Widow Huang was stunned. She just wanted to slap Old Lady Xia. Although she didn't hold back, how much force could a woman like her use to slap someone? She actually knocked down a grown man.
She reasonably suspected that they were colluding to extort money.
"He was pretending, he definitely was pretending. I... I... I didn't kill him." Widow Huang panicked for a moment, then turned to look at Old Chen lovingly. "Brother Chen, you know me. I'm not that kind of vicious woman. I never hit anyone. It's just that Sister Xia made me angry this time."
"With my personality, I wouldn't even dare to step on an ant, let alone hit someone."
Old Chen stood and pointed at her, "You...you don't dare to step on an ant to death? You dare to hit people, but you don't dare to step on an ant? My wife just asked you a few questions, and you were so cruel. Aren't you a vicious woman? I think you not only dare to step on an ant, you might even dare to use boiling water to scald it."
"I don't know you. I used to think you were pitiful, but how can you be pitiful? You eat better than us, dress better than us, and even raise your children to be fatter and whiter than us. Is there anyone in our entire compound fatter than your son? Even the children of Chef Wang, the chef at the state-owned restaurant down the alley, are not as fat as yours."
"My third child, a boy, was slapped on the head by you. I don't know if he's in trouble. You're so strong and powerful that his forehead is almost swollen. If he hadn't blocked her this time, she, a woman, would have been slapped to death by you. You almost killed someone. Aren't you a vicious woman?"
"You wipe your tears every day and say you're starving to death. If you starved to death, wouldn't we have already turned into bones?"
"You are so bad! You are so bad! You can even murder a child as old as your fat son! Give me back my money! Give me back my money quickly! I won't support you anymore even if I have to throw it into the river! Give me back my money! You are shameless! Give me back my hard-earned money!"
Old Mrs. Xia screamed, "Second brother, quickly send the third brother to the hospital. We are going to report her to the police and have her arrested. She cheated us out of our money and committed murder. Pay her compensation. If anything happens to my son, you must also pay her with his life. I will not let you go."
Chen Xiangnan hugged the third child and pretended to shout, "Let me go, let me go, I want to take my brother to the hospital, let me go!"
The enthusiastic people wanted to help him carry the person, and Chen Xiangnan immediately thanked them. After all, if he went to the hospital, it would only cost a few cents for a physical examination. It was a good deal for this guy, but Widow Huang must be taught a lesson, at least she had to pay back the money.
Compared to this, a few cents is nothing.
As Chen Xiangnan rushed to the hospital, he kept thinking about money. Judging from his mother's condition, his father must have given her a lot of money.
Old Lady Xia had already pinned Widow Huang down and beat her, but Widow Huang didn't dare to fight back now, for fear that the boy wouldn't recover by then and Old Lady Xia would lie down and blackmail her again.
But it would have been fine if she was in the wrong and let Old Lady Xia beat her alone, but why did those shrews also come up to help beat her, and they all hit her in the face. These bitches just couldn't stand the fact that she was prettier than them.
"You bitches."
After cursing, Widow Huang suddenly felt her body lighten. She opened her eyes and saw the women she looked down upon standing in front of her, then they raised their hands and grabbed her.
"Take her to the Public Security Bureau and send her to a labor camp."
"That's right. She hurt people and cheated them out of money. Why shouldn't she have to squat on the fence?"
"She even scolded us, but she herself is the meanest one."
"Don't let her have it easy, send her there immediately!"
Everyone was pushing and shoving, not even bothering to hit her. Hitting someone requires strength, and no matter how much she was beaten, she wouldn't pay back. She was just a piece of shit.
Since the money was gone, she had to pay a price. If there was no evidence of money being stolen, then the injury was real, so she had to go to jail.
Widow Huang immediately understood their plan and secretly hated them for their cruelty. However, she also knew that her slap had given them evidence, and no matter how she tried to argue, it would be useless.
She didn't want to go to the farm for forced labor. Those people wanted money, right? At worst, she could just pay it back. As if she had thought of something, she shouted, "I'll pay you back. Isn't it okay if I pay you back? Sister Xia, I'll pay your family back."
Everyone stopped and looked at Old Lady Xia. After all, the reason why she was sent to jail depended mainly on whether Old Lady Xia and the others wanted to pursue the matter. If Old Lady Xia didn't pursue it, there was nothing they could do.
They were very nervous. If Widow Huang only returned the money to her family and she reconciled directly, they would still get nothing and would have made a fuss for nothing. They all lamented that they couldn't just provoke her with words and let her hit them first, so that they would have something to hold against them.
Still lack of experience.
Old Lady Xia, braving their gazes, knew that if Widow Huang only returned her family's money, she would be looked down upon by the others. Although they were not from the same unit, it was always better to be kind to others. After all, it wasn't her who was bleeding heavily.
So, she said righteously: "If you want to pay it back, then pay everyone back, otherwise I will still send you to jail."
Widow Huang immediately started cursing, saying that she couldn't pay off everyone's debt, let alone her own family's debt.
But Mrs. Xia was determined, so she had to agree.
If there is no other way, she can only...
Seeing that Widow Huang agreed, everyone reached out to ask her for money.
Widow Huang said angrily: "Where can I get the money to pay you back now? Please wait for me for half a month. I have to raise money."
Old Lady Xia didn't trust her character, "Then write me an IOU."
Widow Huang cursed again, and Old Lady Xia immediately took out a pen and paper from Old Chen's pocket, wrote an IOU and asked Widow Huang to put her fingerprint on it.
Old Chen is sometimes quite useful. Although he carries paper and pen with him for display purposes and has never used them, isn't he using them now?
Old Mrs. Xia gave him an affirmative look, and Old Chen raised his head.
pride!
Everyone lent her paper and pen to put her fingerprints on. Widow Huang wanted to struggle, but Old Lady Xia kept staring at her, and her daughter was crying pitifully beside her.
That damn old woman would really put her in a labor camp, and she didn't dare to gamble with her conscience. If she really went in, her two children would never have a good life in the future. It wasn't that she looked down on the two children's intelligence, but they weren't even half as smart as hers. Like their damn father, they couldn't do anything smart.
She is the only one who will watch over them. When they get married and find a job in the future, she will have to keep an eye on them, otherwise how can they live a good life?
Besides, even if she owed so much money, she was not helpless. Widow Huang was confident that she could pay off the debt quickly with her charm.
As Widow Huang cursed and pressed her fingerprints, everyone left contentedly, beating and scolding their men.
They were not afraid that she would run away. It was not easy to get a letter of introduction nowadays, and it would be difficult for her to leave without a sufficient reason.
