Chapter 662 Searching The House

Sun Jian gathered the militiamen from the village to go to Old Madam Li's house to search for Li Gui's money. Based on what Li Gui said, the amount was more than 50 dollars, so he just noted it as 50 dollars.

As long as Old Madam Li handed over 50 dollars, he would not pursue the matter further.

However, ever since Old Madam Li spouted nonsense after being spooked by Li Gui yesterday, she started to behave in a paranoid and crazy manner. Yet, Zhao Hong felt as if her life had become easier.

Now, Old Madam Li only knew how to sit on the brick bed in a daze. If she saw strangers, she would hide in fear and mutter statements asking people not to kill her.

Zhao Hong no longer had to work so hard every day or to burn the midnight oil.

However, Zhao Hong did not have any clues regarding Li Gui's money as well. She had searched everywhere she could think of, but there was no trace of that amount of money.

"Everyone in the house, come out!" Hai Hua held up her shovel and shouted from the Li family's main door.

Zhao Hong walked out nervously and said, "Sister-in-law Hai, what's the matter?"

"We're here to look for the 50 dollars that Li Gui lost. If you have found it, hand it over quickly. Otherwise, we'll have to go in," Hai Hua said.

"Didn't you say that you would give us three days? This is only the first day. Sister-in-law Hai, please be considerate of my situation. My mother-in-law is afraid of outsiders now. Why don't you come back on the third day?" Zhao Hong suggested.

"No! Three days is the timeframe we gave Li Gui. Don't you need to give us time to send the money to Li Gui!" Hai Hua said.

Zhao Hong still wanted to say something, but she could not stop Hai Hua and the militiamen she brought along. They rushed into the courtyard and searched everywhere they could think of!

A few of them even started digging up the soil in the courtyard in various areas. They did not miss out on any spot at all.

Hai Hua even rushed into the house with four other people. Of course, her goal was not to enter the house to do a search, but to take a look at Old Madam Li's miserable state.

"Old Madam Li, do you know who I am?" Hai Hua said with a smile.

Old Madam Li shook her head nervously and said quickly, "I don't know anything… I don't know anything… Don't ask me…"

"Oh, you've really gone crazy. Where did you hide Li Gui's money! I'd advise you to tell me the truth! Otherwise, I'll get people to search your entire house!" Hai Hua said smugly.

Old Madam Li hid in a corner in fear and said with a trembling voice, "Don't kill me… Don't kill me… I'll give you everything… Don't kill me!"

Hai Hua leaned closer and took a closer look at Old Madam Li's pupils and body movements. She was sure that Old Madam Li was not pretending but had really gone crazy.

It seemed that evil people would get what they deserved. This time, she was really doomed.

"Everyone, search carefully. We must find the money today, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves when we go back," Hai Hua said disappointedly to the militiamen.

Hai Hua looked at Old Madam Li sternly. Old Madam Li buried her head between her knees nervously and covered her ears tightly with her hands while saying things like "let me go".

"You did all kinds of evil back then. Now that you're crazy, it's what you deserve! You'd better die soon! I'm still waiting to eat at your funeral banquet when you die!" Hai Hua said to Old Madam Li.

The few of them rummaged through the cabinet and even went through the pockets of all the clothes one by one. Even if it was just a small box, they would open it up to take a look.

After searching the entire house carefully, she did not find where Old Madam Li had hidden the money. Even the people outside did not find anything.

"Sister-in-law, we've already searched the area. There's nothing," one of the militiamen said.

At this moment, the militiamen outside the house also walked into the house and said, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing outside the house either. We've already dug up the ground, but we haven't found anything."

Hai Hua walked around the house and took a closer look. There was not even a single valuable item in the house. It was so empty that she could see everything at a glance. How could the money have flown away by itself?

Hai Hua looked at Zhao Hong in puzzlement and asked, "Is there any other place in your house? Where else can this Old Madam Li hide the money? Can it be hidden in the ceiling?"

Zhao Hong shook her head. If she knew, she would not need to lead such a hard life. No one knew where Old Madam Li hid her money, not even Li Dong.
