Chapter 7
"Mom, if we just show up at her house like this, will she give us money?"
Huo Feifei stood at the gate, hurriedly grabbed Liu Cuifen's arm, looking a little worried.
"How dare she refuse! It was your father and I who lent her mother the money for medical treatment. I should repay her life-saving grace with all my heart!"
"That's a reciprocal gesture."
"I don't care what she reports, I'm going to take this money today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Cuifen strode forward, walked to the gate of the villa and rang the doorbell.
Huo Feifei stood at the door of the villa, feeling a chill on her back and feeling uneasy. She glanced around and tugged at Liu Cuifen's sleeve.
"Mom, mom, I always feel that this place is eerie. Why don't we leave and come back next time."
Seeing her daughter being so useless, Liu Cuifen pushed Huo Feifei's head away and said angrily,
"What are you afraid of? She can still eat you. Look at your useless appearance. You deserve to live a poor life!"
Turning around again, Liu Cuifen was about to press the doorbell when she saw a face suddenly appear on the door in front of her. The lips moved slightly, and a word fell into Liu Cuifen's ears.
"Who is useless?"
Liu Cuifen had lived for more than 40 years and had never seen such a scene. She was so scared that she fell to the ground and screamed.
When Huo Feifei looked up, the face had already disappeared. She quickly helped Liu Cuifen up and asked in confusion,
"Mom, what are you calling me? You're obviously more timid than me."
Liu Cuifen raised her hand and pointed at the door, speaking incoherently,
"Face...face...there was a human face just now."
Huo Feifei was stunned, and her scalp tingled. But when she looked around, she saw nothing. She forced a smile on her face.
"There's no such thing as a face. You must be seeing things."
Liu Cuifen heard this and took a closer look. She found that there was nothing on the door covered with patterns. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Maybe I saw it wrong, I saw it wrong."
Liu Cuifen took a step forward and was about to press the doorbell when the magnificent door in front of her suddenly opened wide, and a cool breeze blew in their faces. Although it was the middle of summer, the two of them couldn't help but shiver.
Huo Feifei felt something was wrong and looked inside the house. There was no one in the house. Liu Cuifen stepped into the door with envy in her eyes.
"How impressive! This money-loser is actually so rich! When her short-lived mother was sick, she had the nerve to ask us for a loan."
After that, Liu Cuifen looked around the hall and picked up a piece of blue and white porcelain.
"This item must be worth a lot of money. The texture is different."
As he spoke, he put the blue and white porcelain into a plastic bag and prepared to pack it up.
Huo Feifei walked in tremblingly, holding Liu Cuifen's hand, trying to stop her behavior.
"Mom, don't take it yet. I always feel that this place is weird. It doesn't look like anyone lives there. Could we have been deceived by Lin Yiyi?"
Liu Cuifen was busy packing valuable items.
"No, we have no grudge against Lin Yiyi. Lin Yiyi is happy when Lin Sheng is not doing well. Hurry up and help. If that little bitch comes later, there will be no chance."
Hearing this, Huo Feifei put her worries aside for the moment and stepped forward to help.
"Woof!"
A fierce cry came from behind her. Huo Feifei turned around to look, but before she could see the whole picture, a blue and white shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and rushed towards her.
"Ah! I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to steal!"
When Liu Cuifen heard the noise, she looked over and saw an unknown species with two small legs in blue and white color stepping on Huo Feifei. It had an arrogant look on its face and its eyes were red and fierce. She was frightened and fell to the ground. She stepped back repeatedly.
"Don't eat me, don't eat me. I didn't do anything."
"Wangcai, how can you be so rude to a guest? Why are you riding on her? She doesn't want to play the mouse game with you."
A clear voice came from the second floor. I, the little guy, groaned in grievance and ran out of the door, disappearing without a trace.
Lin Sheng, wearing patched clothes, walked down from the second floor slowly, and greeted the two of them in a leisurely manner.
"So it's my aunt and Sister Huo. I apologize for my poor hospitality. There have been a lot of rats lately, and I was afraid of losing things, so I bought a guard dog. I was tactless and bumped into you, so please don't be offended."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Cuifen hurriedly stood up, hid the bag behind her, and said with an apologetic smile,
"Living in such a big house makes it easy for thieves to come in, so it's only natural to be on guard. Feifei and I happened to be passing by and wanted to come see you."
Hearing such high-sounding words, Lin Sheng couldn't help but sneer.
"My aunt is so thoughtful that a relative she hasn't seen in a hundred or eighty years can actually come to see me. What kind of gift did she bring me? Why is she hiding it?"
Liu Cuifen quickly hid the bag behind her, concealing her expression and explaining,
"My neighbor asked me to bring this, it's not for you. I forgot to bring a gift this time. Next time, I will definitely make it up to you."
Lin Sheng looked between the two of them, and finally landed on the bag, with a meaningful look on his face.
"Then please remember this, Auntie. Next time you come, don't come empty-handed."
Liu Cuifen nodded, not realizing anything was wrong. She just kept thinking about it and spoke to herself.
