“This is already very good! My fourth daughter is really capable!” Old Madam Li said happily.

Li Gui looked at her third brother, Li Tao, and asked, “Xiao Tao, how are you? Is everything alright?”

In the past, Li Tao was the only one in the Li family who cared about her. The two of them were about the same age and he used to let her eat first if there was any nice food. She had always remembered how nice he was to her. Before she came to the capital, she was still concerned about whether he had gotten himself a wife.

Li Tao said with a long face, “I’m not doing well at all! Back when you got a divorce, you left without a word! Zhang Qian came to our house and took all the valuable things! I don’t have money to get married! I’m already so old but I’m still single! I can’t even find a job!”

“And us! Elder Sister, you don’t know what everyone in the surrounding villages says about me! No one dares to marry me! Even Eldest Brother’s two daughters are going through the same thing! Whenever the Li family’s daughters talk about getting married, everyone avoids us!” Li Juan said as she wept.

As she spoke, the Li family members also started to wipe away their tears. All of them blamed Li Gui for the difficulties they faced. When Li Gui heard these from both the elder brother who used to dote on her as well as her younger sister, she felt very affected and began to wonder if she had left in too much of a hurry back then and left behind a bad reputation which had a detrimental effect on her family.

Qiao Mei smiled mockingly and said, “If a man can’t get a wife, he can still say that it’s because his family doesn’t have money. How can a girl be unable to get married? Why don’t you say that it’s because you’re asking for too many betrothal gifts?”

Old Madam Li’s face immediately paled. Qiao Mei was spot on. However, everyone in the countryside did the same thing. They would ask for betrothal gifts when they marry off their daughters so that there was money for their sons to get married. The Li family had asked for an exorbitant sum of 1,000 dollars as a betrothal gift and no one was willing to fork out such a large sum of money.

Zhao Hong’s two daughters were only 17 or 18 years old, so they still had time. However, Li Juan was already 28 years old this year and was still single! In a few years, she would be seen as an old maid!

If she was good-looking, then there was still some hope for her. However, her whole face was covered in acne and freckles. Everyone in the surrounding villages called her an ugly and nasty woman! None of the men wanted to marry her!

“What do you know! This is what everyone does! When your mother married your father, we used the betrothal gift to let our eldest son get married!” Old Madam Li said.

“Then you can’t blame my mother. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for asking for too much. Everyone out there is afraid of getting involved with your family, that’s why they refuse to marry the Li family’s daughters,” Qiao Mei said.

“How can it be unrelated to your mother! If not for your mother’s divorce! Our family will definitely be able to find Li Tao a wife!” Old Madam Li said as she held on to Li Tao.

“Is that so? The people who snatched your things are Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong, and they are now standing right in front of us, aren’t they? How can you blame my mother for this? If you are so affected by what happened back then, why have you come to the capital with the Zhang family? Can it be that you have made a deal among yourselves?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

This last statement was like a wakeup call for Li Gui. She had thought that it was a coincidence that these two families had turned up together, but now it seemed that everything was premeditated! They were all here for her money!

The Li family members were all stunned to hear that. They had never thought about this matter this way and did not even dare to blame the Zhang family for it. At that time, it was not as if the Li family did not try to seek revenge on Zhang Qian, but Zhang Qian was a strong man and the young widow also had many brothers. They could not beat the Zhang family at all.

“It seems that you don’t really care much about my mother. In your hearts, my mother isn’t even half as important as the Zhang family,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Tao stood up from his seat with a whoosh. He ran over to Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong and started to beat them up fiercely. As he hit them, he shouted, “I’ll avenge Fourth Sister now! I’ll kill these bastards!”

The rest of the Li family members also did the same and a fight erupted. Li Gui and Qiao Mei sat at the side and looked at them quietly. This was the Li and Zhang families which Li Gui knew well.

It was not until Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong were beaten up badly that Qiao Mei yelled out to stop the fight and said, “Alright, that’s enough. This is a new shop and bloodshed is bad luck. Don’t bring me bad luck by fighting here!”

“Fourth Sister, we really miss you. The Zhang family and us are irreconcilable! If it’s not because they came to our house some time ago and said that they had a way to find you, we wouldn’t have all made a trip to the capital. We only did all this because of you!” Li Tao said.
