Lai Jinniang was frightened by it and couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Then she sat on the ground and began to cry. “You unfilial thing! Your father and I raised you for so many years for nothing. Now your father is lying unconscious in bed and you just want to leave him in the lurch. You ingrate!”

“If the old man goes, I won’t be able to live either. Let me go with the old man. When we see the King of Hell, we’ll sue you for being heartless!”

Lai Jinniang cried and wiped her tears, looking very sad.

!!

Some of the onlookers started to persuade him.

“Zhou Yu, even if your family is no longer related to them, the Old Zhou family has raised you up after all. Now that Old Zhou is sick in bed, you shouldn’t leave him in the lurch. That would be heartless of you.”

“That’s right, that’s right. After all, they had raised you up. You have to be grateful to them for raising you up.”

“Why don’t we do this? Zhou Yu, take out the pearls and use them to treat Old Zhou’s illness. It can be considered as repaying the Old Zhou family for raising you for more than 20 years! Today, everyone here will be your witness. Your kindness will be repaid!”

“Yeah, yeah. We’re all your witnesses. Just give it to them.”

…

The people around them were all talking at once. Most of them were persuading Zhou Yu to take out the pearls to save a life.

This was pure moral kidnapping.

At this moment, even if Zhou Yu said that the pearls had been sold, they would persist to use the moral kidnapping tactic on them and ask Zhou Yu to take out the money from the sale of the pearls to treat Old Zhou.

Zhou Xiaoli narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but think of the compass she had just made. It was time to settle the score with Lai Jinniang’s family.

Hence, she walked out from behind Zhou Yu and sighed. “Madam Lai, it’s not that my father doesn’t want to give you the pearls. Everyone in the village knows that my father values relationships the most.”

“It’s because you had picked up my father from the roadside back then that he had worked hard in the Zhou family for the last few decades. No matter how much you pick on him, he has always worked hard to support the family.”

“He didn’t give you the pearls because he was afraid that it would harm you instead!”

Hearing this, Lai Jinniang snorted and opened her mouth to scold Zhou Xiaoli, but she glanced at Zhou Yu.

In the end, she changed her words abruptly. “Why do you say that? We would be able to save him with the pearls. Why would it harm us instead?”

“Sigh!” Zhou Xiaoli sighed and had a helpless expression on her face. “Actually, the origin of these pearls is not ordinary. Everyone knows that when I was born, there were auspicious clouds in the sky. It was considered a good omen.”

“But for the past 10 years, there has been a lot of trouble in the family. Just a few days ago, when Father and I were fishing at sea, we dreamed of the Dragon King. He said that I was framed by a villain.”

“As long as we follow his instructions and find a clam spirit on the beach, we can open it and place the pearls inside at home to worship it. Then, we can protect our family.”

“However, the clam spirit is extremely powerful. Ordinary people can’t subdue it. If other families take it, it will create a backlash and they will suffer from bad luck!”

Zhou Xiaoli’s words were a mixture of truth and falsehood. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan were also stunned.

They didn’t know what Zhou Xiaoli was planning, but they knew they had to cooperate.

He immediately nodded. “It’s true. Li’er told us when she came back. After she came back, we accompanied her to look for it. As expected, we found the sea clam!”

However, Lai Jinniang obviously didn’t believe him. “Oh Heavens! Old man, why is your life so hard? Now that you’re bedridden, he’s still making up such a ridiculous lie!”

Zhou Xiaoli knew that she would not believe her, so she pretended to be anxious and said, “You don’t believe me? It’s true. I’m really not lying to you. If you take the pearls back, you will be doomed!”

Hearing this, Lai Jinniang and Zhou Guihua cried even louder.

Zhou Xiaoli also pretended to be angry. “Alright! Since you don’t believe me, take it. Don’t cry and beg us to take it back when you’re unlucky!”

After saying that, she entered the room angrily. After a while, she came out with a pearl. “Here, take it! If you’re not afraid, take it!”

Lai Jinniang hesitated.

At this moment, Zhou Guihua whispered from her side, “Mother, she must be lying to us. Dragon King, clam spirit, none of the novel writers would even dream of writing such a thing!”

Lai Jinniang felt that what her daughter said made sense. She immediately went up and snatched the pearl away.

Zhou Xiaoli did not dodge and let Lai Jinniang take it.

She said expressionlessly, “Since you don’t listen to my advice, don’t come and beg us if you’re unlucky! The pearl is very powerful. If you sell it, you’ll only be even more unlucky!”

When Lai Jinniang and Zhou Guihua had the pearl in their hands, they were overjoyed. They thought to themselves that only a fool would give it back.

“Aiya, the old man is finally saved. Boohoo.” The two of them hugged each other and expressed their gratitude. Then, they hurriedly ran home with the excuse that they had to save the old man.

The surrounding villagers were all curious and asked Zhou Xiaoli if what she said was true.

After getting Zhou Xiaoli’s affirmation, many people still didn’t believe it. They thought that this was Zhou Xiaoli’s excuse, but she didn’t manage to fool Lai Jinniang. She was just sticking with her story now.

Some were skeptical and said that they would wait and see if Lai Jinniang and the others would turn unlucky.

The onlookers then dispersed one after another.

Zhou Xiaoli and the others also returned home and closed the door.

Because the Liu family and the village chief’s family were still around, Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan suppressed the questions they had in their hearts and did not immediately ask Zhou Xiaoli about it.

Seeing that the outsiders had left, Liu Yan, Lin Xiujuan, and the others opened the kitchen door and walked out.

Although they did not see what had just happened, they heard it clearly.

“I never knew that she could be so despicable! She’s such a blood sucker!” Lin Xiujuan spat and cursed.

However, she changed the topic abruptly and said, “However, your family is so lucky in finding a pearl! Too bad it was taken away by that blood sucker, or I could have seen for myself what it looked like!”

Towards the end, her voice was filled with endless regret.

“Erhem!” Liu Liangcai covered his mouth and coughed. He pushed Lin Xiujuan, signaling her with his eyes not to continue adding insult to injury.

Zhou Yu must be feeling terrible that he had such a terrible stepmother.

Zhou Xiaoli, on the other hand, was not angry at all that the pearl had been snatched away. She said calmly, “It’s fine. Madam Lai wants to court death. I can’t stop her.”

This time, not only Lin Xiujuan, but even the village chief’s wife was curious. “Little Li, is what you said about the Dragon King visiting in your dreams true?”

...

Zhou Xiaoli nodded and said without batting an eyelid, “Of course it’s true.”

Zhou Xiaoli’s words were so certain that the village chief’s wife and the others did not know whether they should believe her or not.

The main thing was that the entire story seems fictional.

Whether they believed it or not, Zhou Xiaoli did not care.

Because she would definitely bring misfortune to Madam Lai!
