When Lin Xiuhua heard that it would cost another two hundred yuan, she immediately exploded.
"You wish! Two hundred yuan? You're robbing me. I don't have it."
How could Lin Xiuhua not know how much money her family had?
Zhang Tiedan used to say he wanted to marry Lin Yue'e and would give her a dowry of 200 or 150 yuan. But in reality, after he married her, he didn't even have 50 yuan. He was pregnant at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get married.
"Yes, I really don't have that much money. Could you give me a smaller amount?"
Zhang Tiedan has no money at all; he's just putting on a brave face.
"I don't care about any of that. Here are my terms: report to the police or pay me. You can choose."
Lin Yue'e didn't mention many other requirements, just these two: as long as they were fulfilled, that would be fine.
"Dad, look at her! Isn't she just asking for too much? We don't have that kind of money. She's your daughter, what do you say to her?"
Knowing that her words to Lin Yue'e were ineffective, Lin Xiuhua immediately pulled Lin Xiangyang out.
"Yue'e..."
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to an animal. Don't think that just because you're my biological father I'll treat you like a human being. I will avenge my mother."
Lin Yue'e's gaze towards Lin Xiangyang was fierce. Lin Xiangyang was so frightened that he felt as if he were seeing Zhao Xiangxing, who had told him to take good care of the child before she died.
For a moment, words stuck in his throat; he didn't know what to say. He could only turn around and leave.
"This is beyond my control. It's a matter for the Zhang family."
"father!"
Lin Xiuhua was furious when Lin Xiangyang left.
Zhou Huiru coldly observed Lin Xiuhua's worthless appearance.
A disdainful smile crept across her lips. Zhang Tiedan had done such a shameless thing, and Lin Xiuhua actually condoned it, even wanting to help him pay back the money. No way! This guy was siding with outsiders. Thank goodness he wasn't her biological son. From now on, she'd better keep a close eye on her money. Also, she needed to call her son and tell him not to send his work back anymore, otherwise, who knows who might benefit from it.
"Honey, wait for me!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Huiru saw Lin Xiuhua looking at her and immediately turned around to chase after Lin Xiangyang.
She didn't want to get involved in this mess. She'd rather give the money to Lin Yue'e than give Lin Xiuhua any more subsidies.
Seeing that her adoptive mother had also run away, Lin Xiuhua could only look to her biological parents for help. Lin Xiangqian and Zhang Guifen were also there.
"We...we agree. But we can't get the money right away, so please give us some more time."
In the end, Zhang Heiwa agreed on behalf of his brother, as a way of repaying his elder brother's kindness over the years.
"Alright, write the confession and the IOU now. Also, bring over one hundred now. I'll only give you half a month to raise the remaining one hundred. If you can't raise the money in half a month, don't blame me for going to town."
As for what they were going to do in town, everyone knew the answer.
After that, Secretary Chen helped write a statement, which Zhang Tiedan signed and fingerprinted. In addition, the village chief and Secretary Chen also wrote their names as witnesses and affixed the village's official seal.
Zhang Heiwa said he would definitely raise 100 yuan for Lin Yue'e today.
By this time, almost three hours had passed, and it was nearly dawn. Fortunately, it was just after the New Year, and everyone was off work, so they went back to rest.
Lin Yue'e locked the door and entered the space. She breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still quite scared. After all, if it weren't for the space, and if she hadn't been drinking the spiritual spring water there for a long time, which had given her a strong constitution, things might have been very different today. If Zhang Tiedan had really forced himself on her after entering the room, he might have succeeded.
She still wanted to thank the villagers who came to help her today. She took out a notebook and wrote down the names of everyone who spoke up for her today. She would thank them again later when things were better. It was better to leave it at that for now. Everyone was still sharing grain collectively, and it would be strange if she really took out a large amount of food herself.
Having arrived at school, Gu Jingyan, who was sleeping in his dormitory, dreamt of this scene again. In the same setting, Lin Yue'e was hunched over her desk writing something. He went over to interact with her.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yue'e ignored him, as if she hadn't noticed him at all.
That's right, it was just a dream. So he reached out to pat Lin Yue'e's shoulder again, but his hand just passed right through her.
"Damn Zhang Tiedan, how dare you break into my house in the middle of the night? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Now that you've written a confession, let's see how you'll hold your head up in the village from now on."
Lin Yue'e placed Zhang Tiedan's confession on the table.
Hearing this, Gu Jingyan paid no attention, because he felt like he was dreaming. There was no room like this in Qing Shi Village, let alone in the entire Sun Town.
So he simply thought he was too attached to Lin Yue'e and could only dream about her.
However, he still followed Lin Yue'e's hand and looked at the paper on the table.
The paper contained a confession written in the first person by Zhang Tiedan, listing the charge as attempted rape in a home. Upon seeing these words, Gu Jingyan woke up in a panic.
When he woke up, he glanced at his watch; it was not yet six o'clock.
Lying there, he didn't know if what he saw in his dream was real or not. Last semester, he often dreamed of Lin Yue'e, watching her belly grow bigger day by day. At the time, he always thought it was a dream, that he couldn't bear to part with Lin Yue'e, so he dreamed that Lin Yue'e would give him a child.
But it turned out it wasn't a dream; Lin Yue'e was indeed pregnant and quite heavily pregnant. And this time, Zhang Tiedan actually dared to make a move on her, even though she had only arrived at school today! And yet this happened.
It seems he needs to hurry and rent the house sooner or later, or maybe buy one. He plans to call home after dawn.
Lin Yue'e slept until noon, when someone knocked on the door and woke her up.
When the door opened, Zhang Heiwa stood there, looking apologetic. He handed her the hundred yuan he had managed to scrape together.
"I'll work out the remaining hundred for you as soon as possible."
Lin Yue'e didn't say anything and accepted the money. It seems Zhang Heiwa has borrowed all the money he could from everyone he could for this hundred yuan.
Zhang Heiwa has brought out all his savings and even approached his sister's family. He spoke to his sister, as they were both raised by their older brother. Now that their older brother has done this, his sister feels ashamed and thinks that her brother has really lost his mind.
Out of consideration for their sibling bond, they still contributed thirty yuan. This even led to an argument between the sister and brother-in-law.
Zhang Heiwa wasn't much better off; he even took out the 60 yuan his family had painstakingly saved over the years. That still left them 20 yuan short. His older brother had asked his sister-in-law for that 20 yuan, but she refused, and the two almost got into a fight.
I'm still short 100 yuan, and I don't know where to borrow it.
When he got home, he was met with his wife's curses. Zhang Heiwa could only keep his head down.
Let the older brother figure out how to use the remaining money. He was the one who made the mistake, so he has to pay some of the price.
