Chapter 115 Liu Mingyu Gets Dumped
After being discharged from the hospital, Miao Feifei did not return to Qinjiagou. Instead, she went to find Shi Lei again, insisting that Shi Lei had someone knock her unconscious and take the money.
Shi Lei naturally denied it, and the two started arguing. Miao Feifei threatened Shi Lei again, saying that if he didn't return the money, she would report him to the police.
Shi Lei was so angry he wanted to strangle her, but reason stopped him. In the end, Shi Lei only promised Miao Feifei that he would help her find the person who hit her and the lost money.
Miao Feifei disagreed, saying that she was injured and needed to pay more.
Shi Lei also objected, and the two couldn't reach an agreement, so they parted on bad terms.
Miao Feifei returned to the educated youth compound, and Qin Xiaoxiao was momentarily surprised to see her walk in unharmed.
Holy crap! She's truly God's favorite daughter; despite being beaten like that, she had no aftereffects and was discharged from the hospital just like that.
If this happened to an ordinary person, it would at least result in a concussion!
Miao Feifei was in a fit of anger and went straight back to her room, so she didn't see the shocked expression on Qin Xiaoxiao's face when she looked at her.
Miao Feifei didn't see it, but the Su sisters did.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Qin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze, smiled, and then leaned closer to the two of them and whispered, "Miao Feifei's pants are torn, and I don't know where she went."
Su Yun was taken aback and turned to look at Miao Feifei's room.
Of course, she didn't see anything, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao suspiciously, "Really? How come I didn't see anything?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smirk, "Really, I saw it clearly. The clothes were dirty, didn't you guys notice?"
Su Yu nodded. "I didn't see it."
Just then, a woman's voice came from behind, "I saw it, her pants are indeed torn, right on her right calf. I don't know where she rolled off to."
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that it was Ding Zhiqing speaking, with Liu Meijuan standing next to her.
Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't familiar with Ding Zhiqing, but she had a good relationship with Liu Meijuan, so she smiled at Liu Meijuan.
Ding Zhiqing didn't mind that Qin Xiaoxiao ignored her, and sat down next to Su Yu as if they were old friends.
Seeing this, Liu Meijuan also sat down next to Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked around, scratching her head.
Hey, we're not close. People who don't even exchange a single word in a month are sitting together. Don't you guys feel awkward?
Ding Zhiqing didn't seem to treat Qin Xiaoxiao as an outsider. After sitting down, he started gossiping about the villagers.
Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Well, gossip is the best way to break the ice.
Qin Xiaoxiao sat still and listened attentively to the gossip, nodding or shaking her head as Ding Zhiqing talked, which aroused Ding Zhiqing's desire to talk as well.
"Old Zhang's father-in-law and his eldest daughter-in-law from the south of the village have been sent to the farm. I heard they were sentenced to thirty years. They probably won't be coming back for the rest of their lives."
Mrs. Zhang is back. She immediately divided the household expenses between her two sons, and I heard it was quite fair—half to each son. She'll live alone for now, but when she gets old and can't move around much, she'll stay with each family for six months at a time, and no one can avoid her.
Ding Zhiqing provided the latest news about the Zhang family, but this news was already outdated to Qin Xiaoxiao because yesterday, after Mrs. Zhang returned home, she didn't even go home. Instead, she went to Qin Feng and asked him to decide on the division of the family property. Qin Xiaoxiao happened to be there at the time.
She originally wanted to go with them to see the family division, but her grandmother's gaze stopped her in her tracks.
"Why are you meddling? Aren't you afraid of getting dirty?"
Although Old Mrs. Qin sympathized with Mrs. Zhang, Old Mr. Zhang's actions disgusted her. Just thinking about what Old Mr. Zhang had done behind his wife's back and to his eldest daughter-in-law's back in their house made Old Mrs. Qin feel disgusted, and she didn't want Qin Xiaoxiao to go there.
Qin Xiaoxiao listened obediently and sat quietly to help with the fire, watching her grandmother prepare delicious food.
Liu Meijuan then spoke as well.
"Liu Mingyu, the scorekeeper, I heard he broke up with his girlfriend."
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then turned to look at Liu Meijuan, "How did you know?"
She and Aunt Liu had such a good relationship, how could she not know? Where did Liu Meijuan hear that from?
Liu Meijuan laughed and said, "His girlfriend is from Gaojiazhuang. One of my classmates was sent to work in the countryside in Gaojiazhuang. I went to visit my classmate yesterday and heard about her from her."
After listening, Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something. "Then Aunt Liu must be very sad, no, very angry."
According to Aunt Liu, she was quite satisfied with Liu Mingyu's boyfriend and spent a lot of money on her after they got engaged. Now that they have broken up, that money is definitely gone.
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao had guessed, Aunt Liu was really angry. Not only was she angry, but she was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed. She covered her forehead with a towel and ordered Liu Mingyu to go to the Yu family to ask for money.
"Go and tell her to return the money. She needs to return the engagement money and the money she spent on gifts over the past two years."
Liu Mingyu sat on a chair on the ground with his head down and didn't say anything. Liu Laogen glanced at his son and said, "Your mother is right. We have to get this money back. She's not even married into our family anymore, so why should she still take our money?"
Liu Mingyu nodded. "I'll go tomorrow."
The engagement money must be returned, but the money spent on clothes and food for his partner over the past two years is probably not going to be recovered.
Aunt Liu covered her head and kept crying out "Ouch, ouch," clearly furious.
Liu Laogen was worried about his wife, so he took his son and went to the village to borrow an oxcart to take her to the hospital.
Aunt Liu slapped the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), "What nonsense! I'm fine, why waste money like that? I'm just angry at the Yu family, they're such awful people. They were getting along so well, why did they have to disagree?"
The engagement was already set, and the couple was supposed to move in after the autumn harvest, but now they're breaking it off without even a reason. It's just too unfair.
Liu Mingyu didn't say anything. He was also upset. His girlfriend broke up with him without even a reason. Was she looking down on him or was there something wrong here?
The thought of not seeing his girlfriend at Lao Yu's house, and that it was her mother who said she didn't agree to his relationship with her, made Liu Mingyu start to have doubts.
Could this not be her girlfriend's idea? Or is it that her mother forced her to do it?
Liu Mingyu decided to ask his girlfriend properly when he went tomorrow, and he had to meet her in person and hear her say that she disagreed before he would agree.
Even if he gets dumped, he needs to know why. He'd have to be out of his mind to agree to a breakup without any reason.
After the temporary gossip squad disbanded, Qin Xiaoxiao went to visit Aunt Liu at Liu Mingyu's house before it got completely dark.
As soon as Qin Xiaoxiao entered the door, she was shocked by Aunt Liu, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with red and swollen eyes and looked like she was on the verge of death.
"Auntie, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"
Aunt Liu opened her eyes and saw Qin Xiaoxiao. Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't hold back her tears and grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Little Xiao, your aunt has such a hard life!"
Aunt Liu vented her anger, cursing the Yu family from their ancestors for eight generations to their one-year-old baby, from men to women, from the old to the young, without sparing anyone. She cursed for a full hour without repeating herself, leaving Qin Xiaoxiao speechless.
