Chapter 122 Bragging Everywhere
In the next few days, no unpleasant words came from the Liu family.
It was Su Nanzhi who ran into trouble.
Now she didn't have to take a walk to Qin Youliang's house after dinner to collect the debt.
Huang Xiumei took the initiative and came to Qin Dacang's house crying to ask for Su Nanzhi's forgiveness.
The time is chosen when everyone is leaving and there are the most people.
She didn't say much, but just stood at the door of Qin Dacang with tears in her eyes, holding some money wrapped in a handkerchief in her hand.
"Nanzhi, it's my fault, please forgive me."
"I did take some money from your family, but it wasn't much. I borrowed some from others these days and will return it to you when I have the money."
Seeing this, the villagers squatting nearby immediately became interested and came to Huang Xiumei's side with their bowls in hand.
"Xiumei, did you really steal money from the Su family?"
"How much money did you steal? Show everyone."
"Yeah, that looks like a lot."
Anger flashed across Huang Xiumei's eyes, but her face was filled with pain as she opened her handkerchief.
Everyone saw a pile of coins and small-denomination banknotes.
Although I can’t count how much it is, it looks like there are about ten yuan.
"Only a dozen yuan? Isn't that too little? Building your toilet must have cost more than a dozen yuan, right?"
Huang Xiumei's tears streamed down her face. "I really only took this little money from the Su family."
"The house we have is built with the military pension that comes with food and the allowances I received before."
One villager immediately noticed something was wrong. "That's not right. Nanzhi's father is a regiment leader. How could he only have a dozen yuan in savings?"
Huang Xiumei had been prepared for this. "The Su family does have a lot of savings, but Nanzhi's father often helped his comrades, and he also spent a lot of money on medical treatment before he died."
After all, the Su family is not local, and everyone can only guess about the Su family's economic conditions, so naturally they are not sure about the truthfulness of Huang Xiumei's words.
However, Huang Xiumei's bruised face and nose made people naturally feel a little sympathetic towards her.
"Nanzhi, your Aunt Xiumei has raised you up after all, so just forgive her."
"Yeah, it's just a dozen dollars. It's not enough to support you for so many years."
"Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work."
…
Hearing what the people around him said, Su Nanzhi's eyes darkened.
She likes the simplicity of Qinjia Village, but also hates its ignorance.
But she knew that her future was not in Qinjia Village, so she didn't want to expose the hypocrisy of these people who were talking without any concern.
And if she just relied on a few words from others, she would never be able to get justice or get money from Qin Youliang's family in her life.
Fortunately, she has now obtained the money that belongs to the Su family, and as for justice, she will get it herself.
Seeing the smugness in Huang Xiumei's eyes, Su Nanzhi also smiled and took the money from Huang Xiumei without hesitation. "Even if you really took a dozen yuan from my house, what about my Su family's old house?"
Huang Xiumei didn't have time to feel sad about the dozen dollars she lost when she heard this and immediately retorted, "What old house? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Su Nanzhi really wanted to know how stupid she was in the eyes of Qin Youliang and Huang Xiumei. Knowing that the two of them had taken their Su family's money, would she ignore the more valuable old house?
"It's okay if you don't understand. Don't your brother and his family still live in our old house?" She said, looking at the villagers who were watching. "I think you uncles and aunts have heard Huang Xiumei say that her brother lives in a large courtyard in the next county, right?"
In the past, Huang Xiumei pretended to be sick and didn't go to work, but she couldn't bear it anymore and would go out to chat with people. The topics of their conversation were, as expected, that she had a promising son and a younger brother who had a job and lived in a big yard in the next county.
When they heard Su Nanzhi's words at this moment, they immediately recalled what they had heard.
"Although your brother who married into the family did marry into a good family, his wife has a younger brother. If the large courtyard you're talking about belongs to your sister-in-law, then it's not your brother's family's turn to live there, right?"
Before Huang Xiumei could refute, Su Nanzhi blocked her way out.
"Or is it that your sister-in-law's family is wealthy and powerful? Not only her parents but also her brother have large courtyards. If that's true, then she can be considered a capitalist, right?"
Huang Xiumei's eyes rolled around. If she admitted that her brother's family were capitalists, if she didn't, she really wouldn't be able to explain the source of the house.
At this moment, Qin Youliang shouted loudly.
"You bitch, did I tell you to keep your mouth shut and stop bragging?"
Before she could finish her words, Huang Xiumei was hit hard on the cheek by Qin Youliang.
