Chapter 51: Extorting Money from Hu Dabiao

Liang Xiulan supported her chin with both hands, looked at the puzzled face in the darkness, and gave the answer.

"Because in your heart, your friends are always more important than me."

Jiang Jinzhou immediately denied it: "Nonsense! You are the most important to me!"

"Look, you still refuse to admit it. This is my second most annoying shortcoming. Refusing to admit it!"

"I didn't, seriously. I've already cut ties with those friends. I'm not lying to you!"

"You broke up with them because you discovered their true colors, not because of me."

"This, this, this... Oh, I can't argue with you. Anyway, in my heart, you are the most important!"

Liang Xiulan shook her head, self-righteous and stubborn.

"You are just saying nice things to make me happy. This is not your true nature."

"Even if we really get married, in the future when your friend and I both need you, you will choose your friend without hesitation!"

Jiang Jinzhou immediately denied: "No! I will choose you!"

Liang Xiulan raised an eyebrow. "What if it's between taking care of the child and being short of one? Which one would you choose?"

“Take the kids!”

"What if a friend you haven't seen in a long time invites you out and is short of one person?"

"this……"

"Look, look, look, are you hesitating? I know it!"

Jiang Jinzhou licked his lips and pretended to be calm: "You can take care of the child every day. It's normal to meet up with friends occasionally after not seeing each other for a long time..."

In fact, Liang Xiulan had been very understanding of him before and thought the same as him.

But because I was too considerate of him, I let him go out that time and lost my newly bought motorcycle to that group of so-called friends.

When they came back, they had a big fight and almost got divorced. The child was so scared that he didn't dare to speak for three days.

Another time, she and Jiang Jinzhou were shopping.

In fact, the two of them hadn't gone shopping for a long time. Jiang Jinzhou finally took a break and promised to buy her clothes. She had been looking forward to it for several days.

But he met a friend on the way and wanted to have a drink with him, saying that it was a dinner party arranged by someone who had just returned from out of town.

Jiang Jinzhou left her and the child without hesitation and went to the bureau happily.

My friend is not my best friend, nor is he a brother who grew up together. He is just someone I met through a friend and with whom I can talk.

How could she bear that such a friend was more important than Liang Xiulan?

After returning, the two of them were in a cold war for a long time. Jiang Jinzhou felt that Liang Xiulan was being unreasonable.

He was in a hurry to get married and hadn't had enough fun, so after getting married, he still treated himself as single.

When you are in a good mood, just comfort your wife. Brothers are usually the most important.

Liang Xiulan didn't want to live this kind of life anymore where she had to be a widow even though her man was right in front of her.

"Jiang Jinzhou, what I want is someone who loves me and protects me."

"My husband should be a mature person who can clearly distinguish between his brother and his wife, and can balance the relationship between his wife and his mother."

"I can stay sober at the wine table and stop playing cards in time.

Someone who can put aside so-called pride in front of friends, and who can correctly recognize his or her own mistakes and correct them in a timely manner during family conflicts."

"And you can't do that to someone like that..."

She said these words in a heavy tone, but Jiang Jinzhou didn't make a sound for a long time. I wonder if he fell asleep.

In short, Liang Xiulan has made her words very clear, and she just hopes that he will stop being so persistent and entangled.

Liang Xiulan lay on the bed with her head tilted to one side and fell into a deep sleep.

After a long while, Jiang Jinzhou stroked her hand and murmured softly, "Why do you think I can't do it?"

…

In the morning, both of them returned to normal.

Liang Xiulan still dislikes Jiang Jinzhou as before, and Jiang Jinzhou is still as shameless as before.

"Will you accompany me to ask for leave?"

"Go by yourself!"

"How can I ride a bike like this? My hand won't move."

"Okay, okay, you win, I owe you!"

After completing the discharge procedures, I took him out of the hospital on my bike.

But her first thing was not to ask for leave from Jiang Jinzhou's factory, but to find the person who had chopped Jiang Jinzhou yesterday.

She knew the man, his name was Hu Dabiao, and he used to often hang out at the market.

In his previous life, he almost smashed Grandma Zhu’s tofu stall.

Later, he was taught a lesson and immediately behaved himself. In the end, he even opened a fertilizer factory.

In this life, Liang Xiulan will be the one to deal with him!

Riding a bicycle with Jiang Jinzhou, we walked through several alleys and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar gate.

Jiang Jinzhou asked suspiciously, "What is this place? Why are we here?"

"Extortion!"

"Extortion?!!!"

"Oh no, I'm looking for someone to pay for my medical expenses. How could I extort money?"

She laughed twice, quickly walked up the high steps, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, an impatient voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Is your father dead or your mother dead? Why are you knocking so urgently?"

When I opened the door, I saw a cute little face.

"Hu Dabiao, right? We met last night."

The man named Hu Dabiao raised his eyebrows, looked her up and down, and smiled maliciously.

When Jiang Jinzhou saw that face, he immediately became nervous. Isn’t this the person who chopped him last night?

He ignored the pain in his body, quickly walked up the stairs, and pulled Liang Xiulan, wanting her to hide behind him.

But Liang Xiulan let go of her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, just stay aside."

After saying that, he took out an invoice issued by the hospital from his pocket and showed it to Hu Dabiao.

"Here, reimburse me for last night's medical expenses, surgery, and hospitalization!"

When Hu Dabiao heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Hehehe... little girl, you're probably still half asleep, aren't you? How dare you come to me and ask for medical expenses? Do you think one cut is too little? Believe it or not, I'll give you another cut right now! Let's make a pair of blood mandarin ducks!"

He pounded on the door, trying to show his power.

Liang Xiulan didn't buy his tricks at all.

"It's seventeen dollars in total. Do you want to take it or not?"

"I won't take it! What can you do to me?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude..."

Liang Xiulan raised her leg and kicked Hu Dabiao hard in the stomach.

Jiang Jinzhou's heart suddenly tightened when he saw this.

Before he could react, Liang Xiulan had already rushed into Hu Dabiao's house.

He picked up the bamboo stick behind the door and started beating him.

In my previous life, I was always panting when I performed these moves, but in this life, I am just over 20 years old, my hands and feet are very nimble, and I don’t feel tired at all.

He hacked Jiang Jinzhou like that last night and caused so much blood to flow, so today she wanted him to pay double.

The stick made a whirring sound as it swung, and each blow hit a painful spot, but not a vital one.

Hu Dabiao protected his head and legs with his hands, and finally got up from the ground. He picked up a hoe and started fighting with Liang Xiulan.

"Damn it, you stinky bitch, you dare to act wild in my house? I think you are tired of living!"

Seeing him pick up the hoe, Jiang Jinzhou no longer dared to delay and strode forward to help. However, when he was about to enter the gate, Liang Xiulan locked him outside.

"Xiu Lan, open the door, Xiu Lan!!!"

"Let me go in and help you, he's holding a hoe!"

He was shouting outside and Hu Dabiao was shouting inside.

"Ah! Ahhh! Ah! Damn bitch... Ahhhh..."

"Ahhh... Auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"Stop, stop, stop! My legs are about to break..."

"I'll pay you back, pay you back! I've already called you aunt, please stop..."

His entire body, except for his face, was beaten with the bamboo stick. He cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, and curled up on the ground, not daring to move.

Liang Xiulan finally stopped.

"Medical bills are seventeen, lost wages are twenty-five! Hurry!"

Lost wages? Hu Dabiao is still working at the petrochemical plant. What is lost wages?
