Hai Hua did not believe it. She took the ladder and decided to check the roof of the storeroom. Unexpectedly, she found the money there.

As soon as she climbed up, she realized that there was a dusty box on the beam. She held on to it carefully and brought it down, using an ax to break the small lock outside. When she opened it, she saw that it was filled with money.

There was more than 50 dollars inside. At a glance, it was definitely at least 100 dollars.

Hai Hua pursed her lips. She did not expect Old Madam Li to hide her money in such a special place. Ordinarily, no one would look up there.

It was only because she once found out that Sun Jian had hidden away some money in the ceiling. That was why she felt that Old Madam Li might have hidden the money in a similar spot.

Hai Hua took out 50 dollars, then put the remaining money back into the box and gave it to Zhao Hong.

“Take a look, this is 50 dollars. I haven’t touched the rest of the money and have put it back intact. Count it,” Hai Hua said in an upfront manner.

Zhao Hong had no idea how much money Old Madam Li had hidden in the box. Even if she counted the money, she would not know if there was any discrepancy. She believed in Hai Hua’s character. Although Hai Hua was unforgiving with her words, she was still a good person.

“Sister-in-law, I believe you. I’ll have to trouble you to pass the money to Li Gui for me. I still have to stay at home to take care of the two children and my crazy mother-in-law. I really can’t leave this place,” Zhao Hong said.

Hai Hua nodded. This was part of Sun Jian’s responsibility, so it was only right for them to do it.

When the time came, she would tell all the villagers that Sun Jian was the one who handled the matter with the Li family. This would let everyone know that Sun Jian was a magnanimous and helpful person who was willing to let bygones be bygones. That would have a positive effect on the election for the village chief next month.

“There’s one more thing, but I don’t know if you can help me with it…” Zhao Hong asked softly.

“What is it?” Hai Hua said.

“Sister-in-law, look at me. I don’t have any income, yet I have to support the whole family. I really can’t do it anymore. My husband and my two sons have also left this family because of my mother-in-law. I’m thinking of asking my mother-in-law’s second son to come back and visit my mother-in-law. I wonder if you will be able to contact him,” Zhao Hong pleaded.

This matter was not so easy to handle. Indeed, Li Xiong’s household register was still in their village. As long as Sun Jian called the police station, the police would definitely be able to find out Li Xiong’s contact information within a week.

However, Li Xiong had previously cut ties with Old Madam Li in front of the entire village. Why would Li Xiong want to come back now?

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you with this matter. You also know why Li Xiong cut off ties with your family back then. If you want me to ask him to come back now, aren’t you getting me into trouble? Besides, why don’t you ask your own husband to come back? What’s the deal with looking for Li Xiong,” Hai Hua said.

“Li Dong has gone to work in the county city and I don’t know how to contact him. I know this is a difficult issue, but no matter what, my mother-in-law is still Li Xiong’s biological mother. Sister-in-law Hai, please help me. Just contact him and ask him to come back quickly. You can leave the rest to me,” Zhao Hong said.

Hai Hua nodded reluctantly in agreement. When she returned to the village office, she told Sun Jian everything that had happened at the Li family house. They saw no urgency to send the money yet. They still had a meeting in the village tomorrow, and would only have time to go and send the money the day after.

Sun Jian telephoned the county city police station and sent a telegram to Li Xiong, asking him to return to the village to visit Old Madam Li as soon as possible after receiving the news.

After Li Xiong left the village, he did not go far and just lived in the city nearby. He and his wife, Sun Ying, worked hard to support their only son.

“Wife, it’s a message from the village saying that my mother is about to die. Should we go back?” Li Xiong said as he held the telegram.

Sun Ying said agitatedly, “What! Your mother is dead! Then we definitely have to go back! If you ask me, you shouldn’t have acted on impulse back then and insisted on cutting ties with her. The house is so big and it has been monopolized by your eldest brother’s family for so many years. It’s such a huge loss to us.”

“Isn’t that because she always bosses you around to do work? Back then, you were the one who said that you wanted to leave that house and cut ties with her. How did it become my fault now,” Li Xiong said unhappily.

At that time, Sun Ying told Li Xiong that her family had some money, and that her father said that as long as Li Xiong became the matrilocal son-in-law of the Sun family, he would find a job for Li Xiong in the city.

What kind of future did he have in the village? He could only go to the fields every day to earn work points and even then, he would not be able to earn much money in a year. It was different in the city. There was a possibility that he could earn at least 100 dollars a month!
