Chapter 242: Mrs. Wang is here
Li Mengyue was very scared before she saw Li Lingling, but her eyes became firm in an instant and she found it very interesting.
In fact, what Li Mengyue didn’t know was that it was only after seeing her that Li Lingling gained the courage and seemed like a different person.
No longer be timid and submissive, just keep avoiding problems when they occur, like an ostrich, burying yourself in the sand and deceiving yourself.
After hearing what Li Lingling said, the surrounding villagers all felt that Liu had it all to herself, and no one sympathized with her.
"Liu's head must have been caught in the door, otherwise why would she say that about Li Lingling?"
"Liu has always been like this. She has Xiang on her mind. Don't you know? What's so strange about this?"
"I really feel sorry for Li Lingling. She has been targeted by Liu. She will not have a good life in the future."
"If you ask me, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Liu is right. Li Lingling brought her three daughters back to the village and ruined the reputation of the village."
"Tsk, what you said is too outrageous. The reputation of our village can be ruined by a woman."
"Li Lingling is so pitiful. How is she going to live with three daughters?"
"You are so funny. You are worrying about Li Lingling. Li Lingling is living a better life than you. She works for the Li family. Not only does she get paid every day, but she also gets to eat delicious food."
"Yes, I heard that the six women who work for the Li family can eat at the Li family every day at noon. Maybe you don't know, the food at the Li family is super delicious. After eating it once, you want to eat it again."
"You've eaten it, why are you exaggerating?"
"I haven't eaten it, but haven't you ever smelled the fragrance wafting from the Li family? That smell is so delicious that it makes you hungry."
When the villagers were whispering about Liu and Li Lingling, Village Chief Li became even more unfriendly to Liu after hearing what his niece said.
Like Li Lingling, Liu gave birth to three daughters. She had a hard life in her husband's family. It would have been fine if she couldn't empathize with others, but she even insisted on exposing other people's scars.
Not to mention that his niece was provoked to take action, he would never stop until he beat Liu to death.
Now that we have figured out what happened, we cannot just stand there and do nothing. We need to handle it however we need to.
"Liu, you were the first to insult Lingling, and Lingling took action later. You are wrong. I will end this matter here."
"No, Village Chief, why are you biased towards Li Lingling? She was the one who pushed me down. My waist still hurts so much. She has to pay for my medical expenses."
"Yes, you should pay for the medical expenses." Suddenly, a sharp and piercing voice, like a blade cutting through glass, came from the crowd, making people feel disgusted.
When Liu heard the voice, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She wanted to say something else, but she just lowered her head and kept silent.
"Mother Liu is here." A villager whispered.
Then, an old woman with triangular eyes, sparse gray hair, and a thin and hunched figure walked up to Liu.
"Village head, Li Lingling injured my daughter-in-law. This matter cannot be let go like this. I, an old woman, will never agree to it."
"Then what do you want?" The village chief asked impatiently when he saw Grandma Liu.
"Let Li Lingling pay five taels of silver for the medical expenses."
"Hiss! Aunt Wang is crazy. She wants five taels of silver."
"Holy crap! I found a way to get rich."
"Get lost! If you do that, you'll be paralyzed."
"Impossible." The village chief heard the villagers whispering and directly refuted the unreasonable request made by Wang Po.
"Why not? Li Lingling, this little slut, has made my daughter-in-law unable to stand up. Who will do the housework, cook the meals, and take care of the crops? She is going to starve my whole family to death. Li Lingling is so vicious."
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she stared at Li Lingling with her small but sharp eyes.
Li Lingling sensed Wang Po's malicious intent and subconsciously looked up. She saw that Wang Po's eyes were like two cold beans. She was so scared that she immediately lowered her head.
When Li Mengyue saw this scene, a playful smile appeared on her lips.
As for Mrs. Wang, seeing that Li Lingling didn't dare to say a word, she felt that Li Lingling was as easy to control as Liu.
Thinking that Li Lingling could earn ten copper coins every day from the Li family, he suddenly felt that Liu's request for five taels of silver was too little, and she should ask for ten taels.
Then he became more and more displeased with Liu, and did not even dare to ask for money. He held Liu's hand and secretly exerted force where no one could see.
The moment her mother-in-law came, Liu was already frightened silly.
However, the sudden pain in her body brought her back to her senses immediately and she wanted to scream out loudly.
But the increasing strength of her mother-in-law's hands reminded her that it was better not to howl, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Mrs. Wang knew how much force she had used. Seeing that Liu didn't dare to say anything, she was satisfied and let go of her hands.
But now is the time, she can't deal with Liu, she has more important things to do.
"Village chief, everyone in the village knows that my family cannot afford to lose Liu. Li Lingling has made Liu unable to move. Five taels of silver is not enough to save her. I don't think Liu's back will be healed without ten taels of silver."
"Wow, I was shocked by Liu's shamelessness, and Wang Po opened my eyes again."
"Po Wang is really awesome."
"What else can I say? People from the same family are like each other."
"I don't know whether Wang Lai is lucky or unlucky to have such a mother."
"..."
Originally, the village chief did not want to pursue Liu's verbal insults to Lingling, but he did not expect Mrs. Wang to intervene. Now he was not in a hurry, since someone was watching the footprints anyway.
He wanted to see how Liu and Wang Po ended up.
"We have food. Go and call Doctor Yang over."
"Yes, Dad."
When Liu heard the village chief ask someone to call a doctor, she panicked because she knew best whether there was anything wrong with her waist.
As soon as Doctor Yang arrived, everything was exposed.
At first, Mrs. Wang was not worried about Doctor Yang coming, but when she saw Liu's face, she realized that Liu's waist was not injured and she was lying to everyone.
This won't work. She was still counting on Liu's back injury to heal and get ten taels of silver from Li Lingling.
She was not worried that Li Lingling would not be able to come up with the money. Not to mention that Li Lingling had made a lot of money from the Li family, Li Lingling's two daughters also went to catch locusts every day and could catch several kilograms a day. The mother and daughters must have saved a lot of money during this period.
Of course, even if Li Lingling can't come up with ten taels of silver, the village chief is still here.
She knew very well how much the village chief loved his niece Li Lingling.
Li Lingling was so frightened by the ten taels of silver that she was speechless. The strong Wang Po reminded her of her ex-mother-in-law.
