580: A Rich Family With One Hundred Dollars

A Rich Family With One Hundred Dollars

"Tell me! Where's all the money! Where is Qiao Hua! How much money did you give her!" Qiao Zhuang shouted fiercely.2

Liu Ying lay on the ground and looked at Qiao Zhuang mockingly. "Ha, better beat me to death! As long as I don't say anything, you'll never know where Qiao Hua is."

Qiao Zhuang panted heavily and looked around. He had already broken all the things in the house that could be used to hit someone. Only the tools used for farm work were left.

He took the hoe he had put aside and looked at Liu Ying viciously.

"Since you want to die, then don't blame me!" Qiao Zhuang raised the hoe to strike her.

None of the other sons and daughters-in-law in the courtyard dared to stop him. Why would they want to be the one to get hurt in this situation?

Even Liu Ying's husband, Qiao Fu, stood at the side indifferently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him and the person being beaten up was not his wife.

"Wait!" Zhao Liang stood at the door and shouted.

Fortunately, he did not dawdle on the way and had rushed all the way here with Qiao Qiang. Not any later! Liu Ying's life would probably be in danger.

When Qiao Zhuang saw that it was Zhao Liang, he slowly put down the hoe in his hand and said with a long face, "Brother Zhao! You have to uphold justice for me! Our family can't live!"

"What's going on? Why are you using the hoe? We're all civilized people now. It's against the law for you to do this!" Zhao Liang said sternly.

Qiao Zhuang did not understand what was against the law or not. He only knew that although there were laws in this world, but as the elder in this family and Liu Ying's father-in-law, there was nothing wrong with him teaching his daughter-in-law a lesson.

Was this against the law?

"Brother Zhao, what are you saying? How is it against the law for me to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson in my house?" Qiao Zhuang questioned righteously.

"That won't do. It's wrong of you to hit someone! Let's talk things out!" Zhao Liang exhorted earnestly.

Qiao Qiang stood behind Zhao Liang and did not say a word. He looked at everything in front of him calmly, as if what was happening had nothing to do with him.

In reality, other than the blood relationship that he could not choose, the rest really had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe arrived at Qiao Zhuang's house soon with a group of curious bystanders. There were not many people who could afford television sets nowadays. If anything happened to anyone in the village, they would hurry over to take a look. Otherwise, if they missed it, there was no repeat broadcast!

Such an exciting scene did not happen often!

"What's there to say! This woman stole our family's money! And it's not a small sum! Wang Qin, tell us! How much is it!" Qiao Zhuang said as he pointed at Wang Qin.

Wang Qin stammered and said hesitantly, "The box contains the money for our family's living expenses. In total… about 120 dollars."

An amount of 120 dollars! Everyone present gasped. This sum of money was not a small sum in the countryside!

Actually, Liu Ying had no idea how much money was in the box. She had accidentally discovered where Wang Qin had hidden the money and had taken it when Wang Qin was not paying attention.

There was only a handful of money inside. She felt guilty the entire time and did not even count how much money there was. She just took all the money and stuffed it into Qiao Hua's hands so that she could leave quickly.

"Oh my! This Qiao Zhuang's family is quite rich!"

"That's right! I really didn't expect them to have so much money! They have more than 100 dollars for the family's expenses, so how much personal savings does each of them have?"

"A rich family with 100 dollars! It's already a luxury for our family to spend 10 dollars a month! I never expected their expenses to be more than 10 times that of ours!"

"Where does this money come from? I'm so envious."

The villagers discussed among themselves. No one in their family had a job and they all relied on farming for a living. Even if they earned some money, they would go to the black market to sell vegetables like everyone else.

Even if one woke up early and went to work in the dark, one would not be able to earn much money.

Wang Qin was the only one in their family who made the most money and she earned 20 dollars a month.

How could she have 120 dollars a month for expenses? How could Wang Qin manage such a big family and be such a spendthrift?

Qiao Zhuang also started to have doubts, but he had both internal and external problems at the moment. Instead of thinking about this mere 120 dollars, he might as well try to find Qiao Hua and marry her off to the Guo family so that he could get more money.
