Chapter 65 Why is this wife so attractive to everyone?
"These are funds involved in the case and must be confiscated!" The middle-aged policeman didn't waste any words with her and stretched out his hand to ask for them.
"No way! This is my daughter's money for selling herself... no, her dowry! I'd rather die than give it to her!"
Niu Guihua plopped down on the ground, which was covered in chicken droppings and dust, kicking her legs wildly and clutching her bulging bra pocket tightly to her chest.
"Damn it! The police are robbing me! Is there no law anymore?! This is my lifeline for getting my son a wife! If anyone dares to touch my money, I'll smash my head against this wall and die!"
She howled and spat on the middle-aged policeman's trouser leg, shaking her head like a rattle drum, her messy hair flying everywhere.
The surrounding villagers gathered in circles, but no one went up to pull him away; they all just stood there grinning and watching the spectacle.
Niu Guihua is usually very competitive and domineering in the village. Who hasn't suffered at her hands?
Today's karma has brought a sense of satisfaction to everyone.
I wish I could buy two pounds of sunflower seeds and eat them while watching.
"Obstructing official duties and resisting law enforcement, do you want to go to jail with him?"
The middle-aged policeman's face darkened, and he placed his right hand directly on the gleaming black holster at his waist, his voice rising an octave: "Take him away too! Let's see who's tougher!"
The moment the word "go" was uttered, two young policemen stepped forward, their gleaming handcuffs flashing coldly in the sunlight.
Niu Guihua's mournful cries were like a rooster being choked, and she fell silent instantly.
She glanced at the dark holster, then turned to look at Zhang Xiangui, whose face was pressed against the jeep window and distorted by the weight of the glass, now forced into the back seat of the jeep. Her body trembled violently.
Money is important, but if you go to jail, you'll lose everything.
"I'll give it to you... I'll give it to you, okay...?"
Niu Guihua trembled as she reached her hands into her bosom.
The movements were so slow, it was as if someone was cutting her flesh piece by piece with a knife.
She pulled out that stack of ten-yuan notes, still damp with sweat and body heat.
The young officer snatched the money, not caring that it was dirty, counted it on the spot, and put it directly into a transparent plastic evidence bag.
In that instant, Niu Guihua's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her triangular eyes staring intently at the bag of money, her eyeballs almost bloodshot.
"Money...my money...that's three hundred yuan..."
Muttering to himself, two streams of turbid tears flowed down his wrinkled face, washing away the grime and creating two deep furrows.
This time, everything fell apart, and they lost everything.
The jeep started up, and a thick plume of black smoke billowed from its exhaust pipe, kicking up the yellow dust on the ground and causing those around to cough.
The car quickly drove away, leaving only the hand-held tractor with its exhaust pipe bent askew, sitting alone in the middle of the road, and the mess in the yard.
In the heart of the chaos, Li Xianglian remained standing still, without even moving her feet.
As she watched the jeep drive away, her tense shoulders slowly slumped down.
She let out a soft breath.
The man didn't lie to her.
When the sky fell, someone actually held it up for her.
The crowd outside the wall hadn't dispersed yet, whispering amongst themselves, even more excited than when slaughtering a pig and dividing the meat during the Lunar New Year.
"See that? This is retribution! Selling one's own daughter to this extent, even God can't stand it anymore!"
"Now look what's happened! The money's gone, and they're smeared with the reputation of failing to sell their daughter. The Li family's name has been completely exposed in the surrounding area!"
In a corner of the crowd, Li Weimin stood there dumbfounded.
His usually timid little eyes suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented ecstasy!
They've been arrested!
That damned Zhang Xiangui has been arrested!
This means the marriage is off! Xianglian won't have to marry that butcher!
Li Weimin was so excited that he trembled all over, and his heart was pounding wildly in his chest.
This is amazing!
This is an opportunity that God specially prepared for Li Weimin!
Now that Xianglian is divorced and her reputation is ruined, and Zhang Xiangui has fallen from power, as long as he scrapes together some money and sends it over, even a small amount, Niu Guihua will have no choice!
"Mother! Mother!"
Li Weimin could no longer contain his joy. He turned around, pushed through the crowd, and, not caring that he had lost a shoe, ran barefoot like a madman towards his home.
"Mother! Quickly, give me the money! I want to get married! I want to marry Xianglian!"
He ran very fast, his mind filled with Li Xianglian's beautiful face.
