When Old Lady Zhao heard that she had to take out 10,000 yuan, her expression instantly turned extremely ugly, as if Su Xiulan wanted not money, but to cut off her flesh and drain her blood.

Her eyes widened, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "No way! I only took a thousand yuan from you, and you dare to ask for such an exorbitant price? Have you no conscience?"

In what way has our Zhao family wronged you?

"All these years you've taken money from the Zhao family to subsidize your own family, and I haven't settled that score with you yet!"

As soon as Old Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Su Xiulan trembled with anger. She swung the lamp in her hand, pointing it directly at Old Mrs. Zhao's nose, and said angrily:

"When have I ever taken a single penny from your Zhao family to subsidize my maternal family?"

That money was earned through hard work, getting up early and working late!

If you have solid evidence, produce it. I'll compensate you tenfold for every single point!

Old Mrs. Zhao seemed to have been choked, and suddenly fell silent, staring blankly with her bulging eyes, looking like an angry frog, unable to utter a single word.

"Mother, just give it to her! Do you want to watch your son die without a lineage?"

You only have one son! Do you want this ten thousand yuan, or me? You'd better think it through!

Seeing that Old Lady Zhao was hesitant, Ye Jianguo became so anxious that his face turned red. He shouted at the top of his lungs, looking as disheveled as could be.

Old Mrs. Zhao's face was so gloomy it could drip water. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly went back to get the money.

He returned shortly after, holding two bulging envelopes. His face contorted with rage, he threw the money into Su Xiulan's arms and said viciously, "Are you satisfied now? Here's the money, now release my son!"

Su Xiulan gripped the envelope tightly in her hand, and only then did her tense nerves relax a little.

For her, this money was an explanation for the grievances she had suffered over the past three years, and more importantly, it was a source of confidence for the future life of the child in her womb.

Her grip loosened unconsciously, and the lamp rolled to the ground with a "clatter".

Liu Xiaomeng stared intently at the envelope in Su Xiulan's hand, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

This was all her son's money, and Su Xiulan just took it away like that. How could she swallow this insult?

That 10,000 yuan could buy so many lipsticks and clothes! We absolutely cannot let Su Xiulan get away with it so easily!

A glint of malice flashed in Liu Xiaomeng's eyes. She suddenly clutched her stomach and charged headlong into Su Xiulan without regard for anything else.

"Second sister, be careful!" Su Xiuju shouted in alarm, and hurriedly reached out to pull Su Xiulan, but she was still a step too late.

Su Xiulan lost her balance after being bumped by Liu Xiaomeng and staggered to the side.

In her panic, Su Xiulan could only instinctively protect her stomach tightly, her heart filled with terror.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xiuju quickly stepped to the side and cushioned her sister's back.

Strangely, the moment she fell to the ground, Su Xiuju did not feel the expected pain. Instead, she felt something soft behind her, and it was Li Dashun.

Meng Shuyun was shocked by this sudden turn of events and watched helplessly as the three of them piled up on top of each other like dominoes.

Liu Xiaomeng also fell to the ground due to inertia, but she reacted very quickly, scrambling to her feet and reaching out to snatch the envelope from Su Xiulan's hand.

Seeing this, Meng Shuyun rushed over, grabbed Liu Xiaomeng's hair, and slapped her twice across the face, yelling as she did so: "You shameless little bitch, don't think I won't touch you just because you're pregnant! You dare to try to harm my daughter, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Ye Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Dashun turn and leave. He scrambled back several steps, wishing he could get as far away from the lamp as possible.

Thank goodness, otherwise I really would have lost my manhood!

Su Xiulan was extremely nervous. She felt waves of sharp pain in her stomach, one after another. Holding her stomach, her face was pale and she panicked. Her voice trembled as she cried out, "Mother! Mother, my stomach hurts so much..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyun released Liu Xiaomeng's hair, stared at her coldly, and warned her icily, "You better behave yourself. If you dare to cause trouble again, even if it costs me my old life to go to jail, I will never let you and the child in your belly go!"

After saying that, she and Su Xiuju each took one side of Su Xiulan and hurriedly helped her up and walked towards the door, constantly saying, "Xiuju, quickly help your sister, we're going to the hospital right now."

Li Dashun bent down to pick up the envelope from the ground and walked up to Ye Jianguo.

His eyes revealed a chilling ruthlessness, which made Ye Jianguo retreat repeatedly in fear. An unprecedented sense of crisis and fear instantly enveloped him.

Ye Jianguo asked in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"

Li Dashun snorted coldly and said, "My second sister took your money and said she would let you go, but I didn't say I would let you go." As he spoke, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ye Jianguo hard in the groin.

Immediately afterwards, he walked up to Liu Xiaomeng, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head against the wall. Several muffled thuds were heard, and Liu Xiaomeng immediately let out a scream.

Li Dashun said expressionlessly, "You better remember this: don't mess with my family again. My fists aren't to be trifled with!"

The group rushed to the county hospital. The nurses, who were well-trained, quickly brought over a trolley and settled Su Xiulan in an orderly manner. Then they hurriedly went to notify Zhao Weiying, the deputy director of the gynecology department, to prepare for the surgery.

Zhao Weiying rushed to the operating room and saw Su Xiulan lying on the operating table with her brows furrowed and her face contorted in pain.
