Officer Xiao Zhao said, "That’s enough, everyone. Be quiet. We have heard both sides of the story, and since everyone claims to be in the right, provide your evidence. We will verify the truth of the matter afterward. Let the victim speak first. Do you have proof that she actually spent this much of your family’s money?"
Jiang Hongdou yanked at Li Youqing, who was still gazing at Widow Huang with a look of lovestruck pity. She hissed into his ear, "You better get that money back right now, or I’m telling you, your son won’t lift a finger to support you in your old age. If you don't want to end up destitute, keep acting like an idiot. I’m telling you, our son has already spoken—if you keep being this thick-headed, you can wait to be kicked out on the street. That bastard son of yours—Widow Huang has already admitted to your face that he isn't yours. You only have one son left. If you want everyone to turn their backs on you, go ahead and keep favoring her."
Li Youqing opened his mouth to protest, but the words wouldn't come out. He stammered, "I didn't... that’s not it."
