Chapter 97 I know the whereabouts of Yu Haizu
Wu Haiyao didn't say a word, but Wu Caixia beside him exploded first.
"Why? Why are you removing Ah Yao's accounting position?" She rubbed her waist and cursed.
Yu Zhile glanced at the two of them and sneered, "You want to act crazy and miserable, but you don't want to lose your iron rice bowl. Don't you think you are too greedy?"
The plan was bluntly exposed, Wu Caixia looked at Wu Haiyao in panic.
Wu Haiyao was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and made a choice, saying, "I don't know what you are talking about. Since the village no longer needs me, I will naturally not beg for mercy."
"Ah Yao." Wu Caixia tugged at his sleeve, but he glared at her and she suddenly let go.
Yu Zhile walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "I forgot to mention that I also gave you a big gift."
Her words made Wu Caixia feel panic for no reason, but seeing Wu Haiyao's gloomy expression, she dared not say a word.
After Yu Chaochuan and his son left, he came up with two plans.
If Wu Lan was seriously ill, he would pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to win Yu Chaochuan's sympathy and take away all the money he had.
If Wu Lan only had a minor illness or pain, he would find an opportunity later to make her "seriously ill" and spend all the family's money, and then use public opinion to force Yu Chaochuan to give her money every month.
Yesterday, Wu Caixia and Wu Lan talked for half the night.
Wu Lan knew that she would not live for many more years, and she wanted to leave something for her only son, so she complained this morning.
At this moment, Wu Lan heard the news in the health center that her disease could be cured.
She was brought here by her neighbor, the old lady with a gap. In the past two days, Dr. Jiang has been giving moxibustion to the villagers for free.
"Really?" She couldn't believe it.
The old lady with the gap-tooth whispered, "He is a half-immortal from Xishan Village. He has cured many people, but he wants 500 yuan to shut the mouth of the ghost catcher."
At first, Chen Zhaochuan's version was that her illness could be cured by a secret remedy.
Unexpectedly, after the words were passed around by several people, they took on a supernatural color.
"Lan, five hundred dollars can buy you ten or twenty more years of life. It's worth it." The old lady with the gap pulled her hand and persuaded her, "If you lose money, you can earn it again. Your family Ah Yao has a promising future. Besides, doesn't Da Guang's family have plenty of money? If you can't make it, go and borrow some."
The situation yesterday was chaotic. The details of the Yu family's division had not yet been revealed, and the villagers did not know that Yu Chaochuan had severed ties with the mother and her two children.
When Wu Lan heard the second half of her sentence, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
After waking up in the hospital last night, she thought for a long time before she realized that she had fallen into Yu Haiguang's trap.
Besides, the money in Yu Haiguang's family originally belonged to her family's Ah Yao. It was only natural to use it to treat her illness. There was no question of whether to lend it or not.
Thinking of this, Wu Lan's breathing tightened and she said, "I'll go home and discuss it with Ah Yao."
"Hey, don't be impatient, it will be your turn soon." The old lady with the gap in her mouth shouted as she watched her leaving, but her body moved towards her seat.
Wu Lan hurried home and said anxiously: "Ah Yao, my disease can be cured. It only costs 500 yuan. It's in Xishan Village——"
"It can't be cured." Wu Haiyao blurted out, interrupting her.
Just now, he had been thinking about what Yu Zhile said before he left, and he couldn't figure it out.
The moment he heard Wu Lan's words, he understood the meaning of "gift" and realized that it was a sentence she set.
"Ah Yao, what did you say?" Wu Lan asked in surprise.
Wu Haiyao didn't notice her expression. He was only thinking about how to break Yu Zhile's trap. He said impatiently, "It can't be cured. Don't listen to Yu Zhile's nonsense."
"No, that little bitch didn't say that." Wu Lan explained.
Wu Haiyao ignored her and stared at the ground, talking to himself.
Wu Lan looked lonely and returned to the main house in silence.
At the same time, at the gate of the provincial cannery, He Youan was waiting for Peilan to get off work.
"She wouldn't dare to come out in broad daylight," Yu Peilan said helplessly, "Besides, the factory is only one street away from the family housing."
He Youan took the army green bag from her and said, "It's hard to say. Her current mental state cannot be guessed by ordinary people. I'll be waiting for you to get off work these few days."
"Okay, okay, okay." Yu Peilan responded repeatedly.
July is the season for yellow peaches. The factory’s canned yellow peach production line has been restarted and is being adjusted these days.
Yu Peilan was promoted at the end of June. As the deputy factory manager, she had to lead by example and become a role model for the workers. She was always the last person to leave every day.
"Did you go to the state-owned restaurant? I smell the delicious food."
"Yes, Director Yu has worked hard these past few days, so I bought some sweet and sour pork ribs and stewed chicken to reward you."
"It's a solid dish, but not as delicious as Lele's. I miss her."
"When you're done with this busy period, we'll take a leave and go back home for a few days. Dad just happened to be back."
The couple chatted and walked home side by side.
Little did they know that Yu Taohong was only separated from them by a wall. She leaned against the wall, listening to their voices getting farther and farther away, with a complicated look in her eyes.
