Li Shuhua quickly put the money into her bag, stood up and was about to leave when a young man pushed the door open.
Li Shuhua rubbed her eyes: "You, are you Xiao An?"
Sui Huaian stared at the timid woman in front of him and said, "Yes, you are the mother of my eldest sister-in-law's cousin?"
Li Shuhua grabbed her bag to cover her face and was about to walk out. Sui Huaian asked calmly, "Auntie, don't leave so quickly. Can I ask you a few questions?"
Li Shuhua avoided Sui Huaian's gaze, looking awkward, neither standing nor sitting.
"Why are you so nervous? Why are you blackmailing my mom? Don't you know this is illegal? Didn't your daughter tell you that this is extortion and that you could go to jail?"
Li Shuhua grabbed Sui Huaian's hand and said, "No, it's not like that. There are some things... I can't explain to you. But... well, go back and ask your mother and you'll know."
Li Shuhua patted Sui Huaian's hand, grabbed her bag and trotted out of the restaurant.
Sui Huaian didn't expect to hear such explosive news while having a meal. This conversation really contained a lot of information.
It’s bad enough that my father and sister-in-law have secrets that are unknown to others, but my mother also has quite a few secrets.
Everyone in this family is extraordinary. It seems my eldest brother made the right choice to stay abroad.
Xu Liqing looked at the wall clock and it was almost ten o'clock.
"Dad, don't drink anymore. Just drink a little to satisfy your craving. Why do you have to get drunk?"
Xu Shengli narrowed his triangular eyes and glared at Xu Liqing with disdain:
"How could I... be drunk? I'm immune to alcohol now. I won't get drunk no matter how much I drink."
Xu Liqing dragged out the words in silence: "You're really not drunk, it's just that your tongue doesn't work well. Where is my mom? It's so late and she hasn't come back yet!"
Xu Shengli took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Why rush? I'll be back when I should be. If you're okay, go back first!"
As Xu Liqing just walked to the door, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked, and Xu Liqing opened the door.
"Mom, you're back. What were you doing so late?"
Xu Shengli ran over and snatched the bag from Li Shuhua's hand: "Give it to me! Why are you asking about this? Just go back to your own home."
Li Shuhua shook her head helplessly: "Xiaoqing, have you eaten?"
Xu Liqing stared at the bag in Xu Shengli's hand: "Mom, what's in your bag? Where did you go so late?"
Xu Shengli touched his bulging bag and walked into the bathroom: "Something doesn't feel right! I have to go check it out."
"Xiaoqing, it's too late today, so go back first! Mom won't keep you here. Come back another day and I'll make you something delicious."
Xu Liqing took out her cell phone and sent a message to Su Yongqiang, asking him to pick her up in half an hour.
He put down the phone and pulled Li Shuhua to sit down: "Mom, what are you hiding from me? You must tell me clearly today."
Before Li Shuhua could say anything, Xu Shengli kicked open the bathroom door and threw the bag at her. "Damn it! You're missing 100,000 yuan! Don't you want to die? Didn't we agree on 200,000 yuan?"
Li Shuhua dodged hurriedly. Xu Liqing picked up the bag on the ground and took a look. "Where did you get the 100,000 yuan? Mom, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?"
Xu Shengli waved the pile of money in his hand towards Xu Liqing:
"Your mother owed me $200,000. I only got back $100,000. I'll give you a few more days. If you don't get the rest of the money back, I'll sue you in court as well."
Li Shuhua could no longer bear it and ran over to grab the money from Xu Shengli's hand: "Go ahead and sue me, give me back the money. You can sue me wherever you want. You are such a greedy scoundrel. I have had enough of you."
Xu Liqing snatched the money from Xu Shengli's hand and said, "What's going on with this money? You must explain it to me today, otherwise neither of you can take it away."
Xu Shengli burst into a rage, "You little bastard, you and your mother are in cahoots. Today, I'll see who dares to touch this money. I've been a coward my whole life, so why can't I just ask them for some money?"
Xu Shengli picked up a bench and sat at the door: "No one can leave this door without paying me."
Li Shuhua sat down on the ground and burst into tears: "Xu Shengli, how much money have I asked you for over the years? When did I not say it was the last time? When could it be the last time? You are shameless, but I still have some! You gamble away all your money. No one's money comes from the wind. I will never listen to you again. Do whatever you want. I'm going all out."
Xu Shengli smiled sinisterly: "You still have some dignity! If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? You gave birth to several bastards for others, shouldn't I ask him for some mental damages? No matter where I sue, I will be right."
"Okay, go ahead and sue! Go ahead and sue quickly..." Li Shuhua got up from the ground and ran into the kitchen. When she came back with a kitchen knife in her hand, Xu Shengli stood up suddenly.
He stepped forward, snatched the money from Xu Lisha's hand, and ran out in a flash. His movements were quick and precise, and he did it in one go without a trace of delay or drunkenness.
The kitchen knife in Li Shuhua's hand landed on Xu Shengli's heel. If he had been a second slower, he might not have been able to escape.
Xu Liqing came to her senses after hearing Li Shuhua's crying.
She pulled Li Shuhua to sit down and said, "Mom, now that things have come to this, don't hide it from me. Tell me if you have anything to say, and we can find a solution together."
Li Shuhua nodded with tears streaming down her face, and choked up as she poured out the secret that had been buried for thirty years...
Thirty years ago, Li Shuhua worked as a nanny in Sui Maochang's family. When she was young, Li Shuhua was fair-skinned and beautiful. Most importantly, she was very honest.
