"Look at how vulnerable your family is!" Lin Qingmei stood far away from them, looking at them with some gloating attitude.

Cheng Antai sat on the ground with his back to the pot. The pot on his head had been taken off. His head, face and body were all covered with porridge. He was holding the pot in his hands, and he was dazed. Lin Qingmei had used a lot of force when she hit him with the pot, and the bottom of the pot hit his head hard. It still hurts... Cheng Antai felt that Cheng and Lin's family were all crazy, both the old and the young, and some of them were quite crazy. They were all violent!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Cheng Antai, how did you two teach your children? The way you are now, it's no exaggeration to say that you are a drowning dog. Oh no, Lin Lin said that you are not worthy of being compared with dogs... Alas, if I were like you now... I don't even have to be like you. Even if I was slapped in the face, Lin Lin and Yuan Yuan would fight with that person! Look at your children again, they didn't even move when you were bullied by me. This is also your teaching by words and deeds. I remember when grandma was sick and hospitalized, you were the first one to say that she was incurable?"

Hearing this, Cheng Antai suddenly came back to his senses. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Lin Qingmei say, "You keep saying you're the most filial, but when you really run into trouble, you run away faster than anyone else!"

"That's because I was sensible! I told my brother and sister what they were thinking. I did it for everyone's good! I bore the blame! I am the one who knows the big picture best!" Cheng Antai yelled and pounded the bottom of the pot with his hands, as if he was complaining for himself.

"Humph, you've been acting this out for so long that you've started to believe it!" Ms. Lin looked down on him. Just as she was about to take something out of her bag, Li Meixian's provocative voice rang out, "Lin Qingmei! Who do you think you are? Why don't you think about why your second brother is taking money from our family? He doesn't love you! Hahaha, your own husband doesn't love you, how pitiful you are!"

Lin Qingmei sneered, "I'm about to divorce him, why do I still care about this? Who cares about the love of a scumbag like him! I have my own career, and I have excellent children who are devoted to me. Compared with you, a woman who can only rely on others and has nothing, who is pitiful? As for what I am, it's not your turn to judge!" She took out a notebook from her bag, "I came here this time, beating you is just a matter of convenience, and the most important purpose is to make you pay back the money!"

"Pay back the money?" Li Meixian said sharply, "What money? Our family doesn't owe you any money!"

"No? You're so shameless!" Lin Qingmei flipped through the book, "This is the account book I used to record the accounts of my clothes sales over the past few years. I recorded every single amount accurately, regardless of how much income Cheng Xingmin took. Didn't you just say that your second brother brought money to your house? I don't know how much he took, but we can calculate it!"

Lin Qingmei moved another stool, took out a pen from her bag, tore off a blank piece of paper and began to calculate seriously: "For your son alone, Cheng Xingmin gives one thousand every month. He has been in college for one year, excluding the holidays, it is ten months, which is ten thousand. I am kind-hearted, so I don't care about the pocket money Cheng Xingmin gives him. I just treat it as dog food! In addition, for the three of you, Cheng Antai, I roughly calculate it, a total of two thousand, it must be more than that, but who can blame me for being soft-hearted, it is twenty-four thousand this year; plus, your second brother always brings you cigarettes and alcohol, which are not issued by his unit, but brought by my brother and nephew from my mother's side, so they have to be counted for money, not much, five hundred a month, which is six thousand this year; there are occasionally one or two pieces of clothes missing in my store, and there are surveillance cameras in the store, and I remember how much Cheng Xingmin took away, I see that your daughter is wearing that now~" Lin Qingmei raised her head and glanced at Cheng Xindan, Cheng Xindan felt embarrassed, lowered his head and said nothing. "Since we are related by blood, I will sell these clothes to you at the purchase price. I calculated it before. In the past year alone, there are 16,380 yuan. So, round it up to 16,400 yuan. You see, my business is very honest. I only make 20 yuan from you!"

Lin Qingmei flexed her fingers, "Let me add up the money your son has earned since he started college... the total is 56,400. This is based on the lowest standard. As for the other miscellaneous items, Lin Lin always says I'm a saint. I accept it. I'll just take the loss as it is. I'll take 60,000 for this year!" Lin Qingmei tore off another blank piece of paper and wrote something on it, muttering, "It's only been one year. Cheng Xingmin has taken my financial power for several years. At that time, the children were all in high school, and the expenses were not as high as they are now. The money your brother gave you must have increased year by year. Let me be merciful and take the total for the first few years as 40,000. Add the money for the past year, and the total will be 100,000! See, I'm kind enough!"

Lin Qingmei stood up and waved the paper in her hand. "It's good to have a daughter who studies law. Fortunately, she told me how to write an IOU! I have already written the IOU. Your family owes us three daughters a total of 100,000 yuan. Come on, sign and put your fingerprints on it!"

"You are blackmailing me! I'm going to sue you!" Li Meixian shouted.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to sue me, and then you will have to pay more!" Lin Qingmei's voice was cold.

"What Second Brother gave us was a voluntary gift!" Cheng Antai got up from the ground, "That's your joint property after marriage, Second Brother has the right to dispose of it! You can't take it from us!"

