"Give it to me." Xie Xiuhua rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to Lan Guangxue.
“It’s in my pocket. Help me inside, and I’ll give it to you.” Lan Guangxue’s gaze held a malicious intent.
Xie Xiuhua pursed her lips and stepped forward to help Lan Guangxue.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now." Wang Xiaobao took the opportunity to slip away.
Since Lan Guangxue was injured and no one was willing to cooperate with him in petty theft, and he couldn't do bad things nearby by himself, he could only go far away to hunt for food for a few days and then return when Lan Guangxue recovered.
"Xiao Bao, where are you going?" Xie Xiuhua called out to him.
"I'm going away for a few days, take good care of him." Wang Xiaobao pointed at Lan Guangxue. "Sister-in-law, don't listen to that bitch Su Xiaonuan. She's just smearing Lan Yin. I don't believe Lan Yin went to jail. If that were true, her husband would spend money to get her out."
“You can’t leave!” Xie Xiuhua said. “He’s not able to move around easily right now, and I, a woman, can’t take care of him.”
"Wang Xiaobao, come inside with me. I have something to discuss with you." Lan Guangxue looked at Wang Xiaobao with a sinister gaze.
"Just say what you have to say here," Wang Xiaobao said impatiently.
"How can I say anything looking like this?" Lan Guangxue glared at him. "At least let me lie down comfortably before you can talk."
"Alright, alright, I'll go inside with you and make sure you're comfortable before we talk." Wang Xiaobao came forward irritably, and he and Xie Xiuhua helped him into the house, heading straight for the bedroom. The bench in the main room wasn't enough for him to lie down comfortably.
As soon as Fulan Optics lay down, Xie Xiuhua immediately stretched out her right hand. "Where's the money? Give it to me now!"
Lan Guangxue took out some money from his pocket, counted out one hundred yuan, and handed it to her. "Here's one hundred yuan. Use the rest to buy some nutritional supplements to help me recover."
"No problem." Xie Xiuhua put the money in her pocket and said happily. "I'll go kill a chicken and stew it for you to nourish yourself."
Upon hearing that a chicken was to be killed, Wang Xiaobao decided not to leave and plopped down on the edge of the bed. "Speak!"
"I plan to go to the provincial capital once I've recovered from my injury."
"You're going to the provincial capital?" Wang Xiaobao exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't we say we had to wait until Auntie was more established before we could go?"
"Why listen to her?" Lan Guangxue scoffed. "I'm not going to see that old hag. I'm taking Xie Xiuhua with me to the provincial capital."
"Aren't you afraid your aunt will make a scene if she finds out?"
"Let's make a scene and get a divorce, what's the big deal?" Lan Guangxue scoffed.
"What? You want a divorce?" Xie Xiuhua brewed a pot of tea and brought it in. Although she didn't like Lan Guangxue, she still treated him like a VIP because he was rich.
"Wouldn't divorce be better?" Lan Guangxue looked up at her. "That way, I can marry you legitimately."
"But I have two more children to raise. Can you afford to raise them?"
"You look down on me that much?" Lan Guangxue stared at her fiercely. "I've treated you like my woman, and your child is mine too. If I have food, you and your two children will have some as well."
“But the children need to go to school, and school costs a lot of money. I don’t have much education myself, but I want my children to be able to go to university in the future.”
"Okay, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I guarantee to support your children through college."
"Alright then." Xie Xiuhua said nothing more. As long as someone would raise her child, she was willing to marry Lan Guangxue. It was better than being gossiped about every day.
"Then take a look, rent out the farmland at home, and come with me to the provincial capital in a few days!"
"Go to the provincial capital?" Xie Xiuhua waved her hands anxiously. "I'm not going."
"Sister-in-law, you're already planning to follow Lan Guangxue. If you don't go with him, will you suffer in the village?" Wang Xiaobao had long wanted to go to the provincial capital to make a living. As a small-time hoodlum, he had never seen much of the world and only knew how to commit crimes in different towns and villages. He didn't dare to go to big cities to make a living.
"What about Xiaojun and Xiaoya?" Xie Xiuhua asked worriedly. "They're both in school, I can't abandon them. I'm going to the provincial capital. You two go ahead, I'll come see you when the children are on holiday."
"Are you stupid?" Lan Guangxue glanced at Xie Xiuhua's rosy face. "Leave Xiaojun and Xiaoya in the care of your in-laws for now. We'll come back and take them to the provincial capital to develop our careers once we've established ourselves."
Xie Xiuhua has been eating well lately, and her complexion is getting better and better, becoming more and more rosy. Lan Guangxue is drooling just looking at her.
“Sister-in-law, you need to broaden your horizons. Look at Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan. They’ve only been in the provincial capital for a short time, and they’ve already become big bosses. They’ve bought cars and houses and are living the high life. What future do you think you can have with Xiaojun and Xiaoya staying in this village?” Wang Xiaobao’s heart was already in the provincial capital.
In his view, money was plentiful in the provincial capital, and one could get rich there.
"Do you think your parents will agree to help me take care of the children?" Xie Xiuhua knew very well that her in-laws were extremely selfish. How could they possibly help her take care of two children without offering them benefits?
"Why don't they take care of the two children if they give them living expenses every month?" Lan Guangxue waved his hand. "Give them twenty yuan a month, and they will definitely take care of them. Besides, Xiaojun and Xiaoya are not babies. Both children can do things. Asking them to take care of them is just an excuse. Maybe the two children will take care of them."
"Then you'll pay for it?" Xie Xiuhua is the same; she'll never let go of any opportunity to gain something. She definitely won't use the money she just got, and she'll try to get Lan Guangxue to pay for whatever she can.
“I’ll pay, I’ll pay.” Lan Guangxue nodded several times with an unsettling smile on his lips. “Later, you and Xiaobao go to see the two elders and explain the situation to them. Once we’ve settled down, we’ll come back to take the two children away.”
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my parents." Wang Xiaobao stood up and waved. "Sister-in-law, hurry up and stew the chicken. I'll invite my parents over to eat later. Make a couple more dishes so we can all chat while we eat."
"Okay." Xie Xiuhua agreed without hesitation. Anyway, she couldn't earn money in the village. The village could help her get a job in the factory, but she had farm work to do. She could only do farm work and some handicrafts at the same time. She wasn't the kind of woman who was good with her hands, so she couldn't earn much money.
"Xiuhua, come here and put another pillow under my head." Lan Guangxue said casually, as if he were instructing his own woman.
"Okay." Xie Xiuhua obediently came to his side.
While she was putting a pillow under Lan Guangxue's head, he took the opportunity to take advantage of her.
"You rascal, you're already injured like this, why don't you behave yourself?" Xie Xiuhua scolded, seemingly trying to be friendly.
"Baby, I got all this hurt because of you?" he said, his lewd hand reaching inside her clothes...
"Don't make it sound so nice. What do you mean by 'for me'? Weren't you two just trying to extort money from the Xiao family?"
"You heartless bastard, all the money I made ended up in your pocket again!" He reached his hand out from under her clothes and poked her forehead. "If it weren't for you guys, would I be working so hard to earn money? After all, my daughter married a big boss in the provincial capital. Do you think Lan Yin would abandon her own father?"
