Chapter Six
The next day, Li Cui arrived at Wang Dajun's house early, with a very willing attitude. Yesterday, Wang Dagui went back and told her all his plans, and she was so happy in her heart that if it weren't for the poor sound insulation in their home, she really wanted to hug Wang Dagui tightly and scream with joy twice, celebrating that they would soon become millionaires as a couple. However, it didn't matter, they found another way to celebrate.
The result of the celebration is that Comrade Li Cu's spirit isn't very good today, but she's quite satisfied with this effect. Others will only say we're being overly sentimental, after all, it's been a while since Brother and Sister-in-law passed away, and they've become so sorrowful. "Qiqi, why are you sitting here alone?" Although Li Cu had known about this fact for a long time, she still had to put on an act, especially now that the sun was up and people were coming and going outside, it's also a way of saying it out loud for them to hear. "Yesterday I thought your uncle would stay here with you, so I went back home, but when I woke up early this morning, I found out your uncle had gone back home, which made me angry, and after arguing with him for two sentences, I immediately came over."
Wang QiQi's small face turned pale, and she shouted in a low voice to Li Cui, "Auntie, it was me who called you back. Yesterday was really troublesome for him. In the middle of the night, he still went to find an ice coffin. I can handle things here by myself. Oh right, I'll trouble you this morning. I'll go to school and ask for a leave of absence first, then take out the money from my parents' salary cards."
Yesterday, Wang Qi sat at home, thought for a long time, and decided not to use the 50,000 yuan deposit slip. She would first use the money in her salary card to handle things, anyway, that money could be withdrawn from an ATM. As for the password, of course, she knew it too.
Li Cui had another task in mind at this time, and it was best to get things done before her elder sister and others arrived. However, she didn't know if Wang QiQi knew how much money there was at home. "QiQi, is the money at home enough? If not, Auntie will ask your uncle to go home and fetch some."
Wang Qiqi pursed her lips, thinking that they were now eager to know how much money was in the family's savings. In her previous life, she hadn't paid attention to these things and had let them take everything away. "Yesterday I flipped through it, there's only one 50,000 yuan deposit slip and some money on my parents' payroll cards. I think we should leave the deposit slip at home and take the money from the payroll cards first."
Li Cui did not expect that her brother and sister-in-law's savings were only this much, her mouth opened wide in surprise, "Ah, is it just this little?" In her mind, her brother and sister-in-law should have at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in savings, for example, she and Da Gui, although their salaries are not high, they also have around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan in savings. Her brother's unit has good welfare benefits, how could they only have that little money?
Are you looking down on the small amount of money? Wang Qiqi closed her eyes and thought to herself, if it weren't for not wanting to arouse your suspicion, I wouldn't even want to put this 100,000 outside. However, Wang Qiqi still pretended to be hesitant and asked Li Cui, stuttering and thinking for a long time, "That... my parents spent a lot of money buying this house, and also spent money on renovations, and there's more." After thinking for a long time, "That uncle borrowed 20,000 or 30,000 from my parents recently, saying it was to pay off gambling debts. And when your family bought a house, my family gave you 30,000. When your family renovated, my parents bought over 20,000 worth of electrical appliances. Also, when my older sister's family renovated, we gave them 18,000. We also bought two TVs, which cost around 20,000 or so. And there's more... Mom's colleagues at work also borrowed some money."
Li Cui did not expect Wang Qiqi to actually report everything, although after calculating it, it seems that the money in the hands of her brother and sister-in-law matches up. However, the problem is that the house left by her sister-in-law's family is still there, and why Qiqi would know about it when she shouldn't have known anything. This is what Liu Cui is most concerned about right now. "Qiqi knows so much."
Wang Qiqi detected the probing in Li Cui's words, wondering if she had been too clever. "I just happened to be there, that's all I know," Wang Qiqi said, then looked up at Li Cui with a crisp tone, "Auntie, is it because our family doesn't have enough money? But I really don't know, I only know my dad and mom often take me out to play and eat, Mom says Dad spoils me too much and spends a lot of money, but Mom is the one who's really good at spending..."
Li Cui was speechless when she heard Wang Qiqi's report, and of course, she couldn't stop scolding her brother-in-law and his wife in her heart for being wasteful. They were clearly short-lived ghosts, yet they still went to get beauty treatments, spending hundreds of dollars on hair alone. It was no wonder that Li Cui was easily deceived - after all, Wang Dajun and his wife had been very extravagant before. Wang Qiqi's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, which made Li Cui believe her.
Actually, one of the reasons why Wang Dajun and his wife spend money so lavishly is that some of it comes from consumption cards given to Li Dajun by others. If they don't use them, it would be a waste. Of course, Wang Dagui and his wife know this; otherwise, they would definitely find out that Wang QiQi was cheating them.
After waiting for a long time and finding that Li Cui did not respond to her, Wang Qiqi spoke up, "Auntie, I'll go to school to ask for leave first, then take out the money. There are many places where money is needed." After saying this, Wang Qiqi turned around and left.