"Really? You think you understand a lot, Cheng Antai! I tell you, I remember it all. Not only do I want to ask you to pay, but Cheng Xingmin as well. He owes us three children even more! And your eldest brother Cheng Fuqiang and your second sister Cheng Yinfeng! I know very well everything you took from me! Aren't you going to sue? Go ahead! Even if you don't go, I will go! I use the money I earn to support your entire Cheng family. I want to show them what this means! What voluntary gift? Do you have an agreement? Who can prove that this is a voluntary gift? Your second brother?" Cheng Antai lost his temper at this moment, his eyes were dull, and Li Meixian was also lying on the ground crying. Lin Qingmei continued, "Cheng Antai, you know best what kind of person your second brother is. Tell me, will he turn the tables and say that you forced him to give the money?"

Cheng Antai's pupils trembled. He knew too well what kind of person his second brother was. He was a selfish villain! The situation Lin Qingmei described was entirely possible!

"It doesn't matter whether you sign this IOU or not. It's useless to use normal means to deal with people like you. It doesn't matter. I will come to collect the debt whenever I have time. If I don't have time, I will hire someone to collect the debt. If you don't pay it back, let your children pay it back. Your second sister's actions have given me inspiration. I also have many good families here who can give a lot of betrothal gifts. How about I ask your daughter to go over and take the betrothal gift? This way, the money you owe me can be paid back, and your daughter will have a good home. It's the best of both worlds!" Lin Qingmei said with a smile.

Cheng Xindan's cold face finally showed some reaction, and she shouted in horror: "No! I don't want it! They owe you money, so ask them to pay it back. I didn't spend a penny! Why should I pay it back!"

"No flowers? Then take off your clothes!" Lin Qingmei scolded. Unlike Cheng Lin's evil nature, Lin Qingmei had the authority of an elder without getting angry. This scolding frightened Cheng Xindan so much that he trembled and didn't say a word.

"Cheng Antai, you know in your heart that Cheng Xingmin has given you more than 100,000 yuan over the years. I have done my best. You spent the money happily and never thought about paying it back. For people like you, I am afraid you don't even know how to write the word 'pay back'! How is it possible? There is a fixed number of causes and effects in the world. It is a foolish dream to think that you can get something that does not belong to you without spending a penny! Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back..." Lin Qingmei patted the dust on her trouser legs, "It would be fine if you take the initiative to pay back the money, even in installments. But don't think about it. You can delay it for one day longer, you still have to run your restaurant business, right? If not, I will go to your restaurant every day and collect the money. The QR code will be directly replaced by mine. I will leave when I collect 100,000 yuan; or..." Lin Qingmei looked around, "If you just leave without paying back the money, I will tear down your place and sell everything that can be sold, including the sofa, TV, and bed. I will sell them for as much as I can. I still have your farm and fields in my hometown. I will talk to the village party secretary about the whole story and change the name to Yuanyuan. It's not impossible..."

"No! No! No!" Cheng Antai hurriedly stopped him. The farm and land in his hometown were his lifeblood! Although he was unwilling, Cheng Antai still gritted his teeth and said, "We'll pay it back! One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!" He handed the IOU in front of him, "Sign and put your fingerprints on it."

"Is it not possible to not sign?" Cheng Antai made his final struggle...

Lin Qingmei narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Okay, I'll find a date for your daughter tomorrow and make sure she gets married within a month!"

"No...no, no!" Li Meixian said hurriedly, "Sign! We'll sign! We'll pay back the money!" After saying that, she covered her face and cried again. There were still leftovers hanging all over her body. Even beggars were not so miserable.

Cheng Antai signed the three most humiliating words in his life, which were also his name. After signing one more, he looked up at Lin Qingmei, who said, "Make two copies, keep them separately." Cheng Antai had no choice but to sign the three humiliating words again. This was not the end, as Lin Qingmei came prepared. She took out a box of ink from her bag and said, "Press your fingerprints!"

Cheng Antai's hands were shaking all the time, and Lin Qingmei didn't indulge him. She spread his fingers and dipped them into the ink to make handprints. If his right hand wasn't enough, he asked his left hand to do it. Cheng Antai's hands seemed to be unconscious and let Lin Qingmei fiddle with them. Lin Qingmei looked at the two IOUs with satisfaction and handed one to Li Meixian: "Keep them well. Don't think that you won't acknowledge them if you lose them. They are all written in black and white, with signatures and handprints. There is no interest on them. I only want 100,000 yuan. You can sue me if you want. I am always right!"

Before leaving, Lin Qingmei said, "Lin Lin told me before that I can't be like before, I need to rise up, but I can't rise up no matter what I do. She also complained that Cheng Xingmin is an excavator. Do you think my daughter is humorous? I have gained a lot today. Not only am I proud of myself, but I have also proved to my children that their mother is not a loser!" After taking two steps, she turned back and said, "I am looking forward to the first payment you make, please be quick! Lin Lin's mobile phone is old, and I want to replace it with a new one. She will be a junior at the beginning of the school year. It is really unreasonable for her to not have a laptop. She is not liked by Cheng Xinkun, and this eldest cousin has never given her anything. But we don't want it, so we can only buy it ourselves~"
