Chapter 129: An Address

“Milady, Li Qiuhua has been brought back from the police station by your father.”

When Ghost Shadow returned, Su Yan was preparing to read Granny Li's letter.

Thinking of the scene of Li Qiuhua's embarrassment at the vegetable market, she burst out laughing.

She had it coming.

“Understood.”

After speaking, she continued to open Granny Li's letter.

The handwriting on the paper was a complete mess, but that didn't hinder Su Yan's good mood.

“Girl, everything is fine with Granny at home, do not worry. I received all the food you mailed back; Granny likes it very much. Granny doesn't lack money here, and you have many expenses out there, so don't bother sending money to Granny anymore.”

“Qiuheng also left the village on the third day after you were taken back; I don't know when he will return. However, before he left, he told Granny that he would contact you once things have settled down, so do not worry.”

“Granny was deeply relieved to learn that your eyes have recovered. You have worked hard during this time, girl. Since you are staying by your biological father's side, Granny is naturally at ease. Do not forget what Granny has instructed you; everything must prioritize safety.”

“Also, Da Huang from Erhu-zi's family has given birth to two little Yellows. You must not forget the wooden gun you promised to buy for Erhu-zi; Erhu-zi has been waiting for it all this time.”

When she reached the last paragraph, Su Yan laughed out loud.

Granny Li had no idea about this at all; it was likely something Erhu-zi had taken it upon himself to write at the end.

“Even the teacher has left Willow Village.”

She had asked the teacher about it before, and at that time, the teacher said they wouldn't be leaving for a short while. She hadn't expected that the teacher would break their word right after she left.

However, knowing that everyone was doing well made her happy too.

It was just that Granny Li had said so much, yet she was the only one who didn't mention the matter regarding her mother that she had inquired about in the letter.

A moment later, she refolded the letter.

At that moment, she discovered there was actually a line of small text at the bottom.

“No. 76 Yongxiang Road.”

It was an address, and it looked like it was just a street address; it didn't even specify if it was in this county town.

Granny Li would never write an address to her without a reason.

So, could this perhaps be related to her mother?

Su Yan grew excited. After ensuring she hadn't missed any other information, she put the letter away.

“Ghost Shadow, go find out if there is a Yongxiang Road in the city.”

“Yes, Milady. Your father and the others are back,” Ghost Shadow reminded her, then drifted away.

“Jianguo, I am telling the absolute truth! Otherwise, you can ask Momo; Momo saw it with her own eyes at the time!”

Before the people had even entered the courtyard, Li Qiuhua's agitated and sobbing voice had already drifted in.

Su Yan let out a cold laugh but did not go out immediately.

Su Jianguo walked into the room with a dark expression. Li Qiuhua could no longer hold her emotions together; she covered her face and began to wail.

Su Qiang was so frightened that he hid to the side, not daring to step forward.

Su Mo was quickly alerted. After coming over and seeing Li Qiuhua crying like a person lost in tears, her brow furrowed tightly.

“Dad, didn't Mom go out to buy groceries? What happened?”

She had been in high spirits when she left.

Su Jianguo sat in a chair, constantly regulating his breathing to suppress his rage. “Ask her!”

Before Su Mo could speak, Li Qiuhua impatiently jumped in.

“Momo, you quickly tell your father clearly—was that money given to me by Su Yan's own hands?!”

Su Mo's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood something.

“Dad, Mom isn't lying to you. The money was indeed given by Su Yan willingly.”

She just didn't know how her father had found out so quickly; he was definitely blaming her mother for asking for money from that wench.

“Jianguo, you heard me, right? I wasn't lying!”

In the next second, Su Mo clearly felt that Su Jianguo's anger was no longer directed solely at her mother; even the gaze he cast upon her was incredibly sharp.

How could this be?

“Momo, you have truly disappointed me! Such a clumsy lie, why are you helping your mother?” Su Jianguo barked in anger.

“Dad, Mom just took some money from Su Yan. She did it so our family could have food to eat. There's no need to throw such a huge tantrum, is there?” Su Mo felt for Li Qiuhua, but she was even more jealous of Su Yan.

Su Jianguo slammed the table heavily, producing a piercing sound.

“This isn't a matter of money at all! Your mother has brought shame to us in public!”

Su Mo was startled and immediately looked at Li Qiuhua. “Mom, what does Dad mean?”

Li Qiuhua cried even harder, her voice breaking.

Su Mo's face was full of impatience. “Stop crying. If there's something, explain it clearly. Do you have to make Dad angry like this?”

Looking at her daughter's grim expression, Li Qiuhua finally managed to restrain herself slightly.

“I don't know what happened. I took that money to buy groceries, and then it all turned into... turned into...”

“Turned into what?” Su Mo was becoming more and more confused the more she listened.

Li Qiuhua said tremblingly, “It turned into joss paper.”

Su Mo froze, staring straight at her, unable to react for a moment.

“How is that possible?”

She had seen that money clearly.

Her reaction was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Li Qiuhua, making the latter feel so wronged she could almost die.

However, Su Mo's eyes soon began to dart around incessantly. Setting aside where that massive amount of money had actually gone, wasn't this a perfect opportunity to frame that blind girl?

A surge of joy rose in her heart, but her expression became even more serious.

“Mom, don't cry first. I know what happened.”

Li Qiuhua looked at her with teary eyes, clearly placing all her hopes on her.

Su Mo spoke to Su Jianguo with great solemnity. “Dad, don't you find this matter strange? No matter how she is, Mom wouldn't be foolish enough to use fake money in public.”

Su Jianguo said nothing, seemingly waiting for her to continue.

“My arm was perfectly fine and then suddenly turned into this state; even the doctor said they had never seen such a situation. But at that time, I was right in Su Yan's room...” Su Mo's emotions gradually became agitated.

Su Jianguo's face was dark; he was about to interrupt, but Su Mo beat him to it again.

“Dad, please let me finish speaking first. You can decide for yourself what the truth is, okay?”

Her attitude was more earnest than ever before.

A crease formed between Su Jianguo's eyebrows.

Su Mo continued to strike while the iron was hot. “You don't believe what I say, but I truly did lose my arm and became a cripple. Today, Mom clearly received money from Su Yan, but after going out, it turned into fake money. If neither Mom nor I are lying, then who exactly is the liar?”

“Dad, Mom and I have lived with you for so many years; you should know better than anyone what kind of people we are. Su Yan is your kin, but we are too!”

By the end, Su Mo was weeping.

“Dad, whether you believe it or not, Su Yan really is problematic!”
