Chapter 462

The more He Zhifei spoke, the more he regretted not siding with his son earlier.
Upon reflection, Youde was already in prison!
Moreover, apart from being immature and inconsiderate towards them, his son actually made some sense?
The thought of losing contact with such an outstanding son made He Zhifei feel extremely uncomfortable.
He had previously considered giving up on this son, but now that the moment had come, he realized he didn't want to at all!
He Quan was also confused. What did He Zhifei mean by this?
Was he regretting it again?
That eldest son of He Zhifei's family was nothing but an ingrate, even willing to harm his own uncle. What kind of good person could he be?
"He Zhifei, you really need to think this through. He... he wants Youde to serve more years in prison. He's essentially sentencing Youde's family to death," He Quan said with a heavy tone.
He Zhifei frowned, "Dad, I know, but what He Ming said earlier made a lot of sense. Whether I acknowledge this eldest son or not, he's not going to let Youde off. So, what's the point of threatening him with disownment?
Next time there's a holiday, I'll go with Yingying to see him again."
He Quan felt even more pressure now. With He Zhifei around, Xiao Tian couldn't possibly gain much advantage in this family.
But how to make He Zhifei disappear?
This attempt had already failed, and he had no money left. Without money, it's hard to get things done anywhere.
Besides, he didn't have anyone he could use anymore.
What should he do?
Maybe he should still try to find that Zhou Jiaojiao? He Quan once again entertained this thought.
But Zhou Jiaojiao had already been driven away by He Tian!
He Cheng was still waiting for his grandfather to stand up for him, but seeing that there was nothing for him, and the house was out of reach, he simply took his wife back to their room.
Back in the room, He Cheng was frustrated.
"Dad is really something. Even grandpa knows that big brother and our family are not on the same page. He knows giving the house to big brother is a waste, but dad is just stubborn.
If the house were given to us, how much better our lives would be!"
"If dad doesn't give it, we can't just take it. But your big brother is really something. He usually doesn't talk much or get involved in family matters. Dad favors third uncle's family, and he never said anything.
I thought he was just a quiet person, but he was waiting for this moment.
I saw grandpa's face, it didn't look good."
Xu Niandi was also reflecting on what had just happened.
He Cheng had no good impression of He Zhifei and snorted, "He's just immature. Look how good dad was to him before? Dad won't treat him the same way anymore!"
Meanwhile, He Zhifei and Bai Xiuxiu returned home, where Xiao Zhang was already waiting for them.
Accompanying Xiao Zhang was a man who looked to be in his forties, with a worried expression on his face.
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law," Xiao Zhang greeted them as soon as they returned, and then tugged at the man beside him.
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law, I've taken care of everything you asked me to handle. I went to see Third Sister Zhou you mentioned. After hearing about her son, she broke down in tears and vowed to sue Zhou Jiaojiao, saying she has evidence that Zhou Jiaojiao made her harm you, sister-in-law.
This is Third Sister Zhou's brother; he came here specifically for this issue."
Xiao Zhang introduced the middle-aged man.
Third Sister Zhou's brother is an honest man. After hearing that his sister was instigated to harm someone and that her son was living in poor conditions at home, he agreed to cooperate and came along.
He looked at the young couple in front of him and greeted them: "Hello, I'm here on behalf of my sister. She specifically told me she has only one demand: she is willing to identify Zhou Jiaojiao, and she also has evidence.
But her child must be handed over to me to raise.
I can't let my nephew stay with the Zhou family anymore; they're all heartless!"
Third Sister Zhou's brother thought of the pitiful state of his nephew and the thin clothes he was wearing when he saw him yesterday, and he was so upset that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Okay," Bai Xiuxiu agreed to Third Sister Zhou's brother's request.
"Great, my sister was right; you're good people."
Third Sister Zhou's brother was extremely excited.
Seeing that he had no other demands, Bai Xiuxiu continued: "I have evidence of the compensation Zhou Jiaojiao's family and in-laws offered me to settle the matter.
Once she identifies Zhou Jiaojiao, I'll submit the evidence.
The incident happened recently, and the villagers still remember it clearly. As for your nephew, I guarantee the Zhou family will hand him over to you."
When she contacted Third Sister Zhou, she wasn't sure if Third Sister Zhou had any evidence. If she did, great; if not, she'd have to work a bit harder.
Fortunately, there was.
"I've brought all the evidence my sister left; see if it helps." Third Sister Zhou's brother didn't hesitate and took out everything.
It included everything Zhou Jiaojiao gave her and a letter Third Sister Zhou wrote before doing these things.
Back then, Zhou Jiaojiao not only gave money and vouchers to Third Sister Zhou to do her bidding, but Third Sister Zhou also asked Zhou Jiaojiao for several sets of clothes.
Many villagers have seen Zhou Jiaojiao wearing these clothes.
Bai Xiuxiu took over the things left by Third Sister Zhou. These alone wouldn't count as solid evidence. But she also has the IOU Old Wang’s family wrote to get Zhou Jiaojiao out.
To convince her to drop the case.
But these things are just bait.
Her goal is to bring up Zhou Jiaojiao's attempt to harm her again, to let Old Wang’s family know that Zhou Jiaojiao is already involved in trouble.
Zhou Jiaojiao is undoubtedly involved in the Wang family's black market dealings.
But Wang Shoucheng didn't expose her.
Once Wang Shoucheng realizes his two sons are already in, the other two at home could fall into her and Qinghe's hands at any moment. And Zhou Jiaojiao, no one can control her anymore.
Wang Shoucheng will inevitably become the final nail in Zhou Jiaojiao's coffin.
"I'll leave these things to you. My nephew... I'm counting on you too. As long as you help me get the child back, you'll be the great benefactors of me and my sister.
Our family will be forever in your debt."
The man watched Bai Xiuxiu holding the items, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He wasn't sure if you two could pull it off.
But even if you couldn't, he had no other options now.
His sister was still in prison, and the Old Zhou family wouldn't let him take his nephew away.
"Don't worry, we'll have good news soon," Bai Xiuxiu said as she carefully stored the evidence.
"Brother Wang, sis, do you need me to stick around and help?" Xiao Zhang felt that this matter might not be so simple, and if they needed people later, he could lend a hand.
"You've already done so much for us, but... if you could, could you dig up some dirt on Zhou Jiaojiao's black market dealings?" Bai Xiuxiu was extremely grateful to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang had been a huge help to her and Qinghe.
"No sweat, their family's full of leaks now. They've been stepping on a lot of toes lately!" Xiao Zhang jumped at the chance.
