670 Let Me Listen Too

Good news did not travel far, but bad news spread far and wide.

This matter quickly caused an uproar. Everyone knew that Li Gui had used a knife to drive Old Madam Li crazy. Some people even said that Li Gui had killed Old Madam Li!

Seeing that more people started gathering around, Sun Ying pointed at Li Gui and shouted towards the crowd, “Everyone, come and be the judge! My mother-in-law was almost killed by this woman! How can a daughter behave like this! She actually used a knife to threaten our mother and even snatched our mother’s money! The old lady is so traumatized that she can’t even control her bodily functions now! What should we do!”

The neighbors had all seen Old Madam Li before. They had more or less heard about her. Although she was a bad person, she did not do anything to deserve getting killed.

Gradually, everyone believed what Sun Ying said and started criticizing Li Gui for being heartless. No matter how badly Old Madam Li treated Li Gui, she was still the one who gave Li Gui life. How could Li Gui point a knife at her?

“Now that we want to take back our mother’s money, she won’t give it to us. Our mother is already so sick and doesn’t even have any money to pay for treatment! This woman is still acting like a tyrant here. When she hears us asking her for money, she pretends to be weak and lies to us that she doesn’t have money,” Sun Ying said angrily.

Wang Qin shouted from the back of the crowd, “That’s right! How can a daughter be like this! When her mother doesn’t have money, she can still use a knife to threaten her mother. Does that mean that the day when her mother can’t fork out any money, she will kill her mother!”

When everyone heard this, they became even angrier. This was simply too inhumane!

“Li Gui, just take out that money and give it to your brother and sister-in-law. Do you feel comfortable spending such black-hearted money!” the neighbor said.

“Quickly hand it over! Otherwise, we’ll get the village chief to deal with you!” another villager said.

Li Gui leaned weakly in Auntie Dong’s arms. Not so long ago, these people were still very polite to her and even said that they wanted to help her redo the beams and columns of her house

Yet, at the current moment, everyone was simply criticizing and scolding her indiscriminately.

“Oh, everyone’s here. You seem to be having a good time scolding her. Should I join in?” Qiao Mei slowly walked over.

Wang Qin quietly hid at the side of the crowd to avoid being discovered by Qiao Mei. It was not easy for her to find an opportunity to teach Li Gui a lesson, but she did not expect Qiao Mei to still come and back Li Gui up.

She thought everyone said that Qiao Mei had cut ties with Li Gui? Why were they still hand in glove now?

Sun Ying sized up the newcomer from head to toe. She had seen Qiao Mei a few times when she was young, but she did not have much of an impression left. Later on, she had only heard from Old Madam Li that Qiao Mei had grown up to be a fatty who weighed almost 300 pounds, and that she did not inherit Li Gui’s beauty or Qiao Yue’s heroic spiritedness at all. She was like a bear spirit with a very unruly and domineering temper.

The young lady in front of her did not look like a villager. Although she was pregnant, it was not difficult to tell that she was a great beauty before that. Now that she was pregnant, she had another kind of charm about her.

“Who are you? Why are you interfering in our family’s matters! Furthermore, you’re pregnant. Don’t blame our family later if something happens!” Sun Ying said warily.

Qiao Mei grinned at Sun Ying and said, “But I’m Qiao Mei. Based on seniority, I have to call you second aunt-in-law!”

Sun Ying widened her eyes and looked at Qiao Mei in shock. Even Li Xiong could not believe that the person in front of him was Qiao Mei. She looked like a completely different person!

Even if she had cut off all that flesh on her body, it was impossible to become so beautiful.

Sun Ying was not in a hurry to speak. She immediately saw the bangle that Qiao Mei had hidden behind her sleeve. Only rich people would wear things like bangles. Ordinary people would not even own such good things, let alone people in a remote village.

It seemed that what she heard was true. Qiao Mei really had money now. It seemed that they were going to be rich today!

“Qiao Mei! You’re all grown up! I can’t recognize you at all. I must be blind. Since you’re pregnant, just go back. Don’t get affected by the matter between your mother and your grandmother. Let us deal with it,” Sun Ying said obsequiously.

It was really different when one was rich. Back then, when Qiao Mei went to their house to ask for a meal, she would be scolded for being a stinky beggar. They would put her food on a dog’s plate and let her eat with the dogs.

They did not remember these things anymore, but Qiao Mei remembered everything and would never forget it for the rest of her life.
