Wen Qiao knew that Lü Yazhi wanted to obtain the Lü family's recipes, but judging from the old lady's attitude and overly shrewdness, it probably wouldn't be so easy to get them.
After much thought, Wen Qiao came up with the idea of Lü Qian.
Wen Qiao wondered if Lü Qian would be willing to help. If she did help get the recipe, she thought she would give her some money as a reward.
Lü Qian is currently the most normal-looking member of the Lü family.
Mr. Lü was too shrewd, Ray Lui was too cowardly, and Wang Chunmei was a typical ordinary rural woman who was illiterate, unreasonable, and had no morals whatsoever.
Lu Yazhi's two younger sisters were sold by Old Lady Lu, and their fates are now unknown.
The eldest brother of the Lü family died young.
The second brother was a dull-witted person, and Lu Yazhi didn't know why he wasn't staying at home.
Only the good-for-nothing third brother, who is also Wen Qiao's uncle, is left to guard Grandma Lü.
It has to be said that the six children that Old Lady Lü gave birth to have brought her many benefits; they were not raised in vain.
The money from selling her three daughters alone would be enough for her to live on.
Otherwise, someone like Ray Lui, who could marry a seemingly shrewd wife, would have been impossible without the Lui family spending a lot of money.
Since they could no longer live in their old house, Wen Qiao and her mother decided to spend more time going to a hotel in the county town.
Lü Yazhi was in a bad mood. After a quick wash, she lay down and fell asleep.
Wen Qiao went outside to make a phone call.
She knew Shen Jichuan's schedule, and made the call at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.
"Wen Qiao, it's me. How are things on your end?"
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement and said, "I called you specifically because I was afraid you'd worry. Before I came, I was worried that my grandma's family was too big for me to handle, as they were unreasonable and difficult to deal with. But when I got here, I found out that there were only a few weaklings left. If things go smoothly tomorrow, I'll be able to go back soon."
Shen Jichuan was relieved to hear this.
"Don't confront them head-on. If something happens, just call the police. Don't worry about them coming to your door to cause trouble. I may not know them, but don't I know my wife? I will definitely stand by my wife."
Wen Qiao smiled.
"Of course I know you'll protect me."
"By the way, could you help me look into Yang Yang Xuelan? I discovered that someone deliberately spread the news about my mother and me in Beicheng to the countryside. Beicheng is so big, and my mother and I don't go back there often, nor have we ever contacted anyone back in our hometown. How could people back home know so much about my mother and me?"
"You suspect Yang Xuelan?" Shen Jichuan immediately understood Wen Qiao's meaning.
“Yes. There’s no evidence right now, but I want you to help me find out about Yang Xuelan’s current situation. I’m afraid the Lü family will tell Yang Xuelan about my mother and me coming to the countryside. If she leaves Beicheng in time, it will be difficult to find evidence. Before we leave our hometown, you should start investigating so that even if Yang Xuelan wants to leave, she can’t do so quickly.”
As Shen Jichuan listened to Wen Qiao's earnest words, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"My wife has become smarter now and knows to ask your husband for help when it matters."
Wen Qiao was speaking very seriously to Shen Jichuan, but unexpectedly, he started talking inappropriately. However, Wen Qiao was not disgusted; on the contrary, she felt quite embarrassed.
She had no choice but to lower her voice and say, "Don't talk nonsense. I made the call from the hotel front desk."
The receptionist at the hotel was a middle-aged woman, who was very curious and gossipy. While Wen Qiao was talking to Shen Jichuan on the phone, the woman pricked up her ears to listen.
Shen Jichuan's calm and composed voice came from the other end of the phone.
"So what? You're my wife. Can't I say a few words to my wife?"
