No matter what, Li Hong couldn't tolerate Li Baolu. If at the beginning he was just because he wanted to save a little tax, then it was because Li Baolu had become a thorn in his side, a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it!

Li Baolu's eyes looked too much like his elder brother Li Kang, when he stared at him, he would always have the feeling that Li Kang was watching him, which was the most intolerable for him.

Since he was a child, his parents valued his elder brother more, but he thought he was no weaker than his elder brother in any aspect. He didn't have the talent to study medicine, but wouldn't his elder brother not be able to?

So why does my father always look at him with a "why are you so stupid" look?

It was even worse after the exile, the eldest brother was able to be half of the head of the family, but he never said a word to his parents, and the eldest brother even talked to him with the face of admonishing the younger generation. How is he inferior to him?

Both his father and brother and sister-in-law died in the shipwreck. Li Hong was also sad at first, but after the sadness, he felt relieved for a while.

Everyone in the family who could suppress him is dead, and from now on, the sky will be high, and he can do whatever he wants.

Although he is still bound in Qiongzhou Mansion, he has money in his hands and can do a lot of things, so the first thing he did was to find his sad mother and take over the financial power of the family from her.

Li Hong was ambitious, and his grief was suppressed to the minimum. Looking at the stupid niece who was sleeping on the bed, although he didn't like her, even if he wanted to save a blood for his elder brother, he would raise her up.

When he becomes an adult and finds someone to marry, he will be considered as a brother with his elder brother, but who knows that Li Baolu has become smarter, and his eyes are so bright that he is seven or eight times like his elder brother.

Li Hong hated Li Baolu looking at him with those big eyes, which always made him feel like his elder brother was not dead, but came back to life through his silly niece.

Originally, no matter how much he hated him, he just pretended not to see this person, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The new county magistrate exploited too much. For no reason, the tax is twice as much as in previous years.

No matter how much money his father and elder brother left behind, they couldn't afford to spend like this, and what he had to do required a lot of expenses, and he needed money to make profits everywhere, and his body was stretched all of a sudden.

A combination of various reasons led him to make this decision, not to mention that his mother tore his face in front of so many people. Now that they had made it clear to each other, Li Hong naturally no longer concealed his purpose. The family cannot keep Baolu.

Although the money is all on him, he is still anxious, because after the death of his father and brother, he will be the head of the household. When the time comes, the government servants will come down to collect the summer tax. There is Baolu in the family but he does not pay her small tax. He is the head of the household who will be punished. So he had to send Baolu away before the yamen servant came.

Since he can't kill her, then send her to be a child bride-in-law. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with him.

Li Hong looked at his mother with deep eyes, and said: "That is a good family, not criminals like us, but good people, it is Baolu's blessing to marry into his family, mother should think about it before doing it. Decide."

Li Hong glanced at Baolu, and threatened in a flat tone: "Mother can't always look at Baolu, she is going to grow up after all."

Wan's face was ugly, the exiled prisoners and their family members are all criminals, unless they meet a criminal, there is only one way to get out of the criminals.

A man who joins the army and has achieved at least the eighth rank military officer can be converted from criminal status to military status, but this is a desperate struggle, and one person in a hundred may not succeed.

When a woman marries, she will marry a good citizen and follow her husband's nationality, and the child she gives birth to will be a good citizen, and she can leave the place of exile.

But this is more difficult.

Children from good families, no matter how poor they are, would never marry a criminal woman. Those who are not poor prefer to choose young and beautiful exiled officials as concubines. People who are also criminals will not let them be concubines.

So the good family that Li Hong can find must not be a good family, and he doesn't know why he wants to marry a child bride.

Wan Shi would never give Baolu to him, but how long can she protect Baolu?

Just as Li Hong threatened, she can't always be by Baolu's side, there will always be times when she can't see her.

When Li Hong hugged her and left, what could she do?

Could it be possible to kill Li Hong just for Baolu?

And she can't just watch Li Hong cheat Niuniu.

Wan looked at Baolu and thought for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Baolu, grandma will take you out tomorrow, so go to bed early today."

Li Baolu noticed something wrong with Wan's expression, and asked nervously, "Where are we going?"

"Go somewhere far away."

Li Baolu felt even more uneasy.

It is said to be far away, but in fact it is only more than twenty miles away from the fishing village where they are. Baolu's footsteps are slow, and it took Wan Shi nearly three hours to get there with her in his arms.

They set off before dawn, and when the sun approached the mid-heaven, they saw a small fishing village.

This is a smaller village than their fishing village. Looking down from the mountainside, there are only a dozen scattered households, and the distance between each other is relatively long. The village is very close to the sea, and the beach is not far away.

People in this era don't like to build houses near the sea, because there will be various natural disasters that threaten people's lives, but people in this small fishing village don't seem to care about this.

