Chapter 26 - You Reap What You Sow

Chapter 26 You Reap What You Sow

However, she couldn’t change what had already happened.

After Zhang Xiulan woke up, no matter what, she could only marry Chen Xinyue to the widower.

She didn’t get the money and even sacrificed her daughter. Zhang Xiulan’s heart ached.

It was just that her desire to ask for money had yet to die down. If one plan failed, she would come up with another one.

Thus, Zhang Xiulan brought Chen Xinyue to Chen Baiyi’s house.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock…

A hurried knocking sounded at the door. Chen Baiyi frowned in the courtyard. Who knocked like that? How rude.

When she opened the door, she felt even more displeased. It was Zhang Xiulan and her daughter. She immediately closed the door.

However, she was still a step too slow. Zhang Xiulan stuck her foot in the crack of the door and pounded on the door while shouting, “Open the door! Open the door! You caught

my foot.”

Chen Baiyi was afraid that this was Zhang Xiulan’s trick to extort money, so she opened the door slightly.

She asked hostilely, “Why are you looking for me?”

Zhang Xiulan used her body to squeeze past Chen Baiyi and the door opened.

Chen Baiyi was heavily bumped into and she took a few steps back. When she stabilized herself, Zhang Xiulan and Chen Xinyue were already in her courtyard.

The moment she entered the courtyard, Zhang Xiulan asked for money. “Your sister is getting married. As her elder sister, shouldn’t you give her some compensation?” Pretending to be considerate, she said, “You don’t need to give her too much. Just help her pay for the wedding and buy something as your sister’s dowry.”

She was indeed here to extort money.

When Chen Baiyi saw Zhang Xiulan’s self-righteous expression, she was angered to the point of laughter. How could she have the nerve to say such a thing? She not only brazenly broke into her house, but the moment she opened her mouth, she asked for money. Not to mention dowry and wedding money, she wouldn’t give her a single cent.

Without saying a word, she picked up the hoe beside her and said to Zhang Xiulan and her daughter, “Get out. I’ll count to three. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Zhang Xiulan felt that Chen Baiyi was just bluffing. She wasn’t afraid at all. She even took a step forward and said provocatively, “Bring it on!”

When Chen Baiyi saw this, she waved the hoe and jabbed it at Zhang Xiulan as she walked all the way to the door.

Zhang Xiulan and Chen Xinyue were caught off guard by Chen Baiyi. Chen Xinyue was even hit by the hoe a few times, but she couldn’t care less in this situation.

The matter of her being raped by the widower had already completely ruined her reputation in the village, and she didn’t even dare to leave the house. If her mother hadn’t said that she wanted Chen Baiyi to give them money, she definitely wouldn’t have left the house.

That was why she hadn’t said anything today. However, when she saw Chen Baiyi’s stubborn expression, Chen Xinyue finally couldn’t help but say agitatedly, “Chen Baiyi, why won’t you pay? You were supposed to marry him!” Her voice was as hoarse as an old woman’s.

Chen Baiyi naturally knew about Chen Xinyue and the widower’s scandal. She thought that Zhang Xiulan had “sold” Chen Xinyue because she was short of money.

But after hearing Chen Xinyue’s words, Chen Baiyi understood that she was the one who was “sold”! However, Chen Xinyue was implicated this time.

Chen Baiyi was rendered speechless by the two of them. Chen Xinyue even looked like she had been harmed by her. Please, it was Zhang Xiulan who went to look for him. What had it got to do with her?

After knowing the whole story, Chen Baiyi felt that it was karma. She mocked Zhang Xiulan and Chen Xinyue, “I’ve said before that you reap what you sow. This is your karma.”
