Chapter 289 The Brother-Supporting Demon of the 1960s 6
Zhou Yue and his son were beaten up and thrown out the door, leaving them with no choice but to slink away.
Jin Hua listened in the kitchen, secretly pleased. She thought her mother-in-law had really done a great job this time. Her mother-in-law had finally stopped siding with her uncle's family. That was wonderful.
By the time Da Nian and Xiao Nian heard the news and returned one after the other, the battle was already over.
After listening to their eldest daughter-in-law recount the events, they were both overjoyed. It seems that this time, Mother has truly regained her senses.
Seeing that everything was alright at home, the two went back to the factory, since taking leave would result in a deduction in pay.
"Lingling, why did it take you so long to come back? You silly girl, if something had really happened, it would have been too late by the time your father and the others got back." Jinhua couldn't help but scold her daughter a few times.
Lingling stammered, "Mom, I...I was walking and I tripped and fell. I'm sorry."
Jin Hua didn't take it to heart. "Alright, I'm not blaming you. Go play with your younger brothers."
Lingling left feeling guilty, while Qingmo watched her retreating figure with a half-smile, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Her eldest granddaughter is truly remarkable; she's so young, yet her mind is so deep.
Not bad, not bad, you've inherited some of her skills.
That afternoon, the original owner's family members brought Zhou Yue and his son to her door. A large group of people, including Zhou Jun's wife's brothers, stormed into the yard, demanding an explanation from her.
"You wretched girl, you beat your nephew and your brother like this! They are the lifeblood of the Zhou family! How could you do this to me, you heartless girl?"
"This is outrageous! Everyone, please be the judge! As the younger brother, he came to visit his older sister out of kindness, and she beat him up like this. Does she have no conscience at all?"
Old Mrs. Zhou, who was the original owner's mother, sat on the ground and cried and wailed, wishing she could call all the neighbors within a ten-mile radius to come and see the commotion.
The commotion was quite loud, as a group of people came in aggressively, just as the factory was closing time.
The onlookers, no longer in a hurry to go home for dinner, rushed over to watch the excitement, crowding the doorway and craning their necks to peer inside.
Qingmo sneered and stood in the courtyard with her arms crossed. "Oh, so you've come all this way to interrogate me?"
The original owner's father pointed at Qingmo's nose and cursed, "You good-for-nothing, who gave you the guts to hit our Zhou Yue? I'll beat you to death today!"
He then attacked, striking at Qingmo. She easily dodged, tilting her body to the side, and sneered, "Oh, Father, you're getting angry because you can't get any more of your daughter's blood?"
"With your old arms and legs, you think you can kill me? You're old now, not like before."
The original owner's father was so angry that he was about to rush forward again when Qingmo raised her voice and said, "Everyone, come and listen to what the Zhou family has done."
“Zhou Yue and his son came to my house and caused trouble. I gave my job to my daughter-in-law, but they insisted that I take the job back and give it to my niece-in-law.”
“You know, over the years, I’ve been sending more than ten yuan to my parents’ home every month. Whenever I have something good to eat or drink, I send it to them. Anyone who knows me knows that I would rather my own children suffer than let my family suffer.”
"Now that I'm all old, my brothers still want me to help them out? They want the house, they want the job, they're just sucking our blood, aren't they? Are they trying to kill me?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding onlookers immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Oh, is that so? The bride's family has gone too far."
"That's right, their daughter has been helping them for so many years, and they're still not satisfied."
"It's good that this girl is easy to control. If my daughter-in-law were to help her family like this, I would break her legs."
The original owner's father blushed with embarrassment and anger, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm your father, it's only right that you help your brother. No matter what, you beat him up like this, you have to give an explanation, or I'll go to your factory and cause trouble."
Qingmo sneered, "I'm talking nonsense? Don't you know your place? If you're smart, you'd better take your people and leave now, instead of making a fool of yourselves here."
