Chapter 320: Chen’er Flexes His Power

"Gu Zhigang, you actually have the nerve to call me? I want to divorce you!"

As soon as Liu Lizhen heard his voice on the phone, she couldn’t help but roar in anger.

What followed was a string of swear words, nonstop.

"Shut the hell up!"

Gu Zhigang was infuriated, finding himself inexplicably labeled a swindler and fugitive, with his anger having nowhere to escape.

At this moment, as soon as he heard this tigress of his home, not even giving him a chance to explain,

just starting with a barrage of cursing, he couldn’t help but explode in rage.

"Divorce, I’m telling you, there’s no chance! And I’m not some damn swindler, I’ve been scammed! Right now, I have the 300,000 yuan I just received. If you divorce me, don’t expect to get a penny."

Liu Lizhen on the other end of the phone started laughing mockingly, her tone frighteningly cold.

"Pah! What 300,000 yuan? Stop daydreaming. Why don’t you say it’s 3 million? You just want to trick me into coming back, don’t you? Do you really think I’m an idiot? Plus, with your pathetic abilities, you earning 300,000? Tell me, where the hell did you get that money from?"

Hearing Liu Lizhen’s mockery, Gu Zhigang felt a surge of frustration.

He couldn’t believe that after all these years of marriage, having spoken as he did, she still didn’t believe him.

She even joined the villagers in accusing him straight up of being a swindler, of defrauding property.

This only intensified the anger and resentment in Gu Zhigang’s heart.

"You think I wanted this? I traded my life for it! I was living with those real swindlers in Huacheng every damn day. If it weren’t for Chen’er coming to save me, I might never have made it back in this lifetime. The 300,000 yuan is compensation that Chen’er helped me get through a lawsuit."

Upon hearing this, Liu Lizhen suddenly paused; she was very aware of Gu Zhigang’s capabilities.

Even if his whole 200-plus-pound body were sold for meat, it wouldn’t be worth 300,000.

But if it involved Chen’er and his family from the great clan, that would be a different story. She had heard in the past few days from her sister-in-law that Chen’er’s family owned property and a business in Haicheng.

They were making a big splash!

If they indeed helped, then it wasn’t so inconceivable that the pathetic Gu Zhigang could have earned 300,000 yuan.

At the thought of this, Liu Lizhen’s mood suddenly heated up—that was 300,000 yuan!

If she could get her hands on that money, why would she stay with a loser like Gu Zhigang?

She could just take off, live high and mighty in a new place, wouldn’t that be better?

Thinking this, her eyes almost started gleaming with greed.

She immediately reverted to her domineering ways. "Gu Zhigang, you just wait for me at home. If you can’t produce the 300,000 when I get back, I’ll break your legs."

With that, she slammed the phone down, gathered her things, and started rushing home in a hurry.

At this point, Gu Zhigang, hearing the continuous busy signal from the phone, was livid.

"This bitch, she wouldn’t listen to pleas, but the mention of money and she’s coming back—that’s definitely no good intention."

With that thought, he immediately clutched the travel bag that held the money tightly against him.

He pondered whether to find a place to hide it right away, but he had nowhere to go in the village at the moment.

He felt uneasy about leaving the money anywhere, and while he hesitated, Liu Lizhen had already returned in a flurry—finding people in this village was, indeed, incredibly quick.

There was nothing he could do. Just a jump over a dirt road, and three minutes later, they could meet!

As soon as Liu Lizhen saw him, she immediately started yelling: "Where’s the money? Hurry up and hand it over. I am your wife, and I must manage the 300,000 yuan."

Gu Zhigang also refused to show weakness and shouted back, "Where would the money come from? There’s no money at all. You’re the one calling me a liar, so you better get lost!"

However, Liu Lizhen’s eyes were sharp, and she immediately spotted the black travel bag that he was clutching tightly in his arms.

Without a word, she rushed forward to snatch it away, shouting, "Still saying there’s no money? Then what’s this? Open it up and let me see."

In her frenzy, Liu Lizhen tore at the travel bag while Gu Zhigang, just as unwilling to back down, resisted fiercely, for this was something he had exchanged his life for. The two of them tugged and pulled until a ripping sound was heard.

The travel bag was suddenly torn open, revealing a large gash.

Stacks of neatly arranged banknotes began to spill out from the inside.

At this sight, Liu Lizhen’s eyes turned red, and she became even more wildly excited. She lunged over, grabbed the money, and started shoving it into her own bosom.

"Hahaha, three hundred thousand, it’s really three hundred thousand! This time the old lady really struck it rich!"

The surrounding villagers, who had come to watch the commotion, were shocked at the sight of so much money.

Though they were tempted, they didn’t dare to join the fray.

After all, in their hearts, these villagers still believed that Gu Zhigang had escaped from jail after robbing the money.

Not to mention that the Gu Family now had Gu Chen, such an influential figure. If they managed to anger him this time,

they might not gain any money and instead suffer repercussions; after all, the village wasn’t big, and everyone knew each other.

However, Liu Lizhen at this moment already knew what the truth was and as Gu Zhigang’s wife, she naturally wasn’t afraid of him.

The two of them, in their desperation for money, fought and scrambled in front of everyone, turning it into an all-out brawl.

Tian Laosì saw what was happening and became increasingly anxious, so he immediately called Gu Chen.

"Chen’er, your brother and sister-in-law are fighting in the street, you better come and see!"

At that moment, Gu Chen was sitting on the sofa, enjoying fresh strawberries with his family, all smiles and happiness.

But upon hearing that his elder brother and sister-in-law were fighting over money and nearly killing each other,

he didn’t even have time for words. He hung up the phone, jumped into his car, and hastily drove to the village.

Luckily, there weren’t many surveillance cameras these days. He drove at breakneck speed and soon arrived at the village’s only main road!

With a loud "bang", Gu Chen slammed the car door shut.

Seeing the two people entangled and fighting on the ground, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Liu Lizhen and Gu Zhigang, who were nearly blinded by rage, suddenly froze when they saw Gu Chen barge in.

"Bro... brother, when did you get back?"

Gu Zhigang, staring at the now infuriated Gu Chen, was so scared that he trembled and stammered out his question.

"If I don’t come back, am I supposed to wait for you two to kill each other?"

Gu Chen, who had always had a good temper, was genuinely angry with these two.

Especially with his sister-in-law Liu Lizhen, since Tian Laosì had already explained everything to him over the phone.

Now, looking at this insatiable woman, Gu Chen felt a surge of rage, "Liu Lizhen, I’m warning you, from now on you’d better behave and live properly with my brother."

"You two are husband and wife. I don’t care how you divide the money, but if there’s another scandal like this in front of so many of our fellow villagers, shaming the Gu Family, I, Gu Chen, will never tolerate it!"

With that said, Gu Chen pulled out a stack of cash from his car and threw it in front of everyone, then stared into her eyes and continued, "You like money, right? This money is for your life. Do you think it’s enough?"

Hearing this, Liu Lizhen let out a shriek, quickly knelt down in front of Gu Chen, and began to apologize profusely.
