Chapter 509 They've Come Knocking (Part 2)

Those watching the spectacle outside all knew about it and immediately began whispering among themselves.

"The Chen family is truly virtuous; they care so much about their daughter!"

"What's so special about that? I heard that all the children of her family who reached the appropriate age, whether boys or girls, were sent to school. They're the first in the whole area! And that chubby little girl even got first place in the whole school! A perfect score of 100!"

"I heard that the granddaughter who was sold was secretly sold by Wang Dahua's daughter! As soon as the Chen family elders heard the news, they immediately gathered their uncles and aunts and went into the mountains to demand her return. They searched for a whole day before bringing her back!"

...

Everyone knows what kind of people Old Li's family are; they don't treat their daughter like a human being at all, and at home they make her work like a beast of burden.

After getting married, she would often go to her husband's family to beg for money, which made her daughter look down on by her husband's family.

The Li family never cared about gossip. After all, being talked about wouldn't hurt them; the benefits they received were what mattered most!

So Old Lady Li retorted with complete righteous indignation, "This is money I earned through my own hard work, why should I pay it back?!"

The money's already in her pocket, and you're still thinking of getting it back? Dream on!

Besides, she didn't sell Sanni; she just acted as a middleman.

Blame Li Chunhua; what does it have to do with her?

Ma Xiulian said coldly, "What people do is seen by Heaven. Wang Dahua, a heartless person like you deserves to be struck by lightning!"

"What a joke! Sanni wasn't sold by me. Even if someone gets punished, it'll be Li Chunhua who gets punished! Besides, I, Wang Dahua, am not easily intimidated!" Old Lady Li wasn't afraid at all.

This isn't the first time she's sold her daughter!

If I were really going to get struck by lightning, I would have been struck dead eight hundred years ago!

We'll have to wait until then?!

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than a ferocious and powerful bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Old Li's chicken coop with a loud bang.

The thunder was deafening, and the chicken coop was instantly smashed to pieces.

The three chickens inside didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into black roasted chickens, their feathers all charred.

"Ah! My chickens!" Old Mrs. Li cried out in anguish, heartbroken for her three chickens.

These three old hens are laying an egg every day now!

The rest of the Li family were startled, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.

How could he actually be struck by lightning?!

The onlookers were also startled by the lightning, and someone deliberately shouted loudly, "Oh, the Li family is getting their comeuppance! Let's get away quickly, lest we get caught up in it!"

So the group of people all took several steps back, afraid that if another lightning bolt struck, it would affect them, the innocent bystanders.

The four Chen brothers looked at each other in dismay: Here we go again!

Just like in the mountain valley, their mother's mouth is absolutely blessed; she's always right!

"Give me back my money! If you don't pay me back, the next lightning bolt will strike your roof!" Ma Xiulian said, hands on her hips, taking a step forward with an imposing aura.

Old Mrs. Li looked up at the sky, and seeing that it didn't look like it was going to thunder, she pretended to be calm and said, "That was just a coincidence! Maybe God wanted to strike down some meddlesome people, but just missed. Besides, Ma Xiulian, who do you think you are?! God won't listen to you!"

"Boom!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the roof of the kitchen with a crackling sound, shattering the tiles that fell to the ground.
