me! What right do you have to hit me! Wang Dazhu! What have I ever done to wrong you? I've lived such poor years with you!"

When I went back to my parents' home, they looked down on me! Did I say anything? Did I look down on you? I may not have given you a son, but I did give you four daughters!

I even offered to take a concubine for you so I could give you a son! Wang Dazhu! And yet you still hit me! Are you even human?!

My third sister rarely visits, and this is her first time coming to my house! You want to kick her out?! I'll fight you to the death!

Li scratched and clawed at Dazhu! Dazhu grew impatient and shoved her hard, knocking her onto the kang (a heated brick bed). He then grabbed a shoe sole and started hitting her, but instead of hitting her face, he struck her fleshy buttocks!

"I've spoiled you rotten! How dare you lay a hand on your man! You think I wouldn't dare hit you? If you push me too far!"

I'm divorcing you!

The Li couple started fighting, and none of the servants dared to step forward! Guizhi was also angry with the Li family, so she stood aside and watched without saying a word!

Even though the west wing was far away, they could still hear the commotion. The third sister of the Li family couldn't sit still and rushed over to break up the fight!
