319 Hopeful
Liu Guisheng’s wife heard his words and quickly added, “I went to her house today. Sanfu wasn’t home.”
“That doesn’t mean sh*t!” Liu Guisheng immediately said. “Once he hears about this, he’ll come and fight me to the death when he comes back! He’s a beast, a complete mess!”
“It’s more than just Sanfu…” said Guisheng’s son. “There are so many people in that family. If they really beat us up, they wouldn’t even need to wait for Sanfu to come back. The others would definitely come for me.”
“W-what should we do?” his wife asked softly. “Should we just let it go? Do we just accept our fate? All the money…”
Of course, Liu Guisheng and the others were not willing to give up.
“So what if I’m not willing!” Liu Guisheng’s wife said unhappily. “We’ve already come this far! Where else can we go?!” After that, she sat aside and sulked.
Liu Guisheng still couldn’t hold back and started to talk about his mother again, “Mother, you had such a good opportunity until you screwed it up. Why couldn’t you control your temper? Look at us now! Dafu can be easily tricked. They’ll do whatever you say and even split it in half if you ask nicely. Now, they won’t even talk to us!”
Grandma Liu finally managed to calm her emotions down. She knew that she spoiled the big plan, but she still refused to admit it. “What’s wrong with my personality? It’s just money! I’ll get it back to you tomorrow even if I have to. Deal?”
Liu Guisheng and the others had already given up. They knew that they would definitely not be able to benefit from this. Things had already become like this and they almost accepted their fate. When they suddenly heard Grandma Liu’s words, they were filled with hope.
If she could get even a piece of silver, that would be more than enough! Money was money after all!
Guisheng’s son came over and smiled at him. “Grandma, thank you for giving us hope. You’re already so old. As long as you don’t hit them, they won’t dare to do anything to you. You’ll definitely be able to deny them as much as you can.”
Liu Guisheng couldn’t help but remind her, “Anyway, just don’t do anything rash. I’m afraid of that b*stard Sanfu. That b*stard has never lost a fight before. If you do anything, he may not do anything to you now, but he will definitely come back and settle the score with us later.”
“I know, I know. You guys are so annoying!” Grandma Liu was extremely impatient.
Liu Guisheng and his son suddenly felt that the possibility of them being able to cheat on their money didn’t seem to be very high.
…
After coming out of Liu Guisheng’s house, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed Liu Guixia out of the village and took a shortcut home.
Now that there were no adults around, Liu Guixia held Jiang Yue’s hand in case she fell. The small road was not as smooth as the main road.
Xue Yan was a big kid, so he didn’t let Liu Guixia hold his hand and followed beside her.
“Why did the both of you come alone?” Liu Guixia held Jiang Yue’s hand and walked back with Xue Yan. She asked her two precious children with a smile.
Because the road was narrow, Xue Yan could only walk behind them, not side by side.
“The family told us that you were here,” Jiang Yue replied. “They were planning to come, but Xue Sifu said that Xue Yan and I could handle it, so they didn’t come.”
As soon as she heard that it could be handled, Liu Guixia thought of the scene where she pressed her mother down and immediately couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re very smart. When did you learn how to use those silver needles? I thought it was real and so I pinned her down. Haha!”
