Chapter 85 "The Ugly Daughter" (15)
Shisui opened the letter and read it despite her grandmother's objections.
Inside was a thin, neatly folded piece of letter paper.
Afraid that the old lady would really rush over and tear up the letter if she got angry, Shisui ran back to her room at the speed of light with the envelope.
The door lock of the room was broken, so Shisui just blocked the door with her body, letting the old lady knock and shout outside.
"Dear daughter,
I've just settled down in prison, and I've been able to think a lot and repent a lot. I'm doing fine, and I hope you are too.
Although Mommy really wants to see you, I've asked the staff and they say minors need to be accompanied by a guardian when they visit... so I don't count on it. Three years will pass quickly. Study hard, live well, and then we'll be reunited as a family."
...It turns out that this letter was sent by Xia Xinyuan's mother from prison!
In addition to the usual expression of a mother's longing for her daughter, Xia Xinyuan's mother also specifically mentioned "money".
"Your father sold all the valuables in the house to pay off his gambling debts. But in that avocado-colored Hermès wallet of mine, I still have some IOUs from when I lent money to people. I may not be able to recover all of them... but if you really need it, you can still give it a try."
Judging from the date on the letter, it had been mailed for over a month. In other words, it had been secretly hidden by Xia Xinyuan's grandmother for over a month.
If it hadn't been accidentally uncovered this time, I really don't know when it would have seen the light of day.
...Shisui took a deep breath, took two steps away, opened the door, and positioned herself to catch her grandmother who rushed in.
Grandma wiped her tears and made a fuss, "That woman actually had the nerve to write to you! I should have burned this letter long ago! She killed my son and messed up our family. She's a disaster!"
"He was the one who killed your son! His family was destroyed because of him! If he hadn't gambled, none of this would have happened!"
"How can you say that about your own father?! That's why they say daughters are always clingy! It's all your mother's fault! She refused to have a second child back then. It would have been so great if she could have given you a brother. If she had a son, we wouldn't be in this situation now, without anyone to take care of me in my old age!"
Shi Sui was speechless.
At my age, I can’t reason with others, and I can’t take action.
Moral kidnapping is nothing, family kidnapping is the most terrifying!
When harvesting, only cold treatment is available.
She replied calmly, "Whether my elbows turn outward or inward, you don't need to worry about it. I won't give you a penny less in pension money. Go and rest early. A good rest will give you the energy to continue your vegetarian and Buddhist practice tomorrow."
...After forcing her grandmother back to her room, Shi Sui searched through all the boxes and drawers as Xia Xinyuan's mother had said in the letter, and finally found the avocado-colored Hermès wallet hidden in a secret pocket of a coat.
Good job!
There were actually 8 or 9 IOUs in it, ranging from 50,000 to 500,000, with amounts of all sizes!
It just so happened that Shi Sui had almost spent all her money, and she was waiting for the 100,000 yuan bonus as the outstanding student representative of the year to help her out!
If I can really recover the debt, I won’t have to worry about tennis coaching fees, equipment fees, and travel expenses to other places for competitions!
Shisui looked through the pages carefully and actually saw a familiar name in them.
Nanny Aunt Huang...
She is the mother of the girl who was bribed by Suman!
The IOU stated that two years ago, the nanny, Aunt Huang, borrowed 80,000 yuan to renovate an old house in the countryside, and it was agreed that the money would be repaid within May of this year - which is exactly now.
Fate, it's indescribable~
…
In order to continue my career as a professional tennis player, the most urgent thing now is to make money! Make money! Make money!
Shisui was determined to collect four of the overdue accounts.
It is only natural to pay back debts.
Shi Sui contacted each of them one by one. Some of them immediately transferred the money back without saying a word, some bullied Shi Sui for being a minor, and some thought that Xia Xinyuan's mother was serving a prison sentence and therefore did not have to pay back the money.
In order to deal with those who still tried to cheat, Shi Sui used her mouth cannon to attack crazily. After two or three days of fierce attack, three overdue accounts totaling 315,000 were successfully recovered.
The last one left is the former nanny, Aunt Huang...
According to Xia Xinyuan's memory, Aunt Huang was quite diligent and had never made any major mistakes. However, she also had some of the common flaws of ordinary people, such as selfishness and greed.
Will she pay back the money as promised...Anyway, let's talk about it first.
...Without any prior contact, she went directly to the old community where Aunt Huang lived.
It was an old commercial building without an elevator, and Shisui climbed 9 floors in one breath... She could hear a fierce quarrel inside through the door.
Aunt Huang: "What are you doing?! Why would you cut your eyelids twice for no reason?"
Aunt Huang's daughter: "What do you know? Looks are everything these days! I'll become prettier so I can find a rich man in the future!"
Shisui didn't want to interrupt the conversation between mother and daughter, but she couldn't just wait outside, so she knocked on the door.
"Who is it? A courier?" Aunt Huang asked in a loud voice as she opened the door.
...As soon as the door opened, the moment they saw Shihui, the two pairs of eyes inside were instantly filled with surprise.
Aunt Huang's daughter reacted and started to attack: "What are you still doing here?! You even caused my mom to lose her job!"
Because of the confrontation with Su Man during the speech competition, Su Man's family quickly fired Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang looked unhappy, but her tone was still gentle.
"Ms. Xia, I heard what my daughter said about going to your school. She was wrong, and I apologize to you on her behalf. But my daughter couldn't refuse even if she wanted to, considering her status as the eldest daughter of the Su family. Besides, I've lost my job, so can we call it even?"
"I'm not here to look for your daughter today, but to ask for this... Aunt Huang, you haven't forgotten the money you owe our family, right?"
Shisui didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the IOU from her bag.
When Aunt Huang saw the IOU, all her confidence disappeared.
"Ah... this..." She looked around and said something else, "How much was it? I completely forgot..."
"120,000. It was due at the end of last month. I've given you a month's grace."
Seeing no escape, Aunt Huang could only rub her hands and ask tentatively, "Okay, okay... 120,000, right... But I don't have a job right now... Can I transfer you 80,000 first? I'll pay you the rest slowly every month?"
Shi Sui looked at Aunt Huang's house, which was decorated in the 1990s and had various old electrical appliances, and didn't want to push her too much, so she decided to just pay back 80,000 yuan first.
But when Shi Sui was about to say, "Okay, but when you pay off the remaining 40,000 yuan, you have to write another IOU," Aunt Huang's daughter refused.
She said sarcastically, "You are so shameless! Going to an aristocratic school means you have a lot of money, right? Aren't you ashamed to ask a poor person for money?!"
Huh? I'm poor, so I'm right?
Tokiho changes her mind.
She smiled and said to Aunt Huang's daughter, "Didn't you take 20,000 yuan from Shanshan? I believe Suman gave you more than 20,000 yuan, right? Just give it all out, and you can make up 120,000 yuan."
