Chapter 23 Losing Money



The brigade leader nodded: "I have already sent Guodong and Guoliang to Changshou Brigade to invite Ma Cuilian's parents."

Wang Cuilian huddled in the corner, trembling.

When Huo Dasao's father-in-law said this, she glanced at Huo Jianguo, hoping he would speak up for her. But Huo Jianguo didn't even look at her. She felt indignant and didn't think she had done anything wrong. "Every man for himself."

What did she do wrong? She just wanted both children to eat some meat, what did she do wrong?

Yun Ningyan hadn't even entered the house yet, but she dared to openly ask the third brother to take all the meat in the house for her to eat. Why couldn't she interfere?

If all her younger brothers were like this, how could she possibly live a normal life as the eldest daughter-in-law?

The two children need nutrition, but the third child takes all the good things and gives them to this woman who has no future with them.

She refused to accept it!

She has been married into the Huo family for several years and has never received any special treatment. This educated youth from the city has caused so much trouble before even entering the family!

Huo Junshan listened to her inner thoughts. He never knew that his sister-in-law was so calculating. Why didn't she give all the good things in the family to the eldest son's family?

The brothers earn ten work points a day, which is more than enough for one person to eat. They end up subsidizing the eldest son's family. Not only do the eldest sons not know how to be grateful, but they even dare to scheme against his young daughter.

Damn it!

Sister-in-law Huo refused to leave the Huo family. She clung to Li Xiangyun's leg and wouldn't let go. Huo Junshan shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Sister-in-law Huo immediately stopped crying.

Huo Junshan looked at the brigade leader and said, "Uncle, we will handle our own family matters. Right now, the most important people are Aunt Ma and Wang Cuilian."

Yun Ningyan spoke up at the right moment, "Uncle Captain, can I borrow your bicycle? I want to go to the commune to file a complaint. The two of them have already caused me psychological harm. I don't think I can go to work for the next few days. I'm heartbroken, and they need to compensate me for my financial losses!"

She had no right to speak about the Huo family's affairs, but these two people wanted to harm her, and she couldn't let them off so easily.

Captain...

What?

What losses?

Why would there be any loss if I file a complaint?

The brigade leader chuckled obsequiously, "Girl, you can't just keep complaining. How about this: Wang Cuilian can't come to our brigade anymore, and she'll have to pay you 50 yuan. Aunt Ma will also pay you 50 yuan. How about that?"

"No way! At least 100 yuan."

Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan spoke at the same time. The captain's lips twitched a few times as he listened, and he glanced at Huo Junshan speechlessly.

Yun Ningyan also knew that although 100 yuan was a lot for both families, it was something they could afford. Otherwise, they wouldn't have learned their lesson even if they had lost 50 yuan!

"Captain, it's 100 yuan per person, otherwise there's no point in discussing this."

Seeing Yun Ningyan's resolute attitude, the captain said to the two of them, "Did you hear that? Each of you will have to pay 100 yuan."

"Why should she? She didn't lose anything. We only exchanged a few words. I'm not worthy, I don't have the money!" Wang Cuilian twisted her head and glared at Yun Ningyan resentfully.

I only exchanged a few words with her, and I have to pay 100 yuan in compensation? That's too much of a loss!

Aunt Ma looked pale and her voice trembled as she said, "Captain, we really don't have 100 yuan! She's trying to kill me!"

Aunt Ma started throwing a tantrum on the ground, slapping the brigade leader's hand. The brigade leader was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. Of all the old women in the brigade, Aunt Ma was the most difficult to deal with.

She was a master of throwing a tantrum, and the brigade leader's forehead twitched. Huo Junshan clenched his fist, ready to strike, but Aunt Ma scrambled to her feet in a flash.

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Song Pandi was among them. She had been behaving herself these past few days. Luckily, she hadn't provoked Yun Ningyan this time, or she would have been the one who suffered.

The brigade leader's eyes were cold. "Aunt Ma, if you don't pay compensation, Yun Zhiqing will sue you. Even if you don't go to the police station, you'll still be taken to the farm. If you go there, no one will care about your son. You choose!"

Grandma Ma's weakness was her son. She had five daughters before having one son, and several of her daughters were sold to raise money for her son's dowry. Unfortunately, Ma Lao Er was too ugly and short, so even with a high dowry, no one wanted him. Grandma Ma was extremely sexist and loved her son dearly.

In the end, she took out 70 yuan, and said she had no more 30 yuan left.

The brigade leader waved his hand and said, "The remaining 30 will be deducted from your work points! It will be credited directly to Yun Zhiqing. Don't cause any more trouble in the future!"

Aunt Ma slunk away.

The captain dispersed the crowd, and what remained was the matter of Huo Changgen's family.

After everyone had left, Wang Cuilian's parents followed Huo Guodong, and Huo Guoliang and his wife also arrived.

When Wang's parents entered the courtyard, they saw their daughter huddled in the corner. Wang's mother picked her up with heartache and glared at Wang Cuihong, "Cuihong, is this what you meant by insisting that my daughter marry Huo Junshan? She was beaten at the Huo family, and you didn't even help her?"

Wang Cuihong was also covered in marks, but her mother couldn't see them at all.

A few days ago, Wang Cuihong went back to her parents' home and would run to their house whenever she had nothing to do. She said that Huo Junshan was now very good at taking care of people and suggested that Cuilian marry Huo Junshan. She said that the Huo family had many sons and earned a lot of money, so they couldn't eat all the food. Cuilian took it to heart and brought the food she cooked at home today.

Yun Ningyan was too lazy to watch their performance. She was already a little impatient: "Aunt Wang, your daughter came to my door to provoke me and try to ruin my reputation. Now you only have two choices: either pay me 100 yuan or your daughter will be arrested and taken to the police station."

When Wang's mother heard that her daughter was going to ruin someone's reputation, she trembled. But now she could only help her daughter. She smiled and looked at Yun Ningyan, "Girl, Cuilian is out of her mind. You didn't do anything, did you? Why don't you forgive her? If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined!"

She never intended to pay compensation; she just wanted to keep her daughter out of the house, and the other party didn't suffer any real harm.

As soon as Yun Ningyan heard her speak, she knew what she was thinking. She immediately said to the captain, "Captain, did you hear that? It's not that I don't forgive them, it's that their family didn't even offer an attitude!"

She turned to Huo Junshan and said, "Huo Junshan, go ride your bicycle back. We'll go report this to the police."

Huo Junshan turned to leave, but Wang's mother immediately grabbed his trouser leg. "Little Huo, we still have some relationship, don't call the police! We'll stay with you! We'll stay with you!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang's father, who remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to give the money, but that was all the money the family had. His son still needed to get married, and if they just gave it away like this, his son wouldn't be able to find a wife.

The mother grabbed the father's trouser leg and cried, "Old man, we only have this one daughter. Can you bear to see her go to jail?"

Wang's father closed his eyes. In his view, although his son was more important than his daughter, his daughter was still his flesh and blood, and he could not stand by and watch her be taken away.

Wang Cuilian cried and said to her father, "Father, I don't want to go to jail, please save me, please save me."

Before Wang's father could speak, Yun Ningyan spoke again, "I need your daughter to write a guarantee that she will not cause me any more trouble, otherwise I will personally report her to the police!"

The father hardened his heart and said, "Fine, we'll write!"
