Seeing Li Yang disappear at the door, Feng Mei was extremely anxious. "Don't you want money? Stop her now! Why are you stopping me?"
Even Cheng Wei felt disgusted by Feng Mei's behavior.
Although his mother is patriarchal, there are not many people who can do what Feng Mei does.
He stood in front of Feng Mei, completely blocking her line of sight. He said with a stern face, "Don't bother talking nonsense to me. I promised you three days to prepare the money. You must pay it when the time comes." His eyes shifted to Li Yaozu, who was trying to hide himself. "If you still can't come up with the money, we'll have to send your son to the police station."
"No, you are not allowed to touch my son!" Feng Mei's face was full of fear. She no longer had the ferocity she had shown when facing Li Yang before.
She held up three fingers, then took two back. "Give us one more day. In one day, I'll definitely raise the money!"
If it was anything else, she could have just thrown a tantrum and cursed, and the matter would have been over. However, Li Yaozu happened to provoke Cheng Wei's cousin, and the man was indeed injured. There were only a few witnesses who could be found. There was no other way except to reduce the money from 1,000 yuan offered by the Zhao family to 600 yuan.
Cheng Wei didn't listen to Feng Mei this time and said, "Don't say I'm too ruthless. I'll give you one more day to prepare the money, but..." He grabbed Li Yaozu with his big hand and lifted him up like a chicken. "We'll invite him for tea first. When you bring the money tomorrow, we'll send him back. If you don't see the money by this time tomorrow, you can go to the police station to pick up your son."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the people he brought with him dispersed instantly. In the long alley, only the unwilling cries of Li Yaozu remained.
Feng Mei chased after him for a few steps, tripped, and fell to the ground. She shouted at the onlookers, "You are dead people! You didn't see my son was taken away, and you didn't help!"
Seeing that she had not shown any remorse yet, everyone shook their heads and dispersed to avoid being implicated.
She sells her own daughter without hesitation and cannot stand her son suffering even the slightest bit of hardship. Where can you find such a mother in this world?

Li Yang returned home and closed the yard door. His originally straight spine collapsed in an instant, and his calm face was replaced by a look of worry.
She walked towards the main room with heavy steps, poured herself a cup of hot water, and holding the steaming cup, her heart seemed to warm up a little.
Every step she has taken since her rebirth is what she always wanted to do but didn't dare to do in her previous life. She feels gratified for encouraging herself for being brave, but also sad for being born in such a family.
She asked herself, as long as she was alive, would she have to fight Feng Mei and the Li family forever?
Is it because the people you are rebelling against are your closest relatives, that this road is destined to be particularly difficult?
Her fingers accidentally touched the passbook in her pocket, and her troubled heart suddenly calmed down.
In life, it is common for parents, brothers and sisters to fall out with each other over money. Now she is restricted and cautious in every way. Isn’t it because she has no capital to rely on?
But if...
She touched her left eye and her gaze became deep.
If she becomes strong, she will no longer be afraid of anyone and can repay Ji Huaizhi's kindness.
Since God gave her a left eye that can peek into treasures, she must make good use of it so that her death will not be in vain.

In the evening, Li Yang heard someone knocking on the door outside. When he listened carefully, he found that it was a young man with a slightly hoarse voice.
Li Yang walked over, opened the door, and found that it was Chen Gang.
Chen Gang was standing outside the door. When he saw Li Yang, he rubbed his hands shyly: "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, the boss asked me to come and pick you up for dinner."
Yesterday, his sister was still muttering that Ji Huaizhi married Li Yang without any ceremony, but today he said he would treat everyone to a meal.
It seems that Ji Huaizhi doesn't care about anything, but he hasn't encountered anything that makes him care.
No wonder he was taken to collect debts every day for the past two days. It turned out that he was collecting the money for his wife.
Chen Gang had also grown up in the hunting village, so Li Yang naturally recognized him. He politely invited him to come in and sit down. Chen Gang repeatedly declined, but Li Yang didn't force him, saying, "Then wait a moment."
She had not originally planned to wear the clothes that Ji Huaizhi bought for her so soon, but since they were going out to eat and there seemed to be other people around, she naturally didn't want to embarrass him too much.
But since she had just had a falling out with Feng Mei during the day, she naturally couldn't wear anything too bright, so as not to attract gossip again.
So, she wore a pair of light grey trousers and a white high-necked top with upright sleeves. There was only a small round mirror hanging on the wall at home for combing hair, so she couldn't see her whole body. Li Yang just thought that her outfit was acceptable.
Chen Gang led Li Yang to the place where they were having dinner, and spoke to her very warmly along the way. His casual and enthusiastic attitude made it seem like he could treat anyone as a brother at any time, which was completely different from his usual fierce attitude towards strangers.
Li Yang walked behind him, looking at Chen Gang's shiny hair, the shirt and trousers he rarely wore, and a pair of green flip-flops on his feet. His eyes twitched uncontrollably.
She remembered that Chen Gang's eldest sister worked in a department store and probably didn't know why her brother was dressed like this.
The two walked towards the bustling streets of Yangcheng and stopped in front of a restaurant.
Chen Gang said: "Sister-in-law, this is it."
Li Yang looked up at the plaque. Fulinmen Restaurant was one of the best restaurants in Guangzhou, and the prices were extremely high-end.
She subconsciously touched the money in her pocket.
She took out a total of two hundred yuan, which should be enough to pay, right?
The restaurant waiter came forward, asked which private room they were in, and then led the two upstairs.
Before I even entered the door, I heard people talking inside, and it seemed that there were also young girls laughing.
Without thinking much, Chen Gang pushed the door open and saw a young girl dressed fashionably standing next to Ji Huaizhi, talking to him.
