It could be said that the grand promise Qin Huairu painted for Sha Zhu was incredibly sweet and tempting.
But what was the use of that? A pie in the sky was, after all, just a pie in the sky.
Sha Zhu had already suffered quite a bit at Qin Huairu's hands.
Now, if Qin Huairu wanted to manipulate him again, it wouldn't be so easy.
No matter how Qin Huairu tempted him, Sha Zhu only admitted to a portion of his guilt.
As for the guilt belonging to Bang Geng, Sha Zhu did not conceal any of it.
Finding no recourse with Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu reluctantly approached Yi Zhonghai once more, steeling herself.
"Qin Huairu, you brainless, crazy woman?"
"At this point, you still have the audacity to come looking for me?"
Upon seeing Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai's composure shattered, and he felt an urge to strangle this piece of trash.
"Bang Geng openly slandered me, and you still want me to help him bear the responsibility?"
"Let me tell you the truth, not only will I not take responsibility for him this time!"
"I will also sue him for defamation, and I will make this brat's sentence even heavier!"
Qin Huairu's knees buckled, and she knelt before Yi Zhonghai, pleading desperately.
"Old Yi, please, I'm begging you."
"You are a magnanimous person, spare Bang Geng this once. Bang Geng has already promised verbally that he will provide for you in your old age!"
"Hmph!"
Yi Zhonghai responded with a cold laugh, "Qin Huairu, do you really think I'm an idiot?"
"I warn you, get out of here immediately, and stay as far away as possible. Don't let me see you again!"
"Old Yi, I'm begging you, I..."
"Slap!"
As Qin Huairu tried to say more, Yi Zhonghai directly reached out and slapped her hard.
The slap left five bright red finger marks on Qin Huairu's aged face.
This move by Yi Zhonghai completely silenced Qin Huairu.
"Damn it, you shameless wretch, get out of here now!"
Yi Zhonghai flew into a rage, kicked Qin Huairu a few times, and directly kicked her out of the house.
This shrew, Qin Huairu, was completely unaware of how explosive Yi Zhonghai's temper was.
Damn it, I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck.
Brought to ruin by that little beast Bang Geng, and now I'm left with a lifelong disability.
I wish I could personally skin and dismember that beast Bang Geng, and you still expect me to take the blame for him, my god!
It's no wonder Qin Huairu always lived in her own world.
In her world, she only ever considered her own interests, and the lives of others had nothing to do with her.
It was only right that she was beaten black and blue. It would be strange if Yi Zhonghai didn't teach her a harsh lesson.
Once upon a time, Yi Zhonghai had also considered having Bang Geng support him in his old age.
But after the pufferfish soup incident last time, Yi Zhonghai had finally come to his senses.
Relying on the Jia family's group of bloodsuckers to support him in his old age was less reliable than going to a nursing home.
In fact, Yi Zhonghai had already proposed divorcing Qin Huairu long ago.
It was always Qin Huairu who clung on and refused to divorce, for reasons that were obvious.
Qin Huairu never intended to live with Yi Zhonghai; she just wanted to use this marital relationship to seize the inheritance.
After this misunderstanding, Yi Zhonghai became even more determined to divorce Qin Huairu completely.
...
This case was much more complicated than the previous one.
It involved Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
Most importantly, both of them, almost in unison, shifted the primary responsibility to Bang Geng.
This made the investigation of the case quite complicated.
Unconsciously, a week passed.
On this day, Qin Huairu and Zhang Cuihua once again found themselves at Liu Kai Xuan's home.
This time, Qin Huairu was not there to spout nonsense but to present concrete evidence.
She directly took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Liu Kai Xuan.
"Liu Kai Xuan, don't you like money? I'll give you all this fifty yuan, just let our Bang Geng off the hook this time!"
Liu Kai Xuan frowned and sighed, "Alas, money is a good thing!"
"It's a pity that I can't take your money now!"
"Why?"
Qin Huairu asked in confusion, "This fifty yuan is enough for you to buy dozens of chickens!"
"We've already compensated you tenfold for your losses!"
"No matter what, Bang Geng is just a child!"
"It's not appropriate for you to hold a grudge against a child like this, is it?"
Liu Kai Xuan replied with a wry smile, "The problem is, this case has already been filed with the court!"
"Then withdraw the lawsuit..."
"Even if I withdraw it, I need a valid reason. I'm afraid that's not possible now!"
"So, please take this fifty yuan back!"
Zhang Cuihua indignantly retorted, "Liu Kai Xuan, you insidious scoundrel, are you trying to drive our Jia family to a dead end?"
"If you don't give our Jia family a way to live, I'll drag you down with me!"
Zhao Fei Yan angrily retorted, "Zhang Cuihua, I think you old hag has lived long enough!"
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of my man! Who gave you the courage?"
As she spoke, Zhao Fei Yan even signaled Liu Kai Xuan to directly deal with this shrew Zhang Cuihua.
However, Liu Kai Xuan appeared very "calm" this time and did not take action.
The reason was not complicated at all. A week ago, Liu Kai Xuan had already intended to deal a fatal blow to Zhang Cuihua.
If the time was calculated correctly, Zhang Cuihua's death was fast approaching.
Moreover, Liu Kai Xuan could already see that Zhang Cuihua had a large festering boil on her forehead.
Judging by the situation, Zhang Cuihua wouldn't last a few more days before kicking the bucket.
If Liu Kai Xuan were to beat her now, it would coincide with Zhang Cuihua's relapse of her serious illness.
At that time, this old shrew would surely try to extort Liu Kai Xuan.
Therefore, Liu Kai Xuan would absolutely not create trouble for himself at this moment.
"Zhao Fei Yan, if you have the guts, kill me!"
"Our Jia family can't live anymore anyway!"
"Even if I die, I'll make sure to splash some of your blood on you!"
"I'll beat you to death, you shrew!" Zhao Fei Yan, enraged, was about to teach the shrew Zhang Cuihua a lesson.
At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan decisively grabbed Zhao Fei Yan's wrist.
"Alright Fei Yan, don't be impulsive first!"
"I'll stay home and look after the children. You go to the neighborhood committee right away and ask Director Wang to come and handle this dispute."
"Constantly fighting like this is not a solution in the end."
"Uh..." Liu Kai Xuan's uncharacteristic actions today left Zhao Fei Yan dumbfounded.
