Chapter 272 alone
Li Zhang has seen many shameless people, but this is the first time he has seen someone as shameless as Liu De. Last time he asked Qingzhi to send him off, he was already quite shameless, but he didn't expect that this time he was even more shameless. He actually forced Qingzhi to Li Zhang, and after saying that, he said goodbye and left.
"Oh..." Li Zhang reached out to stop the other party, but Liu De turned a blind eye. He took his younger brothers and his sister-in-law away quickly, and disappeared into the vast sea of people in the blink of an eye. He couldn't find it now.
"There are such shameless people in this world!" Li Zhang didn't even take back his hand at this time, and then he scolded with a look of grief and anger. He was not someone from Qingzhi. What's the point of Liu De throwing her to him now?
But even though he scolded, Liu De had already left, but Qingori inside didn't know about this. What should I do now? Although Li Zhang wanted to abandon Qingori cruelly, he had nothing to do with Qingori anyway, but when he thought of Qingori as a weak woman, if she had no one else's company, she might encounter some dangers. After all, the public security in Tokyo is not very good now, especially in the lively days, countless dangers are still hidden under the prosperity on the surface.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang was also in a dilemma, but at this moment, Li Er and the others finally bought things, and Qingzhi accompanied them out of the store. When Li Er saw Li Zhang, he immediately stuffed the things in his hand into his arms and said, "Brother, why are you out? These silks are prepared for you to make clothes, and Sister Qingzhi helped me choose them!"
As soon as Li'er said that, a few pinks appeared on Qingzhi's white jade-like cheeks. Li Zhang seemed a little embarrassed at this time because he didn't know how to tell Qingzhi. He couldn't tell her directly, her elder brother threw her to him and ignored it, right?
"Li Zhang, it's getting late, so let's go to other places!" At this time, Yan Niang suddenly interrupted. Out of the woman's intuition, she also had great hostility towards Qingori and was unwilling to let Li Zhang have too much contact with the other party, so she wanted to leave early.
Hearing Yan Niang urged her to leave, Li'er looked at Qingzhi with some reluctance, and then suddenly suggested: "Sister Qingzhi, why not have fun with us. Then I will ask my elder brother to take you home!"
"No need, my elder brother and the others are going to burn incense. It's probably time to come out now. If they can't find me when they come back, they will definitely be anxious." Qingzhi seemed to feel that Yan Niang didn't like her, and Li Zhang's relationship with her was a bit subtle, so she also refused.
"That..." Li Zhang suddenly spoke, hesitated for a while and finally said, "Actually, your elder brother and the others have already arrived just now, but I saw that you and Li'er were having such a happy chat, so I told your elder brother that they would go and have fun first. I'll take you back later."
In order to protect Qingzhi's face, Li Zhang could only tell a kind lie. Qingzhi was stunned when she heard Li Zhang's answer, and then she looked a little embarrassed and angry, but in the end she tried to calm down. Then she bowed to Li Zhang and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Shi!"
In the eyes of others, Qingori was thanking Li Zhang and would send her back later, but Li Zhang and Qingori knew each other well. This was Qingori's thanking him and let her save face in front of Li Er and others. Otherwise, if this matter was spread, it would not be very good for her reputation.
"That's great, brother understands me the best!" Li'er was so happy that she almost jumped up when she heard Li Zhang's words. Then she pulled Qingzhi and ran forward. Although Yan Niang looked unwilling, she had no choice but to glar at Li Zhang fiercely, and then she was dragged away by Xiuxiu.
Five people became six, and the happiest one was Li'er. She liked Qingori very much, so she kept talking to Qingori all the way. Although Qingori was angry because she was abandoned by her brother and sister-in-law, she could control her temper very well. At this time, she had a great chat with Li'er, but she would be a little dazed when she didn't talk occasionally. After all, she was treated like this by her relatives, even if she had a good temper, she would be angry.
At the third day of the day, fireworks suddenly set off on the Yu Street. Li Zhang and others rushed there immediately. Countless bright fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, making the sky above Tokyo a dreamy color. The people of the entire capital also looked up and enjoyed the rare beauty.
