“You good-for-nothing! You still have the cheek to come back! Do you know how humiliated your younger sister and I were when we went to the Xia family’s place today! Do you know how that family treated us!” Old Madam Kong said angrily.
“Who says you can go and look for Xia He!” Kong Lu looked at Old Madam Kong in shock and questioned her.
“If I don’t go and look for her, am 1 supposed to wait for you to do it? It’s all your fault, you piece of trash. If you have managed to win back Xia He again, I won’t be in such a difficult situation now!” Old Madam Kong said as she sighed.
Kong Lu did not say anything. He was already numb to the antics of this family. Even if Old Madam Kong told him that she wanted to marry an old man, he would not find it strange.
Old Madam Kong scolded him for a long time before she stopped. She looked at Kong Lu in disdain and said, “Give me another 100 dollars. Your two younger brothers don’t have any money left and can’t even afford to buy food. You should help them out.”
“l already gave them money last month. 1 only have four dollars left now. I
haven’t received this month’s salary, so I don’t have any money to give them,” Kong Lu said.
“You don’t have money? If you don’t have money, then think of a way to get some! Go and borrow money from Xia He! If you can hold on to Xia He, will we still need to live like this? Look at the house that she lives in. It’s such a big house and there’s enough space for our entire family!”
“What? What are you talking about? How can you have lost your job?” Old Madam Kong asked in surprise.
“It’s all thanks to you. The Xia family and Sun Fei from downstairs went to my superior to report all those things you did! My position has now been taken over by someone else! Are you satisfied now? From now on, I’ll just go home and farm. I want to see what else you want to do next,” Kong Lu said.
“Then what about your younger brothers!” Old Madam Kong shouted agitatedly.
“You should be glad that the Xia family is merciful. They only have to stay in prison for a few years. Just the fact that they tried to abduct a girl! That’s enough for them to be executed 800 times!” Kong Lu said.
In this era, anyone who molested a girl would be arrested and deemed to be a hooligan! If one went around kissing a girl! One could get the death penalty!
Furthermore, Kong Lu’s two younger brothers had bullied more than one girl!
The Xia family was already very benevolent. Otherwise, it would already be the third death anniversary for Kong Lu’s two younger brothers!
Kong Lu left the capital dejectedly with Old Madam Kong and Kong Li. Xia He could finally get a good night’s sleep. Recently, Qiao Mei had stayed by Qiao Qiangs side every day and observed his emotions carefully. When she was sure that he could face the Gao family’s grandfather-and grandson duo calmly, she gathered everyone together so that she could tell them about what happened back in the past.
Qiao Mei also asked Xu Lan and Xia Wen to join them. She needed to let the Xia family know what was going on and did not want to hide anything from them..
