"What are you saying! Xiao Chu is still in school, she's not in a hurry."

Regarding Xia Yichu's marriage, Grandma Xia knew that the Xia family, including her own son, had no right to say anything. She only hoped that Xiao Chu would meet good men in the future and live a peaceful and happy life; nothing else mattered.

"Yes, Xiao Chu, we're not in a hurry. Studying is important. If you need anything in the future, you can ask your uncle."

Xia Yichu talked to them about her life without any particular thoughts. She had never thought about marriage in this life; she only wanted her uncle and the others, as well as those who had been implicated by her in her past life, to no longer be harmed because of her.

She still wants to earn lots and lots of money, then take her two aunts on trips, and let everything else take its course. Besides, she's waiting for Xu Shaoyang to introduce her to celebrities and all sorts of male models.

"Uncle, I'm not in a hurry."

"When it comes to marriage, you need to consider the other person's family background. Don't just date anyone. I'll have your uncle introduce you to someone, a local businessman from Kyoto. You're a good catch, those..."

Grandma Xia looked down on her daughter ever since Luo Hao's business grew. She was not only vain but also somewhat disdainful of people, especially those from other places.

"Guofang, shut up! Xiaochu, don't listen to your aunt. What matters most is what you like."

"Mom, I didn't say anything wrong. What's the use of liking someone? You can't put food on the table. Xiaoqian is a man, so it's acceptable if he marries a woman from a poor family. But for us women, it's better not to marry someone who isn't well-off."

Grandma Xia was itching to hit someone again, while Xia Yichu was starting to look at Xia Guofang with new respect. Just as Grandma Xia was about to scold her daughter again, the door opened, and Xu Yumei walked in dejectedly.

She only managed to pull herself together when she realized someone was watching her. She had gone to the rental apartment to look for her son, but he hadn't returned; the neighbors said they hadn't seen him.

She went to the casino again, wondering if her son hadn't changed his ways and had secretly gone gambling again. After searching for a while, she ran into Brother Hao, who also said her son hadn't gone.

"Madam, sir, I'm home."

"You went to the hospital to get your medicine, where is it?"

Xia Guofang saw her return empty-handed and asked curiously.

"My stomach doesn't seem to hurt anymore, so I didn't go to the hospital to get medicine."

"Sister Mei, come here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Luo Hao's serious expression and knowing that Luo Yuekai was not around, Xu Yumei walked over anxiously.

"teacher"

She stood cautiously by the sofa, and when she saw Xia Zhiheng there, she dared not look around.

"Have a seat."

"No need, sir, I can stand."

Seeing that she was unwilling to sit, Luo Hao didn't try to persuade her to sit. Instead, he said, "Sister Mei, you've worked hard all these years."

"It's not hard work. My wife and husband treat me very well. I don't find working here hard at all."

Xu Yumei said impatiently that she had a bad feeling.

"Here's the thing, my two children are getting older, and I'd like to find a young, educated person so that I can teach them if they don't understand something. So, Sister Mei, I'll pay you this month's salary in a bit."

It's not yet confirmed whether Liu Yaohui stole the things from the house. Luo Hao is a businessman who values ​​harmony. He's been relatively polite to Xu Yumei, avoiding a complete falling out, and trying to speak to her in a pleasant manner.

"teacher"

Xu Yumei's face was pale, and tears streamed down her face in distress; this time, she was truly crying. She knew in her heart that the Luo family no longer wanted her and wanted to drive her away.

"Let me finish speaking. You can stay at home tonight and leave tomorrow."

Luo Hao felt he had done more than enough for her, even knowing that Xu Yumei had lied to him a lot in the past. She still owed him money, and not only did he not kick her out late at night, he even paid her wages.

"Sir, Madam, I beg you, please let me stay. I can take a pay cut; I don't need that much salary."

"Sister Mei, let's part ways amicably."

Luo Hao was a little angry. How could Xu Yumei not understand human language?

