The wicked mother-in-law glared at Ye Qingqing and said viciously, "Sixty thousand yuan is not enough, now it's sixteen thousand, not a penny less."
The jade bracelet on this beautiful woman's wrist was clearly a treasure. She had heard her daughter say that a jade bracelet was worth more than a dozen gold bracelets. She would have to ask for a higher price so that her youngest son could marry into the family.
Ah Zhen's face changed drastically, and tears streamed down her face. This family had no intention of letting her and her daughter live!
Sixteen thousand...who can come up with that much money?
Even if Ye Hua's relatives could come up with the money, she still couldn't pay it back!
The village chief was furious. They were making a fool of him. What was most infuriating was that he had lost face in front of the guests. The whole family were troublemakers. He was supposed to be the village's official, and they had really disrespected him.
"You said it was 60,000 yuan just two days ago, how did it suddenly become 160,000 yuan? Wu Minbai, you step forward! You are the head of this family. What kind of behavior is it to let a woman take the lead? You tell me!" the village chief roared.
The scoundrel father-in-law huddled behind the wicked mother-in-law, grinning and saying, "My wife is in charge in my family. She makes the decisions. I have nothing to say. If she says 160,000, then it's 160,000."
He was even hoping to ask for 260,000. His eldest son lost 100,000, and the family enjoyed a good life for a while, eating meat every day. Now that the money is gone, he hasn't seen meat for a week and he's craving it terribly.
The wicked mother-in-law was smug and didn't take the village chief seriously at all. This was her family matter, and even if the police came, they couldn't interfere. The village chief was nothing to her.
"Give me 160,000 and we're leaving. If you can't, get out!"
Ah Zhen couldn't help but cry out, "You only spent a thousand dollars to buy me back then. I've been working like a slave for your family all these years, and you even took away the money I made from selling breakfast. You can't treat people like this..."
The wicked old woman kicked him and said viciously, "Once you enter my house, you're still part of my family, even if you die. You jinx who killed my son, and you still have the nerve to cry? I'll beat you to death, you jinx!"
As she spoke, she raised her foot to kick again, but Wuchen snorted heavily. The wicked old woman shook her head and withdrew her foot, deciding to teach this little vixen a lesson after the group of people left.
Ye Qingqing glanced at the sobbing Ah Zhen. Although her face was sallow and she was thin, her features were very beautiful. Her eyebrows and eyes showed that she was an upright person. Just as Master Ye said, she was a good girl, but unfortunately she had a bad fate.
If she wasn't rescued, Ah Zhen would be tortured to death by the Wu family sooner or later. Even if it wasn't for Ye Hua's sake, she should still do her part for the poor woman, but she absolutely couldn't let this evil family get away with it.
"I can agree to 160,000, but you have to write a contract. Otherwise, if I take out the money and you ask for an exorbitant price, we won't be able to settle this score." Ye Qingqing readily agreed.
The village chief and Master Ye were both taken aback. That was 160,000! They could just come up with the money to ransom someone so easily. They must be incredibly rich.
Ah Zhen was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, sobbing uncontrollably. In her heart, she planned to serve Ye Qingqing like a slave for the rest of her life to repay her kindness.
Seeing that Ye Qingqing agreed so readily, the wicked mother-in-law regretted it. She should have asked for more. Her eyes darted around, and she had another idea.
"160,000 is the price for Ah Zhen alone. You can only take her away. My granddaughter must stay. She is a member of the Wu family."
The wicked mother-in-law killed Ah Zhen, but mother and daughter are of one mind. As long as she has her granddaughter in her grasp, she is not afraid that Ah Zhen will leave and will come back sooner or later.
