I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 130 - 127: Wu Cuilan’s Wild Scheme

Wu Cuilan didn’t know why, but as soon as she met Jiang Mingyue’s eyes, she felt a chill go through her.

But as soon as she thought about the money spent by her little nephew and the threats from her third brother, Wu Cuilan immediately perked up.

"Jiang Mingyue, you impostor, it’s you who harmed Tiantian. How can you bear to hurt such a small child? You’re worse than a pig or a dog. If Shen Fanghua doesn’t give me a satisfactory answer today, do you believe I will burn down this new house of yours?"

Jiang Mingyue’s eyes narrowed slightly; she hated being threatened by others the most.

Shen Fanghua saw the entire family of the second house coming to pressure her, and her heart was desolate beyond words. She couldn’t understand why her husband’s family turned out to be like this.

Shen Fanghua: "What kind of response would satisfy you?"

Wu Cuilan felt as if she had Shen Fanghua in her grip and immediately grew smug.

"Not much. Tiantian suffered such a great deal, and we spent some money at the hospital. I’m not asking for much: with the nutrition expenses included, just give me three hundred yuan. And the one hundred yuan and ticket that my Beihua was blackmailed out of by your daughter last time, you need to return those as well."

"What else?"

"Also, the tricycle you ride and the children’s bicycle Xiao Ran rides should both be compensated. Give the tricycle to Mrs. Jiang, and let Tiantian play with the children’s bicycle. Moreover, the old house is too dilapidated, and it’s not decent for Mrs. Jiang to live in it. You should swap with this house, and your family should move into the old house tonight."

"Anything else?"

Wu Cuilan felt sure that Shen Fanghua was afraid of them because her son had become the secretary. It’s true that those with shoes are afraid of those without, she thought, growing even more proud.

"Additionally, you must arrange for Jian Guo to give Beihua an accounting job in the village, let Beiyang become a scorer, have Beishan and Hehua be warehouse managers, and appoint me as the women’s director. You must agree to every one of these demands, or I will report Jiang Jian Country for corruption and spread rumors that you don’t respect your elders. At that time, don’t say that Jian Guo can’t keep his position; even your four children’s marriages will be hindered by your reputation, unable to marry or be married off."

"Is that all?" Perhaps Wu Cuilan was too delighted, as she didn’t notice that the last inquiry was not made by Shen Fanghua.

"That’s all for now."

Jiang Mingyue laughed and loudly ordered, "Yun Di, open the gate."

"Swish!" The tightly closed, two-meter-high sunflower stalk fence at the entrance opened, and a large group of people suddenly flooded into the yard. When Wu Cuilan and her group saw the face of the person leading them, they immediately froze.

Jiang Mingyue smiled and addressed the newly arrived person: "Elder Cousin Granduncle, you all just heard it too. Wu Cuilan is making trouble without reason, inexplicably demanding from our family like a lion. She even wants to force Jian Guo to employ their entire family. Our Jian Guo is not Sun Heqing; this is not just bullying, it’s pushing our whole family to the brink! I beg you, Elder Cousin Granduncle, to stand up for our third house."

The Elder Cousin Granduncle nodded, his face grim as he turned to Old Mrs. Jiang: "Xu Feng, look at the kind of daughter-in-law you’ve brought up. Isn’t there any shame? If we hadn’t happened to overhear, we wouldn’t have known what kind of people you’ve been fostering. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Wu Tiantian was bitten by a snake, and you have the nerve to claim compensation from the third house? And to make so many unreasonable demands, where’s your conscience?

I remember now, you have none."

"Jiang Zhenghui, watching as your wife leads the charge while you hide behind without saying a word, do you think you can escape responsibility that way? I’m telling you, this makes you the worst of all. As the head of the family, you tacitly allow your wife to run amok and create trouble. You not only fail to stop her but let her impose false accusations on the third house for compensation. Where’s your dignity?"

Jiang Zhenghui wore an apologetic face: "Elder Cousin Granduncle, I have none."

"What do you lack? Do you lack the incitement to bring them to the third house for extortion? Or were you not involved at all? Jiang Zhenghui, it’s said that one’s nature is apparent by the age of three, and the ancients did not deceive us. When you were little, you were a narrow-minded, lazy glutton, and you’ve grown up to be the same. I won’t waste words on you today; the witnesses will step out."

Then barefoot doctor Old Liu put down a basket of herbs and stepped forward.

"Xiao Liu, tell us, did Ming Yue have anything to do with Wu Tiantian being bitten by the snake?"

Barefoot doctor Old Liu: "When Wu Tiantian was bitten by the snake, Ming Yue wasn’t even near him. How could she have harmed him being over ten meters away? The snake crawled out of the bramble, and Wu Tiantian must have gone there to relieve himself before he was bitten. It’s best if adults remind him not to relieve himself anywhere."

Someone couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

Your poorly raised child crossed paths with a snake; who can you blame?

Wu Cuilan couldn’t accept it: "Impossible, where in the village are there snakes? It must have been Jiang Mingyue who wanted to hurt my nephew; I’m sure she caught it from the mountains to bite him."

The Elder Cousin Granduncle’s face turned stern: "Xu Feng, are you not going to control this daughter-in-law of yours? Very well, then, someone, tie up this troublemaking family and take them to the office, let the authorities investigate. But if it turns out you slandered Ming Yue, your entire family will have to leave Qingshan Village."

Old Mrs. Jiang’s expression changed, and she hurriedly smiled: "Elder Cousin, we’re leaving, we’re leaving. The children are ignorant; please don’t be angry."

The crowd looked at Wu Cuilan: A forty-year-old child is indeed a first!

The farce ended hastily, and it suddenly started raining outside. Those who originally planned to go to work were kept at home, and Gouwa ran along loudly announcing: "No work today, everyone stay home and rest."

Troubled for no good reason, Mrs. Jiang wasn’t in a great mood, and she squatted by the stove without a word.

Jiang Mingyue tried talking to her about things.

"Mom, should we still make the sugar-leg pancakes?"

Indeed, this temporarily made Mrs. Jiang forget the earlier unpleasantness and shifted her attention immediately.

"Yueyue, I won’t make them anymore. Your brother took office, and many eyes are watching. If we’re reported, it will implicate your big brother and you all."

Jiang Mingyue thought she could help her sell them, but fearing it would worry Mrs. Jiang, she didn’t mention it.

"Mom, you can make them for us to eat, to practice. Maybe when the policy gets better, we’ll open a pancake shop, and you’ll be the lady boss. We can open branches nationwide, spreading our family’s craft."

"You child!" Although it sounded like a scold, it was clear that Mrs. Jiang was touched by the vision her daughter painted.

After comforting Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Mingyue still didn’t see her third sister, so she immediately summoned her spiritual power, but her body wavered.

Strange!

As Jiang Mingyue was about to summon it again, she heard hurried footsteps.

"Ms. Yue, Ms. Yue..."

"What’s the matter?"

It was Gouwa.

"Li Xiaowei’s parents are back."

"Then there’s no rush; I’ll go over in a while."

Gouwa shook his head: "No, they’re about to leave again."

Jiang Mingyue asked no more, she lifted her feet and followed out.

As she walked, she learned that the couple had returned to deliver next month’s money to the old lady and were leaving immediately, claiming they had taken leave.

Jiang Mingyue was puzzled.
