Now that things had come to this, He Ping had nothing left to hide, so he revealed Huo Tingzhou's instructions before he left.
“Our commander said that during his mission, he should not answer any calls except for the elders of the Huo family and his sister-in-law’s third uncle.”
At the time, He Ping didn't quite understand until he received a call from the Huo family the next day.
“The other party claimed to be our regimental commander’s older brother. I told him that our regimental commander was away on a mission, and he said he would have his sister-in-law come to answer the phone.”
“I asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn’t say.”
"I asked him three times, but he still wouldn't tell me, so I hung up the phone."
He Ping didn't care whether the person was angry or not; anyway, his commander had said not to answer any other calls.
"This person called two or three more times afterward, and each time his attitude was worse than the last."
He was still cursing and demanding that his sister-in-law call him back, saying that she owed him this.
Since then, He Ping has stopped answering his phone.
Unexpectedly, this person was still determined to do something and even called the communications unit.
Fortunately, the people from the communications unit didn't bypass him and go directly to the family compound to find his sister-in-law; otherwise, He Ping wouldn't know how to explain it to his regimental commander.
Jiang Si understood everything she heard.
Over the years, she had had almost no contact with the eldest branch of the Huo family. The fact that they were contacting her at this time was undoubtedly because of the Su family's affairs.
There was just one thing that Jiang Si couldn't understand.
You should have the right attitude when asking for help.
Where does he get the audacity and the audacity to say he owes him?
Huo's mother was also angered by her eldest son's shameless words, and immediately dragged Jiang Si to the communications unit.
She wanted to see what kind of ivory the boss could spew from his dog mouth.
If you can't give a coherent explanation, don't blame her for cleaning house today!
"Mom, have you thought it through?" Jiang Si asked.
Given her temper, if she makes this call, they will most likely have a falling out with the first wife.
She herself didn't care, since she could only go back to Beijing a few times a year anyway.
If you get along, say more; if you don't, say less.
However, if the relationship between the two families becomes too strained, the elders caught in the middle will likely face a difficult situation.
Seeing the worry on her face, Huo's mother stepped forward and patted her hand.
"Don't worry about us, your grandparents receive a monthly pension."
"Your dad and I earn decent salaries, we don't have to live at their mercy."
"Besides, they were in the wrong in the first place, so you don't need to give them any face."
With her mother-in-law's words, Jiang Si felt relieved: "Okay, I understand."
Soon, Huo's mother dialed Huo Tingtao's office number. After the call was connected, Jiang Si took the receiver.
"This is Jiang Si. What do you want by calling me?"
These past few days, Huo Tingtao has been extremely upset because of losing his child.
Adding to his frustration was his inability to contact the third brother, and he was seething with anger with nowhere to vent it.
Upon hearing that it was Jiang Si calling, Huo Tingtao let out a cold laugh.
"My third sister-in-law really has such a big attitude..."
"Speak your mind directly, don't waste my time, and there's no need for any airs."
Jiang Si laid it all out in the open: "If you're trying to plead for the Su family, I advise you to save your breath."
"Third sister-in-law, do you have to be so ruthless? They are, after all, my in-laws. What good will this do you?"
Huo Tingtao took a deep breath and softened his attitude somewhat.
"Wanwan was wrong, but she has already received the punishment she deserved. Can you please let the Su family off the hook for the sake of me and your sister-in-law?"
"Besides, Wanwan didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Hearing this, Jiang Si laughed in anger.
"Brother, you make that sound so easy. Does her failure mean she didn't harm anyone?"
"You should be glad she didn't succeed, otherwise, given Tingzhou's temper, the Su family's fate would have been even worse than it is now."
"And that last sentence, you should go back and ask your good father-in-law about it."
"When they were targeting me at every turn, did they ever think that I was the daughter-in-law of the Huo family? Did they ever think that I was your sister-in-law? What benefit did they gain from doing this?"
"you!"
"Stop with all that 'you, you, me, me,' I haven't finished speaking yet."
Jiang Si sneered, "As the eldest son of the Huo family, I don't expect you to be fair and just, nor do I expect you to be fraternal, but at the very least you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, right?"
"And what happened? Your in-laws made a mistake, and instead of advising and restraining them, you helped them turn the tables and blame others."
"You, as the eldest son of the family, have truly lost all sense of shame!"
Jiang Si didn't care whether he lived or died and just unleashed a barrage of attacks.
Huo Tingtao was rendered speechless by the retort, which made him so angry that he rolled his eyes on the spot.
He had never met a woman as difficult as her.
Indeed, women shouldn't read too many books; the more they read, the more uncontrollable they become!
Seeing that Jiang Si wouldn't listen to reason or threats, Huo Tingtao resorted to shameless tactics.
"Third sister-in-law, I can't match your eloquence or argue with you, but I'll put my words out there today."
"I don't care what methods you and Lao San use, you must get my father-in-law out within three days!"
"Because this is what you two owe us!"
“If you hadn’t been so insistent on making things difficult and escalating the situation to this point, your sister-in-law wouldn’t be crying every day.”
"She's already more than six months pregnant. Have you ever thought about how she can have a peaceful pregnancy when her family is in trouble?"
