"My son died and left behind money that his parents also have a share of. Why don't you take it all out quickly!"
The villagers had seen many strange things, but this was the first time they had seen something so despicable.
The two elders of the Xie family have now incurred public wrath.
"You even want the money of an orphan and a widow. Do you still have any shame?"
"That pension is for Lanqing and Yanbei's living expenses. It's lucky they didn't ask you two for money, how dare you still think about it!"
"Don't be afraid, Lanqing. Everyone is watching here. The village chief and Director Wan are here too. We'll make the decision for you. That pension can only belong to you and your mother. If anyone outside dares to touch a penny of it, we'll be the first to disagree!"
Ye Lanqing's eyes were hot and he felt extremely moved.
"Thank you everyone."
Seeing that they were about to be hung up and scolded by the emotional villagers, the two elders of the Xie family were so scared that they quickly changed their words.
"Lan Qing is so sick she's confused and doesn't remember anything. Her memory is terrible, and Yan Bei has a disabled leg. Aren't we just being kind and helping keep her safe?"
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.
The villagers were all amused by the two old men's lies.
Old Mrs. Xie didn't feel guilty at all and continued to argue.
"Lan Qing has a bad memory. She made a mistake. The things about owing money and bills are all fake. She was just sick and confused and said that!"
When Ji Qingzhou came out of the yard, he happened to hear these words.
She sneered in her heart, but kept an innocent look on her face.
"How could that be? I just found the IOUs written by my eldest uncle and third uncle in the house. They even signed them."
Immediately, a villager who recognized the words and was eager to watch the fun took it and read out the content aloud.
"Mrs. Xie, this has your son's signature and fingerprints. You can't make excuses now."
The people around sighed for a while after hearing this, and couldn't help but complain about Yin and Yang.
"Even with so many strong laborers in my family, we may not be able to earn this much money in a year. I'm afraid that the Lanqing family's income in recent years has been swindled away by these extreme relatives."
"They're not grandparents, they're more like vampires."
It was the first time that Old Mrs. Xie and Old Man Xie were pointed at and criticized by so many people. They were so embarrassed that they exploded with anger.
"We don't need outsiders like you to meddle in our family affairs!"
Unlike their manic looks, Ji Qingzhou frowned, looking weak and pitiful like a sick Xi Shi, which was extremely irritating and gave them a heart attack.
"It's true that my uncle and third uncle's handwriting are on this IOU, but I don't recognize their handwriting either."
Ji Qingzhou took the IOU back and held it up to examine it seriously.
"The signature and fingerprints on it shouldn't be forged, right?"
With the intelligence of Old Man Xie and Old Lady Xie, they had no idea that Ji Qingzhou was setting a trap for them.
As soon as they heard there was a chance to clear their names, they jumped on the opportunity to move up.
"That's right. It's obvious that this handwriting is not written by my son."
"Maybe someone in the village is jealous of our good life and is deliberately trying to frame us!"
Xie Tianrui and Xie Peng's faces turned dark, but it was too late to stop it.
"No matter how poor the villagers are, they won't be jealous of the money you earn unscrupulously."
The village chief walked forward with his hands behind his back, looking very unhappy.
"Besides, neither of you can read. How do you know this isn't your son's signature?"
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
Old Mrs. Xie's face was burning, but she still wanted to argue.
"So what if he can't read? Whether it's my son who wrote it or not is up to me, his mother, to decide."
So stupid and evil!
The village chief shook his head speechlessly. Fortunately, Ji Zhiqing reminded them to prepare the evidence first.
Seeing that they were determined not to give up, the village chief took out the documents he had prepared in advance.
"This document was signed during the village's general survey. The entire village participated. We saw with our own eyes the signatures of Xie Tianrui and Xie Peng. They are exactly the same as on this IOU. You can't argue with me, right?"
Only these two shameless old guys would be stupid enough to come to their door without any preparation.
Old Mrs. Xie had no way to argue, she collapsed on the ground and slapped her thigh in anger!
It was too late to realize she had fallen into a trap. She could only grit her teeth and hate Ji Qingzhou, a city dweller.
By now, it was a foregone conclusion that the Xie family bullied their second son’s wife.
The villagers didn't pay much attention to it before, but when they brought up old issues today, they realized that they had gone so far.
Everyone condemned them and wanted to drown them with spit.
Ye Lanqing stared at these people with excited expressions, knowing that they were all seeking justice for him.
She felt extremely happy. For the first time, she realized that as a daughter-in-law, she could stand up and bravely resist the oppression of her in-laws.
The hideous faces deep in my memory gradually faded away, replaced by a deep sense of relief.
The pent-up anger in his heart was relieved, and Ye Lanqing couldn't help but smile with the corners of his lips curled up.
As a person, we should still do as Ji Qingzhou said.
Her daughter-in-law is beautiful and intelligent, and she is steady and smart in doing things.
The more Ye Lanqing understood, the more he admired her, and the more he felt that he was right to listen to his daughter-in-law.
The village chief and Director Wan would not allow such people who corrupted morals to exist in the village, and they scolded Old Man Xie and Old Lady Xie.
"You are so heartless to bully the widow of a martyr like this. If Lan Qing hadn't been kind and didn't report you to the Women's Federation, you would have been in big trouble!"
"The IOU is written in black and white right in front of us, and everyone has witnessed it. You owe the second brother's family so much money, and you still don't pay it back? When will you pay it back?"
Old man and old lady Xie were shameless and were a little embarrassed at first.
Having gotten used to being scolded so many times, they just stand there with their hands in their pockets and an expressionless face, accepting the beatings and scolding as if they couldn't hear anything.
Old Mrs. Xie even blew her nose on the ground, smiling playfully.
"You can scold me as much as you want. I'm not in good health. If I get sick from being scolded, I'll go to your house and eat your food!"
In short, it is absolutely impossible to pay back the money and tickets.
Both the village chief and Director Wan have been educated, and are usually surrounded by reasonable people.
This is the first time I've encountered someone so unafraid of boiling water that I'm so angry that my liver hurts.
"I've never seen such an unreasonable person..."
"Village Chief, Director Wan, there's no need to get angry over such a small matter. It's not worth it."
Ji Qingzhou comforted them softly, feeling very sorry for everyone's breasts.
"If we can't solve it, we can just contact the police!"
