Chapter 124: Money must be recovered sooner or later

Thinking of Xia Juanjuan, Liu Lan suddenly recalled the day when she pushed her to the ground in the yard and said with a smile that she would break her hands and feet. She felt a chill down her spine.

She is now not brave enough to confront Xia Juanjuan head-on, but she is still thinking of some tricks to deal with Xia Juanjuan!

However, the most urgent task now is to suppress the second son and his wife first!

Liu Lan suppressed her anger and cursed, "What do you mean by dividing the family? Look at how few people are left in the family, and you still want to divide it? You can divide it if you want. The third brother gives me 100 work points a month, and the fourth brother gives me 5... I give me 10 yuan as an allowance! I won't let you give me 10 yuan like the fourth brother, just give me 100 work points a month like the third brother, as a pension for my old age!"

She dared not reveal the fact that Li Zhan reduced her allowance to five yuan, otherwise her sons would follow suit and make a big fuss!

Before Li Qiang could say anything, Wang Guixiang rushed out, pointed at Liu Lan's nose and cursed:

"Bah! I'm giving you 100 work points? How old do you think you are, you old bastard! The eldest brother is dead, the third and fourth brothers have also been divided, and you and your sister-in-law are still alive! It's been almost a year, and you are still all supported by my husband and me, and yet you are still picky like the Empress Dowager Cixi, not wanting to eat this or that! You want meat today and chicken tomorrow! Why don't you go to heaven? You said that the third and fourth brothers gave you so many work points and money, why haven't I seen a penny?! What the hell! Now that your other sons don't care about you, you want to rely on us? I tell you, no way! In this family today, you have to get points whether you want to divide it or not!"

Liu Lan was so angry at Wang Guixiang that she was shaking all over!

In her eyes, Wang Guixiang was always stupid, lazy and unreasonable, so she had been using her very well in the past few years. At home, if she was a little partial to Wang Guixiang, she would be won over.

Whenever she disliked her eldest son's wife or her third son's wife, or anyone in the village, she would instigate them and Wang Guixiang would immediately come out to quarrel with her, her two sisters-in-law, and the villagers.

It can be said that except for meeting Xia Juanjuan, Wang Guixiang has never lost an argument!

She never thought that the dog she raised would bite her back, and now it even dared to yell at her directly!

"Second brother! Look at your wife's arrogant attitude! I am your own mother! She dares to point at my nose and scold me, and you hit her! Tear her mouth!"

Li Qiang looked at his wife, then at Liu Lan, and then said:

"Mom, I think what my wife said makes sense! Last time when the fourth son separated from the family, Secretary Zhao also said that you probably had hundreds of yuan in your hands! The third and fourth sons continue to give you money every month, why don't you give us a penny? Mom, if you really don't want to divide this family, it's not impossible. In the future, you can give us five yuan every month, and then I promise that you will never be allowed to work in the fields, and my wife will prepare three meals a day for you at home..."

Liu Lan realized that her son, whom she had favored the most since childhood, was playing a double game with his wife to cheat her of the money that was used to support her old age!

"Listen to what that old man surnamed Zhao said! How could I have so much money? Yes! The fourth brother has sent back a lot of money over the years, but did your father's funeral cost money? Did you brothers need to get married? Not to mention other things, your wife actually asked for a dowry of 50 yuan! Did I give it to your mother? And now you are so different! Not only are you unfilial to your mother, but you are also blackmailing her..."

Li Qiang's face turned cold after hearing this, and he interrupted her impatiently, "What do you mean by blackmail? Mom, don't be so harsh! Humph! Anyway, I've already said it! If you don't give us five dollars every month, then you and Qiaoqiao, don't even think about eating a grain of rice in my house in the future! And the two of you, do your farm work by yourselves!"

After saying this, he went back to his room with Wang Guixiang without looking back.

Liu Lan's face was left with dark circles and blue marks. It was so exciting!

At this time, Li Qiaoqiao rushed over, lowered her voice, and asked anxiously: "Mom? Did you really tell my second brother that? Do you have a few hundred yuan in your hand? If so, can you give me two hundred yuan? I... I need it urgently! Brother Jiayuan was arrested by the police. I heard from the educated youth in the village who knew the situation that he might be sentenced to twenty years of hard labor! But that educated youth said that he knew someone in the city, and for only two hundred yuan, he could rescue Brother Jiayuan and release him without guilt! Mom, please give me two hundred yuan, I... I am already pregnant with Brother Jiayuan's child..."

"Pa!" Liu Lan was so angry that she slapped Li Qiaoqiao so hard that her mouth and nose were bleeding, and she fell heavily to the ground!

Li Qiang is tall and strong, and she doesn't dare to hit him, so how can she not dare to teach her own daughter a lesson?

"Bah! You shameless little whore, each and every one of you is an ungrateful ungrateful bastard! I have provided you with food and clothing for twenty years, and you did farm work and cooked for your mother, but now you ask for two hundred yuan? Who gave you the face? You want money? I don't have a penny!..."

Xia Juanjuan listened to Zhou Qiuhe's retelling with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

With just those few top-notch people, it would only be a matter of time before the situation today where everyone is biting each other is a mess!

She wasn't surprised at all.

"Let them do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Zhou Qiuhe nodded and said, "That's right. Juanjuan, it's a good thing that you and your fourth brother set an example in front of us, otherwise Lijie and I would not be able to stand up, and I'm afraid we would still be bullied by that bunch of people!"

After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ah... do you think she really has a few hundred yuan in her hand? If she does, it's all the money that Fourth Brother earned from his life-threatening military service! Since you're married, she, as your mother-in-law, should at least give you half of it back, right? She's really too greedy!"

Xia Juanjuan didn't respond, she just smiled and said, "If Lizhan doesn't ask for the money, as his wife, I definitely can't ask for it..."

Zhou Qiuhe was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then her face flushed: "Juanjuan, I... I didn't mean to instigate you to ask for it when I said that! I really just... feel sorry for you..."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, you think too much. I don't doubt your intention. I just said it objectively. After all, Li Zhan's identity is there. If we really ask for the money directly, it would be bad if people spread rumors and said that he was unfilial."

Zhou Qiuhe's face was still red with embarrassment, regretting that she spoke without thinking, and said: "You are still thoughtful. When I heard that it was hundreds of yuan, my mind was just excited and I didn't think of these things at all... Please don't be offended..."

Xia Juanjuan had been dealing with Zhou Qiuhe for some time and knew that she was not that kind of person, so she smiled and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry. How could I not know you? But I'm not the one cursing her here. With Li Qiang and Li Qiao Qiao around, she may not be lucky enough to spend that money!"

After a few more casual chats, Zhou Qiuhe was about to go back, and Xia Juanjuan gave her a piece of tofu she had made. Zhou Qiuhe was naturally very moved and felt relieved, knowing that Xia Juanjuan really did not doubt her.

After seeing Zhou Qiuhe off, Xia Juanjuan looked towards Liu Lan's room and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.

She told Zhou Qiuhe that if Li Zhan didn't ask for it, she wouldn't ask for it either, and it was half true and half false.

It's one thing to ask for it directly without asking, but that doesn't mean she will let the money be taken by others!

In the past, she and Lizhan were literally living together as a couple. She needed the identity of Lizhan's daughter-in-law as a cover to gain a firm foothold first, so she could ignore Lizhan's money.

But now that she and Lizhan are de facto husband and wife, she will never allow anyone to bully and exploit her man again!

Even if it was squeezed in the past, it won’t work!

This money must be recovered sooner or later!
