Zhao Dahua sat on the ground and cried heartbreakingly, "You, you black-hearted people, you bastards, what nonsense are you talking about, saying that my uncle Qingli and I abandoned her to the back hill."
"We can't even take care of Qingli in time."
"How could you do such a thing? You must have received money from the old widow of the Zhou family and are here to tell lies."
"Captain, please don't be fooled by them."
When Zhao Dahua first heard the captain say that Shen Qingli was fine, she was slightly heartbroken. But when she heard them say that Shen Qingli was abandoned in the back hill by the couple, she was immediately certain that they were lying.
Their original plan was to let Shen Qingli die in Zhou Yubai's bed, and of course they did so. The cup of spiked water given to Zhou Yubai was actually delivered to him by Shen Qingli herself after she tricked her into doing so.
The old people at the entrance of the village always said that the beauty trap worked. Zhou Yubai drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation.
She had asked the barefoot doctor of the production team for the medicine, which was used for breeding the pigs in the brigade. It was said to be effective, but people who took it would definitely lose their minds and control themselves.
A fierce and uncontrollable man, and a woman who will fall down at the slightest breeze. The sure result is that the woman will be killed and the man will be held responsible!
The couple came together to steal and gain, not only could they swallow up the Zhou family's betrothal gift, they could also force Widow Zhou to give them another sum of money, and get rid of Zhou Yubai at the same time.
Shen Qingli was so beautiful that they were worried that she would whisper in Zhou Yubai's ear and let Zhou Yubai cause trouble for them.
After all, they were not kind to Shen Qingli and her daughter, and could even be described as being cruel.
Zhao Dahua thought over the couple's plan again in her mind, and she felt that she was very smart and it would definitely succeed.
Then he howled at the top of his lungs, "My poor sister, please open your eyes and see, this damn wolf cub killed Qingli!"
"Zhao Dahua, what's the point of just crying here? What on earth do you want to do?" the captain roared.
Seeing that the captain was really angry, Li Qiushuo didn't dare to make trouble anymore and stepped forward to grab Zhao Dahua's arm.
Zhao Dahua and Li Qiushu have been married for so many years, joking and playing naughty together, so naturally they have a tacit understanding, so she stood up.
"Captain, Zhou Yubai killed our Qingli. We want him to pay for her life and money!" Zhao Dahua said, looking like he had been wronged. "We need to repair the grave of our sister. Qingli has to be buried now that she is gone."
"My husband and I don't want anything from Qingli. When we wanted Qingli to get married, we didn't want a penny of the betrothal gift and gave it all to her. The twenty yuan her mother left for her was also given to Qingli." Li Qiushuo added.
He really portrayed himself and Zhao Dahua as benevolent and righteous elders.
Twenty yuan is a huge sum of money in Kaoshantun, where the average person earns less than five yuan a year!
Their family has had a bad reputation in recent years, and as their two sons and two daughters are almost reaching marriageable age, they have to change the villagers' views of them for the sake of their children.
Anyway, the person is dead, they can say whatever they want, and Shen Qingli can't really jump out and ask them for it.
It means a steady profit, Li Qiushuo said with spit flying everywhere, his face showing a mixture of sorrow and excitement, coupled with his wrinkled face, it was really hard to describe the look on his face.
However, Li Qiushuo's thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was that he liked to be slapped in the face.
"I feel relieved now that my uncle said that. Then I would like the captain and the villagers to help bear witness. Zhou Yubai and I will get married today. He will give me the betrothal gift directly. My mother has prepared 20 yuan for me. Please give it to me now."
Shen Qingli walked in front of the crowd, holding the arm of the captain's daughter-in-law.
Li Qiu Shou shuddered with fear.
Zhao Dahua was so frightened that she fell to the ground and yelled, "Oh my god, ghost!"
"Aunt, what the hell is going on?" Shen Qingli looked at Zhao Dahua and showed a "sweet" smile. The smile was grim and inexplicably chilling.
Zhao Dahua shuddered.
"That's right, Zhao Dahua, isn't Qingli okay?"
"How could you scare her like this?"
"Why do you act like a thief with a guilty conscience?"
Zhou Yubai saw Shen Qingli the moment she walked over. He didn't say anything because he was not sure whether what this beautiful and delicate girl said to him was true or false.
Does she really want to live with him, or... just like the people she trusted in the past, she finally chooses to abandon herself.
"Qing, Qingli, you, you are really okay." Li Qiushou was indeed much calmer than Zhao Dahua and he calmed down at this moment.
"Yes, I'm fine, uncle." Shen Qingli walked up to Zhou Yubai and held his big hand with her soft, boneless hand.
Zhou Yubai's heart shook violently, as if something had pulled him out of the darkness.
Such a small and soft girl, yet she stood so powerfully beside her, in a protective posture.
Zhou Yubai's eyes were filled with sadness. He tightened his grip slightly, and the little hand immediately clenched back, as if giving him strength...
Zhou Yubai turned to look at Li Qiushou, "Uncle Li, the matchmaker came to our house for the marriage, and the elders of both sides agreed, so the matter was settled. Qingli and I recognize each other."
"We voluntarily get married." Shen Qingli said solemnly.
"Qingli, don't be impulsive. We need to think carefully about this marriage." Li Qiushuo looked anxious and tried to dissuade her.
Just kidding, if you agree to it at this time, not only will the betrothal gift be gone, but you will also have to pay twenty yuan!
That's twenty dollars!
He had never seen so much money in his life, how could he possibly give it to Shen Qingli.
"Uncle, I have thought it through very clearly." Shen Qingli said with a firm look, "Uncle, you know what you and aunt have done to us. We can find out everything by reporting this to the police."
"Yu Bai and I don't care about what happened before. Now, you should return the money my mother gave me. You are no longer my uncle. We are strangers from now on. Let's forget about this matter."
Shen Qingli spoke slowly. She didn't say it explicitly, but Li Qiushuo and Zhao Dahahua both understood what she meant.
To sum it up in four words: asking for money and breaking off relations.
"Qingli, we are your only relatives. Are you really going to break off the relationship with us just for a little money?" Li Qiushuo said with a sad face, as if he cared a lot about Shen Qingli.
Zhao Dahua hurriedly cooperated, "Qingli, you know how we treated you since you and your mother came to our house."
"Yes, I know. You left all the housework to my mother. You called me a jinx in front of me and behind my back. You also stole the nutrients, fabrics, and money that my mother brought back."
"If you hadn't refused to call a doctor, my mother wouldn't have died."
"Also, you are not only plotting against my marriage, you are also plotting against my death."
"I can see each and every one of them clearly."
Shen Qingli's face turned cold. She didn't want to argue with these two extremely powerful relatives. If they just broke off the ties with her, paid back the money, and then left, she could live in peace for a few more days.
But, they were so ignorant as to force her to settle the score now, so she would settle it carefully!
