Chapter 218: 218 Plundered Completely (Second Update)

The person surnamed Qian looked at the bracelet. It wasn’t the same one they had just looked at, so she must have switched it right under their noses. He still couldn’t figure out how she managed to do it.

They had been given the bracelet right in front of their eyes, and they had taken it with them. As soon as he returned, they would certainly deny it, and may even turn the tables on them.

Brilliant, truly brilliant.

"What, that damn girl switched it." Ma Donghua stopped crying, "I’m going to find her right now, I need to get an explanation from her."

"You took the bracelet, and now it’s been switched, do you think they will admit it? They might even demand an explanation from you?" the person surnamed Qian sneered.

Su Guisheng, listening to the person surnamed Qian, felt there was some truth to it, "Mr. Qian, we really don’t have any money with us. Can we pay you after a while, would that be okay?"

"I don’t believe that your family can’t come up with eight hundred. Either you leave your wife here and you go get the money, or you stay here, and she goes to get it." Without money today, they would not get past this.

"How about this, you come with us back home, and we will give you the money there." Ma Donghua’s heart wanted to weep, her money.

But the other side had a car, and now they were locked inside it. What could they do without money?

The person surnamed Qian, hearing Ma Donghua’s words, smiled and picked up a knife from the side, "See this? This thing doesn’t have eyes. Once we’re in the village, just hand over the money honestly. If you try any tricks, this eyeless thing may do something unpredictable."

Seeing the object in the other person’s hand, Ma Donghua was too scared to look.

These people were hooligans, outright robbers.

Su Guisheng was also afraid. What if they really hurt them, "Don’t worry, we will definitely get the money, we wouldn’t dare play tricks."

"As long as you’re honest, it’s just a matter of losing some money. But if you’re not, who knows what might happen," another person said coldly from the side.

"Yes, yes."

When the car reappeared in Lihua Village, it was already dark.

Every household had gone home to start preparing for dinner, and no one paid much attention to what was happening in Su Guisheng’s home.

Su Guisheng went back home to get money, naturally followed by the person surnamed Qian.

The second uncle had just finished bathing and saw Guisheng bring someone home, smiling, "Guisheng, do we have guests over?"

Su Guisheng didn’t answer but just led the person into the room.

The second uncle was puzzled. What was going on with Guisheng? He seemed odd. Just as he was about to check on what was happening, the person surnamed Qian shut the bedroom door.

Thinking Guisheng had something to discuss with the visitor, the second uncle said, "I’ll go cook. Where’s Donghua? Why didn’t she come back with you?"

Su Guisheng was about to speak when the tip of the knife pressed against Su Guisheng’s face, "You better be careful with your words."

The cold object touching Su Guisheng’s face made him fear that the other would harm him, and with weak legs, he called out to the outside, "I’ll be back in a bit, I’m discussing some business with the boss, don’t come in."

"Okay, then make more food. Invite your boss to eat with us."

The other person, satisfied with Su Guisheng’s response, kept the knife steady, "Tell me, where is the money?"

Shivering, Su Guisheng pointed to a small drawer in the wardrobe, "It’s all in the drawer."

"Give me the key."

Su Guisheng, not daring to disobey, obediently handed over the key, "Please leave me a little. I have two sons in school."

The person surnamed Qian paid him no attention, opened the drawer directly, and seeing a thick stack of money inside—at least ten thousand—he scoffed and shoved it all into his pocket without counting.

"Mr. Qian, could you please leave me some?" Su Guisheng wanted to cry. For the first time, he regretted not putting the money in the bank; it was all his life savings.

"I left you a few hundred," said the person surnamed Qian, stuffing the money into his pocket, the knife pressed against Su Guisheng’s back, "Let’s go."

Once the person surnamed Qian was in the car, they threw Ma Donghua off the vehicle. The car then sped away from the village, disappearing without a trace.

The second uncle, hearing the car’s sound, came out of the kitchen, "Guisheng, isn’t your friend staying for dinner?"

Su Guisheng, watching the receding car, burst into loud weeping, "Dad, hurry and call for help. Those people were robbers. They’ve taken all our money."

It was the money he and Donghua had saved over more than ten years, nearly ten thousand yuan. Now it was gone, all gone in an instant.

Upon hearing Guisheng’s words, Su Zongming was very confused, "Didn’t you say they were your friends? How could this happen?"

"Quick, call for help!" Ma Donghua nearly fainted when she heard her money was gone, all gone.

