The man saw the bank's incoming SMS notification and laughed twice before walking away.
After those men left, Liang Huifang climbed up from the ground, cursing and saying, "What a bunch of dogs! I just owe them some money, what's the big deal? It hurts so much!"
You Yao glared at her and roared, "I will tell you, Liang Huifang, if you can't get rid of your gambling addiction, I won't cut off your hands. I will directly find a reporter to publish a report and sever our mother-daughter relationship. Whether you live or die, I won't even bother to look at you."
If it were not for the original host's desire to help Liang Huifang quit gambling, she really wouldn't want to interfere.
Liang Huifang was scared and begged, "Ayao, you can't ignore me. If you don't help me, they will kill me."
"Beating to death is the best, you are just a troublemaker."
You Yao scolded with a cold face.
Since he was raised by the original host, Yu Yuanlin's salary, besides supporting his family, was mostly used to help Liang Huifang pay off gambling debts. At first, it was only a few thousand dollars, but later it seemed to accumulate like a snowball and grew increasingly large.
By then, it was impossible to repay, and they had to move frequently to avoid debts.
Liang Huifang was also angry, "Ayao, I am your mother. How can you say that about me?"
"I would rather not have a mother like you."
You Yao threw down a cold sentence and went back to her room.
Liang Huifang was so angry her face turned ashen. She wanted to ask where she got so much money, but seeing her daughter's demeanor, she dared not ask.
Yu Yuanlin and Yu Yuanqing quickly came back from work and heard about this matter. They were also scared by it.
After that, they started shouting and clamored for a move at night, saying they couldn't live here anymore.
You Yao felt restless, about to open her mouth to say something.
As she was about to speak, Liang Huifang nonchalantly said, "Oh, don't worry. After all, Ayao is working in a big company and can earn money. She took out two million yuan today, and there may be even more..."
"Slap!"
Before Liang Huifang could continue, a loud slap landed heavily on her face, knocking her whole body down onto the sofa.
The already dough-like face became even more swollen.
"Liang Huifang, is that what you call human speech? Ayao works hard every day, waking up early and staying late. You don't appreciate her just yet, but you still say such things. I'll kill you…"
Yu Yuanlin's inner anger was completely ignited. His expression was fierce, and he pounded Liang Huifang's body with his fists, one after another, without holding back, even kicking her with his feet.
Clearly, he was very angry.
Of course, there was also pent-up resentment for many years.
"Aahhh... Yu Yuanlin, you dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death..."
Liang Huifang was screamed at as she was beaten, constantly hiding in the house, either by running or throwing things wildly.
However, it only brought more fierce beatings from Yu Yuanlin, who shouted as he hit her, "You are a person who never changes. I'll kill you today and let you harm the whole family..."
"Aahh... Ayao, Ayqing, I'm being beaten to death by my dad, please help me…"
Liang Huifang was in great pain, making loud screams as tears and snot covered her face. Although she had a fiery personality, she was still a woman and naturally couldn't match Yu Yuanlin's strength, leaving her with no chance to retaliate.
She rolled around on the ground, only to get up and be pushed back down by Yu Yuanlin for another round of beatings.
The punches landed on her flesh, and he did not show any mercy.
Yu Yao and Yu Yuanqing, the two brothers and sisters, coldly watched on, not even attempting to intervene.
As the saying goes, 'A pitiable person must have something to be hated.'
As for what Liang Huifang just said, even if Yu Yuanlin didn't raise his hand, Yu Yao would be unable to hold back her desire to strike back.
What does it mean that she works in a big company?
What does it mean that she can earn money?
What does it mean that she even took out two million yuan? That she definitely has more on her?
Liang Huifang has never changed and cannot understand the hardships of others earning money.
She believes that since she was born, she can be exploited and pressed as much as possible, all of which is justified.
For a moment, she really thought about severing her mother-daughter relationship with Liang Huifang.
Yes, she indeed thought about doing so.
One sibling went to take a shower, while the other went back to their room, completely ignoring how Liang Huifang was beaten.
When the two siblings returned to the living room, Yu Yuanlin had stopped beating Liang Huifang.
Only Liang Huifang's sobs remained in the house, sitting on the sofa and crying continuously. The whole person couldn't be looked at, covered in injuries and with blood oozing from her lips.
