Chapter 14 – Rescuing the Black-Hearted (part 14)

“You are Tian Tian’s friend. You should know that with her pride and self-esteem, she won’t always accept your help. That’s why I came up with this compromise.” Forget about a 60 square metre apartment, he was even willing to give her a villa in Mo Du!

Bai Qing Qing bit her lip. She knew what Jiang Rui Qi said was true. “I’ll forget about it this time. But, you mustn’t lie to her next time. I know you are doing it for Tian Tian, but you should know about her pride. If she finds out that you are lying to her, she will be very sad. Lying is lying, even if you are doing it for her own good. You are so self-righteous. Don’t be like that anymore. Also, even if you want to lie to do something nice, don’t let Tian Tian find out. At the very least, someone must live in the apartment and everything needs to be accounted for.”

Jiang Rui Qi glanced at Bai Qing Qing and didn’t say anything.

Chen Tian Tian came out from the bank, happy. She noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. She looked at them hesitantly. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Qing Qing looked away. “It’s nothing. Are you done?”

“Yes. Qing Qing, look at this passbook!” Chen Tian Tian said excitedly. “This is great! I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. I was worried that the place would not be rented out!”

“Hehe, that’s because good people are rewarded. Tian Tian, since you are such a good person, God can’t bear to let you down,” Bai Qing Qing said with a smile.

Chen Tian Tian chuckled. “Really?”

“Really!” Bai Qing Qing said with a smile.

The two of them laughed.

Liu Zi Chao stretched out his arm and smacked Jiang Rui Qi. Jiang Rui Qi looked at him blankly. Liu Zi Chao whispered, “You have to remember what my Qing Qing said. Hurry up. There’s no guarantee that your Tian Tian won’t randomly want to go there and take a look.”

Originally, Jiang Rui Qi was a bit worried, but after Liu Zi Chao called her ‘your Tian Tian, he felt a lot better. ‘My Tian Tian… He liked it.

Li Su came back and didn’t tell anyone. When she arrived, she happened to see Bai Yun Shan and Wang Fang rummaging through the cabinets in her room.

Li Su squinted at them. Since she didn’t beat him for a few days, he had the audacity to do such a thing.

She put down her luggage and looked around the room. She picked up a rod and hit Bai Yun Shan’s back.

Bai Yun Shan wailed and turned to see Li Su. He was frightened. “You, you… why are you back?”

Wang Fang was also pale. The clothes she was holding in her hands had dropped to the floor. “Mum… Mum… Why did you come back so suddenly?”

“If I didn’t come back suddenly, how could I see such a good show?”

Wang Fang was scared and Bai Yun Shan took the opportunity to run.

“Say, why are you rummaging through the drawers?” Li Su sat down and drank from a cup of water.

Bai Yun Shan didn’t dare to speak and pushed Wang Fang to do so. Wang Fang was also afraid and was still trembling. “Mum, don’t misunderstand me. It’s like this. Yun Shan met his friends a few days ago and chatted about a profitable business. Si Ru has a good relationship with Yun Shan so he wanted them to invest together. Yun Shan thought it was a good idea and wanted to invest some money.”

“What kind of business makes money without losing money? Is there even such a thing? Let’s hear it,” Li Su said with a sneer.

“I don’t know the specifics. I only heard that the monthly interest is very high and needs to be paid on time every month. You take it as you go without restrictions. I discussed it with Yun Shan and thought it was reasonable, but his friend was rushing us. We were afraid that there wouldn’t be another opportunity in this village. Since this happened when you weren’t around, we just…” Wang Fang said softly.

“So you went rummaging through my room? You wanted to find a passbook?” Li Su sneered. “I took all of the passbooks and the money. There is only two thousand in the passbook. If you want the money, take it!”

“Where did the money go?” Bai Yun Shan asked. “Why is there only two thousand yuan left? Where is the rest of it?” While this old witch wasn’t home, Bai Yun Shan secretly checked the accounts with Wang Fang. The family’s deposits should have been more than 100,000 in the past 10 years. It was a lot of money. Did the old witch spend it all?

“Bought a place. I gave Qing Qing a loan to buy a place in the provincial capital,” said Li Su.

“Bought a place? Don’t we have a house? Why would you need to get a place in the provincial capital?! Also, Qing Qing is just a girl. She will marry in the future and become part of another family. Why is there a need to buy a house for her?!” Bai Yun Shan said with his neck raised.

“What about you? Do you think that we shouldn’t buy a place for Qing Qing?” Li Su asked Wang Fang.

“Mum, Yun Shan is right. Qing Qing is a girl. If you love her, then you can give her more for her dowry when she marries in the future. There’s no need to buy a place!” Wang Fang said carefully.

