Chapter 183 You Can't Escape Responsibility

After Political Commissar Lu left, Wang Lijuan sat on the sofa for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.

It took her a long time to finally manage to get up and walk to the study to dial the Wang family's number in Beijing.

The Wang family was quite surprised to receive Wang Lijuan's call, because making phone calls is really expensive, and they only make calls once every month or two.

"Lijuan, why are you calling back at this hour? Is it because of Manman?"

The person who answered the phone was the old lady of the Wang family, who doted on her granddaughter Wang Manman and hoped that Wang Lijuan could take good care of Wang Manman and try to make sure she suffered less in the countryside.

Wang Lijuan felt a bitter taste on her tongue. She had indeed made this call about Wang Manman, but it wasn't good news, and she couldn't hide it from her.

"Mom, where are my older brother and sister-in-law? Why are you answering the phone?"

Grandma Wang laughed: "We have guests at home, and we're entertaining them outside. Hehe, they're from the Qi family. They must be related to you and Xiao Lu. They've come to take care of our Wang family."

Qi Jingchuan and Political Commissar Lu have a "mentor-disciple" relationship, which the Wang family is well aware of. The Wang family doesn't have that much influence, so the only explanation for their connection with the Qi family is their relationship with Political Commissar Lu.

Wang Lijuan was shocked. The Qi family had already sent someone to "visit" the Wang family so quickly? Judging from the old lady's words, the Qi family must have only given a warning and hadn't laid out the matter openly.

"Mom, call my eldest brother and sister-in-law to answer the phone immediately. I have something to say about Manman, it's urgent!" Wang Lijuan said seriously.

Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll go get your older brother and sister-in-law right now. Call me back in five minutes."

Five minutes later, Wang Lijuan dialed home again. This time, the voice that came through the receiver was a middle-aged, steady male voice.

"Girl, did Manman get into some trouble on Dongming Island that's causing you trouble? You don't need to call and ask for permission. You're Manman's aunt. If she makes a mistake, just scold or beat her. Don't let her cause you any more trouble."

Wang's father immediately expressed his support, but unfortunately, the mistake Wang Manman made this time could not be made up for by beating or scolding.

"Brother and sister-in-law, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. The Qi family's visit to the Wang family this time was not for the sake of the visit or to make connections. The person I originally wanted to introduce to Manman was Qi Jingchuan, but it didn't work out. Qi Jingchuan married the person he was betrothed to since childhood."

Mr. Wang was taken aback. “It’s okay if we don’t become in-laws. We can still be friends. It’s not easy to build relationships with the Qi family. If we can get in touch with them, we can be the first to know about any new policies.”

Wang Lijuan said angrily, "But Manman is not willing to accept this! She has repeatedly caused trouble for Jingchuan's wife. This time, she even tried to use drugs to ruin her reputation in the countryside. As a result, she suffered the consequences and was caught in bed with someone else!"

"..." Mr. and Mrs. Wang on the other end of the phone were stunned. They picked at their ears, wondering if they had misheard.

Wang Lijuan sobbed uncontrollably, “Now Manman is either sent to a farm for labor reform because of her promiscuous relationships, or she has to marry that man. She chose the second one. Jingchuan is not willing to let it go and made me call you to tell you to break off your relationship with Manman, otherwise the Qi family will remove the Wang family from Beijing.”

"The Qi family came to our door this time to give us a warning and a warning."

"Thump!" A muffled sound came from the other end of the phone, followed by a jumble of noises.

After a brief commotion, Wang's mother picked up the phone, crying, "Lijuan, something terrible has happened! Your brother... your brother has fallen into a coma! This matter is entirely in your hands. Manman is your own niece, and you were the one who sent her to Dongming Island! She made a mistake, and you, as her aunt, cannot escape responsibility—"
