Chapter 74: Wenya Goes to Jail to Avenge Her Daughter-in-Law
Early the next morning
Xu Qiaofeng rushed back in the early hours of last night.
It was too late, so he didn't disturb the other family members. He didn't even go back upstairs to sleep, nor did he ask Zhang Sao to get up and tidy up the guest room. He just made do with the sofa downstairs all night.
After getting up early, Grandpa and Grandma Xu showered their grandson with concern and care.
Seeing that the person was alright, and even looked better than before, I finally felt relieved.
Upon learning that it was Ning Tang who gave Xu Qiaofeng a pill that caused his rapid recovery, the two elderly people looked at each other, their eyes filled with satisfaction for their granddaughter-in-law.
Sure enough, Tangtang was born to be the precious darling of the Xu family!
It's like a lucky star has arrived!
First, he saved his own life on the train, then he brought a child into his family that had no heirs, and so on...
Grandma Xu never attributed these successive good things to good fortune or luck; she was convinced that they were blessings brought by Ning Tang.
"Old man, I'm making this clear today: from now on, Tangtang will be at the top of our family's food chain. Anyone who dares to disobey her will be in for a world of trouble!"
Grandpa Xu smiled helplessly: "I like Tangtang too, how could I bear to bully her?"
Even so, she still turned to look at her grandson sitting on the sofa and threatened, "And you, kid, if you do anything outrageous in the future, you can leave, and we'll go live with Tangtang!"
Xu Qiaofeng: "...?"
Are you polite?
Just a moment ago they were praising the woodcutter and calling him pitiful, but now they've completely changed their tune?
Besides, if Tangtang tells him to go east, he would never dare to go west. How could he be a scoundrel who bullies his wife?
Xu Qiaofeng opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words to explain himself.
When he met the look in his grandparents' eyes, which seemed to say, "If you dare to contradict me, you'll be in big trouble," he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
So, his own grandson became completely disliked by everyone after his wife entered the family.
Just as I was feeling down, I heard soft footsteps coming from the stairs.
Ning Tang walked down the stairs wearing a light pink dress, and her steps suddenly stopped when she saw Xu Qiaofeng on the sofa.
"When did you get back? Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?" she asked in surprise.
She has gained more than ten pounds during this period of time thanks to the feeding by Aunt Zhang and her grandmother.
However, her face and figure haven't changed at all; on the contrary, her figure is even more perfect, with all the fat going to where it should have gone.
Su Ying, who gains weight even from drinking water, was incredibly envious.
A pink dress made Ning Tang look even more gentle, her belly slightly protruding, and she radiated a soft glow of maternal love.
It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.
Xu Qiaofeng took a while to look away, and stood up more lightly, afraid of startling her: "I arrived in the early morning, and I was too embarrassed to knock on the door since you were all sound asleep."
Seeing this, Grandma Xu immediately went to Ning Tang's side, took her hand and led her to the dining table.
"Never mind him, this kid is tough. He used to sleep in mud pits on missions, so he can sleep on the sofa for a night without any problem."
"Please sit down. I had Aunt Zhang get up early to cook you some millet porridge with eggs. It's still warm."
As she spoke, Grandma Xu glared at Xu Qiaofeng, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you see Tangtang came down? Hurry up and pull out her chair. It's infuriating to see you so clumsy. You really are just like your Xu family!"
Grandpa Xu touched his nose.
How could he say that in front of the children? Does he even care about his reputation anymore?
When Xu Qiaolan and Su Ying came downstairs, Grandma didn't show favoritism and asked Aunt Zhang to serve Su Ying another bowl of millet porridge with eggs.
Su Ying ate with great pleasure.
You should know that even though Grandpa Xu was the commander, the monthly ration coupon voting was fixed.
She's not as naive as Wenya. Now, the old lady treats Ning Tang like a precious gem, and the house is overflowing with delicious food these days.
Thanks to Ning Tang, Su Ying has been pregnant lately, which has given her the energy to dance.
Xu Qiaoyan arrived late, after the meal was finished.
"Qiaoyan, your elder brother and Qiaofeng will go with you later. They can help you if anything happens," Grandma Xu instructed. "You have a gentle nature; don't let the Wen family sell you out and then still be counting the money!"
"Okay, Grandma."
As for Su Ying and Ning Tang, they each did their own thing.
Quite by chance, Su Ying was able to travel part of the way to the performing arts troupe with Ning Tang.
Since what happened with Wenya, the relationship between the two has progressed rapidly.
They held hands the whole way.
"Tangtang, I've been eating the same food as you for the past few days, and I've even been trying to control my diet, but I still have two extra layers of fat around my waist."
As Su Ying spoke, she couldn't help but glance enviously at Ning Tang beside her: "You're so lucky, all you do is show your pregnant belly, your face hasn't changed at all, I'm so envious."
