"Dad, the other party is running towards..." Li Xiaobo felt that something was wrong.
Li Wenji knew his son was smart and would definitely be suspicious, so he immediately interrupted his thoughts: "Let's not talk about other things for now, go and get the things back. No matter what the other party's intentions are, Fangting's life is the most important."
Thinking this person was after the Yun family's things, Wang Juan cursed: "Li Shutong is a troublemaker. It's all her fault for leaving these things at home. Fang Ting has been terribly harmed by her."
“Bang!”
Li Wenji slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with anger. "Wang Juan, you have no right to criticize Shutong. Listen carefully, Li Shutong will always be the daughter of our Li family, and will always be my sister. I will protect the things she entrusted to me, even if it costs me my life. Now that something like this has happened, the responsibility is not hers, it's all yours. If you hadn't been selfish and hadn't touched her things, this wouldn't have happened to Fangting."
"Okay, okay, okay, Li Wenjie, I finally understand. Li Shutong is your family member, but I am not. I am an outsider." Wang Juan was angered by his words.
Seeing them arguing at this time, Li Xiaozong was extremely frustrated and yelled, "Mom, can you please stop talking and get down to business? Fangting has been kidnapped, and they specifically want the Yun family's jewelry. If you don't want your sister to get hurt, quickly go get the money and find the buyer, redeem all the things, and exchange them for her."
Speaking of redeeming things with money, Wang Juan, who had just been fighting like a cock, paused, a little afraid to look at them: "I, I, the money, all the money has been spent."
The Li family's father and son's expressions changed: "Has it all been spent?"
"Bad, almost."
Wang Juan usually spends money lavishly and never saves. She always spends all the money her husband sends her every month, and she has no savings at all.
After selling the jewelry, she lived a particularly comfortable and carefree life for the past two months. She even had several dresses tailor-made for herself and her daughter. She lied to her parents-in-law and said that the money was sent to her by a man, so no one else in the family suspected anything.
When the two elders and the youngest son's family came back, the house was in chaos. Li Wenjie searched the house thoroughly and only found a deposit of 20 yuan. He was so angry that he almost started a fight.
The two elders learned from their grandson what happened at home today. Mother Li fell to the ground and beat her chest and stamped her feet: "What sin did our family commit to have such a prodigal son and woman."
These days everyone lives frugally and tries to save as much money as possible to marry their sons and prepare dowries for their daughters.
People like them who have urban household registration basically have someone working in a state-owned enterprise in their family, and each family has some savings, not much, but definitely a few hundred yuan.
The three members of the Li family, father and son, all have decent jobs with good salaries. The old couple also have savings, but the family only has 20 yuan in savings, and the rest of the money has been spent by Wang Juan and her daughter.
The Li family made quite a lot of noise. Although the door was closed, many nosy neighbors came to eavesdrop. They didn't know that the Li family was looking for money to redeem something, and just thought that Li Wenji came back to check the accounts.
When they learned that there was only 20 yuan at home, not only were the Li family members angry, but even the other neighbors were fed up and started to accuse Wang Juan of being bad at housekeeping.
Li Wenxiu, the youngest son of the Li family, had just entered the house and helped search around. He couldn't find any other money, so he said to his older brothers and nephews with a gloomy face, "You gave the family a lot of money. It's impossible for the mother and daughter to spend it all. I think the Wang family must have looted quite a bit."
After he reminded them, the Li Xiaozong brothers remembered that their grandmother often came to visit their home and always left happily, so she must have taken a lot of things with her.
Li Wenji was so angry that he felt dizzy. He pointed at Wang Juan, who had already hidden in his daughter's room and said, "Xiao Zong, Xiao Bo, go and bring her here."
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Wenxiu was afraid that he would make a mistake due to his impulsiveness, so he quickly persuaded him, "Brother, calm down first. My family still has some money. Use it to redeem the things."
"Boss, your mother and I have saved some money. You can use it to redeem Shutong's things first. We can deal with the troubles at home later." The gray-haired father Li sighed.
Li Wenji gnashed his teeth and continued to say to his two sons, "Go call her over. Let's first find out how much she was sold for."
Wang Juan is usually very domineering at home, but today, facing so many angry eyes of the Li family, she was a little scared. In the end, without them forcing her, she honestly told them where the things went and the selling price.
"Go and get back the money and jewelry your mother's family took away. If you can't get them back, you will never be allowed to step into the Li family's gate again." Li Wenji was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Wang Juan really loved her daughter and was afraid that she would be killed, so she immediately twisted her fat body and ran back to her parents' home to ask for things.
After she left, the two elders got up and went back to their room to get money. Mother Li took out all the coffin books and said, "Big brother, use this to redeem the things first."
"Mom, no need. I still have some money. I'll buy the things back when she comes back from Wang's house."
Li Wenji didn't ask for the money from the two elders and stood up. "Dad, Mom, don't cook tonight. We have a guest at home. I asked her to have dinner with us tonight."
After saying that, he said to his second brother's family, "Wenxiu, you guys go too."
"Who's here?" Father Li asked hurriedly.
"Sister Hua Jiao from my cousin's grandmother's family." Li Xiaobo answered him.
"Ah, Hua Jiao is here." Father Li was delighted.
Wang Juan wasn't here, and the others were all reliable. They wouldn't go around saying anything. Li Wenji told them the truth: "It wasn't Hua Jiao, it was Hua Ying who came."
"What? Huaying is here?" Li Wenxiu was slightly surprised and asked hurriedly, "Brother, where is Huaying now?"
Li Wenji now revealed how they had teamed up to deal with Wang Juan and her daughter, pointing to the "pig's hand" thrown on the table. "This was brought by Huaying, and she deliberately used it to scare Wang Juan."
Li family: “…”
Li Wenxiu's wife, Xue Liyuan, laughed and said, "It looks quite like Fang Ting's hand. The size is just right. If you don't look closely, you really can't tell."
"Ha ha..."
Li Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing, holding her stomach. She usually had a bad relationship with her cousin, and they had completely different personalities. She felt that the pig's trotters sent by her cousin from the Yun family had a very appropriate meaning.
Her cousin is as fat as a pig and as stupid as a pig, which is very appropriate.
Li Wenxiu wanted to laugh, but he held it back and asked the real question: "Brother, why did Huaying come to Haicheng? You came back last night and said Shutong and the others were safe. Did you ask Huaying where they are now?"
“Yes.”
While they were still talking, Yun Huaying had already followed Wang Juan to Wang's house. She was sure that Wang Juan couldn't get her things back, so she had to go there in person.
