Chapter 43 The Creditor is Demanding Money

Old Mrs. Ruan didn't expect this result. Her face turned pale and she stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

Ruan Lanxiang fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Everyone around understood what had happened, and their faces were filled with contempt.

Ruan Fu looked at the scene in front of her and felt extremely satisfied. There was nothing more satisfying than getting slapped in the face in public.

These people had ulterior motives and wanted to harm themselves, but ultimately they shot themselves in the foot.

"Grandma, you better listen carefully now. You'd better be polite to me. If you really make me angry, no one will be able to live in peace."

Old Mrs. Ruan didn't hear a word she said. She just felt her eyes go dark and her ears were buzzing.

There was only one thought left in his mind: the money was gone, really gone. This was Ruan Zhiguo's tuition. How would he explain it to Liu Mei when she asked about it in the future?

Given her personality, she would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

"Mom." A voice suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone looked and saw Liu Mei walking towards the village entrance, panting and sweating profusely. It seemed that she had been in a hurry.

Old Mrs. Ruan never expected this person to come. She was stunned and just stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he spoke haltingly, "Big Boss's Wife, why are you back? Isn't it still a few days away?"

Liu Mei would never say that she rushed back because she received a call from Aunt Hu.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and forced a smile, "Mom, Zhiguo School is pressing for tuition, so I came back to ask you for the tuition."

What you fear will come true. He comes back to ask for money at this time.

Old Mrs. Ruan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She had no money left as Ruan Lanxiang had lost it all.

But she couldn't say this in front of so many people, otherwise how would Lanxiang survive in the village in the future.

"Big Boss's wife, I have to explain this to you. Let's go home and have a drink of water and rest first."

She grabbed Liu Mei's arm and tried to drag her home.

As long as you get home and close the door, you can do whatever you want, but you must not make a fool of yourself in front of others.

Who knew that Liu Mei was such a shrewd person. She knew clearly that some things had to be discussed in public in order to get an explanation. If she really went back home, Old Mrs. Ruan would definitely find ways to protect her daughter, and she would not get a penny.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei pretended to smile and said deliberately: "Mom, I won't stop for a while. Things are a bit urgent. I have to go back to the city after getting the money."

Old Mrs. Ruan glared with anger. Although she felt guilty, she still felt that her words were of great importance in the Ruan family, and others could only obey and not have any objections.

Unfortunately, Liu Mei was too tactless today. In front of so many people, she didn't even give me a way out.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu winked at the person beside her.

Mrs. Hu reacted immediately. She was already angry because she was scolded by Ruan Lanxiang for selling mulberry leaves today, and now she hoped that the matter would become bigger.

He immediately clapped his hands and said, "Old lady, just tell me the truth. Now that it has happened, hiding it is no use. You are a family, Mei Zi will not blame you."

This sounds very meaningful.

Liu Mei's face changed slightly. She obviously knew what the other party was talking about, but she still pretended to be confused. "Mom, what happened? What did Sister Hu mean?"

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Old Mrs. Ruan opened her mouth stiffly.

She wanted to tell the story, but she didn't know where to start. She couldn't just say that Lanxiang lost all her money trying to do business, right?

"My eldest daughter-in-law, something has indeed gone wrong. Go home first and I will explain it to you slowly."

With that said, Liu Mei couldn't possibly go back. Her tone turned cold.

"Mom, in front of all these people, just say whatever you want to say so that everyone can judge for themselves."

Liu Mei really didn't feel like beating around the bush with the old lady anymore.

She almost fainted when she received a call from Mrs. Hu just now. After she came to her senses, she immediately rushed to the village without stopping.

She really regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should not have given the money to Old Mrs. Ruan when she went out. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the end.

"Forget it, let me tell you!" Ruan Lanxiang suddenly stood up, her tone resolute, "Sister-in-law, the money is gone. No matter how hard you push, Mom won't be able to give it to you. You have to figure it out yourself!"

Liu Mei has always been unwilling to suffer any loss, and everyone thought she would be furious after hearing this.

Who knew she just said "Oh" and smiled, "Okay, then I'll figure it out myself."

How could he find a solution when he had lost all his money? Ruan Lanxiang didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other party was just confused by anger.

Who knew that the next second, Liu Mei pushed her away and rushed home in big strides.

Seeing that the person had left, Ruan Lanxiang actually felt relieved.

"Mom, I told you it's okay. At most, my sister-in-law is venting her anger, but she wouldn't dare to do anything to us."

For some reason, Old Mrs. Ruan felt her eyelids twitching and felt that something was going to happen. She ignored her daughter and hurriedly followed Liu Mei back.

People around were talking about it.

Ruan Fu was picking up the mulberry leaves slowly and methodically, and had no intention of leaving. According to Liu Mei's personality, there would be a good show to watch soon, and she didn't want to miss it.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Liu Mei hurried out of the village again.

But this time, she was holding a small box in her arms and walking very fast.

The angry Old Lady Ruan chased after him, cursing at him.

Spotting Ruan Lanxiang in the crowd, she quickly said, "Lanxiang, stop her!"

Ruan Lanxiang reacted quickly and went up to stop the other person.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you moving all my boxes out for no reason?"

Liu Mei looked at the things in her arms and sneered, "Isn't there no money at home? Zhiguo has to go to school again, so I can only come up with this idea. Sell everything in this box, I'm sure I can get twenty yuan."

Ruan Fu recognized the box at a glance. It was the Ruan family's treasure. All the valuables were inside. No one except Old Mrs. Ruan was allowed to touch it.

But now the box is locked with a big iron lock.

It must have been locked by Liu Mei just now, and it doesn't fit in with the box itself.

Ruan Fu was amazed. She wondered where Liu Mei bought it. The lock looked really sturdy.

When I have money in the future, should I buy one?

Old Mrs. Ruan finally arrived, clutching her chest and gasping for breath.

"Liu Mei, I think you don't want to live anymore! This box is the last life-saving money for our family, and you took it all away, leaving your sister and I to die."

She quickly ordered Ruan Lanxiang to snatch the box away.

"Who dares to stop me?" Liu Mei screamed and slapped Ruan Lanxiang in the face, making her scream.

Old Lady Ruan felt sorry for her daughter and immediately turned hostile, angrily scolding, "You even dare to hit your sister-in-law, I think you are crazy!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Mei changed her previous meekness and said sternly, "I am indeed crazy! You drove me crazy. I put Zhiguo's tuition in your hands, and now there is not a penny left. Taking these is a bargain for you."
