Chen Baiyi shook her head. “I don’t want either option.”

Old Madam Wang was a little anxious and jumped up on the spot. “What do you mean? I didn’t despise you for jinxing your husband and was kind enough to let my brother marry you. Not only are you not grateful, but you even want to go back on your words?”

Chen Baiyi said, “Give me some time. I’ll return the dowry to you.”

Old Madam Wang didn’t agree and wanted to refuse on the spot. However, Chen Baiyi said, “You should deduct my medical fees from the dowry.”

With that, she pointed at the wound on her forehead.

This wound had been washed by Chen Baiyi with clear water. At this moment, it was no longer bleeding, but it looked ghastly. Furthermore, it was on a lady’s face. It was obvious that her face was disfigured.

Old Madam Wang felt a little guilty and muttered, “It wasn’t intentional. It’s your fault for not dodging.”

Chen Baiyi pursed his lips and said with a serious expression, “If you’re not going to take responsibility, I’ll go to the police station to sue you for personal injury. When the police arrest Brother Li later, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I was forced by you.”

Old Madam Wang quickly stopped her and asked, “How much do you want for the medical fees?”

Chen Baiyi thought for a few seconds and said, “200.”

“No, at most 100.” This price exceeded Old Madam Wang’s expectations. She pursed her lips and said mockingly, “200 yuan? Isn’t this highway robbery?”

Chen Baiyi was very determined. “Two hundred. Otherwise, we’ll meet at the police station.”

“How about 150?” Old Madam Wang bargained.

Chen Baiyi shook her head and was about to blurt out the words “police station” again.

Old Madam Wang hurriedly said, “So be it. There is still eight hundred left. You have to return it to me immediately.”

Chen Baiyi said, “I’ll definitely return it to you in half a year at most. Otherwise, I’ll let the entire village know that your chicken farm usually employs children.”

Old Madam Wang was shocked. “How did you know?” Working on a chicken farm was very tiring. A child’s salary was half that of an adult’s. In order to save money, 80% of the workers were not even 14 years old yet.

At this moment, Chen Baiyi had to thank Li Zhimin, who had died early. She replied, “When your good son went out with me, he told me something worth showing off.”

Old Madam Wang gritted her teeth in hatred. She wished she could drag this prodigal out of the coffin and scold him. She panted heavily and stared at Chen Baiyi angrily.

“If this matter isn’t enough for you to give me half a year’s time, then I’ll reveal Li Zhimin’s real cause of death.” Chen Baiyi’s tone sounded casual, but her words made Old Madam Wang surrender.

“What?” Old Madam Wang was shocked and afraid. She said with a trembling voice, “What do you mean? I don’t understand…”

Chen Baiyi sneered. “If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it. You don’t really think you can hide the real cause of Li Zhimin’s death by publicizing that I jinxed him to death, do you?”

Old Madam Wang’s heart suddenly thumped. She couldn’t help but take a step back and look at Chen Baiyi in shock.

Impossible. How did this little girl know how he died? When Li Zhimin died, only the Li family was around. They couldn’t tell anyone.

Looking at the sneering Chen Baiyi, Old Madam Wang swallowed nervously. “What do you want?”

“I just want you to give me half a year,” Chen Baiyi said.

Old Madam Wang nodded. “Alright, half a year it is. I think you can earn back eight hundred yuan in such a short time.”

Then, she turned around and left.
