Chunhua rode a tricycle, Li Qiumei pointed the way to her, and the five of them ran towards Zhou Xuejuan's house.
When passing by the square, Li Qiumei heard Qin Ruyue calling her.
When I turned around, I saw her and Yang Huaihua running towards me from the side alley.
"Qiumei, where are you going?"
Li Qiumei jumped off the tricycle, pulled the two people aside, and briefly explained what had happened.
Yang Huaihua reached out and patted Li Qiumei: "Come on, I'll go too. You can't hit your mother, I'll do it for you!"
Qin Ruyue also choked up and said, "And me, I'll beat her for you too."
Li Qiumei looked at the group of five people and was about to say, "There are too many people. Why don't you two not go?"
Yang Huaihua walked towards the tricycle and said, "Dear sisters and aunts, I have a huge hatred with Li Qiumei's mother.
It's just that I haven't been able to deal with her for Qiu Mei's sake.
Now that you are going to settle the score with her, I hope you can help me vent my anger on her as well.
After we get out, I'll give each of you two dollars, and the one who worked the hardest will get an extra two dollars."
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "So the one who works the most gets four dollars?"
Yang Huaihua nodded: "Yes, just don't let anyone get killed."
The old lady who came with the eldest aunt was Zhang Jianjun's third aunt. She also smiled and said, "Then we must teach Li Qiumei's mother a lesson today.
How can a mother be like this? She is obsessed with money."
Li Qiumei felt a little amused when she saw Aunt Chen rubbing her hands in anticipation of a fight. It must be Yang Huaihua who had so many ideas.
She pulled Qin Ruyue over and said, "Ruyue, go and help me report the case.
If you want to make a fuss, then make it to the end. I want to sever ties with my parents."
Yang Huaihua clapped her hands softly: "Well done! Such a family is not worthy of you.
From now on, I will be your family."
Qin Ruyue nodded: "Then be careful, I'll go now."
When the group arrived at Zhou Xuejuan's house, Hu Lanying and her aunt and grandmother had not left yet.
"Qiumei, why are you back?" Hu Lanying was a little surprised.
"What's the matter? You don't think I can't come back, do you?" Li Qiumei pulled a chair over and sat aside.
"Hu Lanying, we'll settle the matter of you drugging me and selling me out later.
Now, Zhang Jianjun's family has come to you to ask for the 100 yuan betrothal gift. You should settle the bill first."
Hu Lanying got angry when she heard this: "What do you mean by 100 yuan?
Where can I get a hundred yuan? Zhang Jianguo only gave me eighty yuan."
Before the eldest aunt could speak, Aunt Chen spoke up: "Don't even think about shirking your responsibility.
Our family clearly gave you a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift.
Your daughter doesn't want to celebrate the wedding, so you should quickly return the 100 yuan betrothal gift to our family."
Hu Lanying glanced at her aunt and grandmother, crossed her arms and said, "Bah, wishful thinking.
We pay first and get the goods first.
Now that the people have been carried back to your family, our business is over."
Although she had no expectations of Hu Lanying for a long time, when Li Qiumei heard from her that she was just a commodity in Hu Lanying's eyes, she was still strangely angry.
She looked at Hu Lanying and said sarcastically, "You really want money but not shame."
Hu Lanying was furious and said, "Shut up! You idiot!
What girl would bring outsiders to bully her family?
It was the man’s brother who said that his eldest brother would only live for one or two days at most.
He will let you go after his brother dies.
I figured it would only take three or five days, and since you wouldn't be at any disadvantage, and you're free anyway, you might as well go for a walk."
Li Qiumei laughed in anger: "Then why don't you go? You have nothing to do anyway."
Hu Lanying raised her hand to hit Li Qiumei, but was stopped by her aunt.
"Silly girl, I only came to you because you had a good birth date. I gave you that birth date."
Aunt Chen came over and said, "Stop interrupting me and return our money quickly, or don't blame us for not giving you face."
Hu Lanying yelled, "How could you go back on your word?
We had agreed at the beginning that no matter whether she was dead or alive, my daughter would be allowed to leave within a week at the latest.
That's why I agree with you and only accept 80 yuan as the betrothal gift.
Otherwise, how could it be only eighty yuan?
Now that someone in your family has died, you must keep your promise, complete the funeral, and let my daughter come back.
How can I ask for the money back?"
The eldest aunt was standing next to Hu Lanying and slapped her twice without saying a word.
"You damn old woman, our Jianjun is alive and well, and you actually dare to curse him? I'll beat you to death."
Hu Lanying and her aunt started to fight.
Chunhua and Aunt Chen hurried over and each grabbed one of Hu Lanying's hands.
Hu Lanying was slapped several times by her aunt.
She shouted angrily, "Li Qiumei, if you don't come to help, your mother will be beaten to death by them.
You unfilial daughter, sooner or later I will ask your father to beat you to death!"
Chunhua and the others surrounded Hu Lanying and shouted, "Pay back the money!
You old woman, you want money over life."
They were shouting and their hands were not idle.
Li Qiumei saw Chunhua punching Hu Lanying several times, while Aunt Chen pinched the flesh on Hu Lanying's waist with her hands.
Hu Lanying grimaced in pain, and Yang Huaihua covered her mouth and smiled.
Sure enough, no matter how they scolded or beat her, Hu Lanying refused to pay back the money.
My great aunt sat on the sofa and watched all this coldly.
"Qiumei, this is your cousin's house, not the vegetable market.
What do you want to do by bringing them home?"
