571 Chitchat
Qiao Mei’s face was filled with sadness. She was not worried about Qiao Yu’s safety, but she felt sorry for those girls who died. She did not expect Old Man Guo to be such a cruel person.
What a beast! He was worse than pigs and dogs!
“Mei Mei, you’re still concerned about their family! Don’t you know how badly your mother and grandfather were bullied by their family when you weren’t around!” Auntie Wang said angrily.
Qiao Mei looked at everyone in puzzlement. Her family had not told her about this and all she knew was that Zhang Qian had come to ask for money.
!!“What happened?” Qiao Mei asked anxiously.
“They did not do anything to your grandfather, but it was just that Qiao Zhuang’s family members came around to say that they can’t afford to buy food anymore. After that, your grandfather often went out and did not stay at home, so they gradually stopped coming. However, your mother…” Auntie Dong hesitated to speak.
Everyone knew what happened to Li Gui. If it was any of them, they would not even want to stay in this village anymore. They did not think they could be strong enough to endure it.
“Wang Qin often uses her authority in her position to deduct work points from your mother. To be honest, the amount of work your mother does in the fields is not any less than my husband, but she only has half the amount of work points. Your mother has a soft personality and doesn’t dare to confront others, so she has tolerated it until now,” Auntie Dong said.
“Sometimes, they will even deliberately cause trouble in the area that your mother is in charge of and mess up the land. All these will be recorded on your mother’s account and she will have to bear all the responsibility,” Auntie Wang added.
Everyone chimed in and told her everything about how Qiao Zhuang’s family bullied Li Gui. Some of these things she heard had actually already crossed her mind, but she did not expect Qiao Zhuang to be so unscrupulous.
Now that her stomach was getting bigger by the day, she could not go to their house to demand an explanation for Li Gui like what she used to do in the past. Qiao Zhuang’s family was not like Zhang Qian’s family who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Qiao Zhuang’s sons were not people to be trifled with. If they could use their fists, they usually would not waste their breath on you. If they got physical with Qiao Mei, she would be the one at a disadvantage.
“Mei Mei, bear with it for now. You can settle this matter later,” Auntie Dong whispered.
She was also concerned for Qiao Mei. The most important thing now was for Qiao Mei to give birth safely.