"Make a scene? Sure, I'm not working anymore anyway. I might go to your son's factory and cause a scene. Let's make a scene. Our family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. Losing my job is a good excuse to go back to my parents' house for dinner. Dad, you won't be unhappy about that, will you?"
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou wailed even louder, “You heartless wretch! I’ve raised you for nothing! Now you dare to hit your brother, and one day you’ll dare to hit your parents! You unfilial wretch!”
At this time, Da Nian and Xiao Nian finally finished work and came back. Seeing so many people gathered at their door, they thought something terrible had happened and could only try their best to squeeze in.
When I saw my uncle's family, I knew without even thinking.
The two sons resolutely rushed out and stood in front of Qingmo.
"Grandma, Grandpa, are you bullying my mom again?"
Seeing their two eldest grandsons, the Zhou family elders' expressions didn't improve much; after all, in their eyes, these were outsiders.
"You two bastards, stop talking nonsense! Your mother beat up your uncles and the others. If you don't give us an explanation today, we're not leaving your house."
"Grandpa, just tell me straight, what exactly do you want to do?" Danian asked, suppressing his anger.
"Hmph, you give the job to Junzi's wife and pay her fifty yuan in compensation, and we'll call it even. Otherwise, nobody will have a peaceful time."
Now the onlookers all know the Zhou family's purpose: in the end, they just want jobs and money.
However, the people around them only whispered among themselves.
They didn't care because it didn't concern them; they were just spectators.
The two brothers naturally couldn't agree to this condition, and they argued with them until they were red in the face. Qingmo, on the other hand, didn't say anything. What was there to say?
None of you here will necessarily see the sun rise tomorrow.
At this moment, Lingling secretly tugged at her mother's clothes and whispered a few words.
Jin Hua's expression changed, and she said to Qing Mo, "Mother, why don't we give some compensation to settle this matter?"
Qingmo glared at her. "Settle things peacefully? They're taking advantage of us. If I back down today, won't they be able to ride roughshod over me in the future? You believe such useless people."
While she was supposedly scolding Jin Hua, her eyes subtly swept over Ling Ling, who was also a restless woman.
Lingling felt a chill run down her spine from Qingmo's gaze and unconsciously shrank back.
When the Zhou family elders saw that their daughter's family was taking a hard line, they started throwing a tantrum. The old lady Zhou was crying on the ground with snot and tears streaming down her face, while the original owner's father was yelling that he would go to the factory and make a scene so that they would all lose their jobs.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Qingmo came out carrying a kitchen knife.
"Dad, Mom, if you insist on making a scene today, I'll play along. Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes. Anyway, our family isn't doing too well, so why don't we all just give up and die together?"
This stunned the Zhou family elders and those who had come with them. The old lady Zhou stopped crying abruptly and stared wide-eyed at Qingmo.
The original owner's father dared not shout anymore and took a few steps back.
The onlookers gasped in surprise, not expecting this move. They worried that innocent bystanders might get hurt, and quickly dispersed.
"You...you crazy woman, how dare you lay a hand on me?" the original owner's father shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
Qingmo sneered and approached step by step, "Why wouldn't I dare? At worst, we'll fight to the death. Anyway, you've driven me to the brink."
The Zhou family members looked at each other, all feeling somewhat guilty.
Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The police are here!"
Several police officers pushed through the crowd and entered; apparently, someone had noticed something was wrong and called the police.
After understanding the situation, the police sternly told the Zhou family, "You are being unreasonable and trying to force others to give you their jobs and money. This is illegal."
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Zhou family immediately deflated.
The police officer then said to Qingmo, "Although they were wrong, you shouldn't have used a knife. It was very dangerous. Your hitting someone was self-defense, but you still injured someone. Pay 10 yuan in compensation, and that's the end of it."
Qingmo didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
In the end, the Zhou family took ten yuan and left, and the farce finally came to an end.
However, they certainly won't let this go so easily.
