Chapter 453: Gambling
At the end of last year, Zhao Laosi's wife gave birth to a baby, but it was not the grandson that Zhao's mother had been expecting, but a daughter.
After the child was born, Zhao's mother always had a sullen face, and everyone could tell at a glance that she was unhappy.
She was indeed not satisfied, and she regretted letting her daughter-in-law eat so well during her pregnancy. Such good things were wasted.
Even before he was discharged from the hospital, he was already thinking about getting the two of them divorced.
After all, the country has now introduced a family planning policy that prohibits having a second child, and the requirements are particularly strict.
Those who have formal jobs and want to have a second child will be directly punished and fired. Other ordinary people will be forced to have an abortion if they are discovered to be pregnant. Even if they hide and give birth to the child, they cannot avoid high fines in the end.
Zhao's mother thought that since it was so difficult to have another child, it would be better to divorce her and find another one. Then she could let her take the child away, and the next child would not be considered a second child. If she didn't want to, she could just give her some money. It was easy to deal with a girl from the countryside anyway.
But next time I won’t look for someone from the countryside, as she is not worthy of the fourth child in their family.
We have to find one from the city. Zhao's mother doesn't have high requirements. He must be educated, good-looking, and not a second marriage. It would be best if he has a decent job.
Only in this way can she be worthy of the fourth child in his family.
But these will have to wait for some time. The girl in front of her has to have her confinement period. She is not the kind of evil mother-in-law who won't even let her confinement period.
…
Zhao Laosi's wife didn't know about Zhao's mother's plans, but she knew something was not good just from the way her mother-in-law looked at her.
She thought it was because she had given birth to a daughter, so she had to be more cautious. She didn't even dare to complain if she didn't eat well during the confinement period, and she even went to work in the fields before the end of her confinement period.
She thought that doing this would make Zhao's mother happier.
As a result, one night when she came back from the bathroom, she heard Zhao's mother and Zhao Laosi talking behind her back about divorce and finding another partner, and Zhao Laosi did not object.
She felt a chill in her heart when she heard that.
It took me a long time to recover after returning to the room.
It was not until Zhao Laosi returned to the room that she returned to her previous appearance, lowering her head so that he would not notice the difference.
…
In the next few days, there was no change in Zhao Laosi's wife. She was still the same as before, but the neighbors noticed that she seemed to be much quieter and thought it was because she had given birth to a daughter.
Even the Zhao family didn't take her change seriously, after all, they were about to change their daughter-in-law.
But no one expected that such a rural daughter-in-law, who was looked down upon by everyone, would do such a big thing.
She went directly to the police station to report that Zhao Laosi was gathering people to gamble and the amount of money involved was huge.
Then, based on the location she provided, the police arrested Zhao Laosi and his group, who had become obsessed with gambling, directly at the stronghold!
Then, while the Zhao family was panicking and trying to find out what happened, he stole the money and ran away.
Even the children were left behind!
When the Zhao family's old couple got the news from the police station and came back to settle accounts with her, they only saw a hungry child crying...
The old couple of the Zhao family didn't care to get angry when they saw this, and they quickly called the police. However, there was no surveillance at the moment, so it was very difficult to find someone.
They could only go to her parents' home to ask, but she didn't go back either.
When I asked my parents for the person, they were also clueless and had no idea what was going on.
Zhao's mother was so angry that she wanted to make trouble, but they were in the countryside and there were many villagers who were on their side. It was useless for them to make trouble. The other side even turned the tables and said that the Zhao family had been sold out.
In the end, even the local police station stepped in, but they still couldn’t get to the bottom of the matter, and they still couldn’t find their runaway daughter-in-law!
