After explaining everything to Li Dashun, Meng Shuyun reached into her pocket to take out some money and said, "I'll give you two hundred yuan as a deposit first. We should probably put it in writing to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. I'll be at the grain station first thing tomorrow morning."
Li Dashun nodded and pushed the bicycle toward Meng Shuyun. "Mother, it's been inconvenient for you to travel back and forth these past few days. Please use this bicycle for now. I will definitely take care of the things you asked me to do."
After the two had finished their conversation, Su Xiuju's eyes were full of excitement, and she shouted loudly.
“Mom, we now take the bus into the city every day, and it costs sixty yuan a month for the two of us to go back and forth.”
If I lived in the city, I could have two extra hours each day making masks. I could make ten masks an hour, so that would be twenty in two hours!
Su Xiuju became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining, after all, renting a place was indeed cheaper than traveling back and forth.
You can earn even more by waking up an hour earlier every day.
With a smile, Meng Shuyun praised Xiuju with affection, "Xiuju, you're really good at math. You figured it out in no time."
Upon hearing Meng Shuyun's words, Su Xiuju felt somewhat embarrassed.
She caught a glimpse of Li Dashun still standing there, and inwardly scolded her mother for praising her so openly without any regard for outsiders.
Li Dashun led the way. When the three of them passed the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Xiuju tugged at her mother's sleeve and asked hesitantly, "Mother, should we call my second sister?"
Looking at the busy figures in the supply and marketing cooperative, Meng Shuyun shook her head and pulled her youngest daughter toward the Ye family's house.
“Your sister is quite far along in her pregnancy now, so telling her would be worse. If that beast Ye Jianguo isn’t home, we won’t be able to explain ourselves even if we have ten mouths, and it will only deepen the rift between your sister and us.”
Su Xiuju nodded as if she understood, thinking that following her mother was the right thing to do.
"The Ye family's house is just ahead. That woman lives in the building next door." Li Dashun pointed to the adjacent buildings not far away, all with courtyards, just a few steps away.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jianguo and a woman walked out of the courtyard.
Ye Jianguo took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xiaomeng: "Take this and use it to nourish your son. This money was reimbursed by the supply and marketing cooperative. It was originally intended to nourish my son. Take it and ask me for it when you've used it up."
Liu Xiaomeng leaned against Ye Jianguo's chest, "Is this the compensation Su Xiulan gave me for faking the accident that day? Wasn't it eight hundred yuan? How come it's only four hundred?"
Ye Jianguo kissed her on the cheek. "If my mother hadn't snatched it from her, you probably wouldn't have even gotten two hundred. Alright, I have to go to work now, go back quickly."
The two rooms were not far apart, and the three of them could hear everything clearly. Meng Shuyun's eyes were blazing with anger, and she gritted her teeth.
What a scoundrel Ye Jianguo! He actually dared to blatantly steal Xiulan's things and then give them to this wild woman outside.
She didn't even dare to imagine how much injustice her Xiulan had suffered. If Li Dashun hadn't seen it, she probably wouldn't have told her.
“You two wait here, I’ll be right back,” Meng Shuyun said, rummaging through her cloth bag and pulling out a large burlap sack. “When you see someone come out from next door, Da Shun, whistle.”
If Old Lady Zhao comes out, beat her up too!
Su Xiuju was worried and was about to step forward when Meng Shuyun stopped her with a look, so she had to stay where she was.
While making a phone call, Ye Jianguo took out a cigarette and walked into the alley. It was windy outside, so it wasn't a good time to light a match.
Meng Shuyun followed behind, holding the sack high. Just as Ye Jianguo struck a match, the sack was suddenly slammed down on him.
"Who is it? How dare they ambush me!"
Ye Jianguo shouted angrily and was about to struggle when he was kicked in the buttocks.
The tall man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, fell to the ground with a thud, writhing in pain like a maggot.
Meng Shuyun used both hands and feet, showing no mercy. She wished she had more hands and feet to beat this beast.
Suddenly, Meng Shuyun's arm was grabbed. Startled, she turned around and saw Su Xiuju holding two brooms.
They arrived just in time; the mother and daughter each grabbed a broom and began to beat Ye Jianguo with all their might.
A moment later, Li Dashun quickly grabbed the two men's arms, signaling them to leave immediately.
He then carried Ye Jianguo on his back and threw him into the yard like trash.
Ye Jianguo's screams and wails attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard. When someone came out to see what was happening, they were terrified.
"Oh! Jianguo, how are you?"
A heavily pregnant woman ran out in a panic, and when she saw Ye Jianguo on the ground, her face turned pale with fright.
Everything was fine just a moment ago, but now they've been beaten up with a sack over their heads!
Liu Xiaomeng rushed forward and pulled the sack off Ye Jianguo's head. She saw Ye Jianguo with a bruised and swollen face, and screamed in fright, almost falling over.
Ye Jianguo spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained a tooth.
He was in excruciating pain all over his body and didn't know where to cover himself. He just shouted, "What are you looking at! Call a car right now, I need to go to the hospital."
Meng Shuyun and the other two hid not far away, watching the commotion in the courtyard.
With such a commotion, Meng Shuyun felt a little disappointed that she didn't see Old Lady Zhao come out. She thought that she should also beat her up, since neither of them were good people.
Turning her gaze away, Meng Shuyun finally felt some of the anger she had been holding in.
Compared to Ye Jianguo's actions, beating him up was too lenient.
"Mother, my second brother-in-law really is keeping a woman outside. She's so pregnant. It's outrageous. She lives next door and even stole my second sister's money."
Su Xiuju complained aggrievedly, regretting that she hadn't hit him more; she should have crushed his two ounces of flesh.
"Don't tell your second sister about what happened today. It's getting late, let's go home first."
