"A-Qian, your father is back."
Her father? β0β
Su Qian looked at Aunt Zhang in confusion and asked, "He...is back?"
The plot doesn't make sense. Shouldn't her father only return on the second day of the apocalypse?
Aunt Zhang looked around cautiously and said, "The villagers saw that your family has no money to pay back the money, so they wanted to call your father back..." to pay back the money.
"Mm." Su Qian nodded. Paying back debts is a matter of course.
Seeing Su Qian's obedient appearance, Aunt Zhang said again, "Your father might not leave again this time."
"???"
βThe villagers are also struggling financially. In order to get your father to pay back the money, they filed a lawsuit against the nearby mountain stronghold.β
At this point, Aunt Zhang blushed a little, "The chieftain said your father was a bandit, so we had to use bandit methods."
What heinous thing did her father do?
"Then?"
"Your father has been dismissed from his post."
"So it was you guys who were behind this." A man's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from the doorway.
He and Shangguan had always had a good relationship. If those bandits hadn't held knives to Shangguan's neck, how could he have been dismissed from office?
Su Qian glanced at the newcomer indifferently and said nothing.
Her father is no good.
Aunt Zhang was speaking happily when she was suddenly interrupted. Anger rose in her heart, and she turned around, glaring at the person who came in, and asked, "What are you doing standing at my door?"
Su Liye was also amused by her shameless words and actions. He pointed at Aunt Zhang with trembling hands and said, "Your home?" His words were full of sarcasm.
Do you really think he never asked for directions?
Aunt Zhang gave him a cold look and said, "I suppose you haven't been back for more than ten years, so you probably don't know that during the famine a few years ago, your wife and daughter were so hungry that they sold everything they could."
Su Liye hadn't expected this either. He paused for a moment, frowned, glanced at Su Qian, and asked, "Then why is she here?"
"Because I have no parents, I have to rely on my neighbors to support me."
Su Qian's words only provoked Su Liye's suppressed temper, and he roared, "Your father is still alive!"
"Oh," Su Qian replied indifferently.
Seeing Su Qian like this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sneer, "Qian has never seen her father in all her life. You think he's alive just because you say so?"
Seemingly remembering something, Aunt Zhang said impatiently, "You'd better hurry up and take out A-Qian's dowry, pay back the money to the villagers, and then get out of here."
"You..." Having his past, which he had never wanted to face, exposed to his face, Su Liye grabbed the door latch and swung it at Su Qian.
Hearing the sound of the wind, Su Qian moved her feet lightly and avoided it.
She looked coldly at the man in front of her, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and said with a smile, "Picking the weak?"
As she spoke, Su Qian picked up the door latch and slapped Su Liye's arm. Su Liye didn't react in time and was hit squarely, feeling a burning pain in his arm.
"You wicked girl!"
Su Qian ignored him and looked at Aunt Zhang, asking, "Auntie, how much of my mother's dowry did he take?"
Aunt Zhang wasn't really sure either, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Qian seemed to understand. She turned to Su Liye and asked, "Where is your luggage?"
"What do you want to do?" Su Liye glared at her fiercely, wanting to curse, but he was afraid that Su Qian would slam the door bolt down again.
Su Qian ignored him and looked at Aunt Zhang, saying, "Auntie, I'll take the initiative to stop the car and luggage and pay back the money first."
"You dare!"
Su Qian obediently said, "I can't let Dad be a bastard who spends his wife's dowry but won't even pay for her funeral."
Su Liye: "..." Did he not realize that she was cursing him?
