Chapter 410

Chapter 410

"Dad, it's too late to talk about the past now. We've already been wronged. At least let us stay outside to avenge you and bring them in to keep you company."

"Right now, the two of us, along with Second Brother's family, are about to head to the provincial city. Wang Qinghe has to pay for this."

Wang Qingfu, with an emotional tone, continued to persuade Wang Shoucheng despite Wang Qingqi's shocked gaze.

Wang Shoucheng fell silent, but hatred surged in his eyes.

If his sons had begged for his mercy, asking him to take pity on them and then abandoned him, he would have dragged a few people down with him, at the very least, Fifth Brother's Wife.

If it weren't for Fifth Brother's Wife, their Old Wang’s family wouldn't have ended up like this.

But...

What his son said made Wang Shoucheng abandon the idea of finding scapegoats.

That short-lived Wang Qinghe had caused him so much suffering.

Wang Qinghe has to pay for this.

Hadn't he worked his whole life for the glory of the Old Wang family?

Now that he couldn’t get out, his kids still could.

Moreover, if he ever managed to get out, he was counting on them to take care of him in his old age.

With this thought, Wang Shoucheng immediately discarded his initial idea. He looked at his sons and wept, "You have to avenge me and make sure he suffers."

"Out there, you need to work hard to improve our family's life."

"If I ever get out, you’ll take care of me, won't you?"

Worried they might forget about his plight, Wang Shoucheng added, "You’ve got to find a way to visit me every month. If you don’t, I’ll rat you all out."

Wang Qingqi exploded, "Once a month? We..."

"We'll definitely come. Dad, don't worry. You're suffering for our family. In the future, we'll visit you once a month without fail. If it weren't inconvenient, I'd come to see you every day."

"Dad, we’re not being good sons. You’ve been treated unfairly."

Wang Qingfu wept bitterly.

This also stirred Wang Shoucheng's limited fatherly love.

"Don’t worry, boys. I’ll take the blame. It’s already happened, so I’ll say it was all my doing." As Wang Shoucheng spoke, he felt utterly desperate.

Why was his fate so bitter?

It was all Fifth Brother's Wife's fault! If she hadn't been pushing to intercept this business for the family, would he have been caught?

Ever since Fifth Brother's Wife joined the Old Wang family, things had gone downhill.

He gave his youngest son a displeased look, "From now on, you and your wife must give one-third of your salaries to your Second Brother every month. Also, if you have a place to live, you must ensure your Second Brother has one too."

Every month, I'll be asking your second brother. If you don't follow through, I'll expose all of you. Nobody in our family will have a good life.

Wang Qingqi was stunned, unable to believe it. "Dad? Are you crazy? My wife and I..."

"I'm like this because of the wife you married. We have to do this. Otherwise, I won’t let either of you off the hook."

Wang Shoucheng didn’t want to hear him whining.

Wang Qingfu almost laughed. Was there really something this good?

"They're back. Move quickly!" A warning suddenly came from outside.

Wang Shoucheng didn’t expect his two sons to leave so soon.

He wanted to pull them back for a few more words, but they were already gone.

Leaving the restroom, Wang Qingqi couldn’t shake off the shock. He asked Wang Qingfu blankly, "Second brother, is it true? Did Wang Qinghe really cause all this mess?"

Wang Qingfu gave him a sideways glance. "How should I know?"

"You..."

"Didn't you notice Dad's attitude? He's just trying to threaten us into getting him out. If he can't get out, he'll find someone to drag down with him.

If I hadn't said that, would he have taken the blame alone?"

Wang Qingfu thought Old Fifth was too naive.

To actually think Dad was the kind of person who would do anything for his children.

He's crazy.

Wang Qingqi found an answer for himself, but thinking about giving half his future salary to his second brother weighed heavily on him.

"Alright, let's head back." Wang Qingfu urged him to return.

Go home?

Wang Qingqi didn’t want to go home at all.

"Second brother, are you really going to agree to what Dad said?" Wang Qingqi asked, frowning.

Wang Qingfu knew what he was talking about. He gave Wang Qingqi a smile. "Old Fifth, I think Dad's words make sense. It's true that your wife caused all this mess. I'm going to follow Dad's decision about the money.

Don't worry, if you and your wife ever get a divorce, I'll return the money to you."

Wang Qingfu was just painting a rosy picture.

Back at the Old Wang household, everyone was waiting for them.

As soon as Wang Qingqi and Wang Qingfu entered the house, they were immediately surrounded.

"How is it? Did Dad agree?" Wang Laosi asked eagerly.

This was related to the future of the family!

"He agreed, but no matter what, we have to visit him once a month. Otherwise, he'll change his testimony." Wang Qingfu sighed.

The others were thrilled to hear this.

"Great, Dad still cares about us." Wang Laosi was so moved he almost cried.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t think it was that simple. This old coot...

Sure enough, before she could feel happy, Wang Qingfu continued, "But Dad has one more condition. He wants Old Fifth and his wife to hand over one-third of their monthly salaries to me!"

"Why should we? I’m not agreeing to that." Zhou Jiaojiao immediately refused.

Wang Qingfu looked helpless. "Fifth Brother’s Wife, Dad said if we don’t agree, he’ll recant when we meet him in a month and rat us all out."

"If that happens, we’ll lose everything. It’s your call on how to deal with this."

Wang Qingfu’s attitude made Zhou Jiaojiao want to fight him right there.

Is Wang Qingqi brain-dead or something? How could he agree to Dad’s demand?

"Qingqi, did Dad really say that?" Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t accept it.

Wang Qingqi nodded. "Dad said that he ended up like this because of you. He also said it’s non-negotiable."

Zhou Jiaojiao felt like her luck had run out.

Otherwise, why would she have had that nightmare and ended up marrying Wang Qingqi?

What had this family done for her?

They made her feel inferior to Bai Xiuxiu while reaping all the benefits from her.

Didn’t Dad get into trouble because of his own stupidity?

The Old Wang’s family were all no good.

"If you agree, we can keep living normally. Otherwise, we’re all going down together." Wang Qingfu had given up.

He believed that Zhou Jiaojiao wouldn’t be willing to give up her good life and go to prison.

Looking grim, Zhou Jiaojiao reluctantly agreed. "Fine, we can’t refuse Dad’s wish." She refused to believe she’d be living under this threat forever. The scenes in her dreams couldn’t be fake.

She had already sacrificed so much and couldn’t afford the consequences of failure now.
