Chapter 26 Blackmail

Mother Tan seemed to have finally heard what she wanted to hear. She sat down on the ground and patted the ground. "I called the police! I called the police right from the beginning! But the police told me that my son died in an accident! Look, look, my son sent me a message the night before saying that he would take me to live a good life and that he would make a lot of money! But the police told me the next day that he died in an accident!"

"It's all collusion between officials and businessmen! They just bully us ordinary people! That liar is now working in a big company! The police won't investigate her properly! My poor son died inexplicably! I can't even ask for an explanation! This liar is really unscrupulous!"

After hearing what the auntie said, someone was filled with righteous indignation and asked, "Auntie, which company are you talking about? Tell us so we can avoid the pitfalls."

"It's the local Qiuye Group!" said Mrs. Tan hatefully.

When this was said, many people were stunned. Although Qiuye Group was a new company, anyone who had a job at home would say that the company was good, with high benefits and good treatment. Most importantly, there was no overtime! Even if you worked overtime, you would get overtime pay!

If we talk about other companies, some people might echo what Qiuye said...

"Auntie, could you be mistaken? Qiuye's people are so nice. After we scold our own leader, we always go and praise Qiuye's leader!"

"Yes, Auntie, the police can't lie to you for no reason, right? There's no benefit in that!"

"Sister, if you talk about other companies, I won't say anything. But if you talk about Qiuye, then I might have to talk to you about it. My husband works there. He had a car accident on his way home. The company immediately helped him file for work injury insurance. The company also sent people to express their condolences and brought him supplements and medical funds!"

Mother Tan was stunned by the chattering of the people around her, and quickly tried to make up for it, "This liar is close to the president of Qiuye Group. The president of Qiuye Group must protect her! I don't know what means she used to climb this big tree. Even the police can't catch her! Oh, my poor child! He died in his twenties and didn't even get married!"

"By the way, is the eldest son of the Zhang family the driver for the CEO?"

"Oh, you know what, it seems to be true. His daughter also works there. She gets a high salary and comes home early every day! She is just like us when we worked in the factory. She is full of energy every day!"

"Isn't this old woman the one who watched the fun downstairs at Old Zhang's house today?"

After several aunts talked about it, the identity of Tan's mother was revealed immediately. The aunt with a sharp tongue shouted directly: "Oh, who did I think it was! It turned out to be you, an old toad! You couldn't blackmail the daughter of a family, so you came to blackmail the master! Let me tell you, the little Song from the Zhang family patted his chest and told me that this master was very powerful. The neighbors saw how her daughter was bullied every day, right? It was the little toad from this old toad's family! It was this master who personally cut off their evil fate!"

"On the day her daughter woke up, Xiao Song was crying downstairs! She said her daughter was cursed! Just imagine how cruel that toad was! I also thought that curse was mysterious, but I didn't expect his son to really die after the breakup! Oh! I have to believe it! Do you think it backfired?!"

Suddenly everyone started talking at once. The neighbors have lived here for decades, and many of Zhang Yue's relatives live nearby. At first, no one could match them up, but then someone pointed it out and everyone remembered it immediately.

"It's about the Zhang family's youngest daughter. Oh, who did I think it was? The Zhang family's daughter-in-law's eyes were swollen every day when she bought groceries! These past few days, she's been smiling and saying that there's a very effective master here!"

"It's the Zhang family. I also saw this old woman bringing her relatives to make trouble today. Those people behind her! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, an old toad. The little toad can't eat swan meat, so the old toad is here to extort money!"

Hearing others calling him a toad, Tan's mother's defenses were immediately broken. She jumped up and yelled, "You are the toad! Everyone in your family is a toad! My son is the only son in three generations! He is an only child! How can he not be worthy of that little bitch named Zhang? I don't even know how much she liked my son before!"

"Oh, you're just a toad that grew up next to a manure pit! You're still trying to make connections with people. I mean, how could the police target you for no reason?"

Tan's mother jumped up and was about to have a fight with the vicious-mouthed auntie, but the relatives behind her stopped her.

The onlookers saw that this was just a psychopath and stopped watching the fun, and most of them dispersed.

When a new wave of people arrived, Tan's mother started making a fuss again.

Xia Wange finally understood that Tan's mother just wanted to create momentum and force her to show up and pay money to settle the matter at the cost of a bad reputation. Or she could incite some people to stand on Tan's mother's side, smash her store, and force her to pay money with the public's saliva.

Changing his posture and continuing to watch the fun, Xia Wange felt that his description was too grandiose. This was a typical way of extorting money.

Unfortunately, this is not their village, and she does not have a mass base here. She cannot make a big fuss and cannot attract people to follow her. The older people are well-informed and know that this is a way to extort money and they need people to watch. If there is no one watching, it will be difficult for them to operate, so they did not look at it for long and went home directly.

When it got late at night, only young people were passing by. When they saw the other person throwing a tantrum, they thought it was strange, so they took a video and left, for they were afraid that the psychopath would suddenly go crazy and hurt others.

So after several rounds of commotion, Tan's mother did not achieve the desired effect and even made her voice hoarse.

"Second Mother, how can we do this? It's hard to do this without someone to back us up. We can't ruin her reputation and threaten her. Our purpose is not to block the store, but to block people and make them pay." A sturdy man with a scar on his head said, "How about we wait until tomorrow daytime? We can't get through the phone number above, and it's not good to curse people. Second Mother knows that you are in a hurry to get the money, but we can't ask for money in such a shameful way, right?"

"Shameful, what does shameful mean? That bitch killed my son, why should I ask her for compensation?!" The dusty mother of Tan got up and pointed at the few people who were still watching the excitement and said fiercely: "No one is watching? How come no one is watching? Aren't they human? Today I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven, smash the store of this swindler, and use the stolen money to sacrifice to my son!"

As she spoke, Tan's mother picked up a brick from the ground and prepared to smash it against the glass door.

Just as the brick was about to touch the glass door, a slender hand reached out and caught the brick steadily. In the shocked eyes of several people, Xia Wange held up the wind-blown hair on her forehead with one hand, weighed the brick with the other hand, and said with a curled lip, "You dare to smash my store, you are quite brave."
