Chapter 297 7 Era 2

It took a long time for someone to react and come forward to persuade her, "Hanlu, what are you doing? Put down the knife immediately."

"That's right, that's right. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

The situation remained deadlocked for a few minutes before the secretary and some people from the Zhang family came over.

The secretary stepped forward and said, "Hanlu, if you have any problem, just tell me and put the knife down immediately. If anything happens, your father will cry to death."

Lan Hanlu's face was cold, but the knife in her hand didn't move at all. Seeing that everyone was gathered, she said loudly, "I'm fine. I just want my mother to get some money quickly. I want to take my father to the city for surgery."

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Li Cui simply quit. "What money? Money? Do you know how much the surgery costs? I'm not going to live for his family anymore."

Lan Hanlu stared at her with a cold light in his eyes, causing her voice to gradually weaken. Lan Hanlu spoke in a deep voice.

"I don't want to live anymore. I think you don't want to live anymore. I'm telling you, if you can't come up with this money today, none of you will be able to walk out of this door intact."

Then she looked around and said, "Today, all the young and old men in our village are here, so I will have a good talk with you.

My father's monthly salary is 34 yuan, not counting the usual allowances, various bills and annual bonuses. This adds up to more than 6 yuan a year.

If you count from the east end to the west end of our village, even if the most capable family has eight or nine strong laborers, which one can get this money?

Now my father’s leg is injured and he needs money for treatment. You told me that you have no money. I want to ask you where the money went?

How much have you spent on me since I was a child? Let's calculate it again. Let's calculate how much you have spent on Zhang Cai.

Zhang Cai's surname is Zhang, not Lan, and his son's surname is Zhang, not Lan. Even you, Li Cui'er, watched Zhang Cai beat me, his own daughter, to death without doing anything in order to avoid treating my father's illness.

So you are not from our Lan family either.

Twenty years ago, you married my father with Zhang Cai. Since then, have you ever worked in the fields? Have you ever earned a single grain of food for the family? You, the Zhang family, have been living off my father's wealth, and now you want to kill us both.

Could it be that my father raised this bastard from the Zhang family, married him off to a wife and had a son, just to make him the last of the family? It really goes like the saying, like a dragon gives birth to a dragon, like a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and like a mouse's son will dig holes, and the Zhang family will be the last of the family.

"Shut up! Why don't you mind your words, little girl?" An old man spoke after hearing what Lan Hanlu said.

The old man was hunched over, leaning on a cane, looking at Lan Hanlu with anger on his face. This man was the oldest man in the Zhang family.

Zhang Cai wanted to call him Sixth Grandpa, because it was this man's son who tried to occupy the only two remaining earthen houses in his family.

Later, Li Cui married her father. Fearing that she would be bullied without her natal family, she put aside her past grudges and reconnected with the Zhang family. Naturally, the Zhang family was not happy to have a relative who was on the payroll.

As for why Li Cui did not win over her natal family but the Zhang family, in her mind, the Zhang family was the root of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family would always be on her side.

But she was a girl who was married off to the Li family and was like spilled water. Lan Hanlu had also lived in this era, but she also did not understand her thoughts.

Lan Hanlu looked at the old man with even more sarcasm. "What's wrong with you, Old Zhang? You're so rude! Didn't you wipe your mouth after using the restroom? It's true that when the tiger's away, the monkey becomes king. You're pretending to be the boss here, but I'm not one of your family, Old Zhang."

"You, you, you..." He was so angry that his hands were shaking and he kept saying "you" for a long time without saying anything. Then he turned his hand and pointed at Li Cui.

"This is the girl you taught. This is the upbringing of the Lan family. They are also a family of martyrs! You actually scolded me like this in front of me. You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all."

Lan Hanlu didn't tolerate him when he said this. "Shut your stinking mouth! You're the one who made your fortune by eating up all your family's wealth! You're not worthy enough to talk about our Lan family! The word Lan even sounds dirty when you say it. What's wrong with me scolding you? If you can't hear clearly, I can carve it on your tombstone.

No matter how bad our family's upbringing was, we never let our children be raised by others, and we never did things like pick up the bowl to eat and put it down to curse our mothers.

If you have time to talk about good manners, go back and take care of your own family. If you can't sit still, go back and build some more soil and get some more sleep. Don't just do nothing all day long."

The old man was so angry that he grabbed a boy and said, "Erdan, go report this unfilial and unbrotherly man to the police and have him arrested."

"Oh, go ahead. Zhang Cai and Li Cui committed murder for money. Let's see who gets arrested. They even use the police to scare me. I'm telling you, even if the Jade Emperor comes today, you'll have to pay me the money right away.

If anything happens to my father." She glanced around with a cold glint in her eyes as she said this, "As long as I, Lan Hanlu, live, I will make sure your Zhang family is expelled from this village."

The people in the Zhang family were frightened by her eyes and words, and the timid ones even took a step back.

Lan Hanlu looked back at Li Cui and said, "Since you won't do it, I'll do it myself." She dragged the sobbing child into the east room.

The main house is a large three-room building, facing south. The kitchen is right at the entrance, and to the right is the east room, usually occupied by the elderly, and to the left is the west room, usually occupied by the younger generation.

Some families who don't have the means have seven or eight people, young and old, living on one kang. They build wing rooms for their things, and the walls of the side used as a warehouse are thinner.

On one side was Lan Hanlu's room, a rare sight here, and this was Lan Dacheng's insistence. Li Cui had been grumbling about the construction of this room for half a year.

Because the houses people live in not only need thicker walls and roofs, but also need to burn stoves and heat kangs in winter. Not to mention earthen bricks and other things, a lot of firewood alone will be consumed.

But Lan Dacheng felt that since he could only earn money from this girl, he could not live worse than Zhang Cai.

Lan Hanlu came in and glanced at Lan Dacheng. His complexion had improved a lot and his breathing had become more stable.

Then he climbed onto the kang and cut off the lock of the kang cabinet with a kitchen knife. Li Cui heard the noise and quickly crawled in.

Seeing this, she wanted to rush forward even more. Lan Hanlu slashed at her with a knife. The knife passed in front of her eyes and finally left a wound on her arm.

As a killer in his previous life, he could still control the force and angle, but in the eyes of others, Lan Hanlu chopped Li Cui without any care.

But because her arms were too short to reach the target, the knife scratched Li Cui's arm right next to her face. Li Cui was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

Then a hot stream passed through, and the smell of urine rose up. Seeing this, no one dared to come in.

Lan Hanlu turned around again, cut the old-fashioned small lock, opened the cabinet door, and swept her mental power inside. She directly pulled out several bundles and took out an iron biscuit box from a corner.
