Twenty minutes ago, in the Li family courtyard.
Although Li Laosan's mysterious death caused a lot of discussion among the people in the village, what should be done still had to be done. After handling Li Laosan's body, Li Qiaolian began to organize his funeral.
Although she had a lot of dislike for this brother-in-law, it could not change his identity as a member of the Li family. Therefore, both emotionally and logically, the Li family needed to arrange the burial.
But compared to the busy funeral, Li Qiaolian was more worried about her mother-in-law.
Grandma Yang stayed in the room quietly as usual, very calm, so calm that it felt a bit abnormal.
You must know that now her son has died, but Granny Yang has not shown any sadness at all, which has to make the surrounding neighbors worried.
Li Qiaolian came to Granny Yang's room with the porridge in her hand and knocked on the door.
After a moment of silence, Li Qiaolian finally heard a sigh, "Come in!"
Li Qiaolian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the sound, then opened the door and walked in.
Grandma Yang's room only had some simple furnishings, a wooden bed, a wardrobe and a table. At this time, Grandma Yang was sitting on a wicker chair, looking at the window for a long time without looking back.
Seeing Grandma Yang's condition, Li Qiaolian couldn't help but feel worried.
"Mother-in-law, don't be sad."
Hearing Li Qiaolian's comfort, Granny Yang shook her head and said flatly: "Sad? No, I'm not sad at all. It doesn't make any difference if the third child dies early or later. He is still a disaster anyway, and it's better to be dead now.
So as not to tire others and yourself.”
Li Qiaolian opened her mouth. Although she agreed with her mother-in-law's opinion, she couldn't say it out loud.
"Alas!" Granny Yang sighed, and added: "Actually, I was mentally prepared for the third child to leave before me. You see, he is a bad gambler, an alcoholic, and he likes to stir up trouble. I fantasize about him every day.
, when I opened my eyes, I heard the news that he was hunted down by his enemies and hacked to death by a loan shark."
Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Li Qiaolian really didn't know what to say. A person who has fallen so bad that even his mother wants him to die soon is really hopeless.
"Now that he is dead, I feel much calmer." Granny Yang said calmly, "I have been worried that after I leave, he will make things difficult for you and have evil intentions towards you. I know the character of this beast.
Now I'm fine, I don't have to worry anymore, I feel at ease even if I have to leave."
"Don't...don't say that, mother-in-law, don't think like that." Li Qiaolian couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this, and comforted her with tears in her eyes.
"Qiaolian! My mother-in-law knows that you are a good girl. It's a pity that my eldest son is not blessed. Although he married you, he can't stay with you."
"Mother-in-law..."
"I have always treated you as my biological daughter in my heart. I hope you will find a good home. Dr. Liu is a good person and he will treat you well."
"..." Li Qiaolian's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she lowered her head.
"I know everything about you. I entrusted it to Dr. Liu."
"Actually... I know." Li Qiaolian lowered her head and said sheepishly, "I heard it outside the door that day."
Grandma Yang was surprised for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing, "Haha, that's fine, that's fine. Seeing that you are happy now, grandma will be very happy."
After staying in the room for a while, Li Qiaolian retreated. She could see that Granny Yang was still sad in her heart, but she just didn't want to be seen by people and wanted to be left alone.
"Qiaolian, everything is ready for you. If you need help with anything, just call."
"Hey! Thank you, Aunt Zhang, sorry for bothering you."
"Oh! Don't say such things. We are all neighbors. No one would want something like this to happen. I can only help if I can."
Since funeral matters require manpower, Li Qiaolian was alone and had too many things to handle, so neighbors came over to help.
During this period, Liu Jinsheng often came over to help, but because of his identity, he couldn't stay long to avoid being gossiped about. Of course, Liu Jinsheng himself didn't mind, and he wished he could stay over for the night, but there was no way, the beautiful lady didn't agree, and he couldn't stay.
Come down and spend the night with a corpse!
Li Qiaolian nodded, and then greeted the neighbors who came to help to drink water and eat something. The Li family is somewhat famous in Baimao Village, especially the second child of the Li family has made some achievements outside, and the surrounding neighbors also know about it.
While she was busy taking care of things, suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open with great force.
"Bang!"
The loud sound suddenly drew the attention of everyone present.
At this time, I saw seven or eight big men standing outside the door. All of them had sinister faces and ferocious faces. They looked menacing, especially the man in his thirties who took the lead.
He has a short cut hair, wears a black vest, and his exposed arms are covered with tattoos, making him look very fierce.
Before Li Qiaolian could react, she saw those big men walking in from outside.
"Hey...who are you?" A neighbor uncle who was present saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a young strong man behind him step forward and push the uncle to the ground.
"Old guy, how dare you block the way of my boss, Brother Xiong."
Seeing how vicious the opponent was, all the villagers present were shocked.