Su Zongming saw the state of the two and knew this was not going to be simple. Just as he was about to call for help, Su Guisheng stood up, "Forget it, no need to call anyone. What’s the point? So everyone can come over and laugh at us?"

Ma Donghua, disregarding everything, rushed into the room. Seeing only two hundred yuan left in the drawer, her body went limp and she sat on the ground, wailing inconsolably.

It was gone, all her money was gone.

The villagers were having their meals when they heard a commotion at Su Guisheng’s house, which sparked curiosity, "What’s happened to whom?"

"It seems to be at Guisheng’s place."

"Even when old Liang passed away, Guisheng and his wife didn’t cry as bitterly as this. What’s happened?"

"Let’s go and see."

Su Guisheng sat on the ground, motionless, with a vacant look in his eyes.

It was gone, nearly ten thousand yuan just vanished.

Su Zongming, knowing the situation, was not much better. So much money, gone just like that.

"I say, Guisheng, what’s happened to you all, what’s the matter?" Auntie San rushed over as soon as she could, shocked by the sight of Guisheng’s family.

What could this big trouble be?

Of course, Su Guisheng couldn’t let everyone know they were out of money. If people found out they were broke, who knows how they would be viewed.

Thinking of the money made his heart bleed, yet he couldn’t let it show. Standing up from the ground, he managed a bitter smile, "It’s nothing. It’s that damn girl Xiaofeng. She says we can divide the belongings, yes, but we must prove we mourned our parents first. Donghua and I just couldn’t contain ourselves and..."

Listening to Guisheng’s words, a twitch appeared at the corners of the villagers’ mouths.

Xiaofeng must have gone crazy to come up with such an idea. Then again, Guisheng and his wife did go a bit too far back then. They didn’t wear mourning clothes or even offer a stick of incense when old Liang passed away. That was indeed too much.

In doing this, it was clear Xiaofeng still held a grudge about the past. When you think about it, her demand didn’t seem unreasonable.

After consoling Guisheng’s family for a few words, everyone went back to their homes.

As soon as everyone left, Ma Donghua cried even louder. Her fate was so bitter; how could she have encountered such people, such a situation?

Hearing the crying, the villagers shook their heads, guessing that Guisheng’s couple must be desperate to get some money from Xiaofeng, sigh, such is the reality of people.

...

At night, He Ximei nudged Guaizi’s arm, "Something about this business at Guisheng’s, it doesn’t feel right. When I was feeding the pigs, I saw a car at his house. It stayed for a while and then left. Right after the car was gone, the crying started. What if something’s happened?"

Despite the frequent quarrels, after all, she was Guaizi’s sister-in-law and the only family to his only brother. If there were real trouble, she couldn’t ignore it.

"They’re grown-ups, what could possibly happen?" Guaizi didn’t think too much of it, "Probably just want the village to think they’re properly mourning for their parents. It’s been so many years, what good is crying now?"

"Xiaofeng too, coming up with such a scheme. After all, she was raised by her grandmother-in-law, so it’s understandable that she’s sentimental about her. Xiaofeng probably always remembered that Guisheng and his wife never wore mourning clothes for her grandparents," she added.

"Let them cry if they want. Always something with them," Guaizi didn’t know what else to say.

...

No sooner had the van entered the county town when they ran into some police officers.

Captain Hong glanced at the van with a stern face and said, "We’re on a case, get out of the vehicle."

Mr. Qian and his companions got out, their faces amiable, "Comrade, we are from the city’s culture company. Here are our work IDs. We’ve just come back from the countryside."

Captain Hong looked at their IDs carelessly, "We have received reports that there has been a group posing as workers from some unit in the countryside, specifically to rob households."

A feeling of dread hit Mr. Qian, "There’s such an incident? That’s truly despicable. We are legitimate employees, feel free to check us."

"Captain," a team member came from the van, "we found some tools in the vehicle, likely used for committing crimes, along with some cash and several work IDs."

Captain Hong took a look, hmm, these IDs sure looked official, clerks from certain units, directors from others. Such things could easily deceive the less wary citizens, each and every one, "Alright then, take them back for a thorough interrogation."

"Comrade, we really aren’t what you think, you are framing innocent people here," Mr. Qian and the others struggled desperately.

"Whether we have wrongly accused you, we will find out. Take them away." Dressing decently just to swindle money, the audacity of some people.
