Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids! Chapter 189: Are You Dating?

An ihua shook her head vigorously, her tears blurring her vision, and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Qin, "I really have no choice but to ask for your help. I was wrong in the past, I was not good, but I have been punished and lost my job in the city. If it weren’t for Yongming helping and bringing back, I would still be trapped in that impoverished village.

To , he is my benefactor and the father of my daughter. I really have no way out, please help !"

"If you really wanted to save him, you should have urged him to turn back earlier. He brought this upon himself. Also, you probably don’t know that back then, the person who attacked my dad in the vegetable field was him. I haven’t even settled that account with him yet! Do you hope to leave now and pretend you never ca, or do you want to give a shove and send him to see King Yan sooner?"

An ihua t Lin Qin’s eyes that seed to be smiling yet not, and her heart sank to the bottom, watching helplessly as Lin Qin walked away from her.

"Ah!" An ihua cried loudly by the Nanxi, crying until her child started wailing before she stopped.

She was at a loss here, and after waiting for two days, there was still no response from Ma Cuihua, who had probably guessed the result.

Angrily, she cursed Lin Qin at ho for several days.

Liu Yongguo advised her not to be angry, but she wouldn’t listen, so he could only let her continue her tirade.

Amidst the chaos in the Liu family, Liu Yongming’s verdict finally ca down.

"What! The death penalty! How...how could the sentence be so severe?" Granny Liu stood up in shock, looking incredulously at Su Shengning before her.

At that mont, she only felt a coldness all over her body, and the pastries on the table lost their flavor.

Su Shengning reassured her, "Don’t be afraid, Granny. Only after our investigation did we find out that Liu Yongming had more than just conduct problems. The things you ntioned are minor issues. The most serious thing he committed was accepting bribes and money laundering on behalf of those above him, with amounts reaching fifty million.

In addition to that, he has two lives on his hands, and the evidence is conclusive."

Originally, Su Shengning didn’t have to co, but he was worried that the news of Liu Yongming’s verdict would burden the old lady’s heart, so he ca to explain in person.

By the side, Liu Ling cautiously asked, "Who did he kill?"

Su Shengning looked at Liu Ling’s clear eyes, hesitated, and finally decided to speak, "He killed a loan shark gang mber and Fang ixiang."

"Ah?" Granny Liu and Liu Ling were stunned.

The two glanced at each other, looked bewildered.

"No...it can’t be! I rember Fang ixiang just brought people to the Liu family to cause a commotion last month and only left after taking five hundred yuan from Liu Yongming." Granny Liu looked certain.

Su Shengning raised an eyebrow and asked, "Granny, how did you know Fang ixiang asked for five hundred yuan?"

"Wasn’t it Ma Cuihua! Fang ixiang took the money and had just left, while Ma Cuihua stood at her own door with her hands on her hips, cursing, calling Fang ixiang a shaless bitch and saying she was a lion’s mouth, claiming that five hundred yuan was blood money....."

"Hiss!" Granny Liu realized and covered her mouth in horror, "Could it really be blood money!"

Liu Ling just felt goosebumps all over her body and unconsciously leaned closer to Su Shengning, "Did Liu Yongming kill Fang ixiang for this? No matter what, they were still husband and wife!"

Su Shengning sighed softly, with a lingering gaze, "According to Liu Yongming’s confession, he killed Fang ixiang because her demands kept increasing. Initially, she asked for twenty a month, then forty in the second year, and in recent months, she kept coming up with various excuses to ask for money, with amounts rising from a hundred to five hundred.

If he didn’t give it to her, she would threaten him. He suspected Fang ixiang knew about his bribery and was also worried he couldn’t satisfy her demands. So he decided to take drastic action and killed her a week after she left the Liu family.

Moreover, the thod was extrely cruel. I won’t elaborate, for fear of giving you nightmares."

The room fell into an eerie silence, and no one spoke.

Su Shengning drank the last cup of tea and stood up, "Alright, I should be going now. Granny, Liu Yongming is a dangerous person with no moral bottom line. Consider it as getting rid of a nace for the people, you don’t need to carry any burden, let’s keep the Liu family’s matters to ourselves, there’s no need to tell anyone."

Granny Liu looked at him gratefully, "You’re a good child, thank you! Xiao Ling, see our guest out."

Liu Ling nodded and obediently followed Su Shengning out.

As soon as they stepped out of the house, they heard another commotion from across the street.

"You can’t leave!" Ma Cuihua’s sharp voice successfully stopped them in their tracks.

"Let go!" An ihua struggled hard, "I haven’t registered with Liu Yongming, the law doesn’t even recognize as part of your Liu family, and I haven’t taken any betrothal gifts from your Liu family. I want to leave, and you can’t stop !"

"Alright! I knew you weren’t a good one, just like Lin Qin and Fang ixiang! You won’t end well either!" Ma Cuihua yelled.

An ihua, furious, pushed hard, causing Ma Cuihua to stagger and sit down on the ground, where she started to wail.

An ihua’s face twisted with rage, and she spat viciously on the ground, "You old hag, I’m telling you, if it weren’t for Liu Yongming, Fang ixiang wouldn’t have died, that kind of murderer deserves to be executed!"

If the police departnt hadn’t publicly announced Liu Yongming’s various cris, she wouldn’t have known that the man she had been defending was a murderer. It’s bad enough that he was a murderer; the person he killed was once his companion in bed.

An ihua couldn’t imagine, if one day she blocked Liu Yongming’s way, if she would also be silently dispatched by him!

Especially since she was actually planning to force Liu Yongming to register with her, she just hadn’t had the chance to yet.

The thought of being potentially murdered at any mont made An ihua feel cold all over. She left all her past feelings behind.

The two won cursed each other in the yard for quite a while. Being a recently discharged patient, Ma Cuihua really couldn’t stop An ihua.

Liu Ling and Su Shengning snapped back to attention, turned around imdiately, and walked closely together out of the alley.

An ihua quickly caught up from behind, overtook them, and hurriedly left the alley.

The two of them just watched An ihua leave, completely forgetting to move.

Li San’s mother’s voice ca from behind them, "Oh Liu Ling! Is this your boyfriend? He’s quite handso! Where’s he from? How old is he? What does he do?"

Liu Ling snapped to, quickly dodging to the side, her pretty face flushed red as she smiled politely at Li San’s mother and urgently urged Su Shengning to leave.

Li San’s mother wasn’t giving up, shouting behind them, "Why are you running! Auntie won’t eat you! Tell what’s going on! If you don’t, I’ll ask myself!"

Liu Ling’s face turned visibly pale, "Oh no! That woman is a notorious gossip in our neighborhood, once she starts spreading it, it’s all over!"

She could ignore the dirty water Ma Cuihua poured, after all, Ma Cuihua’s reputation was already ruined, and nobody believed what she said.

But Li San’s mother was different, she had a large group of gossiping won, and no news could be kept once it reached their mouths, whether good or bad, they would spread it indiscriminately.
