Just like that, Li Juan stayed for a while, thinking the matter was settled. But to her surprise, her in-laws showed up a few days later.
“You two cursed women inside, get out here!”
Li Mei and her sister were chatting on the kang when a roar suddenly came from the doorway.
The sisters turned to look, and the smiles on their faces instantly froze, especially Li Juan’s.
She saw her in-laws standing in the yard with ferocious expressions. Behind them stood five or six burly men!
“Cousin, don’t go out, I’ll deal with them!”
Li Juan’s face was pale. After saying this, she hurried out the door.
She was already a burden to her cousin’s family, she couldn’t cause them more trouble!
As Li Juan rushed out anxiously, she had already made up her mind.
“Li Juan, you selfish woman, give me my son’s money back right now!”
Upon seeing Li Juan, her mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, extended her hand and yelled fiercely at her.
“That’s right, that’s the money my son earned with his life, why should you have it!”
Uncle Wang was equally aggressive, his face flushed red, his fists clenched tightly.
“That money isn’t for me, it’s for the child in my belly. Even if you don’t think of me, you should think of the child!”
Seeing her overbearing in-laws, Li Juan retorted angrily.
She knew her in-laws were greedy, but she never expected them to be so greedy!
To get the money, they burned all her medical reports and kicked her out!
Li Juan tightly pursed her lips, gently stroking her still flat stomach.
“Stop talking nonsense! You say you have a child, so you have a child? Let everyone see, your belly is so flat, does it look like you’re pregnant?”
“Exactly! Even if she is, it’s definitely not our cousin’s. Who knows which wild man’s it is!”
Before Li Juan’s in-laws could speak, the burly men behind them started talking.
By this time, Li Mei’s doorway was crowded with onlookers. They whispered amongst themselves, and Li Juan couldn't tell their stance.
Hearing this, Li Mei inside was frantic. She had originally planned to call Er Zhu, but surprisingly, Er Zhu hadn't brought his phone!
“It’s over, everything is over!”
Hearing the argument outside escalating, Li Mei anxiously walked out.
“Alright, you’re not welcome here, so get out!”
As the two argued fiercely, Li Mei’s angry shout instantly silenced the scene.
“Don’t think you’re some kind of saint. You’re only taking Li Juan in for money!”
“You’re a widow and he’s a fool, living together. Don’t think everyone doesn’t know!”
Aunt Wang was stunned. Suddenly remembering something, she pointed at Li Mei’s nose and cursed wildly.
She had heard Li Juan mention once that she had a good cousin, and it must be this one.
Aunt Wang kept scrutinizing Li Mei, a hint of suspicion in her heart.
“Pfft, Er Zhu is the richest man in our village, would he even care about your paltry sum of money?”
Just as Li Mei was about to retort, Sun Er Niang, who was watching, spoke first.
“Exactly, Er Zhu earns hundreds of thousands a day.”
Beside Sun Er Niang, Li Er Shen glanced at Aunt Wang and the others as if they were idiots, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Come on, how can a fool earn so much money? You’re just biased towards people from your own village, don’t think I don’t know!”
“Li Juan, give me the money now, or I’ll make you both pay!”
Old Mrs. Wang said, waving her hand at the burly men behind her. The burly men quickly charged towards Li Mei and Li Juan, a terrifying pressure making the two women retreat step by step!
The villagers naturally wanted to help, but seeing the burly men’s bodies, as strong as oxen, they didn't dare to step forward.
“You’d better not come any closer, or Er Zhu won’t let you off!”
Li Mei, while pulling the terrified Li Juan backward, mustered her courage and threatened.
“That’s hilarious! Threatening us with a fool, do you think we’re as stupid as that fool!”
“He’s just a fool. If he comes back, we’ll deal with him too!”
…
Li Mei’s words didn't make the burly men retreat; instead, they became more arrogant. Seeing the figures drawing closer, the hearts of the two women were in their throats!
“Stop!”
Just as the burly men were about to attack the two women, a cold voice suddenly came from the doorway. The burly men and the others turned their heads and saw a thin man standing at the door.
That man was none other than Er Zhu!
Er Zhu had gone to town on business and realized halfway through that he had forgotten his phone. He had only intended to come back for it, but he witnessed this scene!
How dare they try to hit Li Mei!
Li Mei looked at Er Zhu, who stood with his hands behind his back, her eyes reddening slightly. Her heart instantly settled.
At this moment, Er Zhu seemed like a celestial being descending from the heavens to save her, a terrified mortal!
“Er Zhu, don’t worry about us, you run! You can’t beat them alone!”
Li Mei was about to speak when Li Juan spoke before her.
“These few losers aren’t worth me running.”
Er Zhu curved his lips into a smile, glancing contemptuously at the burly men, his hand already clenched into a fist.
“Idiots!”
The burly men, enraged, roared and charged towards Er Zhu.
“Beat him to death! How dare a fool speak to me like this!”
Aunt Wang, having regained her senses, pointed fiercely at Er Zhu, grinding her teeth as she shouted.
Uncle Wang stood beside her, raising his hands as if cheering for the burly men.
“Cousin, hurry up and tell Er Zhu to run, he’ll get hurt!”
Li Juan, unaware of Er Zhu’s strength, seeing him not run but even speak boldly, grabbed Li Mei’s hand and pleaded.
“It’s okay, Er Zhu won’t get hurt.”
Li Mei saw her cousin’s anxious look and didn’t know how to explain. She hugged Li Juan and comforted her softly.
Although Li Juan found it strange, seeing her cousin’s calm demeanor, she didn’t ask further.
“Ah!”
“It hurts so much!”
“My stomach!”
…
At this moment, screams of pain rang out. Li Juan turned her head, and what she saw shocked her!
Er Zhu held the wrist of one burly man in each hand. The two burly men were bent in a bizarre way, their faces contorted, their foreheads covered in cold sweat!
Another burly man was pinned under Er Zhu’s foot. Although the man struggled, he couldn’t break free!
This…
This was probably a legendary instant kill!
And not just one!
Li Juan stared at the scene in shock, suddenly remembering what the villagers had said earlier.
Er Zhu wasn’t a fool, but the richest young man in Shiliu Village!
Li Juan swallowed in shock, looking at Er Zhu in disbelief. Er Zhu, however, didn’t look at her.
