Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 462 Blackmail
Lin Xiaomin has excellent painting skills, exquisite composition, and the characters and content she tells are in line with current trends. No matter which school of thought it belongs to, there is nothing wrong with it, so it can be said that it is a done deal in private.

Lu Qiaoge told Lin Xiaomin, "Sister Xiaomin, just relax and wait to receive your royalties."
-
Cheng's mother never expected that her daughter-in-law would actually be able to publish a children's book.

She never expected that the royalties alone would amount to more than a thousand yuan.

She was startled at the time. But when her son and daughter-in-law went to work and saw Qu Caifeng who had come uninvited, Cheng's mother's heart skipped a beat again.

She had already given Qu Caifeng three hundred yuan.

Cheng's mother is now filled with regret.

Words cannot describe her current feelings. Therefore, her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Qu Caifeng.

I didn't want to open the door for her, but I had no choice. This woman is truly terrifying.

Qu Caifeng walked around the room, and even glanced at Cheng Wen and Lin Xiaomin's locked room with a smile, her lips pursed slightly.

However, he still sat down and said to Cheng's mother, "Auntie, I've run into trouble again, and only you can help me, so I've swallowed my pride and come to your door to borrow money."

"Borrow money? What do you want to borrow? My monthly pension is so little, and I've given you all the money I've saved over the years. Qu Caifeng, don't go too far. I've already told you, last time was the last time, and I will never give you money again. This is extortion and blackmail. If you continue like this, I will report you to the security department."

Qu Caifeng didn't care at all: "If I was afraid you would sue me, I wouldn't be sitting here. It's not much, just eight hundred yuan."

Cheng's mother's face turned ashen. She had truly been foolish; she deserved to die!
Why did you write a note to Qu Caifeng back then?
He also wrote his name on it and then pressed his fingerprint on it.

At that time, she felt as if she had been brainwashed, and thought that Qu Caifeng was a good person who always thought of her and was willing to sacrifice herself for her.

At the time, she was worried that after the child was born, Qu Caifeng would be entangled with the Cheng family. Somehow, she was led by Qu Caifeng to write this agreement.

The above means that after the child is born, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, she will give Qu Caifeng 500 yuan.

And this child has nothing to do with her.

Cheng's mother didn't think she was very smart, but she knew that Qu Caifeng in front of her was really cunning and ruthless.

This was truly the first time she had ever seen a woman like this; she was terrifying.

Does she really love her son that much?
For Cheng Wen's sake, he lured himself step by step into the trap she had set.

"No matter what, I don't have any money. My pension for this month hasn't been paid yet, it's only a few dozen yuan. Where am I supposed to get eight hundred yuan for you? Besides, what do you need eight hundred yuan for?"

"What for? My younger brother is getting married, and the other party is asking for a bride price. As the older sister, I can't just ignore it, but I don't have the means, so I thought of you, Auntie."

Cheng's mother wanted to say something, but felt that it would be meaningless to say anything now.

She said through gritted teeth, "Go away, I won't give you any more money."

"Grandma, I heard your daughter-in-law earned over a thousand yuan in royalties, and there will be more to come. You've been so good to her, what's eight hundred yuan to her? Besides, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't be involved, right? In the end, it's all her fault. Lin Xiaomin should compensate me eight hundred yuan, is that fair?"

Qu Caifeng didn't argue with her and stood up, saying, "I'll come to collect the money at this time tomorrow."

With that, he swaggered away.

Mother Cheng clutched her chest, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

As Qu Caifeng entered the house, a little girl timidly said to her, "Mom, I've cleaned up the kitchen and washed the clothes. I'm going to school now."

Qu Caifeng glanced at her daughter, who looked exactly like her husband, with disgust. She was short and dark-skinned, with small eyes and thick lips. Just looking at her made her feel disgusted.

Every time I see her, I'm reminded of that disgusting man.

Qu Caifeng said impatiently, "Get lost."

The little girl had already reached the door with her schoolbag on her back, but she stopped and mustered up the courage to look up at Qu Caifeng, who was looking at her with impatience and annoyance.

She knew her mother disliked her, thinking she was ugly. Her grandmother secretly told her that she was very beautiful and not to believe this woman. Although the little girl knew she was ugly, she didn't want to hear her mother scold her with such harsh words.

Moreover, what Mom is doing now is wrong.

She got the money from Grandma Cheng, kept half for herself, and gave the other half to her eldest and second uncles.

The little girl didn't understand why her mother did that.

Even though her mother hated her maternal grandparents and her two uncles, she still liked to give them money to spend.

They also sent them some of the best food from their home.

The little girl finally mustered up her courage and pleaded, "Mommy, please don't go to Grandma Cheng's house to ask for money anymore, okay? I..."

Before she could continue speaking, Qu Caifeng grabbed the girl and started hitting her repeatedly.

Hearing the noise, the little boy ran out and first hugged Qu Caifeng's leg. When that didn't work, he lay on his sister's body and cried, "Mommy, Mommy, please, don't hit my sister anymore."

Qu Caifeng grabbed the little boy and pulled him aside. Then she sternly scolded her daughter, who dared not cry out, "What do you think you are, you ugly monster, just like your dead father? You're disgusting to look at, and you dare to interfere in my affairs? Who gave you the guts? You're not allowed to go to school anymore. Clean the floors in the house, and don't cry. Don't go to your grandparents' house to complain. If I find out, I'll beat you to death."

The little girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling all over. Her mother's ferocious face was terrifying.

Even though my whole body ached and I wanted to cry out loud, I had to hold it in.

Lu Qiaoge was unaware of what had happened between the Cheng and Qu families.

In the afternoon, she originally planned to drive to the Manshan Commune branch factory for a visit before going to work.

The other side is operating normally now, but Zhao Xiaoman is working too hard, day and night. That won't do.

He went to the commune before dawn and didn't return home until dark, when he had to take something back to continue weaving.

Lu Qiaoge knew that Zhao Xiaoman was working so hard partly to repay her.

But health is the foundation of everything.

Besides, this factory is profitable.

The trunk of the car contained some labor protection supplies that had been collected from the neighborhood office.

The work clothes have already been distributed; Lu Qiaoge received gloves.

Gloves cannot be used during the fine knitting process, but they are necessary during the initial processing.

Therefore, among the protective equipment, Lu Qiaoge took gloves the most.

Before she could even get there, the big dogfish's voice came from Red Star Lake: "Little master, Cheng Wen's mother jumped into the ice hole. I pushed her to the surface, but she jumped back in."

Lu Qiaoge frowned.

The sound of the big dogfish made all the little cuties nearby scatter to Red Star Lake.

The lake is still frozen, but in some places the snow is already melting quietly.

However, there are two ice holes within the permitted area, not far from the shore, which were carved out by some retired workers who enjoy fishing.

Even though it's not far from the shore, the water is still two or three meters deep.

It's amazing that a giant pike, with its huge body, could push a person out like that...

　Thank you Yu Qiu, caroletu, Hua Luo Wusheng, and all the other lovely ladies for your generous donations and support. Although I've said thank you repeatedly, my gratitude is always sincere. Without you all, I wouldn't have been able to persevere until now. Thank you!!!
