Chapter 96 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"Your third aunt."
Mrs. Qian opened the door, and the noisy sound squeezed in from the crack of the door, making the eardrums of the three people hurt. She went outside for a walk before coming back to report the news.
"It seems that they said that they couldn't find your cousin when they came back, and asked a few children. They said that he was kidnapped by a beggar and is making a fuss outside right now."
Thinking of her grandfather who fell into the river while fishing in the wild and not knowing what happened to him, Zhong Qiao walked out with the child in her arms. When Ji Hebai saw her leaving, he frowned and followed her.
As I walked through the crowd, I saw my third aunt, who was always so arrogant and looked like her eyes were on top of her head, sitting on the ground and crying heart-wrenchingly.
"My son, my son! How could this happen to you?"
On the side were the old man and his wife, Old Man Zhong. Old Man Zhong's eyes were red at the moment. He was pacing back and forth like an angry buffalo, scratching his head desperately from time to time, looking like he was about to explode.
"You're really crazy!" He spread his hands in frustration. "Look at you, you're so lazy at home. My brother never asked you to do any work, but he asked you to look after a child, and you can actually lose him? You, you, you."
After all, she was not his own wife. Even though the old man was very unhappy, he did not dare to vent in front of so many people.
The eldest brother sighed, his tone somewhat disappointed: "I have already informed the third brother, you can explain the rest to him yourself!"
When my third aunt heard this, she trembled and cried.
Normally, Zhong Laosan could still spoil herself because she gave birth to a precious son for him. But now that this son is lost, Zhong Laosan will never give her any face and it is possible that he will divorce her.
Nowadays, if a woman is divorced, she can’t even hold her head up in her parents’ home!
Zhong Qiao walked up to Zhong's mother, who had a complicated expression on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what happened? Was Zhong Long kidnapped?"
Mother Zhong was afraid that she would be implicated, so she quickly pulled her aside. After taking several deep breaths, she whispered, "That's right! You'd better not provoke her. She's going crazy!"
"As soon as we got home, we saw her searching the entire yard for him, but she couldn't find him. Later, when we asked some of Zhong Long's closest friends, we learned that he had been kidnapped by a beggar. When your third aunt heard this, she was completely devastated."
Zhong Qiao nodded and said thoughtfully, "Mom, it's Zhong Hong and his wife."
Mrs. Zhong was frightened every day, and she was shocked even more when she heard this.
"You can't say that casually. How can you be so sure?"
Zhong Qiao raised his eyes and explained the whole cause and effect seriously. Mother Zhong was stunned at first, then she became furious and wanted to take out a knife and kill the black-hearted Zhong Hong and his wife.
"They are such ungrateful, black-hearted people!" Zhong's mother cursed in a low voice. "Back then, out of pity for her, your father and I lent her a lot of money. Two thousand was a lot of money back then. I tried to persuade her to use the money to get a divorce and start a new life with the children, but she just didn't live up to her word and turned around and handed the money to Zhong Wei!"
"Bah! She was born with a worthless life! Now she's plotting against my family! I'll beat her to death tomorrow!"
"Mom, calm down first." Zhong Qiao sighed, "This matter is not that simple. Didn't they say today that grandpa fell into the water? How come I just looked and nothing happened?"
Mother Zhong was stunned. "We went there and found out that your aunt was exaggerating. Dad just accidentally stepped on the mud by the river and fell. The ground is soft, so it's not a big deal."
Thinking about how his aunt had sent them away today, and then a thief broke into the house, one thing after another, Zhong Qiao couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.
"Mom, don't alert the enemy yet." She patted the back of Zhong's mother's hand and expressed her suspicion. Zhong's mother was frightened and thought to herself that people are evil.
After hearing the final news, and adding up the number of people who wanted to harm their family, there were already three or four people. Mother Zhong took a breath, squeezed Zhong Qiao's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Separate the family."
Her eyes burned like fire.
"We must separate."
Zhong Qiao felt deeply relieved.
As expected, she had to be given a strong dose of medicine to break the illusion of the family she had relied on for so long, and to understand the treacherous nature of human nature so that she could start her own business.
After comforting Mrs. Zhong for a while, a commotion broke out in the crowd again.
It was Zhong Laosan who came back after hearing the news and asked about the current situation. When he found out that Zhong Long had no news, he immediately became furious and vented his anger on his third aunt.
"You lazy bitch! What have you been doing at home? All day long you've either been playing mahjong with your group of girlfriends or eating melon seeds. Now, you've even lost your son! Are you satisfied?"
He was so angry that he grabbed a wooden stick and was about to beat his third aunt.
"I'm going to beat you to death today, you're the unlucky jinx that brings misfortune to my family!"
The expressions of everyone present changed.
Apart from my third aunt, the only one who was most afraid was Cui Liu.
She hid in the crowd, nestled in Boss Zhong's arms, looking like an elder with a broken heart and grief-stricken expression. If you looked closely, you could see that her legs were trembling.
This matter has become a big deal.
Cui Liu closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at all.
She just wanted to get rid of Zhong Qiaosheng's money-losing item, and she had no idea that the matter would become so big! Zhong Wei and Zhong Hong were really useless. They couldn't even handle such a small matter, and they made such a big fuss.
If she was discovered, not only would she go to jail, but even if she wasn't, how would she survive? She would definitely be divorced and kicked out of the house! At worst, she would become enemies with the Third Brother's family.
This is really shooting oneself in the foot!
Now she could only pray silently that Zhong Wei would just do it to the extreme so that Zhong Long would not be able to come back, or let this incident pass as soon as possible.
It must not, must not be discovered by others!
"Dad, I really know I was wrong." My third aunt cried and begged for mercy, kowtowing desperately on the ground. "But this really can't be entirely blamed on me. I was just playing mahjong for a while, and who knew the child would disappear."
When she thought about her baby son who she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy was kidnapped and his life or death was unknown, she was heartbroken and wanted to kill herself. In addition, she was forced by Zhong Lao San in public, and her heart was full of pain and anger!
"If I can't find my son, I won't live anymore!"
After saying that, she lay down on the ground and cried.
"Come on, kill me. If killing me can bring my son back, then kill me."
Zhong Laosan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and after holding back for a few breaths, he finally threw the wooden stick to the ground.
Third Aunt thought he had softened his heart, and quickly called out piteously, "Third Brother, I..."
"divorce."
The man's firm and cold words answered her, like ice, piercing her already broken heart.
"If we can't find our son, we'll get divorced."
My third aunt stared at him with eyes wide open, in great shock, tears streaming down her face.
