After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 672

672 Laughing My Head Off

Li Xiong looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief and then at the gazes of the people around him. He was a man and could not even win against a pregnant woman!

People would laugh their heads off if word got out!

“Ouch! Ouch! My leg is broken! Ouch! It hurts!!!” Li Xiong held his ankle and wailed.

He decided to make use of the injuries sustained from the fall at Li Juan’s house this morning. Since they had already embarrassed themselves, they might as well go all out and blame everything on Qiao Mei.

!!
Their original intention was to come and get some benefits from Qiao Mei. It did not matter to them what method they had to use.

Sun Ying immediately understood what Li Xiong was doing and hurriedly ran to his side. She said in a panic, “Hubby, where does it hurt! Quick, let me take a look! Ah! It’s all swollen! Don’t tell me the bone is broken!”

Seeing this, Li Xiong lay on the ground and wailed loudly, causing the birds in the forest to fly away in fright.

An old man in the crowd said disdainfully, “It’s just a pretense! How strong can a young girl be! Now that his lie has been exposed, he’s too embarrassed!”

Auntie Dong and Auntie Wang held back their laughter and did not dare to laugh out loudly. Qiao Mei held her forehead and said aggrievedly, “I don’t know what’s going on either. I only blocked him. Why did he fall? I was just trying to protect myself. I really didn’t use any strength!”

“Who said you didn’t use any strength! Look at my husband’s face! There are already five fingerprints! And you still say you didn’t use any force!” Sun Ying said as she pointed at Li Xiong’s face.

In just a short while, one side of Li Xiong’s face was already swollen like a pig’s head and bruises were even starting to show.

Everyone pretended not to see anything and ignored Sun Ying and Li Xiong.

“Is there anything else? You don’t have a pass and yet you come to our village to frame and beat up someone. Now, one of you is even pretending to be disabled. What else do you want? Quickly take your things and get lost from our village!” Auntie Dong shouted at the two of them grandly.

“We’re Li Gui’s second brother and second sister-in-law! Can’t we come and visit her! It’s not like we’re spending the night! What right do you have to chase us away! You’re all covering up for Qiao Mei! I’m going to the county city to report you!” Sun Ying said.

Unexpectedly, not only was everyone unafraid, but they even said in a relaxed manner, “You’d better go now. When the time comes, we’ll say that you come here to cause trouble in the village. Let’s see who gets the short end of the stick.”

“You keep saying that Old Madam Li is your mother, then hand over the money. Your mother borrowed more than 200 dollars from your younger sister! This time, she even cheated Qiao Mei of 50 dollars by pretending to be sick. That’s about 300 dollars in total. It’s not too much for a son to pay his mother’s debt,” Auntie Wang said.

The moment Li Xiong heard her asking him for money, he immediately looked more lively. Suddenly, it was like his waist no longer ached and his legs no longer hurt. He quickly stood up and limped over to everyone as he said, “My mother isn’t dead yet! I don’t have to return this money! My mother can pay it back herself!”

“Weren’t you just saying that Qiao Mei is unfilial? Why are you starting to draw lines with Old Madam Li now? Is it because you’re in the wrong and can’t defend yourself,” Auntie Dong said.

“Back then, my mother forced me to marry into the Zhang family and I accepted it. She kept all the money meant for Qiao Mei for so many years and I accepted it as well. But this time, I definitely didn’t snatch her money. She tricked me into going back. She forced me!” Li Gui said with tears in her eyes.

“Isn’t it right for you to be filial to your mother!” Li Xiong said.

“Then what about you! Why can you cut ties with her! Why can’t I! She even disregarded my daughter’s life just to ask me for money! Why should I care about her!” Li Gui shouted.

Li Xiong had no retort to that and muttered softly, “I don’t care! Now that you’ve beaten me up so badly, I have to go to the doctor!”

Qiao Mei could tell at a glance that Li Xiong’s real intention was not to uphold justice for Old Madam Li at all, but to get money from her.

Those two were really biological mother and son. They had the same black hearts.

“Then how much do you want…” Qiao Mei asked in a pitiful manner.

Without any hesitation, Li Xiong spread out his hand and said, “500 dollars!”

“You can’t win against a woman, and you still want to ask her for medical fees! How shameless! Pfft!” Auntie Dong said angrily.

At this moment, as long as he could get the money, Li Xiong would not take anything others said to heart. Anyway, after taking this money, he would return to the city with Sun Ying and never come back again.

An amount of 500 dollars was enough for their family to live for three to four years! They could buy whatever they wanted!