He felt this was the closest he had ever come to happiness in his life.
Li Weimin's mad figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the village road, raising a trail of fine yellow dust.
The crowd outside the courtyard wall hadn't completely dispersed yet; everyone was still pointing and gossiping about the farce that had unfolded in the Li family's courtyard, spitting everywhere.
On the outermost edge of the crowd, behind an old, crooked willow tree that would take two people to hug, Qin Rushan leaned lazily against the trunk, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
Those wolf eyes, which were usually half-closed, opened a crack at this moment, revealing a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.
He stared at the direction where Li Weimin had disappeared, his brows furrowed tightly, and a sour feeling welled up inside him, like a spilled jar of Shanxi vinegar.
This is fucking weird.
Qin Rushan spat out the grass root in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Having just kicked out that hypocrite Zhao Gang, they went to great lengths to set a trap for that pig butcher Zhang Xiangui, finally managing to remove these two mountains from their grasp.
Before they could even catch their breath, another toad popped out.
Who exactly is this Li Weimin?
He's a notorious coward in Xiahe Village. He's in his mid-twenties and still follows his mother around like a shadow. He's a coward who avoids even female dogs.
How dare such a thing covet Qin Rushan's beloved?
He still needs to go back to get money to marry Xianglian?
"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"
Qin Rushan reached into his pocket and touched the matchbox, intending to light a cigarette, but when he took it out, he found that the box was already flattened.
He gripped the box tightly in his hand and slowly applied pressure until the cardboard box was completely deformed.
Why is this wife so attractive to everyone?
If it were up to his old temper, he would rush out now, drag Li Weimin back and beat him up, then carry Li Xianglian away, crippling anyone who dared to look at her.
But reason told him that rushing in now would only add fuel to the fire for those gossipy women and wouldn't help Xianglian in the slightest.
"Let you jump around a little longer."
Qin Rushan released his grip, letting the deformed matchbox fall into the grass.
"I want to see who else is so fearless as to dare to lay a hand on me."
……
In the courtyard, Niu Guihua's wailing gradually subsided.
Only when the dark green jeep completely disappeared at the end of the dirt road, and even the exhaust fumes were blown away by the wind, did Li Laogen, who had been hiding behind the door of the main room, peek out like a mouse that had come to life.
He clutched the long-extinguished tobacco pipe in his hand, first glancing nervously out of the yard to make sure the uniformed men were really gone, before straightening his hunched back a little.
Li Laogen walked up to Niu Guihua, who was still pounding her chest and stamping her feet on the ground, kicked a pile of sunflower seed shells, and looked extremely bitter and resentful.
"Stop wailing! They've vanished without a trace! Now everything's clean—no money, no one's been sent away, how are we supposed to live? How are we going to cover Da Bao's dowry debt?"
Niu Guihua was crying her heart out when she heard these words, and her crying stopped abruptly.
She wiped away the snot and tears from her face, and sprang up from the ground in a flash, her movements so swift that she didn't seem like a limp old woman at all.
"How do I fill it out? You old geezer, how dare you ask me?"
Niu Guihua slapped Li Laogen's hunchback hard across the face, making him stagger. "When that guy was pointing a gun at my head and robbing me, were you a dead man? You didn't dare utter a sound! You cowered behind the door like a coward! What are you trying to prove to me now?"
Li Laogen shrank back after being scolded, but didn't dare to dodge. He just pointed to Li Xianglian by the wall with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid of getting shot too... I'm asking you, what should we do with this girl? Zhang the butcher is in jail, so the marriage is off."
"Yellow my ass!" Niu Guihua spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground.
She turned around and stared intently at Li Xianglian, who hadn't uttered a sound from beginning to end, as if she were staring at livestock waiting to be slaughtered, completely disregarding Li Xianglian as a human being.
"As long as the goods are still in our hands, we're not afraid of not finding a buyer!"
Niu Guihua gritted her teeth, "There are plenty of bachelors around here who are short of wives! If it's not Zhang the butcher, there's Wang the Cripple, Zhao the Pockmarked! Even if it's a cripple or an idiot, as long as you can afford it, I'll send him away today!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her mind racing with calculations: "Not only do I have to sell, I have to raise the price! That three hundred yuan I lost earlier, I absolutely have to get it back from the next buyer, with interest! I see that old widower in the next village has quite a bit of savings..."
