This voice, Mengyu had heard for over a decade in her past life. Every time she heard it, she was either beaten or scolded, or even punished by being starved. Therefore, upon hearing this voice, Mengyu felt a fear emanating from the depths of her heart.
Although a lifetime had passed, hearing this same voice again, Mengyu still felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Previously, she had always wanted to ask her face to face â even if she wasnât her biological mother, she was someone she had lived with for over a decade.
She had always tried hard to please her, to make herself more âcapableâ, hoping she would love her as she loved Huaiyu.
It was fine if she didnât love her, but why destroy her?
But now, such words, she couldnât ask anymore. Because she felt that there was no need to ask anymore.
Seeing Mengyuâs trembling body, Gu Dongxing pitied her even more: What kind of abuse had she undergone that merely hearing a voice would trigger such a conditioned reflex?
He quickly extended his warm, large hand and grabbed Mengyuâs small hand.
The warmth transmitted from Gu Dongxingâs hand gradually stabilized Mengyuâs emotions.
Everything from her past life had passed. This lifetime, Li Chunhua could no longer hurt her!
On the contrary, this lifetime, she wanted her to repay the debts she owed!
Inside, Mengyuâs biological mother Leng Xiangyu raised an eyebrow: âBe reasonable? If I wasnât being reasonable, would I even come to find you? My daughter was sold by someone, I could have just taken this to court.â
Li Chunhua choked, what, to court?
She cowered, if this really went to court, she was undoubtedly trafficking humans.
Jiang Haidong rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: âWe are common folk, why talk of court? Letâs discuss this nicely, you want your daughter back, itâs not impossible, butââ
Li Chunhua quickly added: âBut, Iâve raised your daughter for sixteen years, you should give us some compensation.â
Everyone was stunned, what did she mean by this? Asking for money?
âYouâve separated mother and daughter for sixteen years, and you still want money?â
âWell, it takes two to tango, you canât just blame us. If your husband hadnât sold her, we couldnât have bought your daughter, right?â said Jiang Haidong.
âYou, how much compensation do you want?â Leng Xiangyu asked through gritted teeth.
âUh, twoââ Jiang Haidong intended to say two thousand, because the best scenario for keeping Mengyu was receiving a dowry, and typically the dowry for marrying off a daughter then would be two hundred at most; he was asking for ten times the dowry amount, which also seemed fair.
But Li Chunhua interjected: âTwenty thousand yuan!â
A collective gasp of shock was heard: âGaspââ
Twenty thousand yuan!
This was the year 1980 after all, an era where millionaires were rare, and she was asking for two millionaires right off the bat!
Listening to Li Chunhuaâs outrageous demand, Mengyu really wanted to burst in and say she started working at three years old, took on the household chores by five, and even her schooling was funded by money she earned from collecting and selling scraps.
But her hand was held by Gu Dongxing, knowing that now was not the time for her to go in.
Leng Xiangyu said coldly: âHaha, twenty thousand yuan? Youâre actually asking for twenty thousand yuan?
Then come calculate for me, how my daughter has been eating, dressing, using things, studying over the years, come calculate, how did you come up with this twenty thousand yuan?â
In her heart, Li Chunhua was furious, how dare she imply her daughter wasnât worth the money!
But to calculate the cost of twenty thousand yuan, how could she possibly calculate that?
She looked towards Jiang Haidong.
After his wife shouted twenty thousand, Jiang Haidong also frowned. His brotherâs wife had said this woman seemed very wealthy, could it be, all show and no substance?
Would a wealthy person be this stingy?
