Chapter 101: Going to the Su Family to Demand Justice

Zhao Xiaoyu saw Zhao Daxing and Xiao Jiliang brimming with confidence and immediately dampened their spirits.

"If you two are so eager, go right ahead. Da Bin is still hospitalized, and I'm still in pain. I'm not going!"

"Last time, Da Bin, Uncle Jiabao, and Jiabao were all there, and we almost didn't make it back. Now it's just the three of us? Are we walking into a death trap?"

"Xiao Yu, why do you always make them seem so tough? We're not going to fight; we're going to talk sense..."

Zhao Xiaoyu cut her off, "Mom, I remember how you beat up Su An's stepmother and that younger sister from the Su family, and then you bolted!"

"Do you really think they'll hear you out now? Their bruises might not even be fully healed yet. Do you think they'll listen to you? Give me a break!"

"I'm telling you, you're just asking for a beating! Go ahead if you want, but count me out!"

After saying this, Zhao Xiaoyu didn't care about Xiao Jiliang's expression and limped back to her room.

Xiao Jiliang and Zhao Daxing exchanged glances. "Well, Daxing, maybe we should wait a few more days? Su An might come back tomorrow..."

Zhao Daxing's face darkened, "Mom, we're in the right here! What's there to fear?"

"If you're not coming, I'll go by myself!"

"Hey, Daxing, listen up. Your sister's got a point. Going now is just asking for trouble."

Seeing that Zhao Daxing was really going to the Su family alone, Xiao Jiliang, feeling uneasy, had no choice but to brace herself and follow behind.

When they reached the entrance of the canned food factory's housing complex, Zhao Daxing ran into Su Jianjun and Ji Qingqing.

Su Jianjun and Su Jianguo had last met over Lin Zhaodi's situation. They had initially planned to discuss sharing the responsibility, but it resulted in Lin Zhaodi being hospitalized again.

The Su brothers were already prominent figures in the factory, and the factory had stepped in to mediate. The final agreement was that while Lin Zhaodi was hospitalized, each brother would take weekly turns, and after her discharge, each family would care for her for six months.

Today was Su Jianjun and his wife's turn to look after her.

The couple was furious. When Lin Zhaodi was well, she could have helped, but their family had gained nothing. Now...

Ji Qingqing felt as if she had a lump in her throat, unable to sleep or eat.

In her first year of marriage into the Su family, she had given birth to a robust, healthy son. Lin Zhaodi hadn't even assisted her during her postpartum recovery. While other mothers-in-law would prepare pig trotters and fat chickens, she hadn't even seen a single feather. Su Lei had been raised solely by her, without any assistance from Lin Zhaodi. And now, she was expected to take care of that old woman, even cleaning up after her!

It felt like a knife was being twisted in her heart.

But the factory was keeping a close eye on them. Su Jianjun had barely managed to keep his job, and at this critical moment, they had no choice but to swallow their pride.

The couple, filled with resentment, had just stepped out of the gate when they ran into Zhao Daxing and Xiao Jiliang.

Zhao Daxing quickly stepped forward and blocked their path.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, where are you off to?"

"Zhao Daxing?"

Ji Qingqing looked at Zhao Daxing in front of her, her face full of surprise. How had he changed so much in such a short time?

Last month, when he came to the Su family to pick up Su An, he was wearing slacks and a white shirt, his hair neatly combed back, with a pen in his pocket, looking every bit the gentleman.

Now, with his messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and sunken eyes, this limping man was Zhao Daxing?

"Yes, it's me!"

"What’s your problem? Did you just get out of prison?"

Hearing Ji Qingqing's tone, Xiao Jiliang immediately rushed forward. The accumulated anger made her forget Zhao Xiaoyu's words, and she spat at Ji Qingqing.

"Pah! You’re the one who just got out of prison, your whole family just got out of prison!"

"Isn’t my son like this because of your precious daughter’s doing?"

"Stop acting clueless! Where’s Su An? Where did that little brat go? Hand over Su An! I’m telling you, this is a sham marriage, a sham marriage!"

Ji Qingqing, spat on, screamed and wiped her face with her sleeve, while her other hand uncontrollably grabbed Xiao Jiliang's hair.

Old grudges and new hatred—today, one of them had to fall.

Seeing Su Jianjun looking at him strangely, with a mix of vigilance and eagerness, Zhao Daxing was so angry his mouth twisted.

What the hell is wrong with the Su family? What kind of people are they, anyway?

No wonder Su An is messed up—it must run in the family!

"Why are you staring at me? Separate them!"

With that, Zhao Daxing stepped forward to pull Xiao Jiliang away.

Su Jianjun, seeing this, snapped out of it. What’s Zhao Daxing up to? Not fighting anymore?

"Why are you just standing there? Break it up, quick! What kind of scene is this? We’re making fools of ourselves! Mom, let go, let go now!"

Su Jianjun, yelled at by Zhao Daxing, quickly grabbed Ji Qingqing’s arm and pulled the two apart, who were bent over, heads butting like fighting bulls, pulling each other's hair.

Of the four people there, except for Xiao Jiliang, the other three all had old injuries.

Ji Qingqing, especially, had scars on her back from multiple injuries, which affected her performance. So, in her second encounter with Xiao Jiliang, she was again at a disadvantage.

As Su Jianjun pulled her away, she was still glaring with bloodshot eyes, panting heavily, and shouting hoarsely at Xiao Jiliang.

Xiao Jiliang, being yanked back by Zhao Daxing, still leaned forward like a bull ready to charge, wanting to continue.

Zhao Daxing's arm was still injured and couldn't hold her back, so he let go. With a loud cry, Xiao Jiliang, who had been struggling forward, fell face-first onto the ground with a thud.

The shrill curses finally stopped, replaced by Ji Qingqing’s exaggerated laughter as she clapped her hands.

"Oh ho ho ho, hahaha, heaven has eyes!"

"Mom? Mom, are you all right?"

Zhao Daxing hurriedly helped Xiao Jiliang up. She trembled as she raised her head, two streams of blood slowly flowing from her nose.

"Daxing, wuwuwu, what are you doing?"

"Mom, come on, get up. I told you not to fight, but you wouldn’t listen. Does fighting solve anything?"

"Did we come all this way just to brawl?"

Zhao Daxing, after all, was a small leader and knew what the main point was.

"Father-in-law, we came here to find Su An. She’s been gone for days without coming home."

Su Jianjun's face was cold. "If Su An isn’t home, why are you making a scene here? Do you think I’m hiding her?"

"I want to find that wretched girl too! If I hadn’t been so tied up lately, I would’ve gone to the Zhao family myself!"
