Chapter 409

Chen Fang stared at them, feeling that it would be best to transfer the house to her right now!

She didn’t trust anything that Second Brother and Old Fifth said, and she couldn’t trust Old Fifth’s wife either. These people are all sly and worse than the next.

She’s seen it all firsthand.

No matter what, she had to get the house into her hands.

Wang Qingfu was just trying to trick them from the beginning. Naturally, he wasn’t willing to agree.

As for Zhou Jiaojiao, it was even more impossible! This house was originally bought by her and Qingqi, so why should they give it to them?

If it weren’t for the fact that Dad and Second Brother pooled money together to buy that house, and it was sold to raise money for grain speculation, leaving them without a place to live and forcing them to squeeze in here...

She’d have kicked them out already!

With a cold face, Zhou Jiaojiao absolutely refused.

But if she didn’t agree, and Wang Laosi and his wife got desperate and went off the rails, wouldn’t her good life be ruined?

Zhou Jiaojiao was troubled and turned to look at her husband.

Wang Qingqi didn’t know what to do either: “This… this matter, wife, you should speak.”

“Yes, Fifth Brother’s Wife, this is something you and Qingqi bought, so you should make the decision. But there’s one thing that’s certain: this place has to be given to Fourth Brother and his wife to live in.

This family has sacrificed too much for you.

If it weren’t for your instigation, our family wouldn’t have gotten involved in the black market business.

To put it plainly, at least Dad wouldn’t have gone in. We still don’t know what will happen or how Dad will be sentenced in the end.”

As Wang Qingfu spoke, he shifted all the blame onto Zhou Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, knowing what was coming.

She saw that Chen Fang was still staring at her, waiting for a definite answer.

After thinking for a moment, she said: “Fourth Sister-in-law, I’d love to transfer the house to you too. But as you know, we are going to the provincial city to endure hardship. If we can make it in the provincial city, the house can be transferred to you.

But if we can’t, we’ll have to come back defeated.

How about this, let’s draw up a written agreement.

If we stay in the provincial city, the house will be transferred to you.

If we can’t stay, then the house will still be for everyone to live in.

At most, it will be three months.

If within three months we manage to get things done for the He family and they make us permanent, then everything will be fine.

We’re all family; surely we can wait these three months, right?”

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t want to break ties with Chen Fang, so she could only delay the matter.

If she really manages to establish herself in the provincial city, then promise Chen Fang to help her find a job in the city.

She still won't have to give the house to Chen Fang.

Either way, they need to keep her on board first.

Chen Fang thought Zhou Jiaojiao's promise sounded reasonable.

Wang Laosi couldn't believe that just by asking one question, his wife could land such a great deal!

Thinking about living in the house alone with his wife made Wang Laosi hope they'd stay in the provincial city forever.

"Let's just say yes, alright?" Wang Laosi urged Chen Fang, worried that others might change their minds later.

Chen Fang glanced at her no-good husband and reluctantly agreed. "Alright then."

"Fifth sister-in-law, I’m only agreeing because I trust you," said Chen Fang, looking at Zhou Jiaojiao with a reluctant expression.

Zhou Jiaojiao also sighed in relief, glad they agreed; otherwise, things could've gotten messy.

Zhou Jiaojiao quickly jotted down a written agreement, and finally, Old Wang’s family was satisfied.

By five, Zhou Jiaojiao had brought Wang Qingfu and Wang Qingqi to Hu Tian’s place.

Hu Tian didn’t invite them in; he was already waiting outside for them.

He figured it’d be too much trouble to have their big family inside.

"Where's the thing I asked for?" Hu Tian looked at the three of them and asked about the items.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiaojiao handed him the prepared items.

Only after checking them and finding no issues did Hu Tian, satisfied, lead the two of them away.

Before leaving, he took another glance at Zhou Jiaojiao, wondering why Zhou Jiaojiao was so determined to live with Wang Qingqi.

Wang Qingqi was simply useless.

Wang Qingqi followed Wang Qingfu, feeling uneasy.

At this time, Wang Shoucheng hadn't been fully interrogated yet, so he hadn't been sentenced or locked up and could still be seen for the time being.

It was quite troublesome.

Hu Tian had only managed to beg his older brother for this chance.

"Wang Shoucheng is in there; he's coming out to use the restroom. You need to see him now; you've got at most ten minutes. Hurry up and don't cause me any trouble."

Hu Tian urged them to go.

One of the guards at the restroom door was sent away, and the other one left was Hu Tian's elder brother.

When they went in, they saw Wang Shoucheng, who looked much older than he had that morning.

Seeing his two sons, Wang Shoucheng was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. "Second, Old Fifth, you've finally come to find me. Did you come to rescue me? Hurry up and get me out of here; I can't stand staying here another day.

They keep asking me if I have any accomplices. I'm scared that if I keep going, I'll tell them everything."

"You..."

Wang Shoucheng let out a mournful cry.

Wang Qingfu and Wang Qingqi both had grim expressions on their faces.

Wang Qingfu sighed, "Dad, we want to save you, but Hu Tian said there's no way to get you off the hook. We have no choice but to accept it. Even getting permission to visit you took a lot of pleading.

For this, Fifth Brother's Wife had to give Hu Tian all her secret recipes.

And we even handed over our family's market stalls to him."

Wang Shoucheng was stunned again. At this point, he understood why his two sons had come.

They couldn't get him out; they were here to silence him, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Shoucheng's expression changed. "You two ungrateful sons of bitches, I've sacrificed everything for you! And you're just going to abandon me like this? Let me tell you, if I die, you won't have it easy either."

Wang Qingfu immediately pulled Wang Qingqi to kneel down.

With a tearful voice, he said, "Dad, we're useless. We don't want this either, but we really can't get you out. Hu Tian said someone is targeting our family.

I've been thinking, who could be against us?

It's probably our elder brother in the provincial city.

After he found out he's not our biological brother, he must be resentful. He probably feels wronged by our family and is taking revenge.

Otherwise, how could we have gotten these stalls at such a cheap price?

Those two Zhang guys, they know them.

They're working together against us. If we end up being implicated with you,

won't that just make Wang Qinghe gloat?

We need to get revenge for you."

Wang Qingfu quickly started spinning a tale, pinning all the blame on Wang Qinghe without hesitation.

Wang Shoucheng, who had been furious with his two sons, suddenly became eerily calm after hearing this.

His face twisted into a vicious and terrifying scowl. "That damn bastard Wang Qinghe, I should have taken He Youde's advice and drowned him in the river!"
