Wang Qiaoping had been focusing on her daughter-in-law all day. Only now did she remember that it was getting dark, so why hadn't her granddaughter come back yet?
"What's going on?"
"I should have come back at this point in the past. This old man is really serious. How long does it take to pick someone up? The older you get, the less reliable you are."
Wang Qiaoping said as she walked out the door, planning to visit the entrance of the village.
"ah!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she almost bumped into Liu Hongying. She was startled and stepped back.
"What are you here for?"
Wang Qiaoping was a little disgusted when she saw Liu Hongying.
Liu Hongying was followed by Chu Guodong and Sun Min. She was looking dingy when she left yesterday, but now she seems to be in high spirits.
"What? This is my daughter's home, shouldn't I come?"
Where did she get the confidence to show off her power here?
Wang Qiaoping didn't understand: "No, don't you have any idea in your mind whether you should come or not?"
"Heh." Liu Hongying laughed.
"Wang, you don't want me to enter your house, but what about your granddaughter? Do you want her to come back?"
A sentence is as sudden as a thunder.
When Cree Yaqian, who was sitting in the living room just now, heard this, she couldn't help being startled, and turned her head and looked over.
Wang Qiaoping also felt a thump in her heart.
"You...what do you mean?"
She had a vague idea in her heart, but she felt that it was impossible. An An was picked up by Lu Wenqi, so there should be no problems.
"An'an, An'an..."
Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
It belongs to Lu Wenqi.
Lu Wenqi pushed his bicycle into the yard. As soon as he entered the door, he looked everywhere for An An.
"Old man..."
Wang Qiaoping saw Lu Wenqi getting more and more nervous. She ran up to him and asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where is An'an?"
"Hey, stop talking. I don't know what happened to this bicycle. Suddenly the chain fell off halfway. I had no choice but to push it to the town to have it repaired.
After repairing my bicycle, I hurriedly rushed to the school. The school had ended early, the gates were closed, and there was not a single student inside.
I thought to myself that An An knew the road usually, so she probably came back together with her classmates.
What? An An hasn’t come back yet?”
Lu Wenqi looked around the yard and saw no sign of his granddaughter. If it were in the past, she would have run out and called "Grandpa" long ago.
"Oh, you old man!"
When Wang Qiaoping heard this, she felt that something was wrong.
"What can you do? Just ask you to pick up a child but you can't pick it up? You can't find anyone, don't you know how to look around?" She complained to the old man.
"What's going on? Is this? Could it be An An..."
"No need to be busy." Liu Hongying spoke at this time: "An'an, I was picked up by Mingde."
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Lu family all stood up.
"You picked up An An? Why did you pick up An An? What do you want to do?" Lu Wenqi suddenly became excited.
"Look what you said, An'an is my granddaughter, and I, the grandmother, will take her home to play for a few days. Why are you so nervous?"
How many days to play?
If only she was really so kind.
"What are you going to do?" Cree Yaqian, who was sitting in the room at this time, couldn't hold back any longer. She stood up and rushed out.
I spent a lot of time calming down, but now all my efforts have been wasted.
"What kind of grandma are you? You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a grandma for a day at all. Why did you pick her up?"
Give me your daughter back, give me back!"
Cree Yaqian just wished she could tear Liu Hongying's face into pieces.
Her eyes widened with anger, and her hands rushed toward her. I have to say, this look was a bit scary.
Fortunately, Wang Qiaoping held her back.
Even so, Liu Hongying couldn't help but took two steps back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a slight sneer: "Haha, what kind of daughter are you talking to your mother like this?"
"Okay, okay..."
Wang Qiaoping comforted Cree Yaqian.
Then he signaled Lu Yongguo with his eyes to come up and hold Cree Yaqian up. Then he turned his head and looked at Liu Hongying: "Tell me, what do you want to do to get my granddaughter back."
"It's very simple."
After waiting for so long, Liu Hongying finally got to the point. She walked straight into the room, found a seat, and sat down at leisure.
"Thirty thousand yuan, you take the money and I will let your granddaughter come back."
"Thirty thousand? Are you crazy?"
This was Lu Wenqi's first reaction.
Are you kidding me? Their family only spent 7,000 yuan to build this house, but Liu Hongying asked for 30,000 yuan as soon as she asked? Is this a joke?
Lu Wenqi knew that Lu Yongguo must have earned a lot of money over the years, but he didn't know exactly how much.
He only knew that his three sons had been filial to him over the years, and that the old couple had worked hard to farm the land. Together, they only earned a few thousand yuan.
And Liu Hongying asked for 30,000 yuan. He dared to say that even if he searched the entire commune, he could not find anyone with this kind of money.
"There must be a limit to how big a lion can open its mouth," Lu Wenqi said.
"What does it mean for a lion to open its mouth wide?"
Liu Hongying turned back to look at Lu Wenqi: "Can you stop speaking so unpleasantly?"
Haha, at this time, she still wants to listen to good things?
"I was pregnant for ten months, and it took me a day and a night to give birth to such a daughter. I went through all kinds of hardships to raise her. How much effort was spent and how much thought wasted?
Now that she has been bewitched by your family and doesn’t even recognize me as her mother, do you think your family should compensate me?
Since ancient times, three matchmakers and six betrothals have been the proper etiquette. This is what your family should give.
Besides, I heard that your eldest son has made a lot of money in recent years.
How did you earn this money?
Without my daughter, how could he, a semi-illiterate with a junior high school education, be able to open a company? Become a boss?
Can your family live like this?
The thirty thousand yuan I want is still relatively little.
However, I am not that greedy person. Today, you give me the money and I will return your granddaughter to you. From now on, I will have nothing to do with your family.
I just pretend that I have never given birth to this daughter. She can live in this hilly place as she pleases and as long as she wants.
How about it?
Is this a good deal?"
She knew more about Lu Yongguo's family background than Lu Wenqi.
"You're dreaming!"
At this time, Que Yaqian, who had been pulled back by Lu Yongguo, rushed over again.
"I earned every penny. Besides clinging to my body and sucking blood, what else can you do? I won't give it to you, not even a penny!
This is extortion, this is fraud!
I’m going to call the police, I’m going to sue you!”
She cursed bitterly.
Hateful, so hateful.
How could there be such a person in this world? How could there be such a mother?
Breaking through her cognitive bottom line again and again.
"Sue, sue, sue, so that the whole world can see what a cruel person you are! What kind of graduate student? What kind of big boss?"
He doesn’t even recognize his own mother.”
Liu Hongying was not to be outdone.
Wang Qiaoping tried to dissuade her in the middle: "Okay, okay..."
But the scene was a mess, and Wang Qiaoping's voice had been covered up to the point where several words could not be heard.
