"Why wouldn't I dare? Mother, you don't care about my life and death for my brother. Why wouldn't I dare? If you don't believe me, you can try. Let's see if I dare or not." Jiujiu looked into her mother's eyes and said word by word, "My husband is dead now. I'm all alone. You don't care about my life and I don't have any children. I have nothing to lose now. Why wouldn't I dare? At most, I'll go with my husband. Why wouldn't I dare?"
Jiujiu's mother did not expect that Jiujiu would become so powerful. She softened instantly and said softly, "Xiu 'an, you and I are mother and daughter. Why do we have to fight to the death?"
"Mother, you don't care about my life and death. Why should I care about you?" Jiujiu sneered, "As long as you care about me, you won't let me marry a dead man."
Mother Lu was rendered speechless by Jiujiu's words. Her lips moved, but she could not utter a single word. She could only remain silent.
Jiujiu's mother looked at Jiujiu with hope, "Let's talk about it. Talk about it."
Jiujiu did not intend to report Mother Lu to the yamen in the first place. What she wanted was for the Lu family to not interfere with her future. There was no reason for them to move the chastity memorial arch to her without her permission.
Jiujiu saw that her mother had admitted defeat. She said bluntly, "I can let it go, but you have to write me a contract."
"Say it." Now, as long as Jiujiu did not report them to the yamen, they could do anything.
"From now on, you can't interfere with my marriage and you can't move the chastity memorial arch to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
When Jiujiu said that she could not interfere with the marriage, Mother Lu was still hoping for a fluke. If she did not get married, then so be it. As long as she did not get married, then she would have a reason to invite the chastity memorial arch over. Anyway, she was not getting married. Rather than being a widow, she might as well be a widow with a good reputation. However, Jiujiu's second sentence shattered Mother Lu's last thought. Mother Lu's heart was bleeding, but she could only nod and agree.
Jiujiu was a woman of her word. She immediately went to find a set of four treasures of the study and wrote a letter. Then, she had her mother and father sign the letter and put their fingerprints on it. After that, they were the witnesses in the government office. Only then did she allow them to bury Li Chungang that very night.
Although they buried him in the middle of the night, Jiujiu gave them a lot of face. What the others received was the same as Li Chungang's, or even more.
The people from the Lu Family were especially envious. These things were all silver. How good would it be if they could keep all of it for themselves?
However, because of Li Chungang's matter, their family had offended Jiujiu. Jiujiu had even shed all pretense of cordiality. They could not even raise their heads in front of Jiujiu, let alone other things.
After burying Li Chungang, Jiujiu directly returned to her home and locked the door.
The Lu family, who wanted to build a good relationship with Jiujiu, were rejected. Father Lu did not have much interaction with Jiujiu and thought that Jiujiu was still the same as before. He angrily kicked the door and scolded, "That ingrate. If I knew she was so heartless, I would have drowned her instead."
Mother Lu had suffered in Jiujiu's hands before, so she did not dare to say anything.
Father Lu scolded Jiujiu for a while before leaving angrily.
Because Li Chungang had just died, Jiujiu was Li Chungang's only relative. Naturally, she had to observe mourning for Li Chungang for three years. The next day, Jiujiu took off the colorful wedding clothes and changed into plain clothes.
As the saying goes, if you want to be in mourning, Jiujiu's appearance was not bad. Otherwise, Li Chungang would not be willing to wait for her for three years. In the past, she was treated harshly by the Lu family, so her complexion was a little bad. But now that Jiujiu had begun to practice martial arts, her complexion naturally became much better. Even though Jiujiu was very low-key, she could still attract many people's attention when she walked on the street.
Jiujiu went to the street to buy some vegetable seeds and daily necessities and quickly went back. However, she did not expect that someone would knock on her door the next day.
The person who came was a woman known as Auntie Wang. Auntie Wang usually liked to gossip with those women, so she got the title of Big Tongue Wang. However, because she liked to gossip, she would tell you everything that happened on the street. Generally, other people didn't know about it, so she was quite popular among those women.
Now, the courtyard of Li Chungang's house was different from when they got married.
In the past few days, Jiujiu had pulled out all the weeds on both sides of the path and made a fence out of tree branches. She had planted some vegetables on both sides of the fence. Now that the vegetable sprouts had just sprouted, the entire place was green and lively.
It was inevitable that a person would feel lonely, so Jiujiu also let Little White and Steamed Bun out. Because they did not want to be too eye-catching, Little White and Steamed Bun looked like ordinary cats and puppies. Although their appearance was ordinary, their bright eyes and lively movements made people unable to help but take a few more glances.
Whether it was Jiujiu or Lu Xiu 'an, they did not have much interaction with Auntie Wang, but Auntie Wang had always been unforgiving. If you offended her, she could definitely ruin your reputation.
Although Jiujiu and the Lu family had a falling out, she did not want to have her reputation ruined for no reason. It was better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, so Jiujiu still invited Auntie Wang in.
Jiujiu made a cup of tea for Auntie Wang, and the two sat in the courtyard. Auntie Wang looked at the courtyard that looked familiar but had become more exquisite and beautiful than before. In addition, there were two cute pets full of spirit. No matter how she looked at it, she was full of vitality.
Auntie Wang took a sip of tea, smacked her lips, and sighed: "Sister, you are so lucky."
Jiujiu's husband had just died, so how could it be a good fortune? Auntie Wang felt that something was wrong when she said this. She quickly changed the topic and pointed to Steamed Bun who was playing with Little White and said: "Sister, where did you buy this cat?"
Auntie Wang was sensible, and Jiujiu naturally was too lazy to argue with her. She smiled and said: "I didn't buy it. When I came back from a trip a few days ago, I saw this cat in the backyard. I saw that its eyes were full of spirit, so I gave it some food. I didn't expect it to stay here and not leave."
Hearing Jiujiu mention itself, Steamed Bun quickly jumped on Jiujiu's knee with cheerful steps. Its small head arched towards Jiujiu, which made Auntie Wang very surprised.
She had seen countless cats, but it was rare to see a cat as spiritual as Jiujiu. If it wasn't for the fact that this cat looked ordinary and was a domesticated breed, she would have suspected that this cat was some rare object.
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't want to say more, and that the topic had been changed, Auntie Wang was relieved and continued to talk with Jiujiu.
For half a month, Auntie Wang came to Jiujiu's place every day after dinner to find Jiujiu, which annoyed Jiujiu to death. Auntie Wang came every day to find something to talk about, either something to talk about or something to talk about. She didn't have the habit of beating around the bush, so she didn't want to listen to this at all.
