She hoped her family could sense her situation and co to reclaim justice for her.
Li Zhihao unloaded the items from the ox cart and had to busy himself in the estate, saying he would co here for lunch at noon.
Brother Lai sneakily followed behind Li Zhihao’s ox cart into the village, secretly entering the Ye family’s ho after Li Zhihao had left.
First, he went to the smaller house to look, softly calling out his elder sister’s na at the door, and only after soone else answered, could he enter the Ye family’s house.
"Sister, sister, where are you?"
Hongji and Mrs. Li heard the noise in the courtyard and walked out from the inside.
Aunt Lai, hearing her brother’s voice, felt a surge of joy, truly her family had a tacit understanding, and thus she called out loudly, "Little brother, I’m here, I’m staying here."
Aunt Lai had a serious illness and massive bleeding, blood nourishnt was only a matter of days, and at this ti she still couldn’t get out of bed, her loud speaking was just enough for people outside to hear.
Brother Lai heard his sister’s weak voice, which was not her usual aggressive tone at all!
He felt a pang in his heart, had sothing happened to his sister? But this wasn’t the dicine for his sister, had she been discovered, beaten, and monitored?
This was terrible; he still hoped his sister would snatch the inheritance so they wouldn’t have to work like farrs.
He also saw Hongji and Mrs. Li, rely nodding at them as he rushed into his sister’s room.
Seeing Aunt Lai’s brother, Hongji and Madam frowned; today, they couldn’t let this brother and sister ss up their eldest daughter’s affairs.
They needed to find a way to get rid of Aunt Lai’s brother and prevent him from coming today.
Hongji thought of this, gave Madam a reassuring look, and went out to make arrangents.
"Sister, what happened to you?" Brother Lai entered the room, slling the strong scent of blood, thought that these were the few days every woman has, and felt a bit relieved.
"Little brother, you ca, I..., woo, the old witch caused my child to be miscarried!" Aunt Lai cried for her pitiful situation.
"What happened? Did sister not succeed? How did she hurt you again?"
Brother Lai wasn’t calling the elder aunt now; the interests split between the two families, his elder sister and elder aunt had now beco enemies, so naturally, he stood on his elder sister’s side.
"Hmph, the old witch didn’t end up well either, she’s also sick in her room now, my heart aches for my child that was lost, the old witch didn’t die!"
Brother Lai fell silent hearing his sister’s words, both were family, fighting desperately for profit, eventually both were injured, who would benefit from this?
Seeing that the Boss intended to hold a celebration today, with two sick people at ho, did they still have the heart for festivities?
"Sister, is your family holding a feast?"
Aunt Lai wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and then looked up at her brother, "Their oldest daughter has a matchmaker coming to present the dowry today!"
"Daya? Which family’s son? Wasn’t it agreed that they disagreed?" Brother Lai hadn’t expected to have missed out on so much information.
Aunt Lai’s expression turned venomous as she harshly said:
"I’ve been ill these days, just now I asked the maid and found out it’s the new son-in-law presenting the dowry, definitely has climbed up to nobility, otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed so quickly."
"Where’s your brother-in-law? Why haven’t I seen him? Did he agree?"
Aunt Lai bitterly glanced at that room, she had been hard so grievously yet no one had sought justice for her, the previous affection was rely because she was his breeding tool.
"Hmph, in his eyes, his granddaughter is just rchandise, now he’s still drowning his sorrows in drink!"
Brother Lai sighed, this really was two won fighting, and in the end, neither ended up well.
"Sister, don’t think too much, just focus on recovering, we can’t act recklessly now, our situation isn’t good... just bear with it for now!"
Aunt Lai had, of course, considered this issue, just felt unwilling to accept it.
"Little brother, can’t you make a scene here for my sake? Make everyone including those who ca for the marriage proposal know, let their children end up not well too!"
Brother Lai shook his head and said, "Doing so might feel good temporarily, sister, have you thought about the consequences? If we brothers can’t work in the estate anymore, what will we do then?"
Aunt Lai’s expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing this, she had thought it over a thousand tis, hoping her family would seek justice for her, only to find that they lacked the strength.
"Little brother, I understand."
Brother Lai really didn’t want to linger here longer, "Sister, take care of yourself, as long as you recover, there will be opportunities later, just be afraid now that the elder aunt’s daughters would co to trouble you, you have to endure whatever they say."
