Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time! Chapter 236 - Explain

Chapter 236: Explain

“Brother Shan, listen to my explanation, Brother Shan.”
Wu Mei hurriedly knelt and crawled to Yun Shan’s feet. Her tearful appearance was truly pitiful.
“What? Do you have anything else to say? Greed is greed. Our teachers taught us not to lie. You’re already so old, yet you still don’t know shame!”
Yun Yang continued to rub salt onto her wound. He used his body to stop Wu Mei from continuing to get closer to Yun Shan.
“Brother Shan, I admit that it’s all my fault. I took money for your groceries, but I really have my difficulties.” Wu Mei looked especially innocent. As expected, her b*tchy skills were still the same as before.!!
“It was my husband who forced me. These past few days, when I went out to buy food for everyone, I often met my husband. You should know that my family’s condition is especially bad now. Many creditors are blocking the door and chasing us every day to pay off our debts. How can we have the money to pay off our debts? The savings in the house have long been taken away by the creditors. Even some of the valuable things in the house have been moved away by them. My husband didn’t dare to go home for a few days. He specially waited for me and forced me to give him money. If I can’t give him money, he’ll beat me up.”
Wu Mei wiped away her tears and continued.
“How could a weak person like me be a match for such a strong man? I could only give him the rest of my money. I don’t have any money left either. After giving it to him, I still can’t satisfy him, but he still forced me to give him more money. I’m afraid of being abused by him. I can only think of other ways to get some money.”
Wu Mei looked at Chen Li again.
“Chen Li, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t have any other ways to get money. That’s why I targeted your money for groceries. Every time, I tried my best to bargain with those vegetable vendors so as not to lower the standard of your family’s food. Then, I took the small changes and gave them to my husband. This way, I can buy groceries and also dissipate the anger that my husband has towards me.”
Wu Mei’s reason was reasonable.
“What are you doing? Get up from the ground. The ground is cold and dirty. This isn’t your fault. In that case, don’t go out in the future. Just stay at home. In the future, I’ll be the one buying vegetables.”
Chen Li was still very sympathetic to Wu Mei and hurriedly helped her up.
Almost everyone present believed her story.
Yun Xi was the only exception. The corners of Yun Xi’s mouth curled up into a sneer, and she had a plan in mind for what would happen next. It was Wu Mei who wanted to stir up trouble first, so she could not be blamed for being merciless.
After such a farce, everyone’s appetite for dinner was gone. The crucian carp tofu soup was no longer as delicious.
However, a knock on the door interrupted the silence at the table.
“I’ll go open the door,” Yun Qiao stood up and said.
“Yun Lian!”
Yun Qiao opened the door and saw Yun Lian standing at the door with a cloth bag in her arms.
Yun Qiao knew a little about Yun Lian being suspended from school. Even so, should she not be in her hometown or dormitory?!
“Why are you here? Come in and talk.” Yun Qiao welcomed her in. Even if there was great hatred between their families, it was still a family matter. She closed the door to talk so that outsiders would not laugh at them.
“Yun Lian, why are you here?”
Yun Shan and Chen Li asked in unison.
Yun Lian slowly told Yun Shan and his wife about her encounter. She embellished the incident of her being suspended from school. She also told them about her experience of being bullied and expelled by her classmates in the dormitory. Then, she did not dare to return to her hometown. In the end, she came here because she had nowhere to live.
“Yun Qiao, go and get a set of bowls and chopsticks for Yun Lian. She probably hasn’t eaten dinner.”
Yun Gang instructed Yun Qiao.
“Alright.” Yun Qiao ran to the kitchen.
“Yun Xi, no matter what, we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning. We’ll let Yun Lian stay here for the night. Your room is small, so let Yun Lian and Aunt Wu stay there. You can squeeze in with me and your dad.”
Chen Li made the arrangements.
Since Chen Li had spoken, Yun Xi could only give up her room to the pretentious girl.
