Chapter 8: No money, no shit
Instead, he was worried that Ling Jiuyue would not be able to give birth to a son in the future. He planned to get a marriage certificate if she gave birth to a son, and if she did not, he would kick her out of the house and marry another woman. Since he did not pay a bride price, he was not at a loss.
Unexpectedly, fate brought Ling Jiuyue to where she is today; otherwise, she would have had to go through a lot of trouble to get He Zhigao to divorce her and become a second-marriage woman.
"He Zhigao, we didn't get a marriage certificate, and we didn't even have a wedding banquet. What kind of couple are we!"
He Zhigao's eyes were filled with resentment and regret. If he had gotten the marriage certificate back then, this woman wouldn't be able to run away now.
He wanted to lock her in the house so that she would regret the trouble she had caused every day from now on.
But now...
"Second Sister!" Ling Chun came over carrying her dowry chest: "The 200 yuan dowry money Mom gave you to keep at the bottom of the chest is gone!"
The boxes were ransacked, and several pieces of clothing were missing. Presumably, after they left, the relatives who were implicated looted a lot of things as compensation.
Ling Jiuyue secretly regretted that she had arrived too late.
"Find out everything from our dowry and see if anything is missing!"
Ling Chun, the eldest sister, knew all too well what kind of dowry her family had prepared for her.
After taking stock, three new clothes were missing, two pairs of new shoes were gone, and three bedding sets, three lids, and a kettle were also missing. All that was left were a few heavy pieces of furniture that hadn't been moved.
Ling Jiuyue waved her hand: "Go inside and find them. Take whatever you can from their property as compensation; if you can't, make them pay for what you can't!"
Mother He retorted, "You've ruined my house, where am I going to get the money to compensate you?"
Ling Jiuyue stared into her eyes, a sinister smile on her face:
"No, you do!"
Mother He's heart skipped a beat. Impossible, she couldn't possibly know.
"Who...are you?"
While everyone was busy finding replacement dowries, Sister-in-law He returned with her brothers from her maternal family and several of He Zhigao's cousins.
Upon seeing a dozen or so people standing in the courtyard, all of them young and strong, he was initially confused about what was going on. But after recognizing Ling Jiuyue, he realized that she was Ling Jiuyue.
Sister-in-law He was overjoyed: "Ling Jiuyue, you're back just in time, the hospital bills..."
Ling Jiuyue didn't even glance at her, and asked Ling Chun, "Have you gathered all the items?"
Ling Chun shook her head: "That's not enough. There's still a set of bowls and chopsticks, a thermos, towels... all gone!"
Although they have three daughters, their parents put a lot of effort into preparing dowries for each of them when they got married.
From large items like tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets to small items like pots, pans, and steamed buns, everything was provided in abundance, with plenty of food and supplies, all so that the daughters, who had no brothers to rely on, wouldn't be looked down upon or bullied by their in-laws.
"Let's calculate the total cost."
Ling Chun calculated: "It's about 53 yuan. Let's round it down and have her pay..."
"Alright, let's round it down to sixty so we can settle the bill!" Ling Jiuyue said decisively, "Zhigao's mother, pay up!"
Everyone was stunned. Was this really how you round down the price?
Mother He slapped her thigh and cried, "Are you trying to drive me to my death? Where am I supposed to get the money? You have no money, but you can take my life! Just kill me!"
He Zhigao, who had been vomiting for a long time, hated Ling Jiuyue so much that it bled:
"Ling Jiuyue, are you really going to push things to the extreme? You need to think this through. Others have brothers to help them, but your family has nothing but a few useless women!"
Sister-in-law He could see by now that Ling Jiuyue's attitude wasn't one of returning to back down; she was back to cause trouble.
"Ling Jiuyue, this is the He family's residence. I advise you not to go too far!"
Ling Jiuyue clapped her hands: "Brothers, he said I, Ling Jiuyue, have no brothers. Tell me, do I?"
Zhu Zi and the others shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Qin Shixiao stood beside Ling Jiuyue, his eyes sweeping over the He family members with a threatening look.
"Ling Jiuyue is my sister. If you dare to touch her, don't blame me, Qin Shixiao, for showing no mercy!"
Qin Shixiao?
When some of He Da Sao's relatives heard of him, their expressions changed drastically.
"Sis, Qin Shixiao is really daring, maybe we should..."
Sister-in-law He retorted dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful he is, would he dare to kill someone?"
Ling Jiuyue chuckled: "I can't kill you, but I can feed your family shit!"
It's not illegal to make someone die from being disgusted, right?
He Zhigao exclaimed, "Ling Jiuyue, what... what are you trying to do?"
Ling Jiuyue looked at her hands, frowned, and looked somewhat disgusted:
"Anyway, I haven't washed my hands yet, so I don't mind feeding you and your son a few more lumps. Zhigao's mom, I know better than anyone whether you have money or not."
My two hundred yuan that I've been saving, plus the six hundred yuan I lost, plus the losses and humiliation we sisters suffered today, it's not unreasonable for you to compensate me three hundred yuan!
"Take it out right now, or I'll keep feeding your son shit!"
Sister-in-law He looked at her mother. "Does the old lady still have money?"
That can't be right. All the money given as gifts today was sent to the hospital, and they were just begging people to lend them money. There's no way they have any money left in the family.
Mother He's eyes flickered: "I...I don't have any money!"
"Then eat shit!" Ling Jiuyue shoved another lump of shit into He Zhigao's mouth.
"Brothers, remember to spread the word about He Zhigao when you get back. He has peculiar tastes; he doesn't like meat and fish, he just likes to eat shit!"
Zhu Zi immediately said, "Then we must promote it effectively. No wonder they made things difficult for the bride; oh, her tastes are so unusual!"
Mother He hurriedly called out to her nephews and nieces, "You...you all need to help right now!"
Qin Shixiao stepped forward, his eyes filled with domineering arrogance:
"Anyone want to fight? Come and practice with me first!"
The He family relatives, who had been itching to help, immediately took two steps back. Helping others was one thing, but getting themselves involved was not worth it.
Ling Jiuyue grabbed a clump of pig manure and moved closer to Mother He:
"I already told you, I know exactly how much money you have. I only need three hundred right now. If you keep whining, I won't even leave you the last 48.53!"
"You..." Mother He was so shocked that her face turned pale. How could this little devil know? She even knew the exact amount of money.
Over the years, she had painstakingly saved up so much money by squeezing it out of her three daughters.
The old man's head was smashed open this morning, but she didn't even have the heart to take it out; now...
"If you don't take it, believe me, I can find it myself."
As Ling Jiuyue spoke, she glanced towards the direction of He's mother's house.
"Are you going to eat shit, or obediently hand it over?"
Mrs. He felt this was strange, but she didn't dare to fight with her anymore.
No one's home today, and the people I called can't beat Qin Shixiao, so what can I do?
She could only endure the nausea and limp into the house to get the money.
Ling Jiuyue snatched the small cloth bag from her hand and handed it to Ling Chun:
"Count out three hundred dollars. I'm a man of principle; if I say three hundred, it's three hundred. I won't take a penny more. Here's the rest back!"
She went into the He family's kitchen by herself, scooped water into a pot, washed her hands in the pot, and even used soap to clean her fingernails before coming out.
"Brothers, let's go home!"
As she passed by Sister-in-law He, she muttered under her breath, "Your mother-in-law, tsk tsk~"
