Shen Shengnan turned around and went to settle accounts with Fang Jianjun, while Bai Qianzhou started the conversation in the car.
He was a man of few words, so his sudden outburst startled Fu Wan and Qin Fu.
"Sixth Brother, that woman called you brother-in-law. When did you get married? Why didn't you invite me for a drink?"
After asking, he had a look of deep agreement on his face.
"But thinking about it, it makes sense. You're five or six years older than us. Forget about getting married, you probably already have kids who are old enough to run errands, right?"
The way she heard those words sounded awkward, and Fu Wan felt something was off about them. She could even sense a sarcastic, green tea vibe about them!
Not knowing what he had done to offend this troublemaker, Qin Fu said irritably while holding the steering wheel, "I'm inviting you to my wedding, but I can only invite you if I can find you!"
"It's been years, and you're still the same old you!"
When he met his wife, Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning were both studying abroad. The only member of the Qin family who attended the wedding was Qin Mingzhu's mother.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, what should we do now? Should we go back to the courtyard house first, or go check on An Ning and the others?"
Fu Wan raised her hand and glanced at her watch. After all the commotion this morning, it was still not even 11 o'clock.
But perhaps because she had just exerted herself too much, she was actually a little hungry now.
However, we have to wait for Fu Ming and the others to have dinner together, so we definitely need to go to the Zhao family first.
"Let's go see how things are in Anning first. We'll pick them up, and I'll treat you to dinner."
Qin Fu had been with her for a long time and had helped her a lot, so Fu Wan naturally wanted to treat him to a meal.
As for Bai Qianzhou, it's fine to bring him along as well.
"Alright, let's go to the Zhao family now!"
When the Zhao family was mentioned, not only did Qin Fu lose his smile, but Bai Qianzhou, who had been relaxing against the back of the passenger seat, also sat up straight.
The capital city is neither too big nor too small. The Zhao family used to have a place in the capital only because of the Qin family. Although the Qin family has declined, the Zhao family still has some wealth.
Zhao Dong lived in a small villa in the Third Ring Road of Beijing. When Fu Wan and the others arrived, there were already several cars parked in front of the house.
She was surprised and astonished that the Zhao family had some power, but Qin Fu glanced at the license plates and said, "These are all our cars."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them were about to get out of the car when a group of people walked out of the gate. Leading them were Qin Anning and Qin Mingzhu, with several young people in black coats beside them.
Fu Wan scanned the area before finally spotting Fu Ming behind Qin Anning. Upon seeing his appearance, Fu Wan's expression instantly darkened.
Fu Ming was actually injured!
Judging from the handprint on his face, the person who did it must have used all their strength.
"Sister-in-law, Mingzhu, are you alright?"
Fu Wan quickly stepped forward, first checking Mingzhu's body to make sure there were no wounds, then turned to ask Qin Anning.
Qin Anning's hand trembled slightly as she held Fu Wan's, and it took her a long time to calm down.
"It's okay, Wan. That bitch tried to hit me, but your brother stopped her."
Qin Anning gets angry just thinking about it. If Xu Min hadn't been heavily pregnant, she definitely would have fought back then.
"Brother, how's the injury on your face?"
Fu Ming didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even smiled sheepishly when he saw Fu Wan.
"It's nothing, just one slap. I only didn't retaliate because she's a woman!"
He's a grown man, so it's fine if he gets hurt, but his wife can't be hurt.
But Fu Wan was still angry. She could only verbally criticize her older brother at most, but Xu Min had no right to lay a hand on her.
You're pregnant, right? That's okay.
"Was it your wife who hit my older brother?"
Caught off guard by her sudden question, Zhao Dong, who was standing nearby, hurriedly defended himself: "He blocked it himself, Minmin didn't do it on purpose..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Wan slapped him across the face.
"It's inconvenient for me to have an abortion since your wife is pregnant, so you, as her husband, will just have to bear with it!"
"You, you dare to hit me?" Zhao Dong was both shocked and furious.
