Su Chengguo glanced at them twice and quickly walked past them.

This is someone else's business; he doesn't have time to gossip.

Their mouths are their own bodies; if they don't want to speak, there's nothing that can be done.

I'm speechless. They should donate that mouth to someone who really needs it.

The mute man wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

Some people can speak, but they choose to be mute.

Su Chengguo mentally scoffed at Zhou Li and her daughter, but couldn't help feeling relieved that her family members preferred to talk.

Su Tiantian couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Su Chengguo's heartfelt words.

She glanced back at Zhao Qiuyue and Zhou Li, and couldn't help but act as a peacemaker.

Suddenly, Zhou Li slipped and fell towards the roadside.

She herself was so startled by the sudden accident that she let out a cry of "Ah!"

Zhao Qiuyue, who had been lost in thought, reached out and grabbed it without thinking, and at the same time, she couldn't help but shout in worry, "Mom, be careful!"

The roadside was just a small bump; Zhou Li wouldn't get hurt if she fell down.

But she saw Zhao Qiuyue's genuine concern, and a momentary reaction cannot be faked.

The mother and daughter held hands, and Zhao Qiuyue asked worriedly, "Mom, did you twist your ankle?"

Zhou Li looked at Zhao Qiuyue and shook her head.

Su Chengguo turned around when she heard the sound, but seeing that the mother and daughter didn't need help, she ignored them.

Zhou Li pulled Zhao Qiuyue back onto the main road.

The mother and daughter returned to their previous silence, but they did not let go of each other's hands.

But the way back is only a short distance, and no matter how slowly you walk, you will eventually reach the end.

As they approached the Zhao family's house, Zhou Li asked in a trembling voice, "Yue'er, would you like to live with your mother?"

Zhao Qiuyue thought she was hallucinating.

She stood there, stunned.

Zhou Li didn't look at her, and she spoke again indifferently: "Of course, it's normal if you don't want to. Your father and I have already divorced cleanly, and you both chose to stay with him. From now on, my daughter and I will have no connection. But if you want to stay with me, I will keep a record of how much money you spent on my education. When you start working, you must pay me back tenfold!"

Zhou Li had thought it through; she wouldn't be able to rest easy back in town until she finished saying these words.

She can no longer face her child normally, and she doesn't want to see her child have no future.

Since talking about feelings is painful, let's talk about interests.

Zhao Qiuyue is not a child anymore; she can understand now.

If Zhao Qiuyue does not accept this request, then she will have no regrets.

With tears streaming down her face, Zhao Qiuyue knelt before Zhou Li and said, "Mom, I'm willing, I'm willing. Thank you for giving me another chance. I can write a statement. I will study hard, I will go to university, and I will earn money to pay you back in the future."

Having gone through this ordeal, Zhao Qiuyue matured rapidly.

She didn't want to get married early; studying was her only chance.

Her uncle and grandparents severed ties, but her mother, whom she had hurt, reopened that path. The debt of gratitude she owed could never be repaid...

"Alright, let's go to the Zhao family's house to pack your things, and I'll take you with me!"

Zhou Li herself shed tears. She wiped away her own tears and then reached out to wipe away Zhao Qiuyue's tears, pulling her up.

Once she made the decision, Zhou Li immediately started planning.

He took Zhao Qiuyue to the Zhao family home to pack her clothes.

Zhao's mother immediately launched into a veiled attack. Upon hearing that she wanted to take Zhao Qiuyue away, Zhao's mother threw a tantrum, screaming, "Heavens above! Open your eyes and see! This heartless wretch is trying to steal my beloved granddaughter..."

Zhao Jixue watched coldly from the side, and without thinking, said in a cold voice, "Qiuyue is a child of my Zhao family. You and my brother have been divorced for a long time. It is impossible for you to take her away!"

Zhao Qiuyue will be able to get married in two more years, so it's impossible to let her take her away for nothing.

If you want to take Zhao Qiuyue away, give me the money!

Zhao Qiuyue felt a tightness in her chest. Although she really wanted to go with her mother, she didn't want her mother to suffer because of her.

Just as Zhao Qiuyue was about to say something, Zhou Li stepped forward and pulled Zhao's mother up from the ground.

"You dare to hit someone?"

Zhao Jixue was startled. In his opinion, it was Zhou Li who asked him to agree to let her take Zhao Qiuyue away, but Zhou Li still dared to make a move!

Zhao's mother was a paper tiger. She was not in good health before, and she had been working hard for the past two years, which had depleted her resources. When Zhou Li pulled her up, she didn't dare to fight back except for shouting loudly.

“Hitting someone? I, Zhou Li, am a law-abiding citizen. I would never do something like hitting someone for no reason.”

Zhou Li sneered and dragged Zhao's mother out of the Zhao family's gate.

Zhao's father, holding the fire tongs, angrily cursed, "You're turning against the Heavenly Gang..."

But he didn't dare to lay a hand on Zhou Li.

Zhou Li dragged Zhao's mother out, then came in and dragged Zhao Jixue back in.

Zhao Jixue, suppressing his anger, said, "Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers and act arrogantly in front of me? Today I'll... ah—"

He wanted to teach Zhou Li a lesson, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Li grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard.

Zhao Jixue immediately screamed in pain, like a pig being slaughtered.

Zhou Li is very strong. When she was with the Zhao family, she followed Zhao Jifa to sea, and she did most of the work of pulling the nets and moving goods. After her divorce, she set up a stall in town, and she carried the heavy things herself.

Zhao Jifa could never beat her before, and Zhao Jixue was no match for her at all, just like a boiled chicken.

They dragged him out in no time.

Zhao's mother turned pale with fright and dared not step forward for fear of being beaten. She could only angrily question from the side, "You vicious woman, let go of my son! What do you want to do?"

Where exactly is Zhou Li going to drag Zhao Jixue?

Father Zhao, whose legs were weak, quickly told his two grandsons to follow, adding, "Your father is gone, and with your uncle in trouble, no one will want you. Go and beg, go and cry!"

The two boys were so frightened that they quickly followed.

Many villagers came out to watch the spectacle.

Zhou Li addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, please be the judge! He drove my child's father out of the house and we don't know if he's alive or dead. He's also abusing my daughter at home. I'm taking him to the police station right now and calling the police to thoroughly investigate this beast!"

Zhao Jifa couldn't possibly not go home; Zhou Li understood Zhao Jifa.

Zhao Jifa disappeared after going out with Zhao Jixue. Nobody would believe it if Zhao Jixue hadn't done something nefarious.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao naturally wouldn't call the police, since they were both their sons. In their view, if one son was missing, the other couldn't be allowed to have an accident as well.

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that they made sense.

Zhao Jixue's face turned black.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Enough! You just want Zhao Qiuyue to leave, right? Fine, we'll take her. After all, our family raised her all these years. Give me five hundred yuan, and she'll be transferred to your name. You can even change her surname to Zhou if you want!"

Zhao Jixue hadn't expected Zhou Li to be so formidable. He couldn't beat her in a fight, and if he really went to the police station, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the torture and interrogation...

“My daughter is not an animal you can sell. If you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of? I am a law-abiding citizen, but you may not be!”

Zhou Li spoke with a cold laugh. She still hadn't forgotten about money at this point; it seemed she hadn't learned her lesson.
