Chapter 7: Blackmail if you can’t borrow
Deng Xiuzhen's words about changing the shop were true, and the handling of the goods was even more true. It was not that they did not want to be tough, nor did they think that they could not do business well, but they thought that having relatives like Deng Chunlin made life uncomfortable. Especially since Deng Xiuzhen had lived in the city for so many years, she knew that her family could live well in the city.
Knowing that it was Song Yuanxiang and the others who set up the trap, Deng Xiuzhen was no longer anxious. She had already told Song Yuanxiang today that if they continued like this, she would not indulge them. She was now with her child and had not yet settled down in the city. She did not have her own house here, so she was not able to confront them yet.
But she couldn't let them have their way. She didn't believe that if she went to accompany Tan Yanxiang, she would stay in the hospital forever.
As for Song Yuanxiang, she walked forward for a while, looked back and saw Deng Xiuzhen returning home, so she quickly turned around and went to the hospital.
"Yuanxiang, how long do you think I have to lie here? I'm about to get moldy." Seeing Song Yuanxiang, Qin Yanxiang turned her neck and said.
"What does that woman mean?" Liu Shengjie also came over and asked.
"She refused to take the money and said she would come to accompany you from tomorrow..."
"How can that be possible? She is with me, and I can't get out of bed or sneak out. Wouldn't that be like being in prison? No, no!" Before Song Yuanxiang could finish her words, Qin Yanxiang objected.
Liu Shengjie didn't say much. He was a brainless man. He just did whatever his wife told him to do. A few days ago, he went to the door of Tan Yanlin's shop to make trouble. The police station talked to him. They said that although his wife was injured, it was not intentional, and that the other party was treating his wife. If he continued to do this, it would make Tan Yanlin's family suffer. Tan Yanlin beat him, and they couldn't do anything about it. After all, he was the one who provoked the other party.
After that, he didn't dare to go there anymore. He just stayed in the hospital quietly, waiting for Deng Xiuzhen to pay the money and then they would split the money.
"What should I do? If I can't get the money, how can I share it with you?" Song Yuanxiang whispered.
"Then I don't care. You asked me to do this. You said you would give me 1,000 yuan afterwards, but you didn't say how much money she wanted. Now I have done everything, and I have been lying in bed for these days, and Shengjie has been with me for these days. I don't care how much you can get, but our 1,000 yuan cannot be less, otherwise I will tell everyone!" Tan Yanxiang was anxious when she heard that there was no money. She agreed to harm Deng Xiuzhen together because of the 1,000 yuan. Otherwise, Deng Xiuzhen had no grudge against her, and she would not have helped Song Yuanxiang do such a thing.
"Speak quietly, don't let anyone hear us." Song Yuanxiang reminded.
"You have done this, so what if someone hears it? I'm not afraid!" Qin Yanxiang said toughly but lowered her voice.
"If you tell others, your reputation will be ruined. Besides, you were the ones who had been lying in bed for so many days, and you were the ones who asked for compensation. I can say that it was you who wanted to do this and you who wanted to blackmail her. It has nothing to do with me." Song Yuanxiang was not afraid that they would tell others. She was just a witness throughout the whole process.
"You, you, you, get out of here!" Tan Yanxiang didn't expect Song Yuanxiang to say that, and she was extremely angry for a moment.
Song Yuanxiang did not leave, but sat down, thought for a while and said: "Looking at Xiuzhen's attitude, she doesn't plan to give us much money. I will talk to her tomorrow and see if I can get her to give me one or two thousand. Then I will give you five hundred. Don't think it's too little. If it weren't for my advice, you wouldn't be able to lie down and eat and drink well these days. And if Dongmei and I don't testify, the police station won't believe it. I have to give Dongmei two hundred..."
Tan Yanxiang didn't say anything, but nodded. Liu Shengjie looked at Tan Yanxiang and nodded as well.
Song Yuanxiang went back with peace of mind. The last time Deng Chunlin went to borrow money, he didn't get the money and was very angry. He came back and beat her up. She was angry, didn't Deng Xiuzhen always lend money? Why didn't she lend money this time? Why didn't she lend money and let her get beaten?
