Chapter 518: Unless You Give Me Three Hundred Thousand
Jiang Muye
Boss Cutie
Qi Bin nodded. "Good, good, good. Mom, I'll go get the doctor right away!"
As Qi Bin went to fetch the doctor, he glared viciously at Suya. "You just wait. My mom's getting on in years. If anything happens to her, you're going to pay dearly!"
Suya's breath caught in her throat.
Qi Bin's own injuries were minor. Nothing serious.
But who knew what was going on with Qi Bin's mother? If something really went wrong, then she… she was finished!
Qi Bin's mother was immediately taken for a checkup. The specifics were unknown.
Suya stood in the hallway, anxious and uneasy.
She was completely out of her wits now.
She had never imagined something like this would happen.
How she wished someone would come and help her. She was so on edge she was about to break down.
All sorts of unease coursed through her body. It was agonizing.
Around nine at night, she stood alone at the hospital entrance.
"Suya, what's going on!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Suya felt she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She immediately looked over and saw her parents and her little brother appear.
"Dad, Mom, little brother!" Suya's eyes gradually grew moist.
She felt like her support had arrived.
"You said on the phone just now that you pushed your mother-in-law?" Father Su questioned Suya sternly.
"I… I… I couldn't take it anymore, so in a fit of anger I…"
"Damn it, you worthless wretch! A daughter really is cheap goods with a cheap backbone! How much more trouble are you going to bring on me!" Father Su was furious. He directly slapped Suya hard across the face.
Suya was completely stunned by the slap.
Her little face had already turned bright red. She covered her cheek and could feel it had swollen up completely.
It hurt. It was awful.
But what hurt more was her family's reaction.
Though Mother Su didn't raise a hand, her eyes were full of disdain. "You're this grown and still running around out there clumsily like a child of a few years old. You caused trouble, you deal with it yourself. Why did you have to drag our whole family into the water? A perfectly good in-law family, gone just like that—who are you going to find now!"
Father Su agreed with Mother Su. "Exactly. The in-laws originally said they could arrange a decent school for your brother. Now that's all down the drain. The bride price was three hundred thousand yuan—enough to pay the down payment on a house for your brother. Now it's all going to go down the drain!"
Her little brother also spoke with contempt. "What use is a useless sister like you? I thought you could get me a residence permit for H City. Now brother-in-law doesn't want you, and I don't want to see you either!"
Suya stared with wide eyes in shock. "I'm the one who got hurt! He hit me, and he cursed at me, and his mom…"
"Enough!" Father Su pointed at Suya's nose and cursed her out. "Suya, go apologize to your mother-in-law right now, then have a good talk with Qi Bin. This marriage has to happen, or I'll beat you to death!"
Suya was full of grievances now.
From childhood, she had given way to her brother in everything.
She had silently sacrificed everything for this family, and the whole family expected her to swallow her anger. She had endured it all.
But now that she was being oppressed like this, her family didn't even understand her—they were even helping the abuser blame her!
Suya's eyes instantly reddened with grievance.
It just so happened that Qi Bin's mother had finished her checkup, and the Su family immediately surrounded the doctor to ask about the situation.
The doctor answered, "It's just a mild concussion. Nothing else is wrong."
That single sentence made Suya breathe a quiet breath of relief.
Just a concussion—that meant there was nothing seriously wrong, and she probably wouldn't have to bear too much responsibility.
But Suya was entirely unprepared for the Qi family to refuse to let it go.
"What! Just let it go like that? The doctor says it's just a concussion now, but what about other problems? You have to arrange a full-body checkup. Even if the results come back fine, who knows if this could leave me with aftereffects!" Qi Bin's mother, her head wrapped in gauze, spoke with a fierce attitude.
Father Su, Mother Su, and Brother Su were all fawning over Qi Bin's mother now.
"The child is still young, she doesn't know any better. Please forgive her."
"I'll apologize on her behalf, Mother-in-Law. Don't be angry. I'll take good care of you, I guarantee there won't be any aftereffects!"
"Right, my sister is just an empty-headed person. Auntie, please don't blame her. Won't she still be your daughter-in-law in the future?"
Qi Bin's mother gave a smug glance at the utterly stifled and embarrassed Suya. "Daughter-in-law? I don't want a daughter-in-law with such a vicious heart. This marriage is off. There's no way I'll let her through my door! Not only is the marriage canceled, but her beating me and my son is not going to be let go either. We have to call the police!"
"She's still a college student now. If she gets a criminal record, it'll be hard for her to find work in the future, won't it? You'd better find a lawyer as soon as possible. Anyway, I'm not going to go easy on her for the sake of past relations. Who told her to disrespect me! And she even cuckolded my son. I can't let this grievance go unaddressed!"
When the Su family heard this, they were beside themselves.
Their daughter not being able to get married was a small matter, but if this got out, the whole family would be finished!
How many people would point at their backs and curse them out?
Just based on Suya two-timing, who would dare marry her!
"You worthless wretch, so shameless! And you still dare to fool around out there!" Mother Su was so furious she gritted her teeth and struck Suya's body.
Suya didn't talk back or fight back.
She was terrified now—afraid that if she fought back even once, an even more violent beating would come.
"Kneel! Apologize!"
Father Su directly pulled off his belt and lashed it viciously across Suya's body.
Suya was scared out of her wits, tears streaming down. She began to cry bitterly. "Dad, don't hit me!"
She tried to hide behind her little brother, but he pushed her out. "What are you doing? Do you want me to get hit by Dad? You're really malicious!"
Suya was stunned.
Malicious?
She had always doted on this little brother the most. Whatever he wanted, she gave him.
She had even wanted to marry Qi Bin to lighten the family's burden and to be able to buy her brother a decent house.
And yet her little brother—not a shred of gratitude, he had instead pushed her into the lashing.
Suya was beaten until her skin was split and flesh torn. She cried from the pain and was scolded into kneeling on the ground.
"Stop hitting me, wuwuwu, I was wrong… I shouldn't have two-timed, I shouldn't have hurt Qi Bin, I should have just kept to my place."
Suya had been frightened by the whipping into holding her head with both hands, her body shrinking against the wall.
"Mother-in-Law, look, she's apologized. Let's just let this matter go," Father Su said, fawning over Qi Bin's mother.
Qi Bin's mother snorted through her nose, still displeased. "Let it go? Save it. Now it's not just physical injuries but psychological trauma too. On what basis should your daughter get off with nothing?"
"One price, three hundred thousand. As long as you pay three hundred thousand, this matter is settled and I won't make any more trouble. Otherwise, I'll go to the media and expose her for cheating out there and beating me and my son! Make a scene at the security bureau, and your daughter could go to jail!"
When Qi Bin's mother laid out this demand, the Su family was shocked.
"That's too much, isn't it? Three hundred thousand is no small sum!" Father Su gritted his teeth.
