Chapter 83 Superstition
"Sister, don't worry about me, I'll figure something out myself!" Leo said as he got up and ran outside.
"Ao Ao!" By the time Li Qiao realized what was happening and went to chase after him, Li Ao's figure had already disappeared into the night.
Li Qiao was both anxious and angry, yet helpless. Her original plan was to help Tian Yutong rise to power and then find a way to get 200,000 yuan to pay off Li Ao's gambling debts. She had Tian Yutong's dark past in her hands; once Tian Yutong was in power, she wouldn't care too much about the 200,000 yuan.
Before Tian Yutong could gain Qin Yanlin's trust, Qin Yanlin's wife demanded money, and that amount was two million.
He specifically asked Tian Yutong to come and investigate, hoping to make some progress, but who knew that the fool Tian Yutong would actually displease Qin Yanlin. Since Tian Yutong couldn't gain Qin Yanlin's trust, her words wouldn't carry much weight, making it difficult for him to use her to make money.
Li Qiao was in a terrible predicament, and Tian Yutong was filled with worry.
In an effort to win back his child, Qin Yanlin made all the necessary arrangements and went home.
As soon as Wenjing saw him, she asked, "Did you get the money back?"
Wenxin and Wenyu both looked at him.
Qin Yanlin felt like he was being robbed by bandits, and his heart was filled with resentment: "It's clearly your mother who wants money, why are you all acting like I owe you money? You just take it, and with such sour faces! It's like you're going to eat me alive if I don't give you the money. Don't you realize that your mother's shop is gone now? If I don't give you money, where will you get it? You'll starve!"
But he didn't dare say it aloud, and could only awkwardly laugh and say, "Everything is ready, it will be transferred to your mother's account first thing tomorrow morning."
The three children all looked at Deng Xiuzhen after hearing this.
Deng Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Go to sleep, everyone."
"What do you need so much money for?" Qin Yanlin couldn't help but ask.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't answer; she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, and she didn't want to talk to Qin Yanlin at all.
Even now, she couldn't be sure if Qin Yanlin had been unfaithful, but any change in his attitude was wrong and intolerable. In her heart, this life should be one where the two of them were devoted to each other and grew old together, with neither of them having any wandering thoughts.
If he can't be devoted to her, she'd rather not have this man at all.
Since men can't be relied on, she'll rely on herself.
She remembered that in her previous life, housing prices would start to soar in the next few years, especially in Haicheng, Yuncheng and Kyoto. She didn't know the specifics, but a skyrocketing price was certain.
Moreover, the children are doing very well academically now, and there is a high probability that they will be admitted to universities in Kyoto in the future. She plans to buy two houses in Kyoto and several houses in Haicheng and Yuncheng, waiting for demolition and price increases.
But how do I buy it?
Currently, buying and selling a house doesn't require both spouses to be present or sign, and she can even buy it in her child's name, so that's not a problem. The real issue is figuring out an excuse to leave without anyone noticing.
Furthermore, if reconstruction is permitted in the alley, and the money is used to buy houses in Kyoto and Kumojo, what will be used for reconstruction?
The next morning, after the children went to school, Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin went to the bank together to wait for the money to arrive. Deng Xiuzhen got up and left, and Qin Yanlin felt embarrassed that Deng Xiuzhen ignored him. His face was ashen.
Watching Deng Xiuzhen's departing figure, and then looking at the awkward Qin Yanlin, Li Qiao was certain that Tian Yutong had no chance of taking the position.
Tian Yutong also felt hopeless about the future.
"President Qin, Accountant Li, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You go to the company first, I'll go buy some for you!" Tian Yutong said with a forced smile.
"Okay!" Qin Yanlin agreed and walked forward quickly, with Li Qiao following closely behind.
Tian Yutong went to buy breakfast.
Deng Xiuzhen did not go home, but went to the police station to find Tian Guoqiang. She wanted to ask about the progress of Yao Huaying's case and also inquire about Old Zhao's situation.
Old Zhao said he was going to Kyoto for a few days, but he never came back. The fire didn't reach Old Zhao's house, but she went to check on it and found that because the house had been uninhabited for so long, some parts showed signs of collapse.
If Old Man Zhao is in Kyoto, then she can go visit him and buy the courtyard there while she's at it.
Tian Guoqiang was delighted to see Deng Xiuzhen and warmly invited her to sit down, personally pouring her water.
The officer, Xiao Xu, was stunned by the obsequious manner. Their Director Tian was known for his impartiality, coldness, and ruthlessness, and was quite strict. Why was he being so warm and friendly today, even smiling like a fool?
He nudged He Xiaohai and gestured towards Tian Guoqiang with his lip.
He Xiaohai whispered, "Once you witness Sister Deng's amazing abilities, you'll be like that too, or even more..."
“What are you whispering about? Don’t you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, go train!” Tian Guoqiang said sternly.
Seeing He Xiaohai and the others leave, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Sister Deng, what brings you here today? Is there something new?" He especially liked it when Deng Xiuzhen came to see him; every time she did, he would discover something new.
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Has the matter of Yao Huaying been investigated thoroughly?"
Tian Guoqiang curled his lip and scoffed, saying, "I ran into a superstitious guy. There's no challenge."
Deng Xiuzhen didn't speak, she just looked at him.
“You told me you saw someone wearing red shoes the night before and the next day, so we brought Fang Tiancheng over.”
He lied and said that several people saw him that day, and some even saw him come out of his house.
The kid confessed everything.
Do you think his motive for killing someone is absurd?
He said that ever since he married Yao Huaying, nothing he has done has gone smoothly.
He blames his wife when he gets laid off, he blames his wife when his child gets sick, he blames his wife when he loses money gambling, and he blames his wife when he can't find a job!
He went to the street to find a fortune teller to tell his fortune. The fortune teller said that someone was bringing bad luck to him, and he immediately believed it, thinking that it was Yao Huaying who was bringing bad luck.
He went to the temple to find the monk and told him that he had been cursed by a jinx.
He wore red shoes, which the fake monk had made him buy to ward off evil spirits.
He also bought various ritual implements and performed rituals at home, but nothing changed.
He went home wanting to divorce Yao Huaying, but she refused and they fought every day. Whenever they fought, he would go out to gamble and drink.
He lost at cards, then drank, then went home and fought, then went back to drinking and playing cards, creating a vicious cycle. He increasingly saw Yao Huaying as his nemesis and a jinx.
That day, he lost money playing cards again, drank half a jin of liquor, and returned home drunk. He saw Yao Huaying leaning against the wall, her ear pressed against the wall, doing something unknown.
He looked just like a wild ghost.
He was annoyed by the sight and accidentally set the curtains on fire while flicking his cigarette ash.
Yao Huaying suddenly saw the fire and jumped up, shouting, "Fire! Quick, put out the fire!"
In a daze, he felt a demon rushing towards him from the fire, so he grabbed a stool and smashed it down.
With just one stool, Yao Huaying fell down, staring at him with wide eyes. He got scared and slammed the stool a few more times.
Seeing that the fire had grown too big, he climbed out of the back window and ran out into the alley.
