Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Not Afraid of You Suing Chapter 161: Not Afraid to Sue You Mengyu thought proudly that having such a large sum of money in the 1980s meant she could be considered a tycoon now. Yet she completely forgot that the value of this and that, if not converted into money, amounted to nothing, and was even less than the cash she had in her space. The next day, with the mindset of a nouveau riche, carrying a large book bag, Mengyu followed Gu Dongxing to the Jiang Family. She wanted to retrieve her previous textbooks. As it so happened, Li Chunhua came out to pour water and saw Mengyu, her eyes immediately narrowing: “You still have the face to come back?” With that, she threw a basin of water towards Mengyu. Her daughter had told her a few days ago that she couldn’t attend university because of Jiang Mengyu’s interference, so she had to come back home. However, she didn’t let Jiang Mengyu have it easy either—neither of them ended up going to university (though it was actually Mengyu’s own choice), and both had to return to continue high school. She guessed that Jiang Mengyu would come back to get her high school books. “Mom, you have to remember to keep all of Mengyu’s high school textbooks, so she has to buy them with money.” “Right, right, right, she should buy them back at the prices marked on the books. Otherwise, don’t give them to her.” “No!” Jiang Huaiyu said, “We can’t sell them at the book price.” “Uh, you’re right, the books have been used and she might not give the original price, so let’s give her an 80% discount.” “No, no, no, Mom, I mean we should demand double the price of the books.” Jiang Huaiyu said proudly: “She really wants these high school books now, what she wants even more are those notes, so, bundle the books and notes together for her, and charge her double the price of the books!” Li Chunhua thought about it, her daughter guessed right, Jiang Mengyu really came back to get the books, how could she let her get what she wanted so easily? Even if she was going to take her money for the books, she wanted to oppress her well before handing them over. Mengyu dodged the water with a quick side step. “Li Chunhua, have you forgotten that you have a criminal record? Didn’t you cover up the crime of selling me to human traffickers under the guise of collecting dowry? You said you treated me like a daughter, but what would happen if I went to the police station again and sued you for abuse? According to Article 260 of the Criminal Law, those who severely abuse family members can be sentenced to over two years in prison.” Hearing about the prison sentence, Li Chunhua became a little scared. “You’re talking nonsense! When did I abuse you?” But in fact, she was very guilty. Over the years, she had indeed been abusing Mengyu in the village, and many had seen it! “Didn’t?” Mengyu laughed. “Since I was three years old, you forced me to work, picking wild vegetables on the mountain, if I wasn’t careful and rolled down, you left me there and didn’t care, it was only because the village leader paid for someone to treat me that I didn’t die.” “Usually, you wouldn’t let me eat because you said the work I did wasn’t good, and that was common.” “Since I was five, I took care of all the household chores in the family, who in the village doesn’t know that? The clothes I wore were all Huaiyu’s cast-offs.” “Even so, the better clothes left over by Huaiyu, you’d take to give away, and in the winter, when Huaiyu’s cotton-padded clothes became too short, you’d add a piece to hers and let her continue wearing them, whereas I had to layer seven or eight pieces of thin clothes to keep warm all winter.” “Also, when I was ten years old, you wouldn’t let me go to school, only after I collected and sold some scraps and found the village leader, did you reluctantly agree.” “Usually, you would beat or scold me, and although the wounds on my body have healed, the scars remain. Do you want me to pull up my clothes and show you the scars?” “You tell me, if this isn’t abuse, then what is considered abuse?”
