After Fugui left that day, Yao's father and mother finally managed to break free.
He hurriedly pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes and saw that the three suitcases were empty.
Forget three million, we don't even have three hundred.
The two of them suddenly felt dizzy, as if struck by lightning.
When they went outside, they found their intellectually disabled son lying unconscious on the ground, and the couple almost went crazy.
Yao's mother rolled on the ground, crying her heart out, and berated Xia Mingyue mercilessly.
That damned brat not only had them beaten up, but also took all their money, and in the end, she didn't even spare Congcong.
After Yao Congcong woke up, the two searched high and low in the house until they had enough money for the trip, and then they went to find Xia Mingyue to demand an explanation.
Hmph, if we don't let them have it easy, then she can forget about living comfortably as a pampered young lady.
Before he could even leave the house, Li the Cripple and his men blocked his way inside.
When Li the Cripple read the letter left by Fu Gui, he was instantly enraged. How dare Yao Dacheng deceive him!
Do you really think he, Li the Cripple, is a pushover?
Li the Cripple immediately called a few of his henchmen to storm the Yao family's house, where they blocked the family of three who were about to leave.
Now Li the Cripple was even more certain that what the letter said was true: the Yao family had cheated him out of his betrothal money and were planning to run away with it.
Li the Cripple laughed in anger and said to the panicked Yao's father, "You took my 200,000 and you think you can run away? Be smart, either give me the money or give me the person."
Yao's father couldn't provide either the person or the money.
Li the Cripple, he's someone you can't afford to mess with.
With a forced smile, Yao's father said, "Brother Li, could you please grant me a few more days? I will personally deliver Wangdi to your home."
Li the Cripple sneered: "You still dare to lie to me? Yao Wangdi ran away a long time ago. Besides, is she your daughter? You dare to sell her?"
Mr. and Mrs. Yao were shocked. How did Li the Cripple know?
Seeing that he was still lying to him, the scar on Li the Cripple's left cheek twitched, and he looked fierce and menacing.
"Yao Dacheng, let me tell you, if you don't return my 200,000 yuan today, I'll kill your whole family."
Yao's mother burst into tears. They did want to pay back, but they really couldn't come up with the money. That bastard Xia Mingyue was trying to kill them.
Mr. Yao said with a mournful face, "The money was stolen, and we really can't come up with it. We'll give it back to you once we get it back from that brat."
"It was stolen?"
Li the Cripple's face twisted in a rage: "You think I'm an idiot? Beat him up!"
So, the Yao family of three, who had just been beaten by Fugui, were beaten again by Li the Cripple and a few thugs, and were crawling all over the yard.
Li the Cripple was convinced that Yao's father had hidden the money, so he led his men to search the entire house but couldn't find a single coin.
Li the Cripple flew into a rage and personally smashed the Yao family's house with a sledgehammer.
Yao Congcong, who is mentally challenged, was beaten black and blue, but he never learned his lesson.
Looking at Li the Cripple's comical gait, he actually pointed at his lame leg and laughed, "Hehe, sometimes high, sometimes low, it's so funny..."
Yao's mother rushed over and quickly covered his mouth, apologizing to Li the Cripple with a look of horror.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he didn't mean it. He's just a child, he doesn't understand anything."
Li the Cripple's smile grew even more ferocious.
He looked at the 1.8-meter-tall child in front of him, yanked Yao's mother away, and smashed the sledgehammer hard against Yao Congcong's leg.
With a "crack," Yao Congcong let out a pig-like scream, clutching her legs and rolling on the ground, calling for her mother.
“Congcong…”
"son……"
The two crawled over and hugged Yao Congcong tightly; this blow felt like a blow to their hearts.
Li the Cripple pointed his sledgehammer at Yao Congcong and asked, "Now you're all set, you'll be going up and down from now on, isn't that fun?"
No one answered him, and the Yao family of three trembled and wept together.
Li the Cripple's face was fierce: "Today is just an appetizer. If you don't pay back the money in a day, I'll bring my men to collect it every time."
Don't even think about running away; someone's watching you. Like I said before, it's either pay back the money, give it to them, or die.
After saying that, Li the Cripple left with his men.
Mr. and Mrs. Yao wept bitterly, cursing Xia Mingyue as they cried.
From that day on, Li the Cripple would bring people to ask for money every day.
If they couldn't pay back the money, they would be beaten like punching bags. After a few days, they were covered in sores that they would tremble with fear at the sound of the door.
During this period, the village party secretary also tried to mediate the case, but the Yao family was in the wrong from the start.
Although Yao Wangdi was a bit young, they lived in a remote and impoverished area, and as long as the two families reached an agreement, no one cared about such things.
Yao Dacheng accepted 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts from Li the Cripple. Now that his daughter has run away, he should return the betrothal gifts.
But they refused to return the money, claiming it had been stolen.
Not to mention Li the Cripple, anyone would find it unbearable; 200,000 is an astronomical sum for them.
The village secretary could only try to persuade Yao's father to return the money while warning Li the Cripple not to cause any deaths.
Li the Cripple didn't want to kill anyone and go to jail again, but he absolutely couldn't accept losing both his money and his loved ones.
He spread the word everywhere that Yao Wangdi was not the Yao family's biological daughter, which caused a lot of gossip among those around him.
"No wonder, I suspected it before. Even if they didn't like girls, they wouldn't be as rude as the Yao couple. They really aren't their biological children."
"Wangdi is such a good child, so hardworking and capable, much better than that idiot in their family. Those two are really awful, they often beat the child until she's covered in bruises."
"Not only that, they also don't feed her. The child has fainted from hunger several times, and I've even tried to feed her."
"Everyone knows who Li the Cripple is. I also coveted that 200,000 yuan dowry, but I never thought of pushing my daughter into a fire pit. Only Yao Dacheng is inhuman."
"Luckily, Wangdi ran away. Good riddance. Yao Dacheng, that miser, refuses to pay back the money no matter what. He deserves to be beaten by Li the Cripple every day."
Half a month passed like this, and Li the Cripple finally lost his patience.
He went to the Yao family with a knife in his hand.