As night fell, she sneaked into the cannery's staff building, holding a kitchen knife, just like she did the night before.
It was not yet late at night, but the sounds of children crying, quarreling, and dogs barking mixed together, making the family building seem particularly lively.
The noise masked some of the noise for Yu Taohong, and also made her careless and ignore the unusual birdsong.
She leaned against the wall, took a few deep breaths, and then reached out and knocked on Yu Peilan's door.
The door opened and she suddenly appeared, waving the knife in her hand wildly. After a few seconds, she realized that there was no one in front of her.
The next second, she was tackled to the ground from behind, with her face pressed to the ground.
"Let me go, let me go." Yu Taohong continued to struggle, staring at the kitchen knife that was only one step away from her. "I'm going to kill you, Yu Peilan, I'm going to kill you."
He Youan kicked the kitchen knife away, shattering her last hope.
"Brother He, we're leaving first." A police officer twisted her arms and forced her to stand up.
He Youan nodded, and when he saw Yu Peilan coming out of the room, he stepped forward to block her eyes.
"Yu Peilan, look at me, look at me." Yu Taohong shouted, still struggling.
Yu Peilan held He Youan's hand, regained her vision, and looked expressionlessly at Yu Taohong who was in a state of madness.
During the struggle, a small cloth bag fell out of her pocket.
Yu Taohong suddenly gave up resisting, and when she looked up again, her face was covered in tears and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Sister Peilan, I'm here to apologize to you. I know I've let you down, and I'm here to make amends. The five hundred dollars is compensation."
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have competed with you for your favor. Can you please let me go? We have the same blood in our veins. Can you please let me go?"
Yu Peilan watched her cry and beg for mercy coldly, without any hesitation in her heart. She had been deceived by Yu Taohong too many times.
Seeing that she didn't react, Yu Taohong calmed down and said, "I'll make a deal with you. I know where Yu Haizu is."
"Where is he?" Yu Peilan's face changed and she rushed to her. "Tell me, where is he?"
Yu Haizu is her third brother, a few minutes older than her, and was abducted by human traffickers when he was five years old.
Yu Chaochuan was at sea at the time, and it was two months later when he returned. It was because of this incident that he decided to remarry.
"Let me go and I will tell you." Yu Taohong curled up the corners of her mouth into a smile.
He Youan put his arm around Yu Peilan's shoulders and said, "Peilan, she's lying. She wasn't even born when the third brother was kidnapped!"
"I heard it from my mother and my brother." Yu Taohong interrupted, "Don't you find it strange? Why did my mother become your stepmother?"
Yu Peilan looked at He Youan with tears in her eyes.
"She is lying, don't believe her." He Youan continued to persuade.
Yu Peilan's vision became blurred and she could not clearly see the smug smile on Yu Taohong's lips.
"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it," said Yu Taohong.
"Ten, nine... three, two, one." She shrugged. "So, in He Youan's eyes, your brother's future is not as good as his."
After saying this, she broke free from the hand of the man behind her and picked up the knife.
When Yu Peilan turned around, she moved her hand and a line of blood appeared on her neck, splashing onto Yu Peilan's face.
"Tell me, where is he?" Yu Peilan was stunned for a few seconds, then stepped forward and covered her wound.
Blood gushed out, Yu Taohong's eyes widened, staring at He Youan not far away, as if saying that everything was his fault.
"I won't be fooled by you again." Yu Peilan said before Yu Taohong died.
The next day, the news that the crazy woman in Haidong Town had stabbed people and fled reached the provincial capital, causing panic among the people.
The police station immediately sent people to each street to explain and tell them that the criminals had been brought to justice, and the turmoil was finally calmed down.
On the same day, people in Haiyu Village learned the news of Zhang Haiyan's divorce and immediately forgot about the Yu family's affairs and started talking about it.
In just half a day, the Zhang family's door was almost trampled to pieces by the villagers, and everyone wanted to know what happened.
"What does Aunt Zhang think?" Yu Zhile added firewood to the stove and turned his head to ask Zhang Wenxin.
They are boiling seaweed to make four-fruit soup.
"I don't know. She asked my father to go to the textile factory to ask for a few days off and pass on a message to the guests. Then she stayed in the room making clothes." Zhang Wenxin shook her head and frowned. "My aunt's father-in-law is her immediate superior. She will definitely be targeted when she returns."
Yu Zhile lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, then said, "Why not let my aunt take the exam for the canning factory?"
On the day the cannery was recruiting, hundreds of people from the surrounding villages showed up, creating a sea of black people that scared the recruiters.
Only a few people were recruited this time, and the quotas were divided internally on the day the news came out. The recruitment exam was just a formality, and they didn't prepare so many test papers.
As a result, the cannery's recruitment time was postponed for ten days, and the exam would be held two days later.
"Hey, what a good idea." Zhang Wenxin hugged Yu Zhile and praised, "Lele, you are so smart."
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "If my sister-in-law doesn't like it, we still have job opportunities in state-owned restaurants and sideline groups to choose from."
"Le Le, you're so nice." Zhang Wenxin buried his face in her neck.
Zhou Yuesheng saw this scene again. He broke the warm atmosphere and said, "Someone is looking for you."
