Chapter 206 I'm Not Willing

A woman who isn't ruthless won't have a stable position!

"I, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to!" Xu Laidi flung away the hand that was grabbing his collar from Aunt Xu, took two steps back, turned around and knelt in front of the brigade leader. "Brigade leader, I don't want to! They want to marry me off to that scoundrel! I don't want to, I don't want to!"

"Alright, child, get up quickly. We don't do this kind of thing these days. Don't be afraid, so many uncles and elders are here to stand up for you!" Li Cuie quickly squeezed past and helped Xu Laidi up. "Don't worry, child, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do."

"Xu Lai..."

"Shut up, you old hag! If you dare utter another word, believe me, I'll send you and your good-for-nothing son to the hospital today!" Li Cuie shoved Xu Laidi into Liu Hongying's arms, who had just run over, and then turned to point at Xu Da Niang. "Xu Hongying, you'd better take a good look at your son. If you keep babbling, your son won't need to be sent to the hospital; he can just be sent up the mountain."

I don't know if this couple truly loves their son or if they're just pretending. They even have time to whine and complain. If it were her son, she'd sell the house and land to pay for his medical treatment first; she wouldn't have time to scheme against her daughter.

The man with the leprosy face in the crowd also looked very unpleasant. It was originally his mother's idea to take a liking to Xu Lai Di. He didn't like that kind of woman who had nothing, was dry and boring, and would only marry her to keep her to serve him.

But being rejected in public made him feel very embarrassed. He glared at the Xu family members and then turned and pushed through the crowd.

Xu Hong and Xu Laosan rushed back to Xu Jiabao's side. Seeing their son's complexion getting worse and worse and that he had started to develop a high fever, they were so frightened that they started howling again.

At this moment, Zhou Jianwei suddenly rushed over, glanced coldly at Xu Jiabao on the ground, and then turned to the brigade leader and shouted, "Uncle Wei, you must not lend money to Xu Jiabao. Even if it's work points, it must be offset on the spot. Don't let them drag it out."

Wei Zhongping frowned slightly. Ever since Zhou Jianwei was dismissed from his position as a scorekeeper after that incident, he had been staying at home all day and hadn't come out for a while. Now, looking at this kid...

With a stubble beard, a pale face, and hair that looked like a bird's nest, his once handsome appearance now looked decadent, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"What exactly happened? Why did you come here?" Secretary Lu frowned, looking at his nephew with a serious expression.

After the incident, Secretary Lu found out the very next day that it was all his sister's dirty trick that Zhou Jianwei had come up with. Not only that, she even tried to drag his family into it. From then on, Secretary Lu never paid any attention to his clueless sister again.

“Uncle Wei, Uncle. Xu Baoqiang was gambling outside and owed more than two hundred yuan in just two nights. Last night, he not only refused to pay back the money but also injured someone outside. He was clearly being retaliated against or beaten by debt collectors. This has nothing to do with our brigade and has seriously damaged our brigade's reputation. Such a person does not deserve the brigade's assistance, let alone borrow public funds from our brigade.”

"You're talking nonsense, that's impossible!" Aunt Xu looked at Zhou Jianwei in shock and anger, as if she wanted to rush up and scratch his face until it was covered in welts.

"Whether I'm lying or not, just look at this and you'll know!" Zhou Jianwei took out a piece of paper from his pocket, spread it out, and then held it up in front of the brigade leader and Secretary Lu. "This is the IOU I found. It clearly states when and where Xu Baoqiang borrowed money to play cards after losing. It not only has Xu Baoqiang's signature but also his fingerprint. If you don't believe me, you can compare them."

Bai Nuo stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look at the IOU with curiosity.

What a coincidence!

"Second Brother?" Bai Nuo turned to look at Fang Meng.

Fang Meng chuckled softly and whispered in the girl's ear, "The IOU was found by An Yun's side. I put it next to Zhou Jianwei's pillow last night."

A smile flashed in Bai Nuo's eyes as she tilted her head back and asked in a low voice, "How did you know Zhou Jianwei would definitely come over?"
