Su Yu Cheng nodded and then hurriedly slipped under the bed while Madam Chu made the room look like no one was living there, only then did she get up from the floor and walked to the window with her shoe in hand. Worst come to worse she will fight with the person until either the net breaks or the fish dies, her son was her life, only she knew how many taunts she had to listen to after she gave birth to Su Lan—— there was no way she was going to let anything happen to her son even if she were to die tonight, as soon as she came to a stop in front of the window, Madam Chu looked around the room. Once she was sure that Su Yu Cheng was perfectly hidden under the bed, she sucked in a breath and then turned to look at the window before pulling it open, however, as soon as she pulled it open and raised her shoe to hit the loanshark in the face, she saw that no one was standing outside.
Instead, a brown envelope with the help of a dagger was attached to the window pane.
The tip of the dagger was embedded in the window pane so harshly that it looked a bit threatening, however, leaving it hanging outside like this wasn’t good either. It was the middle of the night and no one was roaming outside the village, so it was still all right but if she was to leave it here out of fear then by morning everyone in the village would see this envelope.
And if someone was to take it out and read it then who knows they might find out that her son was running from loansharks!
Madam Chu didn’t want something like that to happen, so even if she was scared of the sharp dagger which was shining so ominously that it looked like it was used to butcher human, she still summoned every bit of her courage and pulled the dagger out, before taking the envelope inside with her. Even then she didn’t forget to look around, only after making sure that no one was peeking out of their house, did she turn around and closed the window panes with a muffled thud.
At the sound of the window being shut Su Yu Cheng slipped out of the bed. ” What’s wrong mother? And what is that?” He asked as he pointed to the brown envelope that Madam Chu was carrying in her hands.
“I don’t kno…w” Madam Chu was very nervous, she pointed to the dagger that she has kept on top of the old wooden cabinet and said, ” Someone stuck it to the window pane with that dagger, should ..should we read it or just throw it away?”
Su Yu Cheng’s first response was of course throw it away but then he remembered that the loan sharks after him weren’t that easy to deal with, so with a loud gulp, he tipped his chin at the envelope and said, ” Open it mother, let us see what did they have to say.”
Now that her son asked her to open the letter, Madam Chu had no choice either. She hesitated for a few seconds before tearing up the envelope and shaking out the letter that was inside it, once the white paper dropped on the floor. Su Yu Cheng crouched down and picked it up, if it was up to him, he would have left his mother to read it but Madam Chu never went to the academy and she only knew a few words at the most, if he wanted to find out what was written in the letter, he had no choice but to read it on his own.
So, with an air of willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, Su Yu Cheng picked up the letter and started reading it. However, the second he took a look at the letter and started to read it carefully, his expression changed and an ecstatic expression came on his face—— with great excitement, he looked at his mother and said, ” This is it, mother! Someone is helping us! With this solution we don’t need to do anything that is wrong, we can get everything back with just a simple trick.”
” Re…Really? Is that possible?” Madam Chu’s eyes widened as she looked at her son and asked, ” Can we really get everything back?” But after saying that she paused and shook her head. ” But that bitch is so sly, I don’t think that she will give everything back to us just because we play a simple trick on her.”
However, Su Yu Cheng wasn’t concerned, he waved his hand and chuckled. ” You don’t have to worry, mother. This time, that woman would be able to get out of our grasp, she will have to obediently follow our will or else she will suffer greatly.”
The next morning after everyone went to work, Su Wan was left alone in the big house. Because the family now moved back into town, the Shen family no longer lived with them instead they stayed at their own residence in the town and whenever they missed her, they would come knocking on her door. As for her husbands, they were too busy carrying out orders that they received for this month, if not they would have never left her but then again Su Wan had missed this rare tranquillity.
