To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Even when she was still downstairs, she could recognize her mother's voice amidst the bustling noise.

Why is her mother here?

She quickened her pace and rushed forward.

A crowd of onlookers gathered in the dormitory corridor.

She squeezed in and saw her mother standing at the door, pulling at her second sister, who was clinging to the door and refusing to let go. Her mother was cursing at her.

"You heartless little bitch! I raised you with my own hands, and this is how you repay me! If I had known you were all like this, I would have rather drowned you in a water vat, damn it all..."

Her mother was very eloquent; she could scold someone for half an hour without repeating herself. Her second sister was already sobbing uncontrollably from the scolding and couldn't lift her head.

Lin Qingping couldn't wait for her mother to scold her for half an hour, so she rushed up and stood next to her second sister, grabbing her wrist.

"Sister...Sister..." Lin Qingyun saw her savior, grabbed the door and hugged Lin Qingping's waist, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, I don't want to get married, I don't want to get married?"

Lin Qingping shielded her younger sister tightly behind her, then turned to look at her mother with a sharp gaze. "What's going on? Didn't you say you would no longer concern your second sister with anything?"

Her mother involuntarily shrank back a moment after being glared at, but immediately straightened her back again. "I'm her mother! Would I harm her or you? Wasn't it me who arranged your marriage? If I hadn't arranged this marriage, would you have the good life you have now?"

Gu Juncheng and his family are both good people, that's true. But without that 100 yuan dowry, could the marriage have gone through? Where did that 100 yuan dowry end up?

As for her younger sister, she suffered so much in her past life, how could this be for her own good?

Lin Qingping stared directly at her mother and sneered, "Yes! It's for my second sister's good! Can we use her to get 500 yuan for a bride price? To sell her to a cripple? Where can you find such a good mother?"

Her mother's face changed, and she stammered, "That...that marriage, wasn't it already called off? The betrothal gifts were all returned...This time, this time we've really found a good family...they're all healthy and well-off, so many girls in the village want to get married but can't..."

"Really? How much is the bride price this time?" Lin Qingping said sarcastically. "Have you forgotten that I spent 500 yuan to redeem my second sister from her servitude?"

Immediately, murmurs arose from the crowd of onlookers.

"How can something like redemption still exist in this modern era?"

"This is just too outrageous..."

Lin Qingping gave a mocking laugh. "Yes! A mother wants to marry her youngest daughter off to a cripple for a dowry of 500 yuan. The eldest daughter has no choice but to spend 500 yuan to redeem her sister from her mother. Isn't that a rare thing?"

The surrounding chatter became louder.

"What kind of mother is this?!"

"Is she my biological mother?"

"So, you're saying you raise a daughter just to sell her?"

Amidst the whispers, Lin Qingping's mother's face turned a deep purplish-red.

"So, Mother, how much money did you sell Second Sister for this time? I'll pay again! I'd like to see how many more times you're going to sell your daughters! How much ransom money are you going to take from me!" Lin Qingping pressed, her words sharp and insistent.

Her mother finally had no reply, and in a fit of rage, she waved her hand and shouted, "Take her away! I refuse to believe that a mother can't take her daughter away! Is there no justice in this world?"

Lin Qingping never expected that her mother would bring so many people.

Besides her brother, there were several burly men.

Her younger brother was fine, but he was a coward, hiding behind his mother and not daring to breathe.

Several burly men stepped out from the crowd; none of them were people she recognized.

Lin Qingping could only protect her second sister behind her, never letting her guard down, but she was still panicked inside.

She could handle her mother's nagging and demands for money, but neither she nor her second sister were strong enough to fight back; there was nothing she could do about it.

"Please go to the security office, comrades, and ask the security staff to call the police!"

Her mother, however, was extremely arrogant, saying, "Now you know fear?"

Lin Qingping didn't know if she had gone to the security office. In her panic, she kept looking for an escape route, but the corridor was only so wide and was completely blocked. The only way to run was to jump out of the window, which would mean serious injury if not death...

At the critical moment, Gu Youlian and Du Gen arrived and stood anxiously in front of Lin Qingping to protect the two sisters.

However, Du Genwen was weak and Gu Youlian was a woman, so how could they be a match for those strong men? They were pushed away in a few moves. At the same time, a strong man grabbed the hand of Lin Qingping's second sister behind her.

Lin Qingping stubbornly refused to let him pass, so the big man kicked her directly in the stomach.

Lin Qingping collapsed to the ground, feeling excruciating pain.

Most importantly, the second sister was caught by them and being dragged out.

The second sister, with her last bit of strength, refused to go.

Lin Qingping gritted her teeth and got up, hugging her second sister tightly once again.

"You little bitch! You dare to come back! I'll beat you to death!" the man shouted, and at the same time, a big foot kicked out.

Lin Qingping wanted to dodge, but because she was holding her second sister and couldn't let go, she knew she couldn't avoid the kick and was about to be hit again.

She even closed her eyes, bracing herself for being kicked, hoping the security guards would arrive quickly. As long as she had breath, she couldn't let her second sister be taken away by them!

She can get hurt, she can skip college, and she's already studied a lot in her past life, but Second Sister is different. Second Sister must not follow the old path again!

With this obsession in his heart, he waited for that kick to land on her, and he waited for the pain to come.

However, all she heard was a scream.

That kick didn't land.

She had her back to them and didn't know what was happening, but her second sister saw it.

She heard her second sister exclaim in surprise and delight, "Brother-in-law!"

Brother-in-law?

Lin Qingping was a little dazed. She turned around abruptly, and it really was him...

Gu Juncheng.

The burly man who had tried to kick was now lying on the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning.

Gu Juncheng and Xiao Tian stood in front of her and her second sister, the two of them separating them from the burly men.

Two burly men, unwilling to accept defeat, tried to take advantage of their numbers to rob the place again. With a wave of their hand and a shout, several men rushed forward, intending to start a brawl.

As a result, before Lin Qingping could even see what happened, all of them were sent flying and lay on the ground unable to get up.

Lin Qingping's mother panicked upon seeing this, and her younger brother hid behind her, trembling and repeatedly bowing to Gu Juncheng, "Sister...brother-in-law...no...it's not my fault...I...I don't know anything..."

Lin Qingping's mother was also trembling, but she managed to stand firm, relying on her status as a mother-in-law, and even mustered up the courage to point at Gu Juncheng and say, "Fine...you...you're not going to hit me, your own mother, too?"

Gu Juncheng stood at the dormitory entrance, blocking the door completely, as if he were a one-man army.

He was never one to smile, and when he was serious, his presence was incredibly imposing. Now that he was suppressing his anger, his expression was even more frightening.
