Chapter 7: Getting The Dowry Back

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhang Xiulan carried the wailing Chen Chunsheng and ran back. Chen Chunsheng did not get to eat the chicken, so he struggled and screamed as he slapped his mother. Seeing that it was useless, he used his nails to dig at the flesh on Zhang Xiulan’s neck and pull the hair on the back of her head. He wriggled like a slippery fish. When Zhang Xiulan felt the pain, she accidentally let go.

Chen Chunsheng fell straight down and rolled twice along the road. The corner of his eye hit a sharp stone and blood flowed.

Zhang Xiulan was frightened and she trembled as she picked up her son. When she saw that Chen Chunsheng couldn’t even open his right eye, she was instantly alarmed. She muttered, “Don’t be afraid. Mom will send you to the hospital immediately.”

As she spoke, she turned around and rushed out, but she bumped into Li Zhimin’s mother.

Seeing the fierce look on Old Madam Wang’s face, Zhang Xiulan had no intention of arguing with her. She lowered her head and quickened her pace, but was stopped.

Old Madam Wang glanced at the crying Chen Chunsheng and said gloatingly, “is he blind?”

“Nonsense, Chunsheng is fine.” Zhang Xiulan shouted, “Don’t block my way.”

Old Madam Wang said, “I can let you leave, but you have to return the dowry to me first.”

Zhang Xiulan was overwhelmed with anxiety. She quickly said, “Ask Chen Baiyi for the dowry. We’ve already severed ties. The money is with her.”

Old Madam Wang did not believe it. How could someone as mean as Zhang Xiulan give a thousand yuan to Chen Baiyi?

Seeing that she was still blocking the road, Zhang Xiulan said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the village chief. You can also ask Chen Baiyi. She’s living at the old residence now. You can see her directly if you go.”

Old Madam Wang gave her a skeptical look, but Zhang Xiulan was in no mood to explain further. Zhang Xiulan ran towards the hospital. Old Madam Wang turned around to go to the Chen family’s old residence.

If Zhang Xiulan was lying, she could just come over again.

At this moment, Chen Baiyi was eating chicken at home.

She only ate one meal that day. After she finished it and took a break, she felt invigorated again. She was lying on the bed and thinking about what to do next when she heard Old Madam Wang’s voice at the door.

She got up immediately while thinking that she should install a door. The door being wide open was unsafe.

Old Madam Wang walked in and was shocked when she saw Chen Baiyi walk out of the room. “Is what Zhang Xiulan said true? You guys really severed ties?”

Chen Baiyi nodded. “That’s right.”

Old Madam Wang had a sharp nose and immediately smelled the aroma of meat. She said, “It seems like you have money to eat meat. Why don’t you return my thousand yuan dowry first?”

Chen Baiyi said, “I don’t have that much money.”

Old Madam Wang had already guessed that she couldn’t take out that much money. She smiled and said, “It’s fine if you don’t give it to me. There’s another choice for you — go to the Li family’s chicken farm and work for ten years. This debt will be written off after that.”

Ten years!

Chen Baiyi was shocked by her exorbitant demand. Even a farmer who worked in the fields could save up a thousand yuan a year by scrimping, let alone a worker in the city. The average salary was more than a hundred yuan a month. Old Madam Wang actually wanted to use a thousand yuan to buy ten years of her life.

Chen Baiyi rejected her on the spot. “No.”

Old Madam Wang got an idea and said, “There’s another choice. Why don’t you marry Zhimin’s uncle?”

Chen Baiyi snorted. Old Madam Wang was quite scheming. Chen Zhimin’s uncle was in his forties, and he was a mental retard with an IQ below that of a ten-year-old!
