The Li family is considered a top-notch family in Hutou Village.

Li's mother and Li's father used to be stewards of a wealthy family. They were sent to Hutou Village because the family members committed a crime and were sentenced to death together.

Li's mother gave birth to six sons, only four of whom were able to survive. Li Hongzhi was born only after she came to Hutou Village. In addition to Li Hongzhi's good looks, her family did their best to nurture her and also had high hopes for her.

The four brothers of the Li family are all married, but their wives are all slave girls bought from Ren Yazi, and their treatment is definitely not very good.

Otherwise, there would be no fourth-bedroom couple, but the Li family still has very few grandchildren, so the second bedroom had to give birth to a four-year-old daughter, who was rubbed down by the Li family.

Today, Li's mother and Li Hongzhi live in the Li family, and their second wife and daughter are waiting on them.

Everyone else works in Liu County and only comes back occasionally.

Precisely because the population structure of the Li family is similar to that of the Wei family, Li's mother always likes to compare her family with the Wei family.

Especially her husband Li Hongzhi, who gave birth to Wei Zhen on the back foot, and always thought that Li was also serious with her.

Under Li's mother's subtle influence, Li Hongzhi also likes to overpower Wei Zhen every day.

It's not entirely true how much Li Hongzhi likes Chen Jian. Although Chen Jian is good-looking, good at studying, and has a promising future.

But after all, she is just an orphan and a widowed mother, with no rights or status.

Li Hongzhi just likes to enjoy the compliments of others and the pleasure of snatching people away from Wei Zhen to satisfy her own vanity and desire to win.

If Wei Zhen hadn't discovered her secret, she wouldn't have wanted Wei Zhen to die.

Usually, whenever there is an opportunity, the Li family will secretly suppress the Wei family or step on the Wei family.

This gave Li Hongzhi the illusion that the Wei family was easy to bully.

I just didn't expect that I would hit a brick wall today.

"Mom! Why don't you fight back?! That man is just Wei Zhen's wild man!"

Li Hongzhi felt extremely resentful that he dared to embarrass her so much in public.

Wei Zhen has always been her loser. How could she be willing to let that bitch stand up only because she was playing tricks on her?!

"Zhi'er, you have to listen to your mother this time and don't mess around. You can't mess with that person! Remember!"

Mother Li still has lingering fears, so she fled home early with Li Hongzhi.

But he couldn't bear to part with the two kilograms of snake meat, so he insisted that the second daughter-in-law go to the Wei family to get it!

"Mom, are you overthinking it? If that person had any status and background, how could he possibly marry that idiot Wei Zhen!"

Being threatened by the Wei family to marry Wei Zhen, Li Hongzhi didn't think she was such a powerful character.

What's more, he was angry at Zhao Yuan's differential treatment. That man was obviously blind, otherwise how could he fall in love with a rude idiot.

"You have little experience and don't understand. In Hutou Village, anything can happen.

Besides, the origin of Mrs. Wei’s mother Li is very mysterious, so it’s not certain that she is an old acquaintance of hers.”

She often talks disdainfully towards Mother Wei, but in fact Mother Li is jealous of that woman.

They were both exiles, but Wei Mu lived the most comfortable life in Hutou Village, and any woman would envy her.

She can train a wolf-like man into a sheep that is docile only in front of her. Not only is he obedient and loving to her, but he has been doing so for decades.

Her sons are many and capable, and they are very respectful and filial to her.

Now that Wei Zhen has stood up again, the Wei family is about to soar into the sky, and Mother Li can only worry.

"Then let's forget it?!" He didn't even suffer any injustice when a foreign tribe came to hunt for grass in the valley. How could he let Li Hongzhi swallow this sigh of relief?

"Of course not, but we can't go head-to-head with the Wei family now. Just look at it, Hutou Village is not a place where anyone can make trouble.

Over the past hundred years, many capable people and strangers have pretended to be extraordinary, and they have stirred up troubles, but they have failed and ended miserably.

This is a land cursed by gods and Buddhas.

The same goes for the Wei family. The higher we jump, the harder we fall. By then, it will not be too late for us to take revenge.

This is the way to survive at the border, Zhi'er must remember it.

That's why Mom wants you to work hard, marry into a good family in the future, and take our family out of this hellish place.

Just do other things for fun, there is no need to put more effort into it, don’t forget your purpose and responsibility."

Li's mother told Li Hongzhi a lot of things from the bottom of her heart.

The current ruler has granted amnesty to the world twice, and not even those who have committed the most heinous crimes have the opportunity to start over.

Those with good connections can return to their place of origin, but those without connections can only rely on their own efforts. As long as they pay enough money to redeem their lives, they are good citizens and are free.

Good people can leave Hutou Village, leave Liu County, enter the customs, and go to the safe hinterland of the Central Plains.

This is the goal and direction pursued by almost every border person.

It has to be said that although Mother Li curses a lot, she is also a very sober person, aware of her duties, and able to bend and stretch. Otherwise, she would not have been able to survive in the chaotic Hutou Village for so long.

People who can live at the border generally have some abilities and strengths.

Seeing Mother Li give up, Li Hongzhi lowered her head and said nothing. As for whether she would listen to Mother Li, only she knew.
