Chapter 217 Marrying a Money-Losing Girl to an Old Widow to Get Money
As Tian Tian ran, she turned her head and saw the gaunt woman kick Hu Zi hard in the face! Tears instantly streamed down her face as she stumbled and ran frantically for help, her cries heart-wrenching: "Help! Human traffickers have kidnapped my brother—!"
As Lin Baozhu sat on the oxcart heading home, she heard Tian Tian's cries in the distance, and her heart sank! A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and before the oxcart had come to a complete stop, she leaped to the ground and rushed towards home!
"Sweetie! What happened?" She caught her little niece who was rushing towards her.
"Auntie! Three bad people came to the house! They wanted to capture me and my brother! My brother was beaten to death by that woman! Waaaaah..." Tian Tian cried so hard she could barely breathe.
"Why are you crying like this, Tian Tian? Did Hu Zi bully you? Don't be afraid, Grandma will deal with him when we get back!" Lin's mother hugged her granddaughter with heartache.
Without saying a word, Lin Baozhu stuffed Tiantian into her mother's arms and her figure swept away like a whirlwind towards her own yard.
She rushed into the house, and the sight before her eyes horrified her! Tiger's small body lay limp on the ground, his face covered in blood, one wrist twisted at a grotesque angle, clearly broken! The house was a complete mess! A weasel-faced old woman stood with her hands on her hips, cursing obscenely…
Lin Baozhu felt a surge of overwhelming rage rush to her head! She rushed to Hu Zi's side, quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth, and carefully laid him down. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with icy coldness as she stared intently at the middle-aged woman who was wandering out of the inner room—Lin Meimei.
Without a word! Lin Baozhu took a sudden step forward, her body leaping into the air, and delivered a sharp whip kick that cut through the wind, slamming into Lin Meimei's chest!
"Ah—!" Lin Meimei screamed and flew backward like a tattered sack, crashing heavily to the ground!
"You bitch! How dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am?!" Lin Meimei screamed in shock and anger, clutching her aching chest.
"I don't care who you are! None of you will leave here alive today!" Lin Baozhu's voice was as cold as ice. She took a step forward, grabbed Lin Meimei's uninjured arm, and her five fingers tightened suddenly like iron clamps—"Crack!" A teeth-grinding crisp sound rang out!
"Ahhh—! Mother! Save me! My arm... is ruined!" Lin Meimei's pig-like screams echoed throughout the courtyard.
Old Mrs. Zheng in the courtyard finally snapped out of her shock. Seeing her daughter's miserable state, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. She grabbed a sharp sickle from the wall, silently circled behind Lin Baozhu, and then slashed it hard at the back of her head!
Lin Baozhu seemed to have eyes in the back of her head! In a flash, she suddenly turned to the side, the sickle whistling through her hair as it slashed through the air! Immediately afterward, she spun around and delivered a powerful spinning kick that landed precisely on Granny Zheng's withered chest!
"Ouch!"
Granny Zheng screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, her sickle flying out of her hand.
Lin Baozhu picked up the sickle from the ground expressionlessly and walked step by step toward Granny Zheng, who was cowering on the ground in terror. The cold blade gleamed in the setting sun.
Looking into those murderous eyes, Granny Zheng was terrified and scrambled backward, clattering, "You...you...I'm your own grandmother! You want to kill me?!"
"Grandma?"
Lin Baozhu sneered, her voice as vicious as if it were laced with poison: "Some random old hag thinks she can just pop out and pretend to be my grandmother? My grandmother would never do something so shameless! You hurt my child and ransacked my house, I think you are heartless human traffickers!"
When the old woman said that she was her grandmother, she actually believed it to some extent, but at this moment she was furious and just wanted to vent her anger!
The thought flashed through her mind, and Lin Baozhu dropped the sickle, clenched her fists, and rained blows at Granny Zheng! Each punch was filled with thunderous fury!
Just as Granny Zheng was being beaten so badly that she was screaming and covered in blood, Lin's parents led a large group of villagers who had heard the news and rushed into the courtyard.
When the captain saw the horrific scene on the ground, he was terrified and rushed over to grab Lin Baozhu's arm, which was swinging her fist: "Oh my little darling! Stop it! If you keep hitting her, someone will really die!"
"Captain! You've come at the perfect time!"
Lin Baozhu pointed at the three people on the ground, her voice icy cold: "These three thieves broke into my house while no one was home, injured my nephew, and ransacked the place! I suspect they are thugs roaming the town! They must be tied up and sent to the police station immediately!"
