Chapter 81 The Son-in-Law (12)
Gu Xinzhou finally went to work.
In the vast Lin family home, only Lin Xuerou and her younger brother Lin Wei remained. Looking at the empty villa, Lin Xuerou was overcome with grief, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Sis, I'm hungry."
There were many people around, and Lin Wei was too scared to speak. Now that everyone is gone, he feels hungry.
"Go cook for yourself if you're hungry!"
Lin Xuerou rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and slumped down on the sofa.
Her brows furrowed deeply, and she was unable to calm her mind.
The plan was clearly for him to disappear, leaving Sheng Changqing to handle all the trouble. How did it turn into him disappearing and leaving Sheng Changqing to deal with all the trouble himself?
She's not good at handling these things!
Let's wait for Father to wake up and make the decision.
Thinking this way, she felt a little more at ease and picked up her phone to call Changqing again.
It's turned off!
"Scumbag!"
She cursed angrily and threw her phone on the coffee table.
Changqing, of course, wouldn't pay any attention. In the original story, the Lin family disappeared, leaving the original owner to clean up the mess and discipline that ingrate Lin Wei. Life was so difficult for him. Now, he was just passing on these things that originally belonged to the Lin family to them.
Don't run away!
I'll run first!
Running away is fun, but watching others fail to escape while you're running away is even more fun.
This is the current state of Changqing.
Although the original owner only had 20,000 yuan in his card, it was more than enough to rent a house. Changqing had no pressure to find a job and simply rented a house and moved in.
"Well, let's watch the show first."
He was really looking forward to seeing Li's father wake up in his own villa. No, it would soon become someone else's villa. The creditors weren't just taking things from the house; some were already taking legal action.
...
Mr. Li felt his mouth and throat were dry.
After several days, he finally woke up and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was a small square box wrapped in red cloth on the table.
The room was empty, and the surroundings were completely unfamiliar.
Hmm, it seems that Xue Rou has arranged a new place to stay.
He understood.
only---
It's a bit rudimentary.
But it doesn't matter, I can just add more as I have the money.
He tried to sit up, but his body was still a little stiff.
It doesn't matter.
Take a rest and recover slowly.
Oh, right.
Where is the old woman?
Could it be that she woke up earlier and has already recovered?
His expression turned somewhat grim.
She must have gone to get a beauty treatment again.
What time is it now? Although the debt has been handed over to Sheng Changqing to handle, we don't have much money left. We can't afford to waste it like before!
That old hag needs to be taught a lesson.
He decided that once he had fully recovered, he would hold a family meeting to emphasize the family tradition of diligence and thrift.
Also, I need to find a way to arrange things for my son, Lin Wei...
Lin's father's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but start making plans.
He is satisfied with the current situation.
Only an experienced veteran like myself could make the right arrangements.
Just then, he heard voices outside.
"Sis, I don't want to eat takeout anymore." It was her son Lin Wei's voice.
"If you don't want to eat, go cook for yourself! I can't cook!"
Lin Xuerou's daughter's reply was clearly impatient.
Lin's father was startled.
What's Serena Williams doing here? Serena Williams wasn't part of his plan, at least not initially, since he's too young and there's no way he could guarantee he wouldn't let something slip.
Had Xue Rou taken her younger brother over while she was unconscious for a long time?
It's a good thing for the whole family to be reunited!
But something felt off to him.
Outside, the sounds of conversation could still be heard. It seemed that the son was complaining about how bad the takeout he ate every day was, but the daughter couldn't cook and was too lazy to cook.
Mr. Lin smiled helplessly.
No one in my family knows how to cook. We used to hire a chef, but now Sheng Changqing has been cooking for us. Not to mention my daughter, even my wife can't cook.
Now the family has fallen on hard times.
Looks like this old man still needs to learn how to cook.
He sighed, feeling the discomfort subside slightly, and slowly got up.
Squeak.
The door opened.
Lin's father appeared by the stairs.
The next moment, a blood-curdling scream came from the living room downstairs.
"Aaaaaah! It's come back to life!"
Lin Wei's face contorted with fear, and he quickly hid behind his sister.
"Dad, you're awake?"
Lin Xuerou was naturally not afraid. She looked a little haggard, but her face showed joy. Now that the person in charge had woken up, her pressure was much less.
Lin's father was still somewhat bewildered.
Looking down from the second floor, this is clearly the villa where the Lin family used to live. How is this possible? Didn't they fake their death and escape to live in anonymity? How come they're still here?
Moreover, the villa is much emptier now, and the furnishings are simpler.
"What, what's going on?"
He had a bad feeling and asked in a trembling voice.
Half an hour later.
Lin's father sat opposite him on the sofa, covering his face with his hands and shrugging his shoulders.
"Impossible! Impossible! I had everything planned out perfectly!"
Suddenly, he looked up, a look of anticipation on his face.
"Xue Rou, you're joking with Dad, right? You guys aren't funny at all, we..."
Lin Xuerou's eyes were also red.
"Dad, Mom's ashes are on your bedside table. And this empty house, doesn't that prove your plan failed?"
"You've misjudged Sheng Changqing. He's not as honest and obedient as you think."
When Lin's father woke up, Lin Xuerou felt much less guilty about her mother's death; at least she could shift the blame onto someone else.
Lin's father shook his head repeatedly.
"Impossible! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Suddenly, he stood up and rushed towards the room on the second floor. A moment later, heart-wrenching cries came from the room.
In the living room.
Lin Wei had not yet fully accepted the fact that his father was alive again, and he was startled when he heard the crying.
Lin Xuerou remained silent.
After a long while, Lin's father rushed out with red eyes.
"Where is Sheng Changqing?! Where is he?! He's the one who killed your mother, I won't let him get away with this!"
"Call the police! Let's call the police! Let him go to jail!"
He roared at the top of his lungs, as if trying to shout out all the resentment and bitterness in his heart.
Lin Xuerou glanced at her father but didn't move.
She had said similar things before, but it was useless. Calling the police was even less likely; it would only cause trouble for her own family, and would do no harm to Sheng Changqing.
She watched Lin's father vent his anger for a long time, and only after he calmed down did she offer him a cigarette.
“Dad, what we need to consider now is how to deal with the debt problem. As far as I know, we have several cases that are about to enter the trial process, and we definitely can't save this house. Do you think we still need the money we have…?”
When the topic of money came up, Lin's father calmed down.
Yes, the most important thing right now isn't Sheng Changqing, but how to deal with the pile of troubles in our own family.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
He stretched out his hand, his brows furrowed deeply.
It was at this moment that Changqing walked into the Lin family home. He was dressed casually, and his appearance at the door immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.
"Sheng Changqing, you still dare to come back?"
Lin's father immediately stood up.
