Chapter 194

Wang Qingqi's impatient attitude made Zhou Jiaojiao explode instantly, and she started questioning him hysterically: "What kind of attitude is this? Who am I doing all this for? Isn't it for the sake of this family, for you and me?

Isn't it hard to seize such an opportunity?

Wang Qingqi, do you have any conscience? How long have I been married to you? Didn't you say I would be happy with you?

Since I married you, not only have I not been happy, but you even dare to yell at me.

Do you even understand what's important?

Years of hard work at that factory won't be as useful as one trip to the provincial capital!"

Zhou Jiaojiao tried hard to recall the splendid scene from her dream, or else she wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.

Why was Wang Qingqi so different from the scene in her dream!

Wang Qingqi felt guilty when Zhou Jiaojiao spoke: "I, my dear, I know you're right. But you should also understand me. You came all the way here to pick me up, and I thought you missed me and wanted to take a walk home together.

But then you just started bombarding me with arrangements.

I'm still a person."

Zhou Jiaojiao sobbed softly, sneering inwardly at his words.

Such a useless man, what good was he? If he couldn't make her as happy as in her dream, why live?

"Qingqi, I'm just anxious. I'm afraid you'll miss this opportunity and be stuck like this forever. Now that we've fallen behind Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu, will we always be behind? Do you want him to find out the truth and come back to take revenge?

What if they really come looking for their son here?

Shouldn't we act first before that happens?"

While coaxing him, Zhou Jiaojiao also scared him.

A few words were enough to fool Wang Qingqi again.

Thinking of his elder brother, Wang Qingqi felt terrified.

Before he knew the truth, he thought his father could control his elder brother forever.

Now that he knew the truth, he worried about whether his elder brother might seek revenge.

The whole family tied together couldn't beat him. What if he decided to kill them all?

The name Wang Qinghe was like a sword hanging over his head, making him fear for his life.

He shivered: "My dear, please stop talking. I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do it. I'll follow your instructions."

"Then you should take leave tomorrow, and we'll go to the provincial capital immediately. Once there, you must follow my lead. My luck is much better than yours, so the chances of success are higher if I handle it. Whatever needs to be said or done, follow my lead."

Zhou Jiaojiao decisively moved the date forward. The provincial capital was where she would transform into a phoenix!

Apart from the two people who stole the child, she could also pin the blame on her father-in-law.

With so many scapegoats, she and Wang Qingqi could surely build a good relationship with the couple who lost their child.

Zhou Jiaojiao now felt she had endless energy.

Hearing they were leaving tomorrow, Wang Qingqi became even more depressed. But he didn't dare contradict his wife anymore. Since the family owed money to his elder brother, his wife's temper had grown worse. The Wang family couldn't do without her, and he couldn't really anger her.

Looking at Zhou Jiaojiao, Wang Qingqi began to feel afraid.

"My dear, is black market trading reliable? Today, someone from our factory was taken away. They said he was speculating and profiteering. Does that apply to us? I..."

Wang Qingqi was very conflicted.

Their family secretly collected other people's grain, made delicious food, and sold it outside. They also sold fine grains at high prices to those who couldn't get them in the city.

Doesn't that count?

"What nonsense are you talking? We're doing legitimate business!" Zhou Jiaojiao wasn't afraid at all. She was lucky; several people had been caught recently, but she was fine.

Besides, Brother Hu had said those people were later released. Yunjiu Novels

As long as they were careful, there would be no problem.

"My dear, how about we stop after we return from the provincial capital?" Wang Qingqi was genuinely scared. If Zhou Jiaojiao got caught, it wouldn't just affect her; he might lose face and even be arrested.

What if he lost his job too?

Without a job, without his wife, without money, without dignity.

He couldn't imagine how they would survive.

"Look at your wimpy self. Just listen to me." Zhou Jiaojiao gave him a disdainful look, neither explaining nor assuring him.

Seeing she wouldn't listen, Wang Qingqi had no choice.

When they returned to the Wang family home, the meal had just been laid out, but no one had sat down yet.

Upon entering, Zhou Jiaojiao saw Liu Xiaoe with her bruised eyes and sneered: "Second Sister-in-Law."

Liu Xiaoe looked at her resentfully. It was all Zhou Jiaojiao's fault. If not for her saying she would have a child and misleading her, she wouldn't have gone to Old Man Zhang with her husband. After finding out she wasn't pregnant, she was beaten by her husband.

It was all Zhou Jiaojiao's fault!

Liu Xiaoe ignored her, and Zhou Jiaojiao didn't get angry.

This kind of person is easiest to handle; it's impossible for her to ignore me forever.

Wang Qingqi and the others hadn't been inside long when Wang Qingfu also returned.

After he came back, Wang Shoucheng, who had been staring out the window all along, put on an act and walked out of the room.

Looking at his son and daughters-in-law, he smiled slightly: "Everyone's back? Then let's have dinner."

Wang Shoucheng looked at the weather outside and began to maliciously hope that it would start snowing now. If it snowed early, those people wouldn't find anything good in the mountains. By the time spring came and everyone got busy, they certainly wouldn't have the time to go up the mountain, as they wouldn't dare to take up labor time.

Then, Old Fifth's wife could go up the mountain again.

The loss to the Wang family would be less.

As soon as she sat down, Zhou Jiaojiao brought up the trip to the provincial capital: "Dad, my relatives from the provincial capital sent word, asking Qingqi and me to visit. I thought we should go and see them. Building relationships with our relatives in the provincial capital will be good for our family in the future.

We'll probably be gone for a few days, and Qingqi and I don't have any money..."

Zhou Jiaojiao wasn't actually broke, but for a trip to the provincial capital, she certainly couldn't pay for it herself.

So soon?

Wang Shoucheng was taken aback by her initiative; this was too sudden.

"Old Fifth's wife, do you mean to say you want to use everyone's money? This is your visit to relatives, not ours. Why should we pay?" Zhao Cuihua put down her chopsticks.

Chen Fang, the fourth daughter-in-law, also opposed: "Exactly. Even if you've brought benefits to our family, you can't do this. Without my husband helping you collect grain, what could you do? Don't think it's all your own doing. We're not taking advantage of you for nothing.

Why should the whole family cater to you?"
