    Chapter 411

    Zhou Jiaojiao's face was grim. She had been married to Wang Qingqi for quite some time and had a clear understanding of the Old Wang family's behavior. If she didn't agree to this matter, her father-in-law, that old man, might actually drag everyone into it.

    All her plans would be ruined if that happened.

    She could only agree for now and wait for a chance to figure things out slowly in the future.

    How much longer can that old man live?

    Zhou Jiaojiao silently comforted herself and felt her earlier anger dissipate.

    She shot a glance at her useless husband. "It's settled then. I'm not in the mood for dinner, so I won't eat. Qingqi, come back to the room with me."

    Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes were fierce.

    Wang Qingqi knew he was powerless this time and would definitely be grilled by his wife.

    So, he obediently followed her inside.

    Seeing the two of them, Wang Qingfu smirked, feeling quite pleased with himself.

    Everyone said that Fifth Brother's Wife had good luck, but now it seemed his luck was pretty good too. Otherwise, how could he have stumbled upon such a big opportunity?

    He had been worried about what would happen if the family fell apart, but unexpectedly, Dad had solved the problem for him.

    It was the kind of luck that could make someone laugh in their sleep.

    "Wife, go make some food. If they don't eat, Lao Si and I still will." Wang Qingfu glanced at his wife and urged her to make dinner.

    Liu Xiaoe hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his hand and said, "You're going to the provincial capital soon. Can I and the two girls come with you? I... I'm worried about you."

    Wang Qingfu had been thinking about getting a divorce and, hearing that she wanted to go to the provincial capital, immediately shook off her hand. "Stay here. Do you think I'm going to the provincial capital to have fun? I'm doing it for this family!

    If you come with these two money-losing burdens, how much more would I have to spend to support you all each month?

    Just stay here and quit thinking about going to the provincial capital.

    After all these years, you haven't even given birth to a son. Wang Qinghe's two children can already run, but you've only given me two money-losing burdens!"

    Wang Qingfu couldn't bear it anymore and, after scolding her, went into the house.

    Tears blurred Liu Xiaoe's eyes. She wiped them away, gave an awkward smile to Wang Laosi and his wife, and ran to the kitchen.

    Chen Fang glared at Wang Laosi. "Your second brother is really not a good person."

    Wang Laosi was stunned. "If my second brother isn't a good person, why are you glaring at me, wife?"

    Inside the room, as soon as Zhou Jiaojiao entered, she demanded Wang Qingqi tell her everything about how they met Wang Shoucheng and his exact words.

    She didn't trust Wang Qingfu and always felt that this matter was too beneficial for him.

    Why should she agree?

    Wang Qingqi was helpless and could only repeat it once more.

    After hearing this, Zhou Jiaojiao was also stunned.

    Turns out it was true, just like Wang Qingfu said...

    Even without proof, she now suspected it was true!

    Maybe our family’s problems were caused by Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu!

    "I won't let them get away with it!"

    Zhou Jiaojiao's expression was sinister.

    Wang Qingqi was so startled by her look that he asked, "Wife, what are you planning to do?"

    "Just pack quickly. We're buying tickets to go to the provincial city tonight, as early as possible," Zhou Jiaojiao urged Wang Qingqi to pack.

    Her hatred for Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu doubled in her heart.

    Even though she had tried to harm Bai Xiuxiu before and even wanted her dead, Bai Xiuxiu was still alive, wasn't she? Their retaliation is really vicious.

    Even without evidence, they still seem the most suspicious.

    Wang Qingqi didn't dare to argue with his wife; he just agreed, "I'll let Second Brother know."

    Wang Qingfu had just returned to his room when Wang Qingqi came over without resting.

    "Old Fifth? What are you doing here?" Wang Qingfu asked, puzzled.

    "Second Brother, my wife said we're heading out tonight. Hurry up and pack."

    Wang Qingqi left after speaking.

    Wang Qingfu was frustrated. Why does everything have to be according to their plans?

    But it's fine to leave early; the longer the night, the more dreams can go wrong.

    Skipping dinner in his anxiety, Wang Qingfu called his wife back into the room.

    "What's wrong? I haven't finished cooking yet, and you..." Liu Xiaoe rushed into the room, her sense of injustice growing by the minute.

    If Old Fifth's wife can go to the provincial capital, why can't I?

    Didn't they just say that Old Fifth and his wife will give one-third of their salaries to my husband?

    That should be enough to support us and the two girls.

    If not, couldn't I go with you?

    If he left without her, when will we ever have a son?

    "Quickly pack my things; we are leaving soon," Wang Qingfu ignored his wife's conflicted look.

    That’s so sudden!

    Liu Xiaoe became even more uneasy. She hugged her husband and pleaded desperately, "Please take me and the two girls with you. If not, just take me. If you go to the provincial capital, who will cook and do your laundry? And if we're separated for too long, how will we ever have a son?

    We've been married for how many years now?

    And we still don't have a son."

    "Are you crazy? Who will take care of the two girls? I told you, I'm not going there to enjoy myself. Just stay at home obediently. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come to get you."

    Wang Qingfu pushed her away. Liu Xiaoe has really lost it!

    She actually wanted to tag along with him to the provincial capital.

    After being rejected, Liu Xiaoe looked even more dejected.

    But she knew it was pointless to argue, so she silently helped him pack.

    She wondered how she could find a way to go with him later.

    What if he leaves me and finds someone else?

    What if a young city girl snatched him away? How could she survive without him?

    After packing his things, Wang Qingfu joined Wang Qingqi and his wife, and they headed to the train station together, getting ready to head to the provincial capital.

    Provincial capital.

    Outside, it was pitch black.

    He Ming was still helping Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu with their work.

    He followed directions while helping carry wooden planks, all the while wondering why his grandpa was there.

    So he kept glancing at Wang Qinghe.

    Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help asking him, "He Ming, you've been staring at Qinghe. If you want to ask something, just ask."

    Caught red-handed, He Ming gave an embarrassed smile. "Big sister-in-law, I was just curious about what Grandfather and Uncle were doing here for so long. They didn’t leave until it was almost dark, and they looked very happy when they left.

    Gramps hasn’t been this happy in ages. What did you talk about?"

    After saying this, He Ming felt like he was fishing for information and quickly added, "I swear I won’t tell my mom!"

    "Nothing much, just that we should visit them more often," Wang Qinghe chose some information that could be shared to tell him.

    "That’s all? I thought it would be something bigger. I think Gramps should’ve stepped in to set Third Uncle straight. If it weren’t for Third Uncle, our family wouldn’t have been separated for so long," He Ming felt angry when talking about this.

    Why is there so much tension between big brother and him?

    It was all because of Third Uncle!
