Sure enough, when Xu Lao Er heard that it was related to Lao Chen, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately stood up warily and stared at Old Chen's house for a while.
Then, Xu Lao Er paced back and forth in the room a few times.
He gritted his teeth and warned Xu Cuihua, "If they come to ask you anything later, don't say anything you can't tell them, understand?"
Now that Xu Lao Er has so much money, he's naturally feeling anxious.
He saw Xu Cuihua nod obediently before he left through the back door, satisfied.
Rural houses are built of mud and stones, and covered with straw.
Most homes have two doors: a front door and a back door.
Xu Lao Er left from the back. After Xu Lao Er left, Xu Cuihua went to the kitchen and brought out a plate of meat.
There wasn't much meat in this dish, but it was the only cured meat left in Xu Lao Er's family.
Xu Cuihua was eating slowly when she suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the doorway.
Is anyone there?
Xu Cuihua knew that those people had arrived.
She put down her chopsticks; the food on the table was almost all gone.
Xu Cuihua collected the dishes and washed them. When she came out, she saw the men who had just entered Old Chen's house, one of whom was standing at her door.
"Hey girl! Do you know the family next door?"
Xu Cuihua looked puzzled. "I know you. Who are you?"
Seeing the wariness in Xu Cuihua's eyes, the man wasn't annoyed. He simply smiled at Xu Cuihua and pointed to the Chen family's house.
"Has Old Chen not been back for several days? I heard he was in a car accident with a woman from your village, is that right?"
Xu Cuihua's expression changed, and she looked at him warily.
"What's it to you? Who are you?"
Seeing Xu Cuihua's unusual reaction, the man's face turned cold.
He walked up to Xu Cuihua and reached out to restrain her.
"You knew the person who died?"
Xu Cuihua bent down specifically to put the bowls and chopsticks in her hands into the basin to wash them.
At that moment, the man grabbed her by the back of the neck, and fate's throat was locked.
Xu Cuihua screamed in fear; proper acting was necessary to put the other person at ease.
The man quickly covered Xu Cuihua's mouth, and then a series of questions came out. After he finished speaking, seeing that Xu Cuihua did not make a sound, he paused. Just as he was about to hit Xu Cuihua, he suddenly realized that he had just covered her mouth.
Fearing that Xu Cuihua would scream, he took out a weapon, pressed it against Xu Cuihua's lower back, and said menacingly.
"Tell me everything you know!"
Xu Cuihua was only pretending, because she knew her neighbors were watching. She knew her neighbors had a habit of getting up at night, that they ate at home at this time, and that they would observe from their homes if they heard a car.
Fearing for her life, she told the man everything.
"My dad said my mom ran off with Lao Chen and told me not to tell anyone else!"
The man frowned sharply upon hearing Xu Cuihua's words.
"Is your mother's name Xu Li?"
Xu Cuihua nodded. "Yes."
When the man saw that Xu Cuihua had admitted it, his face suddenly darkened.
"No wonder!"
He gritted his teeth, his face as black as an old dog in the night.
"Damn Old Chen!"
Now the man thinks that Old Chen must have been using his money to support a woman, and then wanted to elope with her, but ended up getting into a car accident on the way.
But there wasn't a single trace of that much money on the car. Where did Old Chen put it?
"Boss!"
A man's voice rang out, and the man turned around and released Xu Cuihua from his grasp.
He glanced coldly at Xu Cuihua, feeling a strong urge to kill her. But this was, after all, someone else's village; if he killed her, who knew how much trouble it would cause.
Xu Cuihua coughed suddenly. Seeing that the man had left, she hurriedly returned to her home in fear and locked the front door.
The man walked up to his underling, and all he heard was his underling whispering.
"Brother, the safe was opened with a lock, but there were no signs of it being pried open."
Upon hearing this, the man's face grew even more gloomy.
He increasingly felt that Old Chen had taken his money and run off with a woman, only to die in an accident on the way.
The man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, wishing he could drag Old Chen out of the morgue and whip his corpse.
To ensure that Old Chen could stay comfortably there, the man even paid for a red brick house to be built for him, with cement plastered inside.
And what happened? That damned Old Chen!
However, the man still felt something was amiss. He thought for a moment and then said to his younger brother.
"Go and ask around, find out if any strange things have happened in this area recently, or if anyone has been trying to make a fortune."
"yes."
Xu Cuihua didn't go out, but she could already guess the gist of their conversation.
No one knew that she had actually transferred the money.
As for Xu Lao Er? He's always playing cards during the day, how could he have time to keep an eye on money?
At night, Xu Lao Er would want to go and take a look. But Xu Lao Er was afraid of being discovered, so he slept at home in fear all night, only getting up in the middle of the night to dig it open and take a look.
Xu Cuihua was initially worried that after the other party dug it open, they would find that it was fake inside.
But when Xu Cuihua saw that Xu Lao Er was just digging to see if he was still there, she knew that the other side didn't know.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Cuihua's eyes. Soon! Soon it will be Xu Lao Er's turn.
Since she was determined to take revenge, she naturally couldn't let those who had humiliated and abused her when she died get away with it.
Xu Cuihua didn't think her plan was wrong!
If she doesn't scheme, then they schemed against her!
Just like in her past life, she had been arranged for her life by her parents. Apart from not wanting to remarry, she had continued to support them financially even after all those things happened.
And what was the result? What did she end up with?
Xu Cuihua was lying in the room, intending to rest for a while, when she heard the door suddenly open.
She got out of bed and saw Xu Lao Er return looking guilty. Xu Cuihua's face darkened.
Why is Xu Lao Er back?
Xu Lao Er was supposed to run into those people on his way to play cards.
Xu Cuihua didn't know when those people would arrive, but she knew they would definitely come.
These people's car seems to have broken down, otherwise they wouldn't have come in a tractor; it's really too eye-catching.
If Xu Lao Er hadn't lingered at home for a while today, he would have run into them.
The thought that Xu Lao Er had managed to evade such a possibility made Xu Cuihua scoff impatiently.
She also had to act as a behind-the-scenes supporter, which was exhausting.
As soon as Xu Lao Er returned, he whispered Xu Cuihua's name, looking like he had a guilty conscience!
Xu Cuihua originally wanted to pretend she hadn't heard, so that Xu Lao Er would think she had gone out.
Normally, if Xu Lao Er can't call her, he'll stop calling.
However, Xu Cuihua did not expect that today Xu Lao Er would come directly to her door and open it.
When Xu Lao Er saw Xu Cuihua in the room, he called her but she didn't respond. He immediately glared at her angrily.
"Cuihua, why didn't you answer when I called you?"