"Xiao Sheng, I came here this time because I want to ask you for help with something. You know, your cousin has a miserable life. He is thirty years old and still a bachelor. Now he finally found someone he likes, but the other party asked for a betrothal gift of two million. How can we afford it?
Since we lent money to your mother for her medical treatment, you should repay her by helping your cousin pay the bride price."
When Huo Yushu was ill, she had no other choice but to ask Liu Cuifen's family for a loan. Lin Sheng recalled the scene and found it ridiculous.
Liu Cuifen took out five hundred yuan and threw it in Huo Yushu's face. The money fell to the ground and she asked Huo Yushu to kneel down to pick it up. She also claimed that she would sever ties with Huo Yushu and never have any contact with her again.
Now they came to him with such a shameless face, Lin Sheng really admired the thickness of this family's face, which was more than enough to build the Great Wall.
"Five hundred yuan for two million, aunt, you're really creative! This isn't just asking for too much. Even a glutton would call you 'ancestor' when they see you."
"The ancestor can't afford it, and I have no other choice. The only person I can think of is you. Look, you live in a villa now, at least a house worth tens of millions. You can definitely come up with this amount of money. Just think of it as a good deed and help your cousin."
"Aunt, you think too highly of me. This is something someone lent me. I'm just a temporary worker looking after houses. I can't afford to live in such a luxurious house. Please take it back."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cuifen's expression suddenly changed.
"Impossible! Lin Yiyi told me everything. This is your house. I think you've forgotten your roots now that you've made money. If I hadn't lent you and your daughter money, your mother would have died long ago."
Huo Feifei was standing aside. When she heard this, she suddenly panicked and hurried forward to grab Liu Cuifen, signaling her to stop talking.
Lin Sheng's face gradually darkened, his eyes became more fierce, and he asked back,
"Did Lin Yiyi ask you to come? Aunt, you actually colluded with her to harm me. What kind of friendship do you have?"
Liu Cuifen's expression suddenly changed after she let the cat out of the bag. Her aura instantly weakened, and she began to make excuses.
"She wanted to harm you, but it has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to come and see you. If we don't see each other for a long time, we'll become strangers. It's better to keep in touch."
Having said that, Lin Sheng naturally didn't bother to be polite with her. A bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand very naturally.
"It just so happens that I'm a little short of money recently. This family still owes me three months' salary. Aunt, I don't even have money to eat, you see..."
Seeing that her wallet was about to be lost, Liu Cuifen immediately became alert and said carelessly,
"It's getting late. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Liu Cuifen pulling Huo Feifei away without stopping, Lin Sheng added at the right time,
"Aunt, remember to come empty-handed next time. I'm still waiting for my cousin to marry a beautiful, wealthy woman, reach the pinnacle of life, and make money to support me. You must remember!"
Liu Cuifen walked out of the door quickly and couldn't help but spit at the villa.
"We've definitely been fooled by Lin Yiyi. She's poor but still dreams of good things. Bah! She's such a money-loser! Why should my son support her? She's just like her short-lived mother! I'll have to avoid her from now on."
Huo Feifei followed Liu Cuifen, frowning slightly, feeling confused.
"Mom, we haven't received the money yet, are we just leaving like this?"
Liu Cuifen came to ask for money full of jealousy, but she was also afraid that Lin Sheng would be more successful than her own son, so she slapped Huo Feifei on the head in annoyance.
"Look at her patched up body. How could she possibly afford to live in a villa? If she doesn't leave now, does she want me to treat her to a meal?"
After driving the mother and daughter away, Lin Sheng looked towards the door and could not help but scoff.
"Humph, her good-for-nothing son pretended to be rich and got the girl, but he didn't know that her family was in debt. He just wanted to find a scapegoat to pay off the debt. Once the debt was paid, he kicked him out. What a show."
Wangcai walked up to Lin Sheng and bit her trouser leg, his light blue amber eyes full of pride.
Lin Sheng gently scratched Wangcai's chin, teasing him constantly and praising him with a satisfied tone.
"Evil will be punished by evil, and there are still many weird people in the world. You did a good job today, and I will reward you with a small chicken drumstick for lunch."
"Woof!"
Lin Sheng was suddenly amused and couldn't help but complain.
"You're getting better and better at barking like a dog. Anyway, what kind of species are you? You look nothing like a dog, but you're pretty fast at imitating sounds."
After saying that, he took off the talisman on his body, and Lin Sheng's clothes changed instantly. He was wearing a silk pajamas, showing a lazy look. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he put two drops of eye drops, showing a bitter face, and dialed the phone.
"Officer Shen, I want to call the police to catch a thief. All the valuable porcelain in the hall has been stolen. It's worth two million. You have to make the decision for me!"
As soon as Liu Cuifen stepped into her home, two policemen came to her door.
"Hello, we received a call from the police, reporting that you were stealing. Please come with us."
Liu Cuifen was holding a bag in her hand. Before she could put it down, she was taken away with her belongings, yelling,
"It's unfair. I didn't steal it. My niece gave it to me. Xiaofei, go find that money-loser and save me!"
