Chapter 435: Zhicheng’s Biological Father (II)

"Fat chance. There is not even a single penny in that house." Xu Yuanshu’s face was also not looking good. In the past, even though Han Yong had never treated her like his wife, he had never given her such a cold shoulder either. But now he was treating her like an enemy. Before, he still had some courtesy toward his in-laws, but now he was acting as if he wouldn’t be bothered by them even if they died. Xu Yuanshu was quite upset with his attitude.

When Mother Xu heard that there was no money, she turned panicked instantly. "How can this be done? If we don’t take those three thousand yuan out, then those local sharks will kill your brother!"

They had already come to their house and threatened them, saying that if they couldn’t raise the money, Brother Xu would lose his leg. How could her son survive without a leg? He wasn’t even married yet!

When Xu Yuanshu heard the cries of her mother, her face turned ugly. "What do you want me to do? And what is going on with Brother? I clearly arranged everything, and I know it better than anyone. We all took the big share and even saved fifty thousand yuan. How come it is all gone? How come we don’t even have enough money to help my brother?"

Xu Yuanshu was going mad. She had clearly arranged everything for her family; they did not have many expenses and relied on Han Yong to eat and drink. At the same time they saved most of the money that Han Yong’s company earned. Even if they went bankrupt, it was clear that they had so much money saved in their hands, so how come it was all gone all of a sudden?

Father Xu and Mother Xu turned silent when they heard Xu Yuanshu’s question. It was not that they did not want to answer, but they had no answer to this question. It was Brother Xu who took the money from them and said that he was going to start a business. That even if Han Yong was no longer supporting them, he could take care of them on his own.

Father Xu trusted and loved this son of his very much. What was more, he believed that his son was better than others. He had been following Han Yong for so many years; naturally, he must also know how to do business. After all, if Han Yong could do it, why could his son not? So he hurriedly took all the money out and gave it to Xu Jin.

But he never expected that Xu Jin’s luck would be so bad that he ended up losing all the money and the business that was supposed to rise ended up being lost as well. Now they had no money at home, and they could only rely on Han Yong to help them.

"Forget about these minor things." Father Xu knew that he could not tell the truth to his daughter; if he told her the truth, then she would only make even more fuss. He sighed and said to her coaxingly, "I told you that your brother has some ideas and that money is all tied up. Once the plan is implemented, we will be able to get the money back, but for now we need to think of a way to get the money to save your brother or else he will end up losing his leg. We cannot allow that to happen. Shushu, you are Ah Jin’s big sister; you cannot let him die!"

The loan sharks were really terrifying. If his son was not careful, then he would end up with a broken leg without even knowing who hurt him in the end.

Xu Yuanshu frowned hard. "But I have no idea where to get so much money from? I have sold everything that I can sell, and I have given you my entire savings. Where can I get more money from?"

"How about you talk with Officer Lu?" Mother Xia suggested from the sidelines, causing Xu Yuanshu’s face to turn pale.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can I meet with Officer Lu?"

"Why not? You have given birth to a son for him, and he promised you that he would help you whenever you needed it. How can he not take care of you? Zhicheng is his son as well, and it is his responsibility to raise him. All these years, we have never asked for a single penny from him. If not for the sacrifices you made, could he have married the daughter of that big official? Shushu, just go and meet with him. Tell him that he needs to take out the childcare money for all these years and have him pay at least ten...no, twenty thousand!"

"Zhicheng has been raised so well. Look at him; he is so big and chubby. How much money have we taken out to feed and raise him? How can Officer Lu not care about this? Just ask him to bring the money out."

Mother Xu’s eyes lit up when she thought of using the handle that she had been keeping to herself for all these years; her daughter had done many scandalous things, but she did one good thing. That was to sleep with Lu Wei and give birth to his son. If she was not wrong, Lu Wei’s current wife did not give birth to a child. As long as they grasped hold of Lu Wei’s weakness, then they could get the best of both worlds!

They could take Han Yong’s money as well as Lu Wei’s property.

"Mom, have you lost your mind?" Xu Yuanshu, however, did not agree. "Han Yong is not a fool; it’s already hard for me to hide the fact that Zhicheng is not his son. You have no idea, these days Han Yong has been paying attention to Zhicheng and the more he looks at him, the more worried I am. What if he finds out the truth?"

What was more, Lu Wei was not easy to control. If he were then, she would have taken hold of him long ago, but that man was like a slippery eel. How could she even deal with him?
