Chapter: 4818
"'The police said they seem to be involved in some kind of money laundering... and they're going to seize all our assets, including the house and cars... Mom, what should we do?...'"
Mei Yujuan suddenly felt as if her soul was being pulled away, fell weakly onto the chair, and became extremely anxious while also slapping her face uncontrollably, muttering in a daze: "Wake up... this is just a nightmare... this must be a dream..."
But that stinging sensation from the slap on her face felt incredibly clear, not at all like it was in a dream.
Her heart grew even more desperate, and she became like a zombie wandering aimlessly.
On the phone, her eldest daughter-in-law was crying uncontrollably: "Mom... think of a way! We're counting on you right now! You need to go back and smooth things out for them as soon as possible..."
"What do you mean by 'smooth things out'?" Mei Yujuan exclaimed in horror, blurting out: "I haven't been home in over 20 years, and I've only gone back less than 10 times. When I got back, no one recognized me, and my money was all frozen. How can I smooth things out?"
"Ah?!" her eldest daughter-in-law suddenly broke down in tears, wailing: "What if they really get sentenced to 10 or 18 years... how are we going to take care of our children then?"
Mei Yujuan thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Listen to me now, quickly move all the valuable things out of the house, think of a way to withdraw their savings from the bank, and in short, grab as much money as you can before it's too late!"
"Oh?!" her eldest daughter-in-law suddenly exclaimed: "I'm not brave enough! The police have already said so, and if I were to do something outside now, that would be illegal, and when they find out, I'll end up in jail too! Who goes to jail, I won't go either, I still have four kids!"
Mei Yujuan scolded: "The police are just trying to intimidate you, what's there to be afraid of? I'm telling you, if all this money is frozen, you can't even pay for your children's milk powder and tuition fees! Will you then take your kids out onto the street?"
Her eldest daughter-in-law began crying and said: "They'll surely leave us a house to live in, won't they?! Can't just kick us out like that?"
Mei Yujuan gritted her teeth: "I'm telling you, if this is really money laundering, nothing will be left in this household! You don't want to spend the rest of your life living in poverty from now on, so do it quickly as I say!"
Her eldest daughter-in-law exclaimed: "I dare not... even if you kill me, I won't do it..."
As she spoke, she hurriedly said: "Older sister-in-law is right here, why don't you talk to her? See if she dares or not."
The phone beside the second daughter-in-law suddenly blurted out: "You're not brave enough, and I'm even less so!"
As she spoke, she cried and wailed: "Let them freeze whatever they want! It's been many years since I've done anything illegal or disorderly, the police won't possibly take me away either."
Her eldest daughter-in-law heard this and chimed in: "That's right... we're just two old women, besides giving birth to children, nursing children, and raising children, we haven't done anything else, and the police won't do anything to us either!"
Mei Yujuan listened to this and her inner anger surged up, she almost wanted to rush back there and cut down those two daughter-in-laws.
"She was tightly biting her molars and speaking in a cold, derisive tone: 'I've raised you two for so many years, never expecting that I'd be raising two wolves! If you two don't do what I say, wait until I get back to the country, I'll take care of you first!'"
"The second daughter-in-law was shocked and her face turned white. Although she didn't know what her mother-in-law had been doing in America all these years, every time she saw her, she felt a heavy aura emanating from her, like someone who wasn't good. So when she heard this, her heart was naturally very afraid. She quietly asked the elder daughter-in-law: 'Sister... how are we going to deal with this...?'"
"The elder daughter-in-law was also in a state of panic at that moment. Although she was bold and unafraid, she knew her own worth in her mother-in-law's eyes, not even amounting to a fart."
"But then she quickly thought of something and blurted out: 'Mom, I just realized! Those two sons are involved in money laundering. The money they're making is all from your illegal activities. Are you not doing something illegal or violating the law outside? And isn't that money obtained unethically? If it's ethical, how could the police possibly come to our doorstep?'"
"Mei Yujuan was originally full of indignation and anger, but when she heard this, her entire inner world plummeted like a valley."
"She had just been worried about her own years of hard work and savings, but she had forgotten one thing: that her husband and two sons got involved in the first place probably because her actions had already exposed something here in America."
"If that's the case, then she might never be able to go back home. Otherwise, as soon as she stepped off the plane, she would likely be arrested by the domestic police." JrNovels.com
