Chapter 18 : Where does the meat for every meal in your family come from?

It’s Li Xueqiu’s mother!

Su Ranran guessed that they would come to the door.

After all, in the dream, their family is famous for being protective of their children. It’s not an exaggeration to say they love their daughter (sister) without hesitation.

Now that Li Xueqiu has been wronged, shouldn’t they help her restore her dignity quickly? But she didn’t expect them to come so quickly.

“What’s going on?”

Almost as soon as Liu Guimei shouted outside, Pan Shuifang rushed out of the house.

“Who’s looking for my daughter-in-law?”

Pan Shuifang said fiercely.

Outside the door, Liu Guimei had her hands on her waist, her face full of anger.

Last night, her daughter had come home in a dusty state. When she asked, she found out that it was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family who had done it.

Li Xueqiu is now the darling of the Li family. Not only can she provide them with meat every day, but she also makes money for them. She is like a hen that lays golden eggs. The whole family wants to worship her. Now that their daughter (sister) has been bullied, isn’t it like stirring up a hornet’s nest for the Li family?

As soon as the sky brightened in the morning, the furious Liu Guimei led her three sons and daughter-in-law to the door. She was determined to seek justice for her daughter.

Seeing the visitors weren’t friendly, Pan Shuifang didn’t dare act carelessly. She called for her husband and two sons to go out.

Before leaving, she also told Su Ranran not to go outside. Before Su Ranran could react, she saw a group of four people rushing toward the door like a gust of wind.

The two sisters-in-law, who were cooking in the kitchen, also heard the commotion. Gao Fangxia quickly put the egg soup into a basin, poured another bucket of water into the pot, and called to Xu Huilian, “Huilian, let’s go and take a look.”

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, her aggressive look mirroring that of her mother-in-law. Hearing this, Xu Huilian put down the firewood in her hands and followed her.

Except for Su Ranran, the whole family blocked the door.

Especially the men, who stood like door gods, making it seem like one man guarding the gate could prevent ten thousand men from entering.

As Xu Huilian approached, she saw that all the members of the Li family, big and small, had come. And the mother-in-law stood in the middle of the main gate with a serious face.

“Liu Guimei, what do you want with our eldest daughter-in-law?”

Seeing so many members of the Shen family, Liu Guimei was stunned at first. Then she continued with her hands on her hips, angrily saying:

“Go and ask your daughter-in-law what good things she has done. We’re all from the same village, how dare she frame my daughter? If my Xueqiu didn’t have connections, who knows where she would be now?”

The more she talked, the angrier Liu Guimei became, her eyes almost spitting fire.

So it was about this matter.

It had spread all over the team last night. Li Xueqiu and Yu Zhengjun had been taken away by the Public Security Bureau.

Yu Zhengjun came back at dusk, and it was said that Li Xueqiu came back even later, in the middle of the night. There were so many eyes on the team, and she had gone to the vegetable field early in the morning to hear all the gossip. But she didn’t expect that this matter would also involve her daughter-in-law.

Although Pan Shuifang rarely quarrels with people in the team, it doesn’t mean she’s afraid of trouble or will let others say whatever they want.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she snorted coldly.

“What does your daughter’s crime have to do with my daughter-in-law? Why don’t I see anyone coming to arrest me?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Guimei was even more furious.

“You are so unreasonable, Pan Shuifang! I tell you, if you don’t hand over your eldest daughter-in-law today, I will smash your house!”

The affluent life over the past year had made the Li family a little arrogant.

They could eat meat at every meal, and eat until they didn’t want to anymore. What did they have? They were all poor, unable to eat meat more than a few times a year. Sometimes, when she threw away unwanted pork bones, she would see someone picking them up like treasures.

In her mind, the whole team should revere their family. Maybe one day, when she was in a good mood, she might bring them some pig’s head meat.

Upon hearing this, Pan Shuifang also became angry.

“If you have the guts, smash it! I’ll have my eldest son go to the county police to deal with it!” Even if the king of heaven came today, no one could touch her eldest daughter-in-law.

Her eldest son had finally had a baby, and she was so protective of her, how could she let anyone get close to her?

Hearing this, Li Dapeng, who was standing beside Liu Guimei, hesitated.

Shen He was a soldier. Although his rank wasn’t clear, he had been in the army for a long time, so it wasn’t surprising that he had connections.

If they really went to the police station, they would be in trouble.

“Guimei, speak more calmly, let’s not get angry right now.”

Li Dapeng tried to advise her gently, and he no longer looked like he was ready to stay out of it. But Liu Guimei looked down on his cowardly demeanor and pushed him aside. She stood up again and threatened once more.

“Do you think I’m afraid? Who doesn’t have connections with the upper echelons? I’ll ask you again, Su Ranran, are you going to hand her over?”

This arrogant and rude behavior directly enraged the Shen family!

“Bah! You, Liu Guimei, do you think you’re so amazing now that you’ve gotten fat? I’ll ask you, where does all the meat in your house come from? Wasn’t your daughter caught in a conspiracy, and now you’re blaming my daughter-in-law?”

Pan Shuifang had long disliked their family. Apart from everything else, the way they carried themselves arrogantly was annoying.

Their house smelled of meat all day long, and she had long felt something was off. But the people in the team were like puppets. As soon as she mentioned the Li family, they would retort that she was just jealous and couldn’t stand others doing well.

In the whole team, how many people hadn’t eaten the meat given by the Li family? Now they had to defend them?

In the past, Pan Shuifang didn’t bother to argue because it wasn’t related to her family. But now, they were bullying her at her doorstep. How could she swallow this anger?

As soon as Pan Shuifang finished speaking, people watching nearby started to talk.

“Hey, don’t tell me, where did the Li family get their meat from?”

Someone muttered.

Now you need a ticket to buy meat. You can’t just buy as much as you want just because you have money.

The amount of meat tickets each person could get each year was fixed.

“Don’t tell me they’re really involved in a conspiracy, right?”

They hadn’t thought much about it before, but now that they thought about it, how had the Li family suddenly improved their life?

Hearing this, others seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

“You’re right, where does the Li family get so much meat to eat?” Not only do they eat meat at every meal, but they also invite all sorts of people who don’t want to work to eat.

How much money must it take to afford that?

Even the landlords in the old society weren’t so arrogant.

Li Xueqiu, who had rushed over, happened to hear these discussions, and her face turned pale. How could this be?

Didn’t she tell them not to come to the Shen family and cause trouble? Why had they come? And why were they suddenly thinking that they were involved in a conspiracy?
