Chapter 159

Zhao Guifen wished she could grind these words between her teeth, glaring at Bai Xiuxiu with pure hatred.

If it weren't for Bai Xiuxiu's fault, would she and the old man have to deal with this mess?

Their family had been living a peaceful life until Bai Xiuxiu started causing trouble, and since then, everything had gone downhill.

No matter what, she couldn’t let this little wench live comfortably.

Even if she went in and her life was over, at least the old man could still avenge her.

"Auntie, you're being too vicious. I've never seen such a cruel old lady before."

Yang Chuanwu was shocked by Zhao Guifen’s words.

This old lady is too ruthless?

The old ladies in the village are not to be trifled with.

The others present also began to feel uneasy.

Those who had wives felt even more anxious.

Could a wife and mother-in-law really end up like this?

It seems that from now on, they shouldn’t pretend not to see their arguments. If it gets to this point, life would become unbearable.

Zhao Guifen remained silent after being spoken to.

Seeing that he wouldn’t get any more information, Chen Zhuangshi turned to Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe: "We'll follow your lead on this. What should we do next?"

Wang Qinghe didn’t hesitate: "Report it to the authorities. Send them all to the police station. Kidnappers are the most despicable."

"Alright. You few come with us; we’ll go to the police station. Wang Shoucheng, you need to come along too.

This is your wife, and our questioning won’t be enough. We need to report it first, and then the authorities will handle it. As for the rest of you, disperse.

This incident was unexpected. I didn’t expect it to be Zhao Guifen looking for people, but regardless of who it was, Bai Xiuxiu, you’ve done us a great service by helping catch the kidnappers.

No one can take credit away from you."

Chen Zhuangshi publicly credited Bai Xiuxiu for the achievement.

He had discussed this with his wife beforehand, and indeed, Bai Xiuxiu had taken the initiative to risk herself to catch the kidnappers.

"Alright, let’s go report it."

Wang Shoucheng led a group away from the assembly hall. Seeing that the rest of the Wang family was still stunned, Chen Jinhua urged them to leave.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and go."

"Yes, Auntie Jinhua is right. We should leave now," Zhou Jiaojiao spoke softly, feeling a bit regretful.

Clearly, both the old couple were involved. It would have been better if the father-in-law had been implicated too.

Then they could have separated the household, and these people wouldn’t be able to leech off her anymore.

She could then bring Wang Qingqi to stay with her parents. After all, her black market business needed someone to help.

It would be better to let her family leech off her than her in-laws.

Zhou Jiaojiao felt regretful but kept quiet.

Zhao Cuihua found it terrifying that when things got serious, the old couple pushed the blame onto the mother alone.

What if they pushed her out in the future?

She realized that in this family, only those who were useful could live well.

Once she saved enough money to buy a job for her husband, she would quickly separate the household!

The family returned home in silence.

With Wang Qingqi’s parents taken away, he seemed to lose his backbone, listless and dejected.

Seeing him lie down on the bed as soon as he entered the room, Zhou Jiaojiao sneered: "You can still lie down? Your father is heartless, pushing all the blame onto your mother.

Last time, he also pushed the responsibility for compensation onto my family.

I bet if our business gets into trouble, he’d push it onto us too."

Wang Qingqi curled up, sounding impatient: "What good does it do to say this now? Our parents are already in this state.

Mom has always been good to me..."

"So what? It wasn’t me who made them do this. In the future, when people find out your mother was involved with kidnappers, our family’s reputation will be ruined.

I say we should separate the household.

Then you and I can go live with my parents, and they can help us with the work."

Zhou Jiaojiao took the opportunity to persuade her husband.

Wang Qingqi was tempted but still reluctant.

Isn't that just like being a "son-in-law by marriage"?

"Wife, how can they be as reliable as my own brothers? As long as Dad is around, our family won't fall apart. It's just a pity that if this had worked out, I could have taken over Big Brother's job.

Big Brother works at the canned food factory in the county, and I work at the commune's factory.

There's quite a difference between the two. I heard their salaries are higher than mine, and they even get gifts during holidays.

And there's also that house...

I've been thinking about it ever since you mentioned it."

Wang Qingqi felt more and more upset as he spoke. Why couldn't they be more capable?

"This might not work out, but it doesn't mean we can't still get the house and the job. I heard from Brother Hu that those traffickers all have leaders.

If they put these three away, the others will surely settle accounts."

Zhou Jiaojiao thought it was necessary to mention this to Brother Hu. He was now a powerful figure, and who knows what the future holds.

Her dreams were strange; she always dreamed of a good life in the future but never saw the process.

"Let's just wait and see."

After saying this, Zhou Jiaojiao got up and left. Seeing her husband lying on the bed doing nothing made her anger boil over.

It was better not to see him at all!

If it weren't for that beautiful future, she wouldn't tolerate this!

In the kitchen, Liu Xiaoe was cooking, her eyes swollen from crying.

Just as she was crying hard, Zhou Jiaojiao came over.

Seeing Zhou Jiaojiao, Liu Xiaoe wiped away another tear.

Zhou Jiaojiao looked at her with some confusion: "Second Sister-in-Law, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I just feel wronged. In the past, we took turns cooking. But somehow, this task ended up being mine.

When the in-laws were home, they always ordered me around.

Today, they finally aren't here, but who knew your Second Brother would make me cook again.

He said since Mom and Dad aren't home, he's the older brother and I'm the sister-in-law, so I should take care of you.

Sounds nice, but it's really because I can't give him a son."

Liu Xiaoe spoke sadly.

Looking at the silent Zhou Jiaojiao, she then said hopefully: "Jiaojiao, you're so lucky. Your family members all have sons. Can you help me?"

"What's the problem? As long as Second Sister-in-Law treats me well, you'll have a son. All my sisters-in-law had sons like that.

By the way, Second Sister-in-Law, I want to go to the mountains tomorrow. Just the two of us, secretly.

You go to the mountains directly, and I'll sneak over from the black market.

We'll meet up in the mountains. If we find something good, I'll give you one-third. How about that?"

Zhou Jiaojiao whispered to her.

Liu Xiaoe was both excited and scared.

The idea of splitting the loot between the two of them was tempting. But... going to the mountains with Old Fifth's wife?

That would require some serious luck!
