Chapter 37 [Stepmother]
That night, Li Mubai slept very peacefully and nothing happened until he woke up early the next morning.
The air in the mountains is good. After replenishing it, I feel refreshed.
He went to the Zhou family, but Chow Tai Fook was gone. It is said that he had gone out to do something. There were not many gossips in the village that happened, as if nothing had happened and he still returned to his usual state.
I have been here for more than ten days. Every morning, Li Mubai would exercise on the mountain and practice a technique called Guiyuan Qi Refining Method recorded in the Ghost-Catching Notes.
Guiyuan Qi Refining Method is similar to some Taoist practice techniques. The notes record that this technique can absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth as used, change the quality of the body, strengthen the body, and other incredible effects.
When he was practicing, Li Mubai's purpose was to think about his body purely, and he did not think about anything else, because his body was too weak. He just wanted to train himself well, but what made him extremely depressed was that after practicing for several days, it didn't work at all, and even a faint breath in his body did not produce.
Originally he wanted to give up, but his grandmother refused. Although she didn't know who wrote this note, the things inside were very useful. So during the holidays, in addition to being able to read this note, he would go to the highest peak in the back mountain to practice breathing and breathing every morning. However, during this period, he never used the Yin-Yang Soul Conjuring Light again. The last time he used the Yin-Yang Soul Conjuring Light made him suffer a lot.
The holiday time passed quickly, and the weather was a little gloomy on the day. Li Mubai left his grandmother's house and returned to Yonghe City, and returned to his father's rental house.
"Come back?"
A charming voice came from outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. Li Mubai, who was tidying up his luggage, frowned and opened the door. He saw a middle-aged woman with colorful branches and large wavy hair standing at the door. She had a melon-shaped face, a small black mole on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were narrow and long, which was a rare peach blossom eye.
"Yeah, Aunt Li...Auntie."
Li Mubai stood there with a hurried look, nodding his head with a dodge. He could never really face this stepmother, and he could not accept it, whether in his heart or on the surface.
"Why don't you say anything when you come back? Do you still think this is your home? You are so old. I hope you are more sensible. Your dad is very busy with work every day. Don't make him unhappy."
The beautiful woman looked at Li Mubai with a cold look, and spoke with a slight warning.
The beautiful woman's surname is Li and her name is Fang. Li Mubai has always called her Aunt Li, and now she has started to scold him again. Although he is very disgusted, he still has to stay in this house, so he didn't say much.
"Why, are you unhappy?"
Li Fang stared at Li Mubai with his head slightly lowered, and spoke coldly. Seeing the dissatisfaction on Li Mubai's face, she was a little unhappy. Li Fang was originally a person who was good at observing words and expressions. Li Mubai was very tender to her.
"No, isn't it Sunday? Why is my dad still working overtime?"
Li Mubai raised his head slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you questioning me? Children should not ask too much about adults!"
Li Fang frowned and her tone became stern.
"Aunt Li, didn't you say that I've grown up? I can't control my father's affairs?"
Li Mubai didn't know where the courage came out of his heart. He raised his head and looked at Li Fang.
"You... have your wings hard? You don't have any tuition fees when you go to school this time? OK, very good!"
Li Fang stared at Li Mubai with cold eyes, and a cold snorted from her nose, unwilling to say anything, and then turned around and left.
After hearing this, he felt cold. Generally, his father gave Li Fang his tuition and living expenses to Li Mubai, and Li Fang paid Li Fang very much. Li Fang never liked Li Mubai. He often only gave him half of the tuition, and then his other half asked him to ask his mother for it, and the same was true for living expenses.
Li Mubai has been very sensible since he was a child and knew that his mother's status in the man's family was not very high. After going to that house, he did not come out to work at all. Instead, he managed it at home because the man's family is big and has a son and a daughter. The woman is a few years older than Li Mubai, and the man is the same size as Li Mubai. Originally, Li Mubai could not get into this school, but went to that school because of the man's help. In fact, Li Mubai knew very well that he just wanted to find a companion for his son, so the man's son was in the same school, the same major, or even the same dormitory. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Because the man loved his son and daughter very much, the finances were not managed by Li Mubai's mother. So Li Mubai generally would not ask his mother for money easily, so he usually had less living expenses and would use his free time to work.
This time I went to college, and I should have more free time. The reason why Li Mubai went to college was to increase his knowledge. As long as he made his mark, he could escape from his current home.
It was time for dinner that Li Mubai heard the sound of the door opening and the heavy footsteps. It was probably because his father had returned. Everything should be explained to his father, so as not to Li Fang's evil person complain first.
