Not long after, panicked screams echoed from the house.
After Ming Li had beaten them to her satisfaction, she calmly put away her large iron hammer, her gaze sweeping over the relatives on the ground who looked like dead dogs. With a blank expression, she said, "You are not qualified to touch my things."
"You wicked girl! You ungrateful child! Have you forgotten? I carried you when you were little! And this is how you treat me now? Has your maternal heart been eaten by dogs?!" Hearing Ming Li's words, the second aunt spoke up indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Ming Li's eyes narrowed dangerously. She cast a cold glance at the second aunt who spoke, and after a long while, she uttered a single word, "Ruffian."
Second Aunt, "......?"
"Knock, knock, knock——"
Just as everyone in the room was bewildered, a knock suddenly sounded from outside the door, followed by a middle-aged man's voice, "Xiao Yu, are you home?"
Hearing Captain Li's voice from outside, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He glanced at Ming Li, and seeing her nod, he quickly ran to open the door.
The group of miserable relatives looked at Captain Li, who walked in, with vigilance.
Who is this? Could he be another relative coming to claim compensation with them? They hadn't seen him before either...
Captain Li, who walked in, saw a large number of people lying on the ground. His mouth twitched, and he looked at Mo Lin Yu inquiringly, "Is your sister also here?"
Hearing this, the little boy nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Captain Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is she?"
Mo Lin Yu pointed to a memorial tablet not far away, "Over there."
Captain Li's gaze followed the direction the little boy pointed, his expression filled with complexity, "Your sister... why is she gnawing on a candle?"
"I don't know."
Captain Li, "......"
After a long silence, Captain Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the people on the ground again. He frowned and asked, "Who are these people? Why are they here?"
Hearing this, Mo Lin Yu was stunned. He glanced at the relatives still moaning on the ground and said, "These are all our family relatives. They are all here to claim my sister's compensation..."
Captain Li, "......?"
Claim compensation?
Recalling that their police department had contacted these relatives to collect Mo Li's body, but these people had come up with all sorts of excuses not to, Captain Li's expression soured.
On the ground, meeting the stern gaze of the middle-aged man, the relatives instinctively felt guilty and quickly averted their eyes.
An old woman with gray hair frowned and asked, "Are you one of Xiao Yu's relatives? I haven't seen you before. Let me tell you, Xiao Li's compensation is all ours. Don't even think about it... Ah!"
Before the old woman could finish speaking, she suddenly clutched her forehead and wailed. At her feet lay the half of a white candle...
Captain Li, "......"
"This money belongs to Xiao Yu. What does it have to do with you?"
Hearing Captain Li's words, the relatives became indignant, "What is Xiao Yu's money? What does he, a small child, need so much money for? His cousin is getting married, and this money is for his cousin's wedding!"
"That's right, what use does a child have for so much money? It's better for us to keep it for him."
"Oh?" Captain Li frowned and asked, "If you give him the money, how will Xiao Yu live? Are you going to raise him until he's an adult?"
"What?" Hearing Captain Li's words, the relatives all frowned, looking at Mo Lin Yu with disdain and saying, "We have our own children to raise at home. How can we raise other people's children?"
