650 Seeking Help
Zhao Hong went to the village office to look for the village chief and bumped into Hai Hua, who had come to have breakfast with the village chief. The village chief, Sun Jian, was her husband.
“I was wondering who it is? Isn’t this the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family? Have you come to look for my husband after failing to deceive the young lady from our clinic?” Hai Hua said mockingly.
“I! Anyway! Brother Sun, quickly go to my house to take a look! Li Gui wants to kill my mother-in-law!” Zhao Hong said anxiously.
The couple’s reactions were completely different.
“What! How dare she kill someone!” Sun Jian looked at Zhao Hong in surprise.
“Oh my goodness! That’s such a good thing!” Hai Hua was so happy that she almost jumped up to celebrate.
Back then, Old Madam Li had made her so embarrassed in the village. Now that the old woman was getting killed by her daughter, it could be considered retribution! This was a great thing!
“What are you saying! If someone in the village gets killed, do you think I can continue to be the village chief!” Sun Jian pushed Hai Hua angrily.
Hai Hua immediately understood what he meant. It was not as if there had never been any deaths in the village, but no one had ever died from murder. Generally, there were militiamen in the village and no one dared to do anything illegal.
If Old Madam Li really died, then Hai Hua would not be the wife of the village chief for long.
“Then go quickly! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and go!” Hai Hua said quickly.
Sun Jian got on his bicycle and sped towards the Li family house. Hai Hua and Zhao Hong ran behind him with all their might, afraid that Old Madam Li would lose her life if they were any slower!
“Are you really not going to return the money to me?” Li Gui said viciously.
Old Madam Li was so frightened that she could not stand up straight. She leaned closely against the wall and said, “I… I’ll give it to you now… Don’t do anything…”
“Quickly! Hurry up and return it to me!” Li Gui roared.
Old Madam Li had hidden all the money under the floor tiles outside the house. Even if she wanted to go now, she was unable to. Li Gui had blocked the door. Furthermore, her legs had long gone weak and she could not even take a single step.
“You still don’t want to give me the money?” Li Gui said.
Old Madam Li was so frightened that she fell onto the brick bed and quickly flung her hands. “It’s not that! Listen to me! I ‘m not doing this on purpose! My legs are feeling weak now and I can’t move! Can you let me take a moment!”
“Excuses! It’s all excuses! You just don’t want to give me the money! Since you’re unwilling to give me the money, let’s die together!” As Li Gui spoke, she held up the kitchen knife and rushed towards Old Madam Li.
Old Madam Li was so frightened that she closed her eyes and screamed, “Ah!!! Help!!!”
Sun Jian rushed into the house and pounced on Li Gui in a flash. The kitchen knife in Li Gui’s hand was knocked to one side.
“Let go of me! I’m going to kill her! Let go of me!” Li Gui struggled and roared.
“Calm down! Don’t be rash! Take a good look at who I am!” Seeing that Li Gui was still immersed in her crazy thoughts, Sun Jian raised his hand and slapped her.
This slap managed to make Li Gui calm down completely.
Old Madam Li sat stiffly on the brick bed, her hands trembling uncontrollably in front of her chest. There was also a pungent smell coming from some liquid under her butt.
“Don’t kill me… Don’t kill me…” Old Madam Li muttered to herself.
At this moment, Hai Hua and Zhao Hong had also rushed in. When they saw the scene in front of them, they did not know whether they should feel happy first or save the people first.
“Li Gui!” Zhao Hong hurriedly went forward to help Li Gui up from the floor.
Hai Hua also went to help Sun Jian, who was on the ground. Although she did not see what happened at the scene, she could tell from the kitchen knife on the floor and Old Madam Li’s expression that Li Gui had probably made up her mind.
“Li Gui, what do you think you’re doing!” Sun Jian said.
“I just want my money back! My child is paralyzed in bed and still needs treatment! She actually cheated me of all my money! I just want to get back the money in order to save my child!” Li Gui leaned against Zhao Hong and cried bitterly.
The money was gone and Qiao Mei no longer trusted her. The four children would not be able to live well either. They would either starve to death or die of illness.
Why should she continue to live such a life? She might as well die!
“Pfft! Old Madam Li is really a sinner! She can even cheat money for this purpose! How shameless!” Hai Hua scolded.
Sun Jian glared at Hai Hua. It was not their place to care about other people’s family matters. All they could do was to stop Li Gui from committing murder. As for mediation, it depended on whether the affected parties were willing to accept it.
