Chapter 43 Despair

Upon seeing this, Li's mother hurriedly ran out of the house and went to the house next door, to the house of Li Qiuyu's second uncle.

As soon as he entered the door, he cried out, "Second Uncle, quickly lend me your phone so I can call Qiu Yu."

Li Qiuyu's second uncle gave her a disapproving look and said, "Qiuyu has already given you the money, and Qiubo has driven off to buy a house. What are you still looking for Qiuyu for?"

Li's mother cried out, "That's not how it is! Second Uncle, please call Qiu Yu quickly and tell her to hide. Her father and Xiao Bo have driven to the city to look for her."

"What?!" Li Qiuyu's second uncle exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't Qiubo say that Qiuyu transferred the money to you? This kid lied to me?"

Li's mother wiped away her tears and said, "No, Qiu Yu has no money. Her father insists on driving to the city to find her, and he's even carrying a triangular belt. You should call Qiu Yu quickly and tell her to hide. Waaah!"

Li Qiuyu's second uncle glared at Li's mother and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Then he hurriedly took out his phone and dialed Li Qiuyu's number.

At this point, Li Qiuyu, who was already emotionally broken, saw a call from her second uncle in her contacts. Thinking it was her parents calling from their phone, she hung up.

After hanging up two phone calls in a row, Li Qiuyu's second uncle became anxious and yelled at his sister-in-law, "Your family are real bloodsuckers! Do you want to drive Qiuyu to her death?"

Li's mother didn't argue, but just kept crying, repeating the same sentence: "What should we do..."

Li's mother was a typical rural woman; Li's father made all the decisions in the family, and she never had any opinions of her own. At this moment, she also panicked.

Just then, Li Qiuyu's second aunt came back from outside and saw her sister-in-law crying incessantly in her yard. She hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

As if seeing a savior, Li's mother hurriedly grasped Li Qiuyu's second sister-in-law's hand and told her what had happened.

Without hesitation, Li Qiuyu's second sister-in-law took out her phone and sent Li Qiuyu a text message:

Qiu Yu, run! Your dad and your brother have gone to X City to look for you. Your dad is carrying a weapon.

After sending the text message, the second aunt called Li Qiuyu again, but the line was busy.

After making several unsuccessful phone calls, Li Qiuyu's second aunt angrily pointed at her sister-in-law and cursed, "Sister-in-law, your family has gone too far! If anything happens to Qiuyu, our two families will never speak to each other again."

"I didn't want to... I didn't want to... Waaah..."

This is Duan Xinyi standing at the door of Li Qiuyu's second uncle's house, looking at Li's mother with a vicious gaze for a few seconds, and then immediately taking out her phone to call Li Qiubo.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Li Qiubo asked as he answered the phone.

"Come back, don't go anymore, this wedding is off," Duan Xinyi said coldly.

"Why, honey? We're going to buy our wedding house today. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Did someone upset you?" Li Qiubo asked anxiously.

"Ha, what's the point of buying a wedding house? Your mom is calling your sister right now, telling her to run away. I see now, your mom never intended for us to get married," Duan Xinyi said coldly.

Because he was driving, Li Qiubo put his phone on the speakerphone. Li's father heard Duan Xinyi's words and immediately said, "Give the phone to your aunt, I'll talk to her."

Duan Xinyi walked into Li Qiuyu's second uncle's house with a gloomy expression, handed the phone to Li's mother, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Qiubo's father wants you to answer the phone."

Li's mother picked up the phone: "Hello..."

"Are you out of your mind? Who told you to call that little bastard? I'm telling you, if you mess things up today, I'll beat you to death when I get home!" Li's father cursed loudly as he held up the phone.

Li Qiuyu's second uncle snatched the phone and said, "Eldest son, do you have any humanity left? Qiuyu has sent a lot of money to the family over the years. What in your house wasn't bought with Qiuyu's money? Without Qiuyu, your family would still be living in two dilapidated tile-roofed houses that don't keep out the wind or rain. Where would you get this big house to live in now?"

"Second son, stop talking nonsense without understanding the situation," Li's father scolded. "You haven't been able to produce a son all these years. I think you're just envious of Xiao Bo's marriage. Let me tell you, mind your own business. If you piss me off, I'll beat you up too."

After saying that, Li's father hung up the phone, not giving Li's second uncle a chance to speak.

Uncle Li angrily handed the phone to his mother, saying, "You two are such a good family."

Duan Xinyi immediately snatched the phone from Li's mother and said, "I'm hungry, and the baby is hungry too."

Li's mother wiped her nose and said with a wronged expression, "I'll go cook for you..."

Then he turned and walked outside.

Duan Xinyi also glared fiercely at Uncle Li and his wife, meaning to tell them to mind their own business.

"Look at their daughter-in-law, she has no manners at all." Seeing this, Uncle Li was furious: "If Dad were still alive, he would have broken the eldest son's legs."

Aunt Li sighed and said, "What do we do now? We can't just abandon Qiuyu, can we? She's been sensible since she was little. How did she end up with such a father as the eldest son?"

At this moment, Li Qiuyu caught her breath in the room and called her sister-in-law back. As soon as the call connected, Li Qiuyu couldn't help but cry out, "Auntie."

Aunt Li was also moved by Li Qiuyu's crying, and two streams of tears flowed from her eyes: "Good girl, don't cry, don't be afraid, your second uncle and I will go to the city to protect you in a while."

Li Qiuyu stood by the window, crying out in despair, "Waaah... Auntie, I don't want to live anymore, I'm so tired."

Aunt Li was quite frightened by her words. She hurriedly shouted into the phone, "Qiuyu, please don't do anything rash. You're still young and have a long road ahead of you. Listen to your aunt, give me your address, and your second uncle and I will protect you. No matter what, your father won't be able to lay a finger on you today."

Li Qiuyu still didn't have the courage to jump out of the window. She gave the address of the mAx bar to her second aunt. At this moment, she didn't dare to go back to that cramped rented room, afraid of being caught by her father and brother.

"Okay, you wait here, your aunt and your second uncle will drive over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Li said to Uncle Li, "Go to the village and borrow a car. We need to go find Qiu Yu. She's not in a good mood, and I'm afraid she might do something rash."

"Alright, alright, then you wait for me." Uncle Li didn't dare to hesitate upon hearing this, put on his coat, and rushed out the door.

For some reason, Li Qiuyu, who was squatting in the room, couldn't stop thinking about the figure she had seen in the sales department that day.
