“Who said you gave us 30,000? Where’s your proof?”
Grandmother was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped Zhu Dongmei’s face.
“This house is the proof. I mean, how could you suddenly have the money to renovate this house? Dare to bet that you were leeching off me and my family?”
Zhu Dongmei was extremely humiliated after being slapped in front of so many people.
She yelled hysterically, “So what if I did say it? Are you going to kill me?”
Zhu Dongmei looked like a madwoman, but she didn’t care about that much. They shouldn’t even think about making her return the money.
“Who instructed you to say that back then?” Ye Tianxin asked.
Among all the people, Ye Tianxin was the calmest.
Zhu Dongmei was choked. She thought about it for a while, then replied, “It’s a man with the surname Lu.”
“Lu Jijun?”
Although Ye Tianxin had vaguely guessed before that Lu Jijun was involved, coldness instantly spread through her heart when Zhu Dongmei confirmed it.
What was Lu Jijun’s purpose for doing such a thing?
“What did he tell you back then?”
Zhu Dongmei replied, “He told us both that if someone asks us if we know about Linlang, tell them she’s dead.”
“What else?” Xie Xuning asked.
“I don’t know. We just did what he said anyway. I don’t know much about other things.”
Ye Tianxin helped her grandmother. She couldn’t help thinking, if she was Xie Xuning , since she was already here, she wouldn’t stay quiet about such issues. She would ask their neighbors and other people who knew and interacted with Ye Linlang.
“Who gave you the ashes? Him too?”
“Yes, it was him. He paid us to repair the grave.”
Xie Xuning thought about it again. ‘I have been here several times… Three times…’
Zhu Dongmei replied directly. So many years had passed anyway, and nothing had happened to disrupt her peaceful life. Thus, this man definitely couldn’t force her to return the money.
Besides, she had no money and only had one life. Since a beggar would never go bankrupt, she didn’t care.
“Zhu Dongmei, God is always watching over you. You have done this despicable thing that destroys your conscience. Are you really not afraid of retribution?”
Grandmother was trembling in anger. Because of her greedy nephew and niece-in-law, Ye Tianxin’s whole life was ruined!
Ye Tianxin was afraid that her grandmother would have a fit, so she quickly stretched out her hand and gently stroked her grandmother’s chest.
“Grandmother, relax. Don’t stress yourself for this insignificant person. Even if they got it, they won’t make much money.”
If they were really afraid of retribution, why would they do such a thing?
Ye Tianxin’s words made Zhu Dongmei snort, and she said solemnly, “Who said we can’t make a fortune? Let me tell you, Ye Tianxin, don’t you know? We still have a house in Shenhai City, and it’s worth 10 million!”
Ye Guoliang and Shenhai City, these two keywords have been flashing in Ye Tianxin’s mind.
The problem was that she had lived in Shenhai City for so long, but she had never seen Ye Guoliang.
“I must say, Aunt Zhu, you shouldn’t bluff. If you had a house in Shenhai City, would you still be here living in this small stand? You would have gone to Shenhai City to be a wealthy madam long ago!”
Ye Tianxin mocked Zhu Dongmei unceremoniously. She knew that Zhu Dogmei would only talk when she lost her rationality. Only then she would reveal compromising information.