"I'll hit you if I want to, so what? Can't I hit you?"
The scene left the men around them dumbfounded, but Qin Anning secretly cheered. Why didn't she think of having someone else beat her up?
Only Bai Qianzhou broke the silence quietly.
"Apply the swelling-reducing ointment twice a day after washing your face, and you can stop taking it after three days."
Zhao Dong was delighted and reached out to take it, but Bai Qianzhou turned around and tossed the small bottle in his hand to Fu Ming.
Then she took out a small bottle from the innermost part of the bag.
Zhao Dong felt a renewed sense of hope and was about to reach out.
"Doesn't your hand hurt from using so much force? Take this medicine with you too, you can use it if you have muscle and bone pain."
"Next time you want to beat someone up, tell me. I've trained now. I can beat up ten Zhao Dongs, let alone one."
Qin Fu couldn't help but chuckle at these words.
Fu Wan's face flushed, and after a long pause, she managed to stammer, "I...I know."
Only Zhao Dong, both ashamed and angry, lowered his hands, saying, "You...you all!"
But he dared not do anything, after all, let alone anyone else, Qin Fu alone could kill him.
"Okay, let's go transfer our household registration first!"
Although Qin Anning felt much better, she still wanted to force Zhao Dong to transfer his household registration first.
Zhao Dong had refused to go along in the first place, and if Qin Fu and his brothers hadn't attacked him, he wouldn't be here now.
Qin Fu naturally knew all this, so he took out a few packs of cigarettes from the trunk of the car, distributed them to the brothers who were helping him, and then turned around and led Qin Anning and the others to the civil affairs department.
Because there were too many people and one car wasn't enough, Bai Qianzhou and Qin Fu each drove a car.
The two cars drove towards the civil affairs department. Not long after Qin Anning got into the car, she began to tell Fu Wan about their experience at the Zhao family's house.
When they arrived at the Zhao family's house, Xu Min was lying on the sofa watching TV, heavily pregnant.
Upon seeing Qin Anning bring Qin Mingzhu in, her expression immediately turned sour.
But Zhao Dong's father seemed unusually happy, and even pulled Qin Mingzhu aside to ask her about her well-being.
Qin Anning thought the Zhao family still had a conscience, but she didn't expect that the old man would reveal his true colors when she suggested moving Qin Mingzhu's household registration out.
He actually knew that Qin Mingzhu was about to inherit a fund!
After a long tug-of-war, if Qin Fu's brothers hadn't revealed the name of Third Master Ning, Qin Anning wouldn't have been able to get the household registration book so easily today.
"Godmother, that woman is so wicked!"
Qin Mingzhu whispered in Fu Wan's ear.
This was the first time Qin Mingzhu had spoken ill of Xu Min, and Fu Wan felt something was amiss.
"Mingzhu, did she hit you?"
Qin Mingzhu shook her head, then covered her head with both hands and said, "She didn't hit me, she locked me in the closet and wouldn't let me sleep."
Fu Wan's face darkened instantly upon hearing this, and Qin Anning also found it strange, "Mingzhu was with me just now and wasn't bullied by Xu Min."
But Fu Wan understood Qin Mingzhu's meaning, and before she could speak, Bai Qianzhou spoke calmly.
"Mingzhu means that Xu Min did this before, right?"
Qin Mingzhu nodded fearfully. Fu Wan felt heartbroken and hugged her tightly. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Mingzhu absolutely had to show up today, she wouldn't have let Qin Mingzhu go to the capital.
Although this place is bustling, it holds too many unpleasant memories for Qin Mingzhu.
"Godmother, I'm not afraid. I know I'm going back to Fujia Village. Lingling and I have already made a promise that we can go to school together when I get back."
Seeing how sensible she was, Fu Wan's eyes welled up with tears. "Okay, we'll go home in a couple of days!"
Qin Anning also wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She also felt sorry for the child, but in order to get back what her sister had left behind, she had to take Qin Mingzhu on this trip.
Fortunately, the outcome was still good.
