Listening to Yuan Meixiu's begging for mercy, Liu Zhi still had no intention of letting her go. He picked up her arm and pulled her up. Yuan Meixiu only felt that there was a pair of big pliers holding her. It was useless to resist, and her entire arm was turned back 150 degrees. °, she felt that if she went a little higher, her arm would be broken.
"Ouch, ouch. It hurts so much!" Yuan Meixiu was so painful that tears fell down.
Liu Zhi let her suffer for a while before taking off her clothes and throwing them on a chair nearby as if they were stained with something dirty.
"Who allowed you to enter other people's rooms and look through other people's cabinets without their permission?" Liu Zhi asked sternly.
Yuan Meixiu rubbed her still painful arm, and before she had time to wipe her tears, she explained to Liu Zhi, "Brothers and sisters, it's been raining all day, and I'm really too cold, so..."
Liu Zhi snorted coldly, "According to your logic, you can grab other people's food when you are hungry on the road? You can chop people off if you don't like them? Have you eaten all the five lectures, four beauties and three loves? ”
Before Yuan Meixiu took Liu Zhi's clothes, she was persuaded by Yuan Meilian and others, but she disagreed and vowed to her sister, "We are all a family. What will happen if I wear her clothes? If Liu Zhi refuses, , I must say she is stingy! ”
From Yuan Meixiu's point of view, what could Liu Zhi do to herself even though she was already wearing it? Can she beat someone as a woman? Besides, even if she did hit someone, she wouldn't be afraid. It's not like she was scared.
However, just now, when Yuan Meixiu was forced to take off her clothes by Liu Zhi, she felt a kind of suppression of power. No matter how she resisted and struggled, she could not shake Liu Zhi's absolute suppression of her.
Yuan Meixiu believed that if Liu Zhi really fought with her now, it would be her unilateral abuse of herself.
She now regrets why she didn't listen to Yuan Meilian's advice not to mess with Liu Zhi. Yuan Meixiu glanced at Liu Zhi and quickly looked away as if she had been burned, feeling as uneasy as beating a drum in her heart.
Yuan Meixiu no longer had the arrogance she had when she came yesterday, and she explained obediently, "No. It's just that neither my mother nor my sister have clothes that suit me. We have similar body shapes, so I..."
Liu Zhi stretched out her hand and said, "Okay, give me the money. I bought this dress for 30 yuan, so you can pay for it."
When Yang Lan and Yuan Meilian heard the price, their eyes widened. It was just a piece of clothing. Although it looked good, it was too expensive!
Yuan Meixiu did know the price. She often went shopping in department stores. She had already taken a fancy to this dress, but she was reluctant to buy it because of the price. So when she was looking through Liu Zhi's wardrobe and saw this dress, she was happy for a while.
Yuan Meixiu looked at her mother for help, and Yang Lan had no choice but to act as peacemaker, "Liu Zhi, this is Meixiu's fault. I will definitely scold her. But this family is very open-minded when talking about money. I will definitely wash your clothes for you. If it’s money, forget it. It’ll hurt your kindness.”
Liu Zhi looked at Yang Lan calmly, staring straight at her, "You don't talk about money, right? Then give me back all the money my parents gave me, otherwise it will hurt the harmony of our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
Yang Lan slapped her thigh, "Oh, you kid, you don't know that oil and salt are expensive when you are not a householder. The eggs and rice you eat every day are free? The medicine you drink is free? There are also kerosene lamps and laundry at night. There are many places where it costs money to take saponaria.”
"Really? Then you give me 20 first, and I will provide food for the whole family for two months."
Yang Lan:.
Yang Lan stopped talking.
Liu Zhi continued to look at Yuan Meixiu, "Hurry up, my patience is limited."
Although she was very afraid of Liu Zhi, Yuan Meixiu felt more distressed about her 30 yuan. Her monthly salary was about 20 yuan, and she had to pay half of it to her mother-in-law. She had to save 30 yuan for half a year! So, she plucked up the courage to bargain, "These clothes are old, how can I use the new price to compensate for it? Besides, I won't take away the clothes, you can just wash them and wear them. Otherwise... I I’ll give you 5 yuan and let’s forget it. Do you think that’s okay?”
Five yuan is already Yuan Meixiu's biggest concession.
Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Then I will give you two choices. One, I will ask the militia to take you to the Public Security Bureau, and I will say that you stole my things. The other, give me 40 yuan and I will forget about it."
Yuan Meixiu almost jumped up, "Wasn't it 30 yuan just now? Why did it suddenly become 40 yuan?"
"If you say two more words, it will become 50 yuan."
Yuan Meixiu had no choice but to shut her mouth and reluctantly took out a cloth bag from her pocket. She counted four large unity sheets in her heart like blood and handed them over with trembling hands.
Liu Zhi accepted it with a smile. This was really a reward from God. She held the money, picked up the clothes and walked to her room.
