“I know what that thing is; I heard it’s a family heirloom. I didn’t want to bring it up... but if she hadn’t stopped me, you would have already…”
His tone carried a hint of grievance.
In his view, although his sister-in-law was assertive, she was also thinking of the family.
"What if we hadn't done it earlier? You two would have driven me to hang myself, wouldn't you?"
Liu Yuelan was practically yelling.
She approached Shen Zhiyu step by step, pointing her finger directly at the tip of his nose.
"Who said I'm dead? Huh? Who saw me die?"
She didn't die; she came back.
Carrying the memories and hatred of their past lives, they will never again be at the mercy of others.
"It's her mother! It's Zhang Cuihua! She tried to kill me to cover it up when I wasn't looking! This is premeditated murder!"
She spat out each word through gritted teeth, her eyes bloodshot.
The moment the stick struck.
She vividly remembers the excruciating pain of that dizzying sensation.
That was murder, blatant murder!
"And Su Qingzhi, what right did she have to run off with my dowry money? Isn't that fraud? Isn't that illegal?"
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth twitched and her lips turned up slightly.
That smile held no warmth whatsoever; instead, it was like frost on a winter night.
She glanced quickly at the wooden door.
The corridor outside the crack in the door was deserted, but she still wouldn't let go.
But the words spoken were even colder and more chilling.
"Either give me back the ring, or I'll give you a thousand yuan. I'll just consider it as feeding a stray dog and not want to see it again! I can pretend this never happened, as if she never stepped foot in my house!"
"If she doesn't pay it back? Then I will never let this go! I will sue her, for wearing a mask of high-mindedness while blatantly swindling workers and peasants out of their money! Everyone should kill this kind of person! I will make her suffer and make her unable to hold her head up in front of the whole village!"
"Pah! What is she anyway! If she had shamelessly married into the Shen family, in this day and age, she should have been sent to the village brigade for education long ago, toiling in the fields, instead of wandering around here!"
Shen Zhiyu's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted sharply.
He stood there, stunned.
this……
Is this still Liu Yuelan?
It can't be...
It's been possessed by some unclean spirit, isn't it?
Otherwise, how could he suddenly become so harsh and ruthless?
"Lan Yin, do you... do you remember when you had your first date?"
He asked tentatively, his voice trembling slightly.
Before he could finish speaking, she grabbed his wrist tightly.
"What? You're still trying to renege on your promise? You're still pretending to have amnesia? That summer, you said you'd take me to see fireflies, that there would be patches of light in the woods behind the mountain at night, and what happened? You tricked me into going to that messy graveyard! Weren't you just trying to take advantage of me back then? If I hadn't struggled so hard and screamed my lungs out, you would have already succeeded!"
"Shen Zhiyu, stop pretending to be high and mighty! Stop putting on this gentlemanly act! I know exactly what you're capable of! Do you really think I'm completely unaware of what you've been up to all these years? I don't believe you can watch Su Qingzhi take a thousand yuan for nothing without feeling resentful and seething inside!"
Hearing her recount the past events with perfect accuracy, even remembering the details of the chaotic graveyard on the back mountain, Shen Zhiyu finally felt somewhat at ease.
To be honest, I still remember the scene of me humbly handing over those crumpled stacks of banknotes to Su Qingzhi.
He also had a fire burning inside him.
If I can't get my money back, at least I can get the ring back!
He turned and left, his jaw clenched.
At this moment, Su Qingzhi was sitting quietly on a small wooden stool in the center of the room.
She was wearing a faded blue cotton dress with the cuffs slightly rolled up.
On her left hand, she wore an old-fashioned ring.
The ring is made of translucent jadeite with a warm and lustrous texture, and it shimmers with a soft green color under light.
A small, flat, round jade stone is embedded in the center, with its edges polished smooth.
The jade was extremely dark in color, almost dark red.
Shen Zhiyu didn't even knock before pushing the door open and barging in.
The wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud bang, making the window paper vibrate.
Then I saw Su Qingzhi standing by the window, holding a pair of silver-white scissors in her hand.
She was slowly trimming a bunch of wildflowers she had just picked.
Shen Zhiyu stood at the door, his throat tightening as if something invisible was choking him.
He subconsciously swallowed, his voice unconsciously lowering a few decibels.
“…Sister-in-law.”
"Um?"
Su Qingzhi did not turn around immediately, but her fingertips paused slightly.
The blade of the scissors paused for a moment at the edge of the petal.
She then slowly turned around.
whispering sound.
She sneered inwardly.
"Did you need something?"
"Ah... that..."
Shen Zhiyu's lips moved dryly.
He originally intended to get straight to the point and ask for the return of the 1,000 yuan dowry he had previously given out.
But the words, which had just reached his throat, were swallowed back down by himself.
He knew he couldn't say it too bluntly.
Otherwise, not only will we not get it back, but things will also turn ugly.
So he stood there, at a loss, pointing tremblingly to the ring on Su Qingzhi's right ring finger, and said with an awkward laugh, "The ring..."
Su Qingzhi immediately understood what he was planning.
She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, forming a curved line.
The smile remained only on his face, not reaching his eyes.
"A ring? Why is my second brother suddenly interested in this old man?"
As she spoke, she casually raised her hand, the movement seemingly effortless.
But the jade ring on her finger gleamed faintly in the sunlight streaming in from the window.
The jade was a deep, dark color, with a faint hint of dark red.
