Chapter 9 Beating

They slept in the inn at night. Li Yu used spring water to make medicine for the two grandfathers and let them drink it before falling asleep.

Li Rui waited for his sister to finish her work and then said to her: "Go to bed and have a good sleep tonight. Leizi and I will keep watch."

"I'll guard it. You've been working hard for several days."

Li Yu felt sorry for her brother who was busy with everything.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter that I'm a rough guy. Go to sleep."

Li Rui reached out and flicked his sister's forehead, looking at her and smiling lovingly.

"I hate you but you hit me on the head again. If you beat me silly, you can support me."

Li Yu touched his forehead and pouted, then glared at his brother angrily.

"You are my biological sister. My brother has supported you for a long time. The Li family will always be your support and support."

Li Rui looked at his sister with a gentle and doting smile, and his eyes were firm and serious.

Li Yu made a face at him and went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, they packed up their things, fed the horses and prepared to leave.

After leaving the city and continuing to walk south, they were going to the Wang family's family. The Wang family in Langya had been passed down for hundreds of years and had a profound heritage. They went to seek protection and seek connections and resources to make a comeback and find a way out.

Mrs. Wang still rode in a carriage with the two female members of the Gu family. The three women did not interact with each other yesterday.

At this moment, Mr. Wang was sitting with her eyes closed and taking a nap. She got up a little early and felt sleepy.

Lin Yue burned the tea and obediently handed it to Mrs. Wang first, then to her aunt and Aunt Gu.

"Aunt Li, please have tea."

"Where did you get the tea? Did you buy it yesterday?"

Wang asked casually.

"Yu'er went to buy it yesterday and said it didn't taste good. It's still a serious green tea. It's very good."

"Thank you. Take a break when you are tired and ignore me. Are you feeling well?"

Mr. Wang greeted me kindly, with a smile on his face and an appraising look in his eyes.

Lin Yue was a little afraid of Mrs. Li. She nodded, placed her hands on her knees politely, and replied warmly: "I rested all night yesterday, and Yu'er also gave me a medicinal bath. I'm fine. Thank you Aunt Li.

Concern, it’s me who’s dragging everyone down.”

"Don't be too entangled. We are a whole. We are still far away from our destination. We need to unite as one, don't you think?"

Wang's tone was kind and gentle, but there was a hint of beating beneath the words.

"Auntie said yes."

"Our two families have suffered heavy losses, and it is not easy to make a comeback. Now that we are together, we should do our best to contribute. If we are each trying to clear the door, why bother getting together to make things difficult for each other.

Even though you and I are women, we should think about how we can do our best for the team."

Mrs. Wang scraped the foam from the tea bowl with a tureen, blew gently, chatted lightly, and glanced at her lightly. There was no warmth in the cold, and her smile did not reach her eyes. This calm and noble demeanor made Lin Yue feel...

Feeling of oppression.

"yes."

Lin Yue pursed her lips, lowered her head in a respectful manner, and unconsciously grasped the corners of her clothes with her fingers, her nervous fingers trembling.

"It's impossible that you haven't even served tea, water, and food to your elders at home. Then I have to question the Lin family's upbringing."

"Men have to do what men should do, and girls should also be strong and brave. There is no need to cry three times a day. Whether crying can buy money or stability, then I support you to cry hard, what do you think, Miss Lin."

Mrs. Wang looked at her leisurely, "You know how to serve tea and water? You can't use my daughter as a maid of your Lin family."

"Yes, this junior has written it down."

"Be clear about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Pretending to be confused is not necessarily a good thing."

Mrs. Wang beat her openly, you can't use my girl from the Li family.

Lin Yue's face turned red and she didn't know where to move her hands and feet.

"It was my fault……"

"Okay, I am the mother who loves her children. Your aunt and I are different. Your aunt loves you but neglects her own son. I am different."

Wang raised her hand to interrupt her and led her to follow her own pace, leaving Lin Yue without the slightest strength to resist.

