An Meihua kept shaking her head, tears blurring her vision, and she suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Qin, "I really have no choice but to ask you for help. I was wrong before, but I was also punished and lost my job in the city. If Yongming hadn't helped me and brought me back, I would still be trapped in that poor village.
To me, he is my benefactor and the father of my daughter. I really have no other choice. Please help me!"
"If you really want to save him, you should have persuaded him to change his ways earlier. He brought this upon himself. Besides, you probably don't know that my dad was attacked and seriously injured in the vegetable garden, and the murderer was him. I haven't settled the score with him yet! Do you want me to leave now and pretend you were never here, or do you want me to give him a push and let him go to hell sooner?"
An Meihua met Lin Qin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her heart sank instantly. She just watched Lin Qin leave her.
"Ah!" An Meihua burst into tears beside the Nanxi River and didn't stop until the child started howling.
She was helpless, and Ma Cuihua waited for two days but there was still no movement. She almost guessed the result.
He was so angry that he scolded Lin Qin for several days at home.
Liu Yongguo advised her not to be angry but she refused to listen, so he had no choice but to let her die.
Amid the chaos in the Liu family, Liu Yongming's verdict finally came down.
"What! Death penalty! How can it be so severe?" Granny Liu stood up in shock and looked at Su Shengning in disbelief.
At this moment, she felt cold all over, and the pastries on the table had lost their taste.
Su Shengning comforted her, "Don't be afraid, grandma. It was only after our investigation that we found that Liu Yongming had more than just work style problems. What you said were just minor matters. The most serious thing he did was accepting bribes and money laundering for people above him, with the amount reaching 50 million.
Besides, he has two more murders on his hands, and the evidence is irrefutable.”
Originally, Su Shengning didn't need to come here, but he was worried that the verdict on Liu Yongming would spread and the old man would feel burdened, so he came here in person to tell him.
Liu Ling at the side asked cautiously: "Who did he kill?"
Su Shengning looked at Liu Ling with clear eyes, and hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he finally decided to say it out loud, "I killed a gangster who was a loan shark, and Fang Meixiang."
"Ah?" Granny Liu and Liu Ling were both stunned.
The two looked at each other, both confused.
"No, that's not right! I remember Fang Meixiang brought some people to the Liu family and caused a scene last month. She took 500 yuan from Liu Yongming before leaving." Grandma Liu looked certain.
Su Shengning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grandma, how do you know Fang Meixiang asked for 500 yuan?"
"It's Ma Cuihua! Fang Meixiang took the money and just left, she stood at the door of her house with her hands on her hips and yelled, calling Fang Meixiang a shameless bitch, saying that Fang Meixiang asked for too much, and that the 500 yuan was a life-saving payment."
"Hiss!" Granny Liu reacted and covered her mouth in horror, "Is this really a life-threatening payment?"
Liu Ling felt goosebumps all over her body and unconsciously leaned towards Su Shengning, "Liu Yongming killed Fang Meixiang just because of this? They are still husband and wife after all!"
Su Shengning sighed softly, his eyes dim, "According to Liu Yongming's confession, the reason why he killed Fang Meixiang was because Fang Meixiang's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. At first, she wanted twenty dollars a month, and in the second year, she wanted forty dollars a month. In the last few months, she always asked for money under various pretexts, and the amount increased from one hundred to five hundred.
He threatened Fang Meixiang if she didn't give him the money. He suspected that Fang Meixiang knew about his bribery and was also worried that he could not satisfy Fang Meixiang's appetite. So he decided to go all out and killed her a week after Fang Meixiang left the Liu family.
The means were extremely cruel, so I won’t say more, for fear that if I told you, you would have nightmares when you sleep.”
The room fell into an eerie silence, and no one spoke.
Su Shengning drank the last cup of tea, stood up and said, "Okay, I should go back too, grandma. Liu Yongming is a dangerous person with no moral bottom line. You are here to eliminate harm for the people, so you don't need to have any psychological burden. We will keep the Liu family's affairs to ourselves and don't need to tell anyone."
Granny Liu looked at him with gratitude, "You are a good boy. Thank you, Granny! Xiaoling, please see the guests off for me."
Liu Ling nodded and followed Su Shengning out obediently.
As soon as the two walked out of the house, they heard a commotion across the street.
"You can't leave!" Ma Cuihua's sharp voice successfully stopped the two of them.
"Let go!" An Meihua struggled hard. "Liu Yongming and I haven't obtained a marriage certificate. The law doesn't recognize that I am from your Liu family. And I haven't confiscated any betrothal gifts from your Liu family. I want to leave, and you can't stop me!"
"Okay! I knew that you, a woman, are not a good person either, just like Lin Qin and Fang Meixiang! You will not have a good ending!" Ma Cuihua shouted.
An Meihua was so angry that she pushed Ma Cuihua hard. Ma Cuihua staggered, sat down on the ground suddenly, and started crying.
An Meihua's face was grim, and she spat on the ground viciously, "You damn old woman, I tell you, if it weren't for Liu Yongming, Fang Meixiang wouldn't have died. A murderer like him should be shot!"
If the Public Security Bureau had not announced Liu Yongming's crimes, she would not have known that the man she was protecting was a murderer. It would have been fine if he was just a murderer, but this man killed his former bedmate.
An Meihua couldn't imagine whether she would be killed silently by Liu Yongming if she blocked Liu Yongming's way one day!
In particular, she was indeed planning to force Liu Yongming to get married with her, but she had not yet done it.
When An Meihua thought that she might be killed at any time and anywhere, she felt a chill all over her body and forgot all the old feelings.
The two women cursed at each other in the yard for a long time. Ma Cuihua, an old lady who had just been discharged from the hospital, couldn't stop An Meihua.
Liu Ling and Su Shengning reacted, turned around immediately, and walked out of the alley together.
An Meihua behind them quickly caught up, passed them, and hurried out of the alley.
The two of them just kept watching An Meihua leave, completely forgetting that they were still sticking together.
Li San's mother's voice came from behind the two of them, "Hey Liu Ling! They're dating! He's pretty handsome! Where are they from? How old are they? What do they do?"
Liu Ling reacted and quickly hid to the side. Her pretty face flushed red. She smiled politely at Li San's mother and quickly urged Su Shengning to leave.
Li San's mother was not giving up. She shouted at the top of her voice behind them: "Why are you running? Auntie won't eat you! Tell me what's wrong! If you don't tell me, I'll ask myself!"
Liu Ling's face turned pale instantly. "It's over! That woman is a famous gossip in our neighborhood. If she spreads the news everywhere, it will be bad!"
She could ignore the dirty water thrown by Ma Cuihua. After all, Ma Cuihua's reputation had long been ruined and no one believed what she said.
But Li San's mother is different. She has a large group of old women. They can't keep any news secret. They can say good or bad things. (End of this chapter)
