Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Over the years, He Youde had always controlled his elder brother and sister-in-law's family. Suddenly, he found himself being manipulated by what he saw as two insignificant ants, which made him feel so nauseous that even the braised pork on the table turned his stomach!

If given the chance, he would make them regret ever coming to him!

"Uncle He, I'm timid and impatient. Could you at least give me some assurance?" Zhou Jiaojiao deliberately provoked his disgust.

Even if He Youde was furious, he couldn't just ignore them, could he?

Eventually, he would vent all his anger on the living Wang Qinghe, thus achieving her goal.

Indeed, He Youde was angry, but years of acting experience kept his emotions tightly under wraps.

He merely smiled. "Don't worry. Uncle He is not an ungrateful person. Whatever you've asked for, Uncle He will take care of it."

First, he needed to stabilize the situation, then eliminate the root cause.

He had to get rid of the one who shouldn't be alive. Only when his elder brother's child was dead could he truly feel at ease.

Otherwise, if the truth came out, he would be finished!

His elder brother could accept losing a child or having an incompetent one, but if he found out that his younger brother had intentionally caused the child's disappearance, it would be disastrous!

With this assurance, Zhou Jiaojiao was satisfied.

She handed over her and Wang Qingqi's identity information.

"Uncle He, you can start now. We'll only return after we hear good news. If not..." Zhou Jiaojiao smiled, leaving her sentence unfinished.

Her demeanor worried He Youde even more.

This was clearly an attempt at extortion.

And he couldn't refuse.

He Youde was extremely distressed.

In the courtyard, Yu Cheng had just heard the situation from the two children and gave each of them a box of candy before excusing himself.

Once free, he immediately contacted Xiao Zhang and asked him to help reach Wang Qinghe.

It took half an hour to finally connect.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Qinghe picked up at the supply store, and Yu Cheng's voice boomed through.

"Qinghe, I got things done for you. They're actually going to He Youde, Uncle He's brother.

You said you have no connection with them? I think you definitely have ties with their family!" Yu Cheng was agitated.

Wang Qinghe frowned. "Can you lower your voice? I don't know what connection they have with the people you mentioned.

However, if anyone has a connection with me, they would come to me themselves."

Wang Qinghe's attitude gave Yu Cheng a hint of his intentions.

Perhaps persistence isn't the way to go?

"By the way, could you tell me more about the person you mentioned? I'm worried about my younger brother and sister-in-law." Wang Qinghe offered a plausible excuse.

Yu Cheng played along and recounted everything about He Youde.

After listening, Wang Qinghe fully understood the current situation there.

It seemed like even heaven was helping him and Xiuxiu.

The waters were about to become murky.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them. By the way, should I mention anything to Uncle He or Aunt Qi? I think she's going to be furious," Yu Cheng recalled the description from the two children and felt sorry for her.

Wang Qinghe didn't refuse.

After hearing the description, he formed a clearer impression of his unseen parents.

Considering his next plan, he agreed. "They won't contact you just once.

If your aunt finds out that the person leeching off their family is being extorted by others, it would be quite interesting, wouldn't it?"

Extortion?

Yu Cheng was shocked. "What? Do you know something?"

Wang Qinghe held the phone away. Yu Cheng was too loud.

When the noise subsided, he continued. "I don't know, but I hope you tell them that.

If it turns out to be false, just say you misunderstood when they confront you."

Yu Cheng still didn't understand what Wang Qinghe was planning, but if what he said was true, perhaps Old He's lost child had something to do with He Youde?

That would be quite something.

All these years, He Youde had leveraged his son's age advantage to claim him as the eldest grandson in front of their patriarch.

Back then, he had told his brother and sister-in-law that his child would be theirs.

If there was any foul play involved, well!

Yu Cheng had already begun to look forward to it.

The courtyard is going to be bustling, right?

Suppressing his excitement at the prospect of gossip, Yu Cheng cleared his throat.

"By the way, I have some good news to tell you!" After finishing the story about the He family, Yu Cheng started talking about his own affairs.

His face was full of joy, and even though they were only talking on the phone, he still wanted to smile: "I'm about to get a wife."

In response, there was silence from Wang Qinghe.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you happy for me getting a wife?" Yu Cheng felt that this reaction wasn't very surprising.

Wang Qinghe wasn't surprised at all, since Yu Cheng's age meant he should have found a wife long ago.

He just hadn't met the right person before.

Now that he had found the right one, Wang Qinghe understood his eagerness to get married.

Wang Qinghe thought for a moment: "Congratulations. Since you've decided to get married so quickly, it must be because you've met the right person."

"Of course, my wife-to-be is someone I know well, and she's hardworking and diligent. Apart from being a little timid, she has no other flaws."

Yu Cheng sounded quite proud.

"Since you now have someone you like, you should be more cautious with our affairs from now on. After all, you're not alone anymore.

You're about to start a family!"

Wang Qinghe reminded Yu Cheng.

No matter how happy Yu Cheng was, Wang Qinghe didn't care, but the matter of the herbs couldn't be taken lightly.

Yu Cheng's happiness vanished instantly.

This person really doesn't know how to talk!

All he thinks about is work.

"Alright, I need to go to work." Wang Qinghe hung up the phone after saying this and then paid the bill.

After their call, Yu Cheng and Wang Qinghe didn't hear any news for three days.

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe continued working as usual. There had been quite a few things to do at the neighborhood office recently, but due to Director Wang's recent attitude, efficiency had actually improved.

So everyone was getting off work earlier than usual.

On this particular day, as soon as Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe returned home with the child, they encountered the mailman delivering a package.

"Is this the residence of Comrade Bai Xiuxiu?" The mailman asked them, holding a letter and a package.

"Yes, this is the place."

"This is from Wei Qiushuang."

The mailman confirmed several times with Bai Xiuxiu before handing over the package.

They took the package home, which contained some clothes and daily necessities, along with cloth coupons and industrial coupons.

The content of the letter made Bai Xiuxiu quite excited.
