Chapter 1651: Earning Small Money Quietly
Shi Li sent Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing away with just a few words.
One of them went to change clothes in shame, while the other one, holding the child and the servants, walked back to the west wing in silence.
She left the west wing and returned to it, and nothing seemed to be wrong.
Shi Li stood at the gate of the yard, looked at the backs of the two people, and yawned tiredly.
"Miss, why don't you go to sleep for a while. I'll call you if there's anything." The maid said with concern when she saw her like this.
"I can't sleep. There are so many things to do today." Shi Li shook her head. "Go get me a basin of cold water. I'll wash my face and wake up."
The Liu family was the richest family in Yangzhou. When Liu's father suddenly passed away, countless people came to mourn him. Whenever someone came, they had to be entertained by the host. In such a large Liu family, she was the only one they could count on.
After all, Shi Li had received so many benefits from Liu's father before, so she thought it would be better for him to take care of these trivial affairs after his death.
As for the rest, we will discuss it after the funeral is over.
After tidying himself up, Shi Li drank another cup of strong tea, and finally perked up a little, and led his people to the main courtyard.
As soon as I got closer, I heard the sound of Liu's mother playing with her grandchildren.
Shi Li: ...
Mr. Liu's death was really not worth it.
Shaking his head secretly, Shi Li continued to walk forward. When he entered the main courtyard, he saw Liu's mother holding a child in her arms, and Wen Shiqing standing beside her with a smile on her face.
The scene of sharing family time is very warm.
Unfortunately, Mr. Liu’s body is still warm.
Liu's mother didn't expect Shi Li to come so early. Her hands holding the child were a little stiff. She looked at Wen Shiqing for help. Wen Shiqing quickly reached out to take the child.
Who knew that as soon as her hand touched the child, the child seemed unwilling to be held by her and started crying "wow".
As soon as her grandson started crying, Liu's mother ignored everything else and hugged the child to comfort him like her own flesh and blood. She even forgot that she had not yet explained the matter of Wen Shiqing and the child to Shi Li, and completely left her aside.
Seeing Wen Shiqing's smug look from the corner of her eye, Shi Li really wanted to roll her eyes at her. That's what she thought, and that's what she did.
Anyway, now she doesn't have to play dumb or play friendly games with her.
"Mother, would you like to go to the front to entertain the guests who come to mourn today?" Shi Li was too lazy to waste time here, so he raised his voice to attract Liu's mother's attention.
Mother Liu held her grandson and coaxed him without raising her head. "You go. I'm not feeling well, so I won't show up."
I didn't see any discomfort on your part when you were holding the baby.
Shi Li didn't want to persuade her anymore, and turned around and walked out. She would only help the Liu family this time, and after a few days, they would talk about their affairs.
Liu Qihan was fine. After changing into mourning clothes, he was busy at the front and even remembered to greet the guests when they came.
But whenever someone asked him what he had been busy with outside all these years, the atmosphere always became awkward.
Shi Li just stood by and listened. Not to mention speaking for him, it was good enough that she didn't say anything to criticize him.
Until the evening, almost no one came to the door.
Shi Li was finally able to sit down and take a break, drink a cup of tea and eat something, but Liu Qihan appeared in front of her again.
"Shi Li! It was my father who pressured me in the past, forcing me to treat my cousin badly! I want to give my cousin a legitimate status and I can't treat her and the child badly anymore."
Shi Li put down the teacup and looked up at him as if he was an idiot.
"Are you sure you want to tell me this in front of your father's funeral hall?" He was really not afraid of making Liu's father so angry that he would come back to life!
Liu Qihan's face flashed with a trace of guilt, but thinking of the difficulties Wen Shiqing had gone through with him over the years, he still said firmly: "Dad has always been suppressing me in the past, now you don't have to say it anymore! I have decided to marry my cousin as my co-wife!"
Shi Li had originally thought of quietly burying Liu's father before discussing the matter, but Liu Qihan was unwilling, so she couldn't be blamed.
"You can marry her or take her as your wife, but you have to give me a divorce letter first." She stood up and looked directly at Liu Qihan, her voice so flat as if she was discussing today's weather.
Liu Qihan's pupils trembled, "What did you say?"
How could he have imagined that the woman in front of him not only did not get jealous or make a fuss, but instead took the initiative to ask for a divorce?
Why does she want to divorce?
Liu Qihan was extremely confident in himself. In addition, Shi Li had never quarreled with him, so he thought that Shi Li must love him to the core and that was why she did not dare to quarrel with him.
What a big misunderstanding!