Li Su sneered. “You are a really good wife! Everything I’ve told you previously has gone in one ear and out the other. I told you that you could only count on Qing Qing, but you ignored me. Instead of fighting back against your trash husband, you accept everything like it is an imperial decree!”

The more Li Su said, the angrier she got. She stood up, grabbed the rod, and rushed over waving it. This time, even Wang Fang was not spared. “Let me tell you, I’m not dead yet. It is not your turn to call the shots in this family! It seems that I have been too kind to you recently, so you forgot!”

Bai Yun Shan was beaten and wanted to resist, but he was unsuccessful. He couldn’t hide even if he wanted to. When Wang Fang saw this, she felt very distressed and wanted to help him, but Li Su didn’t tolerate this any longer.

After hitting them for a while, Li Su grew tired. She then threw the rod to the side and sat on the stool. “Let me tell you, I’m not dead yet. It is not your turn to call the shots in this family!”

“You’re playing favourites! Why are you willing to spend money to get a place for that damn girl, but you don’t support me doing business?!” Bai Yun Shan cried weakly.

“The place will be a fixed asset and it won’t depreciate in the next ten years. I would buy a place if I had money. As for your business? Why don’t you think using the thing on your neck? If there was such a good thing in the world, then why did they go to you? Don’t they have relatives? Are you doing charity and caring for the disabled?” Li Su said.

Bai Yun Shan blinked. “Although I am stupid, but I can tell you are scolding me!”

“Tch, you heard that and you think you aren’t that stupid?” Li Su said disdainfully. “Originally, if you wanted to do some business or something honest, I could have given you money. But seeing your foolishness, what can you do? You spend all day long thinking about getting rich and all night thinking about a pie dropping from the sky. Hmph, I see. Are you waiting for the sky to fall and kill you? And you. I want to ask my in-laws how they raised a daughter like you. What era is it now? You still want to take your husband to heaven? Have you forgotten how he beat you back then? Why, I didn’t know you were so virtuous! If your husband wants to climb a wall, you will help get a ladder. If your husband wants to kill someone, will you help sharpen the knife?”

Wang Fang was pale. “No! Mum, I was wrong! Don’t be angry.” Wang Fang knew that Li Su was really angry this time. This was the first time Li Su had beaten Wang Fang in more than 10 years. No matter how angry Li Su was or how much she hit Bai Yun Shan, she had never touched Wang Fang. Wang Fang couldn’t bear the memory of being beaten by Yun Shan again.

“What about this month’s salary? Bring it here!” Li Su felt a headache coming. This was the first time she was mothering someone, but she still had a lot of work to do. Li Su had no patience to explain life to him. She had to suppress this with force, but the effect wasn’t so good now.

“Mum!” Wang Fang whispered.

“What about the money? How about your salary this month?” Li Su knew it wasn’t good.

“Yun Shan took it,” Wang Fang whispered.

Li Su slammed the table angrily. She walked to Bai Yun Shan with the rod and pointed it at him. “Where is the money?”

“I, I, I… I spent it on dinner!” Bai Yun Shan was generous when he spent money. He was scared now. He had spent nearly 5000 yuan a few days ago. How? He couldn’t remember much.

Li Su didn’t want to deal with this anymore and took the rod, shaking it fiercely. “Are you a pig?! Pigs are more useful than you! I was only away for a few days, and five thousand yuan is gone!”

“Ah, don’t hit me! Don’t hit me! If I have to take time off because I get hurt, then my salary will be deducted!” Bai Yun Shan begged for mercy as he hid.

“Mum, don’t hit him. Yun Shan knows what he did was wrong. He won’t dare to do it again,”
 Wang Fang said weakly.

“And you, do you have any brains?! He has always been stupid, but what about you? What did I tell you before I left? I allowed you to watch him carefully. When he was being stupid, you were supposed to keep him in line. Did you keep him in line?!” Li Su said angrily. “Isn’t it fine now? We don’t have one month’s salary. What should Qing Qing do about her living expenses? What should I do with the mortgage next month? You don’t have a heart. Qing Qing wants to attend school and has a part-time job. She is so tired that she can’t even eat a good meal and yet you think it’s fine to spend so much money in just a few days! You’re going to anger me to death!”

Afterwards, Li Su put down the rod and cried.

Bai Yun Shan was wondering why she did so when he saw a few people come over. His face darkened. So the old witch stopped beating them because she knew that someone was entering. How cunning.

Chen Tian Tian’s parents had come in. They heard that Li Su was back and wanted to ask her about the lodging situation. Although they did talk to their daughter on the phone, they were still worried and wanted to hear what Li Su had to say. There were also a few neighbours who rushed over when they heard the commotion.  When they saw Li Su crying, they came forward to comfort her and accused Bai Yun Shan and Wang Fang for being too much.

Bai Yun Shan and Wang Fang could only shrink into the corner and accept the accusations from everyone.
