Chapter 887 Extra Story: Mrs. Li
As the magistrate of Yunxi County, Fang Yuan couldn't leave the yamen easily. In order to prevent emergencies, he had to rest in the back mansion of the yamen even at night.

Although Li Mingyue really wanted to go back to live in Lijia Village, she was reluctant to leave him alone in the county government office, so she lived in the county government office most of the time, but every month she took time to go back to her mother's house for a few days.

On this day, she took her son back to her natal home for a short stay.

The carriage had just driven into Lijia Village, and sitting among the crowd basking in the sun at the entrance of the village, a woman greeted her loudly: "Oh, our magistrate's wife is back."

This is not a greeting, it is obviously showing to others that she has a good relationship with the magistrate's wife.

The country people have never seen much of the world, and the county magistrate is a great official in their eyes, and the magistrate's wife is naturally very honorable, and many people rush to curry favor.

Li Mingyue didn't like to show off the title of Madam Magistrate, but this person was a close relative of the old Li's family, even Li Mingyue's elder, so she couldn't ignore her.

She had no choice but to lift the curtains of the car in embarrassment, and said, "Ma'am, you are basking in the sun... I will come back to see my parents. The child is hungry and rushing home for dinner. Let's go first. Come home when you have time." Let's play..."

The woman said with a hearty smile: "Okay, okay, go back quickly, don't starve the child."

Just as Li Mingyue was about to put down the curtains of the car, she suddenly saw an old woman with gray hair sitting in the corner behind them, and that person was staring straight at her.Sensing her sight, the old woman quickly lowered her head again, and turned her head to the side in a panic.

Li Mingyue took a closer look, and the fence had already driven away in the carriage.

The old woman looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Li Mingyue thought about it all the way, and when she returned to Li's house and saw Mrs. Liu, she suddenly remembered that that skinny old woman was either Mrs. Li or who.

It's just, how did she become like this... She was so skinny that she almost lost her shape, it was only about four or five years ago, she seemed to have aged several decades.

Seeing that her daughter's expression was a little weird, Liu asked with concern: "Yue'er, what's wrong?"

Li Mingyue shook her head, "Mom, I just saw that old lady at the entrance of the village... She changed so much that I almost didn't recognize her, I just remembered when I entered the house."

Hearing her talking about Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu also sighed, "She is having a hard time now. A few years ago, your uncle made a fuss about splitting up the house and land, and then they sold all the house and land they got. The whole family has moved away, and I don't know where they have moved. Anyway, they haven't been back these years.

There are only the old couple left in the family, and Li Kang, who doesn't distinguish between five grains, has no labor force at all.How could life be easier then... I heard that the old couple went to the town to beg every market, so they didn't starve to death..."

Li Mingyue couldn't help but sigh a little when she heard this, but it was just a sigh... A poor person must have something to hate, and she couldn't feel any sympathy for this person.She will never forget that Mrs. Li took her life on her body, and the little girl who was the original owner died in her hands...

She asked Liu Shi again, "Does my father know about this?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "I live in a village, how can I not know... Every time they go to the street to beg, your father will ask someone to put a few copper coins in their bowls."

Knowing Li Mingyue's dislike for the old couple, Liu quickly explained: "Don't blame your father, even if they are wrong, they are the parents who gave birth to him and raised him. You can't ask your father to watch them starve to death. ...

Your father is not confused, his little affection for them has faded long ago, and now he can take care of them a little bit out of benevolence and conscience.

Just pretend you don't know about it, and don't ask him, don't embarrass him. "

Li Mingyue nodded. After so many years, the hatred in her heart has long faded.I can't let go of it all the time, and it's just not worth it for the little girl of the original owner.Now that the villain has received such retribution, the little girl of the original owner knows about it, so she should be able to rest in peace.
