Sheng Yueqing wiped away her tears and asked, "Where did you lose the child?"

"Yuanjia Village".

She remembers it very clearly.

The village they visited was called Yuanjia Village, a village with simple and honest folk customs.

There weren't many people in that village, and the old people and children were all very kind; otherwise, Lao Sheng wouldn't have let her stay there.

Yuanjia Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. There are many villages with different surnames around it, but they are all quite far away.

There's a small shop at the village entrance where many elderly people sit and chat after work, and they also help look after the children.

In addition, Lao Sheng assigned her an assistant to help her take care of the children.

Because he was sent by Lao Sheng, she trusted the assistant, which is why she dared to let the child go out.

Unexpectedly, after that trip, he never came back.

Sheng Yueqing asked suspiciously, "Where is that assistant?"

Is this the current Assistant Sun?

Assistant Sun waved his hand, "It wasn't me. I only went to the Sheng family ten years ago."

Mrs. Sheng also said, "It wasn't Assistant Sun, it was another assistant, who is older than me."

She was so focused on finding her child that she didn't notice where her assistant had gone.

Some people said that the assistant went to report to Lao Sheng, but they never saw him again.

At the time, she was focused on finding her child and didn't ask where her assistant had gone.

When he came to his senses later, he asked Lao Sheng where his assistant had gone. Lao Sheng replied that the assistant had done a poor job and had been fired.

I haven't seen him in so many years.

Sheng Yueqing and Qi Xinxin exchanged a glance.

I always felt it wasn't that simple.

Qi Xinxin thought, "Could that assistant be the mole?"

Perhaps she took the child away.

Sheng Yueqing nodded. "Very likely."

Otherwise, the village is so small, and everyone in the village knows Mrs. Sheng's daughter, they wouldn't have been so bold as to take her away.

But the assistant was nowhere to be found.

It's possible that the assistant took it away.

However, since Mr. Sheng didn't say, they couldn't speculate.

Mrs. Sheng couldn't resolve this issue either. "I'll ask Old Sheng when he comes."

There are some things that should always be clarified.

Mrs. Sheng patted Sheng Yueqing's hand, "Let's talk about your matter again. What trouble have you encountered?"

Seeing that she seemed a bit more energetic, Sheng Yueqing told her, "My mother-in-law and several of my sisters-in-law have come."

"He came here wanting to freeload and also wanted money, but I pretended to be poor and got rid of him."

Mrs. Sheng frowned as she listened to her description of the He family's character.

How can there be such a person?

She had been so well protected by Mr. Sheng her whole life that she rarely encountered someone so rude and shameless.

"That's money you and He Yushen earned, why would they covet it?"

Sheng Yueqing peeled an apple for her and smiled, "It's okay, we've got it all figured out."

To deal with the He family, who like to use moral blackmail and also want money, all you need to do is be even more immoral and even poorer than them.

Mrs. Sheng was amused and exasperated. "What if they can't find jobs?"

"I guess they'll still come looking for you then, right?"

Sheng Yueqing shrugged. "Go ahead and look for them. Anyway, I have no money, and their crying won't help."

Even if He Yushen comes back, she will not give him the money.

At most, it'll be three or five yuan; they definitely won't give more.

With so many sons in the He family, the spoils should naturally be divided equally; there's no reason for them to be taken advantage of.

Qi Xinxin also said, "That's right. If your mother-in-law favors you and gives you all the benefits, then it's only right that you give her more in return."

"The problem is that she's not nice to any of you."

They have no money, no house, nothing at all, so why should we give them money?

Mrs. Sheng agreed, "That's right, to deal with such greedy people, we should nip their ideas in the bud."

Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm much stingier than them now."

Anyway, you can't get a penny out of her.

Just then, Shengjing Heng arrived.

"mom!"

He rushed back, looking travel-worn and seemingly still injured; the smell of medicine emanating from him could be detected from afar.

When Mrs. Sheng saw him, it was as if she had seen a powerful backer. She had been all smiles just moments before, but now tears were streaming down her face.

“Aheng…”

"son..."

Tears streamed down her face, and Sheng Jingheng was heartbroken.

"Mom? Where do you feel unwell?"

Mrs. Sheng was sobbing that she couldn't speak.

Qi Xinxin chimed in, "It's all because of that Huang Nianyan. She deliberately showed Grandpa Sheng photos of him with other women in a room, trying to get Grandma Sheng to divorce Grandpa Sheng. Grandma Sheng almost fainted from anger."

"Then, when the old lady called to ask Grandma Sheng to step down, she fainted immediately."

Sheng Jingheng frowned deeply.

His face was very cold.

Qi Xinxin was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she took out the photos.

"Here, this is the photo. Huang Nianyan brought it over specifically, and it made Grandma Sheng so angry that she had a heart attack."

"She also said that the young woman in Kyoto is going to have a son for Grandpa Sheng."

Of course, she didn't hear what he said; he was just exaggerating.

However, given Huang Nianyan's personality, she would indeed say that.

Sheng Jingheng took a deep breath, clearly angered as well.

They were just restraining themselves.

He lowered his head and asked Mrs. Sheng, "Mom, is what Xin Xin said true?"

Mrs. Sheng, with tears in her eyes, said, "Yes."

Huang Nianyan did say that the young woman had slept with Lao Sheng, which is why she was so angry.

She hadn't told Qi Xinxin this, so she didn't know how the child knew.

She usually wouldn't talk about these things, wanting to save face for Lao Sheng, and she would swallow her grievances herself.

I never expected Qi Xinxin to bring it up today.

This time, she didn't cover for Lao Sheng anymore.