Yuan Meixiu stopped her, "I gave you all my money, so these clothes should be mine! Otherwise, what would I have bought with the money?" "You." Liu Zhi smiled lightly, "Teach me a lesson." , how good value for money? ”
Yuan Meixiu went home the next morning. When she left, she had dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping all night, gritted her back molars, and left without saying much to her mother.
Although the money was not paid by himself, Yang Lan felt extremely uncomfortable when his daughter's money was transferred into his wife's pocket.
While Liu Zhi was going out, she quietly entered Liu Zhi's room and rummaged through everything from the closet to under the bed, but she didn't find a penny. She wondered, where did Liu Zhi hide the money?
When Liu Zhi first got married, Yang Lan immediately discovered the money she had hidden in the mezzanine of the wardrobe. She would go in every once in a while to get a piece of money out, but Liu Zhi's carefree temperament didn't notice it at all, so she became even more arrogant. However, she didn't come in during the period after Liu Zhi jumped into the river, which was unlucky.
Now, my daughter’s money is important! So Yang Lan was even more confused. She didn't carry so much money with her. Could it be that Liu Zhi had found a new place to hide the money? So she rummaged through it carefully again, not even missing the clay pot under the bed, but still found nothing.
However, Yang Lan saw several paintings rolled together in Liu Zhi's cabinet. When she opened one of them, she thought it was ordinary, no different from a piece of waste paper. She didn't know that Liu Zhi, a strange woman, put the paintings away. What to do in the closet.
"Mom! What are you doing?" Yuan Meilian came back from outside and saw her mother looking for something under her sister-in-law's bed with her butt sticking out.
Yang Lan had a guilty conscience, but her daughter's sudden voice startled her whole body. Her head suddenly hit the edge of the bed, and she felt like stars were shining in her eyes. She crawled out from under the bed and gave her a vicious scolding, " Why are you talking so loudly in broad daylight? I want to scare your mother to death!”
Yuan Meilian felt aggrieved. She just spoke in a normal tone. It was obviously her mother who had a guilty conscience.
"It's not good for you to go through my sister-in-law's room." She protested in a low voice.
"If you dare to tell her, I will kick you out right now and make you beg for food!"
Yuan Meilian had no choice but to remain silent.
Liu Zhi was quite busy today, and Zhong Qi's foot injury had finally fully recovered. When delivering food to him last night, Zhong Qi told her very sincerely that there was no need to deliver food to him anymore, and he was embarrassed in both words. . Liu Zhi felt that her presence among the great artists was almost complete, so she went to someone else's house and bought a dozen eggs, preparing to give them to Zhong Qi to solidify their friendship.
The eggs were bought from Yang Xiaojie, who questioned her last time. Yang Xiaojie is a down-to-earth and outspoken person. She is a simple person who can see her heart at a glance. Liu Zhi does not have to worry about being betrayed by her.
When Zhong Qi received the egg, he looked flattered and said, "Comrade Liu Zhi, this is really a waste of money. I really can't repay you for your kindness to me." At the same time, he also fell into deep self-blame. He just felt that Comrade Liu Zhi was falling deeper and deeper into his feelings, but he could never find a chance to explain it to her.
This is really inappropriate!
Liu Zhi waved her hand, "No, no, you were injured because you helped me, of course I should be like this. If you really feel sorry for me, hey," Liu Zhi snickered, "Why don't you give me a few more paintings."
Zhong Qi felt even more self-blame in his heart. Although Comrade Liu Zhi talked about painting very well, how could someone like a little-known painter like him like his works so much that he would give out so many eggs? Replace his paintings.
Zhong Qi understood that most women are shy and introverted, and Comrade Liu Zhi must be embarrassed to express her inner feelings, so she wanted to get closer to herself through chatting about painting.
"Comrade Liu Zhi, I..." When the words came to his lips, Zhong Qi just didn't have the nerve to continue.
Liu Zhi didn't hear it, looked at the sun outside the window, and said goodbye to Zhong Qi, "I have something to do when I get back, so I'll leave first. If you feel any discomfort in your legs or feet in the future, you can come to me!"
Zhong Qi, who came to me, felt that he was hit by Liu Zhi's good intentions. In the past, he only thought that he should establish a career first and then start a family, and did not want to think about getting married before he became successful. However, he now feels that he can be with someone who understands him. Being together with two women may also be a good story.
Several thoughts in his mind were mixed together, giving Zhong Qi a splitting headache. Just then, He Xiuyuan walked in from outside. Zhong Qi grabbed him as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, "He Zhiqing, I have something to do with feelings. I want to consult you about something, can you listen to what I have to say?”
On the other side, as soon as Liu Zhi returned home, she found that her room had been moved, and there were dragging marks under the bed. She had deliberately not closed the closet door before leaving, but now it was tightly closed. She opened the closet again, and the three paintings inside were still there, but one of them had obviously been opened.
Liu Zhi was a little lucky that the thief didn't know what he was selling and didn't steal these paintings.
However, this kind of thing happened frequently, and Liu Zhi felt that she had to deal with the "thief" before she moved out.
