“In my opinion, the reason for the current situation is that wonderful third sister of yours! It’s all her fault!” Sun Ying said aggrievedly.
“You’re the one who said that if the old lady dies, we can come back and get a share of the family assets! In this situation, you still want to blame others!” Li Xiong said.
“Why can’t I blame her! If not for her, your mother won’t have gone crazy! We won’t have come back! When I passed by the village entrance today, I heard people saying that Li Gui snatched more than 100 dollars from mother! More than 100 dollars! How can that not drive your mother crazy! If you ask me, we should get the money back! Why should she be allowed to take this amount of money!” Sun Ying said.
Li Xiong only knew that Li Gui had driven Old Madam Li crazy. He did not know about the details.

Based on what Sun Ying said, then he had a share in that amount of 100 dollars! No matter how much money Old Madam Li had saved up, it would be split among her children when she died!
Li Gui was really shameless! She actually did such a traitorous thing for money!
“We’ll go and look for her tomorrow! Ask her for the money!” Li Xiong said.
Sun Ying thought about it carefully and said, “I remember someone in our alley said that for such life-threatening matters, we must ask the guilty party to pay up. So, we must ask her for medical expenses, nutrition fees and compensation for emotional damage!”
“That’s right! But how much does it cost? Is 20 dollars enough?” Li Xiong said hesitantly.
“Didn’t her daughter marry a rich man! She must have a lot of money! Let’s ask for 80 dollars!” Sun Ying said excitedly.
“You good-for-nothing! If even our mother can save more than 100 dollars, it would be easy for them to take out 80 dollars! Ask them for 150 dollars!” Li Xiong thought that he had asked for a lot of money, but in reality, it was not even a fraction of what Old Madam Li had asked for.
The more the two of them chatted, the happier they became. In the end, they raised their demand to 500 dollars and even felt that 500 dollars was already an astronomical amount. They had worked as scavengers in the city for so long and had not even managed to save 100 dollars. Was it something that was possible in the countryside?
They roughly tidied up the woodshed and put two wooden planks onto the firewood pile. It was an uncomfortable night for them.
The next morning, Li Juan stood at the door of the woodshed with a gong. The loud clang frightened Li Xiong and Sun Ying so much that they both rolled off the firewood pile.
The two of them gritted their teeth and sat moaning on the ground. Li Juan was in an extremely good mood when she saw this scene. She just could not bear to see others living better than her. None of the people who harmed her back then could be allowed to have a good life!

Li Xiong stood up with difficulty. His entire body ached from the fall and he seemed to have twisted his ankle. At this hour, even the rooster was not up yet! Li Juan must be taking revenge on them!
“Hurry up and leave. Do you think our house is a free hotel? I’m already being very merciful by taking you in. Leave immediately,” Li Juan said coldly.
As the saying went, to receive a favor was to sell one’s liberty. Moreover, Li Xiong still owed Li Juan. Sun Ying wanted to say more, but Li Xiong stopped her.
“Let’s go… let’s go somewhere else.” Li Xiong endured the pain in his ankle and left Li Juan’s house with Sun Ying.
The two of them stood at the door helplessly and looked around. They knew how to get here, but they did not know how to leave. They were not familiar with this village, so they could only leave in the direction they came from and see if they would luck out and bump into a horse carriage.
In the end, Li Xiong and his wife left Li Juan’s house and paid a sky-high price of five dollars to turn around and head towards Foshan Village. When they first entered their own village, the two of them looked very glamorous. Now that they had suffered over a day and a night, they were so tired that they looked like refugees.
As soon as they entered the village, they attracted Auntie Dong’s attention. How could Auntie Dong miss out on such a thing? Soon, the news spread throughout the entire village.
Li Gui had already recovered. Qiao Mei could not bear to let Li Gui go hungry again, so she secretly asked Zhang Wei to go to her place on time every day to get food. When he went home, he would tell Li Gui that the food was leftovers from Qiao Qiang’s meal. This way, Li Gui would not reject the gesture and she would be able to get through the difficult issue at hand.
“Sigh… Why am I so unlucky to have married a good-for-nothing like you! Now, not only do I have nothing, but I even have to follow you around and be looked down upon by others! What sin have I committed to have to suffer this!” Sun Ying said.
