Chapter 1208: Revenge

Fangzheng said, “Patron, there are many kinds of people in this world, but there are only three people in the eyes of some—enemies and strangers.”

Li Xueying asked, “What do you mean?”

Fangzheng said, “When a person forgets to be grateful, only enemies and strangers are left in his world. If you really wish to help them, help them regain their gratitude. It’s not by giving them money or nurturing their desires.”

Li Xueying said, “Then what should I do?”

Fangzheng smiled. “Do as This Penniless Monk says. Be your Queen Snow Eagle and not the Li Xueying who grew up in this village! What should a queen do? You should be more skilled than This Penniless Monk, right?”

Li Xueying thought for a moment before nodding. “I understand. Justice is tempered with mercy. I need to ensure a distance.”

“Let’s go.”

When they arrived at Li Xueying’s house, the neighbors immediately surrounded her.

As for Fangzheng, he had already activated A Golden Millet Dream when he entered the village. He made himself unrecognizable to everyone. Furthermore, everyone’s attention was on Li Xueying. Therefore, Fangzheng was naturally treated as an assistant and was someone of zero importance. Naturally, no one cared about him.

Upon seeing these people suddenly gather over, Li Xueying’s nasty vibes wavered. Even Fangzheng felt like he was surrounded by a group of hungry wolves with evil intentions. Fangzheng suddenly understood why Li Xueying wanted to move. If the villagers here had gone bad, the village was no longer the original village.

The humans were no longer humans but wolves. If they stayed, they would only be bitten by the wolves. If they couldn’t kill the wolves, they could only leave.

Just as they were about to approach, the seemingly useless scum suddenly stepped forward and blocked the door.

“Who are you? Go away!” someone said unhappily.

“This Penniless… It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that Ms. Li is visiting her family today and doesn’t wish to be disturbed by anyone. If there’s anything, head back first or wait here,” said Fangzheng.

“Go back? Wait here? Are you crazy?” someone asked.

A balding man chuckled and said, “Do you know who you are talking to? Everyone here watched Li Xueying grow up. We all know what she had done in the past. You have to think it through. You can stop us from entering, but if we are unhappy, we might tell the media about what Li Xueying did in the past. When the time comes, don’t you beg us to enter.”

“Old Jiang is right. Punk, get out of my way. Don’t delay us!” another old man shouted arrogantly.

Fangzheng remained unmoved. Instead, he secretly gestured to Li Xueying, indicating that it was your turn.

When Li Xueying saw this, the panic in her eyes suddenly calmed down. For some reason, she found that the white figure in front of her resembled a mountain that blocked the elements for her. She was no longer afraid…

The arrogance and coldness unique to Queen Snow Eagle made its return. Her eyes swept coldly across the villagers in front of her. Wherever her gaze passed, the villagers, regardless of gender or age, would subconsciously turn their heads away, not daring to look her in the eye. Following that, they looked angrily at Li Xueying. It was as though their flinching had insulted them greatly.

One of the women said angrily, “Li Xueying, what kind of look is that?”

The balding man said, “That’s right. Do you not know manners? Who looks at elders like that? Did Li Haisheng teach his daughter this? Get him out!”

Upon hearing that, Li Xueying’s eyes wavered slightly. However, the white figure in front of her tilted himself to block the balding man. He appeared in Li Xueying’s eyes. Li Xueying’s gaze turned firm as she said coldly, “My gaze makes it clear that you aren’t welcomed. In addition, I’m officially announcing that we will be moving tomorrow. Also, it’s time to return the money that you owe me.”

These words were like a bomb thrown into the crowd, and the people who had been clamoring immediately fell silent.

After some time, the balding man, Old Jiang, finally snapped out of his daze. “Li Xueying, what do you mean? Has the money you earned outside got to your head? Just because you are famous, you now despite the land that raised you? Also, if you hadn’t received our help all these years, would you have developed your career so well? We haven’t even asked you for payment. Yet, you have the cheek to request payment from us?”

The elder added, “That’s right. When you were young, you even ate our melon. Back then, we didn’t even ask you to pay up.”

The woman added, “Last year, Li Haisheng and his wife accepted a bag of carrots that I gave them. Back then, I didn’t ask for any money either. How dare you ask us for money?”

Upon hearing that, Li Xueying’s eyes turned even colder. “Since you want to settle scores, I, Li Xueying, shall settle scores with all of you today! Grandpa Chen, I’ll call you grandpa, but I hope that you can live up to this title. I ate a melon of yours when I was little. How many cents did a melon cost back then? Forget it. I’ll count it as a single yuan. Let’s say the interest doubles every year—a high interest loan, am I right? Now that it’s been 10 years, I’ll give you 512 yuan for that melon. Is that not enough?”

Grandpa Chen turned agape. This price was astronomical for a melon.

Following that, Li Xueying immediately said, “Since you don’t have any objections, fine. Leave the melon’s money aside. Let’s calculate the money you owe me!”

With that said, Li Xueying took out her cell phone and turned on the speaker mode. She said to her assistant, “Check on Grandpa Chen’s promissory notes and see how much he owes me.”

The assistant immediately checked. A minute later, he said, “Sis Xueying, Grandpa Chen borrowed a total of 183,600 yuan for renovating his house, children’s school fees, and the medical bills for his wife! These are the ones with promissory notes. The loans without promissory notes add up to even greater amounts.”

Li Xueying said, “Grandpa Chen, I’ll just wipe off the 600 yuan for the melon I bought. You should pay the remaining money!”

When Grandpa Chen heard that, his face turned livid. How was he to return more than a hundred thousand yuan? At that moment, he realized that he had unknowingly taken so much money from Li Xueying all these years. If Li Xueying hadn’t said it right to his face, he didn’t even know how much he had taken from her!

At the same time, the number struck his head like a mace. It told him that he was the debtor! Li Xueying didn’t owe him anything. Instead, he owed Li Xueying!

Grandpa Chen kept quiet.

Li Xueying turned to look at the woman and said, “Auntie Wu, since you wish to settle scores with me, let’s do the math.”

“What math? We are fellow villagers. Money ruins relationships. I still have something on; I haven’t fed the chickens at home. I’ll be leaving first.” Auntie Wu blushed and quickly ran away.

The balding Old Jiang was gone—he was the first to escape.

When the others saw their leaders shut up and run away, they immediately dispersed.

Seeing her doorway empty, Li Xueying seemed enervated. Her body went limp and she nearly collapsed.

Fangzheng hurriedly helped her up. He knew that it wasn’t because Li Xueying had exhausted all her physical strength.

She had exhausted herself both emotionally and mentally!
