"Even if others give us money to let us frame them, it is because of them that others come to us. That is equivalent to them giving us money, which is equivalent to them being filial to us. What's wrong with us accepting the money?" Li's mother said righteously.

  Everyone present was shocked by Li's mother's fallacy.

  Mother Li is such a talented person!

  This reason is also a blessing.

  Those who came to bribe them did so because of Li Mumu and gave them money.

  If they accept the money, does that mean Li Mumu is being filial to them?

  It's a pity that Li's mother could come up with such a reason!

  "Wait, by saying this, she is admitting that it was Su Zhier who bribed them to frame Madam Gu, right?" Someone discovered the key to Li's mother's words.

  "Yes! She admitted it!"

  "Sure enough, Su Zhier came here just to frame Madam Gu."

  "How shameless! As a Daxi person, you went to the Turks and came back to frame our Daxi people."

  Everyone was chattering at the same time.

  Su Zhier's expression changed again and again.

  What's wrong with this Li's mother!

  "Even if it's just forbearance, can a person's personality change so much?" Su Zhi'er was unwilling to accept it, and hurriedly spoke up to change the topic. "Okay, even if it's true that she was so forbearing that her personality changed so much. Then since Li Mumu was treated so harshly at her mother's house, how could she have the conditions to study and learn to read?"

  "Li Mumu claimed that there was a scholar in the village, and whenever he was reading, she would secretly run over to learn from him, so she could read and write." Su Zhier said, "But, how can reading be so easy? In the process of reading and learning, there are many things you don't know. Since Li Mumu learned secretly, how could she learn it? She has no one to ask when she doesn't understand something!"

  "And I've asked someone to check, there aren't any so-called scholars in Li Mumu's village!" Su Zhier thought to herself, Li Mumu would never be able to refute this!

  Su Zhier also found it strange, as she had clearly discussed it with Li's father and mother before.

  Let them identify that the current Li Mumu is not the previous Li Mumu.

  This proves that Li Mumu's personality before and after is completely different, and it is impossible that they are the same person.

  But Li's father and mother came, and they did not say anything about Li Mumu.

  Good words.

  But just because of their words, it was proved that Li Mumu's personality was different before and after. It was not that her inner core had changed, but that Li Mumu chose to endure when she was at her mother's house.

  Su Zhier's plan was disrupted again.

  What on earth is going on with Mr. and Mrs. Li!

  If you say that they were not good to Li Mumu, they actually testified for Li Mumu.

  But if you say that they are nice to Li Mumu, they don't have anything good to say to Li Mumu.

  It doesn't look like he was bribed by Li Mumu in advance.

  If you really want to be bribed by Li Mumu, you should directly side with Li Mumu.

  Mr. and Mrs. Li stopped talking and secretly gave Li Mumu a helpless look.

  There are indeed no educated people in their village, they are all ordinary farmers.

  Mr. and Mrs. Li were indeed bribed by Li Mumu.

  Gu Wu knew the accommodation arranged for Li's father and mother after they came to Beijing, so he contacted them first on behalf of Li Mumu.

  Instead, he bribed them and offered to pay more than Su Zhier.

  How could greedy people like Mr. and Mrs. Li give up such a good thing?

  The lion opened his mouth immediately.

  They had always complained that Su Zhier gave them too little, and they had bargained with her for a while, eventually settling on a price that they were not quite satisfied with. However, Su Zhier refused to give more, so they had to agree to the price.

  Now someone comes along and offers to give them more money, so they naturally bid even higher.

  Gu Wu told Li Mumu about the extra money.

  Li Mumu sneered and came forward in person, offering a price, whether they wanted it or not.

  If they accept it, the money they give them will remain the same in the future.

  If they refuse, the money they receive will be halved in the future.

  As for the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Li threatened Li Mumu and helped Su Zhier slander Li Mumu, Li Mumu said it very calmly.

  "Since I know that you were bribed by Su Zhier, I know more. Even if you slander me, I have ways to deal with it." Li Mumu said, "It's just that if you are willing to accept my money and do what I say, I can save some trouble. But if you don't accept it, you will be in trouble in the future."

  Without waiting for Mother Li to say anything, Li Mumu continued, "You don't have to threaten me with the charge of being unfilial."

  "I didn't bother to argue with you at first, but

  Now I really want to argue with you, do you think you can go to the government office and sue me?" Li Mumu looked at Li's mother sarcastically.

  Li's mother suddenly realized that Li Mumu was no longer a low-level businessman.

  Li Mumu is now a county lady!

  She can really prevent them from even going to the government office!

  Even if they go, the officials won't listen to them!

  In that case, you might as well just take Li Mumu's money.

  After a moment, Li's mother thought that if someone tried to bribe them to slander Li Mumu again, she would come to Li Mumu and ask for more money.

  As long as Li Mumu gave her more, she would not help the other party to frame Li Mumu.

  Thinking so, Li's mother agreed.

  But Li Mumu knew the personalities of Li's father and mother very well, and asking them to speak directly to her would be difficult to convince people.

  So she taught them how to say it, which led to Li's mother belittling Li Mumu, which made people believe even more that Su Zhier was lying.

  At this moment, Su Zhier's face showed her pride even through the veil.

  "Li Mumu, what do you have to explain now?" Su Zhier asked loudly, "There is no one educated in the village, so who did you secretly learn to read from?"

  "Who said there are no educated people in the village?" A voice sounded in the crowd, a little breathlessly.

  Everyone looked over, and at the same time, Gu Lu also squeezed out from the crowd.

  He was also supporting an old man, who was also supported by another middle-aged man.

  The old man saw Li Mumu and said with a smile: "Mumu, do you still remember me?"

  Li Mumu responded with surprise: "Uncle Hu!"

  Uncle Hu smiled with relief, "You still remember me."

  "You taught me to read and write, how could I not remember it?" Li Mumu said with a smile.

  "Old Hu?" Li's mother also called out, "When did you learn to read and write?"

  Uncle Hu shook his head and said, "I am ashamed to say that... I was a scholar when I was young, but I was afraid that I would not be able to make a name for myself, so I kept it a secret and did not let anyone know. For more than ten years, I failed the exams. I became discouraged and did not want to add to the burden on my family, so I gave up the imperial examination and concentrated on farming."

  "That's why no one in our village knows that I have actually received education. I studied for so many years but didn't pass the exam. I feel ashamed and never tell anyone about it," said Uncle Hu.
