Chapter 17 The money is gone

Li Hui felt aggrieved by the questioning and explained: "It's like this. Your father has deposited the money for you on a regular basis. Now when you take it out, the interest will be gone. What a pity. What do you want the money for? My aunt's card still has it."

There are several thousand, so I will give you emergency response first..."

Su Man stood up so angry: "What's the use of a few thousand dollars?! I don't want the interest, I'll take it out now!"

She is too anxious now to speak properly.

Su Yuguo pressed the cigarette in his hand firmly into the ashtray, stood up and glared at Su Mansheng: "Why are you yelling at Auntie? She thinks about everything for you, don't be dissatisfied!"

Su Mansheng looked at Li Hui who was hanging his head and feeling aggrieved. He was about to cry but had no tears. He took a deep breath and said, "Dad, give me my money. I really need it urgently."

Su Yuguo said coldly: "That money will expire in two months. If I take it out now, I will lose thousands of dollars. I won't take it out!"

Su Mansheng felt his throat was sore and choked: "Give me the money Zhou Yanshi brought today first."

Li Hui's eyes were filled with worry: "Mansheng, please explain clearly what you are going to do with the money. Your father is not an unreasonable person, right? If you ask for money out of thin air like this, you must have an explanation."

"What do I need to say when I want my own money!" Su Mansheng was so excited that he became even more dizzy and felt like he would fall down in the next second.

The father and daughter are more stubborn than the other.

Su Yuguo: "If you don't make it clear today, you won't even get a penny!"

As time passed, Su Mansheng was afraid that Song Siqiao would wake up and not see her, so she could only tell the truth: "Xiao Qiao is hospitalized, and she is waiting for this money to save her life!"

"Song Siqiao?" Su Yuguo recited this familiar name on the tip of his tongue and immediately thought of this person.

Anger appeared on his face again: "Are you still in contact with her? I told you before that she is not a good person, she is just a wild girl, and now she is defrauding you of money? Are you stupid?"

Su Mansheng had already guessed that this would be the result, and the father and daughter looked at each other with red eyes.

Li Hui tried to smooth things over: "What are you Xiao Qiao? Man Sheng, don't be deceived. Your father is doing this for your own good..."

"It's none of your business, so don't meddle in other people's business!" Su Mansheng hated her coyness.

She knew that Su Yuguo had never been in the habit of saving money on a regular basis, and she knew whose idea it was without even thinking.

Her tears remained unfulfilled.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap exploded on Su Mansheng's face, and she felt that her face was instantly numb.

Li Hui held Su Yuguo's hand tightly: "What are you doing? Why did you hit her?"

Su Yuguo's chest heaved with anger: "How can you bear it when she talks to you like this? You are an elder, there is no need to spoil her like this!"

Li Hui's tears flowed: "What does it matter to me? Don't hurt the relationship between your father and daughter..."

Su Mansheng tightly covered his sore face, took a deep breath, and broke into Su Yuguo's bedroom.

She knew Su Yuguo's habit of putting things away.

After entering the house, she went straight to the closet and opened the drawer.

Sure enough, a few bundles of pink banknotes were inside.

Su Mansheng sneered and took a few stacks. As soon as he turned around, he felt something was wrong again.

Before Su Yuguo rushed in, she confirmed that the banknotes in the drawer were only 80,000.

Su Yuguo's eyes spit fire: "Lawless, who gave you such courage!"

As he spoke, he raised his palms high.

Su Mansheng looked at him coldly and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the other 40,000 yuan?"

Su Yuguo's hand was dragged by Li Hui, and he looked at the open drawer and then at the money in Su Mansheng's hand.

Then he immediately pushed her away, took out all the money and counted it carefully.

Including the four stacks in Su Mansheng's hand, there are eight stacks in total, which are clearly visible at a glance.

The 120,000 yuan was obviously put in in the morning, but now 40,000 yuan was missing out of thin air!

His first reaction was that Su Man was a thief and shouted to catch the thief.

But he realized that he was at home when he came back from the hotel. Su Mansheng never came back, so it couldn't be her.

If the house is robbed, it is impossible to leave some to him.

Both father and daughter set their sights on Li Hui.

Li Hui's face was hot and her voice was trembling: "I didn't take it..."

Su Mansheng didn't have time to spend time with them, but she was sure that the money was definitely not stolen.

She said "call the police" and ran away!

Su Yuguo cared about the missing 40,000 yuan and ignored Su Mansheng.

Su Mansheng rushed downstairs and when he got into the taxi to the hospital, he almost collapsed.

There was a sad smile on his face.

Sure enough, when it comes to money, everyone's true colors are revealed.

It seems that it is really not that easy to get the dowry and bride price.

She sighed, not thinking so much now.

——

When Song Siqiao woke up, Su Mansheng was sitting by the bed with his head hanging.

"Mansheng..." Her face was covered with injuries and it was very difficult for her to speak.

"You're awake!" When Su Mansheng saw her waking up, his eyes lit up and he approached her with red eyes: "How are you? Does it hurt?"

Song Siqiao struggled to force out a smile and shook her head.

"Don't be afraid. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong. We just need to recover for a few days." Su Mansheng did not dare to shed a single tear for fear of scaring Song Siqiao.

"My legs seem to be numb...did I saw them off..." Song Siqiao was still joking.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your fingernails are still there. It was a bump and it's just anesthesia. I'll call the nurse. You can lie down peacefully."

The doctor came to check on Song Siqiao's condition and said that her condition was stable after the operation. Su Mansheng felt relieved.

"Are you interrupting your date with your husband?" Song Siqiao had plasters on her hands and legs, and a bandage on her head, but she couldn't stop talking for a moment.

Su Mansheng had been busy all afternoon and almost forgot about Zhou Yanshi. After Song Siqiao said this, she remembered that the two of them had to go to "get the certificate" tomorrow.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The doctor said you need to rest more now and you are not allowed to talk!"

"Your face... why is it red and white at the same time? Could it be that... I scared you into coming to the hospital before you even finished putting on your makeup..." Song Siqiao wanted to raise her hand to touch Su Mansheng, but she held it gently.

Su Mansheng held back tears: "That's right, don't scare me next time."

Song Siqiao was in very low spirits and fell asleep again within a few minutes.

Su Mansheng then went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, he was right. His cheeks were pale and swollen at the same time. He looked funny.

She went to the nurse's desk to borrow a charger and charged up her long-dead mobile phone. As soon as she turned on the phone, several messages came flooding in.

Almost all are text message reminders for missed calls.

There were a few from Zhou Yanshi and a few from Su Yuguo.

She went out with her cell phone, cleared her throat and called Zhou Yanshi back.

"Why is the phone turned off?" Zhou Yanshi's voice could not tell whether he was unhappy or concerned.

"Well, I forgot to charge it outside. You bring out my marriage certificate tomorrow. I have to take a photo and send it to my parents."

Zhou Yanshi said "hmm": "What's wrong with the voice? Are you crying?"

Su Mansheng didn't know how Zhou Yanshi heard it, but the other party knew about her situation in just two sentences, and she was still moved: "No, just a little cold."

Zhou Yanshi did not ask further questions.

Her mental state was also very poor, and there was no color on her face. Now when Song Siqiao fell asleep, she lay beside the bed tiredly and watched over her.

"Su Mansheng."

She didn't know how long she had been lying down, but a soft voice sounded behind her.

She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yanshi blankly.
