Chapter 59: 【059】90s cook 59

Meng Xiuying nodded shyly, "Yes, my parents are coming to Beijing to make decisions on my behalf. This morning, after I left the police station, I nervously called them. I thought they would scold me and then hang up after getting through. Indeed, I was scolded, but they did it while crying. They said they had been finally waiting for my call and thought that I would never contact them again. Not long after my mom finished speaking, my brother took the phone. He complained about various things, but in the end, they started asking if I was doing well."

Hearing this, Gong Mingxia guessed what happened next. She had prepared a boxed meal for Meng Xiuying and took the baby from her, signaling her to eat first.

"Couldn’t you start the conversation, but when you saw they still cared about you, you couldn’t help but spill your situation?"

Tears welled in Meng Xiuying’s eyes as she nodded, "Yes, not only my parents but my brother and sister-in-law are coming too. They all want to make decisions for me. This time I won’t let things go so easily, but the Liu Family won’t let me off easily either. Tonight I will find a hotel to stay in, to avoid causing trouble at your place."

"What are your plans for the next few days? Are the police still going to question you?"

Meng Xiuying shook her head, "I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Now it’s all about the investigation, which I don’t need to be involved with. They will conduct the inquiry on their own. As far as I know, the Liu Family doesn’t have any relatives in the public, prosecution, and law sectors. However, being locals, the Old Lady might get detained for two or three days. As long as it’s clear she wasn’t in cahoots with her son, they will release her. If she gets out, I won’t have any peace. But his second brother is a scoundrel too, so I can’t go to your place anymore. But sister, can you do me a favor? I need to retrieve all my clothes and documents from the Liu Family, but I’m afraid to go back. Could you come with me?"

"Indeed, if you can’t get your documents back, you won’t be able to stay in a hostel. Okay, I’ll go with you. Now hurry up and eat. If this matter gets resolved smoothly, you might be able to return to Beijing. By the way, have you transferred your household registration here?"

Meng Xiuying blushed and shook her head, "No, I haven’t transferred my household registration. It was very difficult even to get a marriage certificate, let alone think about transferring. But now, in hindsight, luckily I didn’t transfer. And thankfully, my child isn’t on the household registration either, or we would have been left homeless."

"Your Beijing household registration is much more precious than one from H City, so I’m also relieved you didn’t transfer. Who has the keys to your house?"

"Me, my mother-in-law, Liu Xueliang,"

"Are you sure no one else has them?"

Meng Xiuying shook her head, "I can’t be sure because my mother-in-law dotes on the second son, and it’s not impossible that she gave him a set. Now that none of us are home, the house—"

Meng Xiuying suddenly became anxious but then scoffed self-deprecatingly, "Right now, I just want to take some clothes and my documents. I don’t want anything else. The house has already been sold anyway, and we have to move out by the end of this month. It’s a school-district housing, and the new owner wants to move in before September 1st."

"How much did they sell it for? Is it enough to pay off the debts? Apart from the house, didn’t you get anything else from the marriage? Like some jewelry or something?"

Meng Xiuying’s gaze grew dimmer, "Nothing, I got nothing. The house was bought with Liu Xueliang’s own earnings. Actually, he is quite capable, it’s just a pity he’s not very decisive and listens to his mom’s every word—whatever she tells him to do, he does, and he is also good to his brother. Altogether, I am the true outsider in that family. After giving birth to a daughter, I mattered even less!"
