Chapter 115: Ye Lulu Taught Madam Meng-Li a Lesson
After Ye Lulu said this, she sneered and continued, “Tell the officials that we picked up a baby and it didn’t belong to anyone.”
“Ye Lulu, what are you doing!” Madam Meng-Li wanted to get out from under the blanket anxiously. Her face darkened. “Are you crazy?! My Niu Wa has grandparents and parents. You said that he’s an orphan? Are you crazy?!”
Ye Lulu was waiting for this sentence. Guan Chibei took Niu Wa from her. She freed her hand and sneered again. She turned around and slapped Madam Meng-Li’s face.
This loud slap woke the three sleeping babies up. They looked at Ye Lulu with wide eyes.
Ye Lulu gave a neat slap. Then, she laughed coldly and said, “You also know that Niu Wa has grandparents and parents. He belongs to the Meng family? Then what right do you have to carry him to my house and ask our Guan family to provide for him?”
“And you said that there’s nothing inappropriate? Do you know what’s inappropriate now?”
Ye Lulu laughed.
Madam Meng-Li was stunned. She did not expect to be slapped by Ye Lulu. Moreover, she did not hold back at all. The left side of her face immediately swelled up. It was very painful.
Forget about the pain. Madam Meng-Li felt suffocated. She was about to scold Ye Lulu for slapping her when she choked on Ye Lulu’s words.
Thus, Madam Meng-Li was slapped hard on the face and remained speechless under the blanket.
Ye Lulu continued to teach her a lesson. “You make it sound good. You want to go through confinement together at my house? Aren’t you just eating my Guan family’s food and drinking my Guan family’s water? Do you want our Guan family to help you take care of your son? You’re a daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Why must our Guan family take care of you? Then don’t you feel that it is suitable for our Guan family to eat and drink from your family as well?”
“Of course not. Our Meng family doesn’t have anything. Your Guan family has food and drinks.”
Madam Meng-Li was not entirely bad. She really did not know why her brain was stuck in this line of thought and logic. She could even say such a thing now.
“Suitable, my a*s.”
Ye Lulu opened her mouth and said. Then, she raised her hand and grabbed Madam Meng-Li’s hair. She showed no mercy and directly pulled Madam Meng-Li’s upper body towards herself in a standard fighting posture.
Ye Lulu looked straight into her eyes and sneered.
“Do you want me to slap you again to help you calm down?”
“There are more rich families in the city who have food and drinks. Why don’t you carry your son to their houses?”
“Have you thought it through? Did you give birth to a child and then lose your brain?”
“Officials have the warmest and most stable residences. There will be food and water at regular timings. All the men can help you with your work. Carry your son to the officials and go through confinement with the county magistrate.”
As soon as Ye Lulu said these mocking and sarcastic words, Madam Meng’s eyes widened and her body trembled. Go through confinement with the county magistrate?! How was that possible?!
Farmers were naturally afraid of officials. When Madam Meng-Li heard about the county magistrate, she immediately cowered.
However, Ye Lulu’s words finally cleared her mind.
Ye Lulu turned around and said to Guan Chibei, “Carry the child to the Meng family and do as I say. Also, help me bring a thin blanket and place it by the bed.”
It would be convenient for her to get off the bed later.
When she suddenly turned around, her face was cold and stern. Her smile was mocking, and her clear eyes were sparkling. She looked a little cold and threatening.
Guan Chibei’s eyes flickered when he saw her expression. He could guess what she was going to do with the blanket and roughly understood the situation.
