Xiao Li was also a nimble person. When he heard the man’s words, he did not say anything. He took a few steps forward and kicked before anyone could react.
With a bang, the man was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
“Cough cough…” He clutched his chest and coughed violently.
Naturally, Xiao Li was not afraid. He was standing up for Ji Yuanyuan’s friend.
Not to mention that this man was fine, even if something happened, Old Master Qin would be able to cover for him.
Moreover, he had held back when he attacked!
The people present gasped when they saw the thin young man kick the groom away.
They couldn’t afford to offend a martial artist like him!
Everyone walked out one after another, not wanting to meddle in this matter.
However, when they walked out, they didn’t forget to take away the dishes on the table.
In less than a minute, the courtyard was in a mess.
The man finally recovered. He struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at Xiao Li, “You dare to hit me? 1 want to call the police, 1 want to call the police…”
“Someone like you still knows how to call the police when something happens?” Li Xu sneered, “Then call the police. Let’s see who the police will arrest!”
“Why would they arrest me?” the man said confidently, “What right do they have to arrest me? 1 spent money to marry this wife. Her grandparents took my money!”
“Because she’s not even fourteen years old this year, because she’s still a child, and because she didn’t marry you willingly.” Li Xu gave three reasons in a row. The man was rendered speechless.
Xiao Li took another step forward and stood in front of the man. She said in a low voice, “Go in and see if Fang Xinyi is inside.”
Ji Zi’ang was the first to rush into the house, followed closely by Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan finally regained her senses and forced herself to look away from that man.
It didn’t matter. Now that she knew where he lived, she would have plenty of time in the future. Right now, it was more important to save Fang Xinyi.
She convinced herself and followed Li Xu and Ji Zi’ang into the house.
“Xinyi!” As soon as she entered the room, she saw Fang Xinyi tied up on the brick bed.
She was dressed in red, with a big red flower on her head and red leather shoes on her feet.
Her mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief and he could not say a word.
Li Xu hurriedly stepped forward and took out the handkerchief from Fang Xinyi’s mouth.
“Save me, save me…” Fang Xinyi burst into tears.
Li Xu went behind her and helped her untie the rope, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Auntie will help you untie the rope.”
After finally untying it, Fang Xinyi was so frightened she reached out and hugged the person in front of her.
She didn’t see it clearly at all. She just subconsciously wanted to find someone to hug.
However, the person in front of her was not Li Xu or Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Zi’ang raised his hands awkwardly and looked at Li Xu for help, “Mom…”
Men and women shouldn’t touch each other!
Li Xu quickly came over and saved Ji Zi’ang.
She pulled Fang Xinyi off Ji Zoi’ang’s body and pulled her into her arms, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s okay now. Auntie will take you away!”
She protected Fang Xinyi and walked out.
When the man saw that these people were going to take Fang Xinyi away, he became anxious.
“This is the wife I spent 5,000 yuan to marry. You can take her away if you want. Give me back the money. This is all I have.” The man said.
His parents had died when he was young. He had worked hard to save up this little money and was thinking of marrying a wife to continue the family line.
But what was going on now? The money had already been spent, and they were actually taking her away. Then wouldn’t he lose both the person and money?
Ji Yuanyuan stood still and looked at the man coldly, “Did we take your money? Of course, you can go to whoever took your money!”
Let them fight each other!
Li Xu quickly escorted Fang Xinyi into the car, followed by Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang.
When they were ready, Xiao Li said to the man, “If you dare to cause trouble for her again, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”
As he spoke, he even stretched out his fist and waved it in the air.
The man was so scared that he covered his head and dodged.
Seeing this, Xiao Li walked out of the courtyard. He got into the car and drove them down the mountain.
The car started. Li Xu grabbed the red flower on Fang Xinyi’s head and threw it out of the car window.
Fang Xinyi kept trembling, not knowing if it was from the cold or from fear.
It was still very cold in the first month of the year. She was only wearing a thin red coat.
Xiao Li turned on the heater as soon as she got in the car, but the temperature rose slowly.
Li Xu took off her cotton jacket and draped it over Fang Xinyi.
Under such circumstances, she naturally couldn’t send Fang Xinyi home.
Her mother was not at home. What if her grandmother sent her to Xu Village again?
At that time, they would not be so lucky.
Therefore, Li Xu instructed Xiao Li to send them to Hu Chunli.
When Hu Chunli opened the door and saw Fang Xinyi, she was shocked, “What’s going on?”
Li Xu brought Fang Xinyi into the house and gave Hu Chunli a look.
Hu Chunli came back to her senses and quickly said, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ve left food for you. Sit down first. I’ll go get some rice.”
Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
It was warm inside the house. Li Xu took off Fang Xinyi’s cotton jacket.
Seeing her red clothes were really an eyesore, she quickly asked Yang Jingyi, “Jingyi, do you have any clothes? Can I borrow some?”
Yang Jingyi was still looking at Fang Xinyi in confusion, but after hearing Li Xu’s words, she quickly nodded, “I have it. Please wait.”
She quickly turned around and went into the bedroom.
Soon, a set of clothes was brought over.
A black cotton jacket and a pair of gray pants.
Li Xu looked at Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang, “You two, go to the balcony for a while.”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang knew they were going to help Fang Xinyi change her clothes, so they quickly ran to the balcony.
Li Xu stretched out her hand and helped Fang Xinyi remove all her clothes. She threw them into the trash can and said, “We don’t want this dress anymore. In the afternoon, 1’11 buy you a new set of clothes. You can wear Jingyi’s first.” “Thank you, Auntie!” Fang Xinyi’s voice was a little choked.
Hu Chunli came out of the kitchen and placed the dishes on the table. Then, she scooped a bowl of rice for the four people who had not eaten yet.
Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath and went forward to hold Fang Xinyi’s wrist, whispering, “Go wash your face first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk after dinner.”
Fang Xinyi nodded her head vigorously and said in a low voice, “Good!”
Ji Yuanyuan pulled Fang Xinyi to the bathroom and washed the powder off her face before bringing her to the dining table..
