Started as a poor little girl

Li Xiaoguang stared blankly at the girl at the door, tears dripping unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.

"Second brother, I'm back," Li Lulu said crisply.

She threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, crying out all the suffering and grievances she had endured in the past few months.

This is the original owner's feeling, not that Li Lulu is a crybaby.

Li Xiaoyang and Li Qingping also walked into the yard after hearing the noise. They saw a girl holding the second child in the yard, two of them crying, and a girl was watching on the side with a donkey.

It looked a bit strange. When they walked forward and saw the person in Li Xiaoguang's arms, tears welled up in the eyes of Li Xiaoyang and Li Qingping.

"Lulu, you're back?" Li Qingping and Li Xiaoyang shouted almost at the same time, their voices hoarse.

Li Lulu turned around and looked at them. “Dad, brother, I… am back.” Her voice was hoarse and she was still choking with sobs.

The whole family hugged each other and cried.

"Okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, go see your mother, she is sick," Li Qingping said with a sob.

"Dad, that sister is with me," Li Lulu pointed at Wei Lingheng on the side.

"Okay, eldest and second brother, treat the girl well," Li Qingping instructed.

Li Lulu followed Li Qingping into the room and saw a woman lying on the bed with a pale and bloodless face.

Seeing Li Lulu enter the room, the woman on the bed excitedly wanted to get out of bed. Li Qingping hurriedly supported her, and Li Lulu followed closely behind, holding her hand.

He looked to be in his thirties, with calluses all over his skinny hands and a bit of grey hair.

Li Lulu felt distressed watching this, and the original owner's emotions surged up again.

She burst into tears with a cry of "Wow..." Yue Xiangmei held her daughter in her arms and coaxed her like she did when she was a child, waiting for her to calm down.

The eldest and second brothers brought Wei Lingheng in and served a bowl of porridge.

Old Lady Li is the head of the family, so the second room often doesn't get any food, so having just plain porridge is good enough for them.

Li Lulu took the porridge, but she didn't drink it and put it on the bedside.

"Mom and Dad, big brother and second brother, let's split up!" Li Lulu suddenly said this.

"What, Lulu, what did you say?" Li Qingping looked at his daughter in shock.

The eldest and second brothers had indifferent expressions and said nothing.

Wei Lingheng sat aside and watched Li Lulu's performance.

"Mom and Dad, we have to split up the family. Look at how our family lives, look at what happened to my aunt, and then look at my uncle and his family."

"Your grandma is a little too much sometimes," Li Qingping said weakly.

"Lao Li, are you saying that your mother is just a little too much sometimes? Can you really say that?" Yue Xiangmei said unhappily.

Li Xiaoyang: "You are right, my brother supports you."

"Yes, my second brother also supports it. What grandma did was not excessive. She treated my aunt's family so... Alas," Li Xiaoguang sighed regretfully.

Li Qingping listened without any rebuttal, just listened silently.

"Dad, do you think grandma is just a little too much sometimes? Then have you asked grandma and cousin why I disappeared?" Li Lulu said angrily, her voice rising a degree.

"What? How did your grandma know how you got lost? Your grandma said that you and Zhenzhu went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Zhenzhu said that you said you wanted to pick more in the mountains and she came back first. Isn't that right?" Li Qingping was puzzled. He thought his mother and niece could not lie.

"Dad, why are you so honest? Do you just believe whatever they say?" Li Xiaoyang couldn't stand it anymore. He had advised his father to split up the family, but he was unwilling to do so.

"Brother is right. I don't like grandma and uncle's family anyway." Li Xiaoguang agreed very much with his brother's statement.

"Listen to Lulu, I will listen to Lulu." Yue Xiangmei touched Li Lulu's head lovingly.

"Dad, do you think I was lost? No, I was sold by grandma. It was Paihuazi who told me."

Li Qingping looked at Li Lulu in disbelief, "Lulu, do you know what you are saying?" He excitedly reached out to pull Li Lulu up.

"Old Li, what are you doing? Listen to Lulu and then I'll tell you about our business. Old man, pull your father aside to avoid scaring your sister," Yue Xiangmei scolded Li Qingping harshly.

"That day, I was washing clothes, and Sister Zhenzhu said she was going to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, and she dragged me along. After I hung up the clothes, I wanted to go to the field to tell you, but Sister Zhenzhu wouldn't let me go, saying it wasn't far and I'd be back soon. So I went. When I got to the mountain, before I picked much, Sister Zhenzhu said she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the back of the bushes to relieve herself. She didn't come out for a long time, so I went to the back and found she was gone. I thought she had gone home, so I went down the mountain to look for her, but she was caught by the beetle just as I got down the mountain. Don't you think it's such a coincidence?" Li Lulu told everything in detail.

"Also, I ran away several times after being caught. The first time they caught me and scolded me, saying that our grandmother was so cruel that she sold her own granddaughter for two taels of silver. Dad, how could I lie to you?" Li Lulu looked at this useless old father and didn't believe it.

She lifted up her sleeves, revealing scars of all sizes on her arms. She then lifted up her trouser legs and said, "Dad, can I still lie about this? I got myself covered in scars just to defame grandma, and I still have many more on my body."

