Su Qingci suspects that Liu Siqing is a scumbag.
He seemed willing to give up his life for Zhong Linfang. After Zhong Linfang left, he was depressed for a few days, but then he was full of energy again.
Now that Xiao Yuehua is gone, Liu Siqing is invincible when it comes to grabbing food at the dinner table.
After the New Year, Shen Chuntao successfully got a job in the town.
The prospect of becoming a permanent employee at the grain station made Xiao Quangui and his family green with envy.
But the current Shen Chuntao is no longer someone the Xiao family could easily manipulate, especially since it was Xiao Quangui who made the decision to separate her away back then.
Xiao Quangui, along with Xiao Jian and Xiao Long, visited Shen Chuntao twice, hoping to persuade her to return to the Xiao family.
As you can imagine, not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was also embarrassed several times, making quite a fool of himself in Gaotang Brigade.
After Shen Chuntao started working in town, she had more opportunities to visit Su Qingci.
Su Qingci finally sensed something was wrong after repeated stickiness.
She discovered that Shen Chuntao, the seemingly gentle and harmless little white rabbit, not only harbored inexplicable hostility towards Song Jingzhou, but also had an abnormal possessiveness towards her.
The occasional glimpse of affection in her eyes was enough to send chills down Su Qingci's spine.
Just when Su Qingci was wondering if she was gay, Shen Chuntao suddenly distanced herself from her and started getting close to a male comrade at the grain station.
Kyoto.
Qin Xiangxiang never forgot about Li Yueniang.
Seeing that Su Yi could receive his salary normally again, Qin Xiangxiang became even more vigilant.
Finally, in March, Su Yi received his salary of over 83 yuan again after half a year.
He has been scrimping and saving for more than half a year, and has experienced life without money. Now he values money more than his own life.
However, on the same day that she received her March salary, Li Yueniang reappeared.
Now, not only was Qin Xiangxiang hostile, but Su Yi was also on high alert.
After sitting for a while, Li Yueniang had to admit one thing: the couple had become smarter, and it would probably be harder for them to make money in the future.
Seeing that she couldn't gain anything from it, she could only put on the airs of an elder and give Su Yi and Qin Xiangxiang a good lecture on how to be good people.
He finished Qin Xiangxiang's pot of tea, stuffed the melon seeds and flowers on the tea tray into his pocket, and even took a half-cut pumpkin from Qin Xiangxiang, saying he would make pumpkin porridge when he got back. Then he patted his behind and left.
Qin Xiangxiang's forehead throbbed; she felt as if her heart was really starting to have problems.
Every time she met Li Yueniang, she felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
The grand principles Li Yueniang spoke were truly nauseating, but she had to maintain her composure and endure it.
Because she knew that the unreasonable old woman was deliberately provoking her, and that she would take the opportunity to throw a tantrum when she couldn't take it anymore, so she had to endure it even if she couldn't help it.
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When Li Yueniang started cursing with her eyes wide open, he thought she was going to hit him again.
As the old woman gets older, her temperament has finally softened.
Watching Li Yueniang's swift departure, Qin Xiangxiang finally decided to take action.
As long as Li Yueniang lives, their family will never have a peaceful life.
Besides, why should she take more than eighty yuan from me every month?
With only eighty-odd yuan a month and a thousand-odd yuan a year, Li Yueniang couldn't live long enough to earn that much.
She pondered for a while, thinking that it would be best to completely absolve herself of any involvement in this matter, so that even if it were discovered, she would have no connection to it whatsoever.
That afternoon.
A nurse at the hospital was changing a patient's dressing when Qin Xiangxiang came in with a registration book.
"Yanmei, how is the wound healing?"
"Head Nurse, the healing is going well, there are no signs of infection, and it looks like the stitches can be removed in a couple of days."
Qin Xiangxiang lowered her head and looked closely at the patient's wound. She nodded and helped hang the medicine from the trolley on the IV stand next to the bed.
"Sigh~"
Yanmei looked up. "What's wrong? You haven't seemed to be in a good mood these past few days."
"What else could it be? It's that old thing, ugh, just thinking about it annoys me!"
Yanmei was also the true love of a cadre in the military compound, and she knew all about Qin Xiangxiang's situation better than anyone else.
"Hasn't she been coming less often?"
Qin Xiangxiang seemed to have found someone to confide in, and glanced casually at the two young men playing cards next to her.
"You've come less often? You wouldn't believe it, but you came again yesterday when you were getting your salary. You stayed at my house all afternoon, had a meal and some tea before you left."
"I'm so angry! Last time they took more than 500 yuan from us, forcing my whole family to eat bran and wild vegetables for more than half a year."
“She also receives a fixed amount of over 83 yuan directly from the finance department every month.”
“How could a woman in her sixties finish all that food? My husband hasn’t received his salary for six months, and this is only the first month he’s finally getting it. Judging from her expression, she’s trying to squeeze some out of him.”
"Let alone the large sums she occasionally takes from us, just over 83 yuan a month, she can take away a thousand yuan a year. I estimate she has a few thousand yuan in her hands now."
"You're all alone, without any younger relatives or family members around. How can she possibly spend all that money?"
"Aren't you afraid of being robbed in a run-down place like No. 7 Liuhuai Lane?"
Yanmei chimed in, "Oh dear, even I, an outsider, am angry to hear this. It's so shameless! All your hard work has been for nothing."
"That's right!"
"So Commander Su isn't going to do anything about it? What's the point of giving so much money to an old lady who's about to be buried? Is she going to take it with her to the coffin?"
"It just means you have a good temper..."
...
Inside the room.
Tang Guohong watched the two people pushing the cart out, a glint of greed flashing in her eyes.
Similarly, the skinny henchman next to him also had red eyes.
"Brother, did you hear that? They were talking about an elderly woman living alone?"
"...a huge sum of several thousand...No. 7 Liuhuai Lane...and an old lady."
"Brother, I know that alley. It's an old hutong, full of all sorts of people. It'll be easy to find someone there..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Brother, hiding like this isn't a solution. Brother Dao won't let us off the hook..."
"Next time, it won't be a hand that gets chopped off..."
After leaving the room and parting ways with Yanmei, Qin Xiangxiang glanced back thoughtfully at room 316.
The patient had already been to this ward once at the end of last year; this is the second time.
Qin Xiangxiang happened to run into them smoking in the stairwell last time and inadvertently learned that these people owed a lot of gambling debts and were hiding in the hospital, too afraid to go out.
The one lying on the bed had over twenty stitches when he was brought in; the wound was clearly cut with a knife.
This is a gang of desperados, and not very bright ones at that.
She refused to believe that with such a large bait hanging there, they wouldn't take the bait.
A home invasion robbery, followed by a murder to cover it up, is all too common.