From the information she collected, this area is also a gathering place for exiled criminals, so who did grandma bring her to meet?

It's not like the Li family still has relatives and old friends in the exile, right?

A thought flashed, Wan Shi had already carried her on his back and continued down the mountain, heading towards one of the courtyards with a clear goal.

Li Baolu could only see the high wall made of blue bricks, recalled the layout of the house she saw just now on the mountainside, and then realized that the main building in the yard was just blocked by a few trees, and she could only see There is a courtyard here, but I haven't seen the specific layout inside.

I just don't know if it's a coincidence or the owner's design.

Wan Shi put Baolu on the ground, and nervously pressed the burden on his chest.

Baolu saw her nervousness, so she couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, looking at her with bright eyes.

Wan held her granddaughter's hand, took a deep breath after taking a look at her, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door in front of her.

A vigilant voice sounded from behind the door, "Who?"

Wan Shi was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect someone to answer the door so soon, but he was a little at a loss.

"Grandmother." Baolu shook Wan Shi's hand, and Wan Shi said awkwardly: "Is it Mrs. Qin, my concubine belongs to Li Bo's family, please open the door."

Almost as soon as Wan's voice fell, the door opened from the inside. Li Baolu looked up and saw the woman standing inside the door, and was stunned for a moment.

Her face was like a silver basin, and the corner of her mouth was smiling. Although she was only dressed in gray cloth, her back was straight. Li Baolu felt kind to her when she saw her, and her guard was reduced to the lowest level.

Li Baolu's heart trembled, she knew about her own family affairs, because she had a lifetime of memories and she suddenly regained her sanity, so she was always careful not to show her feet, even to her closest grandmother, Li Baolu also had a certain degree of vigilance.

But looking at this person, Li Baolu was completely unguarded for a moment.

Li Baolu stared at her with wide eyes, obviously very interested in someone with such qualities.

He Zipei saw Li Baolu at the first sight, a small white ball, round eyes full of curiosity, just one glance made He Zipei fall in love with this child.

She raised her head and smiled at Wan Shi: "So it's Mrs. Li, please come in quickly, after five years, are you still in good health?"

Wan's heart felt relieved inexplicably, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, "Fortunately, I don't know how Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are in good health. Last time when I was in charge, I asked me to make pills for Mrs. Qin, but I was always busy. Bring it."

"There are still some pills left by Doctor Li. She has improved a lot after taking it. This time, even if you don't come, we will invite Doctor Li to come again to see how her body is doing."

Wan Shi said bitterly: "I'm afraid I'll be sorry for Madam, I'm the head of the family." Wan Shi choked up for a moment, and forced a smile: "He went out to sea and encountered storms and failed to return. Mrs. Qin will have to find another doctor to see her in the future."

He Zipei's complexion changed, his mouth opened slightly, and he whispered after a while: "It's mine, isn't it..."

Wan Shi shook his head lightly.

He Zipei looked at the little girl she was leading, pondered for a moment and said: "Although Dr. Li passed away, he has a debt of gratitude to my Qin family. If Madam has any embarrassing things, just tell us. We will help if we can."

She only saw Wan Shi once when her sister-in-law gave birth five years ago. Since then, Dr. Li has been taking care of their family. Wan Shi doesn't come to the door easily. This time, she must not only come to deliver medicine, let alone deliver medicine with a child of?

He Zipei respects Li Bo's character, as long as he can help her, he will not be stingy.

Wan Shi was really a little bit speechless, but she turned her head to look at Baolu, she still mustered up her courage and said, "I do have something to ask Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin when I come here this time," she pulled Baolu to her side. Beforehand, she said to He Zipei: "She is my granddaughter, and her parents were involved in the shipwreck. Originally, her parents died, and she also has an uncle, so she can always grow up."

"The concubine is not afraid of my wife's ridicule. I have no way to teach my son. Now there is no place for this child in the family, so I can only entrust her to the outside," Wan Shi said: "She is about the same age as the cousin in the house. If my wife Keep her as a child bride if you can see it, if the family has already arranged for the cousin, you will only be a concubine this time to deliver medicine."

He Zipei's eyes widened in astonishment, and it took him a while to look down at the little girl leaning against Wan's lap.

The little girl was also obviously surprised, and she was looking at her grandmother with wide eyes, with tears in her eyes, obviously reluctant to part with her.

Looking at those wet eyes, He Zipei couldn't help but feel soft, and the refusal he was about to say also paused for a while, before saying: "This matter is so important, I can't make the decision, Madam, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay tonight, wait I'll give you an answer after discussing it with my family."

Seeing that she didn't reject her outright, Wan was overjoyed.

This time she came here with only one out of ten thousand hopes, if this road doesn't work, she can only think of other ways.
