Chapter 253 Which one do you choose?

No rush.

Su Hongying smiled and gestured to the fruit in the bag by the bedside. Fan Liangyu took an apple, and Su Hongying nodded.

While peeling the fruit, Fan Liangyu asked, "You have another idea?"

"No, it's just a chain reaction caused by the escalation of the situation. Let's wait and see. Maybe they'll bring us some other surprises. There's another reason..."

Su Hongying patted the bed and said, "I'm in postpartum confinement. No matter how important something is, I have to wait until I'm fully recovered before I talk about it."

"right."

Fan Liangyu nodded, "I need to recover my health first so I'll have the energy to deal with them."

Su Hongying smiled and beckoned to her with her finger, "Come here."

"What?"

Fan Liangyu leaned closer, and Su Hongying told her what she was thinking. Fan Liangyu immediately gasped.

He said, "Hitting someone is illegal, and robbing someone of their money will land you in jail."

Su Hongying looked at her, a smile that held no real joy in her eyes.

He said, "Their family can humiliate us all they want without breaking the law. Zheng Xiulan pushed me down and caused me to have a difficult childbirth with severe bleeding. I almost lost my life, but because I'm still alive, when the police come to our door, they'll probably just say 'harmony in the family brings prosperity.' Since I'm alive, Zheng Xiulan won't face any real legal consequences. At most, she'll get a few words of reprimand from the police. It won't have much impact on her career or even her reputation..."

At this point, Su Hongying suddenly paused, thinking of how Li Banxia had gone to Zheng Xiulan's workplace without warning, forcing Zheng Xiulan to return the money and car. She couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

Fan Liangyu raised an eyebrow. "What are you laughing at?"

"I suddenly thought of my mom."

Su Hongying took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Back then, you hadn't married into the family yet, and you were being completely charmed by Zhang Lao Er. Zheng Xiulan asked me to bring back my elder brother and sister-in-law's newly bought bicycle for him to ride, saying that he would pick you up and drop you off at get off work so that we could develop our relationship."

Fan Liangyu said, "...I didn't ride in the car more than a few times. He said his mother bought it secondhand."

The two looked at each other, both feeling somewhat disgusted.

Su Hongying smacked her lips and continued what she hadn't finished saying, "My mom realized my mother-in-law had ill intentions and wouldn't let me push the car, so I pushed away... the car of my dad's mistress's son."

Fan Liangyu opened his eyes wide, “…”

Is this something that can be said about their relationship?

Su Hongying glanced at her and laughed, "...My mother knew that I had been tricked by Zheng Xiulan into asking my family for money, things, and a bicycle. Knowing that it was useless to approach me, she went directly to Zheng Xiulan's workplace and made her look bad in front of so many people!"

As she spoke, she laughed out loud and looked at Fan Liangyu with a regretful expression.

"...You've absolutely never seen how much Zheng Xiulan cherishes her reputation at work. When my mom pointed her finger at her and berated her, she didn't even utter a single swear word. Can you believe it?"

Fan Liangyu blinked, asking her incredulously, "Are you talking about Zheng Xiulan, who acts like a country bumpkin at home, always slapping her thigh and complaining about her miserable life, her disobedient son and unfilial daughter-in-law, or constantly calling someone a slut and a jinx, the Zheng Xiulan who is our family's living person in life and our dead person in death?"

Su Hongying was amused by her description and said, "That's right, when it comes to acting skills, she's definitely number one."

Fan Liangyu also smiled.

Su Hongying smiled at her, which gave Fan Liangyu goosebumps. She frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...You can choose one of the two methods."

Su Hongying adopted a "you choose first" attitude, saying, "The first option is to fight and run, and disappear after you've robbed him. Zhang Lao Er will never guess or suspect you, since you've followed him to so many places and you really want to live a good life with him."

Fan Liangyu, "..."

"The second option, going to Zheng Xiulan's workplace to make a scene, would be more effective. It's possible that her superiors would get angry and remove her from her position as a junior leader in the labor union. However, your reputation at work will also be affected, and it will be more difficult to get married again if your career is impacted. Which option do you... choose?" Su Hongying analyzed.

Fan Liangyu remained silent.

Su Hongying's words made sense. The second method would be a lose-lose situation, but Fan Liangyu hesitated about the first one. She was afraid that if she were discovered, her money and career would be affected.

Su Hongying coughed lightly. "Here's what we'll do: you give me some money, and I'll help you find someone. You don't need to have any contact with the other party from beginning to end; you just need to collect the money. I guarantee that once the money is in your hands, no third person will know. Do you... trust me?"

Fan Liangyu gave her a deep look, smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you. No matter how much money you get, I'll give you thirty percent."

"atmosphere."

Su Hongying smiled and extended her hand.

Fan Liangyu also reached out his hand, saying, "I'm getting something for nothing, losing 70% without spending a single penny. You could have easily taken all the money, but I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me..."

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Su Hongying glared at her.

Fan Liangyu raised his hand and slapped his mouth, "I misspoke, I was being a smart aleck."

Su Hongying shook her head. "You need to cooperate with this. Didn't Zhang Lao Er ask you to go house hunting? See, just go with him openly and go house hunting every month. House hunting won't affect your desire to divorce him. It's just to recover some of your losses before then."

"...How long! A month?!" She couldn't bear to look at Zhang Lao Er's face every day.

It's so strange, isn't it? She used to really enjoy Zhang Lao Er's smiling face when he talked to her about his family, how his mother missed her, invited her to his house, and cooked delicious food for her. She felt so warm and cozy.

Now……

Seeing that face, I just wanted to tell him to crawl away.

Seeing her like this, Su Hongying couldn't help but laugh. "Think about that five thousand yuan. Once you get the money, you can scrape together a little more and buy your own little house, the kind that no one can kick out. Doesn't that sound tempting?"

Fan Liangyu, "..."

She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Okay."

Su Hongying was satisfied and said, "A month will pass quickly. After I finish my postpartum confinement in a month, we can wrap things up."

Fan Liangyu nodded, then paused, turning his head to glance out of the ward a few times.

He whispered to her, "How do you plan to resolve things with Zhang Haijun? Zhang Haijun thinks he's found a kind and understanding woman he can spend his life with. If you flip the table now, he'll probably go crazy. And what if he retaliates against you when he's in a rage..."

Su Hongying smiled.

"Don't worry, he won't. He and his mother almost killed me, and I can easily take him down because of that! Besides..."

She looked at Fan Liangyu, raised her chin slightly, and said with a hint of smugness, "If I were really that stupid, how could I have found a family like Zhang Haijun's with three employees? I didn't have a job, and Zhang Haijun had plenty of suitable matches to choose from back then."
