Chapter 500: Learning the truth bit by bit
Mu Keer was still speaking to her daughter when they all heard the knocks on the door. Thinking that her debtors have perceived that she just got money, Mu Keer was afraid to share the money she just got with them, so she gave the bundle of money to her son and asked him to run away with it.
“Leave through the window and come back five minutes later.” Mu Keer said to him in a stern tone.
After making sure her son had left, she went to answer the door only to see Huang Li’s sister standing there with a slight smile on her face.
Mu Keer felt deep relief that it was not a debtor that came, or thru would have given her house a good search to take anything worth a little money.
“Please write down the address to the place my sister was buried.” Huang Li’s sister said to her.
“Oh, please come in, I will ask my daughter to write it for you.” Mu Keer said with a welcoming smile. This is someone that just gave her a lot of money, so of course, she would be willing to do that little for her.
“No, I’m fine with standing here, I will be waiting.” The woman said. There was no way she would want to go into that trashy house the second time, and to a woman that lied to them.
Since she refused to come in, Mu Keer didn’t insist. She went back inside the house and emerged 2 minutes later with a piece of paper, and handed it to the woman.
“Do you need me to follow you, so I can show you the way?.” Mu Keer suggested, but how could the woman accept her help, she refused her.
“Okay. Now that your family is here, I will hand over taking care of that place to you. I have been the one cleaning that place as devotion to my brother and his wife. These days, it’s getting difficult for me to climb there myself, since I didn’t have money to take care of my health.” Mu Keer said with a smile.
“You mean sweeping and cleaning the tomb area?.” The woman asked in raised brows.
“Yes. I didn’t have money to call anyone to help me clean up the place, so I did the job myself. But now that you are here, you can give me a little more money to help find someone that will do the job now.” Mu Keer said shamelessly.
The woman boiled in rage that Mu Keer dared to ask her for more money after lying to them. Clearly, she was a greedy woman.
Mu Keer was ignorant of her change in emotions and waited for her response.
“We will see my sister first.” The woman said after managing to calm her emotions.
Mu Keer nodded and allowed her to leave. The reason she had been so confident, was because she knew that Jia Li employed someone to help clean up her parents’ tomb.
When Huang Li’s sister walked back to the car, her brother said with a frown, “What took you so long?.”
There was a big from on her face as she replied, “You won’t believe that I just heard. That woman had us completely fooled, and she is a very greedy woman whose appetite for money cannot be satiated.”
“How? What happened?.” Old Mrs. Huang asked.
The woman went on to tell them the exact words she heard from Mu Keer’s lips when she went to find her just now, including her asking for more money.
“Are you sure you heard her clearly?.” Her brother asked with a clear frown. He too was surprised with the turn of events. His question was meant for the part she cursed at Jia Li.
“Do I look like I have ear troubles?.” His sister asked in an annoyed tone. She was still very angry that they gave money to a woman that lied to them without batting an eye.
“It looks like we have to pay a visit to the Fu Family, but first, we need to go and see Li.” Old Mrs. Huang said in a sad tone.
The Huang family drove to the address Mu Keer gave to them, and they indeed found the public burial ground and went up to that place.
Old Mrs. Huang was old and was already tired from the places they have been to, but she still insisted on going up with them to see her daughter.
When they had just climbed up, they just saw a woman sweeping a particular tomb, and when they got close, they saw the names written on the tombs she was sweeping, ‘Qin Li & Qin ****’
The woman cleaning that place up noticed the people behind her and turned around to greet them politely before asking if they came to see Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
“Yes, we are here to see them. Are you the one taking care of this place?.” Huang Li’s sister asked.
“Yes, I was employed to take care of their tombs.” The cleaning lady replied.
“If I may ask, who employed you? Was it Mr. Qin’s sister?.” Huang Li’s sister asked.
Immediately she mentioned Mu Keer, the cleaning lady could not hide her disgust.
“It would have been better if she felt remorseful for her husband’s sins and asked someone to clean up this place. It was the daughter of Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin that pays me to clean this place up on her behalf since she married so far away.”
The Huang siblings glanced at each other before looking at the cleaning lady as they were surprised and curious as to how Mu Keer’s husband was related to the death of their sister and her husband.
“Please, can you tell us how this man is related to their deaths?.” Huang Li’s brother asked.
The cleaning lady sighed in regret and said to them, “This matter is so delicate that we don’t mention it or talk about it. Just know that Qin Mu Keer’s husband caused their death, and he is paying for his sins in jail.”
Old Lady Huang was so shocked by this new revelation that she staggered, but was firmly held by her two children.
The cleaning lady took this as a sign to leave, so she bowed to them and walked away.
