Protagonist:

Chai Mi

What is moral kidnapping?

Wang Huirong running to the village entrance to hang herself is naked moral kidnapping.

Chai Mi had never been this angry in her entire life; she almost wanted to go over and strangle Wang Huirong to death.

Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong were really asking for death.

Chai Mi thought that Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong, having no money now, would definitely cause trouble. The first time was Chai Zhongxiao coming to borrow money at midnight, and Chai Mi avoided him by claiming Chai Zhongxiao wanted to cheat her. The second time was Wang Huirong bringing her grandson Chai Dajun to play the emotional card, and Chai Mi hid at her maternal aunt's house, which also passed. Actually, this matter was quite unsolvable; to avoid trouble, Chai Mi could only counter each move and hide whenever she could.

But Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong had completely lost all shame, leaving Chai Mi nowhere to hide.

They really didn't want their face anymore.

The famine was one Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong pulled to build a house for Chai Youde, and now they were saying things like the three sons were unfilial; it was laughable to the extreme.

Sometimes, Chai Mi doubted.

Was this old father Chai Youqing really the biological son of Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong?

Wasn't he fished out of the big river...

Who treats their biological son like this?

Of course, if one looked at Chai Chunfang's fate, Chai Mi didn't think this was an accident.

These two old codgers didn't even care about their own biological daughter's life or death, so harming their biological son was normal.

"Chai Mi, why not go find your father? This matter isn't easy to handle. This Wang Huirong is ultimately an elder, your biological grandmother. Even if she doesn't die, her tossing about is enough to make your father and his three brothers drink a pot. No matter who is right or wrong, outsiders will definitely say: this old woman is about to die, driven to it by her three sons." Su Wan said somewhat helplessly.

"No need." Chai Mi answered coldly: "If my father goes, and he softens his heart, since this is his biological mother, if he agrees to give money, what do I do? Can I eat him or chew him? By then, if I don't take money, my father has no choice, and isn't it still the reputation of being unfilial? Anyway, since we're unfilial anyway, let's just watch Wang Huirong make trouble."

After speaking, Chai Mi caught her breath and forced herself to sit down: "I only insist on one principle: I have no money, I won't lend or give. As for the rest, do as you please. If Wang Huirong dies, I'll at most offer two knives' worth of paper money; I won't give more. She wants to make trouble, but I can't just let her make trouble."

Chai Mi looked at Song Qiushui: "Qiushui, after you've eaten your fill and drunk enough, go find Da Zhi and have Da Zhi drive you to the Xiang to report the police. Just say: someone in our village is gathering a crowd to make trouble."

"Ah... can that work?"

"Is it a matter of whether it works? She is indeed gathering a crowd to make trouble; at the very least, it's picking quarrels and provoking trouble. This matter, we can't handle it. Whoever goes is just watching the excitement and can't manage it."

"Then what if no one manages it?"

"No, since someone is about to hang herself, they'll definitely come."

"Fine." Song Qiushui took another bite of honey, ate a piece of waterless cake, and comfortably patted her belly: "Now I've eaten my fill and drunk enough. Tonight, arrange dinner for me. I've done a great deed today. Stir-fry a few dishes for me; I'll stay home for a few days, and my mom won't even cook for me..."

Chai Mi smiled and said it was fine: "You... I reckon it's not that your mom won't cook for you, but that you can't get up yourself. Your mom fears waste, so she didn't bother to stir-fry dishes."

Chai Mi understood the Meng clan; Song Qiushui said she wanted the moon, and this couple would both go pick it. Let alone eating a meal; it must be that this fellow Song Qiushui didn't sleep at midnight, didn't get up in the morning, and slept like a dead person at noon, leading to not eating enough.

Song Qiushui pouted her lips, then set off.

After Song Qiushui left, Chai Mi thought for a moment and still said to her mother Su Wan: "Mom, no matter what happens today, you still shouldn't appear. I'll handle everything."

Su Wan was somewhat uneasy about Chai Mi: "Chai Mi, this matter isn't easy to handle. Wang Huirong is roasting our family over a fire; no matter what we say or do, it's wrong. Sigh... whether I go or not is unimportant; what's important is that this matter is too difficult for people. Wang Huirong really isn't a decent person."

Chai Mi also deeply understood the stakes.

It's said that if a person is shameless, they are invincible under heaven.

That's true.

Wang Huirong pulling this stunt means that no matter the result, from now on, Chai Mi and Wang Huirong and Chai Zhongxiao will be irreconcilable. Of course, Su Wan was right; this matter indeed put Chai Mi over the fire to be roasted. Whether Chai Mi went or not, it would actually have a very great impact on Chai Mi's family.

