Chapter 125: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (12)
Liu Shufen was present on the day the corn was sold. She saw with her own eyes that the man who collected the corn gave Muyan a stack of money. She had never seen so much money in her entire life.
These days, she had been waiting for Mu Yan to ask for some money to be shared with them, but as the days passed, she had no intention of doing so at all.
Liu Shufen could no longer sit still.
After breakfast in the morning, she carried her hoe and went to work in the fields as usual, but halfway through she returned home.
She was in the kitchen when the village chief came to her house that day and said that the mayor was coming to see their village's first millionaire.
She remembered that the time they were talking about was today. She had left home early, and the mayor could not come at this time. Liu Shufen walked to the gate but did not enter the house. Seeing that there was no one around, she bent down and hid in the pile of corn stalks at the door.
She will appear again when the mayor arrives.
Near noon, the village chief, along with the town chief and several town officials, entered Liu Shufen's home.
At this time, Liu Shufen, who was in the corn stalk pile, was sleeping soundly and didn't hear the person she had been waiting for all morning had entered their home.
"Comrade Li, if you have any difficulties, please report them to the village and town. We will help solve them if we can," said the mayor, a bald, middle-aged man with a kind face.
Ever since he heard that Muyan contracted thirty acres of land at one time, he had been looking forward to meeting her. He admired such a decisive and courageous woman very much.
If there were more people with such drive, the people here would be able to get rid of poverty and live a well-off life in no time.
After hearing what he said, Mu Yan didn't bother to be polite with him.
"Mayor, when will our village have electricity? I heard the neighboring village already has it."
The mayor leaned aside and pointed backwards, "We'll clear the line for you today. That means the electrician is already here."
Muyan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a group of people following him with electric wires on their shoulders. She was very satisfied. With electricity, she could buy an electric machine and an electric thresher, so that she could contract dozens more acres of land.
Mu Yan was thinking when she was suddenly brought back to her senses by a cry of surprise.
"Oh, why are there so many people here?" Yang Yun said in surprise, holding a can in his hand and walked to the center of the yard.
"Village chief, what's going on?"
The village chief couldn't help but roll his eyes at her knowingly asking question.
"Yang Yun, the mayor is here, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Oh my god, the mayor," Yang Yuan immediately wiped his hands on his clothes and was about to step forward to shake hands with the mayor. When he stretched out his hand halfway, he was scolded by the village chief.
She could only withdraw her hand awkwardly, turned her head and looked at Mu Yan with a smile, and handed the can to her.
"Lingzi, I know you like canned peaches, so I bought them specially." Yang Yun spoke to Muyan in an intimate tone as if she were her sister born from the same mother.
Mu Yan glanced at the can in her hand and said, "You forgot what I said last time so quickly."
Yang Yun didn't expect that she would dare to bring up what happened last time in front of the mayor. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't bear grudges and won't bother with you. Let's not talk about what happened before. We're still a family from now on and should live a good life," Li Gang said, stepping out from behind Yang Yun.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, just leave. You are not welcome here. The willow branch is still there. If you want to try it, I don't mind playing with you for a while," Mu Yan said coldly without any mercy.
When Li Gang was provoked by her and was about to get angry, Yang Yun beside him suddenly spoke.
"Lingzi, I won't hide it from you anymore. I came here today to borrow some money from you. Your brother and I also want to contract some land and make some money. You know, our mother is in poor health, so she will rely on your brother for support in the future. Also, your nephew is still young, and the expenses at home are very high."
"Sister-in-law, I really have no choice but to talk to you," Yang Yun said with tears in her voice, "Don't worry, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Your brother and I will write you an IOU, and the interest will be charged according to the credit union. Your brother and I will definitely not take advantage of you."
After listening to her, Mu Yan said without hesitation, "No, if you want to borrow, go to the credit union. It's my money, I won't lend it to you," she said word by word.
Yang Yun and Li Gang were both stunned. They didn't expect that she would be so stubborn in front of the mayor.
"Mayor, please help my husband and I talk to Lingzi. We really have no other choice. We have an old man and a child at home waiting for dinner," Yang Yun said as he was about to kneel down to the mayor.
The mayor was used to seeing people like this when he went to the countryside, so he stepped back and moved to the side to avoid her kneeling.
"Comrade, what Comrade Li Ling said makes a lot of sense. If you need to borrow money, you can go to a credit union. You even pay the same interest as a credit union, so why not go to a credit union? If there's any unpleasantness over this money in the future, you two families won't be able to be relatives anymore."
Yang Yun knelt on the ground, and she pushed away several people who came forward to help her.
"Mayor, my mother-in-law, Li Ling's mother, is sick now. As her own daughter, Li Ling should pay for her medical treatment, right?" Yang Yun heard the mayor's words and knew that it was hopeless to borrow money. If she didn't lend it, huh, she would have it, and she would pay it back to save her from finding excuses not to pay it back in the future.
"Now that she has become a millionaire, she has forgotten the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. Mayor, people cannot be without conscience. Those without conscience will be struck by lightning." Yang Yun shouted all the time, so she decided to let go completely, sat on the ground, patted the ground and cried.
The village chief wanted to kick her hard twice, as he had lost all face.
"Mayor, I believe Comrade Li Ling can handle this matter well. Let's go to the village first to see about getting electricity."
The mayor was thinking of a way to leave when he heard the village chief say this. He quickly said, "Okay, let's go," and turned around and left with a group of people.
Yang Yun's cries behind him in the yard were like a ghost demanding his life. The group of people left much faster than when they came.
After the mayor left, Yang Yun kept throwing tantrums, but he didn't get any help from the mayor and even lost face in front of him.
"Li Ling, you don't show any mercy at all. I wanted to talk to you nicely, but since you don't give me face, I won't be polite to you either," Yang Yun got up from the ground, rolled up his sleeves, spat on his hands twice, and rushed towards Muyan like a madman.
Muyan listened to her howling for a long time and was so annoyed that she almost vomited her breakfast. When she saw her rushing towards her, she raised her leg and kicked her in the knee.
Yang Yun immediately knelt on one leg in the yard, hugged his knee that was kicked and started howling like a ghost.
"Li Ling, you are so heartless! You don't even care about your own mother. May thunder strike you to death, you beast."
"Li Gang, are you dead? Didn't you see me being kicked by your sister?"