Qin Youliang didn't expect that just by asking Huang Xiumei to apologize to Su Nanzhi, Huang Xiumei would cause such a big trouble again.
But at this moment he didn't have time to continue teaching Huang Xiumei a lesson, so he started explaining to everyone.
"Don't listen to my old woman's bragging. My brother-in-law does live in a big yard, but he shares it with someone."
"As for Nanzhi's family's old house, it was sold by her father when he was ill."
Although the next county was not far from Qinjia Village, he was certain that no one in the village would be so idle as to investigate whether the Su family's old house had been sold.
It is not easy for Su Nanzhi, a country girl, to obtain evidence.
Although he thought so, a sense of urgency had already risen in his heart.
Su Nanzhi must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Su Nanzhi did not refute what Qin Youliang said. Just as Qin Youliang said, no one thought of going to the next county to see whether the Su family's old house was really sold by her father or taken over by Huang Xiumei's younger brother.
"Really? Then I'll take some time to go back to my house and see who bought it and whether the last name on the property deed is still Su."
She was certain that Qin Youliang was now so well-connected that he could bribe the people at the Real Estate Bureau and change the name of her Su family's house, bypassing her as the head of the household.
Qin Youliang suppressed his impatience and said with a smile, "You can go and see me anytime. You haven't been home in so many years. Do you need me to take you there?"
"No, I remember the way home perfectly."
"That's good."
The conversation between the two seemed polite, but in fact, there were hidden daggers behind their smiles, and the conversation was full of temptations and competitions.
The matter ended with Su Nanzhi taking the money and returning to Qin Dacang's house.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone dispersed.
Qin Youliang went home with a gloomy face, and Huang Xiumei followed him from a distance with a frightened look on her face. However, no matter how reluctant she was, she still arrived home soon.
Huang Chunhua was picking vegetables at the yard gate when she saw the two of them coming home.
He glanced at the two with disdain and said to his grandson who was playing in the mud beside him, "Although you are disobedient, you must not become a black-hearted person when you grow up, otherwise God will strike you to death sooner or later."
Huang Chunhua's grandson was only three or four years old. Although he could not understand what his grandmother said, he could still understand the meaning of "killing someone with a chopping stone". He shook his little body, and hid in Huang Chunhua's arms with yellow mud all over his body, still shouting.
"I don't want to die. I'll be obedient."
Huang Chunhua pulled her dirty little grandson out of her arms and said, "As long as you're obedient, God will only punish those damned bastards."
Her voice was very loud and she did not conceal it at all. Qin Youliang and Huang Xiumei both heard it clearly. They both looked unhappy but did not say anything. They hurried back to the yard.
Standing in the yard, you can still hear faint voices coming from outside the door.
"Hey, just stop talking."
"What's wrong? If someone can do such a shameless thing, why can't I say anything?"
"Also, don't bother with Qin Youliang's family anymore. They might skin you alive and eat you."
…
Qin Youliang walked into the main room and could no longer hold back, so he threw the tea bowl on the table heavily to the ground.
Huang Chunhua shuddered and locked herself in a corner, not even daring to breathe loudly.
But soon Qin Youliang fixed his gaze on her again.
Ten minutes later.
Huang Chunhua, who was already in a miserable state, fell to the ground. There was almost no healthy skin exposed, and she was dying.
Qin Youliang's complexion looked much better. He picked up another tea bowl on the table, poured a glass of water into it, and drank it slowly.
"Go find your brother and ask him to find a way to buy the Su family's house."
Huang Xiumei's eyes flashed with surprise.
"My brother can't do it..."
"If you can't do it, let your brother die with us." Qin Youliang interrupted her, his tone sinister, "Your brother has been a live-in son-in-law for more than ten years, and I got him the house he lives in. So, does that mean you're a live-in son-in-law of our Qin family?"
"If he can't even transfer the ownership of a house, then let him prepare the rent for the past ten years and give it to Su Nanzhi."
The rent for more than ten years is not a small amount, and his brother-in-law is reluctant to give money to Su Nanzhi.
And this was also what they had agreed upon back then, to let the brother-in-law use his connections to sell the Su family's house and transfer the ownership, and then split the money from the sale in half.
For the past ten years, his cheap brother-in-law has been occupying the Su family's house on the pretext that he couldn't find a buyer.
He hadn't been short of money before, so he didn't bother with his brother-in-law.
But now my brother-in-law lives in the house and bears the blame. There is no such beautiful thing in the world.
