Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Paying Back the Money

Qin Xiangnuan clenched both of her little hands into fists. In her past life, she really didn’t know that Granny Lu had come. She only remembered that one day, Qin Pengfei seemed to have come into a large sum of money, buying a new backpack and new stationery, and even a toy gun. He went wild with it among the children in the village for quite a while, and for several years afterwards, he always had money to spend, and even bought Qin Xiangmei quite a few snacks. Back then, he said he had found the money.

But that wasn’t true. It was Granny Lu’s money, the money she begged for on the road and brought for him and his siblings.

Yes, no matter what, she had to get that money back.

It was money her granny earned through hard work, and she never knew she had another relative. She thought she only had her big brother to rely on in this world, but it turned out there was also Granny Lu. She didn’t know what happened to Granny Lu in her previous life, because she had never seen her before she died, nor did she know that Granny Lu had actually come to Dadao Village.

Aunt Hua took Granny Lu to ask for the money back. She was afraid the children would be too soft-hearted and worried that Qin Guohua would hold a grudge against the children. After all, the kids were too young to understand the crooked and unseemly ways of the adult world. It was better to let her be the villain. Anyway, the two families had already fallen out, so it wasn’t a big deal to have another confrontation.

It was infuriating indeed. Aunt Hua brought Granny Lu to the Qin Family with a fierce demeanor.

"What are you doing at my house?" Hu Li’s face fell as soon as she saw Aunt Hua.

"You shameless woman, occupying my family’s shop and still strutting around the village, where is your shame? If I were you, I’d have already knocked my head dead against the well."

"Your family’s shop?" Aunt Hua sneered, hands on her hips. When it comes to cursing, Aunt Hua is no less adept than Hu Li. In the countryside, cursing is all about who can be more vulgar and shameless.

"Hu Li, take a good look at yourself in the piss. With your family’s poor and pathetic state, always farming, not even able to cook a decent meal, yet you dare to imitate others and open a shop to sell things! Where did you get the money, the shop, the skills? Pah!"

She stretched out her hand, "Hand over the money."

"Money? What money?" Hu Li screeched, as if the whole village could hear.

"What money?" Aunt Hua wiped her hands on her clothes, "What other money is there? Your family’s Qi Pengfei took Xiang Yang’s granny’s money. That money was meant for Xiang Yang and his siblings, but was tricked away by your Qi Pengfei. And he’s someone who’s been to school, who’s read books, yet he did such a shameless act, simply a disgrace to his ancestors. Who would dare to send relatives to your house in the future? They’d all be conned by your Qi Pengfei. Having a swindler in the family is justifiable now, huh? I don’t believe it. Aunt Hua rolled up her sleeves, ’Give me the over 100 yuan that belongs to Xiang Yang’s granny right now, or else I’ll take this to the Village Chief and let him judge this matter fairly.’"

Hearing this, Hu Li instantly jumped up, pointing at Aunt Hua’s nose and cursing loudly, "You old shameless hag, how dare you accuse our Pengfei of stealing money. Qin Xiangyang? He’s nothing compared to a single hair on our Pengfei’s head. I’ll tear your mouth today, spoil my family Pengfei’s name here. My Pengfei is going to university in the future, to become an educated person."

With that, she lunged at Aunt Hua.

If it were Aunt Hua of the past, she would definitely have had a fight with Hu Li, in the typical rural style—pulling hair, slapping faces. But since she has done business, she’s had more contact with people, put simply, she’s become more knowledgeable. She knew it wasn’t worth it to get physical with someone like Hu Li.
