Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 301 - 300 Get Out Quickly

Lin Aiguo bluntly interrupted her, "Who’s more ruthless, huh? This is my son and daughter’s home. Lin Qiang wanted to burn down the home of my own flesh and blood. Should I help him, who isn’t even my own child?"

Lin Aiguo didn’t even want to deal with Qian Chunli anymore, but considering the neighbors were the future in-laws, and Lin Qiu’s mother-in-law was still like that, he never voiced these thoughts.

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu were left at a loss for words, yet they couldn’t just give up.

They went to the small shop across the street.

Wang Lan initially thought they came to shop. She was quite enthusiastic until she heard they were Lin Xia’s stepmothers. After looking them up and down, she impatiently shooed them away,

"Hurry up and leave! If I hadn’t happened to hear the noise last night, my house might have burned down! My old Sun still has a stomach ache from being beaten!

As for how your son is sentenced, that’s the police’s business! If you come here again, wailing and whining, I’ll call the police!"

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu were rudely pushed out of the house by Wang Lan.

The two stood at the doorway, fuming inside, yet they dared not utter any offensive words.

Qian Chunli, for her son, really could give up all dignity. She put on a smile, "Sister! Look at what you’ve lost, we’ll compensate you generously! Please, do us a kindness, I beg you... have mercy on a mother!" she said, and once again, tears flowed down her cheeks.

Lin Aiguo’s heartlessness and Lin Xia’s ruthlessness were deeply etched into Qian Chunli’s heart, hoping for a day when she could retaliate.

Wang Lan turned her eyes around, "How much can you compensate me?"

She also knew from filing a police report that compensation was calculated based on the assessed damages.

Her shop had indeed been tossed into a mess, but those two boys hadn’t managed to steal everything before they were discovered, so there wasn’t significant loss.

Qian Chunli dared not underreport, "Fifty! Is that acceptable?" Her monthly salary was only about sixty or seventy yuan, and there were no serious losses on the other side; she felt that this was quite a fair amount.

Wang Lan, clearly knowing there wasn’t much damage, but thinking about the unforeseen expense of installing security bars, she demanded exorbitantly, "They turned my place upside-down, and my old man was beaten; I need at least two hundred!"

Qian Chunli clenched her teeth, knowing the other party was extorting her, but she couldn’t afford to lose out over a small amount.

"Fine! We’ll accept the loss of two hundred! But I don’t have that much money on me right now. I’ll bring it to you tomorrow!"

She had hidden her money at home, and in her rush today, she hadn’t brought much, knowing that Lin Aiguo, despite his wealth, wouldn’t give her any.

If the other party agreed, she would even give three hundred, let alone two hundred!

Wang Lan was delighted to see her agree so readily, but she thought to not count her chickens before they hatch; she couldn’t easily drop the charges.

"Then wait until you bring the money!"

Across the street, Wu Zhenghong and Old Mrs. Wu were standing at the door, watching the excitement for a long time.

Even though Lin Yu had cried until her eyes were red, Wu Zhenghong still recognized her as one of the odd women who had come to her store for a haircut that day, the one who was accompanying her.

She had a great memory for faces.

So that means, the one who got a perm that time with Lin Xia’s stepdaughter was Miao Xue?

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu thought they had persuaded Wang Lan, so they exchanged a look and then entered Lin Xia’s yard.

Lin Xia came out of the house with the installation worker.

Actually, she had heard the commotion between Qian Chunli, her daughter, and Lin Aiguo while still inside the house and deliberately didn’t rush out because she didn’t want to deal with them.

Qian Chunli, pulling Lin Yu along hurriedly, ran up to Lin Xia. A deep hatred flashed in her eyes, but right now, she was solely focused on resolving her son’s issue—how could she be distracted by anything else?

"Lin Xia, I beg you, please have mercy and let Lin Qiang off this one time! I promise you, he will never dare to cause you trouble again! Your neighbors across the street have all agreed!"

Lin Yu’s lips moved, but she couldn’t utter a word to plead with Lin Xia. She hated Lin Xia to death and would never have come to her house if there had been any other way!

Lin Xia coldly watched the mother and daughter, recalling how they had troubled them time and again, and now they were tearfully begging her for mercy.

"Begging me is useless! The police have a say in this matter! You better leave my house quickly; you’re not welcome here!"

Despite her overwhelming hatred for Lin Xia, Qian Chunli dared not show it on her face, instead she had to adopt a pitiful demeanor and plead.

"Lin Xia, why can’t you just have a little mercy? If you go to the police station and have the case dropped, then my son, Lin Qiang..."

Lin Xia, losing patience, interrupted her, "Why should I do that? Lin Qiang almost burned down my house; why didn’t he think about the consequences before he acted? You better leave now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"

She scoffed. They’re crying now, but a crackdown is starting soon; they have more tears to shed later!

Qian Chunli collapsed onto the ground, getting all dramatic, "If you don’t agree to let my Qiangzi off, I’m not leaving today!"

The moment Qian Chunli started making a scene, Lin Aiguo stepped forward and slapped her twice, then kicked her twice, yelling, "You shameless old woman! Coming here making trouble! Get lost now!"

Creating such a scene in front of him, how would people look at Lin Xia and the others now?

Lin Xia watched indifferently as Lin Aiguo hit Qian Chunli. His actions didn’t move her; after all, Lin Aiguo had hit her mother too in the past—it was just a turn of fortunes for different people now.

Qian Chunli, covering her face and sobbing, cried out, "Oh Lin Aiguo, you hit me! What did I do wrong? My son is locked up, everyone across the street agrees, why can’t she just let us off..."

Even now, she didn’t think her son had done that much wrong; she only saw Lin Xia as cold-hearted and inhumane.

"Your son got himself locked up! Did I tell him to steal? Did I tell him to kill and set fires? Get lost now! Or I’ll really cut you!" Lin Aiguo was genuinely angry and kept hitting Qian Chunli as he spoke.

"Mom, let’s go!" Lin Yu, sensing trouble, knew that a wise man does not eat the food of danger. She hastily dragged Qian Chunli out of the yard.

Qian Chunli’s crying and howling alerted the nearby neighbors, and several neighbors who were at home came out to watch the drama unfold.

When the neighbors heard from Wang Lan, who came out from the convenience store, who the person was, their initially sympathetic feelings faded.

She seemed pitiful begging and weeping now, but who would they have turned to if their houses had burned down?

The neighbors gathered together and whispered among themselves, naturally including the presence of Old Lady Wu.

Today, she really got an eyeful; the Lin family surely had no shortage of drama!

This stepmother wasn’t a pushover either; it was good for Lin Xia and her family to have moved out on their own. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu still left anyway, as it was useless trying to argue with Lin Xia and Lin Aiguo...
