Chapter 2

The rain outside has stopped, but the sky is still gloomy.

“It’s really outrageous. Even if the Qin family is rich, they can’t just go and ask for money like this. How can her daughter hold her head up high in her husband’s family in the future?”

“We used to live a good life, but now we have no money, we can’t live anymore.”

“Who says it’s not true? I used to eat a lot of meat and fish every day, but now I can’t stand eating porridge and pickles.”

“A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Your short-lived husband must have left a lot of money when he died. And your eldest son who is a soldier also gets a lot of monthly allowance. It’s enough for your family to eat delicious food every day. But you are so shameless that you keep thinking about our Qin family’s money every day. “

“You are shameless!”

“You are a jerk born of a mother but not raised by one. How dare you scold me? Today I will teach you a lesson.”

As she spoke, Mother Qin took two big steps forward and raised her hand to slap Gu Yunyang.

Gu Yunchi quickly protected Gu Yunyang behind him and slapped her in the face, half of her face turned red instantly.

Not being able to hit the person she wanted to hit, Qin’s mother was furious and slapped Gu Yunchi hard again. Seeing her elder sister being slapped twice in a row, an angry Gu Yunyang rushed out from behind Gu Yunchi and slammed into Qin’s mother.

Mother Qin was knocked flat on her back, her body splattered with mud. She wanted to get up and hit Gu Yunyang, but as soon as her buttocks left the ground, she rolled her eyes and sat back down, “Ouch, it hurts so much, my bones are broken!”

“Are you sure it’s a broken bone?”

A cold voice sounded at the door.

Everyone looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Yiyi standing at the door. Her face was flushed due to the fever, her hair was disheveled, and she looked weak. Her eyes were coldly staring at Qin’s mother lying on the ground.

Mother Qin felt a chill in her heart when she was stared at by her. She had seen Jiang Yiyi before. She looked good but had a soft personality. She would not dare to talk back even if she was scolded. But today she seemed like a different person.

“Of course.”

“Yunyang, pull the cart over here and take her to the hospital for a checkup. If her bones are really broken, treat them as needed and we will compensate her. If they are not broken, go directly to the police station and report it to the police. Say someone is blackmailing us.”

As soon as Jiang Yiyi came out, Gu Yunyang looked at her as if she were an enemy. If she hadn’t stolen their mother’s only money, their mother wouldn’t have asked him to go to their eldest sister’s house to borrow money, Qin’s mother wouldn’t have come to the door to scold them, and their eldest sister wouldn’t have been beaten. It was all because of her!

When I heard her words, I didn’t react for a moment and stood there without moving.

“Go quickly!”

Gu Yunyang reacted and turned around to pull the cart. He saw that the old witch’s butt was already off the ground and there was no trace of pain on her face. It was obvious that she wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail their family.

Hearing that she was going to be sent to the police station, Qin’s mother was shocked and wanted to say that she didn’t break any bones, but everyone watching in the yard heard what she said just now. If she said that she didn’t break any bones, wouldn’t it be a slap in her face? How can she face people in the future? But if she didn’t say it, it would be even more embarrassing if the Gu family really sent her to the police station. In a hurry, she cursed at Gu Yunchi, “You blind thing, why don’t you come and help me.”

Gu Yunchi wanted to go forward to help but was stopped by Jiang Yiyi. Gu Yunchi was about to say something when his mother suddenly started coughing violently. Gu Yunchi immediately forgot about Qin’s mother and supported his mother together with Gu Yuncan, who was already trembling with fear.

Seeing Gu Yunyang pulling the cart over, Qin’s mother got up by herself. It was more embarrassing than being sent to the police station. At most, she could take out her anger on Gu Yunchi and give her a good beating when she got back.

“I was in so much pain just now that I thought I had a broken bone. I felt it and it was fine. I don’t have to go to the hospital.”

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Mother Qin’s face flushed, and she wanted to curse a few words, but when she met Jiang Yiyi’s gaze, she swallowed the curse back and stiffened her neck, “Even if my bones are not broken, it is a fact that the little bastard pushed me. What an ungrateful and ungrateful family of bastards.”

“If I remember correctly, it was our family that gave Qin Gang the money for his business, a full 1,000 yuan. Later, he said he wanted to use his connections, and took another 1,000 yuan from our family. He hasn’t paid back a cent until now. Who is the ungrateful one?”

The yard was silent.

“Also, you just said that my family is a burden and often goes to your house to ask for money. Then tell me more specifically, when did my family go to ask for money? How much did they ask for?”

Mother Qin opened her mouth but could not say anything.

Although the Gu family was poor, they had never come to ask for money. Today was the first time she had asked for money. She was afraid that the Gu family was a bottomless pit, so she went to the door to prevent them from asking for money again.

“As you said, my father-in-law left a lot of money after his death, and Yunze also sends money home every month. Our family is not short of money, but the money is all in my hands. Yesterday, I got caught in the rain and had a fever and fell unconscious. My mother was in a hurry and asked me to go to your house to borrow money.”

“So that’s how it is. I said Sister Gu wasn’t someone who liked to take advantage of others. Why would she let her children go to her in-laws to borrow money endlessly?”

“This Qin family is too bullying.”

“Not only is she a bully, she is also ungrateful. She relied on her father-in-law to make her fortune, but after her father-in-law died, not only did she not help him, she even wanted to trample him into the mud. I think anyone who becomes a relative of her family will be unlucky for the rest of his life.”

“Yes, yes, her daughter is old enough to get married. We must spread the word and never marry her daughter.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Didn’t you see how ruthlessly she beat Yun Chi just now? She used such a heavy hand in front of so many people, and she didn’t know how she bullied him behind his back. Her daughter is not much better because of what she has seen and heard.”

Mother Qin’s face turned pale and blue.

Jiang Yiyi looked at Gu Yunchi, “Where’s the money?”

Gu Yunchi hurriedly took out a handful of money from her pocket. There were one dollar notes, two dollar notes, and a five dollar note. There was not even a Zhang Da Tuanjie note. It didn’t look like the money was loaned by the Qin family, but rather like she had saved it herself.

Jiang Yiyi took it and counted it, then waved it towards Qin’s mother, “Except for these fifty, your Qin family still owes us one thousand nine hundred and five. I’m waiting to go to the hospital, please go home and give it back to us.”

Mother Qin naturally didn’t want to pay it back. Although her family claimed to be a millionaire, she knew that they didn’t have that much money. If they took out so much money at once, their house would be empty. But she couldn’t say no in front of everyone, so she angrily scolded Gu Yunchi, “You are a dead man, why don’t you go home and cook.”

“My mother and I both need someone to take care of us, so my eldest sister won’t be going back for now. Please send the money as soon as possible. I have a bad temper, and if you send it too late, I don’t know what I might do.”

Qin’s mother left in disgrace.
