Chapter 237

Qi Yingying was choked up by her daughter's attitude.

But thinking of the matter at hand, she still coaxed her gently: "Alright, then help your mom with something. Go to the courtyard and find Yu Cheng. Ask him to help me look into a family."

Qi Yingying told her daughter about Old Wang's family.

Upon hearing this, He Wei felt annoyed: "You really went looking for a son? You must be crazy. I'm telling you, these past few days, it's been my third aunt cooking at our place. That house is now all about Uncle Three, Aunt Three, and their son He Tian!

If this goes on, we won't even need to go back."

After saying this, He Wei was about to hang up.

"Wei Wei, wait, don't hang up," Qi Yingying called out nervously.

Then she tried to explain: "Mom is doing this for you, He Ming, and He Cheng. Listen to Mom and help me with this. Think about it, when has Mom ever lied to you? Every time, wasn't it for your sake?"

Qi Yingying's gentle words made He Wei hesitate for a moment.

That was true.

Although her mother nagged all day, she was still good to them.

Before she started dating, she and her mother had a pretty good relationship.

Thinking of her beloved, He Wei's mood worsened.

Ji Feng has been getting too close to Huihui from Uncle Three's family lately, always praising her and even buying her a watch.

He never bought anything for her, even though she is his girlfriend.

Thinking about this, He Wei's tone became even worse: "Alright, I get it. I'll go find him right away, okay? When you come back, make sure to kick Uncle Three's family out immediately. I don't want to see Huihui anymore."

With that, she hung up.

Huihui?

Qi Yingying was stunned. What about Huihui? Could it be that while she was away, the He Youde family let their Huihui bully her Wei Wei?

The thought of it made Qi Yingying feel terrible. She dazedly took the money and left.

She stumbled as she was about to leave.

Xiao Tan helped her up, noticing her pale face and feeling concerned: "Sister Qi, you haven't been yourself these past two days, and now you look even worse. Is everything alright at home? If you have any troubles, why not talk to me?

Maybe I can help."

Xiao Tan couldn't understand what Sister Qi had to be unhappy about given her circumstances.

"It's nothing, I just miss our Wei Wei," Qi Yingying found an excuse, but in her heart, she was more determined than ever to recognize Wang Qinghe as her son.

If Wang Qinghe is her son, it would be her luck. If not, she must still recognize him.

She cannot let the He Youde family ruin her three children.

At the Wutong Street Office.

Bai Xiuxiu was working when she saw Zhao Cuihua, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, standing outside.

She stood there for a while, looking anxious but hesitant to come in.

Seeing her state, Bai Xiuxiu guessed something urgent must have happened, so she called out and went out.

As soon as she came out, Zhao Cuihua ran over: "Sister-in-law, you're finally here. I've been freezing for a while."

"Sister-in-law of the third, what's the rush?" Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.

"Isn't it obvious? Sister-in-law, can we find a place first? I came early this morning and haven't eaten yet." Zhao Cuihua remembered the buns she had eaten before and also didn't want her son to freeze.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at the child in her arms and nodded: "Sure, let's go to the state-owned restaurant again."

Bai Xiuxiu took her to the restaurant and ordered buns, along with a hot soup for her.

Only then did she ask: "Sister-in-law of the third, what brings you here today?"

After eating a bun, Zhao Cuihua began: "Sister-in-law, early this morning, Old Wang's family went back to the village to get letters of introduction."

"Letters of introduction?" Bai Xiuxiu had a hunch.

"Yes, they're planning to go to the provincial capital. They say they have a relative there who arranged jobs for Zhou Jiaojiao and Old Fifth. I don't think this story holds water. Our family didn't have it easy a few years ago.

Why didn't they come knocking for better jobs back then?

Why wait until now?

I feel like there's something fishy going on."

The more Zhao Cuihua spoke, the more convinced she became.

Listening to her, Bai Xiuxiu could already guess what Zhou Jiaojiao was up to. She wanted to provoke the He Youde family into a desperate move?

"Sister-in-law, do you think... what could they be up to?" Zhao Cuihua saw that Bai Xiuxiu wasn't about to share her thoughts and felt a bit anxious.

Her main purpose today was to find out the real intentions of Old Wang's family from Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu's mind was much sharper than hers.

Hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu smiled at her. "Who knows? If there's any benefit, you should take it. If something bad happens, it should be Old Fifth, his wife, and our father’s responsibility."

"You're right. I find their constant scheming quite frightening."

"Third Sister-in-law, I'll go back first. You can eat slowly here. Finish up early and don't stay out too long; it's very cold outside. Don't let the child catch a chill." With that, Bai Xiuxiu left.

Zhao Cuihua found today's information quite useful.

Evening.

Bai Xiuxiu's time to leave work.

Director Wang frowned as he briefed everyone on matters to be mindful of recently, then dismissed them early.

Just as Bai Xiuxiu was about to leave, she saw Qi Yingying coming again.

So she decided to wait a bit longer before going out.

Outside.

Qi Yingying looked at Wang Qinghe and said, "Here to wait for your wife again? You really care a lot about her."

Mentioning Bai Xiuxiu, the usually quiet Wang Qinghe had a lot to say.

Moreover, he wanted Qi Yingying to know more about him.

So Wang Qinghe smiled shyly and said, "It's only right that I care for my wife. Her family is much better off than mine. My parents always favor their other sons, and it's well-known in the village.

She knew all this and still agreed to marry me. Before we separated from the family, she faced a lot of difficulties from my mother.

Even when my mother-in-law and sister sent her things by mail, my mother would insist on taking a share.

They don't even like our children.

Over the years, she has endured so much."

Listening to this, Qi Yingying became increasingly convinced that the old couple in the Wang family were definitely not Wang Qinghe's biological parents.

Who wouldn't love their eldest son?

Even if they didn't, they should at least love their grandson, right?

Not loving either the son or the grandson, and even mistreating them, was extremely rare.

There must be something wrong!

After talking for a while, Bai Xiuxiu finally came out of the house.

Seeing his wife, Wang Qinghe's smile grew even wider.

When Bai Xiuxiu came out and saw Qi Yingying, she pretended to sigh sadly. "Our father has taken everyone else to the provincial city, saying he wants to find them jobs."
