But now, seeing Mr. Li sitting on the ground crying and complaining, everyone looked at Jiujiu first. Although Mr. Li was crying very miserably and talking very bleakly, compared to Jiujiu, who had been with those old men and women for half a year, everyone still felt that Mr. Li was lying.
A person could lie to you for a while, but they couldn't lie to you forever.
Especially Mr. Li. Although he was crying miserably, they had been with Jiujiu for half a year and had a more detailed understanding of Jiujiu's character. In their eyes, Jiujiu wasn't that kind of person at all.
Therefore, even though Mr. Li cried miserably and portrayed himself as a pitiful father, in reality, not many people really sympathized with him.
Moreover, after seeing Jiujiu, everyone felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Li.
After all, Jiujiu's kindness was obvious to all. What kind of person was Mr. Li to be able to force such a good daughter like Jiujiu into such a state? Different people had different opinions about Mr. Li.
After Jiujiu arrived, the people who had been surrounding Mr. Li left and made way for Jiujiu to walk up to Mr. Li.
Jiujiu lowered her head and looked at Mr. Li sitting on the ground. His face was red from crying. Coupled with his weather-beaten face, he really looked pitiful.
Jiujiu looked down at Mr. Li and said, "This is a public place. Let's talk outside."
Mr. Li just wanted to use this fallacy to force Jiujiu to agree to his request, but he saw that the old men and women who had surrounded him and listened to him complain about his unfilial daughter had dispersed in twos and threes.
There was no one around. Even if Mr. Li's mouth was rotten, no one would support him. Since crying was useless, Mr. Li could only follow Jiujiu with an ugly expression and walk out.
Jiujiu took Jiujiu to a restaurant outside the community and asked for a private room. After ordering a pot of tea, she looked at Mr. Li and asked, "What do you want?"
Ever since he saw Jiujiu today, Mr. Jiujiu felt that something was wrong. Especially now, when Jiujiu kept saying "you", Mr. Li felt even more uncertain. Now that he heard Jiujiu ask him what he wanted to do, Mr. Li immediately said, "I want you to remarry."
"Impossible."
Rather than asking her to remarry Liu Wu, it would be better to just kill her.
Hearing Jiujiu say that it was impossible, Mr. Li's expression turned sinister for a moment. His lips moved as he said, "Since you don't want to remarry, then give me a hundred thousand dollars."
In the end, Li Du's father returned to the topic of 100,000 yuan.
Jiujiu instantly understood.
It seemed that Mr. Li had come looking for her to ask for 100,000 yuan. Later on, Liu Wu had promised him 100,000 yuan, which was why he had persevered and wanted her to remarry Liu Wu. Now that he saw that there was no hope of her remarrying Liu Wu, he decided to ask for money directly.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and said, "Dad, this is the last time I'm calling you Dad. Can you tell me if you really treat me as your daughter?"
Jiujiu's sudden question stunned Mr. Li.
Mr. Li's expression did not change as he said confidently, "If I didn't treat you as my daughter, would I have raised you to this age?"
Mr. Li spoke up, and Li Zhe followed suit. "Sis, don't make Dad angry. Dad has always been worried about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to bring him all the way here to see you."
Jiujiu chuckled. "You know very well whether you're here to see me or to ask for the 100,000 yuan."
Jiujiu paused. She looked at Li Zhe and asked, "How did you get the 100,000 yuan in the end?"
Li Zhe replied, "I borrowed it from Dad."
"You borrowed it."
Since he was able to borrow the money, it meant that he did not need it urgently. It was obvious that when Mr. Li had spoken to Li Xin over the phone, he had obviously been tricking her.
Li Xin had gotten a divorce because of the 100,000 yuan and lost her life in the end. Even though Li Xin had lost her life, Mr. Li had received the 100,000 yuan without any burden. He was indeed a good father to Li Xin.
Jiujiu's words made Li Zhe's expression turn extremely ugly.
Although he could borrow money, he did not have to look at other people's expressions when borrowing money. Moreover, he had to save every penny for his wedding. Li Zhe's expression turned extremely ugly at the thought of having to bear so much debt when he got married in half a year's time.
When Mr. Li saw Jiujiu asking about Li Zhe's money, he thought that Jiujiu had come to her senses and wanted to give him the money. He immediately said, "Li Xin, Xiao Zhe still needs 100,000 yuan for his wedding. If you have the money on hand, give it to Xiao Zhe first. We'll return it to you when we have the money."
Mr. Li's matter-of-fact attitude made Jiujiu extremely unhappy. Jiujiu sneered. "I just got a divorce. Where would I get the money?"
Moreover, even if they were not divorced, 100,000 yuan was not a small amount. It was not something that could be taken out as and when she said so. Not to mention, she had just gotten a divorce and had a child to support. Mr. Li asked her to take out 100,000 yuan so casually. Did he not want her to live anymore?
Jiujiu's words angered Mr. Li. Mr. Li flew into a rage and slammed the table. His face was red as he said, "Why don't you have money? Liu Wu has a car and a house. You have a lot of money. How can you not even have 100,000 yuan? Do you not want to give it to Xiao Zhe?"
After saying this, Mr. Li began to complain.
"After your mother gave birth to Xiao Zhe, her health was not good. She was uneducated and only knew how to farm. I took care of the house alone. If the harvest was good, I could eat a good meal. If the harvest was bad, our family could only live on the northwest wind.
Li Xin, you can't be so heartless. If I hadn't lent you money to go to college, would you be where you are today? "
In response to Mr. Li's words, Jiujiu directly retorted, "Touch your conscience and tell me, do you really want me to go to college?"
Li Xin had been taught by her father to be foolishly filial since she was young. Even if she heard bad things, she would not think of them in a bad way. However, Jiujiu was not stupid. After going through Li Xin's memories, Jiujiu realized that her father had allowed her to go to college not because he was a good person, but because he heard Second Uncle Li say that girls could ask for more betrothal gifts after they went to college.
Mr. Li was originally afraid that he would not be able to find a good wife for Li Zhe because he was not capable. When he heard Second Uncle Li say that Li Xin could ask for more betrothal gifts after she went to college, he had the intention of supporting Li Xin's education.
After all, it was only 10,000 yuan a year in college. However, the betrothal gifts in the future would be hundreds of thousands.
This was a business that was guaranteed to make a profit.
Previously, Li Xin had been unable to raise her head in front of Mr. Li because he had lent her money to go to college. However, Jiujiu directly retorted, causing Mr. Li to lose face.
Sure enough, after Jiujiu retorted, Mr. Li's expression instantly became unnatural.
Mr. Li was angered to death by Jiujiu, but he could not refute. He could only learn from women and cry.
As soon as Mr. Li cried, Li Zhe began to incite, "Sister, look at how angry our father is. Hurry up and apologize."
Jiujiu sneered, "I didn't say anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"
