Chapter 152
Aunt Zhao asked mysteriously, "Do you still remember Zhou Yuru?"
"What happened? Was she found?" Zhong Ruyi asked curiously.
"No!" Aunt Zhao was very excited. "She ran away and has not been found. Her family members insisted that your third brother hid her! They are making a fuss about it now."
The voice inside was getting louder and louder. "Go in quickly and take a look. Your mother is not here, so your sister-in-law has taken over. Go in quickly and help your sister-in-law. Don't let her suffer any loss."
Zhong Ruyi and Jiang Qin quickly pushed open the door and went in, closing it to block out the view from outside.
But when she looked at the villagers who were lying on the wall of her house and watching with excitement, she really didn't know what to say.
In the yard, the eldest sister-in-law was the first to stand in front, and the one confronting her was Zhou's mother.
"How dare you say you didn't hide my daughter? If not, why didn't she come home?"
Li Guihua smiled contemptuously, "Who knows where your daughter went? I heard that you have already sold one daughter, who knows if you will sell another one?"
The villagers around who heard this also started talking about it.
"Yes, didn't the Zhou family sell a daughter to her son to pay off his gambling debts? Maybe this one was also sold, and they lied to people that she was lost."
"How abominable! My daughter is my own, how can you just sell her away?"
Mother Zhou didn't expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued. Seeing that everyone around her was being led astray by her, she became even more furious. "It was obviously your Third Brother Zhong who hid my daughter! Stop slandering me!"
"Your family hid one of my daughters, so you have to compensate me with one. Tell your sister to come out!"
Hey!
That was the original idea!
Zhong Laosan was standing behind the eldest sister-in-law, and he laughed out of anger when he heard this.
"It is Yu Ru's greatest misfortune to have relatives like you!"
Mother Zhou glared at him angrily, "Zhong Lao San, I advise you to hand over my daughter, or I will use your sister in exchange!"
Zhong Ruyi walked out of the crowd and sneered, "Your purpose for coming here today is not just this, right?"
"Little sister! Why are you back?" As soon as the sister-in-law saw her, she quickly pulled her over to prevent her from being accidentally injured by the Zhou family opposite.
As soon as Zhou Yushou heard her voice, he stared at her viciously, as if he wanted to bite a piece of flesh off her.
Zhong Ruyi greeted her family with a smile, "Dad, big brother, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third brother, I came back for something. Come, Jiang Qin, come here."
"Dad." She leaned close to Mr. Zhong's ear and whispered, "I bought this child. Now I tell everyone that he is a distant relative of my mother."
Father Zhong listened attentively, glanced at Jiang Qin who looked nervous, and nodded, "Okay, I get it. If anyone asks me, I'll just say he's your mother's distant relative. But why did you buy him back? Don't you like Chen Dongzhi?"
Why did they suddenly buy such a handsome little boy? Mr. Zhong thought, could it be that his daughter suddenly changed her mind again?
"Oh my! Dad, what are you thinking? He was bought back to help in the store, along with his sisters. Who do you think I am?"
Mr. Zhong had an embarrassed look on his face, and the two of them just started talking as if they were alone.
"Where on earth did you hide my daughter? Hand her over to me right now!"
Mother Zhou was very angry at being ignored and screamed in a shrill voice.
"I warn you, if you don't hand over my daughter, I will report to the police and have the county magistrate arrest you all!"
"Dad, she warned us, what should we do?" Zhong Ruyi asked her father in a panic.
Zhou's mother thought she was really scared, and smiled smugly, "This matter is not without a solution. Since your family has cheated my daughter away, you just need to compensate me with another one."
"If that's the case, go report it to the police. Who knows if your daughter was sold by you? Don't cry thief."
Zhong Ruyi sneered, "And I heard that your daughter disappeared more than a month ago. You didn't report it to the police, but now you're blaming us? I think we should report it to the police and have you arrested!"
"I don't care. Anyway, my daughter was deceived away by your family's Third Brother Zhong and she hasn't come back yet!" Seeing that she couldn't convince her, Zhou's mother immediately fell to the ground and cried, slapping her thighs while crying.
"My poor daughter, she was deceived at such a young age. Now she can't even be seen. My dear!"
She opened her mouth and cried, but unfortunately not a single tear shed. It looked so fake.
As early as when she sold her eldest daughter to her eldest son to pay off his gambling debts, several surrounding villages already knew the true face of their family.
They obviously don't love their daughter, but they acted so hypocritically. They didn't cry sincerely, and there were no tears at all.
While no one was paying attention, Li Guihua went to the kitchen and scooped a basin of water, poured a few spoonfuls of chili sauce into it, stirred it, and then took it out.
"Little sister! Get out of the way!" she yelled.
Zhong Ruyi subconsciously took a few steps back, and saw her sister-in-law bringing out a basin of red water with something in it. She raised her hand and poured all the water on Zhou's mother, even flowing into her mouth and eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!" Zhou's mother screamed and rolled on the ground, tears and snot coming out.
Zhou's father, Zhou Yushou and others who came with her took a few steps back in fear, and no one dared to help her up.
They could only stand far away and said in a timid voice, "What are you doing? Are you trying to poison and kill someone?"
Look at the basin of red water poured on Zhou's mother. She immediately crawled on the ground like a centipede. If this isn't poison, what is it?
The onlookers around were also frightened by this scene and quickly stood further away, trying to persuade them, "Old Zhong, what are you doing? If they are making a fuss, you can just chase them away, why do you have to kill them?"
"Yes, this is too cruel. It's a life that was lost. I have to doubt whether what they said is true. Could it be that the daughter of the Zhou family was really hidden by your Third Brother Zhong?"
Mr. Zhong shouted angrily, "Old Tian, stop talking bullshit here! Which eye of yours saw my son hiding his daughter?"
So many people were talking about it, but Auntie Tian was the only one being scolded. She curled her lips and said, "Who knows where you hid her?"
"Aunt Tian, I call you aunt out of respect for you, not to give you the right to throw dirty water on our family. If you talk nonsense again, I will ask the village chief to take you and the Zhou family to see the officials!" Zhong Ruyi looked at her steadily without smiling.
Aunt Tian immediately stopped talking. It was not because she was afraid of the Zhong family, but because she was afraid of meeting the officials.
Zhong Ruyi looked at Zhou's mother who was still writhing on the ground, and sneered, "Okay, stop squirming around like a loach. This is just a little pepper spray to warn you. If you dare to come to my house and cause trouble again, it won't be solved by just a little pepper spray."
Finally, someone went to find the village chief, and the village chief asked someone to call the chief of Yangliu Village.
Tell him to take these people back and not to come to their Xinghua Village to cause trouble. If it happens again, report it to the police directly.