Li Cuilian saw Wang Qiqi leave, and immediately flashed to the balcony, waving at Wang Dagui below, indicating that he could come up. Li Cuilian didn't return to the living room, but directly went into her brother's and sister-in-law's room to rummage through things. She was careful not to make a mess, worried that if Wang Qiqi came back and found the room in disarray, she would have some suspicions. After searching for a long time, Li Cuilian finally found a 50,000 yuan deposit slip from under the quilt in the closet. Not giving up, Li Cuilian was about to continue searching.
Wang Daguai pushed open the door with a sly look and asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything valuable?"
Wang Dagu didn't sleep well all night, he kept thinking about how much money he would make today.
Li Cui was startled by the sound of the door being pushed open, and before she could think of a countermeasure, she heard her husband's voice. She turned around and glared at Wang Daogui, "Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?" Li Cui was furious in her heart, especially after hearing what Wang Qiqi had said about her husband borrowing 200,000 to 300,000 yuan from his family, which she hadn't received. Of course, she wouldn't think that Qiqi was cheating her. "Right, did you borrow money from your brother and sister-in-law a few days ago?"
His wife's words gave Wang Dagu a fright, to think that this money was borrowed from his elder brother and sister-in-law without his wife's knowledge, and he hadn't even written an IOU at the time. Now that they were gone, who could he turn to when he got into debt again? Alas, Wang Dagu suddenly felt that his brother and sister-in-law's passing might not be a good thing for him after all.
"I asked you, how did you answer." Li Cui turned over and put the quilt in the cabinet, of course, she didn't forget to put the money in too. After she finished all these chores, she found Wang Da Gui lowering his head, seemingly thinking about something, "I asked you, did you borrow that much money? Qi Qi told me everything."
Wang Daguai was originally still thinking about who had spoken out, but later on hearing that it was Wang Qiqi, he understood in his heart. It seemed that his wife felt that the savings of her elder brother's family did not match what they thought, "Hmmm, they gave me 30,000 yuan, wasn't I just playing cards with them last time and lost to them? They said if I didn't return the money, they would cut off my hands and feet?" Wang Daguai dared not be lazy, besides this money was not taken from her hand.
If it were before, Li Cui would be very happy, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's not her own money. The key is that this money is all from their own home. "Just now I asked Qi Qi, your brother's family only has 50,000 yuan in savings, oh, and the money on their salary cards." Li Cui was already half relieved, sighing.
Wang Daguai immediately shouted that it was not right when he heard this number. After listening to Li Cui's analysis, "And your brother and sister-in-law used to help you pay off 500,000 to 600,000 yuan of gambling debts, didn't they? Adding this 300,000, it should be around 800,000 yuan." Li Cui calculated that it was correct. "In the future, don't gamble again. If you do, no one will help you pay off your debt."
Wang Daguai nodded, indicating that he understood and wasn't an idiot, knowing that no one was backing him up, so he wouldn't be so stupid.
Wang Qiqi first went to school to ask the teacher for an indefinite leave of absence, and the teacher was naturally unhappy, after all, it was already in the second year of high school. Asking for such a long vacation wouldn't be pulling down her grades? The teacher tried to persuade Wang Qiqi, but at this moment, Wang Qiqi insisted on taking the leave. She also promised that she would definitely do well on the final exams and so on. Seeing how insistent Wang Qiqi was, the teacher had no choice but to agree despite feeling helpless.
The teacher also specially asked Wang Qiqi to leave her home phone number, saying that she would send over the school's test papers and homework every day, so that she wouldn't forget to do her homework at home. Wang Qiqi knew that this was the teacher trying to make things difficult for herself, with the goal of getting her to return to school early. But she knew that if she followed her classmates in reading books now, she would be exposed, and she had planned to stay at home during this time to review her previous courses thoroughly, planning to catch up on the progress. Fortunately, the exam was already over, otherwise Wang Qiqi would have been anxious to death.
After Wang Qiqi left school, she went directly to the headquarters of China Bank and opened a safe deposit box at the counter. Although there was also a safe at home, Wang Qiqi always felt that it was not safe to keep it at home. Maybe during this period when she was not around, her uncle and others had already started searching for the safe at their own home. Wang Qiqi had thought about what to do if they found the safe, so she deliberately put the jewelry that her father had bought for her mother in the safe deposit box. After all, an empty safe would arouse suspicion. The jewelry left by her grandparents to her mother was a bit old-fashioned, and her mother often kept it in the safe, so Wang Qiqi took it out of the safe and put it in her backpack, taking it with her as she left. This was also the only opportunity for Wang Qiqi to take the things out without arousing suspicion.
Wang Qiqi entered the safe deposit box amidst the confusion of the safe deposit box manager, then put in the jewelry and several house property certificates. Of course, she didn't take out the property certificate of the house they currently live in. Even if they wanted to sell it later, Wang Qiqi wouldn't have to worry about having nowhere to live. It can be said that 80% of the family's assets were transferred to herself in this way, and the things left on the surface are not easy for them to touch.