Ning Tang was amused.
She reached out and touched her lower abdomen.
The reason she doesn't look fat is largely because her body was poisoned by Ning's mother in the past.
Although I've been taking medication to recover during this period, it's not something that can be made up for overnight.
Ning Tang thought that weight didn't matter; she just hoped to recover her health so that she would have the strength to give birth.
The two parted ways after reaching the fork in the road.
Su Ying went to the performing arts troupe, and Ning Tang went to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, there was already a long line outside the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, more than the number of patients who had come to register in the previous month.
The nurse who had been following Ning Tang around was extremely surprised.
These patients are all military dependents who came because they heard about Ning Tang's excellent medical skills; they had to fight for a spot to register.
After waiting for a long time, they rushed over to Ning Tang the moment they saw her.
They all chimed in:
"Dr. Ning, my old leg pain is uncomfortable, could you take a look at it first?"
"Why should I check on you first? My husband injured his back during training yesterday, and he can't even straighten up yet. It's much worse than your old leg pain!"
"None of these are urgent matters, Dr. Ning. I got a fish bone stuck in my throat while eating fish. Could you help me get it out?"
The previously orderly queue instantly descended into chaos, with everyone wanting the doctor to see them first.
Seeing this, the nurse quickly went over to stop them, her face sweating with anxiety: "Don't push, Dr. Ning just arrived. Come one at a time, we can definitely finish seeing everyone before noon."
Ning Tang, however, remained calm.
He raised his hand high, his voice gentle yet weighty:
"Don't worry, everyone, no one will be left behind."
"But we have to see patients in order, that's fair, and it will also allow me to calm down and take your pulses. Don't you agree?"
Her words were sincere, and she truly had the ability to convince others.
The crowd, which had been making a ruckus just moments before, immediately fell silent.
Everyone lined up according to their registration number and walked into the consultation room one by one.
Not far away, Wang Xinlei hid in a corner and watched Ning Tang's domineering manner. She hated Ning Tang to the core!
She still remembered the time this woman embarrassed her in front of all her colleagues at the hospital.
If she doesn't avenge this, she'll have lived in vain!
Wang Xinlei's eyes lit up, and she instantly had an idea.
This morning she seemed to hear from the security guard downstairs that the people who caused trouble last time had come again; it was Dr. Ning's sister.
These two sisters don't get along, and if someone interferes...
Thinking of this, Wang Xinlei immediately took off her white coat and walked out of the hospital.
——
On the other side.
Subdistrict Office.
There are only two options for divorce now: either the couple reaches an agreement and goes through the formalities, or they file for divorce through litigation.
Wen's mother felt she had been wronged and wanted to sue for compensation.
In the end, it was Wen's father who stopped him.
They're really asking for trouble. They were clearly in the wrong, yet they still dare to ask for compensation?
If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.
In the end, even though Wenya and her mother were unwilling, they could only be forced by Wen's father to come to the neighborhood office for a divorce.
Fortunately, this neighborhood office wasn't where Wenya used to work.
Otherwise, even if she were to die, she would never come here to embarrass herself.
Upon arriving at the door and seeing Xu Qiaoyan, Wenya's eyes instantly reddened, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
It's as if men are unworthy of being human, heartless bastards.
Xu Qiaofeng rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Second Brother, once you've brought everything, hurry up and go in to complete the formalities."
"Okay, I'll go in right away."
Wenya glared at Xu Qiaofeng, "Why are you rushing me about my relationship with your second brother?"
Anyway, there's no turning back now that we're getting a divorce.
She simply stopped pretending.
"Xu Qiaofeng, do you know how despicable you've been these past three years!" Wenya's eyes widened, her face full of anger. "When I greeted you outside, you didn't even glance at me. Do you even know I'm your sister-in-law?"
Xu Qiaofeng picked at his ear.
The reason he ignored Wenya was because this woman had ill intentions.
She boasted in front of a group of people, and even asked herself to help her colleague's husband get a promotion.
After hearing this, Xu Qiaofeng scoffed, his eyes full of disdain.
He clearly wanted to say something, but swallowed it back out of respect for his second brother.
Forget it, let's not upset him.
But Wenya wouldn't have it, pointing at him and yelling, insisting that he finish his sentence.
Xu Qiaofeng was a maverick soldier, and this was the first time he had ever seen someone so eager to be insulted.
"Sister-in-law? You dare to call yourself that?"
“Back when you were using your sister-in-law’s name to boast about being able to pull strings for people, you didn’t deserve that title.”
"Now you have the nerve to mention the words 'sister-in-law'? I haven't forgotten about you drugging Tangtang."
After saying that, Xu Qiaofeng gave a sinister smile.
Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan, who knew his personality well, knew that once the formalities were completed, if the third brother really took action, Wenya wouldn't be able to escape.
