The female police officer didn't listen to her at all, because the villagers were all witnesses and had already testified!
"Zhang Mei is a person, an individual! Her own wishes are above all else. Even if you are her mother, you have no right to force her to marry!"
"Now I ask you to return the bride price immediately, and never have such thoughts again, otherwise, I will definitely arrest you!"
As soon as she heard that she might be arrested, Zhang Mei's mother no longer dared to do so. She hurriedly went into the house and took out the gift, "I'll pay it back! I'll pay it back, but please don't arrest me!"
When the villagers saw this scene, they started laughing.
"If I had known this, you wouldn't have sold your daughter in the first place! Let me see how you explain it to that cripple now!"
"Their family is not easy to mess with. Just watch, the old Zhang family is going to be in trouble!"
The cripple would definitely not dare to cause trouble with the police and Zhang Mei, but he would definitely not let Zhang Mei's mother go.
She will have to endure it in the future!
The female police officer conducted another round of legal education before finally leaving.
Lin Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Mei with a smile, "You see, you are free now. Go to my house today and sleep with me. Then follow me to the town tomorrow. Don't stay at home."
"Otherwise, she might find other ways to tease you. You don't want to come back in the future. Just kiss your father. This mother... you just take care of her until she grows old. Don't worry about anything else."
After all, she is a biological mother, so we can't just break off the relationship. No matter what time, filial piety can overwhelm people.
Zhang Mei nodded, "Then I'll go in and pack my things."
Zhang Mei's mother immediately wanted to follow, but Lin Xiaoyu held her back, "You can't come in! Zhang Mei must follow me today!"
"Folks, you have also seen how her biological mother treats Zhang Mei. I must take her away."
"Otherwise, if a mother like her beats and scolds her, how can Zhang Mei stay in this house? What's worse, she might even beat her own daughter so hard that she can't even get out of bed!"
"I know this!" A villager immediately said, "There was one person who didn't want his son to go out to work, but in the end, he found a way to break his leg, and now he is still lying at home!"
It was because there was a precedent that Lin Xiaoyu deliberately mentioned it in order to make the consequences of the matter seem more serious.
In this case, there is a reason for Zhang Mei's departure. Not only can Zhang Mei's mother not stop her, she can't do anything to Zhang Mei, otherwise the villagers will be the first to suspect her!
Zhang Mei's mother gritted her teeth angrily and could only stare at Lin Xiaoyu, but she didn't dare to do anything else.
Zhang Mei came out with a small bundle. She knew her mother's virtues, so she opened it and gave her a look.
"I only brought a few changes of clothes and five dollars of my own."
"Your five dollars, this is mine!" Zhang Mei's mother raised her hand to grab it.
Lin Xiaoyu immediately grabbed her hand, "This is what Zhang Mei earned from weaving bamboo baskets. This is her money. She is not yet eighteen years old. As a mother, you must support her. And you just let Zhang Mei." Aren't you afraid that she'll starve to death if the money doesn't leave home?"
Everyone looked down on Zhang Mei's mother at first, so they immediately spoke again.
"It's just that your daughter is at home and you don't let her have enough to eat when she works for you every day. Now she is going to the town and you don't even give her a penny. Don't you just want to starve her to death? ?”
The village chief also spoke, "These five dollars must be given to Zhang Mei! Otherwise, get out of the village and don't come back again! I will tell the old Zhang family when they come back!"
"There is no place in our village for a vicious woman like you who can even starve your daughter to death!"
Zhang Mei's mother took her hand back angrily, "You... just wait for me!"
After saying that, she went straight into the house, seemingly too embarrassed to come out again.
Lin Xiaoyu thanked the villagers one by one, and then took Zhang Mei to his home, "Zhang Mei, I have something to ask clearly."
"I want you to work here from now on. I'll give you fifty a month and I'll also give you dividends. One or two hundred a month won't be a problem."
"But there is a premise, that is, I will teach you cooking skills and help you open a shop, so the cooking aspect must be kept confidential."
"I believe you will keep it secret, but I don't trust your mother. If you are not cruel, I really can't entrust you with such an important matter. I can only help you find other jobs."
"Think about it, if one day you open a store and make money, and your mother finds out, will she come and cause trouble?"
Zhang Mei wanted to express her loyalty eagerly, but when she heard these words, she suddenly fell silent.
This is indeed something that her mother can do. As long as it is profitable and she has money, she can be completely shameless and live in mischief.
Even if a mother has millions of bad things, as a daughter, she must bear them, otherwise it will be unfilial!
When the time comes, let alone being stabbed in the spine, you might not be able to get married.
Zhang Mei is still a very traditional woman at heart. She wants to marry a good man so as to break away from her family.
"So you must be cruel and tell your father everything you have suffered. I have asked someone to deliver the message. He will be back within two days. Can you leave the family and live a good life in the future? , it’s up to you to marry a good man.”
Zhang Mei opened her mouth, she wanted to say that she was her mother after all, but after thinking about what she had done, even wanting to marry her to a cripple just for two hundred yuan, it seemed that it was not that difficult.
"I see."
Lin Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction, "You don't have to feel any burden. This is your family matter. I just gave you a suggestion, but I won't force you to do it."
"No matter what you choose in the end, we are all friends. When you need help, you can come to me. You will live with me in the town for these two days. Your father is a good person and he will understand you."
After that, Lin Xiaoyu went to a third house.
This is Lin Haiqiang's buddy's house. When Lin Xiaoyu's mother passed away, it was the other party who helped a lot, which prevented Lin Haiqiang's family from completely collapsing.
The other party is in his forties this year. Although he has a daughter-in-law, they have been infertile for many years.
Lin Xiaoyu took the opportunity to see if it was possible to help with the treatment. If they could have children in the future, they would definitely be very grateful to him and needless to say how loyal they were.
"Xiaoyu, you're here." Sun Jianye said with a smile, very happy to see Lin Xiaoyu.
Because of Lin Xiaoman, not only did her temperament change drastically, but she also stopped interacting with the original people. But this was also a good thing. After all, it was normal for her daughter to change when she encountered this kind of thing again when she got older.
Lin Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "Uncle Sun, let me come to see you and aunt."
"What's so interesting about us two? Come in and sit down. I'll ask your aunt to make brown sugar water for you."
