Chapter 1641: Invest in Me, I Guarantee You Won't Lose

~4 min read 800 words

As the woman's voice fell, an elderly couple ran out of the courtyard: "Liu Laosan, Wei Ruhua, how are you?"

At this moment, people from every household who had been hiding indoors also came out.

Song Dainiang, fearing trouble, called out to the neighbors: "Everyone, lend a hand and get these people to the hospital quickly."

But after she spoke, no one moved.

The Wei couple who had run over saw their daughter's condition and were directly terrified.

Ge Pozi's face flashed with anxiety: "I beg everyone to help my daughter Wei Ruhua."

Someone said with difficulty: "Your second daughter-in-law said that whoever dares to help Wei Ruhua again will be taken into their home; who would dare to help now?"

Song Dainiang also knew what everyone was worried about; it was just that a few days ago Wei Ruhua had been beaten, and the medical expenses for bandaging her wounds at the hospital had been advanced by the Gu family from the front street, and they still hadn't been repaid.

She sighed; after all, it was a human life: "Ding Yi, pull your cart over; everyone lend a hand to send them to the hospital first, and I will follow."

They were old neighbors who had watched Wei Ruhua grow up; even though they feared the Wei family's unruly second daughter-in-law, the crowd still lifted the person onto the cart and sent them to the hospital.

They knew that now in the old Wei family, the second daughter-in-law had the final say; the family's financial power had been in her hands not long after she married in.

If Song Dainiang did not go with them today, the old couple probably wouldn't even be able to scrape together the medical fees.

Liu Chuxue helped lift the person onto the cart, did not go with them, and stood there listening to the neighbors talk about the old Wei family, one saying this and another saying that.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them."

The old Wei family had three sons and two daughters; Wei Ruhua was their third child.

She had two older brothers above her, and a younger brother and a younger sister below her; when every family had to send someone to the countryside, the Wei family's eldest son had just gotten married, and the old couple couldn't bear to send their unmarried second son to the countryside, so they sent their third daughter, Wei Ruhua, who had just graduated from junior high, to the countryside.

Afterwards, no one knew what the old Wei couple were thinking; they were extremely picky about the eldest daughter-in-law who had just entered the house, and after the second daughter-in-law married in, they became even worse.

They literally forced the eldest son to have a cold heart; even if he had to leave with nothing, he still wanted to move out with his wife.

As a result, not long after the eldest couple left, the second daughter-in-law revealed her true nature; not only did she take control of the family's financial power, but she also almost caused the younger brother and younger sister to drop out of school.

When Wei Ruhua returned from the countryside and saw this situation, she wanted to speak up for her parents, but she was dealt with by the second couple working together; the Gu family from the front street had been kind, but the Wei family refused to handle the treatment fees they had advanced.

The Wei family's second daughter-in-law said: "Wei Ruhua's household registration is not on the Wei family household register, so she doesn't count as a Wei family member; ask whoever you spent the money on to get it back from them."

She also put it out there that whoever wanted to help Wei Ruhua should take her into their own home.

So, today no one dared to help.

In these years, no family had an easy life, and no one wanted to be a foolish good Samaritan.

Liu Chuxue thought this matter would just pass and had nothing to do with her.

Who knew that early the next morning, that Miss appeared outside her front door, looking completely weak: "Comrade Xiao, may I come in and say a few words to you?"

Liu Chuxue originally didn't want to get involved in this idle matter, but that Miss said: "Invest in me; I guarantee you won't lose."

This was not something a Miss of these years could say; Liu Chuxue stared at that Miss for a long time, seeing that although her face was pale, there was not only light in her eyes but also confidence.

Liu Chuxue couldn't help but form a guess and pretended not to understand: "Invest in me? What does that mean?"
