“Well then,” Zhao Lanzhi’s tone softened. “I only did this because I felt sorry for your family, and besides, my Juan’er is alright now.”
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Lu Yuncheng thought things had taken a turn for the better and thanked him first.
"Don't thank me yet. I heard you earn 200 yuan a month at the factory. If you give me 600 yuan, I'll agree to change my address to you."
That's outrageous!
Lu Yuncheng roared inwardly; she was simply asking for an exorbitant price!
600 yuan! Even if Zhao Lanzhi worked in the fields all year round and wore out her hoe, she wouldn't earn that much!
Lu Yuncheng clenched his fists at his sides, wanting to rush up and beat this ungrateful woman.
Unfortunately, he's just venting his emotions by beating people up now; he'll probably be taken to the police station with them tomorrow.
Lu Yuncheng struggled to suppress the surging anger in his chest, finally forcing out a single word through gritted teeth: "Fine."
Lu Yuncheng went home, asked Old Lady Li for 600 yuan and gave it to Zhao Lanzhi, finally getting Qi Ran out of the police station.
Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng had just returned home when Old Lady Li swung a broom and hit Qi Ran squarely in the face: "You heartless bastard, are you only satisfied when you've squandered all the money in the house?"
The broom hit her face, and dust rushed into Qi Ran's nose. She coughed several times before she calmed down: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"What did I do? Do you know that because of your matter, the eldest son took 600 yuan from home and gave it to Zhao Lanzhi!" Old Mrs. Li roared.
Qi Ran, having just left the police station, was hearing about this for the first time. She looked at Lu Yuncheng in disbelief and asked, "You really gave Zhao Lanzhi 600 yuan?"
Lu Yuncheng nodded.
Qi Ran was furious. This Zhao Lanzhi was truly ungrateful. If she hadn't arrived in time, would Zhao Juan still be alive and well? She'd probably be dead by now!
But Zhao Lanzhi not only didn't appreciate the small favor she had done to save her life, she even ripped her off!
Qi Ran grew angrier the more she thought about it and decided to confront Zhao Lanzhi. Looking at the utterly irresponsible Lu Yuncheng in front of her, she simply turned around and went back to her parents' home to get help.
This time, don't return the 600 yuan; she'll write Qi Ran's name backwards!
Qi Ran is the seventh child in her family and the only daughter, with six older brothers.
elder brother.
Although she was the only daughter in the Qi family, her parents favored boys over girls and treated her worse than her brothers. Fortunately, her six brothers were genuinely kind to her.
When Qi Ran first married into the Lu family, she would run back to her parents' home whenever she was upset, asking her brothers to avenge her. Every time, she would inevitably be scolded by her mother.
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; how can she have the nerve to run back to her parents' home every day? Besides, your six brothers also have their own lives. If you keep bothering them, how can they not live their own lives?"
After that, Qi Ran still frequently helped her family, but rarely went back. This time, she had reached her breaking point and was determined to seek revenge on her brothers!
Like the Lu family, the Qi family had not separated and the whole family lived together. Only the eldest, third, and sixth sons of the Qi family were home that day.
"Big brother, third brother, and sixth brother, come with me quickly! There's a shameless widow in our village who dared to swindle 600 yuan from me!"
The eldest, third, and sixth sons of the Qi family exchanged a knowing smile after hearing this—another job was in store!
Their younger sister was the most generous; every time they helped her beat someone up, they always received a reward.
They stormed to the Zhao family's house in a rage. Seeing the tightly closed gate, they kicked it several times with brute force until the entire gate collapsed.
Zhao Lanzhi was stunned when she heard the commotion at home. Looking at the three burly men in front of her, she was so frightened that her legs trembled: "Let's talk this out. We're all neighbors."
"Who says I'm your neighbor!" Qi Ran stepped out from behind the three, her eyes filled with icy coldness. "I saved Zhao Juan's life, and you still try to kill me! It seems you really don't know who you are until you've suffered a bit!"
"Brothers, that's her!" Qi Ran gave the order, and the three Qi brothers rushed up and rubbed Zhao Lanzhi to the ground.
The woman's shrill cries for help failed to evoke any sympathy from the three brothers; instead, they became even more excited, and punched Zhao Lanzhi repeatedly until she quickly passed out.
"Girl!"
Zhao Lanzhi's brother, Zhao Li, finally returned home from the army, only to find his sister with a bruised and swollen face.
How could he possibly tolerate this?
He put down his package and started fighting with the three Qi brothers.
The three Qi brothers were just idle hooligans, and had no chance against a trained soldier like Zhao Li.
Soon, the three of them were pinned to the ground and thoroughly humiliated by Zhao Li.
After the three Qi brothers lost consciousness, Zhao Li did not let Qi Ran, who had been watching from the sidelines, off the hook. He grabbed her by the collar and beat her up without any mercy.
Zhao Li himself collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion and overexertion from the journey. Finally, Lu Yuncheng, who had come looking for Qi Ran, took them all to the hospital.
When Qi Ran woke up, the first person she saw was her mother. She pouted and said to her mother, "Mom, you have no idea how much that madman hit me!"
Qi's mother's eyes were cold: "So you know what pain is? If you know what pain is, why did you send your brother and the others?"
"Help you? It's one thing for you, a woman, to be beaten, but what if something happens to your brother and the others? What if the whole family falls apart because of this?"
"Can you shoulder this responsibility?" Without a word of comfort or concern, Qi's mother launched into endless accusations.
