Chapter 323 Lover or Stepmother
Wang Peng stared at the well and whispered, "500,000 yuan in cash buried here? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Hu Qing shook her head. "I have no relatives or friends here now, and you're the only one I can trust. How could I possibly joke with you?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Wang Peng asked as he swung his entrenching tool and began digging.
"It's definitely true, I buried it myself, it's all my secret stash of money." Hu Qing wiped her sweat.
After a moment, she whispered, "My uncle knows I have money. As long as I hand over the money, he won't let me stay in a mental hospital."
Hearing this, Wang Peng frowned. "Is your uncle named Liu Yunlai? He used to drive for Huang Ran?"
“Yes.” Hu Qing nodded. “He is my only family member, and also the only family member who harmed me.”
Wang Peng stopped talking and began digging with his entrenching tool, quickly creating a small pit half a meter deep.
"Crack!" The shovel hit something hard, and he perked up, squatting down to dig through the soil.
A rusty iron box was revealed, and with a strong pull, it was dragged out.
“This is it.” Hu Qing squatted down next to the box, touching the lock on it. “Pengdi, help me pick the lock.”
The box was covered in rust, and the lock was rusted shut, indicating that it had been buried for several years.
Wang Peng picked up the steel bar shears, cut the rusty padlock, opened the box, and pulled out a snakeskin bag.
Hu Qing boarded the car carrying a snakeskin bag.
Wang Peng locked the iron gate, drove away from the village, and Hu Qing sat in the back seat, taking out stacks of hundred-yuan bills.
After a long pause, she smiled and said, "I'm so lucky. The box cost a full 500,000, and it didn't get wet or have any rats in it."
Wang Peng asked, "Why did you hide the money here? Wouldn't it be better to deposit it in a bank?"
Hu Qing shook her head. "Huang Ran and Wang Cheng are both scum. Money that has a record cannot be kept in a bank."
Speaking of this, she recalled being sent to a mental hospital by Wang Cheng and her uncle, and the torture she suffered there, which made her feel cold all over.
“Brother Peng, I’m investing 500,000 in you. You must crush Huihuang and make Wang Cheng penniless.”
Her voice trembled slightly, "And Li Guifen, she's no good either, she tormented me too."
A silence fell over the car. Hu Qing was panting heavily, while Wang Peng gently shook his head.
He knew Li Guifen's character; she must have abused Hu Qing during her hospitalization.
Hu Qing suddenly said, "I want to get revenge on Li Guifen and Wang Cheng. I've decided to marry Wang Cheng's father!"
Wang Peng slammed on the brakes, nearly hitting his head on the windshield, and a piece of money fell off the back seat.
He parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and stared at Hu Qing for a long time before whispering, "Are you out of your mind? You, do you really have a mental illness?"
"I didn't!" Hu Qing hurriedly shook her head.
Wang Peng also shook his head, his head buzzing.
Hu Qing was once Wang Cheng's girlfriend. She got pregnant with Wang Cheng's child, but then had an abortion. In the end, she married Wang Cheng's biological father...
His mind was a complete mess, and he said urgently, "Big sister, stop messing around, do you want to be my stepmother?"
Hu Qing sneered, "If I marry Wang Song, Wang Cheng will become a laughing stock in the provincial business community, and his thriving business will be affected."
"Li Guihua will be furious. The man she doesn't want is marrying a younger woman. I'm going to make her angry to death."
“Brother Peng, I am a useless woman. I can only use my body to take revenge.”
As she spoke, Hu Qing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"You're talking nonsense." Wang Peng laughed angrily. "A body is a body, not a tool for your revenge."
As he spoke, he became both amused and exasperated, "Wang Song is my biological father. You want to be my stepmother? Don't you feel ashamed?"
“I don’t feel ashamed. They are the ones who are ashamed,” Hu Qing sneered. “As long as Wang Song is willing, we can get a marriage certificate.”
"Get married my ass! Your marriage may be legal, but it violates public order and good morals."
Wang Peng added, "Under normal circumstances, the Civil Affairs Bureau will not issue marriage certificates to former fathers-in-law and daughters-in-law, or mothers-in-law and sons-in-law."
"You're wrong, Wang Song and I are not in a father-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship."
Hu Qing shook her head. "Wang Cheng is just my ex-boyfriend, not my legal husband."
Hearing this, Wang Peng was speechless.
"Sister Qing, there's no need to go to extremes. Leave the revenge to me."
"I'll destroy Brilliant Supermarket and turn Wang Cheng into a pauper. He'll wish he were dead."
"It's easy to get revenge on Li Guifen. I'll find myself a young and beautiful stepmother, and that will drive Li Guifen crazy."
"You're hurting the enemy 800 but also yourself 1200. It's really unnecessary."
Speaking of this, Wang Peng had another headache. There weren't many people who could give him a headache, but Hu Qing was one of them.
Hu Qing grabbed his shoulders. "I'll be your stepmother, or I'll be your lover. You choose one."
"What the hell? Are you fucking crazy?" Wang Peng cursed angrily.
"Yes, I'm sick, I have a mental illness, you can curse me to death." Hu Qing pouted and was about to cry.
"Sister, three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Why are you hanging yourself on this crooked tree?"
"I'm willing, what's it to you?" Hu Qing took out a wet wipe to wipe her tears. "I gave you everything, and you still scold me."
Wang Peng started the car, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and drove for a few minutes before shaking his head.
“My own father won’t fall for your tricks. He might be confused about other things, but not about this. He has a sense of shame.”
An hour later, the car reached the edge of the provincial capital, and Wang Peng slowed down.
"Sister Qing, you should find a good man and settle down. I already have two women, and life is already very difficult."
Hu Qing remained silent, lying on the chair with her eyes closed.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at her home.
“Brother Peng, I’m so unlucky. I can’t meet any good men, only abusive men.”
"Huang Ran is a pathetic impotent man, but he was all might and mighty when he hit me. Wang Cheng is even worse; he not only hit me, but he also tortured me."
"In my world, you are the only good man. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for?"
After finishing her sentence in one breath, Hu Qing gave a bitter smile.
"Good my foot! Have you ever seen a good man keeping a mistress on the side?" Wang Peng said self-deprecatingly.
He took Hu Qing downstairs and called Du Lei and Dong Shishi.
They were shocked to learn that Hu Qing had invested 500,000 yuan in her brother and rushed to Hu Qing's house.
Du Lei whispered, "Brother Peng, with this 500,000, we already have a million. We won't need that much to rebuild Brother Supermarket."
Dong Shishi said, "Sister Qing invested 500,000, Sister Mengjiao invested 300,000, Uncle Wang Song invested 100,000, and Sister Mingzhu's parents, uncle and we are all shareholders."
Wang Peng asked Hu Qing, "Will you invest 400,000 yuan first, and keep 100,000 yuan for living expenses?"
Hu Qing shook her head, "I'll give you all the money, and I'll rely on you to support me from now on."
“Brother Peng,” Du Lei said, “if the insurance compensation is approved, it will be another hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, which is more than enough to cover.”
Wang Peng scoffed, "The second Brilliant Store has the best business. Let's rent a place near the second store."
"Huh?" Du Lei exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, we're going to open two stores at once?"
Wang Peng nodded, "Opening two stores at once means I need to take care of Huihuang and Wang Cheng."
Just then, his phone rang, and Wang Peng answered it.
"Xiao Peng, right? I'm Li Keyong. Zhang Jinzhu wants to see you."
