When Bai Meicui, her mother, heard about Qiao Xiaoling's disappearance, she was extremely worried and kept crying while holding her handkerchief.
"Xiaoling seems to be very obedient, so why did she run away without saying a word? She is so ignorant!" Although Old Lady Bai seems to be very fond of Qiao Xiaoling, when something really happened, she would get herself out of the situation immediately.
Compared to her granddaughter Qiao Xiaoling, Old Mrs. Bai obviously felt more sorry for the one hundred yuan betrothal gift.
Mother Cai, who was sitting on a stool, slammed the table and insisted, "Today I have only one request. You Bai family either hand over the person or return the money!"
"But we can't contact Xiaoling. We really don't know where she went. She hasn't come back once in this period of time." Bai Meicui said weakly.
Old Mrs. Bai tilted her neck high, pretending to be reasonable, "That's right! We can't hand over Xiaoling. We've already spent the hundred yuan and can't get it back!"
Cai's mother glanced around the room, and finally fixed her cloudy eyes on Bai Qiaolan standing in the corner, "Old Lady Bai, you have more than one granddaughter. That granddaughter ran away, so you can use another one to pay off the debt."
Bai Qiaolan's body trembled, and she shouted in panic, "No! No, I don't want to get married!"
"No! No matter what I say!" Old Mrs. Bai also quickly refused: "I have already married Xiaoling to your family, and I still need to marry this granddaughter to someone else and receive a betrothal gift."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiaolan's heart, which had just risen with hope, suddenly sank again, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Oh, how could she expect her grandmother to suddenly have a change of heart and protect her?
It was obvious that her grandmother treated her and Bai Ying's granddaughters as rare commodities, and was always eager to brag about their practicality to buyers, wanting to sell them at a high price.
So in the end, rather than outsiders harming her and Bai Ying, it's more accurate to say that the person who has been trying to harm them all along is Grandma...
"Do you think you still have a chance to choose?" Cai's mother snorted coldly and called out to the people she brought with her. "If the Bai family doesn't want to hand over people or money, then we will take away all of their pots, pans, furniture, and bedding. I don't believe we can raise 120 yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people started moving in the Bai family's old house.
The looting, smashing, burning and smashing looked like Japanese invaders invading the village.
"stop!"
Bai Maozhong and other adult men rushed forward to try to stop them, but they were either scratched in the face or beaten with black eyes.
The number of people brought by Cai's mother was too large and their fighting power was too strong, so the Bai family was defeated one after another.
"Oh my god!"
Old Lady Bai sat on the ground and howled bitterly, "Robbers! You robbers! These are all the things I have saved for most of my life! They are my precious treasures!"
Cai's mother limped over to Old Lady Bai and gave her a toothless, evil smile. "What do you think? Do you want to hand over the person? Or do you want to use your belongings to pay off the debt?"
"Hand him over! I choose to hand him over!"
Old Lady Bai pointed at Bai Qiaolan without hesitation and said, "Take this little girl away quickly and put down all my precious pots and pans!"
Cai's mother finally smiled with satisfaction, "Sister Bai, I knew you were a smart person."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Cai's mother stopped the people from smashing and looting, and signaled them to arrest Bai Qiaolan, "Hurry and bring our new daughter-in-law back home!"
“…”
Bai Qiaolan had long been numb.
She was not surprised by the choice made by Old Lady Bai. After all, Old Lady Bai was the kind of old woman who treated her granddaughter as a non-human being.
But she really didn't want to follow Cai's mother and others to live in a place where they were unfamiliar with the place!
You should know that with Bai Ying's help, her skills in making underwear have spread to several nearby brigades. Many female educated youth and female members would ask her to help make underwear. After deducting the profits shared with Bai Ying, she also earned dozens of yuan herself.
She used most of the money to buy fabrics to make more underwear later, leaving her with less than ten yuan, which was far from enough to pay off the one hundred yuan betrothal debt!
Seeing Cai's mother's men gradually approaching her, Bai Qiaolan kept backing away until she reached the corner with nowhere to retreat. She could only look at her parents beside her as if begging.
"Mom and Dad, you will protect me, right?"
Bai Maozhong and his wife quickly turned their heads away. Although they looked forbearing, they did not say a word.
The answer is already obvious.
Her parents didn't love her either. The only person they cared about was her younger brother Bai Dashan, as if she, a daughter, was just a bonus to having a son.
"Oh."
Bai Qiaolan sneered, wiped away the tears that were flowing down her face, and glared at everyone in the room angrily.
"If you dare come over here, I'll hit my head and die right here! You can bring a dead person back to marry your stupid son!"
Bai Qiaolan also became furious and put her hands against the wall, as if she was ready to bang her head against it at any time.
"Well, you little girl dares to threaten me!" Cai's mother also became angry and continued to shout, "Don't worry about her, hold her down and take her back!"
Several people stepped forward again.
Bang!
A look of determination flashed in Bai Qiaolan's eyes, and she slammed her head against the wall without hesitation.
With a muffled thud, Bai Qiaolan's body collapsed to the ground, her forehead bloodied and mangled, making her pretty face look somewhat hideous and terrifying.
No one expected that Bai Qiaolan would actually dare to hit her head against the wall!
Fortunately, the Bai family's old house had been in disrepair for a long time, and the walls were still made of mud, so it was impossible to hit anyone to death. What Bai Qiaolan did made it easier for Cai's mother's people to take her away.
