"From now on, even if you beg me, I won't come back."
Ma Hongxiu recalled that when Su Wanping called her in the past, she would always ask cautiously, "Hongxiu, will you come back for the Chinese New Year this year? Mom will make you your favorite dumplings with green onion and meat filling."
She would always reject her coldly and ruthlessly. She had a hard time struggling in the United States. She didn't have enough time to raise three children. How could she have the time to go back to poor China and eat dumplings stuffed with scallions and meat?
Ma Hongxiu turned and left.
Chen Xiaoying suddenly grabbed Zhu Dahong who was about to leave and said, "Put down the things from Su Wanping's house."
She also looked at Wang Jinsuo: "And the watch on your hand, that's from my cousin's house."
Wang Jinsuo and Zhu Dahong's faces suddenly turned extremely ugly. When they put them on happily at that time, they already felt that they were theirs.
Ma Guoxi also hurriedly said to the two police officers: "At least let us go back and see what we lost and ask them for it."
"Public Security Comrades, thank you for your help." Su Wanping also pleaded.
The police sympathized with the lonely old lady. Fortunately, the old lady had these people to help her: "You keep an eye on her, don't let her run away. I'll follow this old lady for a while."
When Su Wanping arrived at her home, she found herself in a mess. She could no longer hold back and sobbed sadly: "I, what have I done wrong? How could she do this to me?"
"Cousin, don't cry. Look to see if anything is missing. This cloth bag contains your dowry jewelry." Chen Xiaoying sighed, persuaded her, and showed her the things in the cloth bag.
Su Wanping wiped away her tears, and when she took it over to look at it, she couldn't help but said angrily, "How cruel! All my things are in there, and they want to take them all away from me."
"These drawers and cabinets were all knocked open. They are thieves. Public security comrades, you must arrest them." Ma Guoxi looked at the broken locks in the house and felt very sad. These furniture were all good things, but they were ruthlessly destroyed by them, and there were many scratches on them.
"If the property is returned, there will be no way to arrest the person and take him to the police station," said the police.
There was no other way, Su Wanping could only check with Chen Xiaoying and Ma Guoxi to see if there was anything missing in the house.
When they got downstairs, they took two silver bracelets from Zhu Dahong's hands, a silver ring from her pocket, some banknotes, and a watch from Wang Jinsuo. After making sure they had searched everything, they let them leave.
The two were so angry that they walked out of the community gate.
Wang Jinsuo, who felt extremely humiliated, pointed at Ma Hongxiu and started to curse: "You are a coward, a waste, you can't even coax a dead old woman. Now you see, all the money you earned is gone, you useless thing."
"If I had known I would have given you to someone else, you are so useless that I would have thrown you into the basin and drowned you instead of letting someone else raise you."
Ma Hongxiu was stunned and her eyes became gloomy: "What did you say?"
Zhu Dahong quickly pulled Wang Jinsuo and said, "Don't yell at the child." She felt it was a little too early to turn against him.
Wang Jinsuo pushed her away, still pointing at Ma Hongxiu's nose: "You money-loser, I'm your father, scolding you is the least of my worries, I'll beat you up, you're useless, you can't even get your money back, and you've made me lose face because of you."
After saying that, he bent down, grabbed his cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and hit Ma Hongxiu on the head.
Ma Hongxiu was whipped twice and staggered for several times in pain before she realized that Wang Jinsuo had actually hit her.
She was furious and pushed Wang Jinsuo hard, causing him to fall flat on his face. "Who are you scolding, you old bastard? How dare you hit me? Be careful or I'll sue you!"
She was so aggressive that she shocked Wang Jinsuo, who fell to the ground dizzy and dazed: "How dare you fight back?"
It would be fine if the two sons would fight back if they were beaten, but he has beaten the eldest daughter since she was a child, and now she has to kneel down even if he asks her to. Those stupid girls are nothing without their mother's family, and yet they dared to beat me.
"Hongxiu, are you crazy? He is your father." Zhu Dahong was so scared that she burst into tears: "If you beat your father to death, how can I live?"
Although Zhu Dahong looks fierce, she is actually very old-fashioned. Men are her heaven, her earth, and the backbone of her life's struggles. She has to revolve around men.
Without a man, she felt that life was meaningless.
She quickly ran to the side to pick up the cloth shoes that Wang Jinsuo had thrown away when he fell.
Ma Hongxiu was very annoyed: "If you hadn't held me back, making people think that I brought my biological parents to eat the family of my adoptive parents, things would never have turned out like this. You two old things, why don't you just die?"
After saying that, she snatched the cloth shoe with a hole in it from Zhu Dahong's thumb, threw it into the green belt across the road, and turned and left.
"You've turned the world upside down, you've turned the world upside down, why doesn't God strike you to death!" Wang Jinsuo's authority as a father was completely trampled on the ground today, and he was so angry that he kept cursing.
Zhu Dahong quickly ran over to pick up the shoes.
The family was making such a fuss that everyone leaving the community couldn't help but laugh at the joke.
Ma Hongxiu was ready to go back to the hotel in a hurry, but when she thought about facing Michael's questions, she felt uncomfortable and sat down on the stone bench beside her in confusion.
She has already calculated the time. She has both money and time. She wants to travel to Beijing and then return to the United States. When she arrives in the United States, she will not be afraid when facing the bank collection notices from that couple because she has money.
But now, I have nothing.
Su Wanping didn't know what Ma Hongxiu was doing now. She wiped her tears and watched Chen Xiaoying, Ma Guoxi and others helping her clean up the things that were messed up in the house.
Wait until everything is almost packed.
Ma Guoxi said, "We need to change the lock. Ma Hongxiu, no, doesn't Wang Hongxiu have the key to the house? She will come again."
That girl has been shameless since she was a child. If you talk to her, she will squint her eyes viciously and glare at you with contempt and disdain, which makes people feel angry just by looking at her.
At that time, I thought she was too young and didn't understand anything. But year after year, as she grew up, she became more and more like an ungrateful person.
Ma Guoming and Su Wanping did not adopt a daughter, they invited a young lady back. They were serving Wang Hongxiu as slaves, having food and clothes provided for them. If they were not satisfied with the work done, they would get angry.
"Okay, let Ma Shuai make the trip." Su Wanping said with a sigh.
Chen Xiaoying thought: "After this incident, she probably won't dare to come next time. They are all celebrities in the community. Whenever they come, everyone will be on guard against thieves. This is more effective than a lock."
"It's better to change the locks so that I can feel more at ease," said Ma Guoxi.
Chen Xiaoying thought about it and said, "Big Brother, what you said makes sense."
