"Grandma Zhang." Li Xiyue came to Grandma Zhang's house and shouted into the house.
It was already lunchtime. Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law were in the kitchen. Upon hearing this, they came out and said with a smile, "Yueyue, you're back just in time. We've made some progress on the house. Come in."
When Li Xiyue heard this, she quickly followed them into the main room.
Grandma Zhang's daughter-in-law Liu Chunmei stood up and pulled Li Xiyue to sit down. She said kindly, "Yueyue, my mother told me everything about you. Your father did something unkind. If your mother were still alive... Sigh, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Li Xiyue lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry again.
Grandma Zhang quickly clapped her hands and got down to business: "My daughter-in-law's family is planning to buy a house for my nephew's wedding. They are very satisfied with your house and plan to buy it."
"That's great, auntie. Would your family like to come over and take a look at the house?"
Liu Chunmei said: "When I gave birth to my first child, my parents came to thank your mother on my behalf. They also went to your house and had a general understanding of your house. Besides, they trusted me and let me make the decision to buy the house."
Grandma Zhang also said: "Yes, yes, no need to look at it anymore, you are going to the countryside tomorrow, let's get things done as soon as possible so that you can go to the countryside with peace of mind."
Li Xiyue was touched. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really cared about the original owner.
"Yueyue, how much do you plan to sell this house for?" Liu Chunmei asked.
Li Xiyue said: "My house is a very neat small courtyard house. The market price is about 2,000, but my aunt's family wants it, so I'll give it a discount, 1,880."
It's pretty good to be this much cheaper, but...
Liu Chunmei said awkwardly, "Yueyue, you must give me a real price, but my eldest brother also gave me a base price. I'm doing this for my mother's family, so I can't pay for it myself. My mother-in-law is still here. Do you think it's okay to sell it for 1,800 yuan?"
Her eldest brother said it couldn't be higher than 1,800 yuan. She couldn't afford to pay 80 yuan more, and she couldn't pay. She couldn't pay for things for her parents' home. Even if her mother-in-law didn't say anything, she couldn't do that.
"Or how about this? Just give me 1,800 yuan and we'll give you tickets worth around 200 yuan. You're going to the countryside soon, aren't you? It would be more convenient to carry some tickets with you."
Liu Chunmei was also thinking about her, she really needed the tickets more.
Li Xiyue agreed, "Okay, but can you give me some more nationally approved ones?"
"No problem. I'll go to my mother's house to get the money first, and then we'll get it done after lunch." Liu Chunmei is also a straightforward person.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Grandma Zhang said happily, "Yueyue, the meal is ready, let's eat at home."
Li Xiyue didn't want to go back and do it herself, so she agreed.
Next door, Li Bowen and Wang Huilan returned home from the hospital.
The brother and sister were seriously injured. Li Muqing suffered a concussion, and Li Mingliang was not much better. He had a broken rib and only woke up recently. The doctor said they had to be hospitalized for at least three days.
Li Bowen had to go to the factory in the afternoon, so after lunch he let Wang Huilan go to the hospital alone to take care of the child.
When she got home and found Li Xiyue was gone, Wang Huilan could no longer contain the anger she had been holding back all morning. She cursed, "What a cruel little bitch! She beat Qingqing and Liangzi like that! How could someone as vicious as her exist in the world? I wonder how that old man taught her to behave!"
"That old man deserves to be arrested. I think the little bitch should be arrested and shot too, to prevent her from harming my child."
"My poor Qingqing, a beautiful girl, was beaten beyond recognition. And Liangzi, I don't know if he will be left with any underlying health problems."
She went to the kitchen to cook while cursing. Li Bowen didn't respond to her at all. He unlocked the room and went into the room.
Wang Huilan didn't get a response, and she became even angrier. "Why do you have to bring her back? Even if she doesn't come back, the house will still be ours. You brought her back, and she started beating people up and demanding money, and you couldn't do anything about it. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
“Where’s the money?!”
Before Wang Huilan could finish her complaint, Li Bowen's deafening shout came from the house. Wang Huilan was cutting vegetables with a knife. She was so scared that she dropped the knife and quickly ran back into the house.
"Bowen, what's wrong?" Wang Huilan saw her husband standing at the head of the bed, stunned, and had a bad feeling.
Li Bowen pointed to the empty bedside compartment and said, "The money we saved is gone."
"What?" Wang Huilan looked hurriedly, and sure enough, the place where they kept their money was empty. Thinking of something, she quickly opened the mezzanine in the wardrobe and found that her hidden money was gone too. She immediately sat down on the ground.
"Which damn bastard stole this? He deserves a horrible death!"
"Report to the police, Bowen, report to the police immediately!"
As long as the thief is caught, the money can be recovered.
Li Bowen was about to leave when he stopped and thought, "Why report to the police? Can I see this money?"
Wang Huilan finally realized this and started crying, "What should I do? Should I just let it go?"
"Hey, what happened?" Li Xiyue came back from dinner next door and saw this scene. She pretended to be confused and asked.
Wang Huilan then remembered her and pointed at Li Xiyue and asked, "Did you steal our money?"
Li Bowen also stared at Li Xiyue. Yes, it was very likely that the eldest daughter stole the money.
"What money? Dad, didn't you say there was only 4,000 yuan in the family? Did you lie to me? Do we actually have money at home?" Li Xiyue asked back repeatedly.
Li Bowen had to deny it, "No, it was just some small change I saved for buying groceries. It disappeared when we came back. Yueyue, did you take it?"
"I went out not long after you left. I'm going to the countryside tomorrow. I'm going to buy things I need for the trip." Li Xiyue said while showing them the package in her hand.