Wen's father was shrewd; seeing things were going wrong, he quickly grabbed Wenya's arm.
He lowered his voice and advised, "Alright, let's get down to business first!"
"If this gets out of hand, it'll be a disgrace to the Wen family. Don't forget about your brother's upcoming promotion!"
Wenya was furious.
But he also knew that now was not the time for a head-on confrontation. If he really angered Xu Qiaofeng, Xu would definitely have a way to get himself killed without anyone noticing.
Just thinking about it terrified Wenya.
Not long after, the two came out of the neighborhood office.
The formalities have been completed, and there's absolutely no connection anymore.
When Xu Qiaoyan came out, his complexion wasn't good, but it was no longer as gloomy as before.
As the eldest brother, Xu Qiaolan went over to greet them and asked a few questions in a low voice. Seeing that the Wen family had not played any tricks, his expression softened considerably.
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Qiaofeng stood still and didn't move.
He stared intently at Wenya, like an eagle circling in the sky—intimidating and sharp.
Wenya sensed something was wrong and instinctively wanted to run away.
After walking only a few steps, they were stopped by a group of police officers in dark blue uniforms.
"Comrade Wenya, we have now investigated the matter of your alleged poisoning a few days ago and the evidence is conclusive. Please come with us."
"It wasn't me! I didn't do it!"
"Xu Qiaofeng must have bribed you. I'm not going with you!"
The moment Wenya saw the police, all color drained from her face, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
She knew that once she left, she might never return.
Xu Qiaofeng had no intention of letting her have an easy time. He deliberately let her go during this period of time! He just wanted her to divorce Xu Qiaoyan as soon as possible!
The lead policeman was very serious and wouldn't let go no matter how much Wenya made a fuss.
He looked at Mr. and Mrs. Wen and took out a record from his pocket: "This is the drug residue test report, and also your friend's testimony."
“Your friend has already said everything inside, the chain of evidence is complete, there is no question of bribery.”
"Please cooperate and do not obstruct official business."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Wenya's heart.
What a load of rubbish friends! They betrayed her the moment they went in!
Her eyes were filled with despair as she looked at Xu Qiaofeng, her teeth grinding together.
"Xu Qiaofeng, how cruel you are!"
"You abandoned Lu Niannian and me for that bitch Ning Tang. Who do you think you're being fair to?"
"Even if I go to jail, I won't let you get away with this! As for Ning Tang, I won't let her get away with it either!"
Hearing a threat.
The Wen family members instantly changed their expressions, almost wanting to rush over and cover Wenya's mouth!
At this point, they won't learn their lesson until they're faced with the consequences. If they've offended the Xu family, they're basically done for in Shengjing!
Xu Qiaofeng didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone as cold as ice.
"You're not going to let Tangtang go? You should take care of yourself first."
“I believe there are many people in prison who like your temper.”
This statement is quite pointed.
Wenya, who had grown up in a well-behaved manner, had never seen a prison before. When she suddenly heard Xu Qiaofeng say this, her legs went weak with fright.
If he hadn't been restrained by the police, he probably would have fainted.
This time, she's truly finished...
The police didn't delay any longer and carried the limp Wenya away.
The crying gradually faded into the distance.
Once her daughter's figure was out of sight, Wen's mother collapsed to the ground, covered her face, and wailed.
Wen's father, on the other hand, was ashen-faced and wanted to ask Xu Qiaofeng to show leniency.
Xu Qiaofeng didn't even glance at it before turning around and striding away.
——
Inside the hospital.
A morning has passed.
Ning Tang finally finished processing all the patients who had registered outside.
Just as we were about to go eat, the hospital director suddenly rushed over: "Dr. Ning, no matter how many patients there are this afternoon, send them all to other doctors."
"When Dr. Jin and his team come for a follow-up appointment, they'll run into doctors from Beijing who are here at our hospital to learn from each other."
"They specifically asked to see you perform the procedure, so be very careful and don't embarrass our military hospital."
When Ning Tang heard the dean say that doctors from the capital were coming, she was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I understand, Dean. I'll be ready this afternoon."
She wasn't flustered at all. She had been steady and methodical when treating Elder Jin and the others before. Even if doctors from Beijing came to observe, she could just follow the usual procedures.
The dean shook his head, clutching his heart.
He said with a strange look on his face, "You really need to be more careful. I don't know why, but my heart is pounding, like something big is about to happen."
Ning Tang thought he was just nervous.
My own emotions were also a bit tense.
After bidding farewell to the dean, Ning Tang headed towards the cafeteria. As she passed a fork in the corridor, a figure suddenly flashed past her.
She looked up at the sign on the wall.
He frowned slightly.
What is Wang Xinlei doing in the logistics department at midday?