"Sheng, Shengzi... I am your mother..." Granny Zheng, as if grasping at a straw, struggled to reach out her withered hand to grab Lin Gengsheng's trouser leg.
Lin's mother, Guo Cuicui, reacted quickly, pulling her husband behind her and standing in front of him. Looking at his face, which had been beaten so badly that even his own parents wouldn't recognize him, she exclaimed in disbelief, "You're my mother-in-law? Oh dear! You look like this... you really don't resemble a human being at all!"
"Guo Cuicui! You shameless woman! If it weren't for you, how could I have stayed at my daughter's house for so many years?! You still have the nerve to talk nonsense now? Believe me or not, I'll make my son divorce you!" Old Mrs. Zheng screamed and cursed.
"Ha! Don't be ridiculous, old lady!" Lin's mother put her hands on her hips, her voice rising eight octaves, each word piercing the heart. "Back then, you were the one who complained that I had too many babies and was too lazy to take care of me during my postpartum period, so you ran off to be your daughter's slave! All these years you haven't helped a bit, and we still have to send you retirement money every year! What? Today you've brought your good daughter back all the way here, could it be that you heard we received some compensation and she's instigated you to come and extort money from us?" She knew this mother-in-law all too well; she never came to her mother-in-law's place without a reason, either she was after money or she was up to no good!
As Lin Baozhu listened to her mother's rapid-fire words that blocked all of the other party's escape routes, she secretly gave her a thumbs up behind her back.
Old Mrs. Zheng, her true intentions exposed, decided to throw caution to the wind. She scrambled to her feet, hands on her hips, and yelled, "What? It's only right that I come to ask for my retirement money! You live in big houses and eat and drink well, so your support payments should go up! And your sister and brother-in-law too..."
She pointed at Lin Meimei, who was wailing on the ground: "You've served me for so many years, you've done your part, even if you haven't done anything special, you should at least get some compensation for your hard work!"
Lin's mother, Guo Cuicui, laughed angrily: "You're really joking! Go around the village, who doesn't take care of the children and help out, yet just asks for twenty yuan of retirement money? Is your sister-in-law's family so poor they can't even afford to eat? And now you're trying to take our hard-earned money? Money? Not a single penny!"
Old Mrs. Zheng pointed at her swollen face and yelled, "Money aside! Look what your daughter did to me! You have to pay for my medical expenses, lost wages, and nutritional supplements! Otherwise, I'll report you to the Revolutionary Committee for assaulting a member of the public!"
Lin Baozhu picked up the unconscious Hu Zi, her icy gaze sweeping over him: "Go ahead and sue! Let's see who gets handcuffed in the end! You beat my nephew and broke his arm while no one was around, and ransacked the place—" She suddenly raised her voice, "Mother! Quick, check if your hidden money is still there? If it's gone, they stole it!" A cold smile curled her red lips, "Last time, the Revolutionary Committee thieves stole three thousand yuan from my family. We returned the money, but they were all shot!"
"You're spouting nonsense!" Granny Zheng shrieked. "We're just looking for something to eat..."
"Who would believe that?" Lin Baozhu shouted. "Brother Gou Dan! Please go to the county public security bureau and report the truth: three people broke into a house, robbed, and injured someone! The stolen money has probably already been transferred!"
"You're not allowed to go!" Granny Zheng and her daughter screamed in unison.
Old Mrs. Zheng turned to Lin Gengsheng and squeezed out two tears: "Shengzi! You just want to watch your own mother be bullied? I live at your sister's house so as not to be a burden to you! Your brother-in-law may not have done anything great, but he has worked hard! Your eldest nephew is getting married and is waiting for a new house. What's wrong with an uncle contributing some money?"
Looking at his mother's miserable state and then at his seriously injured grandson, Lin Gengsheng stammered, "Mother... the money was earned by the children and their mother... I'm ashamed to touch it... Besides, the third, fourth, and fifth sons aren't married yet. Three thousand yuan sounds like a lot, but it really doesn't last long..."
"Pah!" Granny Zheng's face instantly changed. Pointing at her son's nose, she cursed, "Your bunch of idiots are not worthy of being compared to my grandson!" Her venomous gaze pierced Lin Baozhu. "No money? Marry this money-losing girl off to that old widower in the west village! The dowry is enough to build three houses!"
Hearing what Granny Zheng said, Lin's mother immediately exploded.
