“Sue me? Hehehe, hahahaha…” Xu Xiuzhen laughed loudly, “You’d be more likely to turn yourself in.”
Su Mu slowly turned around, his face extremely pale.
"Go ahead!" Xu Xiuzhen waved her hand and said, "Go and report me! Once you're arrested, the child will still have to go back to the Liao family."
Seeing Su Mu's face grow increasingly grim, Xu Xiuzhen felt extremely pleased.
"Su Mu, if I were you, I would obediently hand over the child to me, then tuck my tail between my legs and run as far away as possible. Otherwise, I'd end up in jail at such a young age."
Xu Xiuzhen, getting more and more excited as she spoke, chuckled and said, "I've heard that the people inside hate human traffickers the most. What kind of treatment do you think you'd get if you went in?"
Even from a distance of three to five steps, Xu Xiuzhen could hear Su Mu grinding his teeth.
Surprisingly, the worse Su Mu's life was, the more comfortable she felt.
Xu Xiuzhen's comfort lasted only three seconds before she heard Su Mu say, "What are you so smug about? I'm inside now, do you think you can escape? Xu Xiuzhen, you'd better not push me too far!"
"If you really push me to that point, we'll fight to the death! Neither of us can escape, and neither can you!" With that, Su Mu tossed his hair and laughed, "I'm still young, my body can take it. I just don't know... how long your old bones can hold out."
However, Xu Xiuzhen's angry expression vanished, replaced by one of surprise as she asked, "What do you mean by 'fight to the death'? Su Mu, I don't know what you're talking about!"
You little bitch, you even tried to set a trap for her?
Don't you realize that you've lived a much longer life than she has? Trying to play tricks on her is just looking down on her!
Today she's going to show Su Mu what it means to be an experienced person.
After glancing at Su Mu's increasingly unpleasant expression, Xu Xiuzhen couldn't help but smile.
"You...you dare to deny it?" Su Mu was trembling with rage. "Back then, it was you who desperately wanted a grandson, so you made me sell Zhou Chunhua's child to human traffickers!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Xiuzhen exclaimed with exaggerated surprise, "This is a society governed by law now, everything requires evidence! You say I told you to do it, so that means I told you to do it? If you're so capable, produce the evidence!"
"you……"
"What do you mean, 'you'? If you can't produce evidence, I can sue you for spreading rumors!"
"I...you...Xu Xiuzhen, you, you will die a horrible death! You even dared to lay a hand on your own granddaughter, you, you will get your retribution!"
"Retribution?" Xu Xiuzhen chuckled. "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself! Su Mu, if I were you, I would obediently return the child."
"If I'm in a good mood, I might hire a lawyer for the sake of the child, so you won't end up spending your life in jail. After all, looking at your current impoverished state, you probably can't afford a lawyer, right?"
Hearing Su Mu grind his teeth, Xu Xiuzhen smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles.
She glanced at Su Mu, then turned and walked towards her own villa.
In the instant she turned her head, Xu Xiuzhen even gave Su Mu a unique and charming smile.
At this moment, Su Mu, who was standing still, almost ground his back teeth to powder.
Damn old woman, when did she grow a brain?!
I only have myself to blame for being too naive back then, for not thinking to have a backup plan. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.
But……
Su Mu took his phone out of his pocket and turned off the recording function.
Since they can't get evidence against Xu Xiuzhen right now, they have to find another way.
...
Xu Xiuzhen, who had just arrived at the gate of her villa, looked at the seal on the door and her mood plummeted once again.
The villa has been seized...
If I had known things would turn out this way, I should have made Nanxing put the villa in her name no matter what.
That's terrible. A villa worth tens of millions of dollars is gone just like that.
A cold wind swept in, and Xu Xiuzhen, shivering, became increasingly lucid.
The most important thing right now is to get the money back.
With that thought in mind, she turned and left.
...
Three days later, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Liaojiazhai village.
Under the big tree at the village entrance sat a group of aunts and uncles, all looking at the taxi.
Once they saw who got off the car, they immediately got up and ran over.
"Oh! Xiuzhen is back!"
"That's right, if you had called earlier, I would have had my good-for-nothing son drive to the station to pick you up."
"Come on, Xiu, come to my house for dinner."
"No way! Xiuzhen has finally come back, of course she should go to my place."
"No, no, no, let's go to my house!"
"..."
A group of people grabbed Xu Xiuzhen and started pulling and tugging at her.
Just as Xu Xiuzhen was about to speak, someone shouted, "Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"
The women and old women glanced at the newcomer and finally reluctantly let go.
"Sister-in-law, ignore them. Let's go home."
The speaker was none other than her sister-in-law—her seventh brother's wife, Tian Guihua.
Before she could even speak, Tian Guihua led her out of the encirclement and headed towards the old house.
As soon as he entered, Liao Zhixin put down his pipe and came to greet him.
"It really is you, sister-in-law! I heard the village kids say you were back, but I didn't believe it! Why didn't you call beforehand so I could have had your nephew pick you up at the station?"
Xu Xiuzhen glanced at the old house, which had been newly built less than three months ago, and frowned deeply.
When the old house was being rebuilt, Liao Zhixin never said he would move there.
Looking around... it seems they've been living here for more than just a day or two.
Once inside, she sat down in a chair and said, "Seventh Brother, why are you moving to the old house instead of your perfectly good home?"
Liao Zhixin licked his lips awkwardly.
Tian Guihua interrupted, saying, "Um... Sister-in-law, we're just staying here temporarily. You don't know, my house was flooded and collapsed during the heavy rains a while ago."
As Tian Guihua spoke, she brewed her a cup of tea.
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, we really don't have the money to rebuild our house, so we can only move to the old house for now. But don't worry, once we have the money, we will rebuild our house and then we will move back."
As Tian Guihua spoke, she wiped the corner of her eye, looking quite pitiful.
But Xu Xiuzhen had no intention of speaking. They were all thousand-year-old foxes and ten-thousand-year-old spirits, why were they putting on a show like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?
What does it mean when Tian Guihua starts complaining about being poor as soon as she opens her mouth?
It was obvious they wanted her to ask for money. But right now, she needed the money more than they did! She had no money left to lend them!
Perhaps seeing that she didn't respond, Tian Guihua immediately turned to Liao Zhixin and yelled, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and kill a chicken! Do you want your sister-in-law to go hungry?"
Xu Xiuzhen didn't say anything more, and turned to look outside the door.
She was waiting, waiting for those things that were supposed to come to arrive, so that she could take care of everything at once.
Sure enough, within half an hour, a lot of people came to the door.