It happened that Tan Yanxiang and Dongmei came to her, and heard Tan Yanxiu talking about the foundation. She said that Tan Wei didn't dare to sell it to Tan Yanlin now because Tan Xiubing wanted it. Tan Xiubing was Tan Yanxiang's cousin, and she knew what kind of person her cousin was. Tan Yanlin would definitely not be able to buy the foundation, and would definitely go back to Tan Yingcai to seek justice, and Tan Yingcai had been keeping an eye on the project recently.
They called Deng Chunlin and Liu Shengjie, and together they came up with a plan: on the day that Tan Yanlin bought the land, Deng Chunlin would deal with Tan Yanlin, and the three of them would stage a play to blackmail Deng Xiuzhen's family.
You don't want to lend it to me? If you don't lend it to me, I will blackmail you. I will blackmail you to death! Song Yuanxiang muttered inwardly.
As soon as Song Yuanxiang left, Tan Yanxiang immediately asked Liu Shengjie to find Deng Xiuzhen. She wanted to talk to Deng Xiuzhen.
Deng Xiuzhen did not hesitate and followed immediately. She did not call Tan Yanlin because she guessed what Tan Yanxiang wanted to call her for.
Furthermore, if Liu Shengjie dares to touch her, she will get a concussion, and then we'll see who will be able to lie down.
Seeing Tan Yanxiang, Deng Xiuzhen said nothing, just smiled faintly, and then sat down.
"Xiuzhen, I feel much better today. We are acquaintances, and I can't let you spend too much money. I will be discharged from the hospital if possible." Tan Yanxiang pretended to be sick these days and told so many lies that she could lie without blushing and would not stop talking.
Deng Xiuzhen still didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Tan Yanxiang, who had prepared herself mentally, felt a little nervous when she saw the calm Deng Xiuzhen and her deep eyes. She even stuttered when she spoke the draft she had prepared. "Xiu, Xiuzhen, I, I think I should just leave the hospital. Shengjie has been accompanying me these days and has not done any work. You should just give me some wages. For the rest, forget it."
Deng Xiuzhen curled her lips and said coldly: "How much do you want?"
"Five hundred, five hundred is okay?" Liu Shengjie said as he opened his right hand.
"Five hundred is a bit too much for you, but..." Deng Xiuzhen paused and continued, "Since we are familiar with each other, I will give it to you, but you have to write me a letter agreeing to settle the matter, and a village official must be a witness."
The two agreed immediately. Liu Shengjie ran to call Qin Guojun and Doctor Song. They wrote the document, signed and put their fingerprints on it. Then Deng Xiuzhen gave 500 yuan to Qin Yanxiang.
The matter was settled and everyone went home. Qin Yanxiang and Liu Shengjie immediately went through the discharge procedures.
On the way home, Liu Shengjie asked Tan Yanxiang: "Song Yuanxiang promised to give us 500, why did we have to find Deng Xiuzhen alone?"
Tan Yanxiang smiled and said: Song Yuanxiang's five hundred is unreliable. Besides, why should she get most of the money since we did all the work? She asked for ten thousand right away and didn't even say she would give us a cent more.
I didn't think of arguing with her. But now that Deng Xiuzhen refused to give it, she would reduce ours. I can't trust such people, so I might as well take what's already there.
Just as she said, we didn't dare to go out and tell others that she was working with us to extort money from Deng Xiuzhen, and she didn't dare to say it either.
In this case, why should I let her have an easy life?
Liu Shengjie thought about it and said worriedly: What if she gets desperate and tells the truth? Will we be arrested?
Tan Yanxiang kicked Liu Shengjie and said: What nonsense are you talking about? This matter won't happen. First, we have already signed the settlement agreement; second, Song Yuanxiang won't say it, because she won't get the money if she does. Besides, even if she lets it slip, I can say that she teamed up with Deng Xiuzhen to bully me. They are my sister-in-law and my younger sister-in-law.
She said that Deng Xiuzhen hurt me, which was convincing. I said that she teamed up with my sister-in-law to bully me, which was also beyond doubt.
