Lu Zhixia took out her wallet from her pocket, took out the prepared 100-yuan note from it, and handed it over.
"This is for you."
Sun Meihua eagerly took them, counted them, and found only five. Her face immediately fell.
"How can that be all? You got the house and compensation!"
Lu Zhixia reached out and snatched the money back, saying, "If you don't want it, then I don't need to give it to you."
“But you received so much, and you only gave me fifty yuan!” Sun Meihua said indignantly. “Without me, how could you have won the case?”
Lu Zhixia said, "It's true that you spoke up for me, otherwise I wouldn't have given you fifty yuan." She waved the money in her hand. "Do you want it or not?"
Sun Meihua realized that if she hadn't taken it, it would have been gone, so she had no choice but to reach out her hand.
Lu Zhixia returned the money to her, saying, "Remember to be a good person in the future!"
Sun Meihua received the money again, counted it carefully once more, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it did she put it in her pocket.
"Never again!"
She thought to herself that she should have asked for the money before the trial, as the amount was far too small for her.
Song Weidong, standing to the side, broke down his guard; he'd been sold off for just 50 yuan. He watched as Sun Meihua walked past him.
"Are you stupid, woman? If you want money, you can come to me. Why are you taking her money!"
"That's because she's more trustworthy than you. I worked myself to the bone at your house for almost a month, and you didn't give me a single penny!" Sun Meihua said angrily, hands on her hips. "And you've been spreading rumors about me everywhere, making it impossible for me to find work around here. Have you ever thought about how I'm supposed to live?" She pointed a finger at the man's face.
"You deserve to end up like this!"
"You shrew!" Song Weidong gritted his teeth and managed to utter only four words.
"Then you're still an idiot!" Sun Meihua deliberately bumped into the man with her body, and when she saw him fall to the ground with a thud, she immediately burst into laughter, then turned and left.
Song Weidong was finally pulled up by his sister; the woman was nowhere to be seen. He saw Lu Zhixia walk past him.
You'll regret this!
Lu Zhixia turned around, "My biggest regret is meeting you! And I'm only giving you one day to vacate the house; I'm selling it. If you're still living there when I come to take it back, I'll throw your whole family out. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
The woman's cold gaze made Song Weidong instantly feel that he had lost something extremely important.
Song Yaozu saw his mother walk past without even glancing at her, so he shouted loudly.
"If you don't want me, then I won't want you either!"
"Lu Zhixia! I hate you! You don't deserve to be a mother!"
Hearing what her child of 10 years had to say, Lu Zhixia didn't linger and quickly got into the car.
Guo Chen stood at the car door, feeling a little awkward. He couldn't get in, so he could only tell Lu Zhixia...
"Old classmate! Let's get together sometime, I'll treat you to dinner."
"We'll see!" Lu Zhixia replied. She knew what Guo Chen was planning.
Some things are lost forever; she can't be with Guo Chen!
That would remind her of Chen Jianing, so the most direct solution is to stop seeing each other and live our own lives.
Gu Lingxiao coughed, signaling Xiao Zhang to hurry up and drive; this man was a persistent and formidable opponent!
Looks like I need to confess my feelings sooner rather than later; I can't let him get the upper hand!
Xiao Zhang was eating watermelon when he heard a cough, so he quickly drove off.
He thought to himself, how could he laugh at the captain?
This man is clearly also one of my sister-in-law's suitors!
That's right, starting today.
In his heart, Lu Zhixia was like a sister-in-law. He was really worried about the captain. When would he be able to win the heart of the beauty and marry her?
It started to drizzle again. Lu Zhixia saw some umbrellas on a tricycle parked by the roadside, and someone was selling them.
Judging from the appearance of the umbrellas, they are not local umbrellas. It seems that someone went to another place to import a batch of umbrellas to sell.
However, she estimates that those 2,000-plus umbrellas should have already been sold.
"Captain Gu! I'd like to ask if the troops are satisfied with the umbrellas?"
"Very satisfied," Gu Lingxiao said.
Xiao Zhang turned the car around and quickly interjected, "We're not just satisfied, we absolutely love them! Some of them even sent the umbrellas home so their families can use them properly! It's a testament to their pride!"
Lu Zhixia smiled, her eyes crinkling beautifully.
Gu Lingxiao was so stunned that he forgot what he was about to say.
Lu Zhixia sensed something was wrong with him, so she waved her right hand at his face, and only then did he come back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."
"oh!"
What are your plans next?
"I'll sell the house first to raise some money, and with the money I have on hand, I should have about 2,000 yuan. I'm going to go find that doctor and ask about what happened back then!"
"Then I'll go with you."
"You still have two more courses of acupuncture treatment."
"We can go see the doctor with you for three days in between when you finish another course of treatment."
"That's not a bad idea either." Lu Zhixia thought that as long as the arrangements were made properly, three days would be enough to get back, but that would mean she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well during the trip.
"But if you do that, your body won't get the chance to recover, and you'll be too tired."
"It's just a car ride, it's really nothing to me. I've been resting and recuperating during this time, so I can handle it perfectly well."
"Then when Grandpa Bai arrives, let him assess your physical condition. If it's possible, you can come with me."
