The couple returned home in the dark, but they didn't expect that the light in their son's room was still on.
The couple looked at each other, and Li Mei somehow thought of what Wen Xia Nuan said. She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and finally looked in her husband's direction: "I'll go in and take a look."
Huo Zhiguo seemed to know what Li Mei wanted to see. He reached out and held her hand. He glanced at Li Mei and thought for a moment before saying, "Wait a minute. I'll go with you."
Li Mei looked over in surprise and pointed at the ground. Huo Zhiguo also looked over and saw that there was already some yellow soil at the door of his son's house.
"This is?"
Huo Zhiguo had already squatted down, reached out to pick up the yellow soil and observed it for a while. Without waiting for Li Mei to enter the room, Huo Zhiguo kicked open the closed door angrily.
The wooden door made a loud noise, and Huo Chen hurriedly packed his things, looking towards the door with panic in his eyes.
"Huo Chen, what are you hiding?"
Huo Zhiguo did see what he was hiding, and he went forward to pull it out, but Huo Chen held him down tightly: "Dad, no, nothing."
Huo Chen's sneaky behavior made Huo Zhiguo feel uneasy, and he could also tell that the dirt at the door was where he hid his things.
The soil over there was dark, and thinking of Wen Xia Nuan's words, he moved his hands even harder: "While I can talk to you properly now, quickly let go of your hand!"
Huo Chen gritted his teeth and refused to give in. Huo Zhiguo's anger rose in his heart. He looked around and picked up a wooden stool to smash it over.
Li Mei saw this and angrily shouted, "Huo Chen, you're crazy!"
He paused as he was about to hit her, his eyes fell on his wife, and he put down the stool in his hand angrily.
Li Mei finally let out a breath, and Huo Chen ran over in fear and hid behind her.
"Mom, my dad is crazy!"
Huo Chen still hadn't recovered from the shock. Looking at his father, he said in panic, "He, he's going to kill me!"
Li Mei glanced at him coldly: "You still want to talk? If it weren't for all the trouble you caused, how could your father do this to you?"
Li Mei reached out and pulled her son out, her eyes fixed on him: "Tell me honestly, did you dig out those things?"
Huo Chen hesitated and remained silent. Li Mei's eyes fell on him and she urged him anxiously, "What are you hesitating for? I'm asking you a question, why don't you just answer it quickly?"
"Mom, I need these things now, so what?"
Huo Chen looked directly at Li Mei, the annoyance in his eyes was very direct: "You know how much money I need for my wedding!"
When Huo Zhiguo heard that his son had admitted it, he glared at him angrily: "Look, look at what he said!"
Huo Zhiguo stood up in a rage, his eyes fixed on Huo Chen: "Do you know what those things of yours are? If they are discovered, you will be criticized!"
Huo Chen didn't care at all: "Then I have to find a wife, right? If you can't solve it, I can only find a way myself!"
Huo Zhiguo ignored what his son said and walked over to lift the quilt. When he saw the gold ingot in the cup, he pointed at Huo Chen with trembling hands and asked, "Where's the rest?"
Huo Chen was confused: "Where is there anything left? I only took this little bit!"
The two deposit gold ingots looked like they were about ten taels each. Huo Zhiguo knew that they were left by his grandfather. As the biggest local tycoon at that time, his family could earn two ten-tael gold ingots a day.
Later he was persecuted and all his belongings were confiscated, even these were the ones he had hidden with great difficulty!
Now, this golden thing looked like a death warrant to him. Huo Zhiguo quickly covered himself with the quilt and pointed a trembling finger at Huo Chen: "You rebellious son, I told you not to dig, don't dig, you are afraid that we will not live in peace!"
Li Mei's expression was also not good. Looking at what Huo Chen had openly dug out and thinking of Wen Xia Nuan's words, she pointed at Huo Chen in annoyance: "You are so confused!"
"Mom! We've already dug it out. No matter how much you say, it won't help!"
Huo Chen said seriously: "It would be better to exchange all these things for what I need!"
Li Mei was silent for a moment, thinking about the feasibility. Huo Chen pulled her hand and shook it: "Mom, can you help me persuade Dad?"
He stared at Li Mei seriously. Li Mei glanced at Huo Chen and then at her man. Finally, she sighed, "You, I really don't know how to say hello to you!"
Huo Chen laughed and looked at Li Mei, knowing that she agreed.
Li Mei also felt helpless. She more or less understood Huo Zhiguo's thoughts. "Things have come to this. Zhiguo, you have to arrange your son's marriage, right? And there's also the alimony from your mother."
She calculated and calculated, but there was never enough money.
But if you hold these two gold ingots, it’s not necessarily the same. You will feel relieved instantly.
Huo Zhiguo's eyes fell on Li Mei and he sneered, "You are simply dreaming! What time is it now? Do you have the ability to spend two such large gold ingots?"
Li Mei's gentle and kind appearance was met with harsh words from Huo Zhiguo. Her face darkened and her eyes fell on him: "Huo Zhiguo, I gave you face, didn't I?"
Li Mei glared at him, and Huo Zhiguo saw it, but this time he was very firm.
"Huo Zhiguo, you can't do this or that, where did you get the money?"
Li Mei cursed, "And your mother's alimony! We have to get it now, right? What do you want me to do with this money?"
Huo Zhiguo hung his head, looking troubled: "Anyway, this won't work!"
Huo Chen just felt irritated, and Huo Zhiguo's eyes indeed fell on him: "Huo Chen, are you sure you didn't dig up those other things?"
"Were those things still there when you went to dig?"
Huo Chen nodded, and Huo Zhiguo's face turned pale: "Did you hear that? This thing was still there when he was digging! That means someone had spotted him while he was digging. Those things..."
He was so scared that he sat down on the ground. If he was reported by someone with ulterior motives, he would be in big trouble with so many things!
Li Mei also thought of this possibility. Seeing her man's frightened expression, she comforted him, "Come on, don't reveal your true identity yet. Let's see if anyone can make a fuss about this matter first!"
Huo Zhiguo was restless, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
