Setting up a game
Late at night, Jiang Zhizhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, staring at the dark night scene outside the bed in a daze, and Lu Xiye's voice came from the mobile phone in her palm.
He told her everything that happened at Jiang Zhizhi's house today, and when he mentioned Wang Cuihua, he could not hide his disgust.
However, he changed the subject and asked curiously, "How did you know something would happen to your family today? And why did you ask me to come over and take a look?"
Jiang Zhizhi said calmly: "Nothing, I just guessed."
Today is the day Jiang Dajun is discharged from the hospital. Jiang Zhizhi's eyelids have been twitching since morning. She is still worried, so she asks Lu Xiye to go there.
"How is my mother now?"
"They are just superficial injuries, nothing serious, don't worry."
"Well, that's good."
I hope that after this incident, Chen Yuping can think it through and not be manipulated by those two people from the Jiang family anymore.
The reason why Wang Cuihua attacked Chen Yuping today was very simple. The fundamental reason was not that she refused to treat Jiang Dajun's illness, but that she was afraid of her own old age.
She wanted to use this madness to establish her status, so that Chen Yuping would never dare to resist her again, and then she could live with Chen Yuping and suck her blood with a clear conscience.
"Oh, that..." Lu Xiye thought about how he had spoken out about the one million as quickly as possible today. He wanted to give Jiang Zhizhi a heads-up, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt guilty, "Forget it, it's okay."
"Thank you for today. It's late. Go home and get some rest."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhizhi sat down on the sofa tiredly and put her phone aside.
The room fell silent, with only the girl's heavy breathing as the sound.

The news that Lujiang Village was going to be demolished came out of nowhere and spread like wildfire again. Everyone believed it almost immediately.
After all, Nanshi has been developing rapidly in the past two years, and the transformation of urban villages has been getting faster and faster.
"Have you heard? In Lvjiang, compensation for demolitions is based on population. For every additional person in a family, we get an extra 50 square meters."
"Why did I hear it was a monetary compensation? For every additional person registered in the household registration, there's an additional 150,000 yuan in compensation."
"You are all wrong. It's about the size of the house and the compensation. You can choose to ask for more money or more compensation for the size of the house."
"The more family members there are, the better! The more people there are, the more compensation you can get."
"I heard that the household registration will be frozen soon. Once the household registration is frozen, it will be impossible to transfer to a new household. If you can add someone to your family, you should do it quickly."
“…”
Zhao Guodong walked out of a roadside breakfast shop feeling depressed.
He is a plumber and a fellow villager of Jiang Guozhong. They are both migrant workers from outside the village. When Jiang Guozhong was around, he would do some odd jobs. Although he didn't earn much, he could still make a living.
But ever since Jiang Guozhong's divorce, he went to City B and then suddenly disappeared. He couldn't make any extra money from Jiang Guozhong, his wife and children at home were always quarreling with him, there wasn't much work at the construction site, and he didn't have much income every month.
What's worse is that he also likes to play mahjong and often participates in Feng Mei's group's card games. In the past, he could still break even with wins and losses, but in the past two months, he has lost more than 20,000 yuan in total. It's really shocking.
His wife and children don't even know about this 20,000 yuan. If they knew, who knows what would happen...
Why is his life so unlucky?
These local people in Lujiang Village are so lucky!
Lujiang Village will be demolished soon. By then, every household in the village will be a millionaire, and each family will have at least two or three houses.
As for him, after so many years in Nanshi, not only could he not afford to buy a house, even basic living became a problem...
He rode his electric bike and rushed to the construction site.
Just as he left Lujiang Village, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Zhao Guodong stopped the car and answered the phone. A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Are you Zhao Guodong?"
He had never heard this voice before, "Who are you?
"I'm Jiang Guozhong's friend. Can you do me a favor?"
"Help? What help?"
"Jiang Guozhong's parents are in Nanshi now, but it's not convenient for him to go see them. Can you help go and see them? I can pay you, how about a thousand yuan?"
"One thousand yuan?" Zhao Guodong widened his eyes. Just to go and see Jiang Guozhong's parents, he would get one thousand yuan?
"Send me your card number. I'll transfer 500 yuan to you first, and then transfer the rest to you when you come back."
"Okay, okay, now? Where are his parents?"
"I'll text you."
After a while, Zhao Guodong received a transfer of 500 yuan and a community address.
He was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he was so lucky to have such unexpected wealth.
He has to go sooner rather than later, because maybe this person will regret it someday.
Immediately, he stopped working and went to the supermarket to buy two boxes of things and a bag of fruit, then rushed to the address in the message.

Chen Yuping has not returned home since she went out yesterday. Only Wang Cuihua and Jiang Dajun are at home.
Wang Cuihua was unwilling to serve him. Jiang Dajun lay on Chen Yuping's bed and urinated and defecated, but she was unwilling to clean up. The whole room was filled with stench.
Last night, Wang Cuihua was so disgusted that she didn't enter his room all night and slept in Jiang Zhizhi's room shamelessly.
When she woke up in the morning, she was in so much pain from being beaten by Lu Xiye yesterday that she got up groaning and went to the kitchen to cook.
While this was happening, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Wang Cuihua thought it was Chen Yuping who came back, and her face showed a bit of disdain and contempt.
