184 Li Zhaodi Is Crazy

“Li Zhaodi?!”

Xiaoguo looked surprised. If Mrs. Yang hadn’t mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten about Li Zhaodi.

Mrs. Yang let out a long sigh. “To be honest, I heard a bit of commotion earlier when I was home. I thought that Li Zhaodi was here again, so I quickly rushed over.”

“I see. So Li Zhaodi comes here often?”

“Sister-in-law, what’s going on?”

Xiaoguo was getting frustrated. Why was Li Zhaodi still in the mood to cause trouble? She remembered the incident at Li Zhaodi’s house. Didn’t her man bring back a prostitute the last time? Why was she still in the mood to disturb others?

Mrs. Yang didn’t beat around the bush. She slapped her thigh and said, “To put it simply, Li Zhaodi is crazy.”

“…”

Xiaoguo’s jaw dropped in shock. What had happened? She had only gone for a short trip to the capital. How did things end up like this?

“Li Zhaodi’s man took all the money and was going to run away with that prostitute. He had planned to leave Li Zhaodi behind by herself. Do you think Li Zhaodi would take it lying down? She immediately grabbed the couple who were about to run away. After beating and scolding them, they still ran away with the money.”

Although Mrs. Yang hated Li Zhaodi, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“…She doesn’t seem like such a fragile person at heart.”

Xiaoguo felt that something was amiss. Li Zhaodi was a tough character. How could she possibly go crazy over this?

“That’s right.” After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, she looked around carefully. Xiaoguo was amused by her actions. This was her house, and not anywhere else. Why was she being so cautious?

Mrs. Yang patted Xiaoguo on the head. “Stop laughing. Do you still want to hear what I have to say next?”

Xiaoguo immediately shut up and gently slapped her mouth with her palm, indicating that she would stop talking.

Mrs. Yang snorted and continued.

“At first, everyone thought that was the case, but it turned out otherwise. Li Zhaodi’s odd behavior started from the day when her man returned…”

After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, Xiaoguo felt a chill run down her spine. It sounded really terrifying.

After Li Zhaodi’s husband brought back the prostitute, the three of them lived together harmoniously on the surface. However, people heard that the main house was occupied by Li Dahai and the prostitute, while Li Zhaodi was made to live in the livestock shed. Li Dahai regained control over all the finances in the house. It seemed like the prostitute had some control over Li Dahai, and he was always at her bidding. If she told him to go east, he wouldn’t dare to go west. Before that, Li Dahai was afraid of Li Zhaodi, but after listening to the prostitute, he drugged Li Zhaodi with something that made her weak all over. From then on, Li Zhaodi could only move her mouth. In the end, Li Dahai was bewitched by that woman and sold their house to the village. He took all the money and valuables that belonged to Li Zhaodi and ran away.

On the day they ran away, Li Zhaodi kept yelling at them. The two of them had a guilty conscience and accidentally pushed her into a bucket. Seeing that she didn’t struggle, they ran away. Since Li Zhaodi had no strength in her body, she almost suffocated as she was stuffed head down in the bucket. The widow next door heard the commotion and ran over to help her up.

After that, without the influence of any drugs, Li Zhaodi would sit at the entrance of the village or at her doorstep all day long. Whenever she saw someone, she would scold them. She didn’t comb her hair or change her clothes, and she even relieved herself in public. In the end, the village took pity on her and allowed her to stay temporarily in the Li family’s house. Everyday, the villagers would take turns to give her some food so that she wouldn’t starve to death.

In the next few days, Li Zhaodi seemed to have gone crazy. She suddenly put on thick makeup and appeared in front of unmarried men in colorful clothes. Without fail, the first thing she said to them was to ask them to marry her. If they didn’t agree, she would take off her clothes and throw a tantrum.

The unmarried men in the village were so frightened by her that they did not dare to go out alone. They were afraid that she would pester them and claim that they had taken advantage of her.

