Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 161 Zhao Caihua is no good.
Zhao Caihua was intimidated by An Min's imposing manner. Her outstretched hand froze for a moment, and then she put on a shrewish face again.

"Call security? Who are you trying to scare! I'm telling you, this isn't over yet!"

She sat on the hospital bed, slapping her thigh and wailing, "Everyone come quick! These two scoundrels beat me up like this, and now they want to force me to my death! I can't live like this anymore..."

The other patients and their families in the ward were drawn by the sudden crying and fuss, and they all peeked out to look.

In an instant, all eyes were on Liang Yi and An Min.

An Min frowned even more deeply; she couldn't stand Zhao Caihua's behavior of distorting the truth.

"Zhao Caihua, stop pretending. Who hit you? You clearly fell down on your own, don't try to smear us."

"I'm smearing you?"

Zhao Caihua suddenly stood up from the bed and pointed at An Min's nose, cursing.

"You little bitch, you've got a sharp tongue. If it weren't for you, would I have fallen? You did it on purpose, trying to keep me here so you could tamper with things!"

Liang Yi stepped forward, blocking An Min's path, and looked at Zhao Caihua with icy eyes.

They wouldn't have bothered coming if the police hadn't insisted.

“Officer, as you can see, there was already a conflict between us and her.”

“Out of good intentions and trust in the police officers, we came here, but look at her attitude, she's just a scoundrel.”

Liang Yi and An Min made this trip to prevent the police from finding them.

To put it simply, they are indeed related to Zhao Caihua.

The staff members were simply advising reconciliation, not separation.

"You old lady, you're being so unreasonable! We're trying to help you contact your relatives, and this is how you treat them."

A young policeman standing to the side couldn't help but say something.

Zhao Caihua was speechless after being rebuked by the young policeman, then glared at him and started cursing him as well.

"What do you know, you brat who hasn't even grown his first hair yet! What good intentions do they have? It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken! If my son knew how they bullied me, he'd skin them alive!"

She cursed as she lunged to the ground, about to collapse, when An Min quickly grabbed Liang Yi and pulled him back half a step.

If you get extorted, you won't be able to explain yourself no matter how hard you try.

"In that case, we'll be leaving now, officer. She's extorted money from our family before, and we have nothing to do with her. We hope she won't call us again for this kind of thing."

After saying this, Anmin left.

The young man who had called Anmin and the others scratched his head sheepishly.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have called them.

Zhao Caihua was still cursing under her breath, and nobody wanted to talk to her anymore.

They realized that Zhao Caihua's current situation was entirely of her own making.

An Min and Liang Yi left the hospital and returned home. Now, it all depends on whether Li Hongmei can get evidence against Zhao Caihua.

What kind of business is this, reselling goods, especially counterfeit goods? It's a deadly scam.

At this moment, Li Hongmei was walking on the road in her hometown, asking around along the way.

Since Li Hongmei grew up, she has rarely returned to her hometown, so not many people here know her.

The afternoon sun shone through the branches and leaves of the trees, casting shadows on the dirt road.

Li Hongmei, carrying fruits and pastries she bought from town, saw an old woman sitting on a small stool by the roadside picking vegetables, so she quickly walked over.

"Auntie, I'd like to ask you about someone."

She placed the bag she was carrying on the stone table, a polite smile on her face. "Do you know Zhao Caihua? She's the one who married into our village not long ago, and then moved away."

The old woman looked up and sized her up, still breaking off the green beans in her hand.

"Zhao Caihua? You mean that shrew?"

She paused, then spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Of course I know him. He caused quite a stir in the village back then."

Li Hongmei's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted down to help pick vegetables: "Tell me about it, I'm from the side of her son's blind date. Her family asked me to come and ask about her family's past."

"You're her in-law? Then you've come to the right person."

The old lady pursed her lips, clearly harboring resentment towards Zhao Caihua.

“I’ve heard that she’s been doing something shady all these years, dealing in all sorts of dubious stuff. A few years ago, some people from other places came to the village to ask about her, saying that they bought her counterfeit goods and their families got sick and had to be hospitalized.”

Just then, the door to the neighboring courtyard creaked open, and an old man carrying a hoe came out.

"Third Aunt, what are you chatting about?"

He saw Li Hongmei and was taken aback: "This girl looks completely unfamiliar."

"She asked about Zhao Caihua, saying she was from Li Deyang's blind date's side."

The old woman raised her chin, gesturing for the man to speak.

“Zhu Zi, didn’t you go out with her man back then? Tell me about it.”

The old man, known as Pillar, put down his hoe, squatted down, and rolled a cigarette.

“Zhao Caihua, that woman is very ruthless. Years ago, she secretly sold fake seeds at the village entrance. Many people planted them and had no harvest. Later, her ex-husband had a fight with her and drank pesticide and left. She then packed her bedding and ran away.”

Li Hongmei paused, suppressing her excitement, and asked again, "Do you know who she was close to back then? Did she leave anything behind?"

Zhu Zi took a deep drag on his cigarette, squinting through the swirling smoke.

"It seems she's been getting close to that bachelor Erlaizi from the neighboring village. The two of them always secretly make transactions at night. As for the items... she left in a hurry, it seems she threw a box of junk into the old kiln at the west end of the village."

Li Hongmei thanked the two people, left the things she brought with the old lady and Zhuzi, and then walked towards the west end of the village.

The entrance to the old cave dwelling was half-hidden by weeds. She pushed aside the waist-high weeds, and a musty smell wafted out.

Shining the flashlight inside, I saw a faded wooden box piled up in the corner.

Upon opening it, I found it filled with yellowed ledgers and several crumpled receipts, with some words written crookedly on them, along with a few blurry names and dates.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind.

Li Hongmei turned around abruptly and saw an old man with a hunched back standing there with a cane, his eyes fixed on the box in her hand.

"You are... Hongmei?"

"I am your second grandfather."

Li Hongmei was stunned; the face was somewhat blurry in the depths of her memory.

When I went back to my hometown as a child, I remember there was indeed a taciturn second grandfather.

"Second Grandfather, what are you doing here?"

The old man coughed twice and pointed into the cave: "I secretly picked up this box back then. Zhao Caihua harmed someone back then, and I knew she would get into trouble sooner or later, so I kept this evidence on purpose."

She clutched what she was holding, somewhat wary.

"Would you be willing to give me these things?"

Second Grandfather nodded, took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here are the letters she made with Erlaizi. Take them all."

"I knew this day would come sooner or later."
