It's easy to keep this a secret.
Old Lady Liu gave him five hundred yuan, and he kept the matter to himself, otherwise...
Zhao Qiang then went to find Old Man Liu.
All he wants is money; if he doesn't get it, he'll fight to the death.
Old Lady Liu trembled with rage, "Don't talk nonsense! Xiong Jing is my niece, what does she have to do with you!"
Zhao Qiang chuckled, "Whether it matters or not, you know it yourself. Have you forgotten what my sister looks like?"
Zhao Qiang's sister is an idiot.
A figure vaguely appeared in the depths of Old Lady Liu's memory.
A few years after Liu's mother got married, she heard from her mother that Zhao Qiang's sister had slipped on the road in the rain and fallen off a cliff to her death.
Old Lady Liu stubbornly refused to admit it.
"You're talking nonsense! What your sister looks like is none of my business. The Xiong family and your Zhao family are not related. You beast, you're just greedy for money!"
Zhao Qiang was initially not entirely sure.
Looking at Liu Laoniang's strong and calm expression, Zhao Qiang had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Zhao Qiang's face was full of greed. "Fine, if you don't give me the money, I'll go find your man."
Now that it's Lunar New Year's Eve, both Old Man Liu and Liu Qiangdao are on holiday at home.
After saying this, Zhao Qiang bypassed Old Lady Liu and headed to enter the Liu family's gate.
Old Lady Liu was so angry she was practically fuming; she wanted nothing more than to hack Zhao Qiang to pieces!
More than 20 years have passed, how come Zhao Qiang is still alive!
Old Lady Liu suppressed her panic, "Say whatever you want, but don't blame me if you get kicked out!"
Zhao Qiang stopped in his tracks.
Just then, Liu Qiangdao came out of his house.
"Mom, who is this? Dad wants you to come in and roll out the dough."
Liu Qiang stared at Zhao Qiang. He had never seen this man before. Li Xia had called him out to see what was so interesting about him.
Zhao Qiang chuckled, "So you're Liu Qiangdao?"
Liu Qiang hummed in response, "What's wrong? Do you recognize me?"
In the courtyard, Li Xia calmly ate sunflower seeds, but her eyes kept glancing at the very nervous Old Lady Xiong and Xiong Jing, who was oblivious and teasing Zhuang Chenghao.
Sounds came from outside.
"Oh, I'm your mom—"
"Alright, what's there to talk about? I don't have any money to lend you!" Old Lady Liu's heart was pounding. She then looked at Liu Qiang and said, "Qiang, hurry up and go out and buy a bottle of soy sauce. We'll need it tonight."
Liu Qiangdao glanced at Zhao Qiang again before leaving.
Zhao Qiang's smile vanished, and he glared fiercely at Old Lady Liu.
"Looks like you're still scared. Are you really that afraid of people finding out about Xiong Jing's background? You were quite willing to do so back then—"
"Shut up!" Old Lady Liu was so angry she wanted to kill Zhao Qiang right then and there. She lowered her voice to a whisper, "I don't have five hundred, at most two hundred!"
Zhao Qiang said coldly, "We agreed on five hundred, not a penny less. If you can't afford it, then pay in three installments and settle the debt within six months."
Liu's father's voice came from the Liu family's courtyard.
"He Shuqiong, I'm already so busy, what are you still doing outside?!"
Zhao Qiang, with his fierce-looking face, waited for Liu Laoniang's answer.
"He Shuqiong, if your man finds out, your sister and Xiong Jing will both be kicked out. Xiong Jing's son can't even walk steadily. Ha, five hundred yuan to buy him out is a great deal. I didn't even ask for a thousand, that's already giving you face."
The sound came from the courtyard again.
It was Old Lady Bear speaking.
"Brother-in-law, let me roll out the dough. It's easy. Qiangdao went out to buy soy sauce earlier, so it'll be quick." Old Mrs. Xiong tried her best to divert Old Mr. Liu's attention.
Li Xia watched this scene with a smile.
Go ahead and fight! It would be best if they fought!
Old Man Liu still wanted to go outside.
Old Mrs. Bear stamped her feet in frustration.
As I stepped outside, I saw Old Lady Liu muttering and cursing.
"What's going on? Who is it? You've been talking for so long."
Old Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, "Hmph, my mother's relatives, I don't know how they found out, they keep asking to borrow money, and they won't leave until they've been talking for ages."
Upon hearing that they were poor relatives, Old Man Liu didn't bother to ask any more questions.
Their relatives are all poor, while the Song family's relatives are all rich!
Damn it!
Old Liu entered the house, grumbling and cursing.
Old Lady Liu turned her head and glanced in the direction Zhao Qiang had left.
The person is gone.
Five hundred yuan!
Where is she going to get the money?!
Li Xia glanced at Old Lady Liu's expression, then continued to happily crack sunflower seeds.
Old Lady Xiong frowned and looked at her eldest sister.
Old Lady Liu's eyes were filled with anger.
"I'll tell you later."
Xiong Jing knew nothing at all.
Li Xia walked past her, looking down at her.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Jing was actually her mother-in-law's daughter.
