Zhou Yuni, though not well educated, had a knack for accounting and possessed an excellent mory when it ca to money. She asked Luo Zhiming to grab a pen and paper, and began to ticulously calculate the money Xu He had spent since eting Luo Zhiming up until getting pregnant and giving birth, including how much it had cost the Luo Family.
It wasn’t just big expenses being calculated; even minor ones such as clothes shopping were included. Xu He gritted her teeth in anger as she listened, unable to refute since she had indeed spent that money.
The total amount turned out to be significant. Additionally, Zhou Yuni didn’t forget to add the high-interest loan Luo Zhiming owed Shuanzi into the calculation, depleting most of the funds in Xu He’s bankbook.
Zhou Yuni was very satisfied with the figures she had arrived at. She handed them to Xu He, "Withdraw the money. After you pay, pick a day to go back with Zhiming and get a divorce. Whether you cheat or help others have and sell children, it’s no longer our Luo Family’s concern."
Though it was true that Xu He cheated and was involved in child trafficking, Zhou Yuni’s mocking tone made Xu He blush with sha and rage, and she yelled back, "Zhou Yuni, do you think everyone else is a fool? I’m not even starting on your ssy calculations, but what about the money Luo Zhiming owes Shuanzi? Have you paid him back?"
Zhou Yuni remained silent, just looking at Xu He dispassionately. She knew well that the debt hadn’t been paid. She had wondered why Shuanzi suddenly stopped demanding the money, only now realizing what was going on.
Her daughter-in-law had an affair with Shuanzi, hence the debt was forgiven. What could she say?
Seeing Zhou Yuni’s silence, Xu He tried to change the subject to avoid paying the money, "If it wasn’t for my diation, do you really think your Luo Family could have slipped past this?"
Xu He’s words gave Zhou Yuni a new angle to attack, and she sarcastically retorted, "Oh, stole a man and now here acting all ritorious. Should our Luo Family thank you for that?"
"You..." Xu He was left speechless, fuming and glaring at Zhou Yuni.
Zhou Yuni coldly smiled, too lazy to argue further. She bluntly said, "Xu He, let tell you, if you don’t pay today, don’t expect to walk out of this door. We might as well make a big deal out of this. I want to see if Xu He still has any face left."
Knowing she was backed into a corner, Xu He had to compromise, but still stubbornly retorted, "I don’t have any dignity, but how much better can your son be? He can’t even produce a son; he’s no good!"
"Is that so? Then where did Fang Xiu’s big son co from? That was verified in the hospital." Zhou Yuni spoke harshly, though secretly infuriated by Xu He’s slander against her son. She stepped forward and slapped Xu He several tis, shouting, "I’m saying it’s you, this shaless woman, who’s not blessed to bear Luo Family’s offspring. You’re only suited to bear children for those worthless n!"
"You..." Xu He wanted to retaliate, but then, seeing Luo Zhiming stand in the corner and rembering his previous threatening posture with a kitchen knife, she ultimately chose to endure it, yet she wasn’t willing to give in easily concerning the money, "There’s no way to get money from , only my life."
"Well, wait for that what’s-his-na Shuanzi to take your life then. I’m not in a hurry." Zhou Yuni smartly knew which threat to use to get hold of Xu He fatally.
Sure enough, Xu He imdiately caved in, "Fine, it’s only so money. I’ll pay it, let’s go withdraw it."
Reaching this point, Zhou Yuni certainly wouldn’t give Xu He any chance to escape. She triumphantly reached out her hand to Xu He, "Give your ID and password. I’ll withdraw it. Don’t worry, I won’t take more than due, whatever the amount is. I, Zhou Yuni, am a fair person."
Xu He, glaring at Zhou Yuni’s triumphant deanor, was seething with anger but knew that this outco was relatively good for her. Otherwise, once Shuanzi arrived, she feared she might lose both her money and her life.
Therefore, she did not dare to dawdle and imdiately handed over the bankbook and ID card to Zhou Yuni, urging her to quickly withdraw the money.
Because she had the bankbook and ID card, Zhou Yuni was not afraid that Xu He would run away, and she directly called Luo Zhiming to go out and withdraw the money together.
As for Xu He, Zhou Yuni let her be; it would be even better if she left, as the money was now Zhou Yuni’s.
Anyway, in Zhou Yuni’s view, having obtained so money from Xu He, she could do many things, such as arranging another marriage for Luo Zhiming. Whether they could have children didn’t matter; they could just spend more money and effort on Haohao. Today, she had already exhausted herself beating up Xu He - at least she had vented her frustration; this was as far as it could go.
Xu He watched Zhou Yuni and her son leave the house, finally letting out a faint sigh of relief. What happened today was like watching a movie; she was so frightened that she sweated profusely.
She really hadn’t expected all this to happen so flawlessly in her plans, and yet there was a loophole. Why could Luo Zhiyong guess that Luo Cuilan’s disappearance was related to her? She didn’t understand why Shuanzi had co to her to demand money back.
She really had not expected her luck to be so bad that the son she had finally given birth to would run into problems.
While Xu He was puzzled, the baby who had been sleeping on the bed seed to wake up and started crying.
Although Xu He previously had so affection for the child, with all that had happened, she wouldn’t bother with him anymore. She planned to take the remaining money and leave once Zhou Yuni brought back the cash, and they could deal with the child however they wished.
Therefore, even though the baby was crying fiercely on the bed, Xu He remained unmoved, still contemplating her own plans, like where she should go after leaving here.
Return to the countryside?
That definitely wouldn’t work. Since Shuanzi had co to collect the debt, probably everyone in the countryside already knew about her deeds, enough to anger her father to be hospitalized.
Back ho, although Xu He could face other people’s gossip, she couldn’t face her father’s scolding.
So where else could she go?
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside. Xu He was instinctively startled, fearing that Shuanzi might suddenly appear.
She looked up and saw that it was a woman from next door. The woman, pointing to the baby on her bed, looked at her with displeasure and said, "Luo Family’s daughter-in-law, your child is crying. Why don’t you check on him?"
Xu He was startled by the woman and beca very annoyed, shouting directly at her, "Get lost, it’s my child, not yours. Mind your own business."
The woman, shouted at by Xu He, dared not ddle anymore and left.
But imdiately after, the yard door sounded again. Xu He thought it was the woman turning back to ddle again, stood up angrily wanting to scold soone, but upon seeing the person outside the door, her heart tightened, and an unprecedented fear swept over her entire body.
