Dog Egg is a survivor, not the one who killed your husband. This farce should end now.
Zhong Qingqing instinctively wanted to refute.
not enough.
That's far from enough.
Her eldest son, Yang, lost his life just like that.
Dog Egg, however, is alive and well.
On what grounds?
Zhong Qingqing wasn't stupid; she knew that as long as no one died, her goal would be achieved.
But what if Gou Dan and his two old, immortal grandparents died because of her?
Her Yang family could no longer stay in Xiahe Village.
It wasn't that she missed Xiahe Village. Huaiyuan hadn't found a job in the city yet, and her family didn't have a house in the county town. If their reputation in the village was ruined, the Yang family's survival would be difficult in the future.
“Captain, my eldest son Yang and Gou Dan fell into the water together. Why did Gou Dan survive? He risked his life to save someone, but fourteen years later, you suspect him of having ulterior motives. You have disappointed me greatly.”
"Since you think I'm only after money, then so be it, Da Cui, stop making a fuss, let's go home."
Zhong Qingqing is very smart.
She knew that if she continued to make a scene, she would only incur the captain's dislike.
In the end, she will gain nothing, and may even lose the little bit of kindness that Yang Laoda showed her when he saved her.
The Yang family has already lost Yang Lin because of that bitch Qiao Wanyue's scheming. There's no one left to do the heavy work at home. If they drive Gou Dan to his death, their future will be difficult. They haven't even raised enough money to buy their son a job yet.
She secretly warned Gou Dan's grandparents that the old couple were honest, but Gou Dan, that bastard, was too cunning and wanted to deceive her. He even conspired with that bitch Qiao Wanyue to get rid of her by faking his death to avoid paying her money.
Zhong Qingqing sneered inwardly.
What Qiao Wanyue admired most about Zhong Qingqing was her ability to be flexible and adaptable.
If she continues to make a scene, she's definitely not going to get away with it.
But if she were to withdraw her troops at this point and then utter a few mournful words, people would certainly not blame her too much out of consideration for the deceased Elder Yang.
As for whether Gou Dan's family will still give Zhong Qingqing money.
How would anyone know that in private?
Qiao Wanyue squinted.
Well thought out.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Wanyue glanced at Gou Dan and his grandparents.
An honest and simple farmer.
She sighed softly, "Zhong Qingqing, how much money has Gou Dan's family supported you over these fourteen years?"
As soon as she finished speaking...
Zhong Qingqing paused, her face immediately darkening.
On the surface, Gou Dan only sent ten yuan a year and one hundred jin of grain.
But privately—
What did that bitch Qiao Wanyue find out!
The captain also sensed that something was wrong.
"Wanyue, what do you know?"
Qiao Wanyue walked to the Guan family's elderly couple, pulled Grandma Guan in front of the brigade leader, and, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, pulled open Grandma Guan's sleeve, revealing a pair of arms that looked like a skeleton.
The captain frowned.
"What happened?"
Qiao Wanyue looked at Gou Dan, "Aren't you going to tell me?"
Dog Egg lay on the ground and closed his eyes.
"Over the years, besides the fixed fifty yuan and one hundred catties of grain each year, whenever I earned money from hunting or fishing, the Yang family would find out first, then come to my house to mourn, and my grandparents would order me to send all my belongings over."
For fourteen years, our whole family ate only coarse grains and wild vegetables; we never had a single meal of white rice or noodles, nor a single meal of vegetables.
His voice was already choked with sobs.
