Chapter 581 Divorce Before Leaving
Chapter 581 Divorce Before Leaving
"Wang Qin, are you sure that there's really so much money? If you confirm it, Liu Ying will have to fork out this amount of money," Qiao Zhuang said.
What Wang Qin said was all a lie. The box at home only contained 30 dollars, but not long ago, she had taken 50 dollars from the village accounts. Liu Ying would now have to take the fall for it.
"Yes, it's about 120 dollars!" Wang Qin said.
Qiao Zhuang looked at Zhao Liang and asked, "My eldest daughter-in-law stole our family's money. Am I still not allowed to put my foot down!"
Zhao Liang was in a difficult position. He really should not interfere in this matter, but if he did not do anything, someone might die!
"Qiao Zhuang! Enough is enough! If she really stole the money, just ask her to give it back. Just keep it within the family since it's not an outsider who stole it. Or do you intend to call the police?" Qiao Qiang said.
When Qiao Zhuang heard Qiao Qiang speak, he immediately went up and put on a pitiful act as he said, "Big brother! You must stand up for me! There are so many people in our family. How can so many of us survive without this money!"
"What can I do for you? But it's not right for you to beat up someone. If she has stolen something, you can hand her over to the police. Why are you beating her up here on your own?" Qiao Qiang said.
Qiao Zhuang was about to say something when he was interrupted by Liu Ying, who was crouching on the ground. Liu Ying said agitatedly, "Brother Zhao! Please! Just take me away and hand me over to the police! I did steal that money! It's because this group of people wants to sell my daughter to the Guo family!"
Qiao Zhuang went up and gave Liu Ying a hard kick. The Guo family was here to marry her daughter! What did she mean by selling! It was simply nonsense!
"When did we want to sell your daughter! Don't talk nonsense! The Guo family has already given us the betrothal gifts and they just want to see Qiao Hua. What do you mean by selling her! The Guo family is so rich, she will get to enjoy life over there!" Qiao Zhuang shouted.
Everyone present knew what kind of wolf den the Guo family was. Which daughter of a good family would want to marry into their family!
No one wanted this kind of "blessing"! Staying alive was more important!
Zhao Liang immediately went forward and pulled Qiao Zhuang away, keeping a distance between him and Liu Ying to prevent him from attacking Liu Ying again. Looking at Liu Ying's current situation, she must have already been beaten up once.
"Let's talk things out. I'll definitely get it settled for you. Don't get physical," Zhao Liang said calmly.
"I just want Qiao Hua to come back with the money! Nothing else!" Qiao Zhuang shouted angrily.
Liu Ying pointed at Qiao Zhuang and shouted, "In your dreams! If you have time to waste on me, you might as well think about how to marry Qiao Yu into the Guo family!"
Qiao Zhuang wanted to go forward and hit Liu Ying again, but Zhao Liang stopped him. Of course, he knew that the most important thing now was to resolve the matter with the Guo family, but he just could not take it if he left Liu Ying undealt with.
Furthermore, there were so many people watching. If he let Liu Ying off now, how would others view him in the future?
When the news reached the Guo family's ears, it would sound like he was not much of a village tyrant and this marriage would be even more impossible.
"Brother Zhao, arrest me! Let me go to jail! I'd rather go to jail than live with such a family!" Liu Ying said to Zhao Liang in a lowly manner.
Everyone could understand what she was doing. She was a child bride whom Qiao Zhuang picked up for free and she had worked hard in the family for so many years. Moreover, Qiao Fu was no less ruthless than his father, Qiao Zhuang.
Whenever they had any money in the family, Qiao Fu would take it and gamble. It was already considered humane of him not to use his child as chips.
"Do you really want to go to jail?" Zhao Liang asked.
Liu Ying nodded. There was food and drinks in the prison, and she did not need to do so much hard work. She only had to work for a few hours a day and the rest of the time was downtime.
Compared to her current life, prison was like heaven!
Zhao Liang hesitated for a moment before turning to ask Qiao Fu, "Do you agree too?"
Qiao Fu said indifferently, "Just divorce me first before leaving!"
He did not care about how much Liu Ying had sacrificed for this family all these years. He only cared about himself. He did not want to be a lonely married man after Liu Ying left!
Who knew how many years she could be locked up! A few months would already be unbearable! Absolutely not!
After this, he could marry any woman and have her stay at home and do the housework. Moreover, when he married Liu Ying back then, he did not have to fork out a single cent, so there was no loss even if he got a divorce now.
He wanted this divorce!
