Chapter 394 -394: The Wicked Accuse First
“I’m telling you, Fang Xiaoshan, my daughter hasn’t come back, yet you’re still asking me for someone? I should be the one asking you! Hand over my daughter, did you do something to her? Give me a straight answer!” Hao Fang wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Now that the village chief was present, she immediately started jumping up and down, pointing at Fang Xiaoshan’s nose and cursing.
Liu Baoguo glanced at Fang Xiaoshan! No matter what, he couldn’t just stand by and watch the Bai Family get beaten up; that definitely wasn’t acceptable.
“Let everyone go! If you have something to say, say it nicely, don’t think we are easy to bully. Bai Mei hasn’t come back at all. You come demanding a person without even asking around?” Liu Baoguo’s intervention was inevitable.
The loan sharks immediately let go; it was different when someone dared to step in. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
After all, this was the village chief, they couldn’t stir up trouble here.
“What about it, village chief? If you are in charge, then good, let the Bai Family hand over my wife. A perfectly healthy person took six hundred from our home and vanished without a trace. Are the Bai Family trying to scam me into marriage? Today, if you don’t hand over the person, not even the king of heaven can help you.” Fang Xiaoshan let loose, now completely bereft of money and people, how could he not be anxious?
The loan sharks were there to take someone, so naturally, they wouldn’t cause a scene, standing aside and backing up Fang Xiaoshan.
“Yeah, hand the person over.”
“She must have taken the money and run off with some wild man, right?”
Several thugs had already released Bai Jianguo, Bai Shan, and Bai Zhuang, and the three men immediately took cover behind Liu Baoguo. They had just taken a beating, and the Bai men were not the sort to lead the charge; now, they were huddling behind the village chief, dirty and disheveled, with Bai Jianguo so angry his nose was almost crooked.
In his life, he had never been humiliated like this.
By now, he knew in his heart that Bai Mei had probably really run away. It wasn’t without precedent; she had already stolen money from the family home once before, when things were unhappy with Fang Xiaoshan.
Fang Xiaoshan beat Bai Mei often, having even caused her to miscarry twice. Now that Bai Mei had taken the money and run, it really was something she could do.
But even if Bai Jianguo knew this in his heart, he absolutely wouldn’t admit it now. If he did, with the way Fang Xiaoshan was acting, he would certainly extort money from them. The family was already living a difficult life. Ever since Bai Xiao and others had left, the old lady’s control over money had reached an obsessive level, and Li Chunhua really didn’t treat them politely at all.
Even though Li Chunhua still treated her son well, doting on him heart and soul, there was no money, no grain, and certainly no chance of a house to be had.
In short, the old lady had become utterly fixated on money now.
She didn’t recognize any family relation.
Bai Zhuang’s marriage had also plunged them into debt. So, to the death, they could not admit that Bai Mei had run away. They had to insist she was harmed by Fang Xiaoshan; only that way they could turn defeat into victory.
“Village chief, you must stand up for us. My daughter has disappeared without a trace, and Fang Xiaoshan is acting like a thief crying ‘stop the thief.’ My poor daughter, you have to bear witness for me. Our Bai Mei was a well-behaved and honest child, but now she’s gone just like that after marrying into their family. We’re going to sue them—this is a case of plotting for wealth and causing death. And they’re trying to pin the blame on my daughter. Fang Xiaoshan, you cursed wretch, may you be struck by lightning! Give me back my daughter’s life!” Bai Jianguo immediately began cursing; even the way people in the village looked at them now had changed.
Yes, in their eyes, Bai Jianguo had always been a solid, honest, straightforward man, and now look what’s happened: he started jumping around and cursing like the village shrew.
This was enough to make everyone’s jaws drop.
