Li Honggang subconsciously tried to smooth things over between her biological mother and her biological elder sister: "It's almost time for lunch, and Mom must have gone back to the restaurant to help out."

Li Hongyan gritted her teeth and went out with a sullen face.

Yang Xiaohui was curious: "Old Four, what does the eldest sister want to do with our mother?"

Li Hong just shook her head: "I just asked her, but she didn't say anything. She also told me to stop worrying and just get well myself."

Yang Xiaohui rolled her eyes and thought to herself, it would be strange if her elder sister-in-law was okay. When she heard her tone, she knew that she was hiding something from others and was going to lie to her own mother.

She had done that before.

Didn't she say that among the seven children born to her mother-in-law, except the eldest child Li Hongyan, none of the other six had ever cared about the old couple's money. When they were farming, they worked hard all year round, but none of them ever asked how much money they earned.

They thought that the old couple were saving it for themselves, thinking that even if they didn't need it, they would have money to spend when they were too old to work and had a headache or a fever.

I never thought that as soon as I earned the money, my sister-in-law Li Hongyan would find all kinds of excuses to borrow it away.

"Your eldest sister...isn't she coming to borrow money from our mom again?" Yang Xiaohui couldn't help but say.

A person's nature will not change easily. Yang Xiaohui has always been a bit strong in front of the man Li Honggang. Now that her mother-in-law is not around, her true nature immediately shows.

Li Hong just got used to it and said casually: "Who knows."

That being said, he then remembered that his eldest nephew Zhao Pengfei was already 24 years old and had not yet married.

Big sister, can you not be anxious?

Yang Xiaohui was a little worried that her eldest sister-in-law would cheat her mother-in-law of her money, but when she thought carefully about what had happened in the past few years, it seemed that her eldest sister-in-law Li Hongyan never got any money from her mother-in-law again.

By the way, her son Zhao Pengfei has not yet returned the three thousand yuan that he swindled from old lady Chen Xiaoying some time ago.

"... Lao Si, do you think we can get these three thousand yuan back?" she couldn't help but ask.

Li Hong just glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?"

Yang Xiaohui curled her lips and said, "I think it's impossible. Mom is so powerful now. My eldest sister borrowed most of her life savings from my parents, and she never paid back a penny. She also got involved in that loan sharking business."

If the fourth child didn't have three brothers and sisters-in-law to support her, she would have been anxious.

Yang Xiaohui guessed right about this. Three thousand yuan. Li Hongyan would rather continue to sever ties with her biological mother than to give out this money.

In Li Hongyan's eyes, severing ties was just empty talk, unless her mother had never given birth to her.

Her mother doesn't recognize her, but her biological father does, and her other six brothers and sisters definitely recognize her as well.

She thought that when her biological mother Chen Xiaoying and her six younger brothers and sisters were all rich, she could borrow a few thousand yuan from each of them, and the total would be tens of thousands.

This is what Li Hongyan thought as she stood at the door of her biological mother Chen Xiaoying's shop, which looked more upscale and spacious.

It has to be said that Li Hongyan is full of tricks, more cunning than a hornet's nest. No matter how cautious her mother Chen Xiaoying is, she can't stop her from plotting.

"Mom, my eldest sister is here."

Chen Xiaoying's third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan, had just brought a bowl of clay pot noodles to a guest at the table at the door when she saw her elder sister-in-law Li Hongyan standing at the door.

The way she looked at him made it seem as if the store belonged to her and she was here to inspect it, so she hurried back to find her mother-in-law.

"Don't bother with her." Chen Xiaoying was looking at the date and asked Zhao Xueyan, "When is the college entrance examination?"

Ever since her granddaughter Li Yutong entered high school, her diligent attitude made her feel that every day was like the college entrance examination the next day, and she had an invisible sense of urgency.

Chen Xiaoying was very happy that the Li family, which had been poor and illiterate for three generations, had given birth to such a studious granddaughter.

"I don't know." The third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan, had never noticed it.

Chen Xiaoying was just asking casually. She planned to ask her granddaughter how her studies were going and what she wanted to eat when she came home in the evening. She would then cook it for her so that she could replenish her body.

"Mom." Li Hongyan saw that her mother didn't come out. It was obvious that her third brother's wife, Zhao Xueyan, had seen it. She even told her mother, but her mother just sat there without moving.

Chen Xiaoying heard the familiar voice and looked up: "What are you doing here?"

Li Hongyan glanced at her third brother's wife, Zhao Xueyan, and said, "Mom, I'll go out and talk to you."

Seeing that her elder sister-in-law seemed to be on guard against her, Zhao Xueyan just smiled. However, her deep fear of her elder sister-in-law still prevailed, so she hid away.

Chen Xiaoying looked at her eldest daughter Li Hongyan, and she blinked as if something happened.

She stood up, wanting to see what trouble her eldest daughter was going to cause next.

Li Hongyan waited anxiously for half a day before finally getting this opportunity. She immediately told him that she wanted to release Xu Dadong as well.

Chen Xiaoying looked at her and thought she saw someone with a mental problem: "Yang Jiangang's case was about beating someone up. Lao Si's injuries don't constitute a criminal offense, so he will be released sooner or later. That's why I pretended to be a good person and released Yang Jiangang. What was Xu Dadong's case? Have you figured it out?"

Li Hongyan didn't understand the law: "What's the matter? They are all small matters."

Her mother Chen Xiaoying glared at her and said, "They are not small matters, but Xu Dadong's matter is more serious. His matter was ordered by the Provincial Water Conservancy Bureau. The car is state property. Xu Dadong stole state property. Can the state not punish his mother? What can I do about this matter?"

"Besides, what does this have to do with me? I'm the one who was defrauded of my money. I still don't have the three thousand yuan. What, now that you have money, you want to pay it back to me?"

Want money??!

Her eldest daughter Li Hongyan's face changed immediately: "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't have any money. You clearly know that the three thousand yuan was swindled away by Xu Dadong."

"So what's the meaning of you telling me so much?" Her mother Chen Xiaoying glared at her unhappily.

Li Hongyan sighed and said anxiously, "Didn't I just tell you, what if Xu Dadong comes out and wants to take revenge on Pengfei or Hongli? What should we do?"

"What if he pulls out a knife? Is it worth it to risk someone's life for this?"

She deliberately made the matter sound serious.

But her mother Chen Xiaoying wanted to beat her up after hearing this: "Just shut up. I don't care what you want to do to me. I won't pay a penny."

Li Hongyan was stunned. Seeing her mother turn around and walk away without caring about them at all, she suddenly got angry: "Mom, you really don't care about Hongli's life or death. She has a relationship and will probably be released in a month or two. Hongli will definitely still be in confinement by then. What if he beats Hongli and makes her sick?"

It sounds like Chen Xiaoying is a selfish, black-hearted stepmother who doesn't care about her daughters' lives.

Chen Xiaoying turned around and stared at her expressionlessly: "That's Hongli's own business. She asked for it!"

"If Xu Dadong wants to beat her, is her husband Xu Xiaodong dead? Is her mother-in-law dead? Let her figure it out!"
