Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 825 - 820: The Money Is Gone, But a Life Remains

Xu He knows that Zhiming is another Achilles' heel of Zhou Yunmei. After all, she has two sons under her name, and Luo Zhiyong is not her biological child. Moreover, Xu He also knows that Luo Zhiyong does not have a good relationship with her now, so she naturally values Zhiming more.

She smiled triumphantly and said to Zhou Yunmei, "Then hand over the money cheerfully."

Zhou Yunmei gritted her teeth, thinking about the cash on her body. She knew she might have to suffer a financial loss today, but she still tried to make a dying struggle, pretending convincingly, "But that money is really not on me. I don't have much money on me now, just tens of dollars in my pocket."

"Humph, it seems like Zhou Yunmei, you truly won't cry until you see the coffin, treating money as more important than life." Xu He looked at Zhou Yunmei, her eyes suddenly turning cold, and her expression becoming more vicious than before. She stared at Zhou Yunmei and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me. Keeping you alive doesn't benefit me."

After finishing her sentence, Xu He searched around the room, and later found a kitchen knife somehow. The knife was aimed at Zhou Yunmei, and the sharp edge would make anyone shiver.

Moreover, Xu He's expression at this time was not just scaring Zhou Yunmei; she truly planned to eliminate Zhou Yunmei. Even Zhou Yunmei, who loved money, chose life when confronted with the gleaming sharp blade, hurriedly saying, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll give you money."

"Speak."

Zhou Yunmei gritted her teeth and finally revealed where the money was hidden, "Besides the tens of dollars in my outer pocket, I have over two thousand yuan, I'll give it all to you, just don't kill me."

"Where's the money?" Honestly, Xu He was puzzled to hear that Zhou Yunmei kept over two thousand yuan on her. She couldn't figure out where it was hidden. She had searched all possible places on Zhou Yunmei's body this whole night.

Just then, Zhou Yunmei looked down at herself and whispered, "There are two hundred hidden in the lining of my camisole, and the other two thousand stitched inside my underpants. You'll know when you feel it."

Sewn inside the underpants? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This way of hiding money is truly peculiar; Xu He hadn't thought of it. You know, two thousand yuan folded together is quite bulky, sewn in such a place would be uncomfortable for walking, nobody usually does this.

After hearing Zhou Yunmei's explanation, Xu He immediately went to search for the money. She pressed down on Zhou Yunmei's body and indeed felt an unusually bulging place. Her hand slipped into Zhou Yunmei's pants and easily found the bundle of money, but her hand inadvertently touched a certain place under Zhou Yunmei's body. Disgusted, Xu He pulled the money out and wiped her hand with a towel, cursing, "You old hag, so cunning to hide money in such an inconspicuous place."

Watching Xu He take away the two thousand yuan, Zhou Yunmei felt as if her heart was bleeding, but what could she do? Between money and life, she naturally could only choose life.

However, she genuinely regretted it now, knowing she should have stayed honestly with Zhiming at the guesthouse. Even if Dashan forced her to divorce tomorrow, at least the money would be in her hand.

And she regretted even more that knowing she couldn't get this money, she should've never offended Luo Zhiyong and his wife nor had a fallout with Dashan. If she hadn't been greedy at first, she would still be living steadily with Dashan. Though not wealthy, life would be stable.

At this moment, she truly lamented her past decisions.

Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world, and no matter who makes a mistake, they will certainly face the punishment or retribution they deserve.

However, even with that over two thousand yuan, Xu He was still not satisfied. She counted the money, calculated slightly, and continued to press Zhou Yunmei, "You took more than this from me before, where is the remaining money?"

The remaining money wasn't with Zhou Yunmei; she had deposited the money in a bank, putting the bankbook in a large bag at the guesthouse. Because she left hurriedly, she hadn't brought the bag out, but she wasn't worried. She knew Zhiming would definitely bring it to her. Besides, even if the bankbook wasn't there, it was in her name, and no one else could withdraw the money.

Of course, to Xu He, Zhou Yunmei wouldn't admit this. She immediately said, "It's been so long, of course I've spent the remaining money. You wouldn't understand how Zhiming and I lived after you left..."

Xu He knew it couldn't be true, interrupting Zhou Yunmei, yelling, "Don't give me that poverty talk, were you eating ginseng and bird's nests every day or what to spend so much money? Do you have money hidden somewhere else?"

"No, the money was truly spent." Zhou Yunmei spoke firmly.

Seeing this, Xu He resorted to her previous tactic, picking up the kitchen knife again and brandishing it at Zhou Yunmei, "Zhou Yunmei, the knife is still here, do you really think I'm afraid to act?"

"If you want to act, go ahead. Even if you kill me today, I can't bring out the money." This time, Zhou Yunmei showed real defiance because she knew Xu He wouldn't find anything, making her less afraid.

"You..." Xu He didn't know what to say, glaring at Zhou Yunmei, thinking about what to do next.

Seeing Xu He's hesitation, Zhou Yunmei seized the opportunity to take the lead. She shouted at Xu He, "The money's gone, but I have a life. Do what you think is best; if you really want to kill me, do it."

Zhou Yunmei's resolute attitude really made Xu He hesitate. She knew Zhou Yunmei must have not spent all that money, but if Zhou Yunmei refused to give it up even in death, Xu He couldn't do anything. Killing her would be a troublesome affair.

As Xu He hesitated, suddenly there's a knock on the door from outside, "Is anyone home?"

A man's voice, Zhou Yunmei found it unfamiliar and couldn't tell who it was, but Xu He immediately knew.

The person she waited for finally arrived, today indeed was lucky. First, she got the money, and now someone who could help her revenge showed up.

Thinking thus, Xu He grinned and went to open the door, responding, "Yes, I'm here. Coming."

Opening the door, Xu He saw Liu Fengsheng standing there. Judging from Liu Fengsheng's expression, Xu He knew he must bring good news. Observing the surroundings and seeing no one else, she nodded at Liu Fengsheng, "Come in and talk."

"This..." Following her suggestion, Liu Fengsheng entered the room but immediately halted seeing the scene, adhering to his principle of not stirring up more trouble, he wanted to leave immediately, "What happened here? Maybe we should discuss outside."