The problem was that Wang Huirong had now completely lost all shame, making her a bit difficult to deal with.

Of course, the one being roasted by the fire wasn't just Chai Mi's own family; Chai Mi felt it would be better to first go ask Chai You Fu next door.

As for Wang Huirong, let her make trouble there for now.

If she has the ability, let her not wait for the big fellows to come; if she's bored with nothing to do, let her hang herself on a southeast branch.

Did Wang Huirong just want to deliberately make things difficult for her two sons? Then let's see if these two sons agree to be deliberately made difficult.

And didn't Wang Huirong just want money?

Want money? There's none. Want a life? Here's one.

Chai Mi felt that even if she sent her old father and Second Uncle away, it was impossible to give Wang Huirong a single cent...

When Chai Mi went to Chai You Fu's house, people on the street were in a hurry, and from time to time someone would stop to chat with Chai Mi, even thoughtfully telling her: Your grandmother seems to have had an accident; she's under the big willow tree at the east of the village...

Chai Mi perfunctorily left quickly, not giving that crowd of onlookers time to continue speaking.

When she reached Chai You Fu's house entrance, the courtyard was quiet as a mouse, with no movement at all; only two not-too-big dogs heard the movement and barked wildly at the door.

Chai Mi glanced inside; the windows had curtains drawn.

The person should be in the room.

Chai Mi wasn't afraid of Chai You Fu's dogs; she directly opened the courtyard gate, holding a stick, and gave the dog that wanted to pounce a blow on the head.

The dog, in pain, wailed and ran away.

"A thing that relies on people's power, daring to bite even me; you're really tired of living. One day I'll catch you two and stew dog meat."

The dog didn't hear Chai Mi's low-voiced scolding; it had long since run away without a trace.

Chai Mi entered the courtyard, walked to the window of the house, and knocked on the glass.

But no one answered.

However, movement could be clearly heard inside the house.

Chai Mi knocked on the window again and said: "Second Aunt, you say you're pretending not to be home, but you're pretending too much. Drawing curtains in broad daylight—isn't that a bit like adding feet to a snake? You'd be better off hiding outside than this."

Rustling sounds came from inside the house.

After a while, Chai You Fu was heard pretending to yawn, speaking in a half-asleep state: "Ah... Chai Mi is here... I fell asleep... I've been too sleepy these past two days..."

A moment later, Chai You Fu Chai You Fu opened the house door fully dressed, then revealed an awkward yet still feigned smile: "Ah...... hahaha, Chai Mi ah, it really is you. I was just sleeping and felt like someone was calling me in my dream. Didn't expect it really was you. Come in quick, come in quick...... what have you been busy with lately?"

"Second Uncle, your dream is really accurate, truly dream of what comes what. Dreamed of me, I came." Chai Mi said with a half-smile, mocking: "Second Uncle, you say you dreamed of my Grandmother taking a rope to your father-in-law's house doorway that Big Willow Tree to hang herself ah?"

Chai You Fu's face color instantly stiffened up. He stammered, held it in for half a day before saying: "This...... how is this possible?"

"Really didn't dream it?"

"Really didn't."

"True or false?"

"True!!!" Chai You Fu swore solemnly.

Chai Mi coldly laughed as she entered the house: "Hehe, Second Uncle, do you think I believe you?"

Chai You Fu embarrassedly accompanied a smile, not daring to speak.

How could Chai Mi possibly believe his ghost words.

The light inside the house wasn't very good. Song Qiuping was also fully dressed lying on the Kang, covered with a quilt, a small towel still covering her forehead. She closed her eyes, mouth going aiya aiya softly groaning, seemingly quite ill.

Actually, Chai Mi also saw it.

Song Qiuping indeed "quite ill."

Hot weather feigning illness is one thing, but also shutting the windows, drawing the curtains, covering with a thick quilt. If not sick, lying half a day would make you sick.

Chai Mi saw through what these two meant. That is feigning illness at home, hiding and not going out. That way no matter what others say, they both have an excuse. Anyway I'm sick, I don't know......

"Alright Second Aunt, aren't you afraid of the heat. Shutting windows and covering with quilt like this, later don't get heatstroke." Chai Mi smiled looking at Song Qiuping: "It's been over half an hour already. The whole village up and down, even a rat knows. You two feigning death at home is useless right."

"What...... I don't know." Chai You Fu continued playing dumb.

"Can't hear, can't hear. Ears not working lately, got internal heat, can't hear anything......" Song Qiuping also played dumb.

