Chapter 497 - The Huang Family Visits Mu Keer
Before embarking on this journey, The second son of the Huang family, got a picture of how 'Huang Li' should look presently, so he showed the picture to the middle-aged woman.
"Perhaps, do you know who she is?" He asked.
When the woman saw the familiar face, she recognized her instantly and said in a surprised gaze, "That's Qin Li, she worked in ***** hospital as a nurse and she had one child with her husband Mr. Qin, Jia Li, before their death."
Having found out the truth, the Huang family was a little emotional. Even though she was expecting this, Old Mrs. Huang could not control her tears.
The woman saw how emotional the woman was when talking about Jia Li's mother since she ca and guessed that there was a relationship between them, so she asked about it.
"If I may ask, who are you to the Qin family?"
"We don't know the Qin family directly but we are familiar with Qin Li. Please can you tell us how she died?" After giving a vague response, the second son went on to ask the question they have all been curious about.
Jia Li's neighbor looked a little lost with the sudden question. It's not like she didn't want to tell them the truth but because she felt it was not her place to talk about how they died.
"Qin Li and her husband Mr. Qin died in their house. I'm sorry but I can not tell you more than this." Jia Li's neighbor said with an apologetic smile.
Old Mrs. Huang did not co all this way to go back without full knowledge of what happened to her daughter and what caused her death. She was about to tell the woman that she was the mother of Qin Li and plead with her to tell them everything she knew about her but her daughter who was sitting beside her stopped her by tapping her palm.
The first daughter of the Huang family glanced at the woman before asking her, "Do you happen to have the contact of any mber of the Qin family. What of their daughter who you talked about?"
"Jia Li? I don't have her contact. She is now married and lives in the big city and I haven't seen her for close to 2 years now. But there is another mber of the Qin family, she is Mr. Qin's only sibling, Mu Keer and I happen to have her contact." The woman said with a smile.
The Huang family looked relieved as they imdiately asked her to ring her up.
After a few trials and the number remained unreachable, Jia Li's neighbor gave up to the disappointnt of the Huang family.
"It looks like she has changed her number again." The woman said with a smile that was not a smile. My Keer usually changes her number every ti she owes soone a big amount of money and can not pay up, so sotis, you cannot reach her because she might have changed her number again.
"Is there any other way we can reach her?" Old Mrs. Huang asked with a glint of hope in her eyes.
"Yes, I know her address and will give it to you." The woman said and imdiately brought out a book and a pen and began to write the address down.
Finally, when the address landed in their hands, they thanked her and left for Mu Keer's place.
Mu Keer was eating lon ???? seeds with her two children while watching a movie from the old Television in their untidy living room when the Huang family knocked on their door.
Mu Keer was irritated by the knocks and sent her son to open the door. A minute later, her son ca back to tell her that so rich-looking people were looking for her.
"Mum, so rich-looking people are at the door and one of them said they are looking for you."
Imdiately after Mu Keer heard that the first thing that ca to her mind was the identity of the people that ca to see her and how she was going to get so money from them.
"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Mu Keer asked imdiately in surprise. As her son nodded in response, she imdiately asked him and his sister to clear up the living room as fast as they could before going to welco the visitors.
There was no way Mu Keer recognized the 4 people standing in front of her door but according to their attire and jewelry, she could tell they were rich, so she smiled at them and asked them to co without confirming from them if they had actually co to see her.
She didn't introduce herself to them and neither did she ask for theirs before inviting them into her unmaintained house.
When she directly invited them into her house without the basic formalities, the first daughter and the second son of the Huang family exchanged glances, before following her in.
This was surely a bad impression no matter what was going to happen next.
When they ca into the cramped living room which was stuffy and still looked untidy no matter how the woman's young children tried to arrange it within a minute, they were uncomfortable and would have preferred to stand outside, but what they ca for was important, so they had to make do what they saw.
"Don't mind my house looking this way, we are poor and can not feed ourselves, so obviously we can not afford a good place." Mu Keer said with a smile.
"It's okay, we will manage." Old Mrs. Huang said as her daughter supported her to sit in the only good chair in the living room.
As for the man and woman who were too irritated to make do with the place she showed them to sit, preferred to stand. Their driver also preferred to stand.
After they had settled down, Mu Keer sent her children away, before fixing a smiling gaze on the Huang family.
Old Mrs. Huang chose to talk this ti around while gesturing with her hands. "I am Huang Li's mother and these are my children. We learned of her death and ca to seek answers."
"Huang Li?" Mu Keer said with a look of surprise, as she didn't seem to know who they were talking about.
Seeing that they didn't even know her sister-in-law's family na, they guessed that Huang Li must have hidden it from her.
"Qin Li's surna is, Huang, so her real na is Huang Li.." The second said in a clear tone.
