My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

But Lin Xiumei knew that force would definitely not work.

She immediately put on a pitiful look, and tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her cheeks and leaving two muddy streaks.

"Qingshan... I know I was wrong before, I know I was wrong."

"But please, for the sake of our past relationship, help me out."

She cried as she tearfully recounted her "grievances" in her husband's family.

She portrayed herself as a pitiful person bullied by a wicked mother-in-law and an abusive husband.

When she got emotional, she even started pounding her chest.

"The Yu family are inhuman! They beat me, cursed at me, and kicked me out!"

"I'm homeless now!"

Among the villagers watching, several kind-hearted older women began to show signs of reluctance.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiumei immediately changed her tone, raising her voice sharply as she pointed at Lu Qingshan with an air of self-righteousness.

"If I hadn't broken off the engagement with you, would you have been able to marry my sister?"

"If you hadn't married my sister, would you have the fortune you have today?"

"Ultimately, your success is partly due to my efforts! You should give me a hand!"

She held up five fingers, her eyes gleaming with greed.

"Give me 80,000 yuan! Give me 80,000 yuan, and I'll never bother you again!"

"Otherwise, you'd be an ungrateful wretch! A heartless man!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Even the kind-hearted old women were stunned, looking at Lin Xiumei as if she were a madwoman.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.

To claim that one's own disdain for the poor and love for the rich is to benefit others, and to attribute others' success to one's own betrayal.

What's the logic behind this?

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lin Xiulan couldn't listen anymore.

Her face flushed with anger, and she clenched her fists, ready to step forward and argue.

Lu Qingshan reached out and gently blocked her way.

He shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to speak.

He didn't want his wife to get involved in such dirty verbal battles.

Looking at her husband's broad back, Lin Xiulan's anger, which had been rising in her head, slowly subsided and transformed into unconditional trust.

She knew her man would handle everything.

Seeing that Lu Qingshan remained unmoved, Lin Xiumei knew that she had to use her last trump card.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"thump!"

Suddenly her knees buckled, and she knelt heavily on the ground.

The hard ground made her knees creak.

She kowtowed repeatedly and forcefully in Lu Qingshan's direction.

His forehead was quickly scraped and bleeding began to seep out.

"Qingshan! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

Her cries this time carried a hint of genuine despair and fear.

"Please, for the sake of us growing up together! For the sake of my parents! Please save me!"

"If I don't get my money back, Yu Gaoyang will beat me to death! He really will!"

"I beg you! I'll do anything for you, even be your concubine! Just save my life!"

She lay on the ground, her body trembling from the intense crying, like a fish abandoned on the shore, making its last hopeless struggle.

The surrounding chatter gradually subsided.

All eyes were on Lu Qingshan.

After all, the person knelt down and kowtowed.

Having gone this far, shouldn't you at least offer some way out?

Lu Qingshan finally spoke.

The voice remained calm, yet it was as cold as the wind blowing from an ice hole in the dead of winter.

"You chose this path yourself."

He looked at Lin Xiumei lying on the ground, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"When you came to my house to break off the engagement in front of the whole village, arguing that my family was poor, why didn't you mention our childhood friendship?"

"When you were jealous of my wife and colluded with people in the county to try and put me in jail, why didn't you speak up for your sister?"

"When you teamed up with Yu Gaoyang to intercept my goods in Hongshitun and then tried to sabotage my business in Baihuatun, why didn't you show any consideration for me?"

With each sentence Lu Qingshan spoke, Lin Xiumei's body trembled.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a series of sharp knives, peeling away her pitiful facade layer by layer, revealing the ugliest and most selfish core within.

"Now that the Yu family has treated you like a useless dog and kicked you out, you finally remember me?"

Lu Qingshan gently shook his head.

"It's too late."

After saying those two words, he didn't look at Lin Xiumei again.

He turned to Scarface Liu, who had been standing respectfully to the side, and gave him a brief instruction:

"Throw her and her belongings onto the oxcart heading back to the county town."

"I don't want to see this person in Hongshitun again."

Scarface Liu had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Upon hearing the order, a sinister smile appeared on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) face.

"Yes, boss!"

He responded and strode forward.

Lin Xiumei screamed in terror and tried to crawl backward using both her hands and feet.

"No! You can't do this to me! Lu Qingshan! You'll die a horrible death!"

Scarface Liu completely ignored her curses and struggles.

He walked up to her, bent down, and lifted her up easily with one hand, gripping the back of her neck like a chick.

Lin Xiumei's legs kicked wildly in the air, and she let out a pig-like scream.

Scarface Liu, annoyed by her noise, covered her mouth with his other hand.

He picked her up and strode towards the village entrance.

It just so happens that their truck is heading back to the county town.

"Wait! Install this!"

Scarface Liu shouted.

Without saying a word, Scarface Liu raised his arm.

"ah--!"

Lin Xiumei's body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily into the truck bed.

With a "bang," it sounded like a tattered sack had been dropped.

Scarface Liu turned around, ran back to the Lu family's courtyard, picked up the new leather bag that Lin Xiumei had dropped, walked back to the car, and casually threw it on.

"Let's go," he said to the driver as he jumped into the car.

The driver had long disliked Lin Xiumei, so he happily agreed.

"Okay!"

He then stepped on the gas and headed towards the county town.

Lin Xiumei's cries and curses gradually faded into the chilly evening breeze as the car drove away.

The world is now peaceful.

The villagers watching this scene dared not utter a sound.

ruthless.

It's too cruel.

This Lu Qingshan showed absolutely no mercy to his former fiancée.

The crowd discussed the matter and gradually dispersed.

The courtyard has returned to its previous bustling state.

Lu Qingshan turned around and walked to Lin Xiulan's side.

Looking at the lingering worry and fear in his wife's eyes, he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and he inhaled the faint scent of soap on her body, his voice low and gentle.

"Xiulan".

"The only person I've ever wanted in my life is you."
