I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 420: Under Control

But there was nothing she could do, her son still needed her care, and he was her son, the heir to his bloodline.

Li Chengming didn’t say a word, just silently looked at Shao Hui.

Then, Shao Hui finally reacted. She guiltily averted her gaze and after a moment, with a trembling voice, she said, "Brother Chengming, no matter what, I have to keep my job."

Li Chengming closed his eyes and then slowly opened them. He sighed and said, "If the job is gone, it’s gone. Don’t we still have some savings with you? Even if I’m sentenced again, it won’t be to life, just a few years. When I get out, I won’t let you and our daughter suffer."

At this time, Shao Hui suddenly became silent. Perhaps she finally fully realized that if Li Bo didn’t relent, Li Chengming would go to prison and she would have a husband in prison, and Xiao Bao would have a father in prison, which would be a lifelong stain for Xiao Bao.

Her husband couldn’t be an ex-convict; her husband should be that talented hydraulic engineer.

Suddenly, Shao Hui stood up, her actions a bit frantic. Her hands hung by her sides and she said awkwardly, "It’s almost time, I should go back. Your mother is watching the child, and the child isn’t familiar with her, always crying..."

She needed to find a solution immediately. Li Chengming had to get out; otherwise, she would be completely ruined too. She didn’t want to live that kind of life.

She didn’t want her son’s future to be affected.

If there really was no other way, then she would have to cut ties with him.

If it really came to that, she would be forced into it, and really, nobody could blame her. The blame would fall solely on that wretched girl, Li Bo. It’s all her fault.

She shouldn’t have been born, shouldn’t have come into this world. If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened.

Li Chengming felt a deep sorrow in his heart and his voice choked up, "Go home, take good care of our son..."

Shao Hui nodded stiffly.

But Li Chengming didn’t see the complex expression that flickered in Shao Hui’s eyes for a moment...

...

Due to Liu Hong’s involvement, Li Bo’s willingness to forgive Li Chengming had greatly diminished.

Moreover, there was no sign of recovery in Li Bo’s leg.

But the person she wanted to punish was Shao Hui, not Li Chengming. What should she do?

Li Bo asked Qiao Qingyu about this, and even Qiao Qingyu had no better solution. In these times, this kind of blame-shifting was all too common. As long as Li Chengming took all the responsibility, saying all the deeds were his doing, even if the stick had Shao Hui’s fingerprints, it wouldn’t matter.

Qiao Qingyu could only comfort Li Bo, "You focus on recuperating now, cooperate with the doctors. We’ll fight for your follow-up medical expenses. The most crucial thing now is that you are able to stand up."

Li Bo nodded. She knew that only if she could stand on her own could she have a future; otherwise, all else was irrelevant. "All the household money is in Shao Hui’s hands, I don’t know how much there is, but I guess that woman won’t give up a dime..."

Qiao Qingyu told Li Bo not to worry about those things, the school would support her. As for Shao Hui, she wouldn’t have much say in the matter.

Thus, under the intervention of the school and the student union, Shao Hui produced 300 yuan. She wouldn’t take out a cent more, claiming that was all their family had left and that she was still relying on her parents to make ends meet.

The house they were living in was allotted to them, but had become personal property. Li Chengming had also spent money on it, so the house belonged to him.

But transferring the house to Li Bo would be pretty complicated.

Then Li Bo told both the Li family and the Shaos that if they wanted her to drop the charges and settle privately, they would have to agree to her conditions.

As for the conditions, they were simple.

She would cut off all ties with Li Chengming as a father and daughter. Li Chengming had raised her, and she should have paid child support, but since Li Chengming and Shao Hui had beaten her nearly to death, that debt was wiped clean.

She wanted the house.

If she wanted Li Chengming to come out unscathed and didn’t want to press charges against Shao Hui, then they had to give her the house, otherwise, all bets were off.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t know what the two families were thinking, but housing was short everywhere, even in Xichuan.

The house was the only property Shao Hui and Li Chengming had; how could they possibly hand it over to Li Bo?

That house was presumably reserved for their son.

Thus, this matter couldn’t likely be resolved anytime soon.

Especially Shao Hui, who had already come to the hospital several times to cause trouble.

But now, Li Bo wasn’t fighting alone.

There were many people willing to help her. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Whenever she needed, everyone was ready to lend a hand.

Qiao Qingyu took a day off especially on Saturday because He Xiuwen had arrived in Xichuan. His mission was successfully completed, and he had been given a week’s leave to visit his child.

He also had some matters to discuss with He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu.

It was regarding a food issue.

He hadn’t expected, on the day of his arrival, that Wu Hong and Liu Ge would also come.

Wu Hong came specifically to explain to Qiao Qingyu about taking Han Lishi and Han Liuya away.

Initially, he hadn’t thought it through until an elder from the Zhang Family explained the gravity of the situation, and then Wu Hong realized.

Neither He Xiuyu nor Qiao Qingyu were fools.

The base practically controlled everything within a hundred miles radius.

Qiao Qingyu and Han Lishi had been godparents, though they had stopped communicating later, so He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu had naturally known about these two for a long time.

Proactively explaining was better than waiting for He Xiuyu to bring it up.

And Liu Ge also said she missed her child, so she came with Wu Hong to the Tenghai Base in Xichuan. He Xiuyu went out to receive them. When Rongrong received the call, although she wasn’t desperately waiting, she was somewhat expectant.

Human nature is indeed complex, including Qiao Qingyu, no one had ever thought that He Xuerong would truly disown her mother.

In every child’s heart, their parents are naturally meant to be together; even if they had indeed separated, suddenly having such an opportunity, He Xuerong would surely not remain indifferent.

Especially since He Xiuwen was actually here, in He Xuerong’s heart, she felt that it was time for dad and mom to meet and talk.

Especially since Liu Ge wasn’t a harsh and cold person. Whatever kind of person she was, each time she saw He Xuerong, it was with genuine, tearful emotions.

That’s why He Xuerong reacted this way.

Seeing the eagerly waiting He Xuerong, He Xiuyu thought for a moment and decided to personally go to the gate of the base and bring these two people inside, and then they met in He Xiuyu’s house.

Awkward? Of course, it was very awkward.

And it was indeed very awkward.

At least, Liu Ge never expected that she would see He Xiuwen, especially under such circumstances...
