Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 328 A money-grubbing, traitorous fellow

Li Qiulan winced in pain, but dared not act tough with the little goldfish.

This little brat is just like his crazy stepmother; he's a ruthless character.

Li Qiulan clutched the aching spot, her eyes searching through the crowd until she found Li Chuan again. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Chuan'er, it's me, Grandma!"

Pointing at Li Da, she said, "And your father, don't you care about Grandma and Dad anymore?"

Li Chuan hid behind Li Xun, only one eye showing.

Although he no longer has to live with those two people, he still remembers all the beatings he suffered in the past.

Fear is also subconscious.

Right now, being stared at and interrogated by Li Qiulan like this, his small body tensed up immediately.

Li Xun frowned. Seeing his aunt and cousin in such a state, he was certainly not happy, but in the end, it was all their own fault and they had no one else to blame.

Chuan'er had finally managed to extricate himself from the situation, and he absolutely refused to allow his aunt and cousin to disturb the child again and affect his growth.

Li Xun gently pressed Li Chuan's head back behind him and said seriously, "Aunt, since my eldest cousin has already divorced Chuan'er's mother and Chuan'er has been given to his mother, isn't it a bit excessive for you and my eldest cousin to make things difficult for another child?"

He was a scholar, and although he was angry, he still spoke kindly.

Li Qiulan, however, did not think so. Ever since Li Xun helped Li San Niang, that ungrateful wretch, testify and enabled Li San Niang to successfully sever ties with her husband, Li Qiulan had held a grudge against this nephew. Now, she saw him interfering in her family's affairs again.

Li Qiulan instantly flew into a rage.

Pointing at Li Xun, she angrily cursed, "Shut up! I'm talking to my grandson. Who do you think you are, daring to stick your neck out?"

"You're a greedy, opportunistic guy who always sides with outsiders. You're supposed to be a scholar."

"I bother!"

Li Xun was scolded, and his face turned red.

Normally it would be fine, but today, the headmaster happens to be here too.

Gu Ziyan frowned. He and Li Xun were good friends and would talk about their families in private. He had naturally heard about the strange aunt and her cousin's affair.

Seeing his friend being humiliated, Gu Ziyan stepped forward and spoke up, "Auntie, what you said is wrong."

"Xiao Chuan is Li Xun's cousin. Your behavior just now frightened Xiao Chuan."

"Brother Li Xun's defense of Xiao Chuan is perfectly reasonable."

This was the first time Li Qiulan had met Gu Ziyan. She felt that the young man looked unfamiliar, but since he was wearing a scholar's robe, she could guess without much thought that he was Li Xun's classmate.

What good things could someone who hangs out with Li Xun possibly have?

Li Qiulan stretched out her legs, slapped her thighs with both hands, and threw her head back and howled, "Damn it, one by one they're forcing us!"

"This is trying to drive my son and me to our deaths! All that talk about divorce is just something they said with their mouths."

"My perfectly healthy grandson has been taken away from me! God, please open your eyes!"

When Li Dayi saw his mother starting to act shamelessly, he immediately joined in, shouting in a loud voice, "Grandpa, do you see this? This is your good grandson."

"They're helping outsiders bully us orphans and widows! Grandfather, please open your eyes and see clearly, what a disgraceful descendant they are..."

"Shut up!" Lin Chang'er was most annoyed by these nonsensical tattling.

When they do something wrong, they never reflect on their mistakes; instead, they rush to make false accusations.

Upon hearing this stern rebuke, Li Qiulan and her son immediately stopped making noise and looked at Lin Chang'er.

Lin Chang'er tugged at the corners of her lips and beckoned to Li Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, come to your aunt."

"Cousin Chang'er!" Li Xun said somewhat awkwardly. Although he didn't know why Lin Chang'er wanted to call Li Chuan over, no matter what, once Xiao Chuan went over, he would have to face his aunt and cousin directly.

Lin Chang'er ignored him; growth always comes at a price.

If possible, she also hoped that Li Chuan could grow up slowly and gradually, just like Xiao Man and Xiao Bao.

But Li Chuan is different; he needs to support his family as soon as possible.

It's not that he's unworthy, but rather that he can't hide under the wings of adults; he needs to grow up faster than other children.

And this process is destined to be anything but smooth.

"Uncle, I'm going to Aunt's." Li Chuan was still afraid of Li Qiulan and Li Da.

But his aunt wouldn't call him for no reason, and she liked obedient and brave children.

He couldn't let his aunt down.

"Chuan'er..." Li Xun wanted to say something more, but Li Chuan had already slipped out from behind him and ran towards Lin Chang'er, stumbling along the way.

When they got to her, they tilted their little heads up and obediently called out, "Auntie!"

Lin Chang'er patted his head and held his shoulders solemnly, saying, "Xiao Chuan, your aunt can give you another chance. Are you willing to acknowledge them and go back to live with them?"

Li Chuan's pupils dilated in shock, his small body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with panic. Finally, he stammered, "Aunt, Aunt...did, did Xiao Chuan do something wrong?"

"Auntie, Auntie, tell Xiaochuan that he will definitely change."

"Auntie, please wait for Xiaochuan a little longer. Xiaochuan will be able to help you with chores soon. Xiaochuan will work hard to earn money and will take good care of Mother and Auntie..."

As the little one spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down his face, one after another, like pearls from a broken string. In the end, he could no longer speak and could only hang his head and sob.

"Chuan'er!" Li Xun came forward with heartache, patted his head to comfort him, "It's alright, it's alright, your uncle and your second uncle are here!"

Then he looked at Lin Chang'er, his eyes full of pleading.

Lin Chang'er chuckled softly, took out a handkerchief, wiped away the little guy's tears, and said earnestly, "Remember what you just said. Now, turn around and tell them yourself that you are no longer their child, and that what they do from now on is none of your business."

Li Chuan's eyes widened in delight; he was relieved that his aunt hadn't abandoned him.

Li Chuan nodded and slowly turned around. "Once my mother is feeling better, she will take me to the county government to change my name. I will change my surname to Wang and will have no further connection with your Li family."

“My mother has nothing to do with you anymore. From now on, you can live your own lives, and my mother and I will also live our own lives. If we meet on the street, we don’t need to greet each other.”

After saying that, Li Chuan turned to look at Lin Chang'er, who nodded at him.

Li Chuan grinned again instantly, and Gu Xiaoman, nestled in Gu Erlang's arms, immediately chimed in, "That's right, Brother Xiao Chuan has nothing to do with you anymore. Don't come looking for him again, otherwise, Xiaoman and Xiaoman's friends won't let you off the hook, hmph!"

"Xiao Bao won't let you get away with this either! Humph!"

"We, the Big Mao and Little Mao brothers, won't let you get away with this either! Humph!"

"And so are we, Xiaoshan!"

"Little tree!"

"Big Head!"

"Humph!"

Gu Xiaoman still felt uneasy and shouted, "And my brother too! My brother is really powerful, so you all better behave."

Lin Chang'er was amused by his cute and arrogant appearance; the friendship between children is so unexpected.

Not long ago, Xiaoman said she hated Lichuan and told him not to come to her house anymore, but now she's protecting him...
