His friends were all afraid of himing to ask them for a loan. As for the money he had lent to others previously, those people either said that they really had no money, or told him to take their lives instead.


    Kong Lu was timid and afraid of trouble. If he really forced someone to death for this little bit of money, he would not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.


    Although everyone had only borrowed about 10 dors from him, the total amount was more than 300 dors. He had lent out even more initially. It was Xia He who could not take it anymore and went from house to house to ask for repayment.


    Kong Lu even had a big fight with Xia He because of this matter. He felt that she embarrassed him and made him unable to hold his head high in front of his colleagues. He felt too ashamed to face anyone at work.


    Later on, he found out that Xia He only asked for money from people who had been transferred out from his current workce unit. She did not ask any of his current colleagues at the workce and only went to visit them to express her sympathy and said that it did not matter about how long it took for them to return the money.


    After Kong Lu calmed down these few days, he realized that Xia He had been a good wife to him during their years of marriage. Although in everyone''s eyes, she was a person who was not good at cooking and doing housework, it was already very nice of her to treat Old Madam Kong and Kong Li respectfully even when his mother made things so difficult for her.


    He was not a good husband.


    "Say something! When is your wifeing home! Is sheing back to this house!" Old Madam Kong said fiercely.


    Kong Lu could not take it anymore and shouted at Old Madam Kong, "She won''t being back! Are you satisfied! You only know how to ask! What were you thinking back then! What were you thinking when you bullied her! Now that she wants to divorce me, you''re here asking me for her!"


    Old Madam Kong had never seen Kong Lu so angry with her. Could it be that Xia He was serious this time?


    No, this must not happen. How could Kong Lu''s sry be enough to support her? She must go to the capital to look for Xia He!


    For an ordinary family, 10 dors a month could get them a luxurious life in the countryside. Not only did Old Madam Kong ask Kong Lu for 100 dors a month, but she also asked Xia He for 120 dors. Sometimes, she even asked for more.


    In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xia He gave her money on time every month and treated it as using money to avoid trouble. Anyway, she earned enough to do that, although this in turn meant that she did not manage to have any savings.


    Seeing that the time limit given by Xia He had already been exceeded, Kong Lu rushed into Kong Li''s room to look for her savings. Thest time she went to the capital, she took so much money. She must still have some money left.


    "Elder brother! What are you doing! That''s my money! What right do you have to touch my money! That''s myst bit of money! Return it to me!" Kong Li rushed forward to fight with Kong Lu.


    Although Kong Lu was a soldier, he could not withstand the force of Kong Li charging at him with her 200-pound body. He was knocked a few meters away by Kong Li on the spot.


    "What do you mean by your money! If not for you, would I need topensate Xia He an amount of 2,000 dors? Would Xia He divorce me?" After saying that, Kong Lu took the money he had gathered and went to the bank to do a transfer.


    Kong Li hugged the few dors scattered on the ground and wept loudly. These were all the money she had hidden away. No one knew how much money she had, not even Old Madam Kong. It was the money she had been saving up for her marriage.


    Although she was usually extravagant, she still managed to save more than 200 dors in secret. She had heard from her neighbor that someone as fat as her would not be able to buy a nice wedding dress off the shelf, but she might be able to get a custom-made one if she was willing to splurge.


    After asking around about the cost, she managed to save more than 200 dors by holding herself back from buying food.


    However, Kong Lu had taken everything away. How could she get married in the future!


    "Mom! What should I do? I can''t get married anymore! What should I do? I don''t have money for my clothes!" Kong Li cried.


    Old Madam Kong did not even think about why Kong Li had so much money. She was now focused on the fact that Xia He wanted to abandon this family. Not only did she want to divorce her son, but she also wanted them to fork out arge sum of money.


    She had not even gotten a divorce but she did not want toe home anymore. She was simply disrespectful to her inws. Old Madam Kong wanted to go to the capital to demand an exnation. The Xia family was simply too much!


    "Don''t cry! Let''s go! Let''s go to the capital and talk to Xia He! We can''t let her bully us like this. It''s not up to her to make any decision in this family! As long as she''s not divorced, she''s still my daughter-inw! She has to listen to me!" With that, Old Madam Kong returned to her room to pack her luggage.
