Chapter 121: Murder for Money
Wang Jinglian turned her head in a daze.
She had always thought that Lu Youyou was a kind and easy-going person, but today she had really broadened her horizons.
Old Mrs. Wu has been bullying people in the residential compound for many years. If people don't want to be "educated", they can only avoid her.
Wu Baozhu is not easy to get along with either, but she basically doesn't interact with the people in the family compound. She might not see them for ten days or half a month, and when she does meet them, they act as if they are disdainful of her.
The teacher's wife doesn't live here. She is very stylish, but we rarely interact with them.
Old Mrs. Wu is different. She is more stylish than the leader’s immediate family members.
She is seen everywhere every day. She likes to take advantage of her seniority and meddle in other people's affairs. She either beats and scolds her granddaughter at home, or goes out and criticizes her daughter-in-law for this or that.
There is no such thing as disturbing the public at this time, but the old woman's behavior is really a headache.
Those older than her don’t have as strong a “background” as her, and those who are not afraid of her are not as shameless as her. Over the years, Old Mrs. Wu has become the living devil of the family compound.
If a courtyard wall is really to be built someday, the old woman's neighbors will definitely be the first supporters.
How could such a terrible person be treated so lightly and confronted in person? And including Wu Baozhu?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Wang Jinglian would have wanted to give Lu Youyou a thumbs up.
Wu Baozhu has always considered herself a favored daughter of heaven. The greatest hardship she has experienced in her life is that her father treats Wu Weimin better than she does, and her husband's family are all poor country bumpkins.
She has never even had a serious argument with anyone, she always curses at others unilaterally.
Wu Baozhu thought Lu Youyou would start cursing like Old Lady Wu did, and she had already thought about how to respond, but who knew that the other party would not play by the rules.
Old Mrs. Wu felt as if she was hit on the head with a brick. She couldn't understand why she was so angry just because Lu Youyou said two sentences.
It shouldn't be like this!
But for Old Mrs. Wu, there is no quarrel in the world that cannot be resolved. If you don't know what to say, then just make a fuss.
"God damn it, a yellow-haired girl is so vicious. This old woman is several dozen years older than you, and you still have this attitude?"
She no longer despised her granddaughter. She walked to the wall in two or three steps, grabbed the frightened Qiu Qiu, and lifted up her trouser legs.
"You were the one who bandaged Qiu's leg wound, right? Now there's such a big scar left, and you dare to say it wasn't intentional?!"
Old Mrs. Wu spoke eloquently without even taking a breath.
"I've asked about it. It's not certain that you will get sick from the wind. You two just can't stand seeing our Wu family doing well. You sent Weimin to the hospital in the middle of the night, and the next day you made him soak in the sea for a whole day. You're trying to steal money and kill people!"
Wang Jinglian couldn't listen anymore. What the hell was he talking about?
If Lu Youyou hadn't bandaged Qiu Tian, they wouldn't have been able to stop the bleeding.
Tetanus may not necessarily occur, but who would dare to bet on that possibility? Only the Wu family did not take Qiu seriously. If it were other parents, they would definitely rush to the hospital without saying a word.
Lu Youyou didn't expect that the so-called ghost in the family compound was at this level. He couldn't even make trouble and started to destroy his own stage after just a few words.
She couldn't help but glance at Wang Jinglian.
Is it that your fighting ability is too weak, or are you too respectful to the elderly and loving the young that you are reluctant to "bully" the old lady?
Wang Jinglian was stunned by the look. What happened? What was wrong? Should she call for help?
Lu Youyou turned around and looked at the two women from the Wu family.
The young one is a fool, and the old one is not even as good as those old ladies who cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang themselves.
If Old Lady Wu lay down and tried to commit fraud immediately, she would have to consider whether she would make people angry to death. If she just talked nonsense, the lethality would be almost zero.
A faint smile spread across Lu Youyou's lips.
"Old lady, why don't you call Comrade Wu Weimin over? If he is willing to identify the victim, you can do whatever you want."
"Okay, okay, that's what you said!" The old lady immediately pushed Qiu Tian and said, "Go to the camp now to see if your father has finished get off work and ask him to go home quickly!"
Qiu Qiu was pushed and staggered several steps, almost falling to the ground. Wu Baozhu beside her didn't even extend her hand.
Qiu's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't want to go out and let her grandma bully Aunt Lu.
Qiu Qiu kept his head down and did nothing, which made the old lady angry. She couldn't hit Lu Youyou, but there was no problem in hitting her granddaughter.
A slap landed on Qiuqiu's back, and the muffled sound was heard by Lu Youyou even from such a distance.
"What are you doing standing there, you little girl? How dare you turn your elbow outward? That's the murderer who killed your father!" She slapped him several times, "Are you going or not? Are you going or not?!"
"stop!"
Lu Youyou and Wang Jinglian spoke almost at the same time. Who could bear to watch this scene?
Not to mention them, Xiaodong and the others who were playing on the street were so scared that they stood still. Every time Old Lady Wu patted them, they trembled, and all of them had looks of fear on their faces.
Before Lu Youyou and the other person stepped out of the courtyard, a series of footsteps came closer and closer.
Wu Weimin walked in the front, followed by Shen Shiling and Gu Qingye, but in less than three seconds, Gu Qingye appeared beside Lu Youyou, and soon Shen Shiling also arrived, leaving only Wu Weimin at the back.
Lu Youyou looked at the time. It was not yet six o'clock, so today ended early.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
Gu Qingye and Shen Xianling spoke one after another, and then they heard Wu Weimin rushing to the battlefield with anger suppressed.
"Mom, stop talking!"
When Old Mrs. Wu saw her son, she instantly gained confidence and rushed to him and started wailing.
"Son, tell me quickly, are those two people jealous of you and are they deliberately making trouble for you? There was no such a thing before, but now they are here and they are making trouble for you. You haven't had a good night's sleep in the past half month, my son!"
Wu Weimin's face turned pale and blue, and his teeth were grinding.
He could feel two burning gazes behind him, one from Gu Qingye and one from Shen Shiling.
It happened that the one who put the blame on him was his own mother, so it would be wrong for her to get angry or not.
Wu Weimin never expected that the old lady would bring up his casual complaint and speak it out in public, letting the person who least should have heard it hear it!
Even Shen Xianling, who worked for the party, joined the team for training. However, he, a deputy captain from a serious military background, complained about the hard training. He would be laughed at if he told others about it!
Anyone with eyes knows that the most ruthless person in Niusi Zhange's team is Gu Qingye. Does he dare to say that Gu Qingye is targeting him? Even if he reports it to his second uncle, his second uncle will not be able to take his side.
With so many people watching him, Wu Weimin feels like a thorn in his side.
"Mom, are you so angry that you are confused? How can you say such nonsense? Are you dizzy? Let me help you go in and rest."
Wu Weimin dragged my mother into the house. It would be better for me to take the blame at this time than to embarrass myself in front of my colleagues.
The old lady was forcibly pushed into the inner room, leaving only Qiu Qiu and Wu Baozhu in the Wu family's yard.
Wu Baozhu looked at the two couples not far away and clenched her fists tightly.
Where did Cao Xiangdong die? !
The superiors have returned, but he is still nowhere to be seen!
