Chapter 143 It was clearly an act
"If you want money, why don't you just pay me back?" Cheng Baichuan couldn't understand how this had anything to do with refusing to help someone in distress.
"Ha!" Li Wanqing snorted coldly, "Can't you see that she wants us to give her money?"
Cheng Baichuan suddenly realized that he hadn't thought of that.
“That’s his own brother, what’s wrong with giving him some money?” Liu Yufen said matter-of-factly.
She raised Cheng Baichuan for almost thirty years, so why can't she say that?
Li Wanqing said quietly, "There's no money. Don't forget, we've severed ties."
For money...
It's truly remarkable that Liu Yufen, a rural woman who has never even left the county seat, could travel so far and go through so much trouble.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yufen burst into tears again. "Third brother, your father and I raised you with great difficulty, and it's only 2000 yuan. Please help your brother out."
Cheng Baichuan took a small step back. In the past, he might have paid the money out of consideration for his parents.
But that's impossible now.
“I’ve sent enough money home over the years. This 2000 yuan isn’t a small amount, but you can afford it.”
Liu Yufen was stunned for a moment, "Where would we get any money at home? Your wife took it all!"
She does have money, but it's their life savings.
Since the third brother is alive, he should pay for it.
Li Wanqing gave a speechless look. She realized she had been too soft-hearted back then; she should have taken all the money.
"Mom!" Cheng Baichuan shouted coldly, "It's clearly written on the severance document that Wanqing took 1000!"
Liu Yufen choked, realizing she had forgotten about that.
"No matter what, the family has no money. He's your older brother, so you have to give him money." Liu Yufen threw a tantrum and acted shamelessly, determined to get rid of Cheng Baichuan.
Li Wanqing remained silent, saying that the Cheng family should handle their own affairs, and that taking money was out of the question.
Even after Liu Yufen's throat was parched from all the talking, Cheng Baichuan still didn't budge.
Li Wanqing suddenly asked, "Auntie, why didn't you go see that cousin?"
Liu Yufen didn't react for a moment, "What aunt? Where did this aunt come from?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yufen came to her senses and looked at her with surprise, "How did you know you had a cousin?"
She never mentioned it to that bitch.
Li Wanqing looked at her with a half-smile, "Not only do I know, I also know that there's something going on between you and her."
Liu Yufen immediately tensed up, "What's going on between us? Besides, there's no aunt at all. Who told you that nonsense?"
Cheng Baichuan raised an eyebrow. His wife already knew that the "aunt" was a human trafficker.
Why ask this at this time?
And then there were his mother's contradictory statements and nervous expression... Cheng Baichuan's face immediately turned serious.
"Mom, why would you associate with human traffickers?"
Liu Yufen hurriedly waved her hand, "No, I didn't. Your wife is talking nonsense."
"Nonsense?" Li Wanqing sneered. "You're not thinking of selling Nuonuo, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yufen became even more nervous. Seeing Cheng Baichuan's increasingly cold expression, she had no idea how to hide her true feelings.
He just kept saying "no, no," but Cheng Baichuan naturally didn't believe him.
Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Liu Yufen closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground.
......
Li Wanqing glanced at Cheng Baichuan, "It's your own mother, you decide what to do?"
"But there's one condition: we can't live in the courtyard."
She was going to pick up Nuonuo in a little while, and if Nuonuo saw Liu Yufen, she would definitely be frightened.
Cheng Baichuan nodded. "I'll settle her in the guesthouse first."
Li Wanqing glanced at Liu Yufen, who was pretending to be unconscious on the ground, and then went out the door.
Liu Yufen's arrival might be an opportunity, whether it's about child trafficking or Cheng Baichuan's identity, it could be a breakthrough.
By the time Li Wanqing brought Nuonuo back from the Liang family, Cheng Baichuan had already left with Liu Yufen.
"Nono." Li Wanqing squatted down and gently pressed her shoulder. "Mom has something to tell you."
Nono blinked at her, then nodded.
“Grandma is here!” Li Wanqing said.
Upon hearing this, Nono's pupils contracted, and she instinctively trembled.
Li Wanqing gently hugged her, "Don't be afraid, Nuonuo. Now you have your dad and mom, and we will never let grandma hurt you."
Nono took a deep breath and quietly felt the warmth from her mother before gradually coming back to her senses.
"Mommy, is Grandma still going to sell me?"
Li Wanqing felt a pang of pain in her heart, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and said softly, "No, she wouldn't dare!"
Nono breathed a slight sigh of relief. That's good!
What about Grandma?
"Dad took her away." Li Wanqing led her to wash her hands. "Mom will take you to wash your hands, and then we'll make dinner!"
Nono nodded obediently, but there was still a hint of worry between her brows.
Li Wanqing knew she was still scared, but she had to explain this to her daughter.
After all, Liu Yufen was still in the military region, and it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't run into Nuonuo someday.
If Nono were completely unaware and suddenly encountered this, that would be even more frightening.
Cheng Baichuan took Liu Yufen to the health center, and Meng Renjie was extremely surprised when he saw her.
After finding out the reason, she looked at Cheng Baichuan with dissatisfaction.
"Your mother is suffering from a sudden surge of anger; simple medicine won't work. She needs acupuncture." As he spoke, Meng Renjie pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into Liu Yufen's philtrum.
"Ouch!" Liu Yufen jumped up in pain. "You quack doctor, are you trying to kill me?!"
Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly. He knew Liu Yufen was faking it, but these words were still too harsh.
Meng Renjie said calmly, "The situation is critical. If I don't wake you up, you'll probably be paralyzed for life."
Liu Yufen spat, "She's just putting on an act, what's the big deal!"
However, she dared not say these words, for fear that the third brother would send her back to Shou County.
She hasn't received the money yet.
"If you don't believe me, you can touch the area under your cheek and see if you feel a soreness or pain," Meng Renjie said quietly.
He looked completely serious, as if he hadn't heard Liu Yufen's vicious words or seen her disgusted expression.
Liu Yufen touched her cheek with some skepticism and indeed felt a soreness and pain, which immediately made her panic.
"How could this be?"
She was clearly faking it!
Liu Yufen hurriedly pulled Cheng Baichuan, "Third brother, Mom doesn't want to be paralyzed anymore, you have to help Mom get treatment!"
Cheng Baichuan rubbed his forehead slightly. Meng Renjie and his wife were indeed uncle and nephew; they both loved to scare people.
"Mom, that's fine. I'll take you to the guesthouse, and I'll take you to the train station tomorrow."
Liu Yufen held onto him tightly, "No, I won't leave unless you give me the money."
That was her main purpose in coming here!