"Alright alright alright. If you two are like this, I'll just leave. Let me tell you two, this matter our two families aren't consistent. Don't let it get messed up later. If I accidentally take thirty-five thousand out. Then if Second Uncle you don't pay, the whole village will only laugh at you yourself. Anyway I'm not short of money recently. Worst case I'll bite the bullet and put some out. My dad is the big head, takes lead giving the Old Wu Zi some money. Then you brothers not paying, also can't be justified right." Chai Mi stepped back one step, taking the opportunity to look like she was leaving: "Kill enemy one hundred, self damage one thousand kind of thing, also not impossible to do."

Chai Mi this counter-move, immediately Chai You Fu and Song Qiuping both stopped pretending.

Song Qiuping sprang up with a teng: "Can't give, not one cent can give. Your family wants to give money, how does my family handle it?"

Song Qiuping also not stupid. Now Old Man Wang Huirong over there wants to hang herself suicide. If Chai Mi gives money, then she Song Qiuping doesn't give. In case Wang Huirong really hangs dead, that responsibility becomes hers.

So Song Qiuping directly blocked: "Chai Mi, are you confused. How can you give that old undying money? Did you forget what they two did?"

Chai You Fu face full of embarrassment, not daring to raise head, also not daring to lower head. He finally bit the bullet and said: "Song Qiuping, you this no-quality Old Lady, how can you say my mom is old undying? Watch me today not beat you dead......"

Words spoken thief righteous.

But, Chai You Fu person yet thief soft.

Didn't move at all.

Whole body up down, except mouth hard, all soft: "Song Qiuping, I tell you. That's my mom...... my mom even has ten thousand wrongs, you also can't say her like that!!!"

"Fuck your mom, just your mom that bear appearance, shameless to whole Yingzi going to deliberately make things difficult you. Every day seeking death not living not hanging then drinking medicine. You still say me." Song Qiuping hearing Chai You Fu's words, anger not from one place: "You go out ask around. Which family old woman fifty-sixty years old, this shameless? Which family mom shameless to want to hang to threaten her son? Having such mom, better die early, make room for good people."

Chai You Fu still wanted to retort something. But one look at Song Qiuping's killing intent eyes, immediately didn't speak.

Moreover, he also really just mouth saying saying only.

One is Chai You Fu fundamentally at home words don't count. Two is Chai You Fu also feels Wang Huirong this matter done disgusting.

Birth mom goes hang, still grandly openly. This is deliberately making things difficult him ah.

But Chai You Fu still no method. Can only feign death, feign not knowing.

Chai You Fu and Song Qiuping actually from start knew this news. Even not later than Chai Mi. After all Wang Huirong went hang suicide place, precisely Da Lao Song family doorway. That is Song Qiuping's Mother's Family doorway. Da Lao Song early sent people tell Song Qiuping. And repeatedly urged: You this time must not be the bird that sticks its head out. Honestly at home feign death is fine.

So, Chai You Fu and Song Qiuping together feigned death.

Didn't expect, Chai Mi came.

Song Qiuping scolded a few more sentences. Then to Chai Mi seriously said: "Chai Mi ah, this matter I tell you. Your dad that how thinks, you don't mind. Our two families, must unify pace. Both pretend not see. Your Grandfather few days ago still said your Second Uncle. Saying what our family built house time, he borrowed loan. That pure fart. Me and your Second Uncle married seventeen eighteen years before. His that famine was first few years Chai Youde built house time made out. Money, all let Chai Youde spend. Why now ask our two families? This money, if I spent, I spend how much return him how much. Problem I didn't spend ah......"

Chai Mi smiled: Chai You Fu and Song Qiuping should also have spent this money.

Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong borrowed loan, not one sum but many many sums that kind. Today borrow thirty, tomorrow borrow fifty, day after tomorrow borrow several hundred.

Afterwards became interest rolling interest. Interest turned into principal. Year after year, rolled into astronomical figure.

But this astronomical figure, not one day borrowed out. Was borrowed many many times.

Because at that time Credit Union not standardized. When lending, also forced hard. Plainly said just lending people every way coax you loan go. More loan better.

And many years before, all receipts and signatures, very convenient to forge. Regardless what guarantor signature, or other Official Seal type, all can make out. Lending people just open one eye, close one eye enough.

And at that time lending people, precisely Chai Family Clan people. Is Chai Zhongxiao own branch Second Uncle's daughter——Chai Shulan.

If not for Chai Shulan doing one extension after another. Plus rolling interest into principal. Chai Zhongxiao even if heaven big ability, also not that possibility borrow out so much money come.
