Chapter 338 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Join Forces 3 You really wronged me, how could I dare...

After Li Xue instigated Li Hua, she did two more things.

She called her classmate Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong was already married. Her husband was a level 6 fitter in a steel plant and was quite capable.

However, Li Xue didn't want to meet her uncle and aunt at that time, so she didn't go to the banquet.

Now that she was calling, she had to have a legitimate reason, so she lied and said that her aunt wanted to introduce her to someone at the steel factory and asked Qiu Tong to help find out.

Although Qiu Tong was angry that she did not attend her wedding, she still felt sympathy for this classmate who had been lonely and helpless since childhood.

So after Li Xue said a few kind words, Qiu Tong forgave her and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"I just don't know, so I came to ask you. From what my aunt said, it seems that the man's parents are very close to my uncle and aunt. You also know that my uncle and aunt occupied my parents' pension and snatched the job quota reserved for me in the factory, so..." Li Xue pretended to be embarrassed, feeling like saying bad things about her elders but couldn't bear to do it.

Qiu Tong had been her deskmate for many years, so they had some tacit understanding. She subconsciously asked, "Is your aunt trying to find you a backer so that your in-laws can help you get the money?"

"I can't say for sure, but the voice sounds a bit similar." Li Xue sighed silently, "Tongtong, please keep an eye out for me. If there really is such a person, I'm willing to give it a try, but the prerequisite is that the other person must have good character."

Qiu Tong understood that getting married was a big deal for a girl. If she met a bastard, wouldn't her life be ruined for the rest of her life?

So she immediately agreed, hung up the phone, and went to ask her parents-in-law.

Everything happened just as Li Xue had imagined. Qiu Tong's mother-in-law was a gossip and made the matter known to everyone within two days. Li Xue's uncle and aunt were so angry that they went straight to Li Hua's mother-in-law's house to quarrel with her.

Li Hua was still trying hard to persuade Li Xue to use her youth and beauty to seduce Ning Zhengrong and destroy his marriage with Tang Fengyuan.

Unexpectedly, during working hours on a weekday, her husband called her directly in the office and angrily told her to go back immediately.

Li Hua was dumbfounded and cursed, "What are you crazy about? Did I provoke you for no reason?"

"You know what you've done!" Wang Guoxing was so angry that his head was buzzing. He had no mood to argue with her and shouted directly, "If you don't come back, then don't show up again. Even if my daughter gets married later, you have nothing to do with it. That's it."

Li Hua was completely confused. What was going on? It was so serious that they were threatening her with her daughter's marriage.

He knew that she couldn't just ignore her daughter's marriage. She had to choose carefully and find the best candidate, the best of the best. After all, only if her daughter married well would she have face.

But she had to ask what was going on. She called back, but the other party always hung up.

Forget it, it seems I have to go back. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

Li Hua immediately took a leave of absence and called Li Xue, asking her to get her a train ticket for the afternoon, a family ticket that was free.

Li Xue was secretly happy, but on the surface she had to pretend to be innocent and asked, "What happened, aunt?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Li Hua hung up the phone with a ferocious look on his face, as if he wanted to eat a child.

At lunchtime, Li Hua went home to pack up. He looked at Li Xue suspiciously while she was cooking and asked, "Did you do something wrong when you went back to pay respect to your parents?"

Li Xue looked innocent: "What am I doing, aunt? What's wrong with you?"

Li Hua questioned, "Your uncle suddenly angrily told me to go back immediately, and you didn't know?"

"I don't know. There are a lot of passengers this year, and it's Mid-Autumn Festival soon, so the ticket window is very busy. Besides, Captain Yang brought people to verify the information of the human traffickers again today. I have been working diligently at my post the whole time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Yang." Li Xue gave her most sincere performance, looking innocent and confused.

Li Hua didn't want to continue talking, after all, she didn't even know what had happened.

But she still threatened: "You'd better not do anything, otherwise, I will find an old widower to marry you off, and I'll see how you can get away with it!"

Li Xue burst into tears: "Aunt, you really wronged me. How dare I do that?"

"You'd better not dare." Li Hua was skeptical. He took two bites of lunch and went back.

The second thing Li Xue did was to pry open Li Hua's cabinet while Li Hua was not at home, and found that it was full of bribes that Li Hua had accepted.

She went to the photo studio again. She wanted to ask a photographer to bring his equipment over and take pictures of everything, and give them to Tang Fengyuan as the most direct evidence.

But the master refused. Firstly, taking the equipment out for filming would definitely delay the normal business of the store. Secondly, the equipment was not his own, and if anything went wrong, he would not be able to afford the compensation.

Li Xue had no choice but to call Yao Zhizhi. Yao Zhizhi told her Xu Wei's number and address and asked her to go find Xu Wei.

When Xu Wei and Zhou Feng went to the courtyard to take pictures, they carried their equipment directly over, which showed that Xu Wei was very familiar with the people in the photo studio.

Li Xue quickly went to the Agricultural College, found Xu Wei, and explained the matter. Xu Wei was a little surprised. He didn't expect it was about the corruption case of the Education Bureau.

Thanks to his adherence to principles, Zhou Juan was prevented from committing fraud.

Since Yao Zhizhi has already intervened in this matter, it is definitely impossible to cover it up, so he might as well do her a favor.

As for whether his elder brother-in-law and sister-in-law would be implicated, he didn't care.

They were the first to infringe on the interests of others! Think about how pitiful, innocent, and wronged those students who were replaced by them must be.

If it was Xu Wei who was replaced, he would even want to kill someone.