"This is so sudden, and I have nowhere to go. Please, please let me continue working. I can study while I work."

"No need, I've already found someone. Please leave my house tomorrow morning."

Luo Hao's tone became increasingly impatient, and Xu Yumei could tell from it.

"Sir, time is too tight. Could you move in a few days? I have nowhere to go."

Xu Yumei thought that as long as she could stay for a few days, or even just one day, she would be willing. She could coax Luo Yuekai into pleading for her.

"Sister Mei, you're renting my house for your son, so you can move there first. You can look for a job later. Jobs aren't hard to find these days, and with your excellent cooking skills, you can easily find work."

Xia Guofang didn't mean anything by it; she said it for Xu Yumei's sake.

Luo Hao was surprised that Xia Guofang had rented the house to Liu Yaohui. He said, "Sister Mei, we won't rent the house to you anymore. Find some time to go look at houses again tomorrow, and move out as soon as you find a new one."

Luo Hao's idea was to keep his youngest son away from Xu Yumei, preferably never to see her again, to avoid any further trouble.

Xu Yumei glared resentfully at Xia Guofang, Grandma Xia, and Xia Yichu. It was all their fault; if it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been kicked out by Luo Hao. Then, without a word, she prepared to leave.

"Aunt Mei, Liu Yaohui was taken away by the police for investigation this afternoon."

Xia Zhiheng noticed the way Xu Yumei looked at Xia Yichu and the others. Worried that Xu Yumei might do something irrational, he decided to tell her about Liu Yaohui.

To keep her from thinking about anything else, even if I don't tell her today, she'll find out tomorrow; the police will notify her.

"What? How could they kidnap Xiaohui? What did you do to him?" Xu Yumei asked Xia Zhiheng, her voice filled with agitation and anger.

"Some people said that Liu Yaohui lost a lot of money gambling, and the police suspected that he stole things from my aunt's house. He had the opportunity and the motive, so the police took him back to the station for investigation."

But don't worry, if he didn't do it, he'll be released tomorrow. The police won't wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a guilty person go free.

After hearing these words, Xu Yumei ran away in a hurry. Her son had stolen the things, how could she feel at ease? She had to go to the police station to find out the truth.

"Xiao Heng, your aunt's things were really stolen by Xu Yumei's son."

"It's possible. I heard he lost tens of thousands at the casino and borrowed money from loan sharks. He paid back the loan in full this afternoon. His family probably doesn't have that much money."

Besides stealing, he couldn't think of any other way Liu Yaohui could get the money to pay off his loan sharks. Xia Yichu was incredibly audacious; last night she said she'd run into them on the street outside the casino discussing Liu Yaohui's debts, and this afternoon she dared to follow them.

It wasn't until the mother and son went to the casino to repay the money that they came to the police station to talk to him about this matter. Xia Zhiheng then asked around about Liu Yaohui, and sure enough, it was just as Xia Yichu had said. Only then did he have someone take Liu Yaohui away for investigation.

"Guofang, quickly help Xu Yumei pack her things. Don't let her into the house when she comes back; make her leave as soon as possible."

Xia Zhiheng arrived home before he could tell Luo Hao about Liu Yaohui's gambling. Now that Luo Hao knows, he just wants Xu Yumei to get far away from him.

Xu Yumei only knew that Luo Hao used people in the business world to warn the two of them not to gamble. She didn't know that the reason Luo Hao hated gamblers was because of his family.

Before he got married, he earned money and gave it to his mother. Instead of his parents spending it, his older brother gambled it all away. Ironically, his older brother even bragged about it in front of him.

"Zhiheng, let Xiaokai and Xiaochuan go home with you later. It just so happens that he doesn't have to go to school these few days."

The youngest son said he wants to be a policeman when he grows up. He admires his cousin Xia Zhiheng very much, listens to him, and likes to be with him and listen to his stories.

"it is good"

Xia Zhiheng agreed, knowing that his uncle was dealing with Xu Yumei's matter and didn't want his two sons to know.
