Chapter 452 Evil Retribution
Chapter 452 Evil Retribution
The man hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I'll pay, but big brother, I'm really not crying poor. Five thousand is too much. If I had money, I wouldn't live here. Can you give me less?"
Meng Lieque laughed and said, "It would have been better if you had done this earlier. You have to drink the wine instead of accepting it. Seeing how pitiful you are, I will just take the three thousand."
The woman screamed, "Are you robbing me?"
Meng Lieque smiled and said, "Then it'll be five thousand. If you say one more word, it'll be ten thousand."
Seeing that the police were silent, the family felt that they were in the wrong and were afraid of going to jail, so they had no choice but to agree to pay 5,000 yuan and then hurriedly looked for a place to move.
Three hours later, Meng Lieque called Juzi. When Juzi returned home, she found the house was clean and everyone had left.
Meng Lieque said, "Juzi, take a look at the room to see if anything is missing."
Orange took a closer look and thought that the family might be feeling guilty, as they had only moved in a short time ago and had not dared to throw away their old things. They also did not dare to move the things in the cabinets. They just cleaned them out and put them in the ear room.
Juzi moved all the things back and spread them out on the kang because the clothes were a little damp. Juzi became so sad when she saw her grandparents' old clothes that she burst into tears while holding one of her grandfather's clothes.
All the bedding had been used by that family. Juzi felt sad and angry, and cried again, which made Meng Lieque cry as well.
Before leaving, Juzi and Meng Lieque went to Grandpa Gazi's house. Meng Lieque thanked Grandpa Gazi first, and then handed the compensation money to Grandpa Gazi and said, "Grandpa, we don't come back often. I'll leave a key with you. Can you take time to look after it?"
The old couple said, "Just take care of it, we don't need any money."
Orange said with red eyes: "Grandpa, grandma, you keep it. You are too old to chop wood. Just buy some. My family needs to burn firewood from time to time, and I can't let you spend money. You also know that I am not short of money now. This little money is nothing to me."
Grandpa Gazi said, "It's up to you how much money you have. If you spend five thousand dollars on firewood, it will be enough to burn for ten years."
Orange said with a sigh, "Don't bother with that little word. I told you that you definitely can't take the flowers I gave you, so we said it in a more tactful way. Grandpa and grandma, you know that Lieque and I are both rich, so just keep it if I give it to you."
When they came back, Meng Lieque asked Juzi to ride in the same car with her, and Juzi did not refuse, because they had to visit the graves of their parents before the New Year, and they couldn't be so distant from each other.
And because of the relationship between the two elders, Juzi still feels close to Meng Lieque. Now Meng Lieque knows that there is no possibility for him to be with Juzi anymore, so he suppresses that love deep in his heart and forces himself to treat Juzi as his sister.
Meng Lieque asked Juzi: "Is that family related to Grandpa?"
Juzi shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. That man did call grandpa his cousin. I remember when I was very young, that man came to me once and said his mother was sick and he asked grandpa to borrow 1,000 yuan, saying he needed the money to save her life.
The next day, my grandfather was worried and ran back to the village to check on his son. It turned out that his mother was working in the fields. When she heard that her son was cheating money, she was so angry that she fainted and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Afterwards, the man said it was my grandfather's fault and refused to return the money no matter what.
His mother felt ashamed and somehow managed to collect a thousand yuan to pay back grandpa, but grandpa refused to accept it. Not long after, his mother passed away. Grandpa said that he was mad at her to death.”