I studied hard for several years and never gave up studying even when the college entrance examination was suspended. But one day, I finally had another chance to make the leap to success, but my place was snatched away by a salted fish rotting in a stinky ditch. That was really enough to give me a heart attack.

So, he has to help with this matter.

Sure enough, as soon as he showed up, the photographer immediately agreed, but he still asked him to sign a guarantee, stating that Xu Wei would be responsible for compensation if the equipment was damaged.

Xu Wei was not worried that he would not be able to pay for the compensation if it really broke down. Yao Zhizhi was rich and she would not ignore it.

He led the photographer and followed Li Xue to Li Hua's residence. Seeing the cabinet full of filial piety and correspondence, Xu Wei was dumbfounded.

The photographer was also stunned.

He suddenly became a little nervous and asked, "Teacher Xu, this... this..."

Xu Wei comforted him, "Don't be afraid. You know Chief Yao and Director Tang from Eight Alleys, right? They'll take care of everything. You won't be implicated."

The photographer took a deep breath, took the photo, and asked, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. But if you need to testify in court, can you please not mention me?"

He was afraid that if he failed to bring down the big boss, he would end up getting himself into trouble. Wouldn't that be a loss?

Xu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have children too. Do you want your children to have their university places taken away by the children of these people in the future?"

The photographer was instantly speechless. After a long moment of contemplation, he said, "I understand. If I really need to testify in court, I will."

"That's right, remember, Editor-in-Chief Yao is rich, she won't treat you unfairly. And the individual economy will be opened up soon. If you want to take over this photo studio and are short of a few thousand, it will be no problem to ask her." Xu Wei always had to paint a rosy picture for others. After all, only interests can give a coward the courage to stand up.

The photographer was very excited and looked expectant: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Editor-in-Chief Yao has inside information." Xu Wei smiled and squeezed his shoulders. "So, remember, don't tell anyone about this, including your wife and children. Wait for my news. Got it?"

"good."

After taking the photos, the photographer went to develop them quickly. Xu Wei was worried, so he asked his recently retired father to go to the photo studio to keep an eye on them.

Even if flushing takes time, even if you have to wait three or five days, you have to make sure that this is a foolproof process.

Lao Xu was actually a little hesitant. He asked Xu Wei, "Is this really okay? If your mother-in-law knew..."

"Dad, I'm a teacher. I teach and educate. If my own mother-in-law condones and protects her children from infringing on the rights of other students, and I turn a blind eye, then am I still qualified to be a teacher?" Xu Wei asked in a resounding voice.

Lao Xu is a cultured man who has been aloof all his life, so he was naturally stumped by such questions.

Yes, my son is a teacher and he also has a son. If the upper beam is not straight, how can we expect the lower beam to become pillars of the family?

Crooked beams and rafters will be dismantled and chopped into firewood to heat other people's stoves.

Even though Mr. Xu does not expect his children and grandchildren to become rich and powerful, he also does not want them to become the crooked beams and cracked rafters that others step on when they climb up.

Lao Xu finally promised Xu Wei that he would take full responsibility for this matter.

The Chengnan Police Station and the Municipal Bureau received calls from stations along the way, all saying that they did not see the target person get off the bus.

There are two possibilities: either he was in disguise, or he jumped off the bus halfway.

Trains these days travel very slowly, especially when entering or leaving a train station. If you want to avoid most people's sight, the best way is to jump off the train when it is slowing down or just starting up but has not yet fully accelerated to normal speed.

Now things are troublesome. Where did the three children go?

Tang Fengyuan was so worried about how to get them back that he had blisters in his mouth.

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. When families are reunited, the child is missing. It’s heartbreaking to think about it.

So much so that she always sighed when she came home from get off work.

Fortunately, Li Hua's affairs went smoothly. Li Xue was waiting for her at the entrance of the alley. When she saw her come back, she personally handed the list to Tang Fengyuan.

It lists in detail all the bribe items displayed in Li Hua's cabinet.

Li Xue did not report directly to the Municipal Bureau because she was not sure whether they were ready.

We have to wait for the big leaders in the capital to give the order, otherwise, we will be trying to shake a big tree like an ant and end up in a dead end.

Tang Fengyuan took the list and was stunned.

She quickly called Li Xue and went to the small courtyard behind to call Yao Zhizhi.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: I don’t know if you know about Jiangsu’s abnormal college entrance examination. It used to be a double purgatory mode of the small college entrance examination in the second year of high school, with ABC grades stuck, and the high score in the college entrance examination in the third year of high school.

Now that this plague mode has been cancelled, people are making fun of the children taking the high school entrance examination.

So we have the epidemic pattern of the junior high school entrance exam in the second year of junior high school and the senior high school entrance exam in the third year of junior high school.

There are twelve subjects in total, and I accompany my children to study until about twelve o'clock every day. It's really suffocating.

My child is about to take the junior high school entrance exam, and the midterm exam and the first mock exam will be held at the same time next cycle. It’s crazy.

Children nowadays are so pitiful. No wonder so many of them commit suicide by jumping off buildings.

I don’t dare to speak loudly now, for fear that my child cannot bear it.

Sometimes I really hope those idiots in the Education Bureau would just die.

I was in a bad mood yesterday and complained a lot to everyone. Today, seeing how hard my children are studying, I have no choice but to cheer up and shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.

My husband's health has improved a little now, and he is also trying to take on some work on his own, but I don't know if he will be cheated. He rented a factory through a friend's introduction and does mold processing on his own. He is currently in debt mode. If he is cheated, this year will be really worse.

I hope my friend is okay, otherwise, I’m afraid the money I have won’t last me a few months.

In short, although book reviews are closed, I have received your encouragement. Thank you all.

I'll try to finish it as well as possible.
