Splendid Sweet Garden

Chapter 125
While Zhen Tian was busy dealing with Yu Qiao's trick, the Li family was not at peace. Chen Erni fainted and never woke up.

But Zhang Mazi's final confession, as well as his escape, also left Chen Erni alone to bear the gossip about the previous incident.

Rumors are always the most hurtful. The Li family stayed far away from them when they had good friends in the village. Even a promising child like Li Qiu couldn't stop everyone's contempt.

For so many years, Qingshan Village has never seen a man committing adultery at home, and judging from Zhang Mazi's tone, the two of them have been doing this for many years.

The whole village would be ashamed to say this, so naturally no one would want to continue contacting the Li family.

Li Chun was originally just a person who could only show fierceness on the surface, but this time when he encountered such a thing, he also stayed at home, not daring to go out to face other people's eyes.

As a daughter-in-law, Zhang Fenghua went out these days, but everyone pointed at her. Fortunately, she was a daughter-in-law, but it was actually okay, after all, she was an outsider.

These days are the most painful for Li Xia. He wanted to plot against Zhen Tian, ​​but his mother made a fuss about it, and her father collected all the jewelry she had accumulated and gave Zhen Tian a loss.

She hated Zhen Tian so much that her teeth itch, but now that everyone in the village was looking at her and pointing fingers, she didn't dare to do anything else, so she could only keep it in her heart, and only waited for a chance to retaliate in the future.

And the thing that scares Li Xia the most is not that Zhen Tian was not harmed by their mother and daughter this time, nor that her mother has become what she is now, without her reputation.

But people in the village began to say that Li Xia was not Li Zhong's child, because Li Xia and Li Qiu were twins.

Originally, there was some legend in the village. Li Qiu has been studying all these years, so his temperament is naturally different from the children in the village, and even more different from Li Zhong, who faces the loess all day long and his back to the sky.

She was very afraid that she was a child born of adultery. She just looked at her face in the mirror for so many days, and she was afraid that she would really see the appearance of Zhang Pocky on her own face.

However, the folklore in the village is strict and precise. They also said that if Zhang Mazi had no pockmarks, he would have looked very good when he was young, and they also said that Li Qiu and Zhang Mazi were somewhat similar when they were young.

More people said that Li Xia looked exactly like Zhang Mazi, they couldn't see it before, but now they look more and more like him.

Although her mother's adultery was not a pretty thing, but this time Chen Erni wanted to commit suicide to save it, there was always a way to clear it up.

But if she is the child of adultery, not to mention that Li Xia himself will not want to marry into a good family, even Li Qiu's fame will be taken away.

Because Dakang clearly stipulates that those with unclean family backgrounds cannot take the imperial examination. The so-called clean family background means that there has been no crime in the five generations.

Although things like mother's adultery are counted, at least Li Zhong divorced him and married a woman from a clean family as his wife. This matter can still be smoothed over.

What's more, Chen Erni committed suicide, which can be saved, but if she was fundamentally not a legitimate child, then this matter would not be fair, not only Li Qiu, but several generations of the Li family may not be able to take the imperial examination in the future.

What a big deal, Li Xia was also afraid that she was really an adulterer's daughter, so seeing Li Zhong still taking care of Chen Erni, the village said that Li Zhong was affectionate and righteous.

She couldn't take it anymore, if she continued to be discussed like this, her life experience would be confirmed, so Li Xia wanted other things to happen in the village, so that everyone would not continue to stare at the previous things.

In fact, there is another solution to this matter. If Chen Erni dies, this matter will pass away slowly, because no one will remind people of this matter.

It's just that Li Xia didn't have the guts to kill someone. Although Chen Erni had been lying down, she was still panting after all!
So Li Xia started to tell Li Zhong to divorce his wife. Li Chun didn't show support for his sister's approach, nor did he come out to speak out against it, as if he didn't know.

In fact, Zhang Fenghua knew that if she was a man like this, she supported her.

It's just that Li Zhong's attitude is very strange. He seems to enjoy the fact that everyone in the village praises him for his love and righteousness. Even if Li Xia persuades him, he doesn't want to divorce his wife.

Anyway, Chen Erni is going to die sooner or later, if he stays with his old wife until he dies, his reputation will be better then, and he can choose a new wife who is more proud and gentle.

Li Zhong, who has always been bullied by his wife and couldn't get a fart with a stick, twisted up with such thoughts, and has never agreed to divorce his wife, so he will continue to take care of Chen Erni.

As a result, the people in this village spoke highly of Li Zhong, and naturally looked down on Li Xia even more, saying that he must be Zhang Mazi's daughter, and that's why he was just as vicious.

Recently, Li Zhong even got the favor of the pretty widow in the village, and said a lot. The pretty widow is only 25 years old, young and good-looking. Seeing Li Zhong take care of his old wife, she also moved her mind.

Li Zhongdu was in his 40s, and he had been suppressed by Chen Erni before, so he couldn't speak.

They just waited for Chen Erni to die, but Li Zhong and Li Xia, father and daughter, were equally cowardly. They both wanted Chen Erni to die, but neither of them had the guts to do it.

Because of Li Zhong's attitude, Li Xia was also cruel. Today, he just found out that Li Changgui was back, so he went to find Li Changgui himself, and asked the head of the Li family to come out and make decisions.

It stands to reason that the relatives of Li Zhong and Li Changgui are so far away that there are almost no relatives. Although the surname is Li, it is also possible to say that they are two families, but there is an ancestral hall of the Li family in Qingshan Village, and Li Zhong can be regarded as a partial relationship. The control of the Li family clan.

So this time, Li Xia really found the joint, but Li Xia made a fuss, but forgot that the current Li Changgui is different from before.

In the past, Li Changgui's family took a lot of advantage by virtue of being Li Zheng, but now they have come to this end, and many people come to step on them.

In addition, Li Xia came to join in the fun, and the two Li families were buried together, but the whole day did not pass.

Zhen Tian listened to Aunt Zhou and Liu Xiaoya talking a lot, and finally knew what happened to the Li family during her busy days.

Listening to Li Xia wanting Li Zhong to divorce his own mother, Zhen Tian thought for a while, of course she would not let Li Xia be happy about what Li Xia was happy about.

How can Chen Erni stay in Li's house forever? Li Zhong doesn't want to divorce his wife, so he can take advantage of it.

Finally, when they reached the gate of Zhou's house, the carriage couldn't go any further, so the three of them got off.

It’s really early to come back today. Just now on the way, Zhen Tian told Zhou’s family the good news, and she will be able to make more money soon. After Aunt Zhou and Liu Xiaoya came back, they simply went to cut the meat and prepared to have a good meal for the family at night. a meal.

As for Zhen Tian herself, after getting off the car, she was thinking about how to make Li Xia unable to achieve her goal, while climbing the hill to go home.