"My son and daughter are my eyes and my lifeblood. I will not tolerate anyone who treats my children poorly."

Finally, he paused, glanced around her body, and smiled, "You have an aunt to care for, and Yu'er has a mother to care for, so I won't compete with you for my aunt."

"Aunt, I..."

Lin Yue's face turned red and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

It was as if she had been slapped hard twice on the ear, and her little thoughts were spread out in the sun, clearly visible, which made her so ashamed and angry that she almost just told her to stop thinking about men all day long and do something serious.

Gu Lin did not speak this time. She tried to open her mouth several times but did not dare to say anything. This Li Wangshi is really too powerful. This mouth is like a knife. It can scrape your face off, and she can't resist it.

"From now on, you have to learn from me when it comes to washing clothes and cooking. This team doesn't raise waste, and you are no longer a rich lady. My Li family is also a first-class Duke's mansion. My children are also busy and do everything themselves. We work together.

Only by working together can we overcome difficulties.”

"Yes, I understand."

Lin Yue breathed hard, her body trembled slightly as she felt the pressure of the superior, as if someone had strangled her neck and was being slaughtered. She seemed to have said nothing, but seemed to have made everything clear.

It turns out that this is the ability of the clan wives in the aristocratic family circles. No wonder my aunt is not their opponent. The daughter of the Langya Wang family is really powerful.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xin, come up and it's time to study."

Wang opened the car curtain and shouted outside.

Brother Xu sat on his sister's horse, twisted his body, pouted his little mouth and looked up at his sister pitifully, his eyes seemed to be pleading for mercy.

"Don't look at her. There's no point in looking at her. Come up and read."

Wang has a dignified attitude and does not give Brother Xu a chance to cheat.

Brother Xing jumped off the horse to catch Brother Xu, and climbed on the horse with Xu Yang.

"I didn't test you yesterday. Today I will memorize the books taught in the previous two days. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Come on, Xu Yang also has to study. If you don't understand, recite it first."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and meditated. The three children looked at each other and started to endorse with sighs.

With the sound of Lang Lang's endorsement, everyone felt a little more happy.

After a while, the sound of children crying out in pain came from the carriage.

"I've been memorizing a book for several days and still can't memorize it correctly. What's on my mind, I just stretch out my hand."

Wang took the ruler and hit the boards one by one, so that no one could escape.

Aunt Gu closed her eyes and rested, pretending not to hear. Brother Xing had no way to ask for help and kept wailing.

Li Rui and Gu Lei laughed loudly outside.

"Auntie still has a way. Brother Xing is too naughty, he should be tighter."

Gu Lei didn't care about his younger brother's beatings. Anyone who studies and doesn't get beaten is not considered a punishment. He used to be beaten with military sticks, so where is this?

Accompanied by the lively sounds of children crying and reading, the team marched smoothly.

It was getting dark, so the team did not stop at noon, so they just ate some food brought from the inn to cushion themselves on the carriage.

"The road ahead turns into the mountains. We will go into the mountains to rest at night. We are still far from the next town."

Boss Li said something to the carriage the old man was riding in.

"Just arrange it."

Old Man Li nodded.

The carriage turned around and headed towards the mountain road. It found a flat place to stop and looked around. It was safe and secluded. There was no need to worry about harassment by refugees.

"Stop right here and get off the car."

Boss Li came over first and helped his wife out of the carriage, "Lan'er, you must be exhausted."

"The carriage has thick padding and is very stable and comfortable. I'm not tired. Let the children hunt while we make a fire to cook."

Wang patted her husband's hand and explained.

"Okay, I'll let Brother Rui and Brother Lei go. You sit here and rest for a while."

Boss Li went to settle his father and Mr. Gu again, while Xu Yang took Brother Xu and Brother Xing to collect firewood.

Lin Yue also followed Aunt Gu to take down things and cook for everyone. After being beaten by Mrs. Wang, she didn't dare to be sarcastic anymore, let alone deliberately be lazy, but she was much more diligent.
