Kong Lu snatched the cloth bag with all his might and counted the stack of money he took out from it.

There was more than 900 dollars.

Kong Lu thought for a moment and took 750 dollars before returning the rest to Kong Li.

Kong Li did not even imagine that she would have any money left. She quickly took her bag and counted the money to see how much she had left.

Kong Lu walked out without daring to look at Xia He. He opened the door to see his pushy creditor, the Sun family’s daughter-in-law.

“This is 752 dollars. Here you go,” Kong Lu said.

“Hey, hey, hey! Let me count!” The eyes of the Sun family’s daughter-in-law lit up when she saw so much money.

There were many people in their family and many mouths to feed. The salary of the Sun family’s eldest son was not even enough to feed everyone in the family. She had never seen so much money.

The Sun family’s daughter-in-law rubbed her hands excitedly and took the money from Kong Lu. She carefully flipped through a few dollar notes, spat on her hands and started counting the money.

When Kong Lu saw that the Sun family’s daughter-in-law was almost done counting, he snatched the money back.

“Hey! What are you doing!” The Sun family’s daughter-in-law shouted as she pointed at the money.

“You have to give me a receipt,” Kong Lu said as he held up the money in his hand.

The Sun family’s daughter-in-law thought that Kong Lu had gone back on his word at the last minute. So he just wanted a receipt. She immediately ran downstairs and went home to write one and returned in less than two minutes.

“Take a look and see if this receipt is acceptable? Besides, all the neighbors can be witnesses, so there won’t be any problem. Don’t worry, you and your sister messed up my house today but compensated us with 752 dollars. This matter is considered over!” said the Sun family’s daughter-in-law with a grin.

Kong Lu glanced at all the neighbors in the corridor who were watching the commotion and handed the money to the Sun family’s daughter-in-law with a grimace.

The Sun family’s daughter-in-law held up the money and counted the notes loudly.

“One! Two!… Eleven!… Thirty! None missing! I hope everyone can bear witness to this!” shouted the Sun family’s daughter-in-law.

Nothing must go wrong with this. This was a big issue and there was no room for mistakes. Besides, they were very lucky to be able to wash their hands off the matter regarding Xia Fang’s color television today.

Although she had denied that it was the children from her family who did it, no one knew what exactly happened at that time. What those children said might not be the truth. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her family now!

She could even replace her family’s lousy television with a new one now. It was a lucky day for her today.

The Sun family’s daughter-in-law walked home smugly. Everyone in the corridor looked at Kong Lu like they were looking at a fool.

Kong Lu slammed the door shut and entered the house. He sat opposite Xia He and said, “I’ll return all the money we owe you.”

“What money are you talking about? Is it this 752 dollars, or the money your family owes me, or the money for my sister-in-law’s jewelry set?” Xia He asked.

Kong Lu paused for a moment before saying, “Everything.”

Xia He was a little surprised. She curled her lips and said, “Alright, that’s 9,514 dollars. How about this, let’s just take it as 9,500 dollars,” Xia He said.

Kong Lu gritted his teeth and nodded. “Alright, I understand.”

After saying that, Xia He ignored him and went to clean up the house. There were still many parts of the house that she had not cleaned up yet. She reckoned that news of this matter would soon reach the hospital and her aunt would definitely be back tonight.

She wanted to restore the cleanliness of the house and return the furnishings to their original state before Xia Fang returned. Otherwise, she would feel very embarrassed.

She would not be able to hide what happened to the television today, but Xia Fang would definitely forgive her and would not laugh at her after knowing the reason.

Kong Lu eagerly snatched the broom from Xia He’s hand and started to do the cleaning up.

Xia He did not fight with him for it. This was what he should do.

Xia He looked at the things around her and went back into her room. The pillow contained the last of her assets, an amount of 3,600 dollars.

As if she would let Kong Li discover all the spots where she kept her money? As if she would not have any money left at all and would put herself in a helpless position if trouble came knocking?

After getting a divorce, she would not have a home anymore. She would first need to find a place to stay. The local art troupe in the small town was not like the one in the capital where the principal performer would be allocated a house. The local art troupe did not even have that many performances, let alone having a principal performer.
