"Third brother's wife, how can you say that? Do I look like that kind of person?" Li Ermei was a little angry.
Fang Yan chuckled inwardly. *Do you think I'm someone you've only just met?*
Is this another trick you're using on me?
She didn't say anything, just stared at her with a "what do you think?" expression.
Li Ermei felt a chill run down her spine from Fang Yan's gaze and could only quickly shift her attention, immediately putting on a warm face and reaching out to help Fang Yan carry the large iron bucket in her hand, "Third sister-in-law, is this iron bucket heavy? Let me help you carry it."
Fang Yan didn't stand on ceremony and let her take it.
Li Ermei eagerly lifted the lid, only to be greatly disappointed to find that there wasn't even a drop of braising liquid left in the iron bucket. "How come there's no braising liquid left?"
The aroma alone was so enticing that it made her mouth water. Even without pig's head meat and intestines, she would do anything to bring the braising liquid home.
Fang Yan leisurely took the iron bucket back, saying, "All delivered."
"Send it!" Li Ermei's scream echoed through the sky. "Third brother's wife, how can you be so wasteful? Our parents are still starving at home, while you're out there acting like a good person."
Her shout brought out all the neighbors on both sides.
As soon as they came out, they heard Li Ermei's words, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. "Big Tree's family, is it your stepfather and mother-in-law again who sent you to the Third Brother's family to forcibly take what you want?"
"Pah! Big Tree's family, I'm telling you, if you want to stay in the village, you should at least have some shame, right? Third Brother has already cut ties with you and separated from your family, so what are you still talking about parents for?"
"Trying to take over the third brother's family's braised food? Fine, first give back the third brother's mother's dowry and the third brother's allowances over the past ten years."
...
These words, one after another, made Li Ermei extremely ashamed, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and argue with everyone, "This is our own family matter. You gossipy women, no matter how long your hands are, you can't interfere in our family affairs."
"It's a family matter, right?" Fang Yan put the iron bucket down at her feet and looked directly at Li Ermei. "Then I should have the right to talk about it, shouldn't I?"
“You…of course you’re qualified.” Li Ermei knew that Fang Yan definitely wouldn’t say anything nice to her, but what could she do?
She insisted on getting involved with them, so now she can only grit her teeth and say it.
“If you’ve left your brain at home, or if you don’t have a brain at all, I don’t mind reminding you again. You’d better remember this: our family and Zhang Laowu’s den of snakes and rats have severed ties and separated. Whether they eat meat every day or swill every day is none of our business. Now, you can leave.”
If it weren't for the fact that there were children watching nearby and Xiaoyuzi was also around, given Fang Yan's explosive temper, she could have said those words dozens of times more rudely.
She has been quite restrained in order not to corrupt the children.
"Oh dear..." Li Ermei was both angry and resentful inside, but on the surface she had to put on a warm front. "Don't be like that. I was just worried that you'd get ripped off since it's your first time doing business, so I thought I'd come and teach you."
"Then I thank your entire family and ancestors," Fang Yan said sarcastically.
Li Ermei could tell the difference between kind words and harsh words.
Upon hearing this, she knew it couldn't be anything nice, and Li Ermei was at a loss for words.
Holding his breath, he glared fiercely at Fang Yan.
"Even if this is my first time doing business, I still have some experience. Do I need someone like you, who has never done business before, to teach me?"
Fang Yan's face darkened, and she glared at Li Ermei. "I don't care what you're here for. If you leave now, I'll still give you some face. But if you wait until I go in and get a broom, don't blame me for not saving face for you in front of everyone."
Fang Yan didn't want to give a kind look to anyone from the Zhang family.
Not to mention Li Ermei, the wicked sister-in-law who bullied the original owner so much, she also hated Gao Dashu and refused to see him!
Li Ermei had no idea what Fang Yan had gone through.
Why is it that just changing her name by removing the character "燕" (Yan) makes her seem like a completely different person?
Li Ermei was very clear that Fang Yan was absolutely true to her word.
Not wanting to end up being chased by Fang Yan with a broom, Li Ermei turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered, oh no! She had almost forgotten the real purpose of her trip because of this braising sauce.
Thinking of this, Li Ermei quickly turned around and rushed to Fang Yan, saying, "You must keep a close eye on your son."
Fang Yan still hadn't reacted?
Then Li Ermei said again, "Third brother's wife, I came here secretly to tell you this, so you owe me a favor. You must pay me back when I ask you for it in the future."
Fang Yan: ...
!!
At that moment, she felt like thousands of alpacas were galloping through her mind.
Holy crap!
I've heard of moral blackmail;
I've also heard of people staging accidents to extort money.
However, Fang Yan had never encountered this situation before.
What is this called?
Is this a case of favors being used to stage an accident and then kidnapping?
Li Ermei seemed unwilling to give Fang Yan time to react. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to run away.
"Stop!" Fang Yan shouted at her immediately.
Of course, Li Ermei wouldn't listen.
She was only interested in extorting Fang Yan's favor, so how could she possibly obediently stand still?
But with Qibei here, who can outrun it?
Without Fang Yan needing to give any orders, Li Ermei obediently stopped when she saw that she hadn't listened to her master.
Without saying a word, Qibei took off and rushed towards Li Ermei, using his strong body to block her way.
He bared his teeth and glared at her fiercely, as if warning her, "If you dare to run again, I'll bite you!"
Chiba is a large dog, and that snarling look is quite frightening.
Li Ermei's legs went weak, and she dared not run anymore.
Fang Yan walked up from behind and circled around to Li Ermei, mimicking Li Ermei's earlier act of using a staged kidnapping to repay a favor, saying, "I can repay this favor to you right now."
"No……"
Li Ermei wanted to say there was no need to rush, but Fang Yan didn't give her a chance to speak at all. "Go back and tell Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei that today, Fang Baishuang was arrested for harboring children and attempting to lure and murder women. She has been taken to a place where no one knows her and is being kept under guard. Tell them to think about Fang Baishuang's fate before they do anything bad in the future."
"She really...got arrested?"
This news shocked Li Ermei so much that her eyes widened. "Are you sure it's because of this?"
Because it was she who acted as an intermediary, relaying the message between Fang Baishuang and Zhang Laowu regarding the matter of hiding the little fish and luring Fang Yan to Lion's Roar Ridge.
If Fang Baishuang goes in, does that mean she has to go in too?
Li Ermei collapsed to the ground...
