Chapter 43 The creditor is asking for money

Old Mrs. Ruan didn't expect this result. She turned pale and stood there speechless.

Ruan Lanxiang fell to the ground and burst into tears.

People around her saw what happened and their faces were full of contempt.

Ruan Fu looked at the scene in front of her and felt very satisfied. There was nothing more satisfying than being slapped in the face in public.

These people had ulterior motives to harm her, but in the end they lifted a stone and smashed her feet.

"Grandma, you've heard it clearly now. You'd better be polite to me. If you really annoy me, no one will be able to live in peace."

Old Mrs. Ruan didn't hear a word she said. She just felt black in front of her eyes and her ears were buzzing.

There was only one thought left in her mind. The money was gone, really gone. This was Ruan Zhiguo's tuition. How would she explain it to Liu Mei when she asked about it in the future?

With her personality, she would definitely make a big fuss.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear.

"Mom." A voice suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone looked over and saw Liu Mei coming from the village entrance, panting and sweating. She looked like she was in a hurry.

Old Mrs. Ruan never thought that this person would come. She was dumbfounded and just stood there.

After a long while, she spoke stammeringly, "Old man's wife, why are you back? Isn't it going to be a few days?"

Liu Mei would never say that she received a call from Aunt Hu and rushed back in a hurry.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and forced a smile, "Mom, Zhiguo's school is pressing for money, so I came back to ask you for the tuition."

What you fear is what will happen, and you have to come back to ask for money at this time.

Old Mrs. Ruan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She didn't have any money in her hands, and Ruan Lanxiang had lost it all.

But she couldn't say this in front of so many people, otherwise Lanxiang would not be able to live in the village in the future.

"Old wife, I have to explain this to you. Let's go home and have a drink of water and rest first."

She grabbed Liu Mei's arm and tried to drag her home.

As long as we get home and close the door, we can do whatever we want, but we must not let others laugh at us outside.

Who knows that Liu Mei is a shrewd person? She knows clearly that some things need to be torn apart in public in order to get an explanation. If she really goes back home, Old Lady Ruan will definitely find ways to protect her daughter, and she won't be able to get a penny.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei pretended to smile and deliberately said, "Mom, I won't rest. Things are a bit urgent. I have to go back to the city after getting the money."

Old Lady Ruan glared at her angrily. Although she felt guilty, she still felt that she was still the boss in the Ruan family. Others could only obey and could not have any objections.

But Liu Mei was too ignorant today. In front of so many people, she didn't even give her a step.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu winked at the side.

Mrs. Hu reacted immediately. She was already angry because she was scolded by Ruan Lanxiang for selling mulberry leaves today. She wanted to make things worse.

She clapped her hands and said, "Old lady, just tell the truth. It has already happened. There is no way to hide it. You are a family. Meizi will not blame you."

This sounded meaningful.

Liu Mei's face changed slightly. Obviously, she knew what the other party was talking about, but she still pretended to be confused. "Mom, what happened? What does Sister Hu mean?"

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Mrs. Ruan opened her mouth stiffly.

She wanted to tell the truth, but she didn't know where to start. She couldn't just say that Lanxiang lost all her money by learning to do business, right?

"Old lady, there is indeed a problem. Go home first and I will explain it to you slowly."

After saying this, Liu Mei was even less likely to go back. Her tone turned cold,

"Mom, in front of so many people, just say what you want to say, so that everyone can judge."

Liu Mei really didn't feel like beating around the bush with the old lady.

She almost fainted when she received Mrs. Hu's call just now. After she came to her senses, she immediately rushed to the village without stopping.

She really regretted it. If she had known that she should not have handed the money to Old Lady Ruan when she went out, she didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the end.

"Forget it, let me tell you!" Ruan Lanxiang suddenly stood up, with a desperate tone, "Sister-in-law, the money is gone, no matter how hard you push, mom can't give it out, you have to figure it out yourself!"

Liu Mei has always been a person who refuses to suffer any loss, and everyone thought she would be furious after hearing this.

Who knew that she said "Oh" and smiled instead, "Okay, then I'll figure it out myself."

The money is gone, how can you figure it out? Ruan Lanxiang didn't care, she just thought the other party was angry.

Who knew that the next second, Liu Mei pushed her away and strode home.

Seeing that the person had left, Ruan Lanxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, I told you it's okay. The sister

-in-law is just venting her anger, and she wouldn't dare to do anything to us." For some reason, Mrs. Ruan felt her eyelids twitching, and she felt something was going to happen. She ignored her daughter and hurriedly followed Liu Mei back.

People around were talking about it.

Ruan Fu was slowly packing up the mulberry leaves, and she didn't plan to leave. According to Liu Mei's personality, there would be a good show soon, and she didn't want to miss it.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Liu Mei hurried out of the village again.

But this time, she was holding a small box in her arms and walked very fast.

The angry Mrs. Ruan chased after her, cursing.

Seeing Ruan Lanxiang in the crowd, she hurriedly said, "Lanxiang, stop her!"

Ruan Lanxiang quickly reacted and went up to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why did you move all my boxes out for no reason!"

Liu Mei looked at the things in her arms and sneered, "Isn't there no money at home? Zhiguo has to go to school again, so I can only think of this way. Sell everything in this box, and I will definitely be able to get twenty yuan."

Ruan Fu recognized the box at a glance. It was the treasure of the Ruan family. All the valuable things were in it. Except for Mrs. Ruan, no one else could touch it.

But now there is a big iron lock on the box.

It should be Liu Mei who just locked it, and it doesn't match the box itself.

Ruan Fu was amazed, wondering where Liu Mei bought it, the lock looked really strong.

When she has money in the future, should she buy one too?

Old Mrs. Ruan finally arrived, clutching her chest and breathing heavily.

"Liu Mei, I think you don't want to live anymore! This box is the last life-saving money in the family, you took it all away, and told me and your sister to die."

She quickly instructed Ruan Lanxiang to snatch the box down.

"Who dares to stop me?" Liu Mei screamed and slapped Ruan Lanxiang in the face, making her scream.

Old Lady Ruan felt sorry for her daughter and immediately turned hostile, angrily scolding: "You even dare to hit your sister-in-law, I think you are crazy!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Mei changed her previous gentleness and said in a sharp voice, "I am indeed crazy! You drove me crazy. Zhiguo's tuition fee was in your hands, and now there is not a penny left. It's a bargain for you to take these."