But no one cared for her.
The three of them sat around the dinner table in the restaurant, but didn't call Liang Huifang to join them.
Liang Huifang dare not sit at the table. She sat on the sofa, crying continuously.
"I'll check out the house tomorrow. This place is no longer livable."
Yu Yuanlin ate a few mouthfuls but had no appetite, it seems.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand and, looking depressed, spoke to the two siblings.
In that moment, it seemed as if he had aged greatly.
Yu Yuanqing gritted his teeth and stood up to return to his room, taking out a bank card.
He handed it to Yu Yuanlin and said, "There's 200,000 yuan in here. It's the savings I've accumulated over the years for my future wife. Dad, take this money first to pay off Mom's gambling debts. It's not a good solution to keep moving around like this."
Yu Yuanlin looked at the bank card his son had handed him, shook his head, and did not reach out to take it, "Mom's gambling debts are too much, and they keep compounding interest. We can't afford to pay them off."
The room suddenly fell silent, and the quiet was so thick that one could hear the drop of a needle.
After a long time.
Yu Yao sighed and said, "There's no need to move. I will pay off the gambling debts at home."
Yu Yuanlin and Yu Yuanqing, the two fathers and sons, were both stunned. They then looked at her in disbelief.
"Ayao, you paid off two million yuan in gambling debts for your mom today. Where did you get so much money?"
Yu Yuanlin had originally wanted to ask this question, but he forgot about it when he got angry. He only remembered now and asked.
Yu Yuanqing was also curious and stared at her, clearly eager to know the answer.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered, making up a lie, "I had won the lottery before, but I didn't tell you all."
"Really? When was that? How much did you win?"
Yu Yuanqing's eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly moved closer, his bright eyes fixed on her.
"It was before I went on a business trip. I collected the prize and went to France for the business trip. I wanted to tell you all when I came back, but then I forgot."
Yu Yao's face was a bit awkward. She lowered her head to eat and spoke softly with a guilty look, "It was not the truth."
She did not specify how much she had won.
The two fathers did not doubt her, and were all happy to hear that she had won the lottery, praising her good luck.
"This is good now. We don't have to move anymore."
Liang Huifang stopped crying and her arrogance returned.
She smiled and walked over, "Ayao, you are really capable. Mom will depend on you from now on."
Yu Yao didn't even bother to look at her and sneered, "Don't count on me. I won't give you a single cent."
Liang Huifang's smile froze on her face, and she wanted to curse, but upon encountering Yu Yuanlin's cold eyes, the words were swallowed down.
She was really starting to fear Yu Yuanlin now. When he fought, he really did it with all his might.
Just now, for a moment, she thought she would be beaten to death by Yu Yuanlin.
In the following days, there was a debt collector at the door every day.
It was all the debts that Liang Huifang owed before, the amount wasn't actually that much. But because she had never paid them back, the interest had kept accumulating, making it larger over time.
At this point, Yu Yao had already realized something was wrong.
They had lived in the Shum Shui Po district for so long without any debt collectors coming, so why did they suddenly start showing up all at once?
It felt like their family's address had been exposed to those debtors.
Besides He Zhichao, who was detained in the police station and didn't come, all the other debt collectors came.
"Tongtong, what's going on here?"
Yu Yao paid off all the gambling debts that Liang Huifang owed, until all the debt collectors left, and she couldn't help but ask about the system.
"It's Zhou Jiatong. She dispatched people to investigate you. She not only exposed your family address to the debt collectors but also spent five million yuan to buy your life."
The system did not hide anything, but told her the truth.
Upon hearing the words of the system, Yu Yao's hair stood on end, and she looked shocked, "Zhou Jiatong spent 50 million yuan to buy my life? Why? Is it for Chen Zhongyuan? But I have been going to work and back safely every day. Nothing has happened to me."
"That's because Zhou Jiatong hasn't raised enough money yet. The people involved in the underworld won't strike unless they receive their payment. However, they are already keeping an eye on you from the shadows, and as soon as the money is deposited, they will make a move."
The system's voice also became more cautious, and it reminded her again, "You still need to be careful. Your current body is a completely ordinary person with no strength at all. Once you're abducted, it will be very dangerous for you."
Yu Yao furrowed her brow, "I know."
She began to think about how to deal with this situation internally.
