n86 Persuading Liu Shi

nIn ancient times, a village was usually dominated by villagers from the same family. For example, in Daishi Village, the Li family was the biggest family.

nThis was also the reason why Grandpa Li was elected as the village chief, and his words were respected.

nAlthough the Lin family had many men, and was very tyrannical, they did not dare to offend the village chief or those from the Li family.

nPreviously, the village chief had said that if Lin Dachui could not control his wife, he must leave the village. This was not just a threat, the village chief could really do it. It was also because of this reason that the Lin family was so afraid. They even agreed to give Lin Laosan’s inheritance to his wife and children.

nTheir family name was not Li, so there was no one to support them. If there was no man in the family, what happened last night would happen again sooner or later. It might even be worse.

nIn that case, she might as well get a man to live there.

nCoincidentally, Li Xiao appeared. Of course, she would not let him go.

nAs for Li Xiao’s character, based on her observation during the apocalypse, although Li Xiao was not no saint, he was principled.

nShe bought him and Xiao Qing and paid for Xiao Qing’s treatment. So she had done him a favor and he would not repay their kindness with enmity.

nOf course, if this Li Xiao was not the one she knew in the 21st century, she would not be merciful. After all, nothing was more important than her family.

n“How do you know that he is not a bad person?!” Liu Shi said angrily. She lowered her voice, afraid that they would hear her.

nLin Xiaoyue smiled. “Because dad said so.” She lied.

nLiu Shi was stunned.

nShe looked at Lin Xiaoyue suspiciously.

n“It’s true! Dad knows that we are a household with no man. There’s no one in our family who can stand up for us. He’s afraid that the three of us will be bullied, so he gave Li Xiao to me.”

nA hint of doubt flashed across Liu Shi’s eyes.

n“What kind of father would recommend such a…” Liu Shi did not say the rest of the sentence,

nHe looked too fierce. Did he do something bad to get that scar on his face?

n“Mom.” Lin Xiaoyue said coquettishly.

n“Look at our situation. If dad recommended a soft man for your daughter, would he be able to stand up to her?”

n“Look at how good Li Xiao is. He’s big and strong. In the future, you can assign all the hard work to him. We’ll relax.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled brightly.

n“Also, with Li Xiao around, who dares to come and bully us? Li Xiao can beat those bugs down with one punch!”

nLiu Shi was silent.

nThinking about it, it seemed to make sense.

nLin Xiaoyue noticed her mother’s reaction. Seeing that Liu Shi was more relaxed, she quickly said, “next, we are going to build a house. It’s not easy for us to not have a man at home to take charge, is it?”

nLiu Shi pursed her lips and stayed quiet.

nBut when she thought about how she had such a great daughter, but she was matched with a man who was disfigured, she still felt a little uncomfortable. So, she did not look happy.

nHow could Lin Xiaoyue not see through her mother’s thoughts? She smiled and shook Liu Shi’s arm.

n“Dad said that Li Xiao is a good person. Hwis quite pitiful. Look at him. If he was really a bad person, how could he have fallen into the hands of a human trafficker? Moreover, when I bought him, he wanted to bring his nephew along.”

n“That child is very sick. Isn’t he dragging himself down by bringing him along?”
