Chapter 350 Even for the sake of her daughter
The dissatisfaction of the Li brothers, Chao and Wei, was palpable, but Lu Congyue remained indifferent.
He was very assertive, saying directly, "This is my wife's house. You've broken in without her permission and are causing a disturbance. We can sue you for trespassing, and not only Li Weixing, but every single one of you will be in jail!"
Li Chao paused, then retorted, "My mother lives here. We're here to see her. You have no right to sue me!"
"Comrade Jin Guilan is only staying here temporarily; she is not the owner. We can kick her out at any time, or even send her in with us!"
Lu Congyue spoke bluntly, making people feel uneasy.
Not only Li Weixing and his group, but even Jin Guilan panicked.
Li Meihua hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with my mother. It was those few who were unreasonable and forced their way in. Director Lu, please don't take it out on my mother..."
Jin Guilan nervously gripped Zhuang Qingxiang's hand, looking at her with fear.
These days, it's hard to find a place to live if you don't own a house and your workplace doesn't provide housing. She didn't want to stay at her daughter's house, so she was afraid of being kicked out.
Zhuang Qingxiang also squeezed Jin Guilan's hand to reassure her.
There must be a reason why Lu Congyue said that, so Zhuang Qingxiang decided to trust him.
The more assertive Lu Congyue became, the more uneasy Li Chao and Li Wei felt.
They couldn't let Jin Guilan come home to live; their daughter-in-law already had a lot of complaints.
"Mom, say something!" Li Wei urged.
Li Chao's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward, getting closer to Jin Guilan.
"Mom, why don't you come home with me? We can give the job to Xiaona, and you can just stay home and enjoy life."
It was agreed when the money was paid that the job would be given to my wife, so there's nothing wrong with giving it to her a few years in advance.
Li Chaoyue thought it was a reliable idea.
I gave the job to my wife, and let my mom stay home to do chores and take care of the kids. They can come home from work and have a ready-made meal. It's so convenient!
"Brother, what are you saying? How can you give Mom's job to my sister-in-law now? If she does, how will she live? We agreed that Mom would take over the job when she retired, how could you..."
"The job can't be given to the eldest brother's wife!" Li Weixing suddenly jumped out and said urgently, "This job has to be given to Jin Lili, otherwise I'll go to jail."
Yes, that's Li Weixing's real purpose in coming here.
He knew Jin Guilan's financial situation; she definitely didn't have much money. The only valuable thing she had was her current job.
Although it's just a butcher selling meat and the salary isn't high, it's a permanent employee, and permanent employees are so rare these days.
It just so happens that because of him, Jin Lili's whole family lost their jobs, but they didn't blame him at all. On the contrary, they were very considerate of him. Jin Lili was also very affectionate with him. As long as Jin Lili had a job, the two of them could live a good life.
Jin Guilan suddenly realized that they had come to cause such a scene because they wanted her job.
Her two dimwitted sons actually thought the people were really there to ask for money, they were so scared...
Jin Guilan was furious. She looked around, then rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and ran out to fight Li Weixing.
Li Weixing hurriedly hid behind his two sons, shouting, "Jin Guilan, even if you don't think about me, you have to think about the three children. If I really get arrested and go to jail or get shot, they're finished too! Meihua... yes, Meihua has only been married for less than a year. Aren't you afraid her in-laws will divorce her?"
Jin Guilan paused in her steps.
She was completely disappointed in her two sons, and the only one she cared about was her youngest daughter, who would always be on her side. Of course, she was afraid that her daughter would be influenced...
"Mom!" Li Meihua bit her lip and said firmly, "Don't worry about me. If they kick me out because of this, it means this family is unreliable. The sooner the better!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Guilan felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being stabbed with needles.
If the daughter says this, it means that her in-laws really do dislike her.
It's all because of her...
No, it's all because of that old bastard Li Weixing!
Jin Guilan pointed the kitchen knife at Li Weixing; at that moment, she wanted to die together with him.
"Sister Jin, calm down." Zhuang Qingxiang pulled her back in time. "They are pressuring you now because they are getting worse and worse off, while you are getting better and better off, so they want to take a bite out of you. You can't fall for it."
Lu Congyue sneered, "You're all really scheming! Three grown men, eyeing Comrade Jin Guilan's money and job—you're a disgrace to men! Enough said, are you leaving or not? If not, stay here and wait for the police!"
The attitude of Li Weixing and his two sons had long been disliked by the surrounding neighbors, and a young man immediately shouted, "Don't leave, I'm going to get the police right now."
"Thanks, please run faster, don't let them get away," Lu Congyue called out in response.
"Where's the neighborhood director? Don't let these three people come to our alley anymore. They're disgusting people. Don't let them dirty our alley." Someone else shouted.
Li Chao and Li Wei are young and easily embarrassed. They couldn't withstand the pointing fingers and insults from so many people. Just like last time, they couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away immediately.
This time, they were blocked by onlookers.
Li Weixing didn't leave; Jin Lili wouldn't let him go. She had to go to Jin Guilan's job before she could go home, otherwise her parents and brother and sister-in-law would scold her to death.
"Satellite..." she called out playfully, "Without a job, how will we live? I want to spend my whole life with you..."
Li Weixing puffed out his chest and yelled at Jin Guilan, "Jin Guilan, you have to save me even if it's for Meihua's sake, otherwise... otherwise when the police come, I'll sue you for attempted murder."
"How shameless!" Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't help but curse.
He turned around, grabbed a piece of firewood, and was about to hit Li Weixing.
Jin Guilan quickly stopped her, signaling her not to make a move and not to let Li Weixing and Jin Lili get involved.
Zhuang Qingxiang curled her lip and sneered, "This is my house. They broke into my home. If I kill them, it's self-defense. I'm not afraid even if the police come!"
Lu Congyue smiled at her and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with her words.
With Lu Congyue backing her up, Zhuang Qingxiang felt much more at ease. She swung the firewood stick and started smashing it at Li Weixing and Jin Lili, not caring who she hit. As long as she could hit them, she would win.
Sometimes, it's frustrating to waste time arguing; it's better to fight a real battle.
Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly went berserk, catching Li Weixing and Jin Lili off guard. However, they quickly recovered and, seeing that no one was helping Zhuang Qingxiang, the two of them began to fight back.
Just as their fingers touched Zhuang Qingxiang, she suddenly screamed and staggered back two steps. Then, in full view of everyone, she screamed again and slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Qingxiang!" Jin Guilan cried out anxiously.
Lu Congyue rushed over and shoved Li Weixing to the ground, shouting, "Neighbors, who can help hold this woman down? They broke into our home and injured my wife; they're utterly vicious! We can't let them get away!"
