Li Qiumei didn't know that Qian Jinshu's family had already decided to take advantage of her.
Li Qiumei took Yuanbao back home after lunch. She had to go find Cheng Zhiqian to discuss something.
Cheng Zhiqian was silent for a moment after hearing what Li Qiumei said, "Qiumei, with the character of the Qian family, if you want to settle this privately, I guess they will ask for a huge price.
Why not just let them sue, and then we'll just enforce whatever the court decides."
Li Qiumei frowned after hearing this, "Cheng Zhiqian, Qian Jinshu's family has no bottom line when it comes to doing things. You can't guess what they will ask for?
Oh, it makes me upset just thinking about it."
Cheng Zhiqian smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, the court is not opened for his family, how could he ask for an exorbitant price?
You should hurry up and prepare something to entertain Zhiwen and his wife during the Chinese New Year.
They're newlyweds, and this is Mu Qing's first time going to North City."
Li Qiumei gave him a glare and said, "Cheng Zhiqian, you are his elder brother, not his father. Why do I feel like you are welcoming your daughter-in-law home?"
Cheng Zhiqian patted Li Qiumei on the shoulder and said, "Wife, haven't you heard that the eldest brother is like a father?
We finally got rid of one, so we should celebrate.
There are only two left. Once these two get married, my mission will be accomplished."
Li Qiumei glared at him and said, "So your son is not part of your plan?"
Cheng Zhiqian slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, and there's this debt collector who wants to kill me."
Li Qiumei thought for a moment and asked, "Cheng Zhiqian, did your sister tell you when she's getting married?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the smile on Cheng Zhiqian's face disappeared.
"Ah, how should I know? She told me not to interfere, so you'd better not mention it, otherwise it will cause a big commotion during the New Year and it will be embarrassing."
Li Qiumei hummed, "I definitely won't mention it. I respect the wishes of anyone who refuses to listen."
Cheng Zhishan has been dating Song Qinghe for several years, but they just don't want to get married.
Cheng Zhiheng's daughter is over two years old, and even Cheng Zhiwen, who found a girlfriend after her, got married during the National Day.
Li Qiumei shook her head and said, forget it, it’s better not to meddle in other people’s business.
In recent years, she and Yang Huaihua opened a clothing factory in Beicheng. Because of the nature of Cheng Zhiqian's work, Yang Huaihua was appointed as the legal representative.
Li Qiumei also has two clothing wholesale stores in Lincheng, and has hired several sales staff to look after them.
On weekdays, Li Qiumei runs back and forth between Beicheng and Lincheng.
Last year, she bought a car which made travel more convenient and faster.
Tomorrow, she has to go back to the North City factory to have the accountant calculate her salary carefully. If it is too high, she is afraid that the child support will be too much and the Qian Dan siblings will benefit from it.
Cheng Zhiming was still taking extra classes in high school, and Yuanbao was reluctant to follow Li Qiumei back to North City. "Mom, North City is not fun. I want to wait for my uncle to have a holiday and go back with him to celebrate the New Year."
Cheng Zhiqian threatened him, "Yuanbao, if you don't go back with your mother, then follow me to work.
Then let Uncle Xiaowu take you for a run."
Yuanbao snorted and ran back to his room, making Cheng Zhiqian and Li Qiumei laugh.
Li Qiumei had to go to the store for something and met Qin Mingqiang at the door of the clothing store.
"Qiumei, are you here to shop at the clothing store too?"
"This is the shop I opened. Qin Mingqiang, are you here alone?"
"My wife is inside buying clothes. I'm waiting for her here."
Li Qiumei told the salesperson that she would charge Qin Mingqiang's wife according to the purchase price later.
The two of them stood at the door and started chatting.
"Qiumei, have you seen your second aunt recently?"
Li Qiumei shook her head. "I saw Qian Wanwan once when she got married, but she avoided me and didn't say anything."
Qin Mingqiang sighed: "Aunt Qian is sick, I don't know if she can survive this Spring Festival.
The patient has been taken home from the hospital."
Li Qiumei was shocked. "Last time I saw her, she was in good spirits. How could she collapse so suddenly?
Are she and Qian Jinguo still living in the same house as before?"
Qin Mingqiang shook his head. "Now, they live in their workplace in Jin Guo."
Li Qiumei recalled that when she had just divorced, her second aunt comforted her and kindly helped her find a partner.
Well, go and give her a ride.
"Qin Mingqiang, please give me an address. I'm going back to North City tomorrow, so I'll go see her."
The next day, as soon as she arrived in Beicheng, Li Qiumei went to see her second aunt.
The person who opened the door was an unfamiliar woman. "Who are you looking for?"
"I came to see Second Aunt."
An old voice said, "Is Qiu Mei here...?"
"Come in quickly!" The woman stepped aside to welcome Li Qiumei in.
She pointed to the room on her left, "My mother is in that room."
The door of Second Aunt's room was wide open. When Li Qiumei walked over, she saw a skinny old lady lying on the bed. Her face was pale and bloodless.
"Really...it's Akimi."
If Second Aunt hadn't spoken, Li Qiumei wouldn't have recognized her.
"Second Aunt, I just found out you were sick when I met Qin Mingqiang yesterday, so I came to see you today."
Second Aunt looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Just a little while. Go...go downstairs...buy some groceries. I'll talk to Qiu Mei..."
Xiao Hui nodded, "Okay, I'll go out and buy some food while you guys chat."
Second Aunt kept staring at Xiaohui's back until she closed the door and left.
"Qiumei, this is my retribution." As soon as the second aunt opened her mouth, Li Qiumei was stunned.
How come Second Aunt, who was gasping for breath just now, could speak a complete sentence in the blink of an eye?
Just when Li Qiumei was confused, her second aunt told her everything she had done that year.
Li Qiumei's jaw dropped again. She looked at her Second Aunt carefully and said, "It's not simple. She was able to endure for two years and slowly kill my Second Uncle and the others.
Who says uneducated housewives don't have any scheming? If you run into Second Aunt, you won't even know how you died."
After telling these secrets, Second Aunt looked visibly relieved.
“Qiumei, Jinguo also knows about that matter, and this kid is afraid that I will know, so he is trying hard to cover it up.
My poor son, he has been carrying too much pressure in his heart and has been forcing himself to smile in front of me all these years.
I had no choice but to force him to marry and have children, fearing that if I passed away one day, he would at least have someone to tie him down and not follow me."
Li Qiumei didn't know what to say. Putting aside other things, Second Aunt's maternal love for Qian Jinguo was deep. She would take action in advance to resolve anything that might hurt Qian Jinguo.
Second Aunt interrupted Li Qiumei's contemplation, "Qiumei, my disease is incurable.
I want to go home to see my son and grandson and spend one last Spring Festival with them.
When I die, I will be buried in the city and not in the Qian family’s ancestral tomb.
In my next life, I will never be reborn again."
Li Qiumei felt that these words were strangely familiar, and thought, weren't these the words she said in her previous life?
It turns out that every unhappy woman's wish before dying is not to be reborn in the next life.
