Hearing Auntie Wang say that Jiujiu would not agree, Li Gui, who was praised countless times by Auntie Wang, revealed a sinister look. She was just a widow, yet she dared to be pretentious in front of him, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.
Auntie Wang saw Li Gui's sinister expression and knew that Li Gui was going to make a move against Jiujiu. If Li Gui made a move against Jiujiu, then she would not gain any benefits. Auntie Wang quickly said, "Official Li, if you really want to get Lu Xiu 'an, why don't you listen to this old woman's words?"
"Auntie, please speak."
Auntie Wang said, "That Lu Xiu 'an had a soft personality before she got married. She listened to her mother the most. If Official Li really wants to marry that Lu Xiu' an, why don't you go find the Lu Family's old couple and talk to her. Their words are definitely more effective than a thousand of mine."
Hearing Auntie Wang's words, Li Gui's expression eased, but his expression was still somewhat impatient. However, it was much better than before. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment before nodding, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Auntie Wang to make another trip."
After Li Gui finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the servant standing beside him. The servant immediately understood and took out a small piece of silver and handed it to Auntie Wang.
The moment she received the silver, Auntie Li's eyes lit up. She muttered that she could not use it, but her hands quickly stuffed the silver into her clothes.
Seeing Auntie Wang's greed, Li Gui smiled and waved his hand, indicating for Auntie Wang to go back.
Auntie Wang received benefits from Li Gui, so how could she not work hard? That night, she went to the Lu Family to meet the Lu Family's old couple.
Because they did not manage to get the Chastity Card House as they had expected, Lu Quanan's marriage was still very difficult. Good families looked down on them, and they looked down on ordinary families. Although Lu Quanan was still young, it was not a good thing to continue like this. Therefore, the Lu Family's old couple was especially worried. In just a few days, they had aged a lot. When Auntie Wang came in, she was really shocked.
"Elder sister, elder brother, how did you become so old after not seeing you for a few days?"
"It's all because of Quan An's marriage." Lu Jinnian's mother sighed worriedly and asked Auntie Wang to sit down.
After Auntie Wang sat down, she took a sip of tea and whispered to Lv Jiujiu's mother about Li Guisheng's request to marry Jiujiu.
Li Gui was now thirty-two years old. Although he was a little old, he had a lot of money at home. Even if he only had a little money, it would be enough for their family to eat. Not to mention, if they were to become in-laws with Li Gui, there would be countless benefits.
At this point, Auntie Wang changed the topic and whispered about how she was ridiculed by Jiujiu when she asked about Jiujiu.
The Lu Family had a cold personality. Other than Lu Quanan, who was their lifeline, they were harsh and cold to everyone else. They did not care if they lived or died. When Auntie Wang said that if Jiujiu married Li Gui, they would get a lot of benefits, Lu Jinnian's father could not sit still, "She's just a woman, what does she know? In the end, women inevitably have to rely on men. Since Great Philanthropist Li likes her, it's her blessing.
Auntie Wang did not expect things to go so smoothly. Her eyes lit up and she immediately encouraged Lu Jinnian's father, "Elder brother, you're so knowledgeable. That Great Philanthropist Li is forthright and generous. If Xiu An marries Great Philanthropist Li, you and I can rest assured. It's just that Xiu An is now focused on mourning for the short-lived Li Chungang. It's really a pity."
When they heard that Jiujiu used the excuse of mourning for Li Chungang to reject Li Gui's marriage, Lu Jinnian's parents felt their hearts ache terribly. The reason why Jiujiu married Li Chungang was because they wanted the chastity memorial arch. Now that they did not get the memorial arch, Jiujiu became disobedient. Most importantly, they had no way to become in-laws with Great Philanthropist Li, and they also could not get the riches and honor that Great Philanthropist Li had. When they thought of this, Lu Jinnian's parents felt their hearts ache terribly.
Although Lu Jinnian's mother was particularly moved, when she thought of how she was forced by Jiujiu to sign the divorce agreement, she hurriedly pulled Lu Jinnian's father, indicating for him to stop talking. She then said to Auntie Wang, "We need to discuss this matter again. Discuss it."
Lu Jinnian's mother's tug clearly reminded Lu Jinnian's father of those unpleasant memories. His face instantly turned ashen, and he stopped talking.
Auntie Wang thought that Lu Jinnian's father had already agreed, but now that Lu Jinnian's mother tugged at him, he instantly stopped talking. Auntie Wang quickly said, "What's there to discuss? It's a good thing that Xiu 'an is marrying Great Philanthropist Li. In the future, she will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Elder brother and elder sister will also be blessed.
Lu Jinnian's parents felt guilty, and no one responded to Auntie Wang no matter how much she said. Auntie Wang was frustrated, but she knew that this matter could not be rushed. Thus, she said a few words casually and left quickly.
After Auntie Wang left, Lu Jinnian's mother hurriedly said to Lu Jinnian's father, "Did you forget that we've already signed the divorce agreement with Xiu 'an?"
Lu Jinnian's father also remembered the contents of the divorce agreement, and his face turned even uglier. However, his mouth was exceptionally firm, "Xiu 'an is just a woman. What would she know? If she doesn't want to marry Great Philanthropist Li, who would she marry? Besides, she's already married twice. It's already a blessing that Great Philanthropist Li is willing to marry her. How dare she be so picky? She really doesn't know what's good for her. Go over tomorrow and have a good talk with her. "
Jiujiu's mother's lungs were hurting from the last time she was scolded by Jiujiu. She did not want to look for Jiujiu anymore. However, Lu Jinnian's father glared at her and flicked his beard. From the looks of it, if she did not go over, she would be given a good beating. Although Lu Jinnian's mother was exceptionally tyrannical in front of Lu Xiu 'an, she was as scared as a little chick in front of Lu Jinnian's father. Now that Lu Jinnian's father was angry, she did not dare to be pretentious. She quickly nodded and agreed, afraid that Lu Jinnian's father would whip her if she was slow.
Lu Jinnian's father's expression only improved when Lu Jinnian's mother agreed.
"Father, Mother, I'm back." Lu Quanan walked in unsteadily with the smell of alcohol on his body. Seeing that Lu Jinnian's father and mother's expressions were a little ugly, his originally unfriendly face instantly sank. He asked loudly, "Father, Mother, who made you angry? Is it that disappointing little bitch?"
Even though Lu Xiu 'an doted on Lu Quanan as if he was her biological younger brother, in Lu Quanan's eyes, Lu Xiu' an was just a little bitch who earned money for him. After Lu Xiu 'an got married and Li Chungang died, Lu Xiu' an would have the reputation of being a jinx to her husband. Lu Quanan felt that he had lost face. Now that Lu Jinnian's parents' expressions were ugly, he used the smell of alcohol to act up.
Lu Jinnian's father also agreed with Lu Quanan's words in his heart. However, thinking that Li Gui had taken a fancy to Jiujiu, if Jiujiu really married Li Gui, they would also be able to take advantage of the situation. He softly advised Lu Quanan, "No matter what, she's still your sister. You're not allowed to say that in front of others in the future."
