Chapter 437
Wang Jiazhi had just woken up that morning with her hair frizzling. The little maid brought her a letter from Xiaoshuang. Just as she was about to open it and read, the phone rang again. It was Mrs. Liang. She sounded hoarse and anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
She seemed to recall him telling her yesterday that Mrs. Liang's husband had been fired and there was no turning back, so she should ignore him. Amidst Mrs. Liang's chatter, Wang Jiazhi wondered if it was a dream or if he had actually told her.
After thinking for a long time, and not paying attention to what Mrs. Liang said, she was probably sure it wasn't a dream. There was no way, he told her after that, and she fell asleep quickly, so her memory was too vague.
Mrs. Liang vowed to meet with her. She had no choice but to call Ms. Qiao, who said that the matter had spread a long time ago. She asked Mrs. Xiao and others to go and comfort Mrs. Liang.
When they arrived at Mrs. Liang's house, she burst into tears and said, "It's called 'lucky', but who doesn't? We are an honest family, and we are not as ruthless as others. You can't just bully honest people and use our family as a target."
Several people gathered around her to comfort her. Mrs. Ma didn't come today, and Wang Jiazhi was very curious. How could she miss such a chance to watch the fun?
Everyone knew that their family was truly honest and had made a lot of money. Especially last time, they used a honey trap to sell a large batch of imported rice to someone at a low price.
Now that a new person has been appointed and the situation has come to this, who else can we target if not him?
"You need to talk to Mr. Yi for me."
Mrs. Liang held her hand like a family member.
Wang Jiazhi also smiled and agreed seriously. After finally getting away from Mrs. Liang's house, Wang Jiazhi asked if she had seen Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her to go out."
Ms. Qiao whispered in her ear, "It seems like they want Old Ma to catch them red-handed and beat them up so badly that they can't leave the house."
"ah!!!"
Mrs. Liao said, "Old Ma also doesn't want to air his dirty laundry. Who knows if they'll get a divorce?"
When Ms. Qiao got back in her car, she said, "Mrs. Liao herself has also been in trouble."
"Um?"
Ms. Qiao laughed and said, "The family is in debt, and half of the servants have been dismissed. She originally wanted to marry her son off to a wealthy family for his future. The daughter-in-law's family just found her son a small job, but he doesn't want to work at all and never goes. After a few months, he was fired. She went to ask her in-laws, but they wouldn't see her. She asked someone to pass on the message that it was useless to find a job for her son, and that they would accuse her of nepotism. The daughter-in-law she wanted to marry didn't get her any money, but instead she was left with a mountain of debt and a gluttonous ancestor to support."
Wang Jiazhi said, "It's her own fault. She doesn't deserve sympathy."
A few days ago, Xiaoshuang wrote to me and handed over a letter from her father in England. She was shocked to learn how the letter had ended up there.
I have to admire Meihui, the intelligence queen. She is really suited to intelligence work. Being an ordinary person is really a waste of talent.
The story goes that her father had been writing to Lao Yi, but when he got no reply, he wrote to her aunt, who, of course, was no longer around. The letter sat there for several months until her cousin went back and saw it. The letter said he hadn't heard from Wang Jiazhi in a long time and was very worried.
The cousin was puzzled. His uncle had always treated his cousin as a burden, so if she hadn't been around, it wasn't a big deal. Why was he so anxious to find her? He thought he was being too petty. After all, they were his own flesh and blood. How could he just ignore her like a beast?
Sons often resemble their mothers, and my cousin, who's rare not to be as bad as my aunt, still resembles my uncle. I actually took a few more days off to look for her. When I found her at school, the class monitor mentioned having met Wang Jiazhi before, and that she seemed to be doing well and quite wealthy.
My cousin is not a fool. He immediately guessed why my uncle was looking for his daughter.
There were former classmates at the school who kept in touch with Meihui, so the letter naturally went from her cousin to Meihui, who then forwarded it to Xiaoshuang, who then forwarded it back to her. It went from overseas to China, circled half of China, and finally returned to Shanghai.
The letter explained that the family was deeply in debt and unable to repay, that the house had been sold, and that he had been laid off and couldn't find a job. His younger brother couldn't find a job either, and that the father and son were temporarily living in a rented house in the slums. They were truly broke and had nowhere else to turn.
Wang Jiazhi wrote back to Xiaoshuang, explaining that she had already given them a large sum of money. They were treating their investments like a gambler, giving them money but not paying off their debts and investing again. It was a bottomless pit. Her income from writing was limited, and she simply couldn't afford their behavior.
Xiaoshuang had never had a good impression of Wang Jiazhi's father. He abandoned his daughter in such a chaotic world, took his son abroad to live a carefree life, and even married a foreign wife.
When she got home and opened the letter, it turned out to be a reply from Xiaoshuang.
"Don't be soft-hearted and pay attention to them. They won't remember your kindness. By then, you've lost all your money and how will you live? You shouldn't have given them the money before."
Wang Jiazhi once said to him, "Even if you've raised a dog for sixteen years, it still has some affection for you. I'm not even as good as a dog!"
Every time she received a letter from them, she would feel like killing someone. She thought that if they hadn't left her here, she wouldn't have encountered such a terrible thing and wouldn't have been ruined.
Wang Jiazhi held Xiaoshuang's letter and threw herself on the bed crying.
When he came back at night, he saw her cuddling the kittens and sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room. The two kittens had returned this year and were nestling next to Dabai with the other three. He was very relieved, thinking that they would have nowhere to hide from the winter this year.
He quietly took off his coat, carried the kitten upstairs, and placed her in her crib, placing the bunny toy beside her. He went downstairs and stood in front of her. Seeing she was still asleep, he thought for a moment, then quietly carried her upstairs as well. He placed her on the bed and sat quietly beside her.
After a while, she closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands and laughed.
"I knew you weren't asleep." He smiled.
