Seeing Wen Qian cooperate with him to make up the lie, Xue Hailin breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and the panic in the eyes of the two elders of the Xue family also subsided.
Xue Weimin also came down from upstairs. He looked deeply at Wen Qian and said to Old Lady Xue, "Grandma, didn't we already discuss this? Uncle Xiang Ping's death is indeed related to our family. We should compensate them and their son."
"I'm not refusing to pay, but she asked for a house, and a house in Kyoto. She treats houses as cabbages that can be had whenever she wants. She asked for a huge amount and blackmailed us. I won't tolerate her habit of blackmailing people." Old Lady Xue threw away the feather duster as she spoke.
"I just want a house in Kyoto. My husband is dead, and we don't even have a place to live in our hometown. You and your whole family live in this big house, so why should we go out and rent a house and wander around? You must give me a house and give me 2,000 yuan."
The things the Xue family discussed before did not avoid the mother and son. Wen Qian was very smart. Now that the people above were going to take action against the Xue family, they would be in trouble sooner or later.
She had previously thought of leaving her son in the Xue family to be raised and educated, hoping that he would become successful in the future, but she no longer thinks so.
Once Xue Hailin and his brothers fall, if her son stays in the Xue family, he will probably not even have food to eat and will be bullied by others. He will definitely live a miserable life.
In addition, the neighbors standing at the door are all powerful and influential people. They are all very shrewd. The lie told tonight may fool them temporarily, but not forever. They will definitely investigate carefully later.
When they find out her true relationship with Xue Hailin and she is charged with adultery, she will definitely die.
Even if the national law does not sentence her to death, the Xue family will not let her go.
Only if she and her son die can Xue Hailin's reputation be preserved.
So, she had to leave the Xue family, take her son away from here quickly, take the money and leave quickly, and then find a place where no one knew her to hide.
In fact, she didn't want the house in Kyoto at all. Xue Haihui and Xue Weimin were both developing in Kyoto. Kyoto was their territory. If they, mother and son, went to Kyoto to settle down, it would be like walking into a trap. She asked for the house in Kyoto purely as part of her acting.
"Whenever you prepare the money and the house, my mother and I will leave."
Wen Qian was afraid that if she continued talking, she would be exposed. She used all her strength to stand up, protected her son in front of her, endured the severe pain in her body, and carried him to the bedroom with the door open next to her.
Seeing that Wen Qian was so smart at the critical moment, Mrs. Xue finally understood why her son was attracted to her.
She exchanged a subtle glance with the old man, still pretending to be dissatisfied, and said loudly, "Why did Xiang Ping marry such a shameless wife?"
"When Xiang Ping died, we gave her quite a bit of compensation. Over the years, you've repeatedly told Hailin and the other four siblings to provide her with more financial support. We've never deprived her of food, drink, or other necessities. We even bought her a house and helped her with her children's schooling. Now, you've only managed to whet her appetite."
"Alas, she became a widow at a young age, her parents-in-law are gone, and her entire family is sick and burdened. It is not easy to raise a child alone. The money and house she asked for are too much, and we can't give them. But we will try to give as much as possible, and I think Xiang Ping can rest in peace in the underworld."
The two old guys worked together to resolve the matter. Wen Qian, who was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, was now in tears, and she didn't know whether she was afraid or regretful.
Xue Kai was also crying with his mouth pouting: "Mom."
"Xiao Kai, don't cry."
Wen Qian wiped her tears, held her son in her arms, and whispered to him, "Xiao Kai, Mommy will take you away from here. Let's find a place to hide so they won't find us again."
"Mom, let's go now. I don't want to stay here."
Xue Kai was very scared. Peng Yuni beat his mother in front of him yesterday. He was terrified at the time, and the scene of his mother being beaten was deeply engraved in his mind.
"There are a lot of people outside. We can't leave now. Let's wait until they are not home."
Wen Qian knew that many people were watching the Xue family, and she would definitely be caught if she left in the middle of the night. Moreover, she was in pain all over her body, and she would probably be caught before she could walk far.
The bedroom door was not closed. As she listened to the Xue family persuade the neighbors to leave, she immediately said to her son, "Xiao Kai, don't make a sound when Mommy talks to them later."
"Okay." Xue Kai nodded in response.
After the neighbors left, Old Lady Xue came over with a sullen face and started scolding, "Don't think that just because you just cooperated, you can show off your power in this house."
"I'm not trying to show off here. I just want money."
Wen Qian's attitude was more resolute than ever before. When she looked at Xue Hailin, her eyes were a little panicked, but also firm: "I don't want the house. Give me three thousand yuan, and my mother and I will never appear in front of you again."
"You can go, but you can't take the child with you." Old Mrs. Xue blurted out.
Wen Qian hugged her son tightly and asked calmly, "You kept my son by your side. Are you sending your son to die?"
Old Mrs. Xue choked.
"If you want a grandson and want to send your son to die, I agree." Wen Qian's voice was hoarse, but the words she spoke were clear.
"We'll arrange a place for you to stay." Old Mrs. Xue took a step back.
Wen Qian twitched her lips as she listened, her gaze shifting to the brothers Xue Weimin and Xue Weiqi. She said to the old woman, "Before you make this decision, take a look at the expressions of your two grandsons behind you."
Old Mrs. Xue's expression changed and she turned her head to look at her two eldest grandsons, who were looking at her with angry expressions.
"Grandma, since you like him so much, please keep him and we'll just go." Xue Weiqi's temper was far worse than his elder brother's. After saying that, he pulled his elder brother away.
"Weimin, Weiqi, I didn't mean that."
Mrs. Xue hurried out to explain. Old Man Xue was so angry that he almost died. He grabbed her and scolded her with a cold brow: "Can you shut up? Don't you think the family is in chaos enough now? Do you have to make the boss die before you are satisfied?"
"I didn't..."
Old Mrs. Xue habitually yelled back.
Xue Hailin suddenly lost his temper, swept everything off the nearby cabinet and onto the floor, then growled coldly, "Mom, shut up!"
He got angry, and Old Lady Xue finally shut up and became quiet.
"Dad, take Mom back to her room."
Xue Hailin rubbed his aching temples and felt a little shaky. He leaned against the cabinet to steady himself.