"Cough..." The man known as Brother Xiong spit thick phlegm to the side, and then shouted: "Who is in charge here?"
"Whoever is in charge, let him come out."
"Tell me who is in charge."
"Come out quickly, Brother Xiong is asking questions! He's speechless."
Almost at the same time, the younger brothers behind Brother Xiong immediately started shouting one by one, the sound was very loud, and the scene became chaotic for a while. The villagers who were just here to help were even more frightened and did not dare to speak out.
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating rapidly, Li Qiaolian had no choice but to step forward. She first helped the uncle who was pushed down and then said, "What do you want?"
"hiss……"
The moment they saw Li Qiaolian, the seven big men on the other side couldn't help but widen their eyes, especially the leader Xiong, whose eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Li Qiaolian for a long time.
"Tsk tsk!" Brother Xiong's eyes lit up and he smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful girl in this shabby place, she's top notch!"
"..." Li Qiaolian couldn't help but frown and glared at him.
"Hehe..." Brother Xiong laughed and said, "Are you... the person in charge here? I have long heard that Li Laosan has a very beautiful sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that she is really such a top-notch person."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Qiaolian's pretty face tightened, and she seemed to see the shadow of Li Laosan in the other person.
"You bitch, how dare you talk to Brother Xiong with this attitude."
Ma Zai on the side habitually came out to speak for the boss, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly received a slap in the face.
"Shut up, did I tell you to talk? Didn't you see that the beauty was chatting with me?" Brother Xiong scolded angrily. The horse boy received a slap in the face and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly backed away.
Dare to speak.
"Hey, the people below don't know the rules and don't know what to call them! This beauty." Brother Xiong came forward and looked at Li Qiaolian from head to toe, especially her plump and towering breasts.
After being nourished by Liu Jinsheng during this period of time, Li Qiaolian's appearance is radiant! Moreover, under Liu Jinsheng's development, her figure has become even more attractive. The pair of fruits on her chest seem to have a tendency to increase in size. At the same time, because of the
Because of the sweetness of love, her complexion became much better and her charm increased dramatically.
In Liu Jinsheng's heart, Li Qiaolian now doesn't have to give in much compared to the wealthy female Kang Meixin he met!
"Hiss..." Brother Xiong couldn't help but smell the aroma coming from Li Qiaolian's body, and suddenly his heart felt as if he had been scratched, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.
"Who are you? If you are here to cause trouble, please leave here." Li Qiaolian took a step back to avoid the other party's actions with evil intentions.
Brother Xiong licked his tongue and glanced at everyone present. In front of so many people, he didn't dare to make any drastic action.
"Hey, it's easy to talk." Brother Xiong said with a smile: "The man lying in the coffin owes me money, and I'm here to collect the money."
Hearing this, Li Qiaolian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she frowned and stared at the other person, "He owes you money?"
"Yes! I am a very honest person. Li Laosan indeed owes us money, and he has not paid it back yet!"
Li Qiaolian's heart sank more and more, "How much does he owe you?"
"Not much, just 530,000!"
"Wow!" All the people present immediately shouted in an uproar. For an ordinary villager who does not need to spend more than 4,000 yuan a year, 530,000 yuan is simply an astronomical figure.
Similarly, Li Qiaolian was stunned when she heard this astonishing amount. Originally, she was thinking that if possible, she might be able to help pay the debt back, but now it seems that it is completely beyond her ability.
"You...you are talking nonsense, how could he owe so much money."
"Haha, how is it impossible? We have an IOU." Brother Xiong took out a piece of paper and said, "It is clearly written in black and white on it, and there is also a mold of Li Laosan's finger!"
"Absurd!" Suddenly, an angry scolding was heard at the scene. Everyone looked and saw Granny Yang walking out on crutches. "Not to mention whether he owes you money or not, but he really borrowed it. We
I won’t pay back for this beast.”
"You are..." Brother Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Granny Yang, "You are Li Laosan's mother, right?"
"Huh! I don't have such an unfilial son. He has been kicked out by me a long time ago. I don't care what his involvement is with you. In short, we will not be responsible for his affairs."
"Ha...hehe...hahaha..." Brother Xiong sneered, then covered his face and laughed, his voice was very arrogant.
Suddenly he said with a ferocious smile: "Old man, are you fucking stupid? Your son has to pay me back the money he owes me. Now that he's dead, it's up to you to pay it back for him. Do you think you can just say that?"
Won’t you pay back the money?”
"You don't need to say anything here, we won't help this beast pay back the money." Granny Yang said firmly.
"Humph, you won't pay back the money..." Brother Xiong snorted coldly, his eyes couldn't help but drift towards the pretty and pale Li Qiaolian, and said with a lewd smile: "It's okay if you don't pay back the money, just use someone to compensate!"
Before he finished speaking, Brother Xiong suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Qiaolian's wrist and pulled her into his arms.
