Chapter 350 The Secret of Hua
Li Mingyu held the small purse, not knowing how to refuse, for fear of making Li Mingxia unhappy. However, she felt that Sister Mingxia had already helped her too much, and if she continued to ask for more, wouldn't it be a bit too ungrateful?
"As long as you stay the same as you are now, how much money can't you earn back? Just pay me back slowly when your life gets better. Don't be polite with me. I will be unhappy if you continue to be like this." Li Mingxia touched Li Mingyu's head and said with a smile.
Who doesn’t like a well-behaved little sister? I am no exception.
Li Mingyu is well-behaved and sensible, obedient and motivated, and most importantly, he is not greedy and knows how to repay kindness. This makes him a trustworthy person for Li Mingxia.
"I will work hard! Sister Mingxia!" Li Mingyu held the small purse tightly and said firmly!
"Okay, okay, how can I not believe you? Go home and change your clothes quickly. The earlier we go, the earlier we can come back." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
Li Mingyu agreed and ran back to his home to change clothes.
Soon, Li Mingyu ran back, and the group set off happily.
The small teahouse that Li Mingxia and Hua had agreed to meet at was right at the entrance of the town, and there was only one such place, so Li Mingxia was not worried about going to the wrong place.
After making an appointment with Zhang to meet at the bakery in the town, Zhang took Li Mingqiu, Li Mingdong and Li Mingyu to buy things. Li Mingxia gave Zhang twenty taels of silver. At this moment, she was not worried that Zhang would be reluctant to spend it. Anyway, if Li Mingxia found out that Zhang was reluctant to buy what she should buy, she would still spend money to buy it.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hua Shi arrived. He was wearing thin clothes and did not look very well.
Li Mingxia ordered a pot of hot tea and a plate of pastries. After asking, he found out that this small teahouse also sold hot soup noodles, so he ordered two bowls and asked the waiter to bring an extra bowl of hot soup.
"It's cold, eat more to keep warm, it's my treat."
"I've already eaten this morning, so you don't have to be so polite Mingxia."
Hua was very tactful. She did not act arrogantly towards Li Mingxia just because Li Mingxia was polite or because she felt that Li Mingxia owed her a favor because she had sent a message to Li Mingxia.
Li Mingxia glanced at Hua and pushed her bowl towards her.
"Aunt, just eat. I've been walking all the way here and have almost digested what I had in the morning. I'm hungry now." As Li Mingxia said this, he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and picked up a handful of noodles and started eating.
Seeing her like this, Hua was no longer polite. He put an egg and a few slices of meat in the hot soup. The noodles were also white flour noodles. Hua had not eaten such delicious food for a long time. Once he started eating, he couldn't stop.
"Aunt, who brought up this matter?" Li Mingxia lowered his head and talked to Hua while eating noodles.
"I." Hua paused and said it without hiding anything.
Li Mingxia raised her eyebrows. She had thought of it a long time ago. Li Dalang would never be able to come up with such a plan. There must be someone behind the scenes. But looking at the old man Li, he really wanted to send Li Zhengxue to school regardless of anything. He probably didn't know the reason behind it. So the only one who could be blamed was Hua.
Li Mingxia did doubt his own judgment. After all, it was Hua who tipped off the person. But what was his purpose? Did he want to make himself owe a favor? So as to get more things?
Moreover, these things can be kept in Hua's own hands and do not need to be handed over to Mrs. Zheng.
Originally, Li Mingxia thought that she had guessed correctly, but she didn't expect Hua to directly admit that she was the one who did it. This made Li Mingxia a little confused.
"Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Li Mingxia said calmly.
Hua Shi didn't beat around the bush. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I want the two hundred taels of silver in Li Dalang's hand, and I also want a divorce."
Li Mingxia was shocked by Hua's words this time. Divorce? Hua actually wanted a divorce? Was it because of Jin's matter? This made sense.
"Good idea, but why should I help you? It doesn't benefit me at all. I don't really feel like I owe you a favor just because you directed and acted in a play yourself, right?" Li Mingxia took a few bites of noodles and found them tasted just average. He put down his chopsticks and slowly began to drink the noodle soup.
Hua Shi still lowered her head and ate noodles. "Even if we don't use this method, Li Dalang will come up with other stupid but disgusting methods to get money from your family. We won't be able to defend ourselves by then. It's better to do this. He will learn a lesson and you won't lose anything."
This is true. If Li Dalang were left to figure it out on his own, he might come up with some disgusting tricks. However, it is not realistic to expect Li Mingxia to help her with just this little thing.
"I'll give you ten taels of silver, and we'll be even. Just a few words, ten taels of silver. No matter how you calculate it, you'll be at a loss, aunt." Li Mingxia smiled and clearly saw the disgust and resistance in her eyes when he called Hua aunt.
It seems that she really wants to divorce. I didn't realize that Hua was so decisive. I really underestimated her in the past.
If Li Zhengxue's personality could be more like Hua's, he might be a promising person. Unfortunately, he looks like Hua, and his useless personality is exactly like Li Dalang.
"I don't want your money. I want the two hundred taels of silver in Li Dalang's hand, and a formal divorce letter." Hua looked at Li Mingxia with a firm gaze.
"I know a secret, and only I know this secret. It is enough to exchange these things with you." Hua thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said it.
"Oh?" Li Mingxia was a little skeptical that Hua Shi would know any shocking secret.
After all, Hua was just a woman who stayed in the Li family's old house for many years and seldom went out. Even though she was smart, the scope of her activities was too limited. And if this secret was about the Li family's old house, then to be honest, Li Mingxia would not be interested in it no matter what it was, because Li Mingxia didn't care about those people at all.
"Don't disbelieve it. This is absolutely true. I believe in your character. I can tell you about this first and you can decide whether to help me after listening to it." Hua gritted her teeth. She has known this secret for many years and had never planned to tell it to anyone. But who could have thought that this day would come?
