Old Master Guo and the others had just come out of the central room when they heard Li Xiaoran's voice coming from the third room.
"Father, I'll apply some herbs on you. They can stop the bleeding!"
Hearing this, Old Master Guo said something.
"Old Master Li must have lost his mind!"
The elders who followed him out also had expressions of deep agreement.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that among the three sons of the Li family, the only one they could rely on was Li Shun and his family.
Unfortunately, Old Master Li was oblivious.
Not only did he want to marry off Li Shun's family, but he also hurt his son's feelings.
In the future, the Li family would be riddled with trouble. Hopefully, at that time, Old Master Li would regret it!
When Zhao Xiu received the news and returned with a large basin of clothes and blankets, the wound on Li Shun's forehead had already been bandaged.
"Husband, are you alright? Why don't we go to town to see a doctor?" Zhao Xiu rushed in and asked worriedly.
Li Shun waved his hand and smiled at his wife. "Xiu'er, don't worry. It's just a superficial wound! Xiaoran has already stopped the bleeding with herbs. I'll be fine after a few days!"
"You're still laughing? You scared me to death! I just washed my things and heard about your injury on the way. I was so scared! Why do you think our family hasn't been doing well recently? Why don't we go to the temple to pray to the gods when we're free? Maybe this bad luck will pass!" Zhao Xiu thought of something and said with a flustered expression.
"Don't worry, the bad luck has already passed! Let's pack our things first! Luo Cheng is coming to pick us up today! Previously, I've already looked for Father and Mother and the people from our third branch separated from them! Father and Mother said that since I was the one who suggested splitting the family assets, they'll give us the things in our house and a bag of sprouting wheat seeds! Anyway, we'll be married off as dowry in the future, so the family won't give us any money!"
Hearing Li Shun's words, Zhao Xiu looked up at him in shock.
Even Li Xiaoqing didn't expect her grandpa and grandma to be so heartless.
Li Xiaoran also had a clearer understanding of their ruthlessness.
"I agreed, but I didn't ask for the sprouting wheat seeds in that area. When I went to invite the village chief previously, I told the village chief and a few men in advance that no matter what my father gives us later, other than our clothes and daily necessities, I will give everything else to our parents. It can be considered a form of filial piety from me as a son! It's just that I never expected things to end up like this!" Li Shun smiled and said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked enlightened.
No wonder when she'd come out of bed and seen her father earlier, she'd thought he seemed a little off. So that was what had happened.
She really didn't expect that a person who was usually meek would become smart once his heart was broken.
No wonder his father was injured. He had tricked Grandpa and Grandma and exposed all their schemes to others.
Li Xiaoqing and Zhao Xiu also widened their eyes and looked at Li Shun as if they didn't recognize him.
Perhaps he was embarrassed by his wife and daughter's gazes, Li Shun cleared his throat.
"I didn't actually want this to happen!"
For some reason, seeing the innocent expression on their father's face, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, over the years, even though the family had worked tirelessly, they had still accumulated a lot of anger.
In the past, he didn't say anything because he thought that they were family.
However, after so many things happened, everyone felt happy when they heard that Li Shun had tricked the Li family.
Even Li Shun was more happy than sad.
After thinking it through yesterday, he already understood that his parents probably didn't have any parental affection for him.
As expected, the test proved him right.
Perhaps because he had vented all his sadness yesterday, but he wasn't so sad today.
When Luo Cheng arrived, he happened to hear Li Xiaoran and her family laughing.
For some reason, Luo Cheng felt a sense of relief amidst the laughter.
He walked in and immediately saw the village chief, Old Master Guo, and a few other elders waiting in the courtyard. Luo Cheng walked in and bowed to them.
"Please come over and bear witness for me, Village Chief and all the elders! This is the marriage contract I drafted. Please take a look first!" Luo Cheng said as he took out a few documents from his sleeve.
Old Master Guo and the other elders didn't hesitate to take the document and read it carefully.
The elders were literate, so they nodded after reading it.
What was written on it was consistent with the news they had heard yesterday. It could be seen that Luo Cheng was also a reliable person and hadn't tampered with these documents.
When the Li family heard the commotion outside, they also walked out.
Li Wei walked at the back. His expression was a little ugly.
Previously, when his third brother suggested splitting up the family, he didn't expect his parents to only want to split his third brother's family.
After the village chief and the others went out, he also suggested leaving the family, but his father rejected him.
If that was how the family split up, what was the difference?
The point was, if they didn't leave, wouldn't what he'd planned earlier be ruined?
He didn't want to be like his third brother, who was bullied by his oldest brother's family all day.
Sr. Li had already calmed down, so his expression was cold when he saw Luo Cheng.
"Sr. Li, I've already come as promised! I've also brought the tiger bone you wanted, but before giving it to you, let's sign the marriage contract first!" Luo Cheng said without looking at the others.
Sr. Li didn't expect Luo Cheng to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment before answering, "Sure!"
"Alright, Sr. Li, take a look at this marriage contract!" Luo Cheng took a document and handed it over.
However, Sr. Li was illiterate, so he could only look at others.
Old Master Guo sighed and came out. Then he glanced at the onlookers outside.
Suddenly, a figure entered Old Master Guo's eyes. He raised his hand and shouted, "Liang Jiabao, come over and read the contents of these marriage contracts to Sr. Li!"