Qin Anming was very unlucky. He didn’t manage to avoid Li Zhaodi even though he tried his best. As soon as he left the house, he bumped into her.

Qin Anming was bringing the cows out to graze. When he was about to reach the river, he spotted Li Zhaodi standing there. He quickly turned and tried to leave, but unfortunately, Li Zhaodi saw him and rushed over to hug him. At the same time, she kept calling him husband. Luckily, there were many villagers around and they went up to help Qin Anming. However, Li Zhaodi was completely out of control. As soon as she saw any men approaching, she would pounce on them and take advantage of them. The men kept trying to dodge her and as a result, this gave Li Zhaodi an opportunity. She got away from the people around her and hugged Qin Anming tightly, claiming that she was going to die with him.

Fortunately, the villagers who were present at the scene were quick to pull them out of the water. As the river water was quite cold due to the weather conditions, Qin Anming fell ill after this episode.

On the other hand, Li Zhaodi was completely fine, perhaps due to her thick skin. During the period when Qin Anming was lying in bed, she even tried to climb over the wall and harass him on multiple occasions. Qin Anming was extremely bothered by this and as a result, he couldn’t get enough rest and his cold became even more serious.

When Xiaoguo heard everything, she felt extremely conflicted. She didn’t know if she should hate Li Zhaodi or pity her. This woman…

Mrs. Yang had to go home for dinner, so she was in a hurry to get back. Xiaoguo sent the two of them off at the door and returned to the kitchen to cook.

After lunch, Xiaoguo watched as Qin Anming finished his medicine. Then she returned to the room. As soon as she went into the room, she saw the bag that she had brought back and realized that she had yet to give Mrs. Yang her gift.

Xiaoguo patted her head. She had been so focused asking about Li Zhaodi that she had forgotten about the gift.

She will have to send it to her later.

Xiaoguo took out what was meant for the Yang family and set it aside. She still had to pack the rest.

She hung up the clothes that needed to be hung, sorted out the remaining garments, and carried out the laundry. After being away from home for so long, all the bedsheets and pillowcases in the house had to be replaced with new ones. The old ones were taken out to be washed.

The house was cleaned and ventilated by Qin Anming everyday, so other than the bedsheets, there was nothing else to tidy up.

“Mother, are you going to do the laundry?”

Zhuang Zhuang had just come out of Qin Anming’s room when he bumped into Xiaoguo, who was carrying a pile of clothes and bedsheets.

“Yes. Is your uncle asleep?”

Xiaoguo saw Zhuang Zhuang closing the door quietly, so she guessed that Qin Anming might have fallen asleep.

“Yes, yes.”

Zhuang Zhuang nodded and was about to get a basin for Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo quickly stopped him. “There’s no need. Zhuang Zhuang, go take your nap. I can do it myself.”

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head. How could he let his mother wash all the clothes by herself?

“There’s really no need.” Xiaoguo stopped him again. She could wash the clothes herself. There wasn’t that much laundry.

In the end, Zhuang Zhuang was carried back into the house by Xiaoguo. Since she couldn’t chase him away, she could only use force!

Xiaoguo covered him with a blanket. “Don’t move. Go to sleep.”

Zhuang Zhuang tried to get up but in the next instant, he fell back into the bed with his big dreamy eyes staring at Xiaoguo.

“Be good…”

Xiaoguo pinched his cheeks and got up to leave.

Zhuang Zhuang was already feeling sleepy while eating earlier. He almost poked his own eyes with the chopsticks during the meal. Even so, he still forced himself to wash the dishes and chat with Qin Anming. And just now he even wanted to help Xiaoguo wash the clothes.

Xiaoguo closed the door and did not leave immediately. After waiting for a while, she quietly pushed open the door to check on Zhuang Zhuang, who had already closed his eyes and was sleeping soundly. She smiled to herself. “Let our little man have a good sleep.”
