Chapter 006 How did you help that despicable couple?

Li Banxia was certain that He Taohua had no grounds to stand up to her on the spot, so she went out of her way to humiliate her.

The pent-up frustration in my heart finally dissipated a little.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Old Su grimacing in pain, wanting to touch his buttocks but feeling ashamed and unable to do it, and he sneered.

“Su Youfu, if you feel you were wronged by this beating, let’s go to your factory leaders and argue our case in front of them. We’ll see if this money should be given to our little family!”

Old Su glanced quickly at He Taohua, then swallowed his anger and didn't voice any objections.

Li Banxia then said, "Since you agree, fine, starting this month, you have to hand over every penny of your salary to your family. If you're short even a penny, I'll go to your factory office to ask..."

"Li Banxia, ​​that's enough!"

Old Su was panting heavily, "I already said that money was for my comrade's child..."

"Who is your comrade-in-arms? What is the child's name? Where do you live? If you don't give me a clear answer, how am I supposed to know if your money is being used to raise someone else's child, or if you've been messing around with other people?" Li Banxia looked at him calmly.

Old Man Su looked up and glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Su Youfu, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and lies will always be exposed one day." Li Banxia's eyes were slightly cold.

Old Su looked away, not daring to meet her gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about, but I can't give you the money."

"Fine, then I'll go find your boss. If you're not afraid of losing face, I don't need to cover it up for you."

Li Banxia was pressing her relentlessly, wanting her to support the family alone while he used his money to support his mistress. He was dreaming!

"There's no time like the present, let's go now."

Li Banxia reached out and grabbed Old Man Su's shirt collar, then lifted her leg and walked out of the courtyard.

Old Su wanted to stay put, but he didn't expect Li Banxia to be so strong. He was pulled and staggered as he followed Li Banxia outside.

As he was about to leave the courtyard, he became so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, and he subconsciously looked at He Taohua.

He Taohua looked at them nervously.

Old Man Su sighed, "Li Banxia, ​​I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you, okay?"

Li Banxia stopped in her tracks.

Old Su glared at her, annoyed. "Give half to your family, and I'll keep half for my comrades..."

He Taohua immediately clenched her hand.

"No, not a single point less." Li Banxia raised her foot again.

Old Man Su, “…Don’t push your luck!”

"You know better than I do who's bullying whom!" Li Banxia looked at him coldly.

Old Su felt uneasy under her gaze and subconsciously looked at He Taohua again. He saw a hint of panic flash across He Taohua's eyes and her lips tremble.

Could it be that Li Banxia has actually discovered something?

"You're putting me in an unjust position. You used to be so understanding, what's wrong with you today?" A forceful approach clearly wouldn't work, so Old Man Su sighed softly, feigning a hurt and aggrieved expression as he looked at Li Banxia with feigned concern.

Li Banxia, ​​"..."

How could she have been fooled by such a face before?!

She turned her head and made a "yue" sound.

The veins on Old Man Su's forehead bulged. "Li Banxia, ​​you've really gone too far."

"You're not going to act anymore?"

Li Banxia's eyes turned cold. "Are you afraid to go to your factory leaders because you're worried about your lies being exposed? Su Youfu, you only have one chance. It's up to you whether you want money or to be disgraced."

A chill ran down Old Man Su's spine; her intuition told her that Li Banxia must have discovered something.

Looking at He Taohua again, her complexion was as bad as Sadako, who had just crawled out of the palace.

These days, if someone is caught having an affair with a married man, they're finished!

He Taohua didn't have time to think much and quickly nodded to Old Man Su, telling him to fool him for now and find another opportunity later.

Old Man Su understood and immediately said, "Here you go, take it all! The child has been saying no for the past two years, but I felt bad for causing him to lose his father, so I wanted to give it to him. I didn't expect you to react so strongly, so forget it..."

Li Banxia raised an eyebrow and gave a cool smile.

They're quite good at making excuses for themselves and justifying their actions.

"Okay, the money is settled. There's one more thing. I don't care how you come up with the solution, from the moment we got our marriage certificate, every penny and every receipt your factory has given me, you have to make up for it!"

Old Man Su said, "Li Banxia, ​​are you never going to stop? How am I supposed to make up for all that money? Do you expect me to do odd jobs? I'm fifty years old, almost ready to retire and enjoy my retirement, spending my time with my grandchildren. Do you really want me to suffer so much for the rest of my life?"

To be honest, seeing him jump up and down made Li Banxia feel happy.

She said with a laugh, "You know that's a lot of money? All these years I've been supporting you and this whole family while working several jobs a month, why don't you ever think about how hard I've worked? All you care about is your comrade's wife and kids, and only they have to suffer, right?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed He Taohua staring at them expectantly, so he turned to her and asked, "He Taohua, you and Su Youfu usually see each other quite often, do you know who his comrades-in-arms are?"

"I……"

He Taohua was so shocked her heart almost jumped out of her chest. "How would I know? I didn't know."

"You don't know either."

Li Banxia sighed and asked her again, "You know that old saying, 'Marry a man for food and clothing.' If a man doesn't support his own wife and children but supports someone else's, who would believe there's nothing fishy going on between them?"

He Taohua dared not respond to that, and simply smiled and let it go.

Li Banxia was not about to let her off the hook and insisted that she say it or not.

He Taohua wished she could turn back time. She would rather throw that plate of red dates with walnuts into the dog than bring it into this yard.

"This... Comrade Su seems like a good person, he shouldn't..."

Li Banxia slammed the fire tongs on the ground and glared at her, "He Taohua, didn't you say you were close to me? Why are you taking that scumbag couple's side?!"

He Taohua, "..."

Someone please save her!

“...Yes, that’s me.” She forced a dry smile.

Li Banxia spat at her, "Pah! Women's words are deceitful! I'll never believe you again!"

He Taohua felt a chill run down her spine; she couldn't continue acting.

"Well, I just remembered I have some soup simmering at home, so I'll head back now."

After saying that, she ignored Li Banxia's reaction and hurried out of the courtyard. The elegance she had shown when she came in wearing a cheongsam now looked rather disheveled.

As she stepped over the threshold, Li Banxia called out, "Hey, He Taohua, I suddenly remembered, I don't think I've ever seen you go out to work. You always eat and dress the best, where did you get the money? My Su Youfu's money, you..."

"ah!"

When He Taohua heard her shouting that she was going to expose her affair with Su Youfu, her heart was pounding. She turned her head to stop her, but she tripped on the threshold and fell with a cry of surprise.

With a ripping sound, she fell to the ground, the slit of her cheongsam opening all the way up to her thigh.

Li Banxia sighed, walked out, and looked down at her condescendingly, "I'm talking about him, what are you feeling guilty about?"
