9 008: Are you crazy_1

Li Shu adored her daughter, Li Xianxian, immensely.
Li Xianxian was quite remarkable herself. Not only had she attended university at a very young age, she had also accomplished a lot.
However, Li Shu had always been unable to comprehend why Li Xianxian, a daughter aptly compared to a treasure from heaven, would feel intimidated by Ni Yang, who was no better than mud.
How could Ni Yang possibly influence Li Xianxian?
But, since it was something her daughter had instructed, she was naturally going to do it flawlessly.
Now she had successfully wed Ni Yang off to a eunuch and even made a profit from it, Li Shu was extremely pleased.
“Is it done?” On the other end of the call, Li Xianxian narrowed her eyes before asking, “Mom, how did you handle Ni Yang?”
Li Shu looked around as she spoke, “Xianxian, do you still remember your distant cousin, Wang Dazhuang?”
There was a moment of silence on the other line, “Mom, are you implying…”
Li Xianxian had a fairly strong impression of her cousin, Wang Dazhuang.
Wang Dazhuang, who was more than fifty years old, had never married. He had a physical disability, and because of it, his mentality was quite distorted. Often, he would abuse animals. If Ni Yang were married to him, it would be like plunging into a fiery pit. She would never see the light again in her life!
A sinister smile curved at the corners of Li Xianxian’s lips.
Li Shu laughed and nodded, “Exactly, that’s what I mean.”
Li Xianxian continued, “What if she runs away?”
“Don’t worry, with Mom here! That wild girl won’t be able to escape!” reassured Li Shu confidently.
Li Xianxian replied, “Alright, Mom. This matter is up to you! You must keep an eye on her!”
As the cost of phone calls was exorbitant back then, the mother-daughter conversation ended shortly.
Li Shu returned to the Mu family home.
The Mu family was all seated at the dining table, waiting for her to come back for dinner.
“Ashu is back, let’s sit down for dinner,” Elder Mrs. Mu beckoned Li Shu to sit down.
Mu Jinbao pulled out a chair for Li Shu.
At the table, Elder Mrs. Mu turned to Ni Cuihua and deliberately asked, “Cuihua, how old is Yangyang this year?”
Hearing Elder Mrs. Mu’s voice, Ni Cuihua couldn’t help but shudder. If you’ve been oppressed for a long time, you can’t change certain habits overnight.
Ni Cuihua replied, “Yangyang is seventeen this year.”
Elder Mrs. Mu continued, “A seventeen-year-old girl, and yet she sits idly at home all day! When I was seventeen, Jinbao was already three years old!”
In those days, getting married and having children at a young age was common.
Ni Cuihua naively responded, “Mother, why don’t we let Yangyang continue her studies?”
“Study!” exclaimed Elder Mrs. Mu. “Ni Cuihua! You really dare say! Where do we get the money for her schooling? Besides, what’s the use of a liability like her going to school?”
Ni Cuihua added, “But, but Yangyang is still so young, what can she do if she doesn’t study?”
Li Shu stifled her laughter and said, “Sister Cuihua, hasn’t Aunt mentioned it? When she was seventeen, Brother Jinbao was already three years old. I think Yangyang should marry early! Then we, her maternal family, can benefit from it. Otherwise, she’s just wasting food at home.”
Li Shu didn’t bother hiding her intentions in her words.
That’s because Ni Cuihua was just a fool in front of her.
Ni Cuihua burst into fury at that very moment, “Li Shu, our family’s business doesn’t seem to be your concern, an outsider!”
“Slam!”
Elder Mrs. Mu pounded on the table and stood up, her gaze fierce, like a ferocious demon. “Ni Cuihua, you barren wretch! Who’s the outsider? I think you’re asking for it! Jinbao!”
Mu Jinbao immediately rolled up his sleeves and stood up, “You wretched woman, say that again!”
Beating his wife was a regular affair for Mu Jinbao.
Who told Ni Cuihua not to be capable, not making a son!
In the countryside, without a son at home, one is not only despised as ‘extinct’, one also has to be ridiculed and belittled!
Ni Cuihua looked at Mu Jinbao with red eyes, “Mu Jinbao, we’ve been married for seventeen years, how have you treated me these whole seventeen years? You have either beaten me or insulted me every day, you never once had a kind face for me! I’ve borne you five daughters, with you discarding three. Mu Jinbao, you too are the biological father of these children! How could you bear to do it?!”
Nothing matters at all!
Ni Cuihua dares to talk to him like that now!
It must be known that before she would neither hit back when beaten nor retort when insulted!
This cheap woman!
Has she gone mad?
Mu Jinbao’s eyes turned red with rage, veins protruded on his face!
Ni Cuihua knew that this was the prelude to him wanting to beat someone.
Every time Mu Jinbao wanted to beat someone, he put out this ghost-like appearance.
And each time, he would beat her to within inches of her life, his methods were shocking to everyone.
Remembering those experiences, Ni Cuihua shuddered with fear.
Mu Jinbao raised his fist to hit Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua was gripped with terror and momentarily forgot to resist.
“Dad, you’re getting old, it’s easy to wrench your back if you start fighting.” Ni Yang came over, and stood in front of Ni Cuihua, reaching out to grab Mu Jinbao’s hand, and then said, “Dad, Aunt Ashu is right. I’m seventeen years old this year. It’s a waste to sit around at home doing nothing. Better to marry into a good family sooner rather than later. So, I wonder, does Aunt Ashu have some outstanding young men to recommend me?”
Ni Yang trained in fighting arts and taekwondo in her former life, so she has some basic skills in martial arts.
Furthermore, what surprised Ni Yang was that since saving that big official yesterday, her five senses had become a lot sharper than the average person, particularly her strength! It felt as though she had an endless supply of energy!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have held Mu Jinbao’s arm so effortlessly.
Mu Jinbao looked at Ni Yang incredulously.
How is it that this useless creature’s strength could be so great?
His expression was a bit unnatural as he said, “Your Aunt Ashu treats you so well, she would definitely not harm you! Relax, she has introduced you to a good family. Not only is the young man handsome, but his family also has money. When you marry and go there, you can enjoy your life.”
Ni Yang smirked slightly, “Aunt Ashu will not harm me… Dad, you are my biological father, will you harm me?”
He had introduced her to a good family?
A young man?
Hah!
Mu Jinbao sure knows how to tell lies with his eyes wide open.
Seeing Ni Yang like this, somehow made Mu Jinbao feel a bit panicked, especially when Ni Yang said the words ‘biological father’.
It was clear that he was the elder, but it felt as if Ni Yang was the elder.
It was really too strange!
Stammering, Mu Jinbao said, “I, I am your biological father! I, how could I harm you?”
Ni Yang gave a faint smile, releasing Mu Jinbao’s wrist, “Right, you are my biological father. How could a biological father harm his own daughter?”
In the past, she also did not believe that a biological father would harm his own daughter.
Later, the reality told her how ridiculous her ideas were.
Li Shu came over from the other side, smiling and saying, “Yangyang, since you have agreed, then let’s settle this. Aunt Ashu has already spoken to the young man, he will be coming over tomorrow morning. You should dress up nicely, you better not disappoint him!”
Ni Yang looked up to Li Shu, smiling and saying: “Alright Aunt Ashu, rest assured, I promise I won’t disappoint them.”