Yue Xiangmei was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Her elder and second brothers who were watching on the side were also crying loudly. Wei Lingheng saw that their eyes were red.

"Impossible, no way, how could mother do this to my child! No way... No way" Li Qingping was almost going crazy.

"Li Qingping, I tell you, if you don't go to your mother to separate the family property tomorrow, we will get divorced and I will take the children away. I have tolerated it before because of the children, but now your mother has done something worse than an animal. You better give me a definite answer." Yue Xiangmei was angry and heartbroken.

After being married for so many years, the mother-in-law has been making trouble every other day and has always been concerned about the first wife. The second wife can't even get enough to eat, and her husband doesn't do anything. She has had enough. She has made a fuss before, but the mother-in-law said that if they divorce, the child must be left behind. How could she bear it? Now she can't stand it anymore.

"Xiangmei, can't I split up the family business tomorrow? Don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry," Li Qingping said in a humble tone.

"I hope you can keep your promise. Xiaoyang Xiaoguang, take your sister and that girl to rest. It's late. Let's talk tomorrow."

The next day, Li Lulu was awakened by a loud noise.

"Hey, everybody, come and give us some judgement! Mr. Li listened to his wife's instigation and ignored his mother. Fellow villagers, please help an old woman like me! Wuuuuu..." Old Mrs. Li sat on the ground and cried loudly, attracting the villagers to stop and watch the fun.

"You are so good, Lin Chuncao, you are the first to complain." Yue Xiangmei was so angry that she wanted to raise her hand to hit Mrs. Li.

Her illness got much better after Li Lulu returned home. She was suffering from a mental illness to begin with, so she naturally recovered after Li Lulu came back.

"Alright, alright, what are you doing? Second brother, keep a close eye on your wife and your old wife. Sit up. Do you want to make a fool of yourself in front of the villagers like a shrew?" Grandpa Li walked to the gate with his hands behind his back and scolded.

"What are you guys doing so early in the morning?"

Li Lulu hid behind the crowd and asked her eldest brother to block her, and then asked her second brother to go and get the head of the village. After everything was arranged, she hid and watched the show to see how her dramatic grandmother performed.

Li Lao Da and his family also came out of the room. Li Zhenzhu looked at her grandmother who was throwing a tantrum with disgust, while playing with her hair.

"Wuuuu... Old man, your second son said he wanted to divide the family property. When I asked him why, he denied it and just kept looking at his wife's expression. I looked down on Yue Xiangmei from the beginning, but you, old man, agreed to marry her. What's going on now?" Old Mrs. Li was still lying on the ground and rolling around.

Li Xiaoyang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to step forward to say something, but Li Lulu grabbed his hand and shook her head.

"Brother, don't worry. Wait for my second brother to bring the village head here, and I will deal with grandma. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done." Li Lulu gently comforted her brother.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, little sister."

"Boss, boss' wife, get your mother in." Mr. Li glared at Mrs. Li lying on the ground angrily.

"Dashan, what's going on? What is your sister-in-law doing so early in the morning?" Li Qingsong walked out of the crowd slowly with his hands behind his back.

Li Lulu sighed that these old grandfathers are all in good health and look strong and robust, which may be the result of their daily exercise doing farm work in the countryside.

"Wow, wow, wow... Big brother is here! Big brother, you have to make the decision for me! The second son's wife is instigating my second son to separate the family property." Old Mrs. Li's eyes were filled with tears, and she pretended to be very pitiful.

"Is this the case with the second brother's family?" the village head asked Li Qingping.

Everyone knows that Li Qingping is an honest and loyal person, but everyone also knows that he is too foolishly filial and listens to his mother. Everyone thinks that he is being instigated by someone to do this these days.

"No, no, my wife didn't instigate me. I wanted to divide the family property on my own. I just wanted to divide the family property so that my wife and children can have more to eat instead of having all the food go into the stomachs of my eldest brother and his family," Li Qingping said indignantly.

He thought it over clearly at night. Although that was his mother, she had never been good to him, and was even worse to his wife and children. It was even more intolerable that she sold her own daughter for the sake of her eldest brother's son's marriage. He had to protect his family.

"What are you talking about? Don't you have enough food to eat now? How dare you talk like that, Old Man?" Zhu Qing cursed.

"Sister-in-law, do you think we are all blind? Look at your children and you, they are all fat and strong from eating so much. Then look at ours," Yue Xiangmei retorted angrily.

"Second brother's family, please don't talk nonsense. It's because my son is capable and he married a rich girl. That's why our family is richer than yours." Zhu Qing looked down at Li Qingping and his family with disdain.

"Wow, wow, wow...my aunt is so capable! My cousin is so powerful. If that rich lady knew about the true face of your family, I wonder if she would kick my cousin out." Li Lulu said as she squeezed out of the crowd.

Li Xiaoyang followed closely behind, while Li Lulu clapped in the front and stood in front of her parents, looking at her grandmother and her uncle's family calmly.

When Li Zhenzhu saw Li Lulu, she staggered with fright and looked at Li Lulu in disbelief. She was very scared because she heard that if one was caught trafficking in people, one would go to jail. So when no one was paying attention, she retreated back to her room.
