Yuan Yi snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Wu Meixiang, lying on the hospital bed next to her, cried, "Sister, stop making a scene. What will we do if you disturb Brother Yuan Yi too? We don't know when Dad will be able to come. I'm so scared."
"What are you crying for? All you do is cry. What good does crying do?"
Wu Siyu turned around and yelled fiercely at Wu Meixiang. This time, Wu Meixiang didn't dare to say anything.
The ward fell silent for a moment, with only Wu Meixiang's soft sobs. Wu Siyu stared intently in the direction Yuan Yi had left, her eyes sinister and terrifying, spreading like a venomous snake.
Meng Fuyan, I will make sure you... suffer a terrible death!
At this time in Changning City, in a three-bedroom apartment in the staff quarters of the machinery factory, Wu Guozhu's family had already received the telegram from the Banqiao Brigade.
Wu Chengye was killed by wild animals, and only some broken body fragments were found. Wu Siyu's face was bitten and disfigured. Only Wu Meixiang was in slightly better condition, with only an injured arm.
The house has three bedrooms and one living room. The house is relatively well-decorated. It was a family housing unit that was built a few years ago. It is one of the newest houses in the machinery factory's family housing. It was rented to Wu Guozhu by his subordinates.
Having grown accustomed to living in a large villa of several hundred square meters, he absolutely could not bear to live in a dilapidated and cramped tenement building.
Moreover, Wu Guozhu was concerned about his image. As the deputy factory director, how could he possibly live in such a house? However, such new family buildings, with slightly better environments, are generally not rented out by ordinary families, especially since they are so large. There are no vacant units at all.
Finally, the subordinate moved out with his family, leaving the house to Wu Guozhu.
The three-bedroom apartment is occupied by Wu Guozhu and his wife with their triplets in one room, their eldest son Wu Chengjia in another, and Wu Guozhu's study in the third.
This is the study that Wu Guozhu insisted on decorating. At this moment, he especially misses the large study of the Meng family that used to be over 100 square meters, with sofas, a tea room, bookshelves, and a secret room. It was clearly the standard of a wealthy family.
Every time he sat inside to work, he felt like he was sitting in the imperial study.
Even now, despite the hardships of life, he still wants to set up a special study for himself. As the deputy factory director, he must have this much dignity.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Wu family was tense. The triplets were crying loudly in the bedroom, and the crying of the three children was very irritating. Recently, the family members had not been in a good mood, which naturally affected the children. Therefore, these three babies were not easy to take care of and often cried incessantly.
Zhang Guifang ignored them; she was also in the study, her eyes red and tears still on her face.
Wu Chengjia looked at his father sitting behind the desk and said, "Dad, say something."
Wu Guozhu remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice, "I can't leave. Go and bring back your brother's ashes for burial, and bring Meixiang back. I'll negotiate with the neighborhood committee about her returning to the city."
As for Wu Siyu...
Wu Guozhu said, "Take some supplies with you, and leave Siyu 100 yuan so she can live well there and take good care of herself. Once she has a quota to return to the city, I will arrange it for her as soon as possible."
Wu Chengjia nodded; he shared the same view as his father.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Clearly, Wu Siyu has been abandoned. Bringing back a daughter who has already been disfigured would be of no use; she would only become a laughingstock. It would be better to leave her in the countryside.
Wu Chengjia had just reached the door when he stopped, saying somewhat reluctantly, "Dad, our family is in such a difficult situation right now, should we take this opportunity to bring Meng Fuyan back as well? She has money and manages so much rent. If she comes back, we can move back to our old house, and..."
Wu Chengjia's eyes were brimming with calculation. "She'll be eighteen next year, old enough to get married!"
Wu Siyu was disfigured, but Meng Fuyan was not.
She is also a daughter of the Wu family, and possesses such an unparalleled beauty. Now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of her; perhaps she can even help the Wu family return to its former glory.
Zhang Guifang looked at Wu Guozhu with anticipation.
Wu Guozhu sighed regretfully, "No need, you can't bring her back. Even if you could bring her back, don't provoke her now, let alone have the quota.
“Remember this, Meng Fuyan is just an orphan, there’s nothing to fear. Our enemy is Lu Jianjun.”
“Without Lu Jianjun’s protection, Meng Fuyan wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble. Everything the Meng family has belongs to us. Right now, we are going through a tough time. The Yuan family has fallen, and Lu Jianjun is going crazy against me. Bringing her back at this time might not be a good thing.”
"That little brat is unruly and has a wicked personality. Once he gets angry, he doesn't care about anything. If he really comes back, he might cause us more trouble."
Wu Chengjia was very unwilling. "Are we just going to let her go like this? If it weren't for her, how could we have ended up like this? Dad, we are your children. Who is that Meng Fuyan? She should have been killed long ago."
The more Wu Chengjia talked, the more resentful he became. "So what if Lu Jianjun protects her? She's in the countryside now, so I'll go there this time and teach her a lesson. The emperor is far away, so Lu Jianjun can't do anything about it."
Wu Guozhu said angrily, "I told you, we can't touch Meng Fuyan for now. Even if you teach her a lesson, what good will it do us? Lu Jianjun will definitely go even crazier and cause us more trouble when he finds out..."
"At least we can get the money off her. That little bastard has several thousand yuan on her. If we get it, we won't have to live so frugally. Besides, with those few thousand yuan, we can use it to give gifts and build connections. Maybe your crisis will be resolved, Dad. Changning City isn't just Lu Jianjun's territory."
Wu Guozhu did not speak.
Wu Chengjia added fuel to the fire, "Besides, even if we don't cause trouble for Meng Fuyan, will Lu Jianjun let us go?"
This time, Wu Guozhu fell silent and waved him out.
Wu Chengjia knew that his father had tacitly agreed with his words.
Zhang Guifang, who was standing to the side, felt very regretful that she had not been able to get revenge on Meng Fuyan, but she was somewhat comforted that her daughter was about to return.
As for the deceased Wu Chengye and the abandoned Wu Siyu...
She didn't really feel much.
She was their aunt. In the past, their common enemy in this family was Meng Fuyan. All their anger, jealousy, scheming, and fighting were directed at Meng Fuyan.
But now that Meng Fuyan is gone, the family doesn't have many resources left, so naturally their hearts have turned away.
Comparatively speaking, she naturally cares more about her daughter.
Those two weren't her biological children.
These past few days, Meng Fuyan has been having a very pleasant time.
There's been some activity on the back mountain lately, so everyone in the Banqiao brigade has been staying home and not going up the mountain, including Meng Fuyan.
If she doesn't want to go up the mountain, she can go to the river!
