Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Substitute Bride Sister 35

Mr. Li arrived at the Meng family home on his bicycle at dawn.

Yuan Chun had just gotten up and heard that Mr. Li had arrived. She quickly washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

"Dad, why did you come so early? Did something happen to Mom?" she asked knowingly.

"Your mom’s fine. It’s... your sister’s side has news. I asked Meng Fei to take me to the police station."

Thinking about what the eldest daughter did to the youngest, Mr. Li felt uneasy. He blamed himself for not educating the eldest daughter properly, leading her to commit such a heinous act.

Last night, the eldest daughter stole all the money from the sister-in-law’s family, completely disgracing him.

Meng Fei had been up early, in his two sons’ room, dressing the younger one. As he led his two sons downstairs, hearing his father-in-law’s words, he skipped breakfast, instructed the driver to drive them, and headed to the police station.

After explaining what Li Hongchun did last night, they went with two police officers to Tufang Village to inquire about Aunt Li Hongchun’s whereabouts.

Auntie’s eyes were swollen from crying, "Officers, I don’t know where Hong Chun went. I didn’t know she committed a crime. If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken her in, sobbing... She told me such pitiful things that I felt sorry for her and kindly took her in, only to be deceived."

"That wicked girl! She has no conscience. She repaid kindness with betrayal, stealing the money my son had earned over three years, more than eight thousand yuan, sobbing... My son planned to build a house by the end of the year, but now it’s gone. How will I build my son’s house now? Officers, you must find Hong Chun and recover our money, or I won’t survive."

Mrs. Li had woken up last night.

Listening to her sister cry so sorrowfully, she cried along, "Taohua, don’t be sad. I’ll compensate you for your money. Don’t blame Hong Chun. She’s also pitiful, abandoned by Wu Hongwei, that beast. She had no way out, leading her to make mistakes. Don’t blame her."

Auntie already learned from Mrs. Li about what Li Hongchun had done.

She angrily glared at her sister, "Sis, Hong Chun is spoiled by you. She nearly sold Yuan Chun, yet you defend her. Sis, all these years Hong Chun ignored you and brother-in-law, while Yuan Chun has been by your side caring for you, providing money and goods. Last time you were ill, it was Yuan Chun who tirelessly cared for you. You can’t betray Yuan Chun’s heart for a thankless child."

Mrs. Li covered her face and wailed, "Hong Chun and Yuan Chun are both my daughters. Flesh on the hand is flesh on the back. What am I supposed to do, sobbing... This wicked girl Hong Chun, how could she... how could she target Meng Fei? There are so many good men in the world, how could she target her brother-in-law? She wants to bring chaos to the Li family’s household."

Mr. Li pulled her aside and scolded, "Enough, stop crying. The officers need to ask Taohua questions. Your crying disrupts their work. What’s that like?"

Mrs. Li felt as if her throat was suddenly gripped, and her cries came to an abrupt stop.

She sheepishly kept silent, but her gaze frequently glanced at Meng Fei.

It’s because of him that her two daughters are at odds. Her eldest daughter is afraid to return home and is now missing.

In her heart, Mrs. Li also held a bit of resentment towards Meng Fei at this moment.