Li'er even stood in the carriage, holding Li Zhang with one hand and Qingzhi with the other, raising his little head with another, making a marvelous sound from time to time. Qingzhi had temporarily forgotten his worries, and the reflection of fireworks flashed from time to time in his bright big eyes. Li Zhang was also admiring the fireworks all over the sky at this time. Although he had seen the fireworks countless times, he couldn't help but be immersed in it every time he saw it. This is probably one of the most beautiful scenery created by humans.
After the fireworks were gone, Li'er's energy was almost exhausted. At this time, she curled up in Li Zhang's arms and dozed off her head bit by bit. Qingzhi, Yan Niang and others also showed a bit of tired expression. So Li Zhang said at this time, "Qiangzhi, it's getting late, why don't I send you home first?"
Although Qingzhi liked Li'er very much, she was also embarrassed and angry because of her brother and sister-in-law's previous actions, so she wanted to go back early to calm down. At this time, she heard Li Zhang's proposal and wanted to agree immediately. However, when she saw Li'er dozing off, she spoke again: "I remember that this place is not far from Brother Li Shi's mansion, and Li'er is about to fall asleep. It is easy to catch a cold in the carriage, so let's take Li'er back first."
Hearing Qingzhi say this, Li Zhang looked at Li Er, who was sleepy in his arms, and finally nodded. At that moment, they got on the carriage and came to Li Zhang's house first. Xiuxiu and Yan Niang helped Li Er back to the inner house, and Li Zhang personally sent Qingzhi back.
However, Li Zhang soon discovered that he had made some mistakes. There were too many people in the carriage just now, so he didn't think much, but now he and Aoi were left in the carriage, which became a little embarrassed.
Aoori also felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was different, especially now it was the second midnight, and the hustle and bustle on the streets of Tokyo were slowly fading away. Only a small lantern was lit in the carriage. Under the dim light, she and Li Zhang sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.
"Brother Li Shi, do you think I'm pitiful?" Qingzhi was a smart woman. At this time, she took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere. However, as soon as she said that, her eyes turned red immediately, because this was also her true feeling when facing Li Zhang today. Although Li Zhang told a kind lie, she still felt very pitiful in front of Li Zhang.
"How come you have such an idea?" Li Zhang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed.
"My father and brothers all want me to marry you, and even use any means to achieve this goal, and have never taken into account my feelings. I think in their hearts, I am just a bargaining chip that wins over you. Brother Shi, will you treat me as a bargaining chip?" Qingzhi said in a low voice again at this time, but at the end of the conversation, tears couldn't help but flow out, and dripping into the carriage made a "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-t
Li Zhang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally looked up and said, "You are Li'er's friend, that is, my friend. I have no other advantages, but I never use relatives and friends as bargaining chips."
Hearing Li Zhang say this, Qingzhi couldn't help feeling a warmth. He wiped his tears and said solemnly to Li Zhang again: "Brother Li Shi, I spoke rudely last time, I hope you don't take it to your heart!"
"Haha, I was a little stingy. I actually scolded you with poetry. I thought I would be scolded by you when I saw you today, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously. In comparison, my temperament was not as good as you, a little girl. I was so ashamed!" Li Zhang also bowed to Qingori at this time. He really admired Qingori for this. Few women could be as generous as her. Even when they were abandoned by their brothers and sisters-in-law, she could actually hold back her anger. If it were Li'er, she would have had a big fuss.
"Born in a family like me, if I were not generous, I would have been so angry that I would have been seriously ill. I am like my mother." Qingori sighed again at this time. Only when she mentioned her mother, a warm look flashed across her face. The mother and daughter seemed to be out of place with the Liu family, which made her unable to integrate into this family.
Li Zhang sighed when he heard this. Liu Mei was from the bottom of the country and later became rich and married a woman from such a wealthy family. The two must have had many differences in living habits, so this led to the disagreement between the couple. Qingzhi was educated by her mother since childhood and seemed a little out of place with her other brothers and sisters.
"I understand. Did you say you didn't want to marry me that day? I probably saw that I was born similar to your father, so I was worried that I would go on the old path of your parents?" Li Zhang suddenly woke up and slapped his thigh and said.
"Brother Li Shi laughed. The little woman did have such concerns before, but now... it's gone." Qingzhi's face turned red when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then she said shyly, especially when she said the word "no", her voice was almost inaudible.
