Chapter 312

Wang Qingfu wished he could raise both his hands and feet in approval.

Wang Lao Si was almost asleep when his wife, Chen Fang, nudged him, waking him up.

Still half-asleep, he mumbled, "Yes, Dad and Second Brother are right."

Everyone in the family, except for the spectating Zhao Cuihua and her husband, and the silent Wang Qingqi, agreed with Wang Shoucheng.

Zhou Jiaojiao was seething with anger.

"We're not sure if this will succeed yet. Isn't it premature to discuss this?"

Zhou Jiaojiao reluctantly tried to push the matter back, thinking if it couldn't be in her hands, it was better if it didn't succeed at all. It would waste the family's money!

"It's not early. If we discuss it after it succeeds, it will be too late. Fifth Brother's Wife, since you married into our Wang Family, you are one of us. Your things are the family's things, and the family's things will also be shared with you.

Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Wang Shoucheng's words always circled back to this point.

Zhou Jiaojiao was thoroughly exasperated with this family, but she couldn't break away from them yet.

She had already paid so much for that dream; there was no turning back now.

Compared to the grand scenes in her dream, these minor gains were nothing!

With this thought, Zhou Jiaojiao forced a smile, "I understand."

Seeing her finally relent, Wang Shoucheng was satisfied, "Yes, Second Daughter-in-law, quickly serve the meal. The whole family is starving. Why are you just standing there?"

Mentioned by name, Liu Xiaoe didn't dare to reply and hurriedly went to serve the meal.

Feeling wronged, Zhou Jiaojiao didn't want to eat, "Dad, I'm not very hungry today, so I won't eat."

After speaking, she went back to the room.

Seeing his wife didn't even want to eat, Wang Qingqi sensed something was wrong. She must be furious!

He forgot about eating and quickly followed her into the room.

Inside, as soon as Zhou Jiaojiao saw him come in, she angrily threw the quilt and pillow at him, "How did I end up marrying such a useless man? You and your family are ganging up on me! You said you wouldn't let me suffer and that we'd have the best life in the family.

Look at where we are now?

What has happened to us!"

Wang Qingqi had been having a smooth run lately. With a job and a house in the county, his brothers had also grown closer to him.

Despite being beaten up in the black market, the benefits were undeniable.

He thought his life was pretty good, so why is his wife still unsatisfied?

Wang Qingqi was confused and threw the quilt aside, "Wife, what do you mean? Who's bullying you now? Isn't our family doing well?"

"Good? What's good? Your father clearly wants me to hand over the black market operation to him. In the future, no matter how much money is made in this family, he'll have the final say. He's practically asking me for the recipe. And you say he favors you?"

"They ganged up on me today, and you didn't say a single word to help me."

Zhou Jiaojiao burst into tears in anger.

"Don't cry, my dear. I... I thought Dad had a point."

"We both work, so if those matters were really handed over to you, could we handle them?"

"Besides... he wasn't the same person he used to be in the village."

He already knew what the black market business entailed. It was all illegal activities!

If caught, you'd end up in jail.

If his wife handled that mess and it was discovered later, he would be implicated too.

On the other hand, Dad is old. If something happens, he can bear the burden alone.

The rest of the family could just deny everything, couldn't they?

Wang Qingqi quickly moved closer to Zhou Jiaojiao and shared his thoughts.

"My dear, the black market business, if it really gets big, isn't it too dangerous? Didn't you see those who were caught a few days ago? I heard they were all sent to labor camps.

It's too risky. Let Dad handle it.

As long as we benefit, it's fine."

"Don't try to fool me with those words. I'm telling you, my luck is always good, and it's impossible..." Zhou Jiaojiao said, then stopped.

Although her luck had been good, it wasn't as exceptional as before.

Even the wild goats were lost.

Letting the old man take over that mess, and then she and Wang Qingqi would go to the provincial capital.

In the provincial capital, where Wang Qingqi would make his fortune, her life would improve greatly, wouldn't it?

That was the top priority.

Zhou Jiaojiao clenched her teeth and glared at him with red eyes. "But you must ensure Dad agrees to use the money for us to go to the provincial capital. We must go to the provincial capital."

The provincial capital, again!

Mentioning the provincial capital troubled Wang Qingqi. "Isn't our life good enough now? There aren't many families in the county living better than us. We can support each other as a big family. My job is going well too, my dear..."

"Qingqi, you know how good my luck is, right?"

Zhou Jiaojiao despised Wang Qingqi in her heart for not having any ambition and not even wanting to be better off than Wang Qinghe and the others, but she still had to rely on him.

She could only pick and choose what to tell him from her dreams.

Wang Qingqi was stunned. "Isn't this just a dream?"

"I rarely dream, but when I do, they feel very real. I’m so lucky, I can’t be just anyone. And the fact that you married me means you’re not ordinary either." Zhou Jiaojiao persuaded him.

Wang Qingqi was starting to be convinced by her arguments.

He had already given up on living better than his brother, but if moving to the provincial city would improve their lives, he was willing to do it.

His wife had a point; her good luck suggested he must be exceptional too.

However.

"I’m worried Dad won’t agree," Wang Qingqi said hesitantly.

"If we let them decide, what about us?" Zhou Jiaojiao was even more frustrated. Why did fate bless him with any talent?

What a waste of potential!

"Why don’t we go together to talk to Dad about it?"

Zhou Jiaojiao had no other option and suggested they go together.

"Okay."

Wang Qingqi agreed immediately.

They practiced what to say and then went out.

The family was still eating.

Seeing them, Wang Shoucheng glanced at them. "Back to eating, huh?"

Zhou Jiaojiao forced a smile and said, "Dad, about what you mentioned earlier, I have some conditions."
