Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside
Chapter 237 Li Family Retribution

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Li Family Retribution

On the new household registration, Qi Panzi is listed as the head of the household, and her name remains Gu Daya, only the names of the three children have been changed.

Li Daxi merely injured his hand and was still able to move, coming to see Master Qi in the front courtyard with his father and uncles.

He replied, "Mother, the name change was intentionally arranged by your son through Elder Qi Er. The names Li Daxi, Li Shuangxi, and Li Anzi were given by the Li Family, as servant names. Your son doesn’t want our family to use the names given by the Li Family again."

The Li Family almost eradicated them completely, a grudge he would always remember.

Now that they had become respectable citizens again, he would no longer use the names given by the Li Family, which were all humiliations.

Gu Daya knew her son had some pride and loathed the Li Family deeply. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "It’s good to change them. These three names are nice: Qi Kangping, Qi Kangming, and Qi Kangle – suitable for you."

From now on, Anzi will be called Qi Kangping; Daxi will be called Qi Kangming; and Shuangxi will be Qi Kangle.

After Gu Daya put away the household registration, Master Qi took out a letter and handed it to Gu Dashan: "Apart from the household registration, there is also a letter from the Prefecture Government Office here. Take this letter to Tianfu County, and you can soon transfer the Qi Family’s registration to Da Feng Village in Qingfu Town."

The new identity of Qi Panzi’s family is that of released servants from the Qi Family. If these released servants do not live in the Prefecture, they must return to their hometown; with this letter, the family of Qi Panzi could follow Gu Dashan back to Tianfu County and settle in Da Feng Village of Qingfu Town.

"Master Qi has worked hard," Gu Dashan gratefully said, taking the letter and handing it to Gu Daya to keep safe.

Gu Jinli watched from the side, his impression of Master Qi improving significantly. Essentially, Master Qi liked to play the part of a sage at times but would come down to earth and get involved when needed.

These days, he had both contributed money and efforts, helping to save Aunt Daya’s family, which was somewhat commendable.

Master Qi, reassured by Gu Dashan’s words of gratitude, felt much relieved.

He looked around the room and did not see Jiang Jiao and Qin San Lang, and couldn’t help but ask: "Why don’t I see Second Master Jiang and the young man from the Qin family?"

These two individuals, one calling Elder Lei Wu uncle and the other holding a small copper plate from the Lei Family’s Trading Team, were the people he was most eager to meet.

"What does Master Qi need from us?" Jiang Jiao came in with Qin San Lang and Luo Wu.

He had taken the two youths to write a letter, which was addressed to the County Captain Jiang; these youths had delayed their return to the Military Office and County Government due to seeking someone, so he had them write to confess their faults and request leave.

Upon seeing them, Master Qi repeated the process of getting the household registration fixed for Qi Panzi’s family.

Jiang Jiao smiled without speaking, pointing at Gu Jinli and said, "This is her family’s matter. You just need to talk to her, no need to inform me."

Master Qi’s face showed some displeasure, as Jiang Jiao was not even picking up on his conversation, making it too difficult to curry favor.

But he didn’t want to lose all his efforts, looking at Gu Jinli with a warm smile, he said, "Gu Family’s daughter, your aunt’s family has been found, and the household registration obtained. Is this matter now concluded?"

Including the cost of redemption and changing the registration, he had spent close to three hundred taels of silver.

Gu Jinli smiled and asked, "Master Qi, the Li Family still lives at your place, right?"

Master Qi’s smile paused, and he nodded, "Indeed, they are still there."

"Keeping such people at the mansion, aren’t you afraid they will bring disaster again? They should be driven away quickly."

"Driven away?" Master Qi said, "It’s not that I don’t want to drive them away, but my mother remembers the kindness of her distant aunt from the past and doesn’t want to be too harsh."

"The Li Family is a curse. If the Qi Family continues to keep them, there will be countless troubles." Gu Jinli smiled, "The Old Madam of the mansion understands reason and does not harm her own family for the sake of sheltering relatives."

Gu Jinli wanted to act against the Li Family quickly, but the Protector of the Qi Family was too formidable, making it difficult for her to make a move. She had to have the Qi Family drive out the Li Family.

She gave Master Qi a hint, "These days, Master Qi has been devoted to saving my aunt and her family, and my Gu’s Workshop only does business with those of good conduct."

Hearing this, Master Qi’s eyes lit up, "Gu Family’s daughter, what do you mean by that?"

Is she offering to sell him the recipe for flavorful spices, so the Qi Family can also engage in the spice business?

Master Qi was very fond of the flavorful spices from Gu’s Workshop; although the Northwest side had already given it to Elder Lei Wu, the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas were still available.

If his Qi Family could secure the spice business in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan regions, their status and wealth would definitely rise considerably.

As for the recipe of the spices, with the Lei Family’s Trading Team around, he dared not think about it.

Gu Jinli did not give Master Qi a firm promise, but instead shifted the conversation, saying, "The Li Family is our Gu Family’s enemy. We would not do business with relatives of our enemies."

Master Qi understood, the Gu Family was relentless, aiming to retaliate against the Li Family. If his family continued to harbor the Li Family, they could forget about entering the spice business.

Master Qi also deeply resented the Li Family. After leaving Jiang Residence and returning to Qi Mansion, he immediately called all Protectors and had the Li Family, dozens of them, driven out of the Qi Mansion overnight.

Elder Li wanted to make a scene, but his hands and feet were bound, and his mouth was gagged; he couldn’t say a word.

Elder Li Si was in the same situation, bound and gagged; even if he had countless curses in his belly, he could not utter a single one.

Elder Li San had his bindings loosened, but he wanted to curry favor with the Qi Family and didn’t dare oppose Master Qi at this time, only consoling the crying Li Family women, "Stop crying. Our distant aunt grandmother has given us a house on Jiqing Street in the south. Let’s pack up quickly and move there."

The women from the Li Family knew that the Qi Family was determined to drive them out; if they caused trouble, it would mean offending the Qi Family to death.

The Li Family came as refugees and they had no other support in He’an Prefecture except for the far relative, the Qi Family; they could not afford to offend them.

After their tears, the family moved overnight to the house on Jiqing Street.

Old Madam Qi had to maintain appearances; the house she provided was not small, with three sections, enough for the Li Family.

However, Old Master Li and Elder Li Si were unconvinced and wanted to argue with Old Madam Qi, but Master Qi sent the old housekeeper of the Qi Mansion with them.

Old housekeeper of Qi Mansion said, "Old Master Li, just live here peacefully and stop thinking about finding our Old Madam. Old Madam has already hurt Second Young Master’s heart by trying to help your Li Family. If you truly appreciate the kindness of Old Madam, then don’t cause more trouble."

"Mmmph!" Old Master Li grumbled, glaring at Elder Li San, wanting Elder Li San to loosen his bonds.

But the old housekeeper of Qi Mansion stopped Elder Li San, saying, "Third Master, please don’t loosen Old Master Li’s bonds. Our Second Young Master said, let Old Master Li calm down for a few days, and after Old Master Li has thought it over, then you may free him."
