Chapter 119 The Sky Collapses

Xiao Guoqiang took several steps back, then sat on the ground with a plop, his head buzzing with thoughts of various possibilities.

For example, someone who beats someone up would be sent to the police station, or someone who was beaten up would be sent to the hospital. But no one would have thought that two people would be struck by lightning and sent to the hospital.

As the old saying goes, people who are struck by lightning are unlucky people. What sin did the Xiao family commit?

If people in the village knew about this, they would be criticized for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Xiuzhen came out of the house and saw the man sitting on the ground with a strange look on his face, so she ran over immediately.

"What's wrong with you, the boss?"

“The sky is falling!”

"What's going on?" Zhu Xiuzhen pulled the man up and said, "Tell me what happened?"

"They caused trouble yesterday and were arrested by the police. Yingzi and Mingyue were struck by lightning." Xiao Guoqiang slapped his thigh. "No one in our family has ever been struck by lightning, not even in the whole village! How are we going to face people when we go out from now on? Will they think we are unlucky people?"

"Oh my God!" Zhu Xiuzhen muttered. Now she knew why the sky had fallen.

"How did they get struck by lightning? What should we do next?"

"What can I do? The police just told me that they want me to pay for my hospitalization. What do you think we should do about this?"

"Where did the money come from? That little bitch took all our money away. We only have a hundred or so yuan in the house. If we give more money away, we won't be able to make ends meet in the future!"

Ma Chuntao stood at the door and listened to what happened. She felt really relieved. That sister-in-law finally got into trouble.

He usually shows off at home, and that Su Mingyue is not a good person either.

Now they all got their comeuppance!

Seeing her little daughter was about to go out, she quickly pulled the child back, and the firepower was diverted.

Thinking of this, she quickly took the child into the house.

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom!" Xiao Fufu said in a baby voice.

Ma Chuntao quickly covered her daughter's mouth.

"Chuntao! Come here." Zhu Xiuzhen forced a smile and called her daughter-in-law back.

Ma Chuntao was stopped and had no choice but to bring her daughter to them.

"Mom, what are you calling me for?"

"It's like this. Our family is in trouble now. You have to lend a hand and go back to your parents' home to get some money." Zhu Xiuzhen had no choice but to turn her attention to her daughter-in-law.

Ma Chuntao's family had no sons, only three daughters. When there was a famine, she almost starved to death. They spent several kilograms of grain to marry her.

After entering the family, Ma Chuntao has been working very hard, and is as good as her eldest daughter-in-law. She has always considered it an honor to have two such capable daughters-in-law.

Now the eldest daughter-in-law has left them, and thinking about the 100 yuan that she took away, he almost bit his lip.

"Mom, you know my family is extremely poor, how could they have money? I seldom go back to my family home, and now I'm going back and asking for money, this is not good!" Ma Chuntao refused without hesitation. In her opinion, it was okay to borrow money for her own child.

Now she is borrowing money for her troublesome sister-in-law, and she was out of her mind when she went back to borrow the money.

"If you don't go back, what will happen to our family? We are out of money now. If your sister-in-law doesn't come back, who else can we rely on if not you?" Zhu Xiuzhen acted as if she was relying on her younger daughter-in-law.

Ma Chuntao happened to see her husband come in, and she knelt down with a thud.

"Mom, please don't make things difficult for me. My family is really poor and can't afford any money. It will make my parents miserable. They married me off just for two kilograms of millet."

Xiao Xiaodong put down the hoe in his hand and walked over to his daughter-in-law, pulling her up from the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"Mom, let me go back to my parents' home to borrow money. You know we don't have any money. My mom is a sickly woman and my dad has a bad leg. They've survived all these years thanks to the help of my eldest and second sisters. I'm powerless and couldn't help at all. Now I'm going back to ask for money. I really can't open my mouth!" Ma Chuntao lowered her head to wipe her eyes and deliberately squeezed out a few tears. She was not as strong as her eldest sister-in-law.

She can only use her weakness as a little woman, which can arouse men's protection.

Xiao Xiaodong turned around, "Mom, what are you doing? You know what's going on at Chuntao's house. If you ask her to go back and get the money, isn't that asking my mother-in-law to die?"

"Kid, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhu Xiuzhen slapped her thigh and then sat on the ground and cried.

"I worked so hard to raise the three of you, but none of you came to repay me. You all came to collect debts.

Your sister was struck by lightning and is now in the hospital and needs medical expenses. I really have no other options now, so I am thinking of asking your wife to go back and ask for some money to temporarily solve the problem. When the production team gets the money, I will ask her to pay it back."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Xiaodong simply didn't believe that someone could survive being struck by lightning. It was a thunderbolt from the sky. He once saw a tree being struck by lightning.

The trunk of the tree caught fire and the entire tree was burned to ashes. He was so scared at the time that he had nightmares for several days!

"Xiaodong, I didn't lie to you. The police station came and said your sister was struck by lightning and is in the hospital." Xiao Guoqiang pretended to be pitiful, "Now Dad doesn't know what to do. What do you think we should do?"

Xiao Xiaodong was stumped. First of all, he had no money. After thinking about it, he said,

"Dad, I don't know what to do. How about you go ask the village chief? Didn't they go together?"

"Then I'll go ask the village chief." Xiao Guoqiang thought that if the village chief couldn't solve the problem, he would go directly to the secretary's house. Things were so serious that he couldn't let his family take all the responsibility.

Watching the old man walk away, Zhu Xiuzhen did not speak to her son and daughter-in-law. Instead, she glared at them and went back to the house, despising them as waste.

Ma Chuntao burst into tears, "Xiaodong, life is really unbearable now. What should we do in the future? Your mother is such a person, and your father is so biased!"

"Be patient and wait for my eldest brother to come back. If that doesn't work, we can just split up the family!" Xiao Xiaodong had thought of splitting up the family. "But then you'll have to go out with me to suffer. It will definitely not be as comfortable as at home. The food we get is not much, and we have many children. I'm really worried that we won't have enough to eat."

"It's okay. As long as I can be with you, I'll accept it even if it's just drinking cold water. But now it's getting boring to be together. I'm really afraid that your mother will get angry and make things difficult for my parents! They are old and can't stand it anymore."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
