Chapter 122: A huge trap!
This person is Wang Min.
He could not let go of Wang Jun's death, and he could not forget the last time Su Mengxue and the others went to Linxi Village to bully him. He secretly swore in his heart countless times that he must take revenge on Su Mengxue, Gu Yunting and the others, otherwise his life would be in vain.
After investigating them and finding out that Su Mengxue was not her biological child, he thought about it and decided to make a fuss about her adoptive parents.
He first went to the countryside to find Su Mengxue's adoptive parents to find out more, and soon discovered that they were all greedy for money. So he came up with a plan, and after getting close to them and gaining their trust, he told them about Su Mengxue's pregnancy.
At the same time, let them come to Jiangbei to find Su Mengxue, and then go to the Gu family to ask for status and betrothal gifts.
He never expected them to be so superficial that they were dismissed with just 500 yuan. He continued to provoke them, "Are you really that stupid? Su Mengxue said she would abort the child, and you believed her? The Gu family is powerful in Jiangbei. How could she really be willing to abort the child? She must have said that to get you to go back to the countryside."
Su Daqiang pursed his lips and said confidently, "We've watched her grow up. If she lied, she would blush, not look calm like she did just now. Besides, if she hadn't aborted the baby, she should have agreed to let us go to the Gu family to help her get a legitimate status. How could she have sent us away?"
He thought for a moment and continued his analysis, "Besides, although we don't know Gu Yunting well, we have met the old man of the Gu family a few times. He's not the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged an engagement with our family. If the dead girl really hadn't aborted the baby, the old man of the Gu family would never have allowed her to wander around. He should have sent someone to write to us to discuss the marriage a long time ago. Maybe the old man is still angry about her aborting the baby, so he ignored her."
Wu Xianghong thought differently from Su Daqiang. After she came to Jiangbei, she obviously found that Su Mengxue had become different from before. She was no longer the innocent, well-behaved and shy girl. She was smarter and more capable than before. She also began to have her own opinions and was no longer weak and easy to control.
How could she change so much all of a sudden? She was like a completely different person?
Without waiting for her to delve into the details, Wang Min asked, "Tell me what else Su Mengxue said to you. I'll analyze it for you."
After Su Daqiang finished speaking, Wang Min raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Did Su Mengxue really say that about Gu Yunting?"
Su Daqiang nodded: "That's what she said."
Wang Min sneered and said firmly, "You believed her obvious lie. She must have been lying to you. If she hadn't been held back when Gu Yunting was beaten last time, she would have rushed over immediately. She cares about Gu Yunting so much, so how could she say that to him? Besides, what's Gu Yunting's status and appearance? How could a country girl like her despise him? I'm sure she was lying to you."
Just as Wu Xianghong's thoughts were drifting, Wang Min added, "I saw it with my own eyes that day. When Shunzi from our village picked up a stick to hit her, she tightly protected her belly. Furthermore, Gu Yunting valued her more than his own life. How could he possibly agree to Su Mengxue having an abortion?"
His eyebrows moved slightly, and he guessed, "I suspect they are having a quarrel, or Su Mengxue feels that the conditions of joining the army are too harsh, so she doesn't want to go. In addition, the old man of the Gu family is recuperating in the hospital, and Su Mengxue doesn't get along with Gu Weiguo's family. Maybe she is afraid that Gu Weiguo and his family will harm her unborn child, so she doesn't want to go to the Gu family. In short, unless Su Mengxue can produce evidence, I won't believe what she said."
Seeing them both standing there in a daze, Wang Min patiently explained, "As for why she lied to you, it's easy to explain. She was afraid you'd use her pregnancy to ask the Gu family for money. After all, the Gu family is much more important to her right now than you. Otherwise, why would she be so eager to send you away? You're uneducated country folk, and your family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. She's long since disliked you for being a nuisance."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong immediately became furious. What they cared about most was money, so how could they allow Su Mengxue to block their way to wealth.
The two said in unison: "Then how should we deal with her?"
Wang Min had a lot of dirty tricks up his sleeve. He waved at the two of them, motioning them to come over.
Then he leaned close to their ears and said, "If you want to listen to me, then go back to her. Since she said she aborted the child, let her produce evidence. Also, didn't she say she disliked Gu Yunting? I'll give you a tape recorder. Remember to record these words when the time comes. I have a use for them."
Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong had decided to go back to find Su Mengxue, but Wu Xianghong was a little worried about the tape recorder. They didn't know the man's background. If he took the tape recorder to the Gu family, then this damn girl would never be able to marry into the Gu family.
No matter what, no matter how bad their relationship with her is, they are still her nominal parents. They will have to rely on her as a cash cow in the future, and she can't let others take advantage of her.
Wang Min saw Wu Xianghong's expression change and realized what she was thinking. He suddenly had an idea and said, "You should have seen her attitude towards you. Even if she really climbs up the social ladder in the future, what do you think the first thing she would do?"
Wu Xianghong and Su Daqiang were silent at first, and then Su Daqiang said with wide eyes: "Are you going to cut off ties with us?"
Wang Min smiled at him and said, "You're not stupid. You're all country folk. You'll affect her future. She's eager to cut ties with you. Her attitude towards you today is proof of that. You won't get any benefits from her in the future."
Wu Xianghong stared at Wang Min and asked, "If we do as you say, what benefits will you give us?"
Wang Min stretched out his hand and waved it at them: "Five hundred yuan."
Wu Xianghong was thinking about buying a job for the eldest son in the city, asking for a dowry for the second son to marry, and renovating the house. Including what Su Mengxue had just given him, one thousand yuan should be enough.
Thinking of Su Mengxue's disdain for them today, she made up her mind and replied, "Deal, but you have to pay first!"
Wang Min's face darkened as he spoke in a cold voice, "You don't trust me? If I hadn't told you about Su Mengxue's pregnancy and asked you to come to Jiangbei to find her, you wouldn't have gotten a penny! It's fine if you don't thank me, but don't you trust me at all?"
Wu Xianghong said calmly, "I only care about money, not people. Either you give me the money immediately, or we will go back to our hometown! This damn girl is our daughter after all, she can't change this fact. No matter who she marries in the future, we will get the betrothal gift. If we do as you say, what if you give the gift to the wrong person and she finds out, she will definitely not recognize us in the future, which will completely cut off our source of income."
Seeing that neither of them would give in, Su Daqiang was afraid that the talks would fall apart, so he smiled and said, "How about this, after the deal is done, we'll exchange the money and the goods."
This is what Wang Min was waiting for. He didn't have any money to give them. Once they got the things, he would have plenty of ways to get something for nothing. He couldn't show it too obviously, so he could only reluctantly respond, "Okay, let's do as you say. When the time comes, we'll pay and get the goods!"
He added, "Okay, you guys sit here and wait. I'll go find the tape recorder."
Wang Min was too lazy to farm. He usually relied on stealing things in the city to support himself, so stealing a tape recorder was nothing. Half an hour later, he stole a tape recorder from another passenger.
Then she quickly took Su Daqiang and Xu Xianghong out of the station. After walking out of the door and turning left and right into the alley, she taught them how to use the recorder and told them to hide it in their bag and turn on the recording button when they were about to see her.
An hour later, Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong appeared in Zhou Ji's tailor shop again. Su Mengxue felt sick when she saw them.
