Old Qian, carrying an iron bucket, looked at her and curled his lips into a sinister smile: "It's rare that you still recognize me, are you particularly surprised that I'm not dead?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and splashed a bucket of cold water at He Su and Aunt Xu.
Caught off guard, He Su was splashed directly on the spot and instinctively screamed, "What are you doing!"
Aunt Xu tried to shield her from the rain, but she also got soaked to the bone.
Although it was the hot summer month of August, He Su was still startled by the splash and instinctively wiped the water from her eyes and face with her sleeve.
However, she soon revealed her true colors.
Qian Laoyuan was stunned. He hadn't expected the old woman in front of him to be so young and beautiful: "You...who exactly are you!"
Aunt Xu angrily blocked He Su's way: "It's none of your business who it is, but they're someone you can't afford to offend!"
Qian Laoyuan stared intently at He Su: "You..."
He Su coldly wrung out a handkerchief to wipe her face, interrupting him in a cold voice: "We made an agreement back then that you and your brothers should go as far away as possible, to the ends of the earth, and I would have someone help your family."
She paused, then looked at him with disdain: "And yet you come back, oblivious to your own mortality, and dare to extort money from me!"
Seriously, who gave them the guts!
Qian Laoyuan's face, bruised and swollen from the beating, darkened: "You promised to help us brothers support our families if anything happens to them!"
"And what happened? My mother went blind, was kicked out of the house by my brother and forced to live in a shack, and is now on the verge of death. Did your people help her?!"
"If I hadn't missed my mother so much that I secretly came back to see her, I wouldn't have been able to see her even once since she died!"
As Qian Laoyuan spoke, his face became increasingly contorted with rage.
It was this bitch who threatened them back then, saying that if they didn't want to die a horrible death and implicate their whole families, they had to do whatever she said!
Over the years, he has been hiding and running away, never having a peaceful day, just hoping that his mother wouldn't be implicated by him and could live a better life!
And what was the result?
He Su listened with increasing impatience. She raised an eyebrow sarcastically, "I send people to help your family with money and tickets every year. What does it have to do with me that your family has an unfilial son?"
She's not their mother, so she has to take care of all the messy things.
"Isn't this your own mess that you didn't handle well? Your mother didn't raise her son properly, and now I have to teach him? I've never seen you call me 'mother' or show me any filial piety!" He Su said coldly.
This idiot is doomed to die tonight. She's too lazy to deal with him anymore. The unresolved issues from back then will all be dealt with tonight!
Qian Laoyuan was speechless after being rebuked, gritting his teeth: "Of the four of us, Lao Tian died of illness on the plateau long ago, Zhuzi drowned while fishing in Hainan, and only Liu Er and I are left, changing our identities and using fake documents to stay in other places. We've all lost our lives. If we hadn't taken your job, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
What's wrong with her taking extra care of his family? Isn't it her duty?!
He pointed at her angrily and said, "I asked you for more money, and you wanted to kill me to cover it up! That's not what you said when you tricked the four of us into working for you!"
He Su sneered: "You four idiots, weren't you blinded by greed when you took my job? I told you to cripple or kill that kid, and not only did you fail, you were also blinded by lust and gang-raped the girl who came to find him! Is this the task I gave you?"
He Su got angry just thinking about it, let out a cold laugh, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness and ferocity.
"You gang-raped that girl, fine, but if you had just acted decisively and killed her cleanly, would I have had to clean up your messes like this? The problem has been left unresolved until now!"
She wasn't feeling sorry for Ye Qiu.
Helping Rong Zhaonan is tantamount to going against her, and that little bitch deserved to be gang-raped by the mountain people.
But these few good-for-nothings are more trouble than they're worth. They killed Ye Qiu, leaving no eyewitnesses. And what happened?
Qian Laoyuan's face flushed red and then turned pale, and he subconsciously glanced at a corner not far from the courtyard.
He gritted his teeth and continued, "It was Lao Tian who first had impure thoughts about that girl... We've never seen such a beautiful girl! Everyone panicked after it was all over!"
“We’re not here to do such heinous things. Zhu Zi said he would deal with the girl, but who knew he was scared himself and just choked her unconscious!”
He Su scoffed impatiently, "Then a heavy rain came and she woke up from it. Not only did she survive, but she also managed to find the kid I told you to deal with and even pulled him out of the pit!"
"You come up to me and recount all the stupid things you did in the past. Are you trying to curry favor with me? Or are you implying that you're all hopelessly stupid?"
She mocked coldly and irritably.
She didn't know why Qian Laoyuan was rambling on about things that happened in the past.
Rong Zhaonan was only sixteen years old back then. He wasn't the formidable Tai Sui he would become later; he was just a brave, rebellious, and arrogant teenager.
She simply had these four idiots lure Rong Zhaonan with prey in the mountains behind the reservoir, and then have the hunters pretend to have failed in their hunt—
If Rong Zhaonan is crippled or even killed, he will obviously be unable to join the army.
What a mess those idiots made!
If either Rong Zhaonan or Ye Qiu had died, she wouldn't be in this passive situation today!
Qian Laoyuan dared not speak, and looked tremblingly at a corner of the abandoned courtyard: "I...I've said everything I should say..."
He Su's expression suddenly changed, and she was startled. She abruptly looked towards that corner.
A figure slowly emerged from around the corner, his face terribly grim.
He Su relaxed instantly after seeing the other person's face clearly. She frowned and asked, "Xiang San, what are you doing here?"
It's good that it's not Rong Zhaonan.
She could handle several people like Xiang Ziying who weren't very bright.
but……
She frowned and looked at Xiang San: "How did you get to know Qian Laoyuan? You colluded with him to threaten me..."
"You ordered Ye Qiu's accident to happen..." Xiang San interrupted her expressionlessly.
A dark glint flashed in He Su's eyes: "Don't listen to anyone's instigation. I'm only doing this to get rid of Rong Zhaonan. As for Ye Qiu..."
"How do you plan to get rid of Rong Zhaonan?" Xiang San walked towards her.
He Su was taken aback. She had just figured out how to explain the flaws in her conversation with Qian Laoyuan, but she didn't expect that Xiang San was completely unconcerned about Ye Qiu's past.
She thought about it again and realized that it made sense.
Ye Qiu has been dead for so many years. The Xiang family's hatred for Rong Zhaonan and Ye Qiu is actually not that important anymore; at most, it was just a trigger.
The conflict between the Rong family and the Xiang family is mainly due to the death of Xiang Xiaosi, as well as the differences in their positions and paths over the years, and the various struggles between them.
Now that the Xiang family is about to fall, the Xiang brothers must hate Old Rong and Rong Zhaonan the most.
