Han Li listened to Zhong Mengyi making wishes for her family and didn't stop her from talking until she was done.
Grandpa Liu listened from inside the room. He was convinced that his daughter-in-law was absolutely fine, given the contest between the women.
Back then, they weren't afraid of fighting the Japanese, so why should the small Hu family, with their powerful backers, have anything to fear?
As Zhong Mengyi spoke eloquently about the benefits of defeating the Mo family, Han Li listened coldly.
Knowing that Han Li was also considering the pros and cons, Zhong Mengyi tried her best to persuade him, despite the power of pillow talk.
Every family in the compound has their own ulterior motives, and over the years they've all been secretly jealous of each other.
The deputy commander of the Liu family had been working with the Mo family and had no chance of promotion, so the Hu family wanted to make their move from there.
"So what's the solution?"
"I need your help, you'll see when the time comes."
"What's the solution?"
"You wait here, I'll be over tonight."
"Alright, I'll wait. This matter needs to be handled as soon as possible."
Hu Lina knew no one was home at the moment, so she dragged her heavy body to get dressed, waiting to go out and cause trouble for Song Yining.
The two members of the Hu family stayed in the study, waiting for Zhong Mengyi to bring back news.
Hu Lina had wrapped herself up tightly, which puzzled the guards at the door.
"Halt! Who are you? Let us verify your identity."
Hu Lina was thinking of causing trouble for Song Yining, and the soldier told her to stop because she was wrapped up too tightly.
Quickly put down the scarf, let them confirm who you are, and then hurry out.
Hu Lina was unaware that she had a tail following her.
Since last night, Mo Chenzhi has sent people to guard the Hu family and monitor their movements.
Therefore, whenever their family members go out, they are closely watched.
Hu Lina followed her memories to a place she used to frequent as a child.
"I'm looking for my cousin."
She knocked on the door and said she was looking for her cousin, which was their secret code. The person at the door knew she was someone they knew and opened the door to let her in.
When Hu Lina went inside, the person who came looked familiar and knew that they had been here before.
"Brother Qiang, I'd like to buy some potent aphrodisiacs from you. Also, could you send some people to do something for me? I'll pay you in return."
After hearing about the matter to be handled, Qiang Ge pondered it deeply, and he was reluctant to go to that place to stay as it seemed like a bad omen.
Seeing that Hu Lina was also hesitating, he said, "Your place isn't for ordinary people. It's risky for me to come here, so I'd better not. I'm in a difficult situation."
Hu Lina knew he was trying to make a quick buck, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth, take her most treasured possessions, and reluctantly part with them!
He took two small yellow croakers out of his pocket and placed them on the table. Qiang Ge's eyes lit up immediately.
"Girl, just wait patiently for the good news."
Hu Lina gave the exact location and the information she had gathered.
"Once you two succeed, that beautiful woman will be completely devoted to you."
"Then we'll wait and see."
Hu Lina is now waiting for good news when she gets back, to see how they will proceed with their engagement tomorrow.
The gloom in my heart slowly dissipated, and despite feeling unwell, I walked towards another courtyard of their house.
The house looks unremarkable from the outside, but the inside is a different story; it's filled with the benefits they've collected over the years.
Before entering the courtyard, he checked the surroundings to make sure there were no suspicious people before taking the key to open the door and go inside.
The person following can only note the location and wait for further instructions from their superior.
Hu Lina didn't stay long before someone peeked out, and seeing that no one was around, quickly hurried back to the compound.
At home, Zhong Mengyi didn't know if her mother had discovered her presence. After speaking with the Liu family, she realized that her mother hadn't found out.
She returned home while the iron was hot to report her findings to her father-in-law and husband, only to find them already discussing how to proceed.
When Hu Lina returned, she only heard people talking in the study, so she quickly went back to her room.
Han Li now knew that the Hu family had quite an appetite, and that's why they came up with such a plan.
Old Master Liu was also thinking of avoiding people and going to the Mo family to discuss what had just happened.
If this matter is handled poorly, they might not have a good life in the future, so they have no choice but to quickly inform the Mo family.
Grandpa Mo stayed home today and didn't go out. Hearing that the Hu family still had a big appetite, he thought he should resolve the trouble as soon as possible.
If you want to mess with them, you should first consider whether you have the strength to do so. They've all been through thick and thin.
They are not to be trifled with by these incompetent people.
Old Master Liu sneaked into the Mo family's residence, and when they saw the old man arrive, they knew something was up.
"Old Mo, be careful tonight. They might cause trouble at your house tomorrow. Zhong Mengyi from the Hu family just came over and told my daughter-in-law that she wants to harm your family and asked my son to go up there."
"You should still be careful. These people are capable of anything for their own benefit."
We've all been through gunfire and bullets, and we disdain doing this, but they feel that's the only way to get what they want.
The Hu family has threatened the interests of the powerful family; we can't just let them get away with this. Maybe we can find out who's behind them.
"Okay, I understand. Leave this to them. We'll just keep things under control from behind. It's up to the younger generation."
Grandpa Liu shared the same thought. In recent years, he has been quite content just looking after his second grandson and not having to worry about anything else.
"Exactly. Haven't you noticed how I've been living like this for the past few years? It's time for the younger generation to step up."
"Let's just have some tea and take a stroll and let them do what they want, so we don't have to worry about it."
"I have to say, my wife really did a great job on this. She truly lives up to her name, the Iron Lady. Now I feel much more at ease."
"So just enjoy your life and don't think too much. Let them gain more experience and they'll come out stronger."
In the late afternoon, Zhong Mengyi took several things to the Liu family. When Han Li saw those things, his face darkened and he dared not look at them.
"Why did you bring these things to my house? You're going to ruin our family."
"Oh dear! My dear in-law, this is for you to find a way to get into the Mo family, don't rush, it's not for your family."
"Hey! I knew it!"
"Don't worry, we're going to be in-laws, how could I possibly harm you?"
"Sigh! This is all because of all this commotion. Now everyone is living on tenterhooks."
"I have no choice but to do this. Just do it and leave the rest to us."
In the afternoon, Han Li took a small bag containing his belongings and pretended to go to the Mo family. After staying for a while, he hurried home.
The Hu family has already made arrangements, and they will see the results tomorrow.
The Liu family handed those items to Mo Chenzhi's men, and then they waited.
Seeing that Han Li had already gone to the Mo family and hadn't left again after returning, one could tell that the matter had been accomplished.
The Hu family has been feeling confident that the matter is a sure thing these past two days, and they are unable to eat or sleep at home.
What they didn't expect was that Zhong Mengyi took everything from the Liu family and brought it to their own home intact.
