Bai Linglong could understand that there were many men with this kind of personality. In the eyes of outsiders, they were perfect husbands who could make money, had stable personalities and tempers, had pursuits and ambitions, and were career-oriented. People who didn't know the truth envied women who married such men, but only the women themselves knew the real feeling of life.
Although twenty years had passed, Bai Shuixian still felt an indescribable melancholy when she thought about this short marriage. Seeing that her daughter was silent after listening, she asked her softly, "Linglong, do you want to see him?"
"In no mood."
Bai Linglong shook her head without a second thought, her lips curled up. "From what you said before, he probably doesn't know I exist. He hasn't appeared in my life in the past eighteen years. I think he should have a new family and a new life now. I will just pretend that I don't have this father and won't bother him in the future. We, mother and daughter, will live our own simple lives."
"good."
Bai Shuixian smiled gently.
She also didn't want to see the people from the past again. She should have been a dead person in their hearts, and there was no need for them to meet again.
As for my daughter, there is no need for us to meet and recognize each other. It is better to be strangers and not interact with each other.
In addition, he must have gone abroad to develop his career, and may have settled there now. Even if he returned to China in the middle, he still has overseas experience, and recognizing him will not do his daughter any good.
"Mom, the household registration should be done soon. What are our plans next? Should we buy an apartment in Tancheng and settle down there?"
Once the money from the scumbag arrives, the mother and daughter won't have to worry about food and clothing in the short term, but the housing issue must be resolved. She has to arrange a house in advance so that her mother can move in immediately after being discharged from the hospital.
Bai Shuixian thought for a moment and said, "Linglong, let's not buy a house yet. Let's rent one. Maybe we'll leave Tancheng in the future."
"Going back to Grandpa's house?"
Bai Linglong felt that the disaster that befell her grandfather's family was not simple, but she did not dare to ask her for fear of bringing up her sad memories.
Bai Shuixian didn't answer this question immediately. A layer of mist appeared in her gentle eyes, and her voice was so soft that it trembled: "It's time to go back and see them, and pay tribute to them."
"mom."
Bai Linglong stepped forward and hugged her, offering her support. "Mom, don't dwell on the past for now. Focus on your health first. When you're better, tell me about Grandpa's family. I'm grown up now and can help you share the burden. No matter what you have to carry, I'll carry it with you."
Bai Shuixian choked and nodded, hot tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes, forcibly suppressing the heavy pain and hatred hidden deep in her heart.
Due to her emotional excitement, she soon became tired, and with Bai Linglong's comfort, she slowly fell asleep again.
Bai Linglong stayed by his side without leaving, and quietly took out the scumbag's fatal flaws account book from the storage space. Now that it has been confirmed that he is an enemy, he must die.
If Qin Dechun tries his best to protect him, then the Qin family will fall into the abyss with him.
She was pinching the weak point, while on the other side, the Qin family had already discovered that the basement was empty. Qin Dechun was so scared that he lost his soul and was now lying on the ground, unable to speak.
"how so?"
"Who sneaked into the basement and robbed the house?"
Zhao Yushu was also paralyzed with fear. She saw that there was not even a trace left in the basement, and the secret room behind the wall had been robbed clean, without even a footprint. She was so panicked that her whole body was shaking and trembling: "Was this stolen by a human or a ghost?"
"Did anyone come to our house this morning?" Qin Dechun finally found his voice.
Zhao Yushu's face was pale and she spoke in a panic, "You all went to work this morning, so Menglan and I went to the clinic on Heping Street to change her medicine and get an IV. Later, I learned that the Yang family had ruined Menglan's job, so I accompanied her to the workplace to complete the paperwork. It was already past midnight when we got home, and we didn't even have lunch before going back to our room to rest. We didn't open the door until you came back just now."
Everything in the basement was there last night, but now it's all gone. Someone must have sneaked in and emptied the house when no one was home in the morning.
However, moving so many things in broad daylight would definitely cause some noise, and the neighbors on both sides couldn't have failed to see it.
"Lao Qin, I'll go out and ask if there were any tractors or trucks driving in this morning. It's impossible to tow so many things away with a bicycle, and it's definitely not something that one or two people can do." Zhao Yusu got up in a panic.
"Okay, go ask, and don't let anything leak out."
Qin Dechun hadn't been so panicked in many years, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Only the couple and their two sons had ever entered this basement. Even their daughter-in-law and grandchildren had never set foot in it, and they had no idea what was inside.
But now it has been emptied...
In fact, the person he suspected was not an outsider, but his own family.
As for who has this ability, it is hard to say at the moment.
At this moment, the faces of everyone in the family flashed through his mind one by one, but he couldn't stop to confirm any one of them.
When Zhao Yushu came back in a panic, Qin Dechun had just gotten up from the ground. As soon as he saw her, he asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"No. I asked the grandson of the old Yan family next door. He was playing in the snow with the children in the yard all morning. He said that no one drove by this morning. Apart from the people from the Yang family who came this morning, no one has been to our house."
"No one has walked from the front, so it's hard to say what's behind."
Qin Dechun said this as he walked towards the backyard. There were people living outside the back door of the Qin family's house, but all the people living in this area were employees of government agencies. They all went to work during the day, and the elderly and children at home also stayed at home to warm themselves by the fire and rarely went out.
It snowed yesterday, but the temperature rose significantly today, so the snow melted over the day, and even if there were any traces in the backyard, they were washed away by the snow water.
Thinking that half his life savings in the basement had been emptied out, Qin Dechun was so angry that his heart ached. The only thing he was thankful for at this moment was that he was usually cautious and burned all the documents and materials that should not have been left behind, so the weak points were not stolen.
When the two sons of the Qin family came home from get off work, they were shocked to see that the basement had been emptied. They hurried to check their savings and collections, and found that nothing was lost. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of this incident, all the members of the Qin family were on edge, and the younger generations were also called in to be taught a lesson.
Qin Menglan is now living in her mother's house. She has no idea of the existence of the basement, nor does she know that her house has been ransacked. She is still looking forward to Bai Jianren coming to visit her.
Bai Jianren didn't think of her at all at this time. He was furious at home. The news that Liu Meng was arrested by the Public Security Bureau had just reached his ears, and he was questioning his subordinates about what happened.
