“There is indeed a treasure cave…” Su Wantang said.

Upon seeing this, Sun Xiaoli was overjoyed, "Where is it? Let's go there right now!"

“But that’s what my parents told me when I was little… It’s been so long, I can’t remember it clearly.” Su Wantang pondered, “I need to think about it carefully.”

Give me some time.

"Okay, then you should think about it carefully during this time!" Sun Xiaoli's eyes gleamed.

Once she finds the treasure cave, she'll send that brat to the Northeast and torture her to death there!

A ruthless glint also appeared in Zhang Xuehui's eyes.

Once she gets the treasure, she'll kill that little bitch Su Wantang and avenge herself!

...

Sun Xiaoli didn't want to give up on Zhang Hongwei, so she took Zhang Xuehui back to the old house to get some money and see if she could bribe someone to get Zhang Hongwei out of there.

"Mom, Dad's been cheating on you, and you still want to get him out?" Zhang Xuehui said indignantly. "Let him stay in there. We'll just take the treasure and go to Hong Kong to live a good life."

"How can you say such heartless things?" Sun Xiaoli glared at Zhang Xuehui. "Even if he's no good, he's still your father! We're family, blood is thicker than water!"

"Besides, even if we get the treasure, without your father, who will we find in Hong Kong? How will we make a living?"

Zhang Xuehui pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The mother and daughter arrived at their hometown and were completely dumbfounded when they entered the courtyard.

"Where did the peach and pomegranate trees in our yard go?" Sun Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise. The ground was now completely bare.

"Mom, the old hen is gone too!" Zhang Xuehui exclaimed. "And my bicycle is gone too! It was brand new!"

Sun Xiaoli walked into the house with a pale face, and was even more dumbfounded when she saw the empty house.

"It's all gone... all gone..."

"Which heartless thief stole our things!" Sun Xiaoli wailed, tears streaming down her face.

Having two homes emptied out in the same period of time—what good person could withstand such a blow?!

Sun Xiaoli was so distraught that she kept slapping her thigh; she was almost going crazy!

The bed and cabinets in this room have all been moved out!

What about the money...?

Sun Xiaoli searched the house thoroughly, but all that remained was the box containing the money; the house was now empty, devoid of anything.

“It’s over… all the money is gone…” Sun Xiaoli screamed frantically.

She thought of the most important thing—

"The ledger... my ledger..." Sun Xiaoli frantically searched for her ledger, but even the cabinet where it was kept was gone, let alone the ledger itself...

“It’s over…it’s all over…” Sun Xiaoli collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant and lifeless. “If this ledger is discovered, then everything is ruined…this could land me in jail…”

"Which despicable thief stole from my whole family! I curse that bastard to be hit by a car and die when he goes out! You son of a bitch!" Sun Xiaoli slumped to the ground, cursing and swearing, tears streaming down her face, and ranting and raving.

“Mother…” Zhang Xuehui looked around, tears welling up in her eyes, and stamped her feet in anger, “Everything in our house is gone! There’s not a single grain of rice left in the kitchen! All the pots and pans have been taken away…”

"That damned thief! He left us nothing at all!" Sun Xiaoli cried, slapping her thigh. "He's going to let us starve to death! How are we going to survive?"
