Chapter 18 Remittance slip for allowance received
Lin Yuexi clapped her hands and said, “Captain, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you, although my mother passed away when I was young, my grandparents are still alive. My grandfather was a traveling who was proficient in all eighteen martial arts. My grandmother was a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
They both saw me being bullied in the Lin family and took turns teaching me martial arts and medicine. If they hadn’t died of illness later, I wouldn’t have married into the Lu family…” Captain Li and Old Man Lu were reminded by Lin Yuexi’s words that her grandparents were indeed prominent figures in the surrounding villages twenty years ago. They couldn’t understand why they would marry their daughter to a scoundrel like Lin Fugui.
However, it seemed that Lin Yuexi had inherited their skills and was a worthy successor. The reason why Lin Yuexi mentioned this was because the original owner’s memory included these grandparents. They had also come to find her and wanted to take her away, but Lin Fugui refused to let her go. In desperation, they had to give up.
Fortunately, the elderly couple were eager to see their daughter and would secretly visit their granddaughter whenever they had time. Seeing that the child was being mistreated and became thin and weak, they felt pity and decided to teach her some skills to protect herself, so that even if she had no one to rely on in the future, she could still protect herself. Therefore, over the years, her grandfather patiently taught her self-defense techniques, while her grandmother shared her accumulated knowledge of medicine.
Unfortunately, the original owner was timid and her mind was constantly preoccupied with household chores. Despite the elderly couple’s best efforts, she couldn’t learn anything. Time passed quietly, and the elderly couple’s hopes gradually faded with each disappointment. As they grew older, their energy declined.
Looking at their still naive granddaughter, they felt helpless and could only sigh and give up on their strict teaching plans. Instead, they tried their best to ensure she had food and clothing, and they would send her food every few days, as if they were trying to create a small piece of warmth for her. Later, her grandparents passed away one after another, and the only protection she had in the world was gone.
The original owner was completely trapped in the endless torment of her stepmother, Li Sanru, and suffered bitterly. Now that Lin Yuexi had taken over her body, she knew about this past and finally understood why she knew martial arts and medicine. She now had a reason for her actions. Seeing the three people in the room suddenly realize the truth, Lin Yuexi continued, “Captain, father-in-law, I have swallowed all the bitterness of the past, but in the future, no one can manipulate me and my child at will.
” She turned slightly and looked at Lu Jian Guo, who was still groaning on the ground in pain, “Brother, you have seen my skills today. If you dare to scold me again, or if you dare to have any ulterior motives, don’t blame me for not considering our family ties.” Old Man Lu was filled with remorse and stepped forward, waving his hands repeatedly, “Yuexi, it’s our Lu family that has wronged you. Your eldest brother is a scoundrel, and I am also at fault for not disciplining him properly. We will agree to all your conditions.
As long as you can calm down, the Lu family will definitely provide you and your child with a stable life in the future.” Captain Li also came to his senses, coughed lightly, and said solemnly, “Lu Jian Guo, what you did today is outrageous! Since the third wife has such skills and is in the right, you should stop making trouble. You must abide by the agreement from now on. If you cause any more trouble, I will punish you according to the rules.
” Lu Jian Guo had truly witnessed Lin Yuexi’s power and his arrogance instantly vanished. He whispered to Captain Li, “Captain Li, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. I will definitely abide by the agreement from now on and will not harass the third wife. I just beg you to forgive us and not send us to the labor camp…” Captain Li said, “I don’t have the final say. You have to ask your third wife for forgiveness!”
Sweat quickly appeared on Lu Jian Guo’s forehead. He didn’t know if it was from the pain of Lin Yuexi’s kick or from the fear of being sent to the farm labor camp. His voice trembled with a crying tone, “Third wife, I was a scoundrel. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me. I apologize to you. Please don’t send us to the labor camp! Please have mercy on us. What will happen to our parents and Wei’er if we go?” Lin Yuexi didn’t say anything, but stretched out her hand and said, “Bring it here…” “What…” The three of them were stunned. “Lu Cheng’s allowance remittance slip…”
Lu Jian Guo thought, “Damn it, I just received the remittance slip yesterday. I was planning to go to the post office in town to collect it today. How did Lin Yuexi know about it? He was planning to deceive Lin Yuexi into forgiving Li Xiuyin and then go to the post office to collect the money himself.” He didn’t know that although the original owner was weak, she still remembered the day Lu Cheng sent his allowance.
Moreover, Wang Lijuan had already told her that Lu Cheng’s allowance remittance slip was always collected by Lu Jian Guo at the post office. He just didn’t know that this trick would be exposed today! Lu Jian Guo’s face instantly turned pale. He thought to himself, how could Lin Yuexi be so smart? She even knew about the remittance slip. He was reluctant and clenched his hands tightly in his pockets.
His body trembled slightly. He was afraid of really angering Lin Yuexi and being sent to the labor camp, but he couldn’t bear to part with the money that was about to be in his hands. Seeing him hesitate, Lin Yuexi’s eyebrows furrowed and her eyes were sharp as a knife, “Lu Jian Guo, don’t force me to take action. You know I have no patience now. This remittance slip should have been my and my child’s life-saving money. You have been holding it for so long, it’s time to give it back.” Seeing this, Old Man Lu rushed forward and pushed Lu Jian Guo, urging him, “Quickly give the remittance slip to Yuexi!
Do you want to be sent to the farm labor camp?” Lu Jian Guo gritted his teeth, glared at Lin Yuexi angrily, and reluctantly took out the remittance slip from his pocket. He handed it to Lin Yuexi as if he were giving up a piece of his heart.
He even deliberately used force, trying to throw the slip in her face. Lin Yuexi was quick and caught it firmly. A cold smile appeared on her lips, “Brother, don’t play these tricks anymore. I’m watching you.” With the remittance slip in hand, Lin Yuexi finally felt a sense of relief. She turned to Captain Li and said, “Captain, thank you for upholding justice today.
I don’t want to make things too difficult for the Lu family. After all, the child is still young, and we will see each other often. As long as they keep their promise, I can put the past grievances aside for now.” Captain Li nodded slightly, “Third wife, it’s best if you can think this way. If Lu Jian Guo acts up again, you can come to me. We can’t let evil winds and evil spirits run rampant in this village.” As they walked out of the village office, the sunlight fell on Lin Yuexi, but she didn’t feel much warmth.
She knew that the road ahead would still be full of thorns. Although Lu Jian Guo had temporarily submitted, he might still harbor some ill intentions. Her mother-in-law, Liu Cuifang, and her sister-in-law, Li Xiuyin, had suffered a great loss at her hands this time, and they might be filled with resentment towards her.
