Before even stepping inside, Mu Jiuchun impatiently called out to Granny Zhang through the door.
However, Mu Jiuchun did not hear Granny Zhang's voice.
She went inside and saw Grandma Zhang lying half-reclined on the bed.
Grandma Zhang's complexion was very bad; it was the kind of yellowish color that comes from someone recovering from a long illness and lacking vitality.
Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law followed closely behind and scolded, "What are you yelling about?! Are you afraid the neighbors can't hear you?"
Can we really let this kind of thing happen? We're doing it so secretly, afraid someone will find out and report us to the police station!
Mu Jiuchun said, "I'm just anxious! Li Xiyue harmed me and my niece. I won't let her get away with this! It's either her or me who dies!"
Grandma Zhang lay motionless on the bed. She glanced at Mu Jiuhong and said, "Whether you live or die is none of my business. My family is doing just fine, and I don't want to die!"
Mu Jiuchun was taken aback, pondering Grandma Zhang's words. Grandma Zhang specialized in this kind of work, so the only explanation for her not doing it was that the pay was too low!
She took twenty yuan out of her pocket and placed it on Grandma Zhang's bedside.
She said, "Is this enough?!"
Grandma Zhang didn't even glance at the money. She said, "We usually only help people solve these kinds of problems once. If we can't solve it the first time, we will never do it a second time. That's the rule in our line of work."
Mu Jiuchun didn't understand any of this. She snorted and said, "What industry rules? There are even industries here? You just think the pay is too low? Name your price!"
Grandma Zhang said, "What do you mean there are no rules? Our line of work naturally has its own rules!"
The bottom line for helping others is not to cause trouble for yourself, and I was struck by lightning the moment I helped someone just once.
My arms and legs aren't fully healed yet, and to be honest, my grandson is still so young. I'm looking forward to seeing him get married and holding my great-grandson. It's not worth risking my old life for someone else!
Mu Jiuchun's lips twitched slightly. It seemed that things were more complicated than she had imagined. Could it really not be about money?
Her gaze shifted, and she became anxious. She said, "I know you are also taking a risk. Regardless of whether you were struck by lightning because of this, I should come and see you!"
"How about this, you get rid of Li Xiyue for me, and I'll give you two thousand yuan!"
Two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in this day and age!
After all, there weren't many people with ten thousand yuan in those days.
Upon hearing the amount of two thousand yuan, Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up.
She leaned closer to Grandma Zhang and said, "Mom, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Why don't you give them some advice?"
Grandma Zhang glared at her daughter-in-law and said fiercely, "You've got your eye on those two thousand yuan, haven't you?! I'm afraid you'll earn the money but not live to spend it!"
This isn't about money anymore; I can't handle this. I don't have that kind of influence!
Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law was scolded by her mother-in-law. She secretly rolled her eyes. Two thousand yuan! She didn't do anything wrong. Of course, it was for the money!
The room fell silent; none of the three spoke.
Mu Jiuchun stood there in a daze. When she came here, she had imagined all sorts of scenarios to kill Li Xiyue, but now Granny Zhang didn't care at all!
Her legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face. "Is our family going to be bullied to death by her?!"
She ruined me, ruined my life! If it were a matter of life and death, I'd take her with me, even if it meant my own demise!
Grandma Zhang glanced sideways at Mu Jiuchun and asked leisurely, "If it really meant taking your life with her, would you dare to do it?"
Mu Jiuchun was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded vigorously and said, "I dare! I've been ruined by her, and I didn't want to live anymore."
"If I could drag her down with me, I'd take her down with me. I'd rather die than let her suffer!"
As she finished speaking, a metallic taste filled her throat, and she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Thinking about how she had been harmed by that scoundrel, she felt pain in her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. What would happen to her niece in the future?
This incident will definitely affect Li Yan's future employment!
Grandma Zhang's eyes darted around, and she said, "I don't need your two thousand yuan. My arms and legs were broken because I was helping your family. I don't have a job, so I can't get free medical treatment. Just give me 200 yuan for treatment."
As soon as she finished speaking, her daughter-in-law immediately picked up the stack of money, counted out two hundred yuan, put it in her own pocket, and handed the rest of the money to Mu Jiuchun.
She stared longingly at the large stack of money, her eyes filled with envy. Two hundred was better than nothing!
Mu Jiuchun put the remaining money into his purse.
She leaned closer to Grandma Zhang and asked, "Please tell me quickly, what's the solution?!"
Grandma Zhang said, "That girl has a lot of yin energy on her, and she has a grudge against your family. Either you or she will die."
However, things from the underworld have difficulty traveling by water. If you really want to drag her down with you, then take her into the water. Think it through, though; this is a lose-lose situation.
Don't blame me for not warning you, things could go wrong and you might die while she's fine.
Mu Jiuchun slowly nodded, and said fiercely, "I will never let her go, even if it means my death!"
After she finished speaking, she got up from the ground and walked out of Grandma Zhang's room without looking back.
Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law felt a chill run down her spine. She shrank her neck and asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, is that Li Xiyue really from the underworld? Is Mu Jiuhong really going to drag her down with her?"
Grandma Zhang said, "That girl's fate is extremely yin and yang, a very ominous birth chart. Mu Jiuchun is oblivious to his own folly, trying to harm Li Xiyue; he's asking for trouble!"
Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law asked, "Is she definitely going to die? Why don't you try to persuade her?"
Grandma Zhang said, "You can't reason with a damned ghost! Besides, if she really manages to drag Li Xiyue down with her, it'll be a good thing for me. Don't mention this again!"
She let out a long breath. If Li Xiyue were gone, she wouldn't have to live in constant fear that another bolt of lightning would strike and kill her!
Mu Jiuchun rode her bicycle back home, and sure enough, her mother had already returned from grocery shopping.
Li Xiulan was sitting in the yard picking vegetables when she saw her daughter pushing her bicycle in. She asked, "Where have you been?"
Mu Jiuchun said, "I went to work, but halfway there I remembered I was off today, so I came back."
Li Xiulan's face was full of worry. Her daughter and granddaughter had done such a thing. Although the case hadn't reached their doorstep yet, it was only a matter of time.
I wonder if my neighbors will gossip about me when I go out again tomorrow morning!
She sighed and said, "I just told Aunt Li to find you a husband as soon as possible."
Mu Jiuchun said, "I won't marry him!"
All she could think about was why she didn't want to get married except for Li Xiyue!
