The news of Ke La's arrest reached Li Haoyuan's ears two days later.

When he heard the news, Li Haoyuan had just returned from his future daughter-in-law's house.

At that time, he had just finished boasting to his future mother-in-law, and under her repeated urging, he promised to send the betrothal gift within half a month.

In his previous life, he heard Wan An Ning talk about the specific process of how she earned her first pot of gold, so he knew that after Ke La took the money, he would be able to make his investment back soon, so he was not worried about not being able to pay the bride price at that time.

After returning home, his mother Liu Wumei looked at him with a bitter face: "Sanwa, your uncle and his family just came here to ask for money... Look, why don't you return the money to them..."

When Li Haoyuan tricked her brothers from her natal family into borrowing money, she thought he was going to use the money as a betrothal gift.

But as Li Haoyuan borrowed more and more money from others, the amount far exceeded the amount of the betrothal gift, and she began to feel more and more uneasy. It always felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, often making it hard for her to breathe.

Li Haoyuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and said impatiently: "Why are you urging them? It's not like I won't pay them back. Didn't I tell you to pay them back in a few days? Now the money has been invested. How can I get it back before the time comes? You are all petty and have no patience at all. How can you make a lot of money?"

Liu Wumei's face was embarrassed, her lips moved slightly, and she stammered for a long time before saying, "Your uncle and his family are also worried... After all, it's not a small amount of money. If there is any accident, it will cut off their livelihood!"

"What is there to worry about? Didn't I tell them? I'll give them double the interest when we make money. They agreed to it. It's only been a short time, but they're already here to urge us to pay them back. They're just like wild boars that can't eat fine bran. They don't know how to make money even if they have it."

Li Haoyuan looked down on his uncles in his heart. When he got married in his previous life and had no dowry, he went to borrow money from them, but they all just cried poor and were unwilling to lend him a penny. As a result, the two families even quarreled to the point of severing the relationship.

After he married into Wan An Ning's family and their lives became better, they came to him with flattering faces to acknowledge him as their relative, as if they had smelled meat.

Li Haoyuan despised such people who changed with the wind the most. If his family had not been penniless when he was reborn and he needed some capital in order to make his first pot of gold like Wan An Ning, he would never have asked his uncles to borrow money.

Now, less than a month after lending the money, people come to collect the debt one after another. It’s so annoying!

Li Haoyuan decided that after he made the money this time, apart from the betrothal gift and the money owed to his uncles and other relatives and friends, the remaining money should be enough for him to go to the south to pan for gold again like Wan An Ning did in his previous life. He decided that after paying back the money to his uncles this time, he would never borrow money from them again, nor would he take them with him to make money.

Thinking of this, he finally felt better. He ignored Liu Wumei's hesitant expression and parked his bike before saying, "I'm hungry. Go cook."

Just went straight into the house to rest.

Liu Wumei looked gloomy. Ever since Sanwa suddenly fainted and woke up more than a month ago, his personality had changed. He used to be very filial to her, but now he was very impatient when talking to her. He would often start to show his annoyance after just two sentences...

Just like today, she had just mentioned that several of his uncles came to ask for money, and before she even mentioned that several people in the village who had borrowed money from him also came to ask for money, he got impatient and lost his temper, and didn't even let her finish her words, and went straight into the house.

Liu Wumei wiped her eyes silently, scooped some noodles and went to the kitchen to cook for Li Haoyuan.

……

Li Haoyuan was squatting at the door of the main room eating noodles, sighing in his heart that the food in his own home was indeed not as good as that in Wan An Ning's home. The new friend he met after his rebirth came to find him.

"Jinfeng, why are you here? Have you eaten? I just made noodles at home, come in and have a bowl."

Wan Jinfeng waved his hand: "No, I was just about to go home, and I happened to pass by your village. I thought you were quite interested in Ke La in our village a while ago, so I came to tell you..."

When Li Haoyuan heard that it was about Ke La, he immediately became excited, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "You are talking about Ke La, I had a drink with him the day before yesterday, he is indeed a capable person, if he tells you that there is a project for you to invest in, if you have some spare money, you can consider it and invest a little bit..."

Before Li Haoyuan finished speaking, Wan Jinfeng swallowed nervously and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, absolutely not. Haoyuan, I tell you, you must not believe Kola's Zhang. He is a liar and never tells the truth."

"It doesn't matter whether he's telling the truth or not, as long as he can help us make money, why bother about the rest?"

Li Haoyuan had no plans to deal with Kela for a long time, he just wanted to use him to make some money first. As for the future, he still had to go to the south to pan for gold.

Hearing him say this, Wan Jinfeng's eyes flickered a few times, and there was also a bit of pity in his eyes when he looked at Li Haoyuan: "Haoyuan, you haven't already given the money to Kela?"

Although Li Haoyuan deliberately made friends with Wan Jinfeng, he didn't want to tell Wan Jinfeng everything, so he shook his head and said, "No, you've seen the situation at home. We are broke, how can we have the money to give him?"

Wan Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's great. You don't know, I was really worried that you had given the money to Ke La. If that's the case, then it's really over..."

"Hmm?" Li Haoyuan felt something was wrong. "What are you begging for? Can you tell me what happened in detail?"

Wan Jinfeng sighed, "You don't know, Kela was arrested the day before yesterday morning... Those people were carrying guns, murderous, Kela was shot in the shoulder and leg, and was dragged away. Until now, there has been no news from the village, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive... Fortunately, you didn't give him the money. If you did, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog. You won't be able to get it back even if you want it!"

Li Haoyuan's legs went weak and he lost hold of the bowl in his hand. He had only taken a few bites of the noodles when all of them spilled onto his feet.

He didn't care about these things. He just looked at Wan Jinfeng with his eyes wide open, confirming again and again: "Are you telling the truth? Ke La... was really arrested?"

Wan Jinfeng nodded: "Of course it's true. I tell you, many people in the village saw it. He was shot twice and taken away. He was covered in blood. It was so scary. Even our village chief was so scared that he fell on his back..."

Wan Jinfeng vividly described the scene when Ke La was arrested that morning, but Li Haoyuan was no longer in the mood to listen to it. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and there were only two words in his mind: "It's over!"

After Wan Jinfeng left, Liu Wumei came out of the house and looked at Li Haoyuan, who was covered in dirt but didn't notice it at all. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She pushed Li Haoyuan, who was still in a daze, and said in a sharp voice, "Tell me the truth, did you give all the borrowed money to that liar?"

Li Haoyuan woke up with a start, reached out to cover Liu Wumei's mouth, and led her into the house.

"Mom, can you please speak a little more quietly? Why are you speaking so loudly?"

Liu Wumei insisted: "Tell me the truth, did you give all the money you lent to your uncle and the villagers to that liar?"

Li Haoyuan remained silent. He was very confused and didn't know how to tell Liu Wumei.

In Liu Wumei's view, his silence meant consent.

"Wow... Oh my god, why is my life so miserable..."

She couldn't help crying out loud: "You little bastard, you are so useless. Let me explain to your uncle and others. How can I visit my relatives in my mother's house in the future..."