This is Chen Yuping's home. No matter how hard she beats her, she will not come back.
However, after last night, Wang Cuihua finally figured it out.
She still couldn't really break up with Chen Yuping. Jiang Dajun still expected Chen Yuping to serve him. The old man needed someone to serve him every day when he ate, drank, defecated and urinated. It was so disgusting that she didn't want to do it.
Moreover, no one knows where Jiang Guozhong has gone. After Jiang Dajun dies, she will have to continue living here. Otherwise, when she gets old, she will be alone and helpless, and no one will take care of her.
As for Chen Yuping, she knew that she was a complete soft persimmon and she could easily control her.
When Wang Cuihua thought of this, her expression changed and she hurried over to open the door.
"Yuping, you are... who are you?" Wang Cuihua said halfway when she suddenly saw a man standing outside and immediately turned her face away again.
She looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing overalls and his clothes were very dirty. It was obvious that he was a poor man.
Chen Yuping’s new man?
If that were the case, she would have to break them up.
"Auntie? You are Brother Jiang's mother, right? Brother Jiang asked someone to let me come and see you."
Zhao Guodong quickly picked up the boxes and fruits that were placed aside.
When Wang Cuihua heard that it was Jiang Guozhong who asked him to come, she hurriedly and happily welcomed him in.
"Oh my, you are Guozhong's friend? Where is he now? Why didn't he contact us? His father is sick, and there's no news from him..."
"I don't know where he is. He asked someone to let me come here. I heard that he... Oh my god, what's that smell in this room?"
Zhao Guodong came in while talking. As soon as he reached the living room, he smelled a strong and foul stench, and almost vomited out his breakfast this morning.
Only then did Wang Cuihua realize that Jiang Dajun had not cleaned up yet and the whole house was filled with a foul stench.
Seeing Zhao Guodong's disgusted expression, Wang Cuihua felt a little embarrassed. "Oh, sorry, Guozhong's father is paralyzed. I have to take care of him every day. I was just about to clean up for him when you came."
As she spoke, she quickly closed the door of the bedroom where Jiang Dajun was.
"Uncle Jiang is paralyzed? Oh, you're old too, how can you take care of him? Why don't you go find Feng Mei? As your daughter-in-law, it's her natural duty to take care of you. Besides, aren't your grandchildren all there? Why are you living here?"
This is the evil of human nature. When Zhao Guodong saw that Jiang Dajun was paralyzed, he wanted to drag Feng Mei into the water without hesitation.
Not to mention that he lost more than 20,000 yuan playing mahjong with Feng Mei, but he was extremely jealous just thinking that Feng Mei's house was about to be demolished and she would soon become rich.
If Jiang Guozhong's parents moved there, Feng Mei would have to serve the two old people. She loved dressing up and dressed gorgeously in the village. He felt very happy when he thought of her serving Jiang Dajun in such a smelly environment.
Wang Cuihua knew Feng Mei, but she didn't know where she lived. Moreover, Feng Mei was a newly married daughter-in-law and they had never dealt with each other before. So after arriving in Nanshi, Wang Cuihua did not hesitate to contact Chen Yuping, who was easier to control.
"We've never been to South City. I wonder where Meimei lives? My old man and I both want to go see our grandson!"
Zhao Guodong said, "That's easy. I know where Feng Mei's house is. I'll take you there! Auntie, let me tell you, you've come at the perfect time. If Feng Mei knew you were coming, I wonder how happy she would be. Her house is being demolished, and with one more person in the house, they can get an extra hundred thousand yuan in compensation. The two of you can get an extra three hundred thousand yuan!"
"Wow, three hundred thousand? I can't spend it all in this lifetime!" Wang Cuihua was dumbfounded in surprise.
"That's right, you two are lucky. If you had come a few months later, you wouldn't have these three hundred thousand. Hurry up and pack up. I'll take you to Feng Mei to meet your grandson. We can talk about the rest on the way."
The room stank to high heaven, and he really couldn't stand it any longer, so he urged.
Wang Cuihua was so happy to hear that that she hurried into the house to clean up Jiang Dajun. Actually, she didn't want to clean up, but she had to do it in order to leave a good impression in front of others. When she was cleaning up, she smelled the stench on Jiang Dajun and she almost vomited.
After finishing, she hurried to the bathroom to wash her hands and went out with Zhao Guodong.
*
The entrance of Lujiang Village.
Wang Cuihua saw her grandson for the first time and went into the supermarket to buy food and toys. Zhao Guodong was waiting for him outside when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
He opened it and saw that the remaining 500 yuan had arrived in his account.
The next moment, the phone rang. It was the young man calling again.
Zhao Guodong quickly and happily answered the phone, and even recounted what had just happened on the phone.
The young voice sneered softly upon hearing this, then continued, "Zhao Guodong, let me tell you one more thing. Actually, all this time you were playing mahjong at Feng Mei's house, it was all her setup. Except for you, everyone else at the mahjong table was their own people, just trying to cheat you out of your money. Every time you left, they'd get together to divide the spoils."
"What did you say?" The smile on Zhao Guodong's face froze.
"I can make another deal with you. You take Wang Cuihua to Feng Mei's house now. If you can get Feng Mei to take both Wang Cuihua and Jiang Dajun in, I'll give you another 100,000 yuan."
