"You haven't gotten into trouble again, have you?" Li Zhenhua asked.
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. "Dad, what are you saying? What trouble could I possibly cause at home?"
"That would be for the best," Li Zhenhua sneered.
Seeing her husband criticizing their son again, Yu Huimin felt uneasy.
Thinking about the humiliation she had just suffered at the hands of Li Huai and his wife, she felt even worse.
However, what was even worse for her was yet to come.
Zhang Yu's speed in taking action is incredible.
The day after returning from Li Huai's place, he reported the matter to Li Zhenhua.
The key is that he hasn't revealed himself yet.
Li Zhenhua was originally going to work, but because of this matter, he had to go back home.
Li Wei didn't sleep well all night because of that phone call. After Da Shan left home and his mother went out, he started searching around the house.
Desperate for a cure, he searched for money and other valuables in his home.
Just as Li Wei was engrossed in flipping through the pages, a gloomy voice came from behind him.
"What are you doing?"
So engrossed in his search, Li Wei didn't hear the commotion outside. Startled, he turned around and saw his father's ashen face. He was standing in his parents' bedroom.
"No, I wasn't doing anything, Dad. I was just looking for something," Li Wei said, trying to sound calm.
"Looking for something, you went to my and your mother's room?" Li Zhenhua sneered, not believing a word of it.
"Dad, I'm not lying to you, I really am looking for something. You can ask Mom when she gets back." His mom would definitely side with him.
"Then tell me what you're looking for?"
"Ah." Li Wei hesitated for a moment.
That one moment was enough to expose his lie.
As soon as Yu Huimin arrived at her doorstep, she heard her son wailing and howling.
"Dad, Dad, stop hitting me! Mom, Mom, please save me!"
Yu Huimin dropped her things and rushed inside.
"What are you doing, Lao Li? Stop it."
Li Zhenhua's collar was open, and he stopped what he was doing, holding a stick in his hand. He looked at his wife with a furious expression.
Do you know what kind of mischief your good son has gotten into this time?
"Old Li, can't we just talk things out?" She felt a surge of resentment.
They're both sons, so why is it that when the husband is with Li Huai, he's all smiles and fawning, but when it comes to his own son, he's all cold and distant?
"Speak properly? It seems you don't know either. Your good son was cheated out of a lot of money while doing business outside." Li Zhenhua didn't believe it at first, but when he found out it was true, he was furious.
"What?" Yu Huimin looked at her son. "Xiaowei, is what your dad said true?"
Li Wei's eyes darted away.
In an instant, Yu Huimin knew it was real, and her vision began to go black.
That's it, her last bit of savings has been squandered by her son.
Li Zhenhua thought his wife was angry and continued, "He still owes a lot of money. Does he want to destroy our family? I really wish I could strangle him when he was born."
He had long since given up on his youngest son's achievements and the glory he could bring him, but his youngest son kept getting into trouble, getting away with it once only to do it again and again.
Can this family really hold on?
Yu Huimin rushed to her son and shook him.
"Xiaowei, your dad is lying to me, right? None of this is true, right?"
Unfortunately, Li Wei lowered his head.
It's over, it's really over now.
Where would they find the money to pay off their huge debts?
Li Zhenhua was also filled with despair.
He may seem to hold a high position, but in reality, he doesn't have much money.
Before his wife went to prison, he gave all his salary to her to manage.
Although he later kept his salary, he would only give a portion of it as living expenses after his wife was released from prison.
But after all this time, he hasn't saved much money, at least not enough to cover his son's debts.
Even if he was furious, Li Zhenhua knew that these debts had to be repaid.
They'd already hit him, they'd already scolded him, and when Huimin was crying and begging her husband to save Li Wei, Li Zhenhua looked utterly dejected.
"What can I do? Steal or rob to make money for you?"
"Dad, find Li Huai," Li Wei suddenly said.
Yu Huimin immediately became excited. "Yes, find Li Huai. Old Li, Liu Rumei definitely left more than just that courtyard for Li Huai. If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this is a matter of life and death. Please ask Li Huai to help the family."
Li Zhenhua wanted to say no, but when he looked at his wife and son with their longing expressions, he didn't know how to refuse.
Could it be that she really is abandoning her youngest son?
Yes, since Liu Rumei was able to leave her son that courtyard, she probably also left him even more wealth.
He wasn't after those things; he just had no other choice.
Li Huai's holiday was limited, and his family could only stay in Beijing until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before taking the train back home.
Because my train was in the morning, I started packing on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
When the gate was knocked on, it was Old Master Dou who went to open it.
Upon seeing that it was Li Zhenhua, Old Master Dou's face fell.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here." Knowing the attitude of Li Huai and his wife, Old Master Dou said without hesitation.
"I have something to discuss with Li Huai," Li Zhenhua pleaded.
Old Master Dou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Stand here and wait."
After saying that, he closed the door and went inside to inform them.
"He's here again?" Li Huai asked in surprise.
This shouldn't be happening. My wife and I have already embarrassed them so badly, how come they're back so soon?
