Chapter 182 – Feeling bad (5)

If she wanted to marry Hehua into their family, she needed to get Li Mo to obey her wishes.

In order to easily resolve this with the other brothers, she had to get Li Mo to agree first. Otherwise, this plan wouldn’t work.

And so, during this golden opportunity when Li Yan, Li Shu, and Li Hua were all out of the house, Li Xiangyu had to quickly make her move. It would be difficult to drive Li Man out of the Li family’s home, but she had confidence that she would be able to convince Li Mo to let Hehua remain here.

After all, he had recently been disobedient towards her, so he would have misgivings with refusing her a request from her right now.

Thus, after she had figured out her next moves, she told Hehua to call Li Mo over here. She decided that she would bring everything out into the open for the discussion.

Li Mo entered the hut and saw that Li Xiangyu was sitting stiffly and properly on the bed. He quickly went forward and asked, “Big Aunt, you were looking for me?”

“En.” Li Xiangyu slightly narrowed her eyes and pointed at a nearby stool. “Sit down first.”

Li Mo obeyed her order. “What’s the matter?”

“You should know what I want to talk about.” Li Xiangyu’s brow was furrowed. In a sober voice, she said, “I already mention this matter to you half a year ago. Hehua has a good family background. She’s a good person too. It’s only that her appearance is slightly worse than the woman you purchased. But, it’s not that much worse, right? She just doesn’t know how to dress up. If she dresses up a bit, she’s not ugly. Besides, why do you want a woman that looks so pretty? Other than being able to seduce men, does a woman’s beauty have any other use? Your mom is a perfect example of that.”

“Big Aunt.”

“Older sister.”

In unison, Li Mo and Li Xiangcao called out to stop her.

Li Xiangyu also knew that she had spoken too frankly. She quickly changed her words, “Fine, fine, I won’t bring up what happened in the past. Let’s talk about the present. Li Mo, if you and your brothers like that woman you purchased, I won’t say anything else about this matter. But, as for Hehua, she genuinely likes you and is willing to marry you. What do you think of this idea? Big Aunt will act as the head of the household this one time and help you and your brothers marry her. Once she enters this family, she’ll be the wife and that woman will be the concubine. What do you think?”

Li Mo didn’t even have to consider this question. It wasn’t just him; his younger brothers wouldn’t want another woman to enter their home either. Knowing that his aunt was still angry, Li Mo tactfully answered, “Big Aunt, I can’t make this decision myself. We have to wait until my younger brothers return to discuss.”

Li Xiangyu’s face showed her displeasure. “You’re the oldest one in the family. They should listen to you. If you agree, which one of them will dare to say no?”

“Big Aunt, since you want to put it that way, then I’ll speak honestly,” Li Mo could only say, “You know our family’s condition, Big Aunt. Hehua is such a good woman, we wouldn’t want to waste the best years of her life.”

Li Xiangyu knew that Li Mo was refusing, so she hastily said, “Her parents have already stated that they don’t need a bride price. Also, they’ll provide a dowry. After all, their family only has one precious daughter and hope that she can marry someone she likes. Li Mo, this can be considered a blessing for you and your brothers. If you miss out on this opportunity, you won’t have another one. Haven’t you seen how enthusiastic and capable she is? Once she marries into this family, I guarantee this home will be transformed into something better.”
