Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Qian Meiling asked, "By the way, Zhihua, Second Sister-in-law doesn't have any other intentions, she just wants to show her concern."

"Did you get into any trouble outside?"

"Otherwise, why would you choose to go home at this time?"

Qian Meiling’s meaning is very simple.

Since you are embarrassed to go back to the Li family and have been hiding outside for such a long time.

Why aren't you hiding now?

Hearing this, the others also looked over.

Li Zhihua lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

Father Li comforted him, "Don't be afraid, just say whatever you want to say."

"Xiaodong is a policeman now, I won't let anyone bully you!"

Li Dong also expressed his opinion, "Aunt, you protected me when I was a child."

"Now that my nephew has grown up, from today on, I will protect you!"

"Just tell me what's going on. I won't sit idly by!"

Li Zhihua's eyes were filled with relief. He calmed down and said, "It's nothing..."

"That is... my creditors abroad found out that I had fled back to Tianzhou, so they chased me back from there..."

Second Aunt's face turned pale when she heard this. "What did you say? Those creditors were brought back from abroad?"

Li Zhihua nodded, "Some time ago, they went to the shelter."

"I don't know where those hooligans came from. It looks like they won't give up until they find me."

"Luckily, I didn't go back to the storage center that day, otherwise I would have been arrested by them."

"After that, I didn't dare to go back and kept wandering on the streets."

"I also know that those people must be looking for me in the streets and alleys of Tianzhou."

"So I didn't dare show up during the day and only came out at night."

"Tonight, when I was out picking up bottles, I happened to see the news on TV and learned that Xiaodong is now a policeman."

"So, I just..."

Li Zhihua didn't need to say anything else.

Unable to return to the shelter, Li Zhihua was desperate. He happened to learn that Li Dong had become a policeman, so he went to him.

Li Dong immediately expressed his attitude: "Aunt, don't be afraid."

"It's too late today. I'll go to the shelter tomorrow to ask about the situation and find out who is causing trouble for you."

"Even if they owe money, they cannot use violence to collect it. This is against the law."

"Anyway, you stay at home for the next two days."

"As long as I'm here, no one dares to cause trouble!"

Li Zhihua asked tentatively: "Xiaodong, but aunt owes them money after all."

"If they really come to your house and they know you are a police officer, will they cause you trouble? What if they come to your workplace?"

Li Dong said, "You owe money, but you can't force people to death if they can't pay it back, right?"

"With so many people in our Li family, we can always come up with a solution."

"Aunt, you don't need to worry about me."

Second Aunt couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohua, how much money do you owe those people that you traveled thousands of miles abroad to get it back?"

Li Zhihua hesitated and said, "Not much, just over 10 million..."

Second Aunt's eyes widened and she screamed, "How much? Ten million?"

"Xiaohua, what kind of business are you doing? How can you owe them so much money?"

"How can we pay back this 10 million?"

"Even if everyone in the Li family sells everything they have, we still can't pay them back!"

Father Li said unhappily, "Well, Xiaohua rarely comes home today. It's a happy day, so let's not talk about these things that spoil the fun for now."

"We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. No matter how big the trouble is, there's always a way to solve it."

"No matter how much you owe, you have to let people pay it back slowly."

"It's not like they won't return it. Could it be that they want to force me to death?"

"This is not a foreign country, this is China, no one dares to be so arrogant!"

"No matter what, we are a family."

"Now that Xiaohua has finally returned, the Li family can't just sit back and watch."

"Second brother, do you agree with what I said?"

When asked by his elder brother, Li Zhiqiang could only bite the bullet and say, "That's for sure!"

Father Li said, "Okay, let's not talk about those unhappy things today."

"It's been years since we last met, let's catch up!"

In the following time, the brothers and sisters sat together and talked about the past unconsciously.

Mother Li even cooked a bowl of noodles for Li Zhihua herself.

When Li Zhihua put the food in his mouth, his voice choked again, "Sister-in-law... I have been abroad for so many years... I don't want anything else, but I want this bowl of noodles you made by yourself..."

Mother Li also sighed, "When you come back, you can eat it every day if you want. Sister-in-law will make it for you anytime."

"Okay, take your time eating, I'll get you another bowl."

After saying this, Mother Li wiped her eyes, got up and went into the kitchen.

Seeing his sister wolfing down the food, Mr. Li felt even more guilty.

It was past 9 o'clock and Nian Nian started to complain that she felt a little sleepy.

Li Dong and Song Ci did not stay long and agreed to come back after get off work the next day.

As for Li Zhiqiang and Second Aunt, they did not stay and left with Li Dong.

On the way back, Li Zhiqiang and his second aunt couldn't stop complaining, "You see, we are still called a family, but there are still some differences in our relationship."

"Li Dong can take care of my aunt's affairs."

“Li Dong can also take care of aunt’s affairs.”

"Only in your case, Li Zhiqiang, Li Dong was trying to make excuses and my elder brother also tried to stop him."

Li Zhiqiang said: "Xiaohua has indeed had a hard time these years..."

Qian Meiling's voice suddenly became sharp, "Not easy?"

"When Li Zhihua was enjoying great success abroad, why didn't she think of the Li family?"

"Now that her business has failed and she's in trouble, she only thinks of the Li family?"

"Isn't it easy for her?"

“It’s not easy for me!”

"Li Zhiqiang, let me be frank with you. If your elder brother wants to intervene in Li Zhihua's affairs, then let him do it!"

"Don't expect me to lift a finger on my side!"

Li Zhiqiang said in embarrassment: "After all, she is my sister, and I promised my elder brother..."

Qian Meiling said, "What's wrong with agreeing?"

"Don't you think about it? Those people are collecting debts from abroad. Is this matter that simple?"

"I feel that Li Zhihua is not telling the truth in most cases."

"She must owe more than this!"

Li Zhiqiang was obviously frightened as well, "More than that?"

Qian Meiling said confidently: "That's right! There must be more than that!"

"If we sit back and do nothing when there are fewer people coming and going, we are definitely not human beings."

"But the current situation is that even if all the relatives of the Li family sell everything they have, they still can't fill the huge hole that Li Zhihua owes."

"I can't pay it back anyway, so I might as well let Li Zhihua deny it!"

"Isn't your nephew capable? Then let Li Dong take care of it!"

"With Li Dong protecting us, those people will definitely not dare to cause any loss of life!"

"But if you really pay back the money, then you will drag everyone in our Li family to be buried with Li Zhihua!"

"Xiao Wan will graduate soon and will be looking for a job soon. She will also get married and have children in the future, so she needs money right now."

"Are you going to sell all the houses in your family to settle the account with Li Zhihua?"

"impossible!"

"If you dare to agree, I will jump into the river and commit suicide!"
