Li Qiumei was impressed to see that Hu Lanying could cry so easily. She wondered why she didn't go and act.
Why didn't she and Li Qiuxiang learn this skill from Hu Lanying?
And there is Li Guofu, who didn't even cough once after smoking a cigarette, but now he is holding his chest and coughing non-stop.
A plump old lady looked at Li Qiumei and her sister and said, "Girls, I see that you are old enough to be mothers.
You should also understand how difficult it is to be a parent. You shouldn't forget your roots."
The others nodded in agreement, "That's right, the old man is coughing so badly that he's not even allowed to come inside to rest. That's simply outrageous."
Li Qiumei quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes: "Aunt, it's because we two sisters are both mothers that I can't figure it out.
We are all her flesh and blood. How could she be so cruel as to sell us sisters twice for the bride price?
She sold me to a dying man for a wedding, and sold my sister to a labor camp inmate...
Hu Lanying screamed and interrupted Li Qiumei: "Li Qiumei, you are talking nonsense.
When did I ever sell you two out? You're trying to put the blame on me."
Li Qiumei sniffed and said, "You can't deny it. Last time you betrayed me, the Public Security Bureau arrested you and locked you up. This is recorded.
Besides, we sisters have severed our ties with you two.
When we broke off the relationship, we gave you money from the day we were born.
The money we gave you was borrowed by my sister and I.
My sister and I haven't paid off our loan yet, and you're asking for money again.
I wonder if there are any parents in this world who are as greedy as you two. You never care about the life and death of us sisters. All you care about is money."
An old lady asked, "Have you two sisters severed ties with your family?"
Li Qiumei nodded: "It's broken, and I can't live without it.
Sister, go in and get the letter of severance and show it to these aunts and uncles."
After saying this, Li Qiumei pointed at Hu Lanying who was sitting on the ground and said, "She never works in the fields all day long. She's always thinking about how to sell us sisters for a good price so that she can marry her son and provide for them in their old age."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around started talking about it.
"So he's a man who favors boys over girls. This is too much."
"That's right! He sucked the blood of his daughters for the sake of his son, forcing them to break off relations with him.
Now you come to make trouble again, you are so shameless."
"Is this true?"
Li Qiuxiang took out the letter of severance of engagement. More and more people came back from get off work in the community, and many of them were more interested in joining in the fun than eating.
The fat old lady took it and was about to open it when Li Guofu rushed over to grab it, scaring the old lady so much that she staggered and almost fell.
Li Qiumei quickly helped the old lady.
The old lady handed the letter of severance to a woman wearing glasses behind her and said, "Director Jia, please read it to us."
Then she stood in front of Li Guofu with her hands on her hips.
"Didn't you say you were sick? What's wrong? The wind blew and you're all better now. You can even go and grab things."
Li Guofu glared at her and stretched out his hand towards Director Jia: "Give it to me!"
Li Qiumei quickly shouted, "Don't give it to him! They're trying to destroy the evidence."
Alas, I don’t know where to make copies these days. Otherwise, I could make dozens of copies and see if he can tear them all up.
Hu Lanying got up from the ground and angrily pointed at Li Qiumei's nose and cursed: "We worked hard to send you to school and found a good marriage for you, but who knew..."
No one listened to her chattering. The woman named Director Jia had already stood by the flower bed, opened the letter and started reading.
Li Qiumei pointed at Hu Lanying and said, "Sister, look at her."
When Li Guofu tried to snatch the letter, he was surrounded by the fat old lady and several women.
"You've lived for most of your life, so let's hear how this letter of severance is written."
Li Guofu waved his fist angrily and hit the fat old lady.
Li Qiumei dodged and stood in front of the old lady, taking the punch from Li Guofu.
Ouch, Li Guofu’s punch almost made Li Qiumei vomit blood.
She seriously doubted whether the bones in her back were broken.
Damn, with Li Guofu's physique, as long as he's not lazy and gluttonous, there's no problem for him to eat by relying on his own strength.
The fat old lady patted her chest and said, "Oh, I was scared to death.
Girl, are you okay?"
Li Qiumei grinned: "Aunt, I'm fine. It's not the first time he beat me."
This time, the crowd of onlookers was angry.
"This damn old man doesn't look like a good person. He's so old and yet he hits people at every turn.
This shows how much suffering these two sisters have endured at home."
Li Guofu was furious: "You rebellious girl, when did I ever hit you? Don't spit blood at me."
An old man crossed his arms and said, "He just got beaten up and he doesn't admit his guilt. He's obviously irresponsible."
"you...."
"What do you mean?" The old man stared at him seriously.
Li Guofu was scared. He walked towards Li Qiuxiang's door with his head down.
Zhou Xiaopeng, who was standing at the door watching, quickly ran in and closed the door.
"This little bastard is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed." Li Guofu squatted down at the door while cursing.
"Everyone, please be quiet and let Director Jia finish reading."
Hu Lanying cried out, "It's all our fault for not being able to read. The two sisters tricked us into signing this severance letter, so it's not valid.
Don’t let them fool you.”
Director Jia finally finished reading, and the onlookers took the letter of severance and passed it around to read.
"I've learned a lot. This is how a personal letter is written."
Two women came back pushing bicycles and asked, "What happened?"
The old lady next to them was busy explaining to them.
Li Qiumei saw that Hu Lanying was a little crazy. It was probably her first time experiencing this. No one listened to her nonsense. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Girl, this is the first time I've heard of parents like this.
Why would you bother with them now that you've severed ties?"
Li Qiumei wiped her eyes and said, "Aunt, I was forced to do nothing, so I ran away to another place and they couldn't find me.
My sister has a child with her and can't run away.
They come to my sister to ask for money every day. My sister is a soft-hearted person. It has been two years since we broke off the relationship, but she is still being controlled by them.
If I hadn't come back this time, I wouldn't have known that my sister was bullied like this by them.
As soon as I received my monthly salary, I was asked to leave.
If you don't give me money, I'll try to commit suicide.
Look, today is my sister’s salary day, and the old couple came to ask for money.”
