Cheng Chunkui, Jiang Bin, and Du Guoqiang stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Song Wenhui ride her bicycle over.
All three were somewhat surprised, yet felt it made sense.
After all, Cheng Xiao Kui is Song Wen Hui's daughter, and Song Wen Hui would surely care about her daughter's life and death.
Song Wenhui parked her bicycle and asked, "Has your sister returned?"
Cheng Chun-kui shook her head and said, "Not yet. Mom, didn't you go to find someone to rescue Xiao-kui? Who did you find? How is Xiao-kui?"
Song Wenhui pursed her lips and said, "Who can I turn to? I don't know anyone. Let's see if Si Muyang and Song Jingchuan can save her."
If neither of them can save Cheng Xiao Kui, what other options do I have?
Cheng Chun-kui said, "Mom, if Cheng Xiao-kui is sentenced, it could be the death penalty."
She deliberately exaggerated the sentence to see Song Wenhui's reaction.
Song Wenhui was stunned for a moment, but after two seconds she came to her senses and waved her hand, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't just say the death penalty and then execute me."
Do you think the government will listen to you? The sentence the government can impose isn't even decided yet.
Cheng Chunqiu said, "What if it's decided that it's a death sentence for your sister? What will you do then?"
Song Wenhui pondered for a few seconds and said, "What else can we do? She was just unlucky and brought bad luck upon herself..."
Thankfully, she didn't hurt any of you. If she had affected you, how would I have survived?
Your younger brother was cursed by her; he developed a brain tumor and almost died. Her father was also cursed by her; he died in a factory accident.
Cheng Chunqiu said, "What era are we living in? Why are you still talking about these feudal superstitions? What you're saying isn't scientific at all!"
Song Wenhui said, "How is that unscientific? When her father died, her grandmother and the neighbors all said that I was a jinx to children and men."
Actually, it wasn't my fault at all. It was just that Cheng Xiao Kui's birth chart was unlucky, which caused their deaths.
She wanted to continue arguing with Cheng Chun Kui, but then she saw that guests were arriving.
She didn't continue, she said, "Customers have arrived, you'd better take care of the business!"
She walked over and joined the aunties and grandmas in their work.
Cheng Chunkui quickly greeted the arriving guests, glancing back at Song Wenhui.
Although Song Wenhui believed that Cheng Xiaokui was the jinx to her son and her husband, it was fortunate that she knew to help take care of Cheng Xiaokui's business.
After the customers ordered what they wanted, Cheng Chunqiu calculated the prices.
In this day and age, you have to pay before you eat. Cheng Chun Kui put the money she received into the tin box where she kept her money.
As it grew darker, more and more people came to eat.
Everyone was whispering and discussing Cheng Xiao Kui's arrest, and without exception, everyone who came asked Cheng Chun Kui about Cheng Xiao Kui.
When everyone heard that Cheng Xiao Kui had not yet been released, they all showed expressions of regret.
Cheng Chun Kui thought that business would definitely be affected today because Cheng Xiao Kui wasn't there and there was no one to sing.
But to her surprise, it seemed that everyone was supporting her family's business; even though no one was singing, they still came to eat.
Cheng Chunqiu didn't see Si Muyang or Song Jingchuan all night.
Only after all the food in the bar had been sold out did Song Wenhui say goodbye to Cheng Chunqiu and tell her that she was leaving.
The middle-aged woman standing behind Song Wenhui kept pointing at the tin box where the money was kept, towards Cheng Chunkui.
Cheng Chun Kui immediately understood what the old lady meant. She quickly went over and opened the box containing the money.
The box was empty; where was the money?
Cheng Chun-kui turned around and chased after Song Wen-hui.
Song Wenhui had already walked out of the yard and was using her car keys to unlock her bicycle.
Cheng Chun-kui caught up and grabbed Song Wen-hui's arm, saying, "You took the money! Hand it over, it's all Xiao-kui's!"
Song Wenhui reached out and slapped Cheng Chunkui's hand. A sharp look flashed in her eyes as she said, "I am Xiaokui's mother. What's hers is mine! Who do you think you are, daring to stop me from taking the money?"
I wouldn't give you this money even if I threw it into the river and heard the splash!
Cheng Chun Kui said, "Give it to me? I never wanted this money, it all belongs to Xiao Kui!"
Song Wenhui said, "You say you won't take it, and I'll believe you? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
There's so much money sitting in that tin box, it would be a miracle if you didn't take it!
"Get out of my way! You've got some nerve, daring to block my path! Don't forget who you are!"
She threatened Cheng Chunqiu fiercely, and she found that threatening Cheng Chunqiu with this matter was very effective!
Since it worked, she continued to use it.
She hopped on her bicycle and started to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "You stay here and keep an eye on things. Has Si Muyang come back yet? What did he say? I'll come over tomorrow, and you can tell me then."
She stomped her foot hard on the bicycle pedal.
Her canvas crossbody bag was full of money.
This money is clearly more than what you can make from okra!
This money should have belonged to her son anyway. It's good that Cheng Xiaokui isn't here; she can take it all home and deposit it for her son!
Cheng Chun Kui stomped her foot in anger, but looking at Song Wen Hui's back, she was completely helpless.
She looked up and sighed, the image of Cheng Xiao Kui appearing in her mind again.
Si Muyang didn't come, and neither did Song Jingchuan; she had nowhere to inquire about Cheng Xiaokui's whereabouts...
She went back into the courtyard and told the aunties and grandmas what had happened.
Several aunties and older women were also furious, and they all angrily cursed Song Wenhui for being biased.
