Chapter 265 I Wish You Were My Grandparents

The villagers, who had originally thought that asking someone to take out fifteen taels of silver was a bit excessive at once, finally reacted.

Didn't they steal the ten taels? Why are you pretending?

The Zhao family felt that they had never felt so aggrieved.

Although they didn't know where the ten taels of silver had gone, all the evidence pointed to them.

I wanted to say it wasn't them, but it seemed like everything had already been decided. If I said another word or two, I would be taken to the government office.

Mei'er refused to listen to any talk. As soon as the Zhao family started to nag, she would ask everyone to take them to the county government office.

The Zhao family has completely lost their temper.

"Mei'er, then let them release us first, and we will go home to collect money." Zhao Tiansheng had no choice but to compromise.

"No, my grandma has to go get the money. You can't leave for now. As soon as the money is in our hands, we will let you go immediately."

"you......"

Old man Zhao wanted to curse at first, but when he saw Mei'er folded her hands over her chest and looked like she would be taken to the authorities if she said another word, he lost his temper.

"Okay! Go ahead and give me your milk!"

Zhao Tiansheng almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"Old woman, go home and get the money."

"Old man, are we really going to give it to this little bitch?" Old Mrs. Zhao glared at Mei'er fiercely.

"Go quickly!" Old man Zhao closed his eyes.

What else can you do? Either go to jail and pay money, or just pay the money. Anyone would know which to choose.

Old Mrs. Zhao stomped her feet hard, turned around and trotted towards home.

Looking at the receding figure of Old Mrs. Zhao, the family felt like eggplants hit by frost, having lost all their strength.

I don't understand why I had to pay fifteen taels of silver for no apparent reason when I clearly came here early in the morning to get some benefits.

And what about the ten taels of silver? What’s going on?

But it didn't allow them to figure out the reason.

Soon, the figure of Old Mrs. Zhao appeared in everyone's sight.

"Here! Fifteen taels! Can you let us go?" Old Mrs. Zhao threw a purse at Mei'er's feet viciously.

Mei'er didn't care and bent down to pick it up.

"Don't be impatient! Grandma, I haven't checked the goods yet. What if you pack a bag of stones?"

"You..." Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her chest hurt.

Mei'er slowly opened her purse and poured out the silver.

They were all small change, but the amount was sufficient, and it was obvious how much effort Mrs. Zhao had put into saving this money.

But what does that have to do with her?

Mei'er put away the silver and said, "Grandma, your family is quite wealthy."

"Stop talking nonsense to me and just tell me if it's okay. If it is, let them go immediately!" Old Mrs. Zhao simply didn't want to see Mei'er again.

"That's enough, let them go." Mei waved her hand.

"Let me go!" Old Mrs. Zhao rushed over to look at Zhao Xiaobao first.

The grandparents and grandchildren started to cry, as if they had suffered some kind of injustice.

No wonder he is Jin Sun, he is different, he can take fifteen taels of silver without any emotion after taking it.

Mei'er curled her lips sarcastically and didn't want to watch anymore.

"Okay, grandma. If you want to sing, go home and sing slowly. Since you have returned the money, we will not keep you here. You have been delayed for the whole morning and we haven't had any food yet. Please take care."

After this experience, the Zhao family knew that Mei'er was no longer the same Mei'er. They did not dare to say anything more even when hearing her ridicule. They supported each other and walked away without looking back.

Watching the Zhao family walk away, Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful for the villagers' help today.

"My dear uncles and aunts, thanks to your generosity today, the three of us sisters were able to escape the clutches of those people. We three sisters would like to thank you here. But our house is really in a mess. Once the house is cleaned up, we will come to thank you again."

Mei'er and Xing'er bowed deeply to the villagers.

"Hey, Mei'er, what are you talking about? Haven't your mother and your aunt helped the village enough these days? We are not blind."

"Mei'er, relax. If you have any problems in the future, come to me. Although I don't have any special skills, I still have a lot of strength."

"That's right. If we don't help you, who will? Your grandparents are not good people. Don't be angry. Take the money and go to the county town to see a doctor. You can't leave scars on your body."

"Especially your sister. I saw your grandma beat her to death with that stick. We need to go to the city to check it out."

......

The villagers were not good at speaking, but they racked their brains to find ways to comfort Mei'er with the simplest words.

Mei'er and Xing'er thanked the villagers one by one and sent them away.

The morning's farce finally came to an end.

Mei'er let out a breath, her body softened and she fell to the ground.

If Xing'er hadn't been following her and lending a hand to help her, she would have probably fallen to the ground.

Old Mrs. Chen hurried over and helped to support Mei'er with a concerned look on her face.

"Good boy, you suffered, you suffered."

She knew that Mei'er was just holding on for dear life. If she collapsed, the family would be wiped out by the Zhao family.

Tao'er was beaten so badly that she was still lying on the bed unable to get up. Xing'er was still young and had no idea what to do, so she couldn't rely entirely on Mei'er.

Although the village chief and the others were there, they were not their family after all. It would be fine if they just helped out, but if they rashly intervened and made decisions, it would be unjustifiable and people would gossip about them.

Mei'er leaned on Mrs. Chen's shoulder, her eyes moistened: "Grandma Chen, it's okay, it's all over."

But there was one more thing she didn't say -

How I wish you were my grandparents.

"Dashu, Erhe, are you okay?" The village chief looked at the two boys.

Dashu patted the dust off his body and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, these are just superficial injuries, nothing serious. Erhe, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. How could those two lazy guys have any strength? Their two moves were like tickling. You guys are here today, otherwise I would have beaten them to a pulp...hiss!"

Erhe waved his fist to show off his small body, but accidentally pulled the wound and gasped in pain.

"Alright, alright, you're covered in wounds but still trying to show off!" Old Mrs. Chen glared at Erhe unhappily.

"I'm glad you're okay. I think you only have superficial injuries. But we still have to go to the city to check it out just in case. Erhe, go and ask Uncle Youwang to hitch up the car and take you to the city to check it out." The village chief arranged.

"No need, this injury is nothing." Erhe waved his hand indifferently.

"You little rascal, you are tough so you don't have to be afraid. You went to the city mainly to show Mei'er and Tao'er. This Hou guy is really heartless. He can be so cruel to his own granddaughter."

Old Mrs. Chen looked at the injuries on the two children and couldn't help but curse again.

"Grandma, let Erhe take Tao'er and Mei'er to the city to have a look. Hui Niang and I will clean up at home. We also need to ask Uncle Li to rebuild the gate."

Dashu missed his home and didn't want to go to the city.

"You go too. We have so many people here, there's no need for you to worry about anything. Don't worry about your family, your grandma and I will take care of it, just go with peace of mind."

"Dashu, you can go with them so that you can take care of the two younger sisters. I will take care of the house for them." Hui Niang also looked at Dashu worriedly.

Since they all said so, Dashu couldn't refuse.

"That's fine. I'll ask Uncle Youwang to prepare the food, and we'll go to the city soon. Hui Niang, take Sanni and the others to cook. Village chief, grandpa, grandma and you can also have something to eat at home."

"Don't worry about us. We can just go home and get some. You guys can quickly grab some and go to the city." Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand.

"That's right, I think your grandma has taken care of it at home, so you don't have to worry about it." The village chief also said.
