Before they knew it, the day that Liu Laoniang and Zhao Qiang had agreed upon arrived.
The initial two hundred yuan was delayed again and again, and now Liu's mother and Xiong's mother have only managed to scrape together less than one hundred yuan.
Today, neither Old Man Liu nor Liu Qiangdao are home; only a few women and a child are there.
Old Lady Liu hid a knife in her waistband.
She couldn't afford to pay anyway, and even if she managed to scrape together 500, Zhao Qiang wouldn't come back.
Impossible, Zhao Qiang's appetite will only grow bigger and bigger.
Old Lady Liu was waiting in the yard early in the morning.
Xiong Jing also sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't get any answers from her mother.
Li Xia stayed inside for a while, but couldn't resist her gossipy nature, so she moved a small stool to sit at her doorway, mending Liu Qiangdao's pants while waiting for the show to begin.
Grandma Xiong was busy in the yard, sweeping the floor and drying chili peppers.
Zhao Qiang finally arrived at 10:00 AM.
Following behind Zhao Qiang was Liu Aimei, who was bundled up tightly.
Liu Aimei was already waiting outside the alley. Fortunately, she had lost a lot of weight recently, so no one recognized her. After Zhao Qiang entered the alley, she followed him in.
Zhao Qiang slammed his fist on the Liu family's door.
The door was opened from the inside, and Old Lady Liu came out, then quickly closed the door again, as if afraid of being overheard or seen by others.
Liu Aimei hid behind a corner of a nearby alley and saw the two talking.
Before long, Zhao Qiang followed Liu Laoniang toward the grove behind the house.
This community is not as well developed as Heping Lane. Behind Heping Lane is a large field where each household can grow some vegetables. But here in Liu's area, there is less field and mostly undeveloped woods. If you want to walk through the woods, it takes at least ten minutes. Few people usually come here. The main road is just outside the woods.
Liu Aimei followed carefully, hiding behind a haystack.
"He Shuqiong, where's the money?"
"That's all I managed to gather."
"I've given you this much time, are you kidding me?!"
"Don't forget, Xiong Jing is also your daughter. You have no children, no wife. When Xiong Jing finds out you are her biological father, she can take care of you when you get old. Why do you have to destroy all of this?"
"Whether I'm ruined or not, I'm still her biological father, and she should take care of me in my old age! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and give me the money, otherwise, if your husband and son find out about this, you can expect to be kicked out! He Shuqiong, I've given you time, I've waited from New Year's Eve until now, I've been giving you enough face!"
Old Lady Liu was so angry that her teeth chattered.
Since that's the case, then we can't blame her!
Old Lady Liu acted quickly, drawing her knife and stabbing it into Zhao Qiang's stomach.
Before Zhao Qiang could react, he saw a white knife go in and a red one come out. His eyes widened in fury, "He Shuqiong, I'm going to kill you!!!"
Zhao Qiang has been involved in the underworld for so many years, his hands are already stained with blood.
He clutched his stomach, raised his hand, and slapped Old Lady Liu across the face.
Old Lady Liu felt a buzzing in her ear from the slap, saw stars, and saw Zhao Qiang swaying.
She quickly got up from the ground and stabbed him again.
Zhao Qiang rolled his eyes, his eyelids fluttered, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Old Lady Liu never imagined that she had actually killed someone.
She had deliberately worn black clothes today, so the bloodstains weren't very noticeable. She hurriedly looked around, but there were trees everywhere and hardly anyone around. It was far from home, so no one should have seen it.
Old Lady Liu dug the pit yesterday, dragged Zhao Qiang into it, and covered it with soil and leaves.
A thunderous roar echoed in the sky.
Old Lady Liu was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, large drops of rain, like beans, poured down from the sky.
Old Lady Liu wiped the rain off her face, her teeth chattering.
"You forced me to do this. I didn't want to kill you. I said so many things, but you wouldn't listen. You deserve to die, you deserve to die..."
Old Lady Liu put the knife back into her waistband. After making sure no one was around, she didn't go home, but ran towards the main road outside.
Liu Aimei was still hiding behind the haystack, the scene of her mother stabbing someone still echoing in her mind.
Even Xiong Jing's background was forgotten by Liu Aimei.
Her mother committed murder...
Murder...
Liu Aimei was an eyewitness.
She stared in the direction where Zhao Qiang was buried, her heart torn between two conflicting emotions. The rain soaked Liu Aimei to the bone, and a sharp pain returned to her stomach.
She gritted her teeth and headed towards the grove.
Just then, someone came from the main road and was walking this way. Liu Aimei froze on the spot and had no choice but to pretend to be passing by the grove.
As the two groups of people parted ways.
Liu Aimei glanced at the two people, a man and a woman.
Liu Aimei felt it was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
The other person was also looking at Liu Aimei.
Liu Aimei quickened her pace and walked away.
After walking along the path and then through a small alley, you reach the main road, where it's bustling with activity.
Liu Aimei stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked back in the direction of the grove.
You...you shouldn't come looking for me.
I did think about saving you...
Don't, don't come looking for me...
Liu Aimei rushed home, took a hot shower, and took the medicine prescribed by the doctor. She clutched her stomach tightly, trembling all over...
Listen to Zhao Qiang and her mother.
Xiong Jing is Zhao Qiang's daughter.
However, her mother didn't want Zhao Qiang to reveal this, and she couldn't let her father and older brother know...
The answer is obvious.
Xiong Jing is her mother's daughter with Zhao Qiang!
No wonder her mother insisted on letting He Shulan and Xiong Jing live at home, and even wanted to borrow money from her to solve Xiong Jing's problem!
No wonder, no wonder! She hit Xiong Jing because of Xiong Jing! And she even tried to get Song Guomin and Xiong Jing together...
